The gymnastics team will host Wisconsin this afternoon at 2:30. In the meet last night, Barry Feinberg, Dick Kimball, and Nino Marion captured firsts outright and Marion and Wolfgang Do- zauer tied for another as the Wol- verines' overall team strength accounted, for victory. Although Navy Pier placed first in three events, the Illinois school outscored Michigan -in only one, the side horse in which it took a third and a fourth in addition to one of its firsts. Opponent Stars The outstanding performance of the evening was a brilliant ef- fort in tumbling by Navy Pier's freshman, Al Barasch. The per- formance earned 95 out of a pos- sible 100 points and the praise of Michigan coach, Newt Loken. hLoken called Barasch "one of the finest freshman tumblers I've seen in years." Barasch has been tumbling for only two years. The Michigan squad swept'both the free exercise and the high bar which Marion and Feinberg won, respectively. Marion was followed by Jim Hayslett and Dozauer in the free exercise while Dozauer and Marion finished second and third behind Feinberg on the high bar. Kimball Wins On the trampoline, 'in which the Wolverines have excelled all season, Kimball was awarded 93 points to edge out teammate Frank Newman who earned 92.5. Barasch broke into the Michi- gan monopoly in this event with 89.5 points for third place. The winners' fourth first came on parallel bars, as Dozauer and Marion tied with 86 points to fin- ish far ahead of all other compe- titors in the event. Paul Magierek of Navy Pier outscored all competitors on still rings with 93 points. This event featured one of the best overall performances this year, with all five point winners earning 88 points or better. Dozauer and Marion again tied, this time for second, with 89.5 points. Hayslett scored 88.5 to fin- ish fourth and Ernie Porps took fifth with 88. Most Points Marion was top total point scorer for the meet with 430 points while William Simms of Navy Pier accounted for 404 to place second in this respect. An added feature of the even- ing was the rope climb, which started out to be just an exhibi- tion by Michigan's Dana Larson, but ended up as a competition be-' tween three Wolverines and two men from Navy Pier. Larson won the event with a time of 4.7 seconds. Marion fin- ished second in 5.7 seconds; Porps was third with 6.4; All Stall of Michigan took fourth in 6.4 and Charles Lahtinen of Navy Pier finished fifth in 0:07. STATISTICS FREE EXERCISE: 1.

WOLFGANG DOZAUER . . . helps cause t RESCUES BACKSTROKERS: Smith Sparkles in Com CHICAGO (R) - Ron Delany surged to a tremendous finish and a new world indoor mile record of 4:03.4 in the Chicago Relays before 10,136 in the International Amphi- theater last night. Delany shaved two-tenths of a second off the former world mark of 4:03.6 set by Denmark's Gun- nar Nielsen in New York in 1955. Delany stayed back until the final two laps and then roared in front to win by 35 yards over Phil Coleman of the University of Chi- cago Track Club. Tht Irish 1,500-meter Olympic champion, representing Villanova, had a scorching 58.4 final quarter as he obviously pounded for a new record before the screaming crowd. Delany ran last in the four-man field the first six laps of the 11- lap chase. He moved into the lead on the ninth lap, then set his own pace the rest of the way. Another new world record was announced as Hayes Jones of Eastern Michigan was clocked in :07.0 in the 60-yard high hurdles. Milt Campbell, former Indiana hurdling star, also had an unoffi- 'cial 7.0 clocking in the Millrose games in New York, Feb. 9, 1957. Delany's triumph in the Bank- ers Mile, his semifinal effort of the indoor season gave him his 23rd consecutive victory at the distance on the boards. And it was his 28th consecutive triumph in indoor competition. The Irishman's best previous time for the indoor mile was 4:03.7 St. John Plays Utah in NIT By The Associated Press St. Bonaventure and Utah, third and fourth seeded, respectively, make their bids for semifinal spots today in the National Invitation basketball tournament at Madison Square Garden.

