THE MICHIG~AN DAILY Wolverines, Toronto To Clash at Cobo Hall By ED HEISER Tonight the Wolverine hockey team will play the first of a two game series in the newest hockey rink in Michigan. The Wolverines will travel to Detroit's Cobo Hall to face the Toronto Blues in the first hockey game ever played in the modern structure. Many dignitaries, in- cluding Mayor Louis Miriani of Detroit, will be on hand to see the two teams do battle. The game will also mark the beginning of what is hoped will be an annual affair at Cobo Hall. Tonight, and each year after, the winning team will be given pos- session of a huge trophy to keep until the following year's game. The $200 trophy is in honor of John Hettche, one of the found- ers of amateur hockey. Hettche, connected with many facets of the sports world, was also the racing. I-M ROUNDUP: Beta's, Wenley Cop I-Mwrestling Title commissioner of Detroit for some years. This will mark only the third time that a Michigan hockey team has played in Detroit. On the two previous times, the Wolverines played at Olympia Stadium, once against a visiting Russian team, and once against the U.S. Olym- pic hockey team. Familiar Opponent Michigan has already played Toronto on the Blues' home ice and beat them 4-1. Wolverine Coach Al Renfrew is not over- confident, however, and he admits "Toronto has a very fast line, and (Bill) Kennedy and (Mike) Elik are two of the best players we'll face all season." Michigan will probably start with the same forward line that has been so successful in the first three games. Gordon Wilkie will be at center with Ron Coristine and Red Berenson at the wings. The second line will have Bill Kelly, Larry Babcock, and Tom Pendle-; bury working together as a unify while Gerry Kolb, John McGoni- gal, Carl White and alternate Al Hinnegan will be on the third line. Kelly was especially instrumen- tal in the last weekend's sweep of the Michigan Tech series with his persistent forechecking and all- around good playing. Renfrew, to say the least, was highly pleased with his play. Don Rodgers and Ross Morri- son will start at the defensive po- sitions although Coach Renfrew is somewhat concerned with Rodg- er's ailing wrist which was slight- ly injured in the game last week. Bob Gray will be the starting goalie. The second game of the two game series will be played on the Wolverines' home ice. Last year, the Blues ruined Michigan's home opening by defeating them at the Coliseum. No Soft Touch Toronto played very well in the game at Toronto, although Michi- gan handed them their first de- feat after two previous vetories. The Wolverines will have their hands full tonight as Toronto will be out for revenge, especially in the luxurious surroundings of Co- bo Hall and with a trophy at stake. Tickets are on sale for the game at Cobo Hall at the student price of one dollar. There are also two and three-dollar seats available. The bruising I-M wrestling championships are over for an- other year, with Beta Theta Pi, Delta Upsilon, and Alpha Delta Phi claiming the greater part of the finals. In the 123-lb. class, Theta Xi's Al Black pinned Chuck Mathews of Phi Kappa Psi for that title. The 130-lb. crown went to Tau Epsilon's Bob Blumberg over an ADP representative, Bill Blessing. The DU's dominated the 137- lb. and the 147-lb. classes placing three of the four men. In the for- mer with DU facing DU, Tom Casselman came out on top, best- ing Gary Phipps. The third DU was whipped by Jim Cross of ADP in the latter class. Heavier Classes In the heavier classes, the 157, 167, and heavyweight, the Betas made their showing, placing four men in the six slots. You Kidding? The 157-lb. match will be one to remember, as two Betas, iden- tical twins, Ron and Don Mac- Ritchie tangled for the crown. The boys chose not to reveal the win- ner, however, and since they look so much alike, they managed to keep it secret, just who won. You figure it out. There's a new one Y In One Efar by Brian MacClowry Question of Survival I ALWAYS ENJOY covering a basketball game at Yost Field House. It's not so much the game that keeps me alert, but rather the wondering which is going to collapse first-one of the teams or the ceiling. Normally, I'm not one to worry about fallout, except when I'm sitting in the press box and the fallout is the beams that hold the roof together. Built in 1923 at the instigation of Fielding Yost, the Field H ouse was the only one of its kind in the United States. Today, 38 years later, it still is. The difference now being nobody wants one like it. If Yost were alive he'd probably rename it Angell Hall or something. Being in the Field House is like watching House of Dracula in'Three-D. Only here you don't even need glasses. THE FIELD HOUSE was built as an all purpose structure. But I, for one, still haven't found out what they are. It certainly wasn't built for basketball. In 1923 the Michigan football team was the champion of the West and the fast break was something you used only sparingly during the after game party. I'm not saying you, can't play basketball in it. Ohio State does it every year. It's just that I don't want to have to be the one that has to interview Dave Strack after a bat has deflected a swisher with 11 seconds left and the score tied. Strack Has Problems . . RIGHT NOW, THOUGH, Strack's problem isn't so much mammals as it is trying to attract the more pituitary type of human ani- mal. You know, the 7' guy who can stuff his opponent through the mesh as well as the ball. And certainly, he isn't being helped in his quest any by the dingy Field House environment. It's like bringing your best girl over New Year's Day only to find the house hasn't been cleaned from the night before. Any basketball player who has the grades to enter Michigan, is also qualified to enter any other school in the conference. The question is after being shown the modern, spacious Field Houses at several other Big Ten institutions will he want to come to Michigan and spend his career in something that resembles a cave in a B.C. cartoon? STRACK IS A THIN LIPPED, straight jawed man who is dedicated to bringing basketball respectability back to football oriented Michigan. When he came from Idaho last year he inherited the most inept team in Michigan basketball history. The 1959-60 team won only one Big Ten game in 15 starts, and that one took a record 41 points by John Tidwell. Not one to dodge a question, Strack is a welcome relief from tba we're-Just-going-to-play-them-one-at-a-time type football coaches. But when I asked him about the effects of Yost on his recruiting he seemed unconvincing. "All I can say is that no one ever gave me that as a reason for not coming to Michigan," he said. Recruiting Aid... "OF COURSE," he relented somewhat, "a new field house wouldn't hurt my feelings any. I'd have to be out of my mind to say that a new field house wouldn't help me," he continued. "If I had a show- place I could push it (recruiting) a little more. But it's still difficult to say if any boys were lost because of the field house." The last thing Strack wants is for anyone to think he's making excuses for his team. His club isn't going to win any titles this year but it's not going to finish last either. And Strack even seems more concerned about his responsibility to the students and public than vice-versa. "I think one reason more of the public doesn't come to our games is because of the facilities,"' he says. "But then again it's my responsibility to give Michigan the kind of basketball team that'll show we have inadequate seating." . TELL THE TRUTH I like the newest Michigan coach. And I'd like to see what he could do without the ball and chain tied to his foot. I can imagine a weaker-willed man might find himself out in the middle of Ferry Field about midnight after every loss. First he'd look at the stadium and then at Yost Field House. Then he'd just sit down in the snow and cry. Michigan used to be a leader athletically. I don't mean always a winner necessarily, but in innovation and improvement of facili- ties. Now it seems to be a follower. I guess this classifies me as a liberal but I kind of favor equality. I mean let's let the basketball and track teams sit in the front of the bus too. But somebody up there is going to have to do it. I haven't got enough green stamps.

