Hud Englehart Cagers Playing Second Fiddle to a Building What in the world has happened to Michigan basketball? With all the publicity being vomited all over the place about the new University Events Building, press releases are forgetting that there will be a basketball team playing in the superstructure this season. So, let's talk about the team on this the opening day of the 1967-68 season. The glory days of Michigan basketball are no more. Or at least it seems that way to many Michigan basketball fans. Last year the Wolverines finished dead last in the Big Ten. The sophomores that Head Coach Dave Strack was counting on to at least be in the race for the title, made more than the average number of soph mistakes and it showed. Errant passing, errant shooting, just plain bad basketball typified much of last year's season. Practice sessions last year had a big shadow named "Caz" over them. There was dissention on the team, perhaps because the remain- ing seniors who had been a part of those glory days didn't realize that Cazzie wasn't there any more. What was worse, the sophomores knew that Cazzie wasn't there, and tried too hard to make the fans believe that there were five-Cazzie's on the team instead of just one. It was easy enough to say that it was a new season, that it was time to forget about Cazzie Russell and the mark he left, that the thing that was most important was winning the Big Ten, not the Cazzie of the year award. Sure it was easy enough to say, but to live with it day in and day out was another story. The 1968 version of Michigan basketball looks much the same as the 1967 version personnel-wise except for the addition of Rudy Tomjanovich and the loss of Craig Dill. Dave Strack is still the Head Coach.F But 1968 has carried with it one important difference for the experienced junior team that Strack hopes will be able to put Michigan back where it belongs in Big Ten basketball. Cazzie has been gone for two years now and remnants of his ghost have been scarcely evident in practice. In contrast to last year's practice sessions, there is actually a great deal' of enthusiasm being displayed. Dave Strack has even ad- mitted that the team is much more enthusiastic than it was at this time last season. Anyone can walk into a practice session and find a lot of chatter, a lot of laughter, and perhaps a lot of communication between the players. Believe it or not, Dennis Stewart has even been smiling this year. It's a true pleasure to find that he Is really human after all. Another thing that charges the air these days is desire. No one says it, but everyone knows it's there. Strack has said, "This team is ready to go," and the team isn't about to make a liar out of him. If nothing else this year, Michigan basketball fans will see a team that wants to win-win for Michigan, not themselves. In their desire to win, a great deal of change has been evidenced by a type of play that was totally lacking on last year's team, save the Michigan State game. It was not uncommon during the course of the 1967 season to see one of the young sophomores trying to make the big play all by himself. The word, and the act of passing was almost taboo. The 1968 season and the realization of just how poorly the team did last year has made players like Stewart, Jim Pitts, Ken Maxey, and particularly Bob Sullivan remember that passing is a big a part of the game as shooting. Michigan fans can probably expect to see the good shot being taken more often this season. This is because all of a sudden the whole team is almost more concerned with making a good pass than with making the spectacular shot that makes charges of idiocy run rampant through the stands if it is missed. But with all the concern for passing, none of the players on the team seems to have lost his touch for shooting. As a matter of fact, the team as a whole has been shooting much better than they were a year ago. It all makes sense because any team with the potential talent of the '68 Wolverines will shoot better if the shots taken, are taken in the clear. Any good basketball players will admit that the most important part of being a good shooter is the split second that leaves him in the clear to execute the shot properly. That split second is given to the shooter by his own ability to work against his opponent or the ability of his teammates to hit him with crisp pass when he is in the open. The whole process involves teamwork. Teamwork involves a closely knit bond of communication between the players. The players don't have to be the best of friends to have a high degree of communication, but they do have to have respect for each other and each other's abilities. The bond is there for the Wolverines-they all want desper- ately to win. And maybe, just maybe, the 168 Wolverines have found the respect for each other that was disastrously lacking last year. Whether they have or not, no one knows, yet. Perhaps Baron Von Rupp and his Kentucky Wildcats can supply an answer. Renfrew's leers By DAVE WEIR It started out like any other normal between-period re-sur- facing routine. But this time, the Ice Machine ran out of gas just as it reached the blue line. Somehow, this little episode which occurred after the first period of last night's hockey game seemed to symbolize per- fectly the efforts of Waterloo Lutheran's pucksters as they dropped a 4-0 decision to Michi- gan's