i PAGE SIX TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, JANUARY 15.1966 I icers Triumph 4-2; Gymnasts Romp 4 FRATERNITY Wolverines Roll to Fourth Consecutive WCHA Victory -.,_ , _ ._ ,. . _ _ . . ._ - - - s By DALE SIELAFF "Michigan skates as well as any' team in the league, and overall they're as good as anybody. Their defense was exceptional." So says Colorado hockey coach Bob Johnson, and he ought to know. His Colorado Tigers had just come off the ice last night with a 4-2 loss to the Wolverines. Last night's win moved the Wol- verines into solid possession of second place in the WCHA with a 4-1 mark, while the Tigers dropped to 4-3. Colorado will get its chance to jump back into contention tonight at the Coliseum, with the faceofft scheduled for 8:00. "You can't play ten minutes of hockey and expect to win in this league. We just weren't getting the second chances. Their goalie (Michigan soph Harold Herman) played real well, even though we didn't really test him until the last few minutes." Battle of Netminders It started out as a battle of goalies, and continued that way throughout the 60 minutes. The first period saw shots going both ways, but Colorado's Bill Howard, and Herman rose to the occasion 16 and eight times re- spectively. Many of the saves were in the spectacular category, and the first =20 minutes were score- less. Wolverine. Bill Lord broke the spell at 2:51 of the middle stanza, taking a pass back from a goal mouth scramble, and sending a slap shot right back through the pile-up and into the net, giving Michigan a lead that it didn't lose. Dean Lucier, Mel Wakabayashi, and Bob Baird teamed up to open a two .goal 'M' spread a minute later. "Waka" took a Lucier pass and streaked down the left side, passing across the ice to Baird in front of the net. Baird had no trouble lifting a soft shot over Howard for his tenth (and team leading) tally of the year. Credit Defense Much of the credit for the low scoring, and relatively penalty- free game, was given to the Mich- igan defense, both by Johnson and by Michigan coach Al Renfrew, who commented, "The defense played well, but it was anybody's game up until the end. We were spotty. I just hope we can get the breaks tomorrow night, because they're a good club." Herman's shutout bid was ruin- ed at 11:29 of the last period, af- ter Mark Thompson had scored what proved to be the winner at 9:40. Ron Ullyot skated in on Howard and took a hard shot, which the Colorado netminder stopped waist high, only to see Thompson ram the rebound past him into the open side. Herman, who has stopped wear- ing a mask like other WCHA goalies wear because "it interfered with my vision, especially on scrambles at my feet," saw his 51 minute unscored-on streak snap- ped out of just such a scramble. 'Bounced Out' "It came off a sticl and into my glove. Then it bounced out, and he (Colorado's Chuck Reink- ing) got the rebound. I gave it to them." The second goal, which pulled the Tigers to within one, came on "a good shot over my shoulder," by CC's Doug Clark, who had taken a rinkwide pass from Reink- ing at the 16 minute mark. The Wolverines iced the game at 17:46, but not before several saves by Herman kept the Wol- verine advantage. Bruce Koviak, playing off his usual Detroit line, broke in on Howard alone, and was tripped from behind, a delayed penalty was being signaled, but while lay- ing flat on the ice, Koviak pushed the puck under Howard with his stick, and then followed it into the net with a slide that Maury Wills would have been proud of. Largest Crowd The largest home crowd of the season for Michigan, 1890, saw the Wolverines outshoot their op- ponents, as they have been doing all year, 47 to 28, and they saw excellent goaltending by both Howard and Herman.

"Their defense kept us from getting the second shots. You can't win in this league on one shot. You have to get the rebounds and scrambles. Michigan skates well, and comes out of their zone real quick. It's an even league, and Michigan's got as good a chance as anybody. They, and their goalie, are as good as any we've seen so far." 1- WCHA Standings W L T Pct.

