I THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Icers By ELLIOTT BERRY Its Winter Weekend in Hough- ton, Michigan! ' This weekend brings t h e an- nual winter t h a w at Michigan1 Tech as the normally subdued, conservative, and thoroughly froz- en campus rears its head above the ice and snow and cuts loose in an arctic version of the Mardi Gras. The activities of t h e festive weekend usually include a double; drubbing of the Huskie icers' weekend foes. At Michigan Tech it is the icers not the gridders who are the pride of the campus sports enthusiasts and they seldom fail to accom- f modate the boistrous student body with a pair of victories on this' most festive odcasion. This weekend the Huskies' op- position happens to be Michigan, who in recent years have b e e n their only obstacle to Tech's claim of being the strongest collegiate * hockey power in the state of Michigan. Last season the Wolverines were home to defend a ten game win streak when they met the Huskies who were also in the thick of the championship race. Then the Huskies'did what few teams have been able to do and swept the series on Coleseum ice, knocking Michigan out of the race for the top spot in the WCHA. This season the Wolverines go into the contest free of the pres- sure of being a first place conten- der, with only third place at stake. The biggest incentive for the Wolverines tonight and tomor- row night may be to play spoiler and knock Tech out of the race for first place. Tech is presently 7-4-1 and in tiird place behind North Dakota ahd Denver. A split with Michi- gan would put the Huskies on the verge of elimination and a iMch- igan sweep, however unlikely would make it "wait for the play- offs" as it already is for the Wol- verines. A Wosverine sweep would also shoot Michigan right past Tech into third place. But Wolverine mentor Al Renfrew wasn't over- ly optimistic about the chances of such a' sweep, noting, "it's tough to talk about a sweep in Hough- ton, Tech is rough any time but they are especially murderous on ! home ice," fNevertheless, the Wolverines are coming off of what was probably their finest performance of t h e season, last Saturday's 5-0 white- washing of Minnesota, and Ren- frew is hoping that the Wolver- ines are finally untracked. Indeed not only was the game encouraging for the defense and weary netminder Jim Keough, who registered their first shut- out of the season, but the series also had some very encouraging aspects for the offense. In last week's series the Wolverine scor- ing attack was more balanced than in any series this season. The eight goals tallied by Wol- verines were countered by seven different players. Only Doug Glen- denning, a new name in the scor- ing column, tallied twice. With Glendenning, Brian Slack, and Barney Pashak coming on in the r last weeks all three Wolverine hope to hustle Huskies Ryun leads star-studded troupe Ito S rtanvlle relay spectacle sprts NIGHT EDITOR: PAT ATKINS Gb lines are becoming genuine scor- ing threats. Michigan Tech is unlikely to be in a party mood in spite of the weekend festival. After a hard earned split at Denver, where vis- itors victories' over the past' two years can be counted on two fing- ers, the Huskies were than upset Monday night by seventh place Colorado College. Anchored by a stingy defense and a superb goaltender, Gordon McRae, the Huskies have. allowed opponents only 2.6 goals per game, a figure only Denver can top. The Huskie offense is one of the most balanced in the league, led by last year's team scoring leader Al Karlander and linemate Ed Shillington who were especial- ly effective against Michigan last season. If the two arch rivals stay away from the festivities and the par- ties they should put on quite a couple of fine shows themselves.

NCAA REMATCH: Tankers gao south to sink SMU Teammate George Byers is also a defending champion in the 70- yard low hurdles, and has a chance to break his record of :07.7. KU's Karl Saib could de- molish the shfot put mark of 60'- 11 4", having put the shot 63'- 9" just last Saturday. The Jayhawk's Stan Whitley is another possible record-breaker in the long jump, with a 25'-4%2" mark already this season, well ahead of the Relays standard of 24'-29 2". And still another Kansan, Ken Gaines, could set an impressive {mark in the triple jump with his ability' to surpass 50 feet. Kansas does not have all the potential record-breakers. Indiana sophomore, Gary Haupert, is a good bet to erase the record of 6-9 in the- high jump. He has already cleared 7-01. The 60-yard dash will probably be the feature event of the meet. Michigan State . freshman, Herb Washington, has been unbeatable in the distance so far this season. He has twice equaled the Jenison Field House mark of :06.1. But he will have some tough competition this week from In- diana sophomores Larry High- baugh and Mike Goodrich, West- ern Michigan's Tom Randolph, Eastern's Gene Thomas, Michigan freshman, Gene Brown, and de- fending champion and record- holder Bill Hurd of Notre Dame. Randolph and Hurd also could smash the record of :304 in the last week, but as Assistant Coach Ken Burnley commented, "we stress conditioning at Michigan. We try to keep our boys progress- ing so that when the speed really counts, they will be able to stand up to the competition." Wolverine sprinter, Sol Espie, will notcompete, in the sprint medley relay squad this week even though he turned in a tre- mendous sprint of :21.9 last week in his 220-yard leg. Ken Davey, who placed last week, will not be able to run in the 300 becauseof the single competitor limit for the field. Michigan is not risking any in- juries or stress In the early'sea- son. It is the conference title they want, and that will be decided in three weeks at Illinois. In order to win the title, they are using the early meets to experiment and test their runners. JIM RYUN Eastern has already posted a 9:59 this season. Michigan's best is 10:01.2. The Wolverine's champion two mile relay squad, featuring Olym- pian Ron Kutchinski, will collide By MORT NOVECK it The Michigan swim team is looking for trouble. Instead of being content with competition in the 'Midwest, the Wolverines have gone south to Dallas to meet the Mustangs of Southern Methodist tonight. SMU, finishing fifth at last year's NCAA championship - a notch ahead of Michigan-have won 67 dual meets in a row. At last year's Southwest Conference' Cham~pionships the Mus t.a ng s scored almost twice as many. points as 'their nearest rival, tak- ing first place in 14 of 18 events. Michigan is the best team SMU has ever faced in a dual meet and the Mustangs are looking forward to. tonight's contest. According to reports from the Oklahoma swimming coach, whose team was defeated by SM'U last, week, the Mustangs are reaching a high state of excitement in an- ticipation of tonight's contest. As SMU's swimming coach Red Barr summed it up, "We have never met a team with as much depth and with as many individ- ual stars as Michigan. We are! looking forward to the competi- tion they will offer us." Competition is the reason for tonight's meet. Both schools face a lack of competition in their re- spective conferences. According to Michigan Coach Gus Stager, "They need competition and we l need it.
