This is it!
Michigan's hockey team has
been working all season to get into
the WCHA playoffs, and all of
their hopes rest on this weekend's
home series with Michigan Tech.
Action will begin at 8 p.m. at
the Coliseum both tonight and to-
morrow night, while over in East
Lansing the Spartans tackle Colo-
rado College in an effort to catch
the Wolverines. Michigan is pres-
ently in fourth place by .021_
Should both teams sweep their
games the race will be thrown into
a tie, which would result in Mich-
igan' State receiving the fourth l
Michigan earlier in the season
when the Wolverines trounced the
Huskies by a score of 6-1. In that
game Michigan was never behind
and scored in every period. The
night before, however, it was a
different story as Michigan was
blasted off of the ice by a fired-
up Huskie squad, 10-2.
In the Michigan win, it was
goalie Greg Page who sparked the
Wolverines to victory, as he cane
up with one of his best games o
the season, according to both
coaches. Michigan Coach Al Ren-
frew is relying on Page to stoi
the Huskie offense again this
weekend.

explained. "He is also a great
competitor and will perform!
equally well regardless of the
competition. He doesn't have the
build for a diver, but he sure
makes up for it in his determina-
tion and competitive spirit."
In Kimball's opinion Booth-
ban's best dives are twisters.
Boothman added, "I like doing
twister dives best and I know that
I can usually count on them com-
ing out right."
Early Start
Boothman is originally from
Arizona where he lived until he
was 12 and moved to Royal Oak.
He started swimming at the age
of three which is why he initially
went out for the Royal Oak swim-
ming team, so he could stay in
the water.
The first time Boothman went
off a diving board was at the age
of five, but as ne says, "that was
feet first and those kind don't
count. I used to like swimming
very much, because down in Ari-
zona you could swim for the en-
tire day for only a dime. It was so
hot, who would want to do any-
thing else?"
Boothman might be a very im-
portant figure in tonight's meet
with Indiana at Bloomington.
Swimming Coach Gus Stager feels
that "diving is going to play a
real decisive role in the meet and
could determine which way it will
go." The meet will not have tow-
er diving, but in its place will be
one-meter diving, in addition to
the regular three-meter event.
This will be Boothman's last
year of eligibility after which he
plans to go professional, perform-
ing stunt shows and giving diving
lessons in resorts.

only Indiana to defeat to wear the
Big Ten crown outright for the
fifth straight year. The Hoosiers
will attempt to upset Michigan's
applecart when they invade the
main gym of the IM building at
2 p.m. tomorrow,
"Indiana will be a formidable
foe," commented. Coach Newt
Loken yesterday. "They boast a
3-3 conference record with very
impressive wins over Illinois and
Minnesota."
Small Squad
Coach Loken's 16-man squad
probably looks quite formidable to
the Hoosiers. Indiana's gymnasts
are so few in number that they
must certainly qualify as the bus-
iest athletes around. Their roster
had diminished to four when they
faced the Illini and diver Jim Ev-
erroad was loaned bythe swim
team, to compete in the trampo-
line.
The skeleton Hoosier squad is
certainly not worried about an
all-around performer. Although
Joel Sultin, an Evanston, Ill.,
sophomore, is the regular all-
around man, the small squad is
forced to spread themselves thin,
and Jim Woodward, Ron Mooar
and Bob Lilly also labor in num-
erous events.
The Hoosiers' tiny team still has
some specialists, however, Frank
Knuckles, a senior from Indian-
apolis, stars in trampoline and
long horse. ,Rick Earley, who di-
vides his time between diving with
the swimming team and gymnas-
tics, is top man in floor exercise.
No Push Over
"Indiana's squad is no push
over," is Coach Loken's appraisal.
"Their side horse star, Keith Rug-
gles, is a good performer. He'll
give' us some real competition in
that event."
The meet on Saturday will be
the last chance to see the Mich-
igan gymnasts in competition. The
Maize and Blue, captained by
World Champion trampoline star
Gary Erwin, boast an impressive
list of champion performers.
