Wolverines' Chances Fade As Injury Sidelines Captain 'iM' SEEKS TO RETAIN TITLE: Swim Hopes Rest with Hopkins, Hanley, Kimball By TOM WITECKI The Michigan gymnastics team suffered a great blow yesterday when it learned that its injured captain, Ed Gagnier, will not be able to compete in this weekend's Big Ten Championships at Iowa City, Iowa. Gagnier, who tied for the all- around title in last year's Big Ten meet, was counted on to be Michi- gan's "big gun" in the coming meet. The all-around gymnast has been sidelined with a torn pectoral muscle for most of the season. Gagnier received the chest injury February 15 while warming up on the high bar in preparation for a meet with Central Michigan. Take It Easy Since that time he has been taking it easy in hope that the injured muscle would heal in time for the Big Ten meet. However, Wednesday night he slightly re- injured the muscle during a light workout. The final blow came Saturday night when Gagnier severely re- injured the healing muscle while warming up for the Penn State meet. Coach Newt Loken remarked that "Ed will make the trip to Iowa with the rest of the team' and will act as an assistant coach." Bright Note A brighter note on the gym scene was Michigan's fine per- formance Saturday night against Penn State, the defending NCAA Clampions. Before the meet, gymnastics ob- servers expressed the opinion that the Nittany Lion gymnasts would give the Wolverines quite a maul- ing but the local squad rose to the occasion and Penn State just man- aged to eke out a 51-45 victory. Coach Loken said, "I thought the boys put in a good perform- ance against Penn State, especi- 1T4 puu xeq llged eT. uT Al 3 ring events. The return of Ed Cole to compe- tition was another cheerful sign for the squad. The Big Ten tram- poline champion took first in his specialty Saturday night despite a heavy bandage on his injured ankle. O 'Reilly, Kyle Stand Out In Recent Track Meets By BOB ROMANOFF Members of the Michigan track team traveled to Cleveland and Denison, Ohio, and Hamilton, Ont. over the weekend to compete un- attached in indoor competition. The Cleveland Knights of Co- lumbus meet, held Friday night, was the biggest track show of the weekend. Captain Brendan O'Reilly tied for third in the high jump with a mark of 6'4". Doug Kyle put on a good showing as he finished second in the two mile run. Gibson Ties Landstrom In the pole vault Mamon Gibson tied teammate Eeles Landstrom with a vault of 14', which was not good enough to place, however. Hurdler Pete Stanger and middle distance man Dave Martin also failed to place. In the race which held the most interest for the fans Villanova's star miler Ron Delany won as ex- pected. He won the, race easily with a time of 4:11.5, as he made no attempt to better his indoor record made lastweek at Chicago. Although this was supposed to be his last indoor meet in the U. S., since he graduates in June, his close friend O'Reilly, said: "De- lany is considering returning to the States next year to work toward his Master of Arts degree, since he broke his engagement with his girl last December." O'Reilly Takes High Jump In the Denison Relays, Saturday night, O'Reilly took the high jump with 6'5%". Gibson who had to borrow a strange pole was only able to do 12'6". The Hamilton Highlander Games ,Saturday night, saw some of Michigan's top Freshman com- peting. The meet was held on a board track, of which there are none of in the Big Ten. Freshman John Gregg won the Junior 50-yd. dash with a time of :05.6. Frank Geist finished second in the Junior 880 but was dis- qualified for running a few steps off the track. Doug Kyle finished second to Michigan's ex-track Captain Ron Wallingford in the two mile run. ED GAGNIER ... to miss big one Basilio Puts Title on Line CHICAGO (P)- A current 8-5 choice, Carmen Basilio tonight malres the first defense of his world middleweight title in a re- match with amazing Sugar Ray Robinson, who seeks that crown for the fifth time. The 15-round match, beginning at 10 p.m., CST, in the Chicago Stadium will be broadcast nation- ally by CBS and shown on closed circuit television. Basilio, at 5-6%, also will spot Robinson more than 4 inches in height and about 3 inches in reach. But Carmen, 30, has a 7- year advantage in the vital age department. Phi Sig Wins IM Bowling Phi Sigma Delta won the I-M social fraternity bowlinghcham- pionship Sunday afternoon by vir- tue of an easy 2600-2381 victory over Tau Delta Phi. The Phi Sigs, led by Gerry Po- ticha who shot 553 including a 214 game, won the first game by 97 pins and were never threatened after that. Other scores for the Phi Sigs were: Stan Noskin, 501; Eddie Spilkin, 535; Mike Silber, 495; and Bob Binkow, 516. By CARL RISEMAN Cy Hopkins will defend his 200- yd. breaststroke crown - in the NCAA meet which will be staged at the Varsity Exhibition Pool this weekend. Swim coach Gus Stager says of Hopkins, "He's one of the toughest swimmers that I have ever seen and I don't envy any of his op- ponents." Hopkins opponents are firmid- able. In the 100-yd. breaststroke, Joe Koletsky of Yale, George Ma- thias of Cornell and Stanford's Tom Peterson are less than half a second off Hopkin's best time of 1:05.5. The 200-yd. breaststroke should be quite close this year if times are an indication. Koletsky has registered a 2:24.3 with Hopkins and Frank Modine only three tenths of a second slower. Ann Arbor Star A graduate of University Highi School. in Ann Arbor, Hopkins entered Michigan in the fall of 1955. Although a former high school Class B swim champion in both the individual medley and the butterfly - breaststroke, his chances were considered very slim for earning a varsity letter. One afternoon Hopkins swam the breaststroke against other members of the team and Coach Stager noticed that he easily kept up with the others and converted him to the new stroke. The results were phenomenal. Last year as a sophomore, the tow-headed star clinched both the Big Ten 200-yd. breaststroke and also the 200-yd. butterfly event with a third place finish in the 100-yd. breaststroke. Hopkins also was NCAA cham- pion in the