THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven PaeSee FORMER 'M' CAPTAINS DUAL: Icersb By JOEL GREER Coach John Matchefts, former Michigan hockey star, brings his Colorado College hockey squad in- to Ann Arbor trying to break a, four-game WCHA losing streak. The Tigers looking for their first league victory of the 1969-70 cam- paign have lost all four meetings' with Minnesota. Overall Colorado is 2-5-1 with its only victories coming at the hands of Air Force. Talking about the Tiger attack Coach Matchefts expressed, "We have a good nucleus with two lines-All-America center Bob Col- lyard, right wing Cliff Purpur and left wing Casey Ryan making up one and Jerry O'Connor center- ing Wayne Horb at left wing and Bill Baldrica at right wing." Col- lyard, Purpur and Ryan are jun- iors; O'Connor, Horb and Baldrica are sophomores. "We have adequate personnel for a third line in Jim Ahlbrecht, John Campbell, Bruce LaHue, Mike Bertsch, and Gary Osborne," Matchefts added. Campbell and LaHue are senior wings, and Ahl- brecht is a junior wing. Fresh- men Bertsch and Osborne can handle both wing and center posi- tions. However Colorado College h a s nearly become a one-line machine. attle struggling Tigers Purdue's De Moss to replace Mollenkopf Matchefts echoed, "The second and third lines need improvement to give Colorado College victories. ACCORDING TO Matchefts the Tigers' defense has depth, size, and finesse. Senior Bill Allen and junior Bob Langin form one defen- sive duo while the other pair is shared between juniors D a 1 e Yutsyk and Rob Jacobi, and sen- ior Mark Paulson. Defense has been Colorado's big- gest problem. With a 6.7 goals- against average in WCHA play, Matchefts should be disturbed. "We've got to be a good defensive team, and the defense has to be a team," Matchefts declared. Apparently the cohesiveness isn't there as the Tigers have felt crushing defeats by Minnesota: 9-5, 4-2, 8-3 and 6-3. Getting the worst of the deal are the t w o sophomores who are sharing goal- tending duties. THE GOALIES who looked sharp in the Air Force series have not had much help against Min- nesota. They are Doug Bellamy, a product of Edmonton, Alberta; and Doug Schum from Montreal, Quebec. Matchefts, who always apprec- iatesda victory over Michigan, played on Michigan's NCAA championship squads of 1950-51, 1951-52 and 1952-53. Matchefts al- so captained the 1952-53 team. In comparison, Coach Al Ren- frew of Michigan also was a star player for the Maize and Blue, A protege of his ebrother-in-law Vic Heyliger, Renfrew was a stand- out between 1946 and 1949. Ren- frew played on one of the highest scoring lines in Michigan history and also on the Wolverines' first NCAA championship squad in 1948. Like Matchefts, Renfrew was the 1948-49 Michigan captain. THE MICHIGAN situation to this point in the season is one of inconsistancy. The icers' four LAFAYETTE, Ind. (W) - Bob DeMoss veteran assistant football coach noted f o r developing su-' perb quarterbacks was named head coach yesterday at Purdue1 University replacing the retiring Jack Mollenkopf. "Everything will be much the same for the moment - the re- cruiting areas the coaching areas' and the style of play DeMoss said' after he was tapped by Guy "Red" Mackey Purdue athletic director. , Purdue which has lost no more than two games in each of the last five seasons hopes to keep its football staff intact except f o r Mollenkopf who stepped down Wednesday because of h i s ap- proaching 65th birthday, the mandatory retirement age. The retiring coach has insisted for years that DeMoss and other assistants have been doing the ac- tual coaching while Mollenkopf presided at planning sessions. "I sincerely hope the staff will remain intact DeMoss said. "Per- sonally I plan to spend most of my coaching time with the quar- terbacks as I have done. I plan to recruit as vigorously as ever. DeMoss a four-year Purdue passing ace in 1945-48 polished such noted Boilermaker quarter- backs as Mike Phipps, Bob Griese, Ron Digravie and Bernie Allen. DeMoss has been abig man on the Purdue campus s i n c e as a freshman quarterback in 1945 he engineered a 35-12 upset of an Ohio State team ranked No. 1 in the nation. In his four yeai ca- reer he completed 191 passes for 2759 yards. He played in the first North South game in Miami in 1948 and in the 1949 Hula Bowl game. DeMoss joined t h e coaching staff in 1955.

