six THE MICHIGAN DAIL'Y' TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4,1964 SIX THE MICHIGAN BAtTY TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 4.1984 ,, 5ophs Spur Icers to Top WCHA By PERRY HOOD With nearly half the league sea- son gone, Michigan's icers share the lead in the WCHA standings with Minnesota, bolstered by nine talented sophomores. Wilfred Martin paces the soph skaters as the team's third lead- ing scorer overall, and the league's leading point-getter. In the second period of a non-conference win over Loyola of Montreal, Martin blasted through three goals in three minutes, nine seconds to gain his first hat trick of the season.

Coach Al Renfrew said, "These fellows are playing real well for sophomores. "Defensively the sophomores have done a tremendous job," con- tinued Renfrew. Tom Polonic, a good-sized defenseman at 210 pounds standing 6'3", is the team's fifth highest scorer, a "very high score for any defenseman,' ac- cording to Renfrew. "Polonic is playing very well at defense." Colorado Coach Bob Johnson summed up the defense with: "The big defense is very effective," aft- er watching his Tiger's being con- tinually beaten out fighting for the puck around the boards. Gets Hat Trick Mel Wakabayashi, an instant crowd-pleaser because of his hustle and scrappy play for his size (5'6", 150 pounds), has played extremely well since becoming eligible at the I CAGERS DROP SECOND: Bradds Carries Ohio State To Buzzer as Final Shots Fail beginning of the semester. Waka- bayashi tallied a hat trick last Saturday against Colorado College, and "could have had two or three more," said Renfrew. "Wakabay- ashi is an exciting player," added the coach. . Sophomore Barry MacDonald has been starting at defense all season, after having been convert- ed from wing. Ted Henderson, playing defense with experienced Roger Galipeau, "has improved tremendously this year." Another defenseman, Rick Day, "will be good later on", not having had as much game experience as the oth- er sophomores. Adds Two Goals Bob Ferguson, playing wing with the third line, is "getting better every game," continued Renfrew. Ferguson pounded home two goals against Colorado Friday night for his fifth and sixth goals of the season. With leading scorer Gary Butler resting because of a slight knee in- jury, sophomore Pierre Dechaine played with the first line and scored his first goal of his colle- giate career against Colorado Sat- urday. Half of Total Scores Overall, the sophs have contrib- uted almost half of the team's total points, 131 out of 265. Col- orado College's Johnson mentioned the Wolverines "impressive of- fense, with good balance" as being a deciding factor in their success in the series. Butler and goalie Bob Gray, both slightly injured during the weekend series, were at practice today and are in good shape ac- cording to Renfrew. The Wolver- ines now stand 5-1 in the confer- ence, 12-2 overall, with two away games this weekend against Ohio University and Ohio State. WCHA Standings W L T Pct. (Continued from Page 1) that Michigan was fighting hard to keep its unblemished confer- ence record intact.. The contest was a different story fr'om the one played at Yost Field House two weeks ago, when the Wolverines routed Ohio State 82-64. The game was tied three times in the second half but the Wol- verines were unable to pull away. They led four times but never by more than two points. Bradds led all scorers but Rus- sell and Buntin were the next highest with 30 and 26 respec- tively. One difference from the first game was the fact that Michigan failed to outrebound Ohio State. Each team had 39 rebounds. Rus- sell and Darden led all rebounders with 11 and 10 respectively. The Buckeyes got hot in the sec- ond stanza pumping in 65 per cent of their shots, while Michigan hit a respectable 50 per cent. The only shot the Buckeye cen- ter missed in the second half out of the fifteen shots he took was tipped in by the Ohio forward Bob Shaffer. Ohio State brought its confer- ence record to 4-2 while they are only 9-7 on the year.' The loss was not disastrous to Michigan's title hopes. They still moved into first place because of the Illinois loss. The Wolverines play Illinois at Champaign Sat- urday. S rack P raises Is-G u t GutyBall By TOM WEINBERG Michigan Improved on last year's performance at St. Johns by only one point, last year's Ohio's victory margin was two points, but neither coach detract- ed from the Wolverines effort in Columbus. I tbeen 17 years since the Wol- verines last won in Columbus and now the basketball team will have to wait until next year until they can try to breakthat string. The .,Buckeyes have never been beaten in St. Johns by a Big Ten team but they have lost three games to non- conference foes this year. The first of these losses was to powerful Davidson. Coach Dave Strack said after the game, "They got good- shots, we didn't expect them to make all those 20 footers. On the whole I'd have to say that we played pretty 'gutty' ball. The way we - came from eight points behind, it might have been a different story if we would have made one of those three tips. We had