THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, --= ,.. ^*= MAN i/ kI(tikn by MIKE GILLMAN B asketball,, By CLIFF MARKS Hockey To Opeu By DAVE ANDREWS -a-enst r. , Frida Party Time NCE UPON A TIME ther-e was a bunch of kids that played. together, Of course there are always bunches of kids that play gether, but this particular group that lived in one corner of wn always had a lot of fun when they played. A few years ago, a banker in another part of town happened1 notice this particular bunch of kids. Now this banker was famous Iover town for his kids' parties. Every year a little after Christmas 0 gave a big party for the kids in town. All of the other people town made donations to it and many of them even came to the' ,rty itself and had fun with the kids. Now obviously, there wasn't room at this banker's home for all the kids in town, so only one from each corner of town was tvited and that one brought back lots of goodies for all his friends. And as we said, he happened to notice this particular bunch; kids a few years ago. He had occasionally invited soie of their arents to the party when they were young, but had never done regularly. But he finally decided that this was an exceptionally deserving inch of kids and decided that one of them would be a regular guest his annual party. So he told them that he would reserve a place the table for them during every holiday season, if they would gree to send one of their happy group to the party to collect all e candy and presents for the rest. As you would expect, the kids acted normally and accepted the vitation. Things went along smoothly like this for a few years, ith one of the neighborhood gang going to the annual party and etting the presents for the rest. And every year the lucky kid that ot to pick up the goodies was a hero to the rest of his gang. * * * [IHENTHINGS STARTED to change. The old gang started to develop a little dissension. One or two of the kids' parents decided bey didn't really need the presents and since they should be studying nyway, told their kids to try and stop the agreement with the anker. Others in the gang resented the fact that only about half the ads ever had a chance to go to the party. And when one day the bunch of kids was evenly split on whether r not to keep their deal with the banker, they decided to make it voluntary proposition-none of them HAD to go, but any of them OULD go-if the banker invited him personally. (He would still ave to divy up the goodies thoughr) ,Now this wasn't a very gracious thing for the kids to do in Lew of how hospitable the banker had been in the past. But when Lie next year rolled around, the banker showed that he could orgive and forget by asking one of the kids from the old gang again. In fact, this year the kid he asked was one of those that had barted the talk against going to the party regularly. The banker .ad even passed over a number of other kids in town that were iterested in the party to invite this member of the old gang. ' OW THIS KIND action on the part of the banker encouraged many of the kids in the gang to think that maybe this year's lucky arty-goer might change his mind and help them get an agreement rom the banker again. They knew that if they didn't have an greement, some day the banker might not ask one of them and .obody would have any goodies. But they were wrong. This year the invited member of the gang raciously accepted the invitation. But in the same breath he told be rest of the kids that he woudn't help them go to the party in he future! And that's the situation now. The rest of the gang can't under- and why their old friend doesn't want everyone to have a chance 4 go to parties, but is glad to go himself. Well, Minnesota? How about it? Why did you vote to accept the tose Bowl bid and on the same day vote to continue opposition o a contractual agreement between the Big Ten and the Rose Bowl ommittee? The rest of us kids in this corner of town would like a chance a go to a party someday at the banker's big house over on Pasadena treet. NFL Standings WESTERN DIVISION EASTERN DIVISION W L TPet. Pts.

Strack has already mentioned that two of last year's problems, lack of depth and height, will be somewhat prevalent again this year, but only competition will tell the story. The first-year coach has only 13 eligible ball players to work with, including four from the foot- ball team, and the opening game wiht Vanderbilt is only three days away. Tallest Player Tallest player on the squad is 67" Tom Cole, a sophomore from Springfield, Ill., who may lack the necessary beef to scramble under the boards with some of the Big Ten giants like Walt Bellamy of Indiana. An encouraging note is that Strack will be able to choose his starting five from a group that includes seven men who started at one time or another last year, plus four promising sophomores yet to be tested in action. The upper classmen include seniors Dick Donley (6'5") and captain John Tidwell, holder of the Michigan one-game and season scoring rec- ords; junior guards Jon Hall and Steve Schoenherr, and forwards Charlie Higgs, Bob Brown and Scott Maentz. The latter two have been prac- ticing only a few days following the completion of the football sea- son, but should add some of the necessary beef that lanky centers Cole and Donley lack. Could Help "Brown and Maentz could help us a great deal, both because of last year's experience and their size, but it takes -time and hard work to develop basketball legs," said Strack. "It's a tough transi- tion to make from the gridiron to the court, but we hope they can do so quickly." Two other football players also have reported, 6' Syl Jankowski and 6'3" George Ginger, a strong 204 pounder. This should add to the somewhat thin bench. Sophomore Hopefuls The sophomore group, in addi- tion to Cole, includes 6'4" Don Petroff, a rugged looking 210- pounder from East Detroit, Tom Eveland, a 5'10" guard from Li- vonia, and Joe Mameth, a 5'11" back court man. In discussing the team, Strack said that Tidwell undoubtedly is the key to thehoffensive attack, ".. but the other boys have to take up the slack this season, which was a major factor contrib- uting to last year's poor record." Strack said that Tidwell will probably play both guard and for- ward, alternating to suit the needs of the team. Different Style After about five weeks of prac- tice, Strack has developed a "slight- ly different style" for this year. "We will have to work for the good shot and utilize the fast break only when the opportunity presents itself," he said. "We are going to be a 'smart team' since we don't have the members and strength of some of iour opponents. The boys have been working hard on what they do well in trying to perfect their indi- vidual performances." - Unknown and untested but Itch-, ing for game competition, Michi- gan's hockey team plunges into the roughest schedule in its his- tory when Toronto comes to town for a two-game set Friday and Saturday. Following the Toronto series, Coach Al Renfrew will have just one short week to prepare his Wol- verines for the Western Inter- collegiate Hockey League opener, also at home against North Da- kota. As of yet, Renfrew said, the Wolverines are still unsettled as to who will play where and with whom. "We've got too many cen- ters," he added. Fast and Experienced One thing, however, is sure; Michigan will put a fast and ex- perienced team on the ice against the Canadians. Ten lettermen re- turn and along with the addition of several promising sophomores, the Wolverines may well surprise. Captain Dale McDonald heads the list of five lettermen forwards. He is ablely supported by Gordon "Red" Berenson, Joe Lunghamer, Al Hinnegan, and Carl White. Pat Cushing, who lettered two years ago, also returns, along with Pat Kelly and Denny Rhode to add strength to the Wolverines' front line. Back on defense will be John Palenstein, -Bernie Nielson, and I Tom Wilson, and Jim Coyle will bel back in the nets for a while but7 faces a challenge from sophomorei Dave Butts. Good Sophs Other sophomores will fill the spots left by the graduation of Hockey tickets will go on sale, Friday morning from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Athletic Ad- ministration Building.

Tickets for stu- dents and University employees are $1.00. forwards Bob White, Steve Bo- chen, and Gary Mattson, and cap- tain and outstanding defenseman Bobby Watt. Larry Babcock, John McGonigal, and Tom Pendlebury are expected to see action as forwards while Don Rodgers is expected to strengthen the defense., Last year after a strong start, the Wolverines faltered in league play and finished the season with a 7-11 mark good for fifth place in the league. They were 12-12 overall. In an early poll of coaches, Michigan was picked to finish fourth in the tough WIHL behind Denver, Michigan Tech, and North Dakota. Last weekend the Huskies and the Sioux got a jump on the rest of the teams when they split a pair of games at Grand Forks. The NoDaks took the opener Fri- day, 6-4, but Tech rebounded with a startling 8-1 triumph Saturday.