undefeated Wolverines. The visiting Hawks just couldn't seem to get their offense moving against the quicker and more experienced Michigan squad. The Wolverines dominated the game from start to finish, outshooting Waterloo, 47-18. Sophomore Sensatons Led by sophomore sensations Dave Perrin and Barney Pashak, who scored two goals each, Mich- igan kept the puck in Waterloo's end of the rink most of the night to insure junior netminder Jim Keough's first shutout of the season. Perrin led off the scoring at 4:10 of the first period back- hand pass from Don Deeks by Hawk goalie Ken Payne. There was no more scoring in Wayla The score was Perrin's eighth in Michigan's first three games this year. Play for the rest of the period was slow, as neither team could mount an attack until the last three minutes. Then, with 2:12 left, Wolverine junior Doug Gal- braith blasted a shot which sent Payne to the ice on a sliding save. Pashak then slipped the re- bound into the open net for his first goal of the night, and Mich- igan went to the dressing room with a 3-0 lead. Pashak Michigan completed its scoring midway through the final period, with the honors once again going to Pashak. This time the sophomore for- ward took a pass from Ron Ullyot and sent Payne to his knees with a bullet shot.t Pashak then picked up his own rebound and rammed the puck home over the netminder's out- stretched body. Soon after this, violence erupt- ed in theWaterloo end of the ice, ed in the Waterloo end of the ice, locker rooms for fighting. Bruce Koviak and Paul Domm of Michigan, and Bob McMullen and Ian Lightfoot of Waterloo, all received five minute penalties as a result of the scuffle. Keough to Payne During the confusion of deter- mining penalty-box seat allot- ment following these infractions, goalies Keough and Payne amused themselves by passing the puck up and down the ice. Before the end of the match, three more penalties had been called, filling the 'jail' to capacity Waterloo FIRST PERIOD SCORING: M - Perrin (Deeks) 4:10. Penalties - M - lord (Interference) 5:50.

Michigan Coach Al Renfrew praised the work of both goalies after the game, but was not overly-satisfied with his squad's offensive play. "We took a lot of shots on goal," he noted, "But we didn't put the puck in very well. Waterloo was quite tough in front of their own net." Potenial Waterloo Coach Ted Maki said, "We played up to our potential, but we're a young and unexper- ienced team." (All but four of the Hawk players are freshmen.) The loss dropped Waterloo's rec- ord to 3-3-13on the season. Mich- igan is now 3-0. The same two teams play to- night at the Colesium at 8:00.

This faintly familiar motto be- longs to the Michigan girl's swim- ming team as they travel to Wayne State today to compete in the biggest girl's invitational meet in the country. For the past six years the Wol- verine girls have come home with the title, and hope to bring home number seven tonight. The entrees, both individual and schools, are expected to ex- ceed last year's total of 22 and represent such places as North Carolina, New Jersey, and Arizona. According to Lynn Allison, team captain, the stiffest competition is expected to come from Kent State, a perennial rival, and Central Michigan. Two weeks ago today, in the All- Michigan Meet at Adrian (six schools), Michigan just edged out Central, 112-106 for the title: Girls like breaststroker Joanna Cook, freestyler Mary Bennette and diver Lannie Loken (gym- nastic coach Newt Loken's daugh- ter), will hold up the individual events for Michigan. However, the team's strength is in the five relay events. "We're stacked to the hilt in the 400 freestyle relay," said Miss Allison. Perrin snatched up another Deeks' pass with eleven minutes left and skated in on Payne, only to have his shot stopped at point- blank range by the Waterloo goal- tender. Then, with less than three min- utes remaining, Deeks fed Perrin puck inches short of the line after Perrin lost control. The second Wolverine goal came after only a minute and a half of the second period when Perrin took a Paul Domm pass and drilled a fifteen-footer past Payne into the open corner of the net. Board Appropriates Money for Yost Dirt ' -_, ' w. ; t 'i M ,' l rr,.. ., L, 'i f I'? , *~ 7 '; .i c | NBA Standings The Board in Control of Inter- collegiate Athletics last night ap- propriated $35,000 for the sur- facing of the dirt interior of Yost Fieldhouse. The new surface, due to be in- stalled by the winter semester this year, will consists of an asphalt base covered with a new rubber compound recently developed by U.S. Rubber. The surface will be available for use by the Intramural Department for basketball and in- door tennis. Indoor varsity track meets will also be held on the new surface. The facilities will be adequate for every type of indoor intercollegiate track meet with the exception of the NCAA finals. The finals require an extra two lanes which will not be installed due to spatial limita- tions. In other board action, William Black was appointed to the newly created post of building supervisor for the new University Events Building. Black has been active in the building's construction since its inception. Contributions in the form of pledges for the $7.4 million struc- ture which will open this after- noon were announced as totaling $152,418.13 with $69,398.13 already received.
