When the senior defenseman removed his skates for the last time after the Minnesota play- off, he gave up the world of col- lege hockey for the world of busi- ness. He bypassed education school, spending two years in lit school before transferring into business administration. "Sometimes I regret not enter- ing ed school," he muses, "at least the coaching aspect. Coach- ing could never be a full-time job for me, but I would like to do something on the amateur level." It was fitting that his last col- lege game should be against Min- nesota - his home state. Born in Edina, he grew up in a hockey system that patterns it- self after Canada. Oddly enough, he was goalie for the first five years. "I enjoyed it, until I got tired of getting shot at," Lord re- members. So he moved out in front of the net where "the best part is hitting people." Lord's partner for last season was Paul Domm, while Lars Han- sen and Phil Gross formed the other pair. "Two sets are perfect," Lord observed, "with a fifth man, (Craig Malcolmson), for penal- ties." In a year where the defense- men racked up their share of goals - Lansen actually led the team in league points - Lord stresses the need for balance. "Paul is an offensive defense- man; I'm a defensive defense- man," he explains. "Phil has abil- ities both ways so he can drop I streak at midseason (which in- back and cover Lars." cluded those four Gopher vie- There is also a need for balance tories), it was not a happy sea- between the goalie and defense. son for the club. Concerning the seeming absence Just like the two years previous, of blocked shots, Lord responds, the icers fizzled out as the season "We try and take the man, and came rushing to a close. let Jimmy (Keough) handle the "We went into the Tech games shots." with the highest scoring average Aside from beating Minnesota, in the league,"Lord recalls.

PLATT- director of the Mental Health Research Institute - Thurs., March 21,7:30 P.M.-Rackham Amphitheatre four times, twice in Minneapolis, the highlight of this year" was his election as team captain. "That's my greatest honor," he agrees. "A college captain is re- sponsible for the team unity. There is a diverse group of per- sonalities that you have to blend and counter-balance." Despite the 10-game winning Lord considers the WCHA the best league in the country. "Just look at the records," he dares. "Cornell won 23 games and got walloped by our third best team (North Dakota) in the NCAA championship. But he does have a few criti- cisms. "There are only three de- cent referees in the league," he tactfully countered a question on the officiating. In regard to the schedule, he states point-blank, "It's a lousy league when a team can choose who it wants to play, when it wants to play, and how many games it plays." in case you shave BILL LORD I } I 3 t I E BiC Medium Point 18 BiC Fine Point 254 Despite fiendish torture dynamic BiC Duo writes first time, every time! mc's rugged pair of ztick pens wins again in unending war against ball-point skip, clog and smear.

MILFORD, CONN. - Agreeing with the WCHA ruling that bars a player from an extra league game for fighting, he adds a reservation, "It leads to more stick injuries, because the players won't drop their sticks and really fight." Since he grew up under the Canadian system, playing college rules, the no checking in the of- fensive zone didn't affect him. "But," he continues, "this is the major drawback to American skaters entering the NHL." Two Cents Worth Adding his two cents to the "who's better" co'ntroversy, he observes, "Americans will be of equal stature in the NHL but not in the near future, it will take maybe 50 years. The Canadians now have more things to do and concentrate less on hockey. Lord feels that Don Canham's appointment to the athletic di- rector post will help the hockey program. "Hockey should be im- proved 100 per cent," he predicts.

Few people do. But there are some notable exceptions. SHERIFF DOUGLAS J. HARVEY of Ann Arbor was told he would be in violation of Michigan's Hutchinson Act if he fired four deputies for trying to form a labor union. Harvey fired the deputies. Explained the sheriff: "I've heard of the law. It doesn't bother ne." DAVID COSLETT of Dow Chemical Company was talking about business. Dow holds the military contract for the pro- duction of napalm. Napalm is a mixture of polystyrene, gasoline and other organic chemicals used in making incendiary bombs. Incendiary bombs have killed and maimed tens of thousands of Viet- namese people, many of themdinnocent villagers, blackening them in scorching pain. Said Coslett: "We will continue to make napalm even though we are losing money by doing so. We make it as a matter of principle." DR. ROBERT PROPHATER, president of Bay City's city commission, was relaxing after a recent controversial campaign. He had helped lead a fight against a proposed municipal swim- ming pool "because Bay City already has a beach at her door- -step." The proposal was subsequently defeated. Announced the commissioner: "I've just surprised my family with some good news. I'm going to build a heated indoor pool for them." CHARLES DeGAULLE of France championed a self-made crusade to nationalize Quebec last fall, against the wishes of a high majority of its citizens. Now that he's back in France, DeGaulle has been looking at other problems, specifically the recent gold crisis. Said DeGaulle: "The United States is going to learn to stay out of other countries' business and not try to export its monetary system jall over the world." BOB CERV, a former vagabond outfielder in the majors, was discussing Dick'Williams. An ex-teammate of Cerv's, Wil- liams is now manager of the Boston Red Sox, who won the American League pennant last season. Williams was named manager of the year for instilling a one-for-all and all-for-one attitude. Commented Cerv: "All I can think of is the year we were at Kansas City together. It was late in the season and Dick and I were battling for the team lead in RBI's. He was on second and I hit a single to right. When I looked up, there he was, sliding Into third." THERE'S A moral here somewhere but I don't want to say anything about it, if you know what I mean.
