Patronize Our Advertisers -- 71' Icers Frozen in Dakota Deep By GRAYLE HOWLETT "Dakota" is an old Indian word which means "allies," but the rugged Sioux icers of North Da- kota were far from friendly as they handed the Michigan puck- men 6-4 and 7-4 losses last week- end, halting the Blue's win streak at five. Michigan didn't exactly receive a "warm" welcome either, as the temperature dipped to 21 degrees below zero on Friday night and 25 below on Saturday night IN- SIDE the unheated North Dakota rink. Most of the players refused, however, to cite the bitter cold as a reason for the dual loss, prefer- ring to give all the credit to the Nodaks. Great Hockey Weather "No, I wouldn't say that the freezing weather was a factor," commented Coach Al .Renfrew. "North Dakota just has a real, good hockey team." Still the frost- bite conditions were a major topic of _conversation. Captain Mel Wakabayashi stat- ed, "Sure, it is hard to adjust, but you can't blame it on the weather. They had to play under the same conditions. I still can't believe how all those fans could sit through the game." While the spectators were try- ing every conceivable way to keep warm-from huddling up tight to raiding their hip flasks, Michigan and North Dakota were chasing pucks up and down the ice. Both games were high scoring affairs and closer than the scores might indicate. Each time it was a dis- asterous third period which proved fatal to the Wolverines. Freeze This weekend Michigan will have at least one thing going for them-home, a word which means a heated rink. both games," said Renfrew, "but then they would score a couple quick ones on breakaways." Soph- omore goalie Harold Herman, who made some brilliant saves on blank shots, could only add, "we let down in the third period and they really started to put the pressure on." It was not a totally lost week- end as the "kid-line" of Mike and Lee Marttila and Bruce Koviak showed signs of coming of age. Koviak scored seven points in all, getting two goals and an assist in Friday's game and collecting one assist and a hat trick in Satur- day's finale. 'Kid Koviak' In the first game, Koviak's goals rallied the Blue from a 4-2 deficit into a tie, and, in the second, his three goal effort kept the puckmen within striking distance until the fated final period. If losing two in row in the frigid north, plus getting nosed out of second place isn't enough, there's always the news that lash year's conference scoring leader, Waka- bayashi, scored only one point the entire series. While Mel was fail- ing to add to his personal total, the Nodaks' Terry Casey and Den- nis Mexstall intensified their chal- lenge for Mel's crown with im- pressive performances that netted them several points apiece. Also in the negative column, Michigan's Bob Ferguson was handed a one game suspension for his extra curricular activity in a I "We're still in excellent shape," 20 minute brawl which preceded admitted Renfrew, "and we'll be the third period of Saturday's ready to go Friday.

"We had the chances early in Win Skein Einds for Wrestlers By JOHN SUTKUS The old adage that all good things must come to an end has been proven true again. This time it was an especially good thing that came to a screech- ing halt. Last Friday night the wrestlers of Minnesota put an end to Michigan's string of dual meet wrestling victories. Before a pack- ed house of Wolverine fans the Gophers allowed the Michigan matmen only the first and last matches and swept every other contest to complete the deed. not mean the whole season was* gone. "What we lost in this meet we intend to make up with hard work and dedication." He indicat- ed extra stress on wrestling fun- damentals. Meanwhile, Gopher coach Wally Johnson was very pleased with his team's victory. But he qualified his satisfaction. "Actually the meet could have gone either way. We had a couple' of boys hurt, they had a couple of key boys hurt. It will be a different story when the Big Ten championships come around." To be sure, Minnesota came to town with more than a kiss and a prayer. In advance Coach Cliff Keen had anticipated a tough meet. He labeled-the Gopher squad "top n o t c h." And Minnesota proved to be just that, as they handed the Wolverines an 18-8 loss. 'They Were Better' "They were the better team on, that day," commented assistant coach Dennis Fitzgerald. But he emphasized that this one meet did No One Match Though many Wolverine fans may think different, there was no one match that decided the meet. "I True, Bill Johannesen's last- minute loss to Terry Barett seemed to have an effect on the team. But as Fitzgerald pointed out, such a match usually has the opposite effect. "A team will get fired up and win." Cal Jenkins' match started off with a bang as he was lifted up and slammed to the mat. He hit so hard that Coach Keen stopped the match to check him. Jenkins was all right and continued the contest. "The slam stunned him in the beginning, but it didn't cause him to lose the match," added Fitzgerald. The only bright spots of 'the night were the 123 pound and heavyweight matches. In the 123- pound contest, Dave Fehrs started the night off right for the Wol- verines by completely outwrestling his Gopher opponent. He won handily, 11-3. Heavyweight Dave Porter end- ed the meet on a happy note by pinning Minnesota's Jon Staebler in 6:25. In between was disastei'. Waterman vs. Anderson A typical example was the 167- pound