The Wolverines have divided four games with North , Dakota, shared a pair of WCHA contests with Michigan State, and battled Wisconsin to an even ser- ies. Renfrew discussed the problem. "Nobody has done extremely well. We've either played pretty well as a team or pretty bad." Renfrew rioted that due to the holiday season the team is work- ing longer this week and is con- centrating on positional play. Bet- ter coordination between the for- wards and the defense has also been stressed. The icers need a series sweep to get them on the winning track going into the second half of the season. Overall Michigan has com- piled a 7-6 record with non-con- ference wins over Ohio State,] Minnesota, and Yale. NBA COOL R NEW YORK (IP) - With the continuation of an expensive bid- ding war still facing the two rival professional basketball leagues the prospects for a merger brightened yesterday with another peace of- fering by the American Basket- ball Association. Jack Dolph the new commis- sioner of the ABA who was not around when the first merger talks fell through last August con- firmed that he has asked Com- missioner Walter Kennedy of the National Basketball Association to resume talks, Name Address line 1 line 2 rR R 3 THERE ARE 5 WORDS PER LINE ABA hints merger possibility 22.99 Ladies' & Men's Houston 14" tall SCHNEIDER WESTERN SUPPLY 2635 Saline Rood, Ann Arbor, Mich Ph. 663-011 1 I 11 at THE HOUSE 1429 Hill Street Saturday, January 10 J 8 P.M. ALL WELCOME "We believe there is sentiment in the NBA to discuss a merger. Dolph said after his own league's owners had met in New York Wed- nesday. Standing in the way are two major points: 1. The ABA's Washington D.C. franchise which the NBA feels in-j fringes on the territory of its Baltimore team.j 2. The three-year-old ABA's an-' ti trust suit against the elder andl more established NBA. "Basically they the NBA have given us an ultimatum about what we must do before they would even talk about a merger, Dolph said. While he emphasized that he was not planning on getting rid of the Washington franchise-"I have 11 teams to look after, not 1"-he did offer some hope for agreement. "The move of the franchise from Oakland to Washington this year was given as one of the reasons a merger failed last time," he said, "but my understanding was that meeting deteriorated before the move came up. "But I believe the problem can be discussed and a way found to solve it that would be satisfactory to the ABA and Earl Foreman, Washington's owner. As for the anti-trust suit Dolph also could see "an area of com- promise. "They are asking we suspend the suit, Dolph continued, "and I told Kennedy we have room to move on the case. I think the suit is something we can put off for a certain period of time. "'I can understand their position of not wanting to make war while trying to negotiate a peace, but we must protect ourselves in case there is no merger. We can't com- pletely drop everything. "If there is no merger we might be separate, but we will be eual," he said, looking toward the col- lege player draft next ,spring when the ABA would be bidding against the NBA for college stars. That bidding war started in earnest last year when the t w o leagues each offered three time UCLA All American Lew Alcindor more than $1 million. Alcindor ul- timately chose the NBA. " bidding war will cost mil- lions," Dolph said and he used as an example the dollar battle between the American and Na- tional football leagues before their merger. "I have always felt the econo- mic situation will dictate some ac- commodation between the leagues, Dolph said. As for the NBA "the ABA knows what must be done to re- open negotiations, Kennedy said.- "If they are interested I expect to hear from them." is ULRICH'S Ann Arbor's busiest b okstore THERE must be a GOOD Reason- i ®. i IE I BOOKSTORE YPSILANTI This new store carries more trade (non-text) books than any other in the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area.