Subscribe to The Michigan Daily By TOM BITTKER' John Smith has come back. Smith, a sophomore backstrok- er on Coach Gus Stager's Big Ten championship swimming team, turned in a sparkling perform- ance at last weekend's Conference meet. Smith shocked many observers by capturing second places in both the 100-yd. and 200-yd. back- stroke. In each event Iowa's NCAA champion Lincoln Hurring beat Smith by less than three seconds. Previous to the Big Ten cham- pionship meet, Smith had been undefeated in dual-meet back- stroke competition. Thus it was a highly successful season for Smith, who had rejoined the squad in February after spending a semester at the University of Hawaii. Before Smith returned to the team, Michigan's backstroke out- look had been dimmed by the loss of Don Adamski. Smith filled this gap quite capably, as his season's performance indicates. Of major concern to mith at present is the NCAA champion; ship swimming meet, which will aback Effort be held here March 27-28-29. He will compete against the nation's best backstrokers, including Hur- ring and Yale's Jerry Dolbey. Stager says, "We are tremen- dously proud of John, not because of his great ability, but because of the improvement in his atti- tude. It is apparent that the soft- spoken swimmer is still far from measuring up to his potential ability. He has yet failed to bet- ter his time of :58.7 in the 100-yd. backstroke which he set two years ago to break the national high school record in that event. "Must Work Hard" "In order towreach this poten- tial, Smith will have to work very hard for improvement," observes Stager. Smith is a dedicated backstrok- er who continually seeks to excel against other swimmers and ex- ceed his past accomplishments. He concedes, however, that he must learn to develop "mental en- durance" - the ability "to work hard when I'm tired." SWANSON TROPHY ..

PLAYERS MUST 'LOVE THE GAME': Perigo's Coaching Philosophy Attacked for Leniency (This is the third in a series of articles discussing the Michigan bas- ketball team. This article will deal { with the coaching situation.). By AL JONES "Bill Perigo is a great guy." This statement sums up the feeling of almost all ljeople who are associated with the Michigan athletic staff, or who have had contact with the genial 'M' bas- ketball mentor.. Actually, Perigo's c o a c h i n g philosophy is built around this general idea: "I expect the boys to play for the love of the game," he states, "and I don't feel that it is necessary to use a great amount of authority. "College players should be be- yond the age when they have to be told everything," he continued. "I feel that my position is to TEACH them basketball, not FORCE it." Many individuals near the scene this winter have felt that with the material present, this year's team could have been better. They feel that the group lacked the spirit that is necessary for a win- ning team. This group has also asserted that Perigo lacks the basic bas- ketball knowledge to be a good college coach. This argument, however, has never been backed by solid evidence. In fact, much that has been seen this season points to just the opposite. New Plays Throughout the winter Perigo has introduced new and effective plays in practice sessions. The problem has been to transmit these plays onto the court during games. Nearly every week the plays have worked in practice, but the players have failed to try them in games. ADVANCE IN TOURNEY: Irish Topple Hoosiers In NCAA Tilt, 94-87 Perigo's coaching knowledge was proved decisively in the sea- son-ending Iowa game, when the players exploded with smooth- working plays to build up a terri- fic lead. The deeper implications of the. Michigan cage coach's 'friendly' approach were pointed out by a source high in the administration. "Very Sinhere" "I have known Perigo closely since he has been here at Michi- gan," the source stated, "and I can say with no reservations thatj he is very sincere in all that he does. He has done more to help his players than many people realize. "For instance, Perigo aided a' certain player a few years ago in obtaining a job and gave him the necessary impetus to remain in school and finish his education. That boy, who would normally have dropped out of school, has since gone on to graduate work." The principle criticism ex- pressed of the Michigan basiet- ball situation by those close to it is a lack of organization. Certain players have stated that they feel more could be accomplished in practice if more authority were exercised. "Love of the Game" In answer to former players that have approached Perigo with this suggestion, the 'M' coach has said, "If you boys are interested in playing ball, the love of the game should provide you with all the incentive necessary." Examples of disorganization that have been pointed to were the away trips to Northwestern and Minnesota this year. On both of these occasions connections were not carefully planned, and the uncertainty of the situation added to the usual away-from- home anxiety for the players. One of the players stated that Perigo's approach to line-up changes is disconcerting, since he leaves the whole problem up in the air until the last minute. Of course, this may be necessary in some cases, since the coach may want to wait to map his strategy. However, it does leave the play- ers in an uncertain frame of mind. Another player summed the sit- uation up by saying that "Perigo's friendly and -trusting approach may be well suited to high school or small college coaching, but it doesn't provide the authority we needed." This points out an important angle that some interested people have felt is at the bottom of the problem. Perigo leaves much of the responsibility up to the play- ers, which he feels they should be able to handle as mature indi- viduals. Players Fail As true as this may be, they have failed to handle certain as- pects of it. Many instances have been brought into the open in- volving players who have broken training rules - rules which Peri- go considers a gentlemen's agree- ment between himself and the players, and which needn't be en- forced with authority. If a coaching philosophy such as Perigo's is to work, the players must accept their part of the bur- den. If authority isn't used, then the players must supply the in- centive to win - "the love of the game" as Perigo states it. One of the players states that "the team as a group has failed to meet Perigo half-way. If we haven't met our capabilities this season it is as much our fault as his."