match between Michigan's Bill Waterman and Ted Anderson. Waterman took an early lead on a reversal. He moved Anderson around well and began to pull the Gopher over for the pin. As he did so he became just a little careless and was himself reversed. Ander- son scored a near pin and event- ually won the match, 8-5. Water- man made several game tries at a comeback, but all fell short. The dual meet win streak is history now. Perhaps it is better that it has ended, for with it has departed the unseen pressure that such a skein can cause. When the Big Ten wrestling championships come around, dual meet scores will mean nothing. ELECTRONIC DESK TOP CALCULATOR{ By GRETCHEN TWIETMEYER Michigan did better than they had expected against State Friday night, and coach Gus Stager was well satisfied with his 70-53 vic- tory. "Actually," said Stager, "there were only two trouble spots and Stheyboth occurred early in the meet." The first was the 1000-yd. free- style, where Carl Robie and Bill Farley were supposed to take one- two honors. Farley had been sick, and placed third behind State's Ed Glick. The other disappointment came two events later in the 200-yd. freestyle when Jim MacMillan beat Bob Hoag by three-tenths of a second. Key Events Two events decided the meet. John Vry, a junior, beat out team- mate Ken Wiebec in the 200-yd. individual medley by .01 second, which would have registered as a tie using hand-timing methods. Commented the surprised and very pleased Stager, "Vry did a very fine job." The event that really iced the meet was the 100-yd. freestyle, with first and second place going to Bob Haag and Bill Groft. Groft had already won the 50-yd. free- style and Hoag took second in the 200-yd. freestyle.: And after that, the meet was pretty well wrapped up. One of the major causes of vic- tory was Bruce Brown, who won both the one and three meter div- ing events, with the awesome score of 345.4 for three meters. No eulogizing adjectives are really necessary. Words Fail Similarly, what do you say about a guy like Carl Robie, who won the 1000-yd. freestyle and 2'00-yd. butterfly? "You just ex- pect him to win and he consis- tently does," says Stager. Although the only pool record was set by State's Gary Dilley in the backstroke, Coach Stager was quite satisfied with the times. Al- most all of them bettered their Indiana meet counterparts by about a second. In the MSU meet, Michigan re- peated a trick used by Indiana, i.e., swimming the best man in a lane apart from that of the best State swimmer. But there is a dif- ference between Michigan's strat- egy and Indiana's, who kept their best man in an off-lane in order to slow down our times. Stager figured that Robie and Paul Scheerer, who swam in off lanes, would win anyway, so he put men in the middle who would benefit by the competition. Triangular Next This Saturday the natators will swim a dual meet with Purdue in the afternoon, and triangular meet with OSU and MSU at night. Stager is glad of the chance to compete in the triangular meet in addition to the regular one be- cause he wants to give the Wol- verines as much home experience as possible. Besides a comedy diving inter- lude, by Michigan's three diving coaches, five new events will be added in the triangular. This will give practice in them before the championships. According to Stag- er, the meet ought to be pretty good.

Telephone 761-0080. 1' By The Associated Press NEW YORK-Ken Bayer, seven- time All-Star third baseman and the National League's Most Valu- able Player two years ago, signed his 1966 contract yesterday with the New York Mets. The 35-year-old infielder, ac- quired from St. Louis last October after a poor season with the Cardinals, becomes the highest- paid player for baseball's least successful -team-with a salary es- timated at $65,000. George Weiss, president of the Mets, said "Despite his disap- pointing season Boyer will receive the same salary he got in St. Louis. I don't believe a player of his caliber should be cut after one poor year. "We came to terms quickly- after one five-minute conversa- tion." In St. Louis, where he still makes his home, Boyer said he was "very pleased with the con- tract." After playing a leading role in the Cards' pennant-winning drive in 1964, starring in the World Series triumph over the New York Yankees, and being named MVP, bothered by a bad back and hit only .260, with 13 homers and 75 runs batted in. In 10 previous major league seasons, Boyer had compiled a .296 batting mark with an average of 24 homers and 93 RBI. He batted .295 in 1964, hitting 24 homers and knocking in 119 runs. His highest average for the Cards was .329, in 1961. In the Cardinals' sweeping player turnover after last season, Boyer was dealt to the Mets for left-handed pitcher Al Jackson and third baseman Charlie Smith. Boyer said he had been kicked below the left knee by one of his horses recently, adding, "I needed eight stitches but it doesn't bother me. It won't hurt my playing. "I'm in pretty good, shape, and really looking forward to the sea- son. Boyer has been working out with other baseball players in the area in regular training sessions at the St. Louis University gym, The Mets, who. navefinished last in all four seasons they've been in the National League, also announced the signing of outfield- er Cleon Jones and pitcher Jerry 40 HAIRSTYLING TO PLEASE ! at Dascola Barbers (near Michigan Theatre) and U-M Barbers N.
