"We're go'ng in with respect
for everyone and fear of no one."
So says Coach Dave Strack of
Michigan's Kansas City bound
basketball squad. The Wolverines
will open their bid for their first
NCAA basketball championship
tomorrow night against third
ranked Duke.

Telegranm
Alpha Kappa Psi, professional
Business Administration frater-
nity, is sponsoring a mass tele-
gram from Michigan students to
Coach Dave Strack and the bas-
ketball team in Kansas City.
Over 1,000 names were collected
yesterday, and if a total of 4,800
are obtained, the telegram will
be 100 feet long-long enough to
reach the length of the court with
enough left over to bandage Caz-
zie Russell's ankle.
Stands will be set up in front
of the Union and on the Diag to-
dqy to collect signatures.
A dcnation of ten cents, per
signature is asked to pay for the
telegram, and any money left over
will be given to a basketball schol-
arship find. Any campus groups
wshirg to submit names should
colEct the signatures (and the
dime per each) and call Lhe Alpha
Kappa Psi house 65-2789) be-:
fore 6 p m. The names and moneyv
will be picked up between 6 p.m.
and 8 p.m., tcnight.;
Although some observers are
making Michigan a favorite based
on their previous 83-67 triumph
over the Blue Devils, Strack isn't
taking the opening game lightly.
"We're not looking past them,"
says Strack. "We're not looking
past anyone. We're just lookingl
forward to Friday night."
Duke's coach, Vic Bubas, says
his team has matured since the
loss to Michigan. "We think more
aggressively, play more aggres-
sively now. We are a more con-
fident team," he added. "Our
scoring balance is better and
we're a little better off defens-
ively."
Recent performances back up'
Bubas' sentiments. In the NCAA
Eastern regional finals, Duke
completely outclassed Connecti-j
cut. And even though All-Ameri-
can Jeff Mullins scored 73 points
in the two games, Duke showed it
wasn't a one man team.
Second string sophomore guard,
Steve Vacendak, played so well
that he made the Eastern regional
all-star team. For rebounding
strength, the Blue Devils have
Hack Tison and Jay Buckley. Both
men' are 6-10 and combined with
Mullins form a very formidable
front line.
In Friday's second contest top
rated UCLA will battle unherald-
ed Kansas State. Tex Winter,
K-State's head coach, will be
wearing his lucky brown suit for
the game. Winter has been wear-
ing his good luck piece the last
13 games and the Wildcats have
taken them all.
Ranking Aid
Winter feels the pressure of
UCLA's number one ranking will
enhance the chances of his own
team, but Uclan coach, John
Wooden, doesn't agree. Wooden
says the rating "doesn't mean that
much." The Bruins' coach added,
"At this level . . . nothing could
be considered an upset."
The Wolverines will be the first
team to reach Kansas City, arriv-
ing at 11:09 this morning. The
team will have their headquarters
in the Continental Hotel and
practice in Municipal Auditorium
from 3 to 4 this afternoon.
As of now, the Michigan-Duke
game is scheduled to be picked up
in progress for television viewing
at 9:30 p.m. on WWJ-TV, Channel'
4. If the Wolverines win, the
championship game the next night
would be picked up, again in pro-
gress, over the same station at 11
p.m. TV plans, however, are not
final at this time.

Although the meet saw no new
records, the performances were
generally respectable. In a near
record showing Tony Lopucki of
Lambda Chi Alpha pole vaulted
11'6", only one inch off the exist-
ing mark. Lopucki, pressed hard
from Bill Raymer, Delta Upsilon,
won on fewer misses.
Ed Barret, Sig Ep, won the 65-
yard high hurdles with a time o
.09.1. Theta Xi was strong in
his event as it placed Tom Mi-
heve and Jim Black second and
third, respectively.
In the mile, which saw a flock
of runners competing but only a
handful finishing, John Pahl of
Phi Gamma Delta won in 5:01.3.
Pahl, who has broken five min-
utes in high school, was defend-
ing champion in this event.
Theta Xi's Fred Jardon won the
440 dash with a time of :56.4. His
time was the fastest in the three
heats that were held.
The 60-yard dash provided the
most exciting event of the night.
In a highly contested final sprint
Dave Campbell of SAE broke the
tape first in :06.8. However, a
pint-sized runner from Phi Epsi-
lon Pi, Dan Pinkert, surprised
everyone with a close second and
a fine :06.7 in his qualifying heat.