Both seniors started early in the season but were replaced by Mike Weaver and Walt Tiberi. Milam, who is described by Coach Larry Glass, as "a heady, capable play- maker," came out for basketball the first time this year. John Martz and Jim Cummins fought earlier in the season for the starting forward spot next to pair of top finishes. AT NU: Matmen Meet 'Cats I By GRETCHEN TWIETMEYER "It's not often that two good teams compete in a dual meet, but this is one of those times," said swimming Coach Gus Stager yesterday. Of course, he was re- ferring to today's dual meet with Indiana. Since 1961, Michigan has fin- ished runner-up to the Hoosiers every season. Last year, however, they snapped Indiana's 47 vic- tory dual meet string with a 70- 53 victory. At 3 p.m. today, Matt Mann Pool will be flooded with such illustrious stars as Olympians Carl Robie and Bill Farley of Michigan, and Kevin Berry, Ken Sitzberger, and Tom Tretheway of Indiana, not to mention Big Ten and NCAA winners. However, "it is doubt- ful that too many records will be broken today," added Stager. Too Early One reason is that it is too early in the season for the swim- mers to be at peak performance. Another has to do with psychol- ogy: both teams want to win the meet, not break records, and they will rely on strategy and timing rather than speed alone. Michigan's medley relay team, which set a varsity record last year, will probably include Rees Orland, Paul Scheerer, Ken Wie- beck and Rich Walls, swinming backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle in that order. Against them for Indiana will be Pete ,Hammer, Tom Tretheway, Kevin Berry, and Dick Gilbert. Rugged Condition The competition will be rough. As Hoosier Coach Jim "Doc" Councilman puts it, "We'll have more individual stars on this team and also more proven depth in some positions 'than we did last year."~ Carl Robie and Bill Farley will swim the 1000-yard freestyle, along with Alan McDaid, a De- troit sophomore. Farley, who broke both the Michigan' pool and var- sity records in this event last year with a 10:22.5 and Robie, whose main specialty is the but- terfly, set records in the butter- fly, individual medley, freestyle, and freestyle relay. Another rec- ord setter, Bob Hoag, will be an important factor. Pitted against them are Hoos- ier Scott Cordin, a junior from Illinois and senior Dick Allen. In last year's meet, Bill Far. ley and Paul Groft won the 200- and 50-yard freestyle events, re- spectively. Their chief competi- tors were Scott Cordin and Bob Williamson, who broke the 100- yard backstroke record in the same meet. Besides these two, juniors Chuck Gilbert and John Newman, will add depth,' to In- diana. In the butterfly, Carl Robie will be challenged by Kevin' Berry in what might prove the most excit- ing event of the meet. Berry, who was ineligible as a mid-se- mester freshman last year, beat Robie in the Olympics. Since then, however, Robie has beat his time. Hoosier Diver Diver Ken Sitzberger, the Hoos- ier who won Big Ten crowns for one and three meters, alsowon an Olympic springbQard cham- pionship. Teammates Rick Gil- bert, who finished second to Sitz- berger in the NCAA meet and Rick Early, who placed third on the three-meter board in the same meet, will spearhead Coach Hobie Billingsley's squad. Michigan's diving coach Dick Kimball will head his divers with Bruce Brown, who finished fifth in the national AAU last sum- mer, took sixth in the NCAA, and took fourth on the high board and seventh in the Big Ten low board competition. In the individual medley, Ralph Kendrick, Bill Utley, and Ken Webb have finished among the top six in AAU meets for Indiana, but Ken Wiebeck, John Vry, and Tom S CORES NBA Philadelphia 112, Boston 100 Baltimore 121, St. Louis 119 COLLEGE BASKETBALL Princeton 74, Dartmouth 52 Thiel (Pa) 89, Wayne State 85 Eastern Michigan 89, Allegheny 64 Columbia 84, Brown 50 Detroit Tech 90, Walsh 88 Colgate 716, Buffalo 74 Winona 85, Michigan Tech 71 Knox 81, Ripon 79 Williams ought to give them rough competition.