In the 167-lb. class, Beta's Jim Yost was bested by Phi Delta The- ta's Dave Brazier, while the Beta heavyweight and last year's cham- pion Wally Herrala also went down to defeat at the hands of Alpha Tau Omega's Dave Mongeau. Residence Halls In the Residence Hall division, Wenley House fielded a strong squad to best Huber House for the 1961 crown. Although they did not have many men in the finals, they had many in the semifinals and the quarterfinals and built up a large enough backlog of points to emerge the overall winner. Top Finals Winners in the night's top fin- al matches were Cooley's Mike Madigan, who bested a determin- ed Bob Hassenzahl in the 237-lb. clash, and Adams' Rod Johnson, who utrned the tables on Mike Nash of Van Tyne in the 147-1b. division. In the heavier weights, Johi Lombardi, Michigan House's 167- lb. entry, outclassed Huber's Dan Gussin, and Winchell's Jim Tuck slammed Michigan's Jack Kuz-. minski.

Gotham Bowl: Baylor Bears Meet Utah State By The Associated Press NEW YORK-It will be Utah State's running power against Baylor's versatile air attack in the first Gotham Bowl tomorrow. Utah State.rules a slender fav- orite. Coach John Ralston of Utah State and Coach John Bridgers of Baylor expressed earnest respect for each other's teams at a press conference yesterday. Both thought the Gotham Bowl was destined for success. "Utah State," said Bridgers on the basis of game films, "is sim- ilar to Texac Christian except it has more backfield speed." Since TCU tied Ohio State, the nation's No. 2 team, 7-7, and upset Texas, 6-0, when it was No. 1, this was high praise. "What impressed us most about Baylor was its open offense, the overall speed of their backs, and their overall passing game," said Ralston.

Faculty representatives took the action at the conference's annual winter meetings, which are ex- pected to be climaxed tomorrow by a 6-4 vote favoring renewal of Rose Bowl football contract nego- tiations with the West Coast's Big Five. Marcus L. Plant of Michigan, secretary and spokesman for the facultymen, said of yesterday's ac- tion: "The general feeling now is that it will be easier to recruit with the need factor removed. A lot of facultymen also feel there is a strengthening of the aca- demic level." Football coaches mainly have long opposed grants based on need, which are determined on a family's financial status. They contend it hampered recruiting and threw the area open to poach- ing by outside schools. However, in order to remove the need factor, the package deal included more stringent scholast- ic standards for a majority of Big Ten schools.' Some coaches don't like that, and even a few have indicated they would just as soon have the need factor than what finally they got. To be eligible under the new fi- nancial aid plan, a freshman must show a combination of high school rank and test score which predicts an ability to achieve a 1.7 grade point average in his college work during his first year. Maximum aid remains as the cost of board, room, books, tuition and fees. This is more restrictive than the NCAA program which provides for these items plus $15 a month for incidentals. Considering eligibilities, the fac- ulty representatives ruled that they would be changed to allow an athlete to continue to partici- pate if his average is good. In another decision the board chose not to increase the sizeof traveling squads. Eligibilities Another year of eligibility was granted to these athletes who missed either all, or competed only a limited time, of their varsity seasons because of injury or oth- er reasons: Halfback Larry Ferguson of Iowa, All-Conference lastnyear who jammed his knee in the first game andwas out for the 1961 season. Bob Fell, captain-elect of In- diana's cross country team. Bill Costanza, sophomore Min- nesota football guard. Tony Kehl, sophomore Minne- sota football guard. Dick Enga, Minnesota fullback and captain-elect (he missed 1959 with an injury but played the last two seasons). Duane Petz, Iowa football play- er still out of school as a hard- ship case. RahnrBentley, Michigan State sophomore football player. Tom Yakubowski, Purdue half- back. Charles Migyanka, Michigan State defensive back. Ken Mike, Michigan halfback and tennis player.
