He's just not the type. He wasn't discovered in some distant familiar community in. Indiana or on a concrete play- ground in a Chicago slum. He's not receiving a "free ride" to college from the athletic de- partment, not even a partial scholarship. He wasn't an All-American high school cager, he didn't even make All State. What's more, he's not fast, he can't jump, and he can't shoot. But he hustles. "Bill Fraumann sells himself out evey game," told his coach,j Dave Strack. "He gives 150 per .ent in his rebounding, defense and hustle, and that's what I put him in for." Fraumann looks objectively at fast enough to do that," said Fraumann with authority. But if Fraumann hasn't gone as far as to clamp his ivories on his opponents, he has done prac- tically everything else to get the ball. His prowess in wrestling matches on the hard court would make Dave Porter take notice. The configurations he gets him- self into with opposing players look like modern sculptures from Alumni Memoial Hall. And some- times these tactics get him in trouble, even with his own team. "Some of the players on the team resent me because I'm rough with them in practice," said Fraumann. "But it's not that I'm that much rougher than anyone else. It's just that I'm more ob- vious," he added. Fraumann's style of play didn't just develop for him at Michigan; With Higgins he played that way at Ann Arbor High. His team went all the way to the Michigan state high school "A'' championship, but on the shooting and scoring strength of a lanky guard-forward named Earl Higgins. Faumann only shot around five times a game but managed to average in double figures. He stuck to lay-up shots and tip-ins and consequently never devel- oped a good outside jump shot. "I played the same type of on- the-ground basketball in highi school," related Fraumann. "I'm not afraid to get knocked around a little; that's the way to play." Fraumann's starting assignment in the first Ohio State game gave him quite a surprise. "I was elev- enth man at the beginning of +' this season. There's a lot of guys with more ability than I have who < are not starting. I guess Coach Strack just wanted to make a change since we were losing. "Maybe my starting will niake other guys work harder to real- ize their potential and take my place. That would be fine with me," concluded Fraumann.. It would probably be fine with a lot of other people too. MARTY KNIGHT WIN STREAK AT SIX: GOPHERS TOMORROW: Tankers Face Wisconsin Tonight* By VINCE MALONEY the most part an unknown quan- weekend.

In fact, I don't even look for a shot when I'm in there. "But if my hustle can get the other guys to hustle, then I'm do- ing my job," stated the 6'5' center. There is a popular myth that Fraumann once bit an opponent in the heat of a freshman game last year. However, he denied this charge with a sheepish grin. "I don't see how I could have done it. To bite a guy in a bas, ketball game, you first have to catch up with him.

Overall they have achieved an only slightly better' (percent- agewise) 4-15 season showing. The main focus of publicity outf of Duluth this year is the factt that UMD, in cooperation with the1 city, is hosting this year's NCAA1 Hockey Championships in March. UMD pride manifests itself in t the Duluth Arena Auditorium, thes ultra-modern emporium where thec championships will be held, even though the local representativet scoring. Graduation claimed four other forwards. The resulting dependence on sophomores at forward has left the Bulldogs green on offense. The experience was supposed to have been supplied by junior Bruce McLeod, second behind Christian- sen in last year's WCHA scoring race. But McLeod has failed to pro- duce in a fashion comparable to 66-67. Thus far he ranks 33rd in the WCHA with eight points be- hind such scoring stalwarts as Lars Hansen and Lee Marttila. McLeod's performance reflects the dilemma of the entire UMD squad. While managing to scorej only two goals a game this sea- son, the Bulldogs have been giving up an average of nearly four goals And returning senior goalie Dave LeBlanc hasn't lived up to expectations, yielding an average of 5.4 goals per game. All of which results in backup Ron Beck backing up much more than figured at the beginning of the season. The Bulldogs take on Michigan fresh from a four game series with northern neighbors Michi- gan Tech - and four losses. Other Wisconsin tankers that' will bear watching are transfer student John McGrary of Palo Alto who finished third in the California State 200-yd. freestyle championship and s o p h o m o r e backstroker Dan Schwerin who is considered by many to be one best prospects in the Big Ten. I The Michigan team will have to be at its peak performance level to overcome Wisconsin who are particularly tough at home. Coach Stager feels that "We have strength in every event." He didn't think this was the case before Mike O'Connor rounded back into shape for the Purdue meet last optimistic prediction. "I think we still have a chance to finish third in the Big Ten championships." The one position where the Goph- ers seem to have real strength is in the individual medley. This is where Big Ten Champ Marty Knight does his work. #I Variety Kvey to Worne-j may not be present, per contest.

ORDERS BEING TAKEN 2ND FLOOR, STUDENT PUBLICATIONS BLDG. 420 MAYNARD, ANN ARBOR By DIANA ROMANCHUK In 1893 the Women's Athletic Association came into existence offering one sport -- basketball. It has since grown to its pres- ent sponsorship of 14 clubs, in- cluding the newly added Gym- nastics club and Lifeguard Corps. The majority of the clubs are active both semesters excluding speed swimming, square dance, field hockey, golf, and tennis, which run only during the fall term. Despite the word "women" in the title,, three of the clubs - Crop and Saddle, Folk Dance, and Concert Dance - are co-ed.

University above drug store The third club is basically tech- nique classes in modern dance held every Tuesday and Thurdsay nights in Barbuor Gym. As man- ager Emily Dawson explains, "This club, including both students and faculty, serves as a corps from which those who wish to present shows can draw." One endeavor of the club, as part of the Creative Arts Fest- ival, is "A Studio Evening: Facets of Choerography" to be given at 8 p.m. this Sunday in the dance studio of Barbour Gym. Extramural For girls interested in compet- ing in extramural sports, the W.A.A. offers basketball, gym- nastics, and riflery this term. Al- though the teams are formed out of the clubs themselves, a girl can join a club with no intention of becoming part of the team. The 2.0 grade point required to com- pete extramurally does not apply to club membership. The basketball club has both an 'A' and a 'B' team which competes with neighboring schools. This Saturday morning, for example, there will be a doubleheader with Concordia and Jackson Junior College in Barbour Gym. Prac- tice sessions are held every Mon day and Thursday nights in Bar- bour. Other Minnesota tankers expect-4 ed to perform well are Dave Doten. Jim Lindquist and Dave Lundberg, all of whom are freestylers. But despite all the optimism pouring out of Minneapolis, Coach Stager feels, "This Minnesota team is probably one of the weakest Min- nesota teams to compete against Michigan in a few years." 'n'sSports mainly to its annual swim show. 4 This year's presentation, scheduled for March 28, 29 and 30, is entitled "A Touch of Lore." Fifteen rout- ines are presently being worked out around themes of mythology, legends, and folklore. Beyond the actual show, the club also brings in . nationally- known swimmers to demonstrate techniques. One such swimmer, Kim Welshon, a Californian who currently holds the National Jun- ior Soloist title, will offer a few pointers at 7 p.m. this Monday night in the Women's Pool. The basic problem of W.A.A. ac- cording to President Nancy Da- vison is "trying to communicate to the girls on campus about all the facilities that are available to them. For example, we may have to disband the fencing club after this year because of lack of in- r terest, though few of the girls in fencing gym classes are aware of the club's existence." Anyone interested in further in- formation about the W.A.A. should contact Miss Davison (764-7808) or Miss Marie Hartwig, the organ- ization's advisor (through Bar- bour Gym).
