By The Associated Press DETROIT - The resurgent De- troit Red Wings posted their sixth consecutive victory last night as they outlasted the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 in a National Hoc- key League Game that varied from 2:44 to give the Wings a 3-2 lead4 they held the rest of the way. ta BOSTON --Ken Hodge fired his 19th and 20th goals in sparking the Boston Bruins to their fourthI consecutive victory in a 5-1 deci- time. turning back 25 Philadelphia shots on goal.

Smashing home goals at the furious rate of 1.9 per game (Michigan leads the league scor- ing at a five goal rate) the Tigers can offensively be classified as the Detroit Lions of Hockey. To give the offense more punch, Coach John Matchefts, who play- ed his collegiate hockey in ie olde (very olde) Colesium, has re- organized his lines to give them more of what has been described as "balance.' their less than average teammates on to better play. Centering the top scoring Tiger line is sophomore Bob Collyard. Collyard has collected 26 points in 13 games and scored eight goals in WCHA play. The other two lines are rebuilt around wings John Amundsen and Jim Albrecht. The saving grace of the Detroit' Lions was their defense, but the Tigers are even worse off in their own end of the rink as an average six tallies per contest manage to apoplexy-- doug beler 21 1 1 ; ....-w J All the blame for the high scor- ing, however, cannot placed upon{ the goal tenders.

All the kids here are pleased to know that you haven't forgotten that the school exists, after all. We were really worried about it for a while, because so few of you come down here any more, even on invitation. Actually, you guys really don't have to worry about activism on this campus. Here I am, working at the supposed center of college activism (the Daily), for most of my college career, and I can confidently report that there isn't much activity in Ann Ar- bor. In fact, most of the activists I know are ineffectual boobs who sleep a lot. Now, let's talk for a moment about the real incidents at Michi- gan. We'll take one example, say the time the black students took over the administration building. Remember that one? I'm sure the Grand Rapids Press or whatever you read played it up real big. Well here I was, anyway, just getting out of my classes, and I walked over to the Daily and someone said, "Say, did you hear some black students took over the administration building?" And I said no, I didn't and asked what else happened. He said "Oh, they already left," so I said nuts because I missed another rare incident of acti- vism, The next day, all the people who read the Daily noticed somej black students had taken over the administration building and then went to their classes. Later, Michigan hired a black coach or two. And the movement ended. Big deal. You know, the trouble with you fellows is that you don't real- ize this campus is basically a tired old conservative institution because you, the parents of the students here, are tired old con- servatives. Therefore, Berkeley, won't happen here, and Columbia won't happen here. Nothing will happen here, and anybody who thinks otherwise will get awfully bored waiting for the Messiah. Now, as long as we're on the subject of universities, a subject you seldom dwell on, here is the real picture: First of all, four of my five classes are miserably overcrowded and the fifth:is full to the brim. But that's nothing compared to what happened to my roommate the other day, when he went to the first lecture of the semester in one of his courses in an auditorium seating 300 and found '00 students waiting for him.j Does, this remind any of you of the Sorbonne? You know, that's the university in Paris that was the start of all those fan- tastic riots in France last year. Well anyway, that's the place where they allow an unlimited number of people to enroll in any course and then lock the doors when the room is full. If you can't get in, tough. There are also a couple of other minor problems. Like I'm almost afraid to visit a professok in his office for fear of an avalanche of books falling on my head when he opens the door to what is little more than a walk-in closet. It's already happened once, and even though it's not the professor's, fault that he doesn't have enough room, from now on I'm standing out in the hall when I visit an office. While we're at it, the intramural facilities at this school are still a very adequate ;amount for the 12,000 students that were here sev- eral decades ago, but recently people have been known to wait two hours for a paddleball court. In conclusion, I'd like to ask you fellows, if any of you are really coming to investigate activism, to take a look at the actual problems while you are trying to satisfy your imagination.
