Hockey coach Al Renfrew has decided to switch Tom to offense on a line with Ron Ullyot andf Dean Lucier. Schiller, a twenty-one year old junior, has been playing almost exclusively on defense so far this season, but an excellent hockey background suggests that he is capable of making the shift in position. Tom started playing hockey at the age of nine in his hometown of Riverside, Ontario, near Wind- sor. His first organized hockey competition came in the River- side Minor Hockey Association when he was twelve. He moved up through its various divisions for the next five years, playing on the Assumption High hockey team while in high school. He played center up until his last year when he was moved to de- fense. All five years he was select- ed to the Riverside All Star team. Uncle's Advice Tom's decision to attend Michi- gan was greatly influenced by his 'Uncle Bob' Schiller who was one of the Wolverine's all-time great defensemen. Last year, as a sophomore, Tom' alternated positions; sometimes playing on defense and also see- ing action as a wing. This season, most of his ice time has been spent performing the important function of penalty killer. But Coach Renfrew decided to switch him to right wing on the Ullyot-Lucier line because, "he has definitely earned a chance to play regularly. Tom has worked hard and has shown a lot of hustle and desire, therefore he merits this chance to play on an offensive improving," he notes. line." Helpful Hint Skate and Shootf Renfrew continued, "He has demonstrated excellent skating and shooting ability in his recent play. Also, his attitude is better than before. He doesn't get down on himself as much when he makes mistakes this year." Although he enjoys playing de- fense, Tom is very happy for the chance to move to offensive wing. "It's great to play with two guys like Ron and Dean who really know their hockey. It might be hard at first for me to make the change, but I'm confident that we can work well together." He cites "constructive criticism" as an important part of the re- lationship between players. "There is a definite advantage in having teammates who are serious about "When you make a mistake, they let you know about it in a. helpful sort of way.

He is looking forward to this weekend's home series with Min- nesota, as is the whole team. Coach Renfrew's idea of "fire-up men"-several players who are appointed to instill spirit into the team-is lifting the team after last weekend's disastrous MSU series. Welcome Mats During yesterday's practice ses- sion, all the players sported hel- mets with the message such as "Kill Minnesota" or "Hustle pays off" taped on the back. This idea originated with one of the week's fire-up men, Barry MacDonald. Tom's message read "Live up to your uncle-Hustle." That's ex- actly what he intends to do as he attempts to become a member of one of the regular three offensive lines. By CLARK NORTON Now approaching the toughest part of the schedule, Michigan's wrestlers regard last weekend's victorious meets as past history- history that's nice to remember but not sufficient enough to rest their laurels upon. The Wolverines thoroughly and systematically demolished Illinois' mat squad in Yost Field House on Friday afternoon, 30-0, and then proceeded to humble Pittsburgh's Panthers 28-3 at the same site on Saturday. But Coach Cliff Keen does not want to overemphasize the impor- tance of the two drubbings, "We should see the squad against tougher opposition to be able to truly judge its talent," he warned. "We performed well last weekend, and I feel we're making good pro- gress, considering the inexperience we had at many positions going into this season." Illinois and Pittsburgh, however, would probably consider Keen overly modest. To their foes, Mich- igan must have resembled a com- posite of Dick the Bruiser, Lou Thesz and Wilbur Snyder-all on their better days. Michigan had such a good day against Illinois By DAN OKRENT "It's a good place to be if you enjoy watching people. You're there, almost part of things, but still detached, not actually being a member of the team." So speaks John Phillips, mana- ger of Michigan's league-leading cage quintet, speaking of what he feels to be the primary benefit of his job. "I observe," he goes on, "'trying my best not be noticed. It's not that I'm violating any rules of secrecy, it's just that I know I'm doing my best when no one is even aware that I'm around." "John is a hard-working, dedi- cated manager, a model of the efficiency necessary for a team manager," enthuses Coach Dave Strack, Phillips' boss for the past three years. "I'd most like to say that he has done an excellent job." The Job Of course, such high-minded, modest self appraisal, and such determined praise are all fine and good. But what is it that a mana- ger does that John Phillips does so well? To be sure, what is it that a manager does at all? We all remember those days in high school when a friend (if not oneself) accepted the post of athletic manager for one of the teams. "Well," he (or we) would say, "I really likesports and the bench is' the best seat in the house," or "The team is a great bunch of guys, and I really like to Wichita Tops Loyola WICHITA, Jan.