Defending champion, Al Boos
repeated in the 880-yard run with
a time of 2:13.1. Boos is in Sig Ep.
SAE swept the first two places

THE EXTRA POINT
by JIM BERGER
Hockey Hypocrisy
A favorite pastime for any sports writer is to look at a champion-
ship team that beat out the team that he's following and point out
that they're champions because they scheduled only the weak teams
while his losing team played the strong ones.
For years this newspaper has blasted Minnesota hockey coach
John Mariucci for his refusal to play Denver, a perennial powerhouse
in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA). Ohio State
has been criticized for not playing Michigan State in football.
This year the Michigan hockey team played the scheduling
game and won. Today they play in the National Collegiate Athletic
Association hockey championships at Denver. Michigan didn't play
second-place Denver and third-place North Dakota during the
regular season..
Last weekend Michigan looked pathetic in the WCHA playoffs at
Ann Arbor. They had to go into two overtimes to defeat Michigan
Tech and then they were skated off the ice by Denver.
I'm not saying Michigan is a "cheese champion," but last weekend
they sure looked like it. If the series were played at Tech, Michigan
wduld have been beaten easily. For Saturday's game you can't say
Michigan was tired, because Denver also played two games and then
flew to Ann Arbor for Saturday night's final.
For those who've seen Michigan play this season, they can
only say that Michigan had an "off series." They weren't up. This
weekend should prove just how good Michigan actually is. -
But there's another problem, far more serious than how good or
bad the team plays. It's the problem of hypocrisy.
Michigan set out on a new hockey policy last season to withdraw
from the WCHA with Michigan State and Minnesota and form a Big
Ten Hockey League or something in that order.
To facilitate the withdrawal, Michigan ceased scheduling
teams like Denver and North Dakota. They played only Colorado
College because a previous scheduling arrangement had been made
to have CC come to Ann Arbor this year.
Another reason was the high cost for transpor-tation to Denver,
North Dakota and Colorado College.
At the beginning of the season, there were doubts that Michigan
was still in the WCHA. The Wolverines had it easy. They played
Michigan State, the league's last-place team, four times and won all
four, games; Michigan Tech, the fifth-place team, four times and won
three; Minnesota, the fourth place team, four times and won three;
and Colorado, the sixth-place team, and won both games.
Michigan, who had renounced the WCHA, then decided that they
would happily accept the championship and the chance to play in the
NCAA's.
So what Michigan had blamed Minnesota for doing, they did
themselves. If Michigan's policy had been consistent, it would
have refused the WCiA title.
I just hope we don't have the hockey team screaming about "bad
scheduling" ever again.
By SCOTT BLECH
A few days ago, if Coach Cliff
Keen were asked about Michigan's
chances in the NCAA wrestling
meet, he would probably have an-
swered that his grapplers would be
in it all the way.
Yesterday, asked the same ques-
tion, Coach Keen replied that now,
"Things look tough."
Forecast
This change is due to three sud-
den and possibly disastrous occur-
rences. Most disastrous of all is
the loss of Michigan's hard-luck
157-pound junior, Rick Bay, who
will be absent from thetourney
with a badly bruised shoulder.
Scrappy 130-pound sophomore
Bill Johannesen wrenched his
knee during Tuesday's practice
and is a doubtful participant as;
is 177-pound Chris Stowell who
is being tested for mononucleosis.
After seeing the doctor yester-
day, Bay said that his shoulder
was badly bruised and although
there was no fracture it was "not
advisable for him to wrestle."
Bay was injured in the quarter
finals of the Big Ten meet and
was forced to drop out of his
semi-final match with Big Ten
champion Lee Gross of Minnesota.
The stocky Michigan wrestler fin-
ished fifth in the 157-pound
weight class of last year year's
NCAA meet and was eyeing a
chance, to improve on this per-
formance in next week's tourna-
ment. Either Captain Wayne Mil-
ler or sophomore Tony Feiock will
replace Bay for the Wolverines.
Not Bright
If Johannesen does not recover
from his injury in time to wrestle
in the NCAAs, Doug Horning will
substitute for him. The outlook
for Johannesen is not bright. Keen
says that he doubts if his third
place Big Ten finisher will be able
to see any action.