the momentum and you can never tell what's go- ing to happen in the overtime." About that last frantic play Strack had this to say, "We had the ball set up for Cazzie, if he couldn't get the shot it would Saubert NipS Into Second In Slalom INNSBRUCK, Austria WP) - America's daring darling of the ski slopes, Jean Saubert, raced to a second place tie in the ladies' giant slalom yesterday and won her second medal-a silver-for the United States in the ninth Winter Olympic Games. Brightness came to the U.S. camp after days of steady defeat and frustration when a pair of young figure skating aces, Scotty Allen of Smoke Rise, N.J., and Monty Hoyt of Denver, got off to a strong early start in the men's singles at the Ice Stadium. Miss Saubert, 21-year-old Ore- gon State student from Lakeview, Ore., swooped down the 1,662- yard, 59-gate Lizum Valley course like a runaway rocket to tie Christine Goitschel of France for the silver medal. both of them the bat of an eyelash back of Chris- tine's kid sister, Marielle. Marielle, 18, won the gold medal with the excellent clocking of 1 minute, 52.24 seconds. Jean and Christine were timed in 1:53.11. The same three girls finished 1-2-3 last Saturday in the ladies' slalom, but in different order. Christine, 19, was the winner, with Marielle second and Miss Sau- bert, the bronze medalist at third. Other U.S. women skiers finish- ed out of the running. Barbara Ferries of Houghton, Mich., was 20th in 1:59.44; Joan Hannah of Franconia, N.H., was 26th in 2:01.97, and Linda Meyers of Bishop, Calif., was 30th in 2:03.46. BIG EIGHT: Orange Bowl Drops Pact MIAMI, Fla. W)P-The Orange Bowl decided yesterday to drop its 11-year-old contract with the Big Eight Conference and go into the open market to find opponents for the annual New Year's Day football game. "It was the hope of the Orange Bowl committee that all sections of our country would thereby be- come eligible for our bowl," said Ben Benjamin, president of the committee. The committee and the execu- tive director of the Big Eight, Wayne Duke, said their relation- ship had been pleasant and the decision was made without any hard feelings. "The committee recognizes that the Big Eight is one of the out- standing conferences in the coun- try and we have enjoyed a most pleasant and mutually enjoyable relationship," said Benjamin. Big Ten Standings W L Pct. MICHIGAN 6 1 .857 Illinois 3 1 .750 Ohio State 4 2 .667 Minnesota 4 3 .571 By BOB CARNEY It's a bad year to be a wrestler. With Cazzie Russell and com- pany packing them in at leaky Yost Field House and hockey and gymnastics teams after NCAA crowns Michigan matmen have been somewhat overshadowed. Few people seem to realize that the Wolverine wrestlers are quietly stalking their 11th Big Ten crown. The lack of attention doesn't seem to matter to wrestling cap- tain Wayne Miller. He isn't used to a lot of limelight. "I played baseball and football in high school besides competing in wrestling," said Miller, "but I never got any state awards." Captaincy Today, however, Miller is lead- ing one of the nation's foremost wrestling teams. How did it come about. In his senior year of high school, Wayne decided that if he was go- ing to participate in varsity ath- letics in college it would have to be wrestling. "I wasn't good enough to play baseball or football," he said. "But this wasn't his only reason for choosing wrestling., "I was also kind of small for most college sports. This is no problem in wrestling because of the weight class system. That's why I like the sport. It's desire and determ- ination that counts-not size." Coach Boosts M' In his decision to come to Mich- igan Wayne was guided by his high school coach and friend, Jack Marchello, who was one of Mich- igan's top wrestlers a few years ago. After two trips to the campus and visits with coach Cliff Keen, Wayne made his choice for Mich- igan. Like most high school wrestlers, he found the transition to the college mat an abrupt one. Be- sides the fact that the matches are three minutes longer and that STANDOUT WRESTLER: Miller Leads Breezing Matmen 1 the books more rigorous, Wayne noted that college wrestling ne- cessitates more desire. "The competition is so close that the decision usually goes to the wrestler who wants it more. Even within our own team the competition is fierce." Likes It Tough Competition, however, seems to be something that Miller thrives on. Last year he battled Big Ten champion Rick Bay all season for the 157 pound starting berth, and although Bay finally started in t h e conference championship, Miller saw action in several meets during the year. This year, with Bay at 167, the situation is reversed. Miller has the starting berth but is challeng- ed every week by teammates Dave Post and Jim Evashevski. "These challenge matcnes," says Wayne, "are as tough as any matches we get. Again that's what makes wrestling unique.' We owe our training to our coaches, but in the end its up to the man him- self-his intelligence, his determ- ination." "We've got Michigan State to contend with yet. We're going to be careful. Any team would love to knock us off, so we're taking them one at a time."
