The defeat in their last regular season encounter ended the Bruins' 41 game winning streak. The Trojans also took their archrivals to double overtime on Friday before dropping a 61-55 decision. By ERIC SIEGEL area of Wines Field in addition to Daily Sports Analysis -parking on a paved surface of the The use of Wines Field as a parking area during this past: weekend's hockey games stirred the continuing controversy be- tween the Michigan Sports Club Association and the athletic de- partment concerning the facilities for intramural and club sports activities. The controversy, which has al- ternately submerged and surfaced over the years like a giant whale, now seems firmly mired in a ser- ies of allegations and counter-al- legations.I In the latest development in! 1what appears to be an almost ir- reconciliable controversy, club. sports President Bob Gillon charg- ed that athletic 'department per- spnnel directed approximately thirty cars, at one dollar per ve- hicle, to park on a grass playing field.v "Wines was meant to be used for intramural and club sports activities, and not parking," Gillon 'commented. "Besides, the field was already in very bad condition and driving 'and parking cars on it only makes the playing condition worse" he added. Athletic Director Don Canham, however, has a different opinion of the effect of the parked cars on the field. "The cars were parked on the grass," Canham stated, "but they were not on the actual playing area," If the concern over the use of. an athletic field as a parking lot was the only concern involved in the dispute, reconciliation would be difficult enough, with the main question being who should receive the proceeds from the parking- club sports and iiitramurals, for whom the field was designed; or the athletic department, who has , had the responsibility for main- tenance of the field. But, as Gillon said, in the one statement on which both parties seem to agree, "The parking issue is only one part of a larger pic- ture." The larger picture is a collage of intertwining questions concern- ing prioritips, playing conditions, and pragmatism. According to Gillon, the rugby, 'lacrosse, and intramural teams de- serve a "decent field" to play and practice on this spring. Since, in his estimation, Wines is "com- pletely inadequate and unplay- able," these teams should be grant- - ed the right to hold' their scrim- mages on one of the football prac- tice fields. Canham, however, also took is- sue with these positions. E "In the first place," he explain- 'iaitimore ed, "Wines is vastly improved over Philadelphia two years ago, when the teams Boston were playing on a virtual rock- Cincinnati pile."