Stowell, who finished third in
the Big Ten meet, is a question-
able entrant in the NCAAs also.
Keen is not going to enter anyone
in Stowell's place in the event he
does not wrestle.
The Wolverines, however, have
been plagued with injuries on
other occasions this season and
survived. At the beginning of the
season, Dave Dozeman,who fin-
ished third in last year's NCAA
meet, was seriously injured and
was lost for the entire season. Cal
Jenkins missed most of the cam-
paign with a badshoulder.mDe-
spite these heavy losses, the mat-
ment were undefeated in Big Ten
competition and captured the con-
ference title.
Burdened
A lot of the weight has shifted
to the back of Big Ten champion
Ralph Bahna who will be out to
add a national crown to his
credits. Bahna who wrestled at
123-pounds in the Big Ten meet
is working to get his weight down
to the 115-pound class which is
an added weight in the NCAA
meet. If Bahna does not wrestle
at 115 pounds, he will grapple at
RICK BAY
CHRIS STOWELL
BILL JOHANNESEN
123 and Mike Palmisano will be
the Michigan entrant in the light-
weight bracket. Sophomore Tino
Lambros will wrestle at 123
pounds if Bahna weighs in' at 115.
In the 137-pound weight class,
either the Big Ten fourth place
finisher, Cal .Jenkins, or senior
Gary Wilcox will be representing
the Wolverines. Wilcox, who fin-
ished sixth in last year's NCAA
tournament, is giving Jenkins a
real battle this week for a berth
on Michigan's NCAA squad.
Strong Contender
Lee Deitrick is considered a
strong contender for the national
title at 147-pounds as a result of
his title winning performances in
the Big Ten meet. Deitrick is ex-
pected to find his toughest oom-
petition from Iowa State's Veryl
Long who finished third in last
season's tournament.
Joe Arcure represents the mat-
men at 177-pounds and Big Ten1
runnerup Bob Spaly will grapple
in the 191-pound weight class.
This is the other additional weight
class in the NCAA meet and
gives Spaly a chance to wrestle
with men that are closer to his
own weight. During the season he
fought heavier wrestlers in the
open-ended heavyweight class.
Form Sheet
In the lightweight class, defend-
ing champion Arthur Maugham
of Moorhead State will be top-
seeded. His biggest challenge will
be from Pittsburgh's Mike John-
son, who was runnerup last year.
Iowa's Big Ten champion Norm
Parker has, according to Keen,
as good a chance as anyone to
take all the marbles in the 130-
pound division.
Lewis Kennedy who won the
Big Ten title at 137-pounds for
Minnesota is expected to make a
strong showing. Kennedy finished
fourth in the 1963 national meet
when he wrestled at 130-pounds.
A battle between Gordon Hass-
man of Iowa State and Rahim
Javinmard of UCLA shapes up in
the 157-pound category. Last year,
Hassman placed third at 167-
pounds and Javinmard was fourth
in the 157-pound weight class.
Jack Flasche of Colorado State
won an NCAA title in the 1962
tournament at 157-pounds but is
wrestling at 167-pound3 this year.
Air Force's Terry Isaacson is off
the gridiron and will be trying
to improve on his fourth place
Dean Lahr of Colorado will
settle for the same finish as last
year when he grabbed the 177-
pound title in the 1963 meet.
Spaly who finished fifth in the
heavyweight division last year will
find tough competition in Ron
Parr of Wisconsin who finished
third to Michigan's 191-pound
1963 NCAA champion, Jack
Barden.
The tournament will run from
March 26-28 at Ithaca, N.Y.
The top teams in the meet are
Oklahoma State, Iowa State-and
Michigan if they survive the in-
jury jinx.

NEW YORK (P)-Army's brave
old basketball team, led by soph-
omore Mike Silliman, faces the
favored Braves of Bradley in a
semifinal game of the National
Invitation Tournament tonight
and the Cadets' coach figures they
have a chance 'because we've ma-
tured."
"I didn't think we'd be able to
do that well in close games," said
Taylor Tates Locke, the Army
mentor, yesterday. "But the boys
have surprised me."
Locke's unseeded charges have
surprised others in the 12-team
tourney, including Duquesne and
St. Bonaventure.
They downed the Dukes. 67-65
in overtime in Tuesday night's
quarter-final and the Bonnies 64-
62 in a first round game Saturday.