breaststroke and held the American record in the 200-yd. butterfly for a day. It was quickly broken by Yale's Tim Jecko. By DICK MINTZ Dick Hanley, Michigan's title winning freestyler, will be out to win his first national individual swim title this weekend. Hanley, who is the Big Ten 100- yd. and 200-yd. freestyle cham- pion, is given a good chance to cop either of the national freestyle titles. Loses to Woolsey In last year's NCAA finals, Han- ley was edged out by Bill Woolsey of Indiana in the 220-yd. race and had to settle for a second. His second place finish in the 100-yd. event was disqualified. Hanley was also a member of last year's 400-yd. medley relay team, which won the national title. He swam the final leg in this crucial event. The points gained by this victory enabled Michigan to clinch the national title. Goes to Olympics In 1956, Hanley's great swim- ming ability was recognized as he was chosen to represent the United States in the Olympic Games at Melbourne, Australia. "Determination and desire," Hanley believes are the prime at- tributes of any sports champion. Practicing what he preaches, Han- ley has devoted himself to the gruelling everyday practice of kicking, pulling, and sprinting the lengths of the varsity pool. Hanley also spends many hours away from the pool in the exer- cise room doing push-ups, sit-ups and weight lifting in order to keep his muscles at the peak flexibility that swimming demands. This has been Hanley's routine since 1952 when he decided to con- centrate on swimming rather than football. COLLEGE BASEBALL Clemson 7, Michigan State 5 By CHUCK KOZOLL Specializing in precision dives from all levels, Dick Kimball ranks as one of the Conference's top con- tenders for NCAA diving honors. Taking the one and three meter board championships in the 1957 NCAA finals, Kimball played a major role in Michigan's first na- tional victory under coaches Gus Stager and Bruce Harlan. Back to haunt the Wolverine diver, how- ever, will be the two Buckeye art- ists who dominated the field in the Big Ten meet, Don Harper and Glen Whitten. "Practice in large doses" is Kim- ball's explanation for success off the boards. Gearing himself for the coming competition Kimball prac- tices at least twice a day, alter- nating work off the one and three meter boards. Gets Swimming Job When the NCAA is finished, Kimball will begin workouts off the high platform to get in shape for the summer AAU diving con- test. "I usually get a summer job at a swimming pool," he noted, add- ing, "it gives me a chance to prac- tice dives in off hours." Kimball, who went into the div- ing business when he was in the FOR POSITIONS IN PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEERING Design-Investigation-- Construction OF Roads-Bridges-Sewers- Storm Drains-Hydraulic Structures-Buildings- Water Works seventh grade, was the spark in motivating his Rochester, Minn., high school team to success. After spending his freshman year at Oklahoma, the chance of being coached by Olympic diver Harlan drew him to Michigan. Citing him as the best coach in the country, Kimball praised Har- lan for his ability to demonstrate as well as coach.

The Michigan League Play the Stock Market (REAL Stock) SALE FORMERLY $2.00 Athletic Plant Building Plan Succeeds (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec- ond In a series of three articles deal- ing with the University Athletic plant. Today's article deals 'with the 10-year 'building program.) By CARL RISEMAN Ten years ago the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics mapped out an ambitious building program. Under the leadership of Athletic Director and Board Chairman H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler, the program has been a success. "The program was divided into two phases," stated Crisler. "The first stage, which is almost complete, involved the improve- ment and expansion of our inter- collegiate athletic facilities." Recreational Program "The second part of the pro- gram," he continued, "involves the increase and improvement of the facilities for student recreation." Remodeling and enlarging the seating capacity of the coliseum was the first measure carried out under the 10-year program. In 1949, the Coliseum was en- larged from 2700 to 3900 seats and was also modernized. In 1950 the baseball stands were enlarged to their present seating capacity of 9,000 seats. During the same year Michigan Stadium, which was to prove to be a favorite target of the building program, was enlarged from 86,238 to 97,239 seats with the installa- tion of permanent bleachers and steel seats. The Clubhouse at the Golf Course was opened in June1950. Womens' Swimming Pool Three years later the Womens' Swimming Pool was completed while the new Athletic Adminis- tration Building was completed in 1955. The nine-hole University Golf Course was opened in 1955. In 1956 and 1957 the first phase of the program was finished with1 the completion of the Varsity Ex-1 hibition Pool, the acquisition of Wines Field, the addition of the Communication Center and the enlarging of the capacity of Mich-l igan Stadium to 100,001. This 10-year building program was completely financed by the Board's self-liquidating fund. "We now can say that we have one of the best if not the best col- lege athletic plant in the country," asserted Crisler. What of the second phase of the program, that dealing with the students' recreational needs? Decline in Revenue The only addition to the recrea- tional facilities in the last ten years was the acquisition of Wines Field with the building of a re- hearsal hall for the Michigan Marching Band. The big money makers which 1 are hockey, basketball and foot- ball in particular, saw their at- tendance drop in the past year which resulted in a slowdown of receipts and a similar effect on the recreational phase of the building program. Crisler, the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics and those concerned with campus ath- letics in general have mapped out a program for intramural and recreational sports which they hope to carry out when the needed funds come through.