Surely, the speaker would have been more truthful had he said, "Well, I didn't make the team and I still wanted the letter sweater." In either case, respect for the job was rare; and not many coveted it. But the job changes when you go big time. ... And Water Boy "Most precisely, John is the team's equipment manager, chief statistician, bill-payer, itinerary- straightener, and road manager," states Strack. And if this "precise- ness" is still too sketchy, John definitively adds "water boy" to the list of his many duties. Sitting beneath a panorama of 33 different hotel keys from hostelries all over the nation, collected on the innumerable road trips he has made all over the country with the team, John elab- orates a bit more specifically on his duties. "At home games, I score for the freshman matches, make sure the players are on time, take care of the equipment, p r o v i d e thirst-quenching and sweat-drying 'services during the game, handle the players' tickets, and I watch." On the road? "I secure reserva- tions, get airplane tickets, charter buses, pay food and hotel bills, arrange practices, steal hotel keys, and I watch." Still Watching All this and practices, too, at which he repeats the applicable duties, and watches some more. ; Chief Manager Phillips calls himself "an irrespressible basket- ball fan, and I never tire of watch- ing the guys play. In four years I've seen practically every All- American in the country, and I've loved every minute." He adds, "I am also continually interested in the personality un- dercurrents and intrigues in which the team has been involved." And while he refuses to elaborate "for obvious reasons," John indicates that he more than relishes his inside view of the personal byplay that occurs on the team. In fact, the change in this al- most common team-and-coach splitting disease is why John feels, despite their record to date that this year's Wolverines are the best he's seen in his four-year stint on the bench (a stay that goes back to Bill Buntin's sophomore campaign). Tensions Ease "Last year, tensions were ter- rible, not only between the coaches and the players, but among the players themselves. Then, on last summer's State Department tour of Europe and the Near East, something happened. The tensions were nil, and both the coaches and the players loosened up. Fin- ally, after two years for the sen- iors, the coaches and the players became friends." This, says John, caused the cohesiveness for a good basketball team. Phillips is also careful to note that friendly coach-player rela- tions are better for him, too. "When tensions are bad, the coaches get ornery, and don't that had Don Freeman been pres- phasized.

Nice Guys "Of course," he adds, "when tensions are nonexistent, the coaches can be awfully nice. Sit- ting in the front of the plane or the bus with the staff, I can get my ear talked off, being that I'm there to listen, not to comment. But I don't mind. Those coaches can be funny guys." "In a sense," he adds, "I'm an employe, rather than a member of the team. Instead, my relation with the coaches is a teacher- student association-rather than one of friends or colleagues." 'My favorite experience came when I was a sophomore. We had just lost to Purdue on the last] day of the season, even though we had already clinched the con- ference title. Of course, the de- feat dulled the festivities, but when we got to the locker room, there was a matched set of thir- teen golden basketball players on trophy bases, presented by the , alumni to what they referred to as 'the team'-the twelve players andI myself."

Hansen drew the starting as-j signment against the Illini at 167 pounds while Waterman filled that slot during the Pittsburgh meet. Stehman was given his chance when a different weight classifi- cation system was employed Sat- urday, opening up a slot for an extra man to wrestle. But the grapplers probably won't always find things so easy. "We're getting to the tough part TONIGHT The Ravens AT THE SCHWABEN INN 215 S.

Michigan confronted Michigan State for the first time on Satur- day, and although the Spartan: hurdlers were overpowering as ex- pected, the Wolverines came out with impressive showings on the remainder of the program. "They're powerful," Michigan track coach Don Canham said yesterday, speaking of the MSU thinclads. "They've got guys all over the place. "But we are doing all right. We've done it before and we'll do it again,"he added. To merely say that the Wolverines had done it before was an understatement, as Canham's squads in the last decade have amassed a remarkable record, garnering seven Big Ten Lions' Cogdill 'Suspended Indefinitely' DETROIT (AP)-Detroit Lion end Gail Cogdill was suspended yester- day for an indefinite period by the National Football League club.

The Flint speech was made at a meeting of the Woman's Club of Flint.

Hunt took the high jump, defeating Ted Downing of Miami who cleared the same height but had more misses. The Wolverine two mile relay team finished third, while the sprint medley relay team, running legs of 440 yards, two 220's and one 880, took second behind Mich- igan State. Canham expects the two mile won by former sWolverine star Kent Bernard, representing the Ann Arbor Track Club. The sec- ond and third men in Bernard's heat had better times than Grove, but Canham thought the Michigan junior would have placed higher if he had run in the faster group. But the stiffest competition is yet to come. The cindermen's journey to East Lansing Saturday will pit them against the best op- positionthey'll face until the NCAA Indoors.
