THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1966 THE MICIAN D AILY' 'Dn n-v in irtr4 .... 1 1 rYALEr SEVEN LLOYD GRAFF The Ghastly Spectre Of Creeping Feminism I'm not the kind of cro magnon creature who thinks that a woman's only place is in the home. I don't believe for a minute that a woman should be destined solely for the prosaic domestic life. In fact I think that in some cases women should be treated as the equals of men. But this fervent faith in the emancipation of women will not' deter tge from deploring a malignant trend in collegiate sport. It's a trend so shocking, pregnant with lurid implications, that I cringe even thinking about it. Men, the unfair sex is infiltrating intercollegiate athletics. Inter-, collegiate sport, once an outpost of snarling virility and hair-on-the- chest sponteneity, is -no longer the private preserve of men. Rouged, lipsticked, high-heeled, bleached blonde, football chested Amazons are sticking their powdered noses and enameled fingernails into varsity sports. Ain't that some noive? Certainly these wiseoff broads with the hefty forearms aren't too common yet, but the precedent has been set. A girl tennis star plays for Miami (Fla.) and a female aquatic swims for Alabama. These are the only dames I know who've cracked the barrier, but girls are like bread mold spores. You let them get started and pretty soon they've engulfed you in the slimy green. Now don't get me wrong. Some of my best friends are girls, but a woman's place is in the laundry, not the locker room. When this breach of the manly wall becomes a fullscale invasion the lovely myth of masculine dominance will be deader than Dobie Gillis. And then where will we be, men. Girls will call us up for dates and banish us to the clothes dryer when the TV hockey games begin. Men will baste the Sunday turkey when the babes are turning the front nine. Van Patrick will switch with Betty Furness. The Changing Role .. Men's roles which are foggy now will be solidly second rate then. How's a man going to feel when a Louise or Rita wins the Most Valuable Player award in the National Football League. The insidious spectre of creeping feminism has been sniping at the masculine flanks too. Sportswriting, traditionally a profession as manly as a straight razor, has been punctured by women. A cubbette reporter broke the Gail Cogdill story in Flint, the Wisconsin Cardinal yielded to a female sports editor, and even the grizzled Daily has been infiltrated by one Gretchen 'wietmeyer. And just yesterday I learned of another guerrilla assault by the female .sports conspiracy. Southern Illinois University, a small college athletic power, will employ coed batboys (batgirls, batbabes, bat- handlers, batbeauties, batties?) this spring. The girls will escort the umpires to their stations, take baseballs to the plate, tote bats. How dainty. What would Iron Arm McGinnity and Three Fingers Brown say? How would Bill Klem take to a female escort to the plate? Ty Cobb will grunt in his grave. But it's not only caveman tradition and gnawing fear that the masculine pedestal's being chipped that drives me to this condemna- tion of encroaching femininity. Men have got enough trouble trying to stay unemasculated in our unfrontiersy society. White collar jobs rarely demand much more than a hampster's physical vigor, and could be handled better by a snappy Jane than a dolorous Joe. If women go career hunting in a big way, it'll make things tougher for men. I think life is competitive enough as it is, frankly. Girls, listen to me. Sew, cook, type, nurse, that's woman's work. Try out for the choir, join the PTA. . Please? Pretty please. lCers By JIM TINDALL Last weekend the Minnesota hockey team did what Michigan couldn't. They beat North Dakota twice "inside" the Nodaks home igloo. This weekend, Michigan only has to do what it did before. Beat the Gophers twice. When the Maize and Blue had finished with Minnesota the last time they met, the Gophers were wallowing around in seventh place in the WCHA. Now they are tied for second. The last time the two teams met they performed in Williams Arena where Minnesota has lost five of their six games. Now the Gophers are on the road and rolling. Back to Strength The last time the two teams met the Gophers' first line missed Bruce Larson and high-scoring Doug Woog hobbled slightly on an Face ' injured ankle. Now they are Ihealthy. The last time the teams met Michigan was more than just re- spectful towards the Gophers who have been traditionally rugged on their home ice. That hasn't changed, but the Gopher attitude toward the Maize and Blue has. After the two game series early Charging' Gophers pairs for the last three weekends, and if progressions mean anything they are due to win twice this Friday and Saturday. The Blue were ready to eat the proverbial "raw meat" before the Michigan Tech series two weeks ago, and the results indicated that this could be an excellent steady diet as the Wolverines dumped the NCAA and in January, Minnesota Coach John WCHA champs by scores of 3-1 Mariucci said, "Michigan really and 4-2. Last weekend was a dif-j surprised me. I expected them to be tough, but not this tough." The series sweep in Minneapolis was the first for Michigan Coach Al Renfrew in all of his years of coaching in the WCHA, and he would like nothing better than to whip Mariucci and Company twice more for the benefit of the home fans. Anyone for Geometry? The Michigan team has seen its victories and losses coming in ferent story as Michigan was never ahead in either game with Michigan State, and a crumbling defense allowed the Spartans a five-goal first period on Friday night in East Lansing. Both games were hard-fought contests, and the Blue seemed to be completely frustrated as they just couldn't "put the puck in the net" despite many good opportunities. The Michigan-Minnesota hockey rivalry has been one of the most bitter and violent in all of college history. In all, 159 games have been played and Minnesota holds an eight game edge in the victor- ies which they padded last year. In a dramatic finish they gave the Wolverines a cement casket and dropped them out of the playoffs, when Michigan was fiercely fight- ing over fourth spot with Michigan State. Mariucci is one of the two WCHA answers to Leo "The Lip." The other half of that team per- formed in the Coliseum last week- end as Michigan State's Amo Bes- sone kept up a steady verbal bar- rage on the officials and climaxed his performance by struggling to break a headlock held by one of his own players so that he could attack a fan' in the stands. Mar- iucci may not be as active off of the bench, but you can wager that when everyone else is silent "Maroosh" won't be. Fast Improvement Minnesota has improved with frightening speed over the past few \weekends as they have run roughshod over the rest of the league.sThe Gophers did lose to Michigan State two weeks ago after winning the first game in overtime, but that apparently only spurred them on to drop rugged North Dakota twice. Incidentally, Minnesota beat the Nodaks one other time this year in the St. Paul Holiday Classic. The Gophers key their defense around veteran netminder John Lothrop who set a Minnesota rec- ord last year as he turned away an amazing total of 869 shots for the season. With a goalie as cap- able as Lothrop, Minnesota's de- fenders can roam inside the of- fensive zone and their wings can play a little looser hoping to pick up a breakaway. Complimenting Offense Minnesota has an offense to go with their netminding that fea- tures Doug Woog who wound up third in WCHA individual scoring last season. Woog is only 5'10" and 165 pounds, which makes him about an even match for Mel Wakabayashi, but he makes up for his diminutive stature with hustle. The line that has been the most pleasant surprise for "Maroosh" has been the Lorne Grosso-Gary Gambucci-Chuck Norby combina- tion. Grosso is a senior and adds experience to the trio as the other two Gophers are sophomore wings that Mariucci rates as among the top college sophs he has ever seen or coached.tWhen this scoring combo is on the ice the Wolverines will have to be on their defensive toes.
