TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1961 THE 1MIC~HIGAN DfAILY IMA04" 9yum r aaa a+ y aaLaa y.V ('tY L1' 1L a. __ + PAGE SE~ V I I m The Inside Corner with Dave Andrews Beating the Drum THE MICHIGAN HOCKEY TEAM turned pro Friday night, and from all reports and observations it agreed with them. Not pro per se-the Michigan Athletic Department, the Big Te and the NCAA frown upon that sort of stuff-but they came clos enough so the real thing is hard to distinguish. n All the lights and frivolity of the big time were there in De- troit's immaculate Cobo Hall Convention Arena. The Michigan Marching Band provided the music, the Ann Arbor "Hockettes," complete with their weather-beaten scratchy record, added a little sex and managed to chop up the ice, and the appearance of two Michigan "cheerleaders" of the female variety opened a few eyes. It was quite a spectacle. The minor difficulties, like the mai event playing second fiddle while Gov. John B. Swainson and othe assorted dignitaries took their red carpet bows, didn't seem to bothe the some 7,700 onlookers who had found their way down the maze o escalators and ramps to the arena. The official attendance was announced as 6,675, but there wer more than that there. It was a surprisingly good turnout when one considers that Detroit's Junior Red Wings attracted their best crowd in history (over 5,000 paid) just a short distance away in Olympia. Uncol*egiate* BUT SOMEHOW, the atmosphere wasn't collegiate. The seats, those plush soft ones more commonly found in theatres than at sport- Ing events, and though the band placed "The Victors" and "Sing Sing, Sing," several times, the place was dead. The goal lights didn' even flash red. Instead, when someone scored all that flashed was a battery of white lights. The impression was difficult to avoid that it was all more of ar exhibition for curious petroiters and a reunion for Michigan alumni "This, isn't like the Red Wing games," one socialite remarked "the crowds at Olympia are so loud and boisterous. It's nice in here.' But for promoter Tommy Emmet, a long-time hockey bug, the evening was a success. Reports had it that he and Michigan needed 5,000 customers to break even. The extra 1,675 paid at anywhere from $1 to $3 per head should have, made the en- deavor worth while. The talk is that they'll try the same stunt again next year. All of which brings us around to the point of said journalistic effort. The people in Detroit were impressed with the caliber of hockey the collegiate teams showed, despite the sedate atmosphere. The Michigan faculty people who drove the 40 miles to Detroit to take part in the event were impressed, and Michigan Coach Al Renfrew and his teain were impressed. The game was the same. The only thing changed was the sur- roundings and the addition of the band, all of which means that Michigan could stage the same show in Ann Arbor, if there was a de- cent place to play. The same might well be true of basketball. Neither Respectable... NEIER ANCIENT YOST FIELD HOUSE or the Michigan Coli- seum comes close to meeting the standards of respectable arenas for the basketball and hockey teams. The Coliseum, besides being cramped and post filled, doesn't even offer a reasonable size dressing room for the visiting team. The spectator facilities are horrible as anyone who has visited the rink will testify. Reserve seats are negligible. In order to get a general admission vantage point of any worth the fan must arrive and camp in the cold rink somewhere near an hour before faceoff time. It's no 'small wonder that games in Ann Arbor fail to draw De- troit fans. The Coliseum chases away Ann Arborites and all but the most loyal student hockey fans. Yet it seems a little fantastic to hope for a new rink. In 25 years maybe, or if the Coliseum burns down (hum?), but to even consider such a thing now is out of the question. The Athletic Department budget couldn't stand it and consideration of one would stir up such a fiscal storm in Lansing that even mention of a new rink is taboo. But it's fun to dream. Days until Christmas pass faster that way. Maybe some day for Christmas Santa or some well-wishing alumni will present Michigan with a rink that could seat comfortably the some 10,000 fans that Michigan Tech, Denver, Minnesota and Michigan State would pull. It might even handle the smaller crowds that North Dakota, Colorado College and Toronto attract. And who knows, maybe even a few of those Detroit socialites might even cruise up the expressway to take in the supposedly "nicer' collegiate atmosphere. COR RIERE, RHODES, WILCOX EXCI Matmen Down Special To The Daily ANNAPOLIS-Three pins, two of them by sophomore light- weights Carl Rhodes and Gerry Wilcox and the other by* Captain n Don Corriere, powered the Michi- e .gan wrestling team to a 21-11 triumph over a strong Navy squad here yesterday.

M' Starts Fast Coach Cliff Keen's Wolverines struck early and hard, with Rhodes opening the action with a pin in n { the 123-lb. match.

In an exhibition match, Michi- gan's Nick Armelagos lost to Mid- die GarynYoung, 6-4. It was a 130-lb. contest. FitzGerald Pleased Michigan assistant coach Den- nis FitzGerald was pleased with the Wolverines' showing. "We got an early Jump on them and heiK~ the lead. The sophomores, again did well, especially in the lighter weights. "(Mike) Vuocolo did not wrestle because he stretched a muscle in the Hofstra meet," he said. Vuo- cola wrestled at 177-lbs. against the Flying Dutchmen. "Fritz Kellerman turned in his usual workmanlike performance, and Jim Keen and Wayne Miller lost close matches to good oppo- nents in the last minute." "We were pleased with thenwin, especially with the sophomores, who won against good competi- tion," he added. This weekend, the Wolverines will open their Big Ten slate as they travel to Bloomington to take on Indiana's Hoosiers.

Wichita's guards collected 41 points between them. The loss was Purdue's first. Wisconsin put on a show of cage power by subduing Washington, 91-63. In other Big Ten games with intersectional rivals the Indiana Hoosiers downed North Carolina by a 76-70 count, and Iowa handed South Dakota State a 69-62 deci- sion. Notre Dame couldn't quite match the quintet from Nebraska, the Cornhuskers winning 65-61. Detroit rolled by Xavier 88-73, and Cincinnati slipped by Drake 60-59. McGrath nipped Keen by a 5-3 score, and Meinig edged Miller, 3-2. McGrath was seeded No. 1 in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wres- tling Tournament last year. Corriere Wing Corriere put a stop to the Mid- dies' uprising, however, as he pin- ned his opponent with a pancake at 7:30. In the 177-1b. match, Navy's Uber pinned Bill Florence with a half-nelson and arm bar.
