~[iv LAST DUAL MEET A BIG ONE:
I nvaS1Ofi Swimmers Challenge Indiana

By BOB CARKNEE
Michigan's undefeated matmen
put their flawless dual-meet rec-
ord on the line for the last time
this season when they host the
highly regarded Michigan State
Spartans in Yost Field House at
3 p.m. tomorrow.
That is, most of Michigan's un-
defeated wrestlers squad put their
perfect record on the line tomor-
row. There may be a few ab-
sentees.
Coach Cliff Keen attempted to
list a starting lineup yesterday,
but before he had finished, there
were more "possible" and "prob-
able" starters than there were
certainties.
The reason for all the uncer-
tainty?
Four injuries incurred last week
against Iowa threaten to side-
line four Wolverine regulars to-
morrow.
One, Two, Three
First, at 157, Lee Deitrick's re-
injured knee may convince Keen
to go with sophomore Jim Kam-
man instead.
Second, at 167, Captain Rick
Bay's knee has also been re-injur-
ed, and his recovery or lack of will
be the deciding factor between
starting Bay and Dave Post.
Third, at heavyweight, a sim-
ilar recurrence of an ankle in-
jury to Bob Spaly has made him
a "possible" starter. If Spaly is
unable to wrestle, Mike Kohler
will hold down that spot.t

Six of State's eight starters are
past state champions.
Keen referred to several of the
Spartans as "not just State cham-

Schmidt touched out Roble in the

ond, but Robie had swum in two

Stager expects the meet to be
much closer than the Ann Arbor
edition, and said earlier this week
that the final scores could be
just one or two points apart.
Upon returning to Michigan, the
swimmers will have but a short

By BUD WILKINSON
The pressures and responsibili-
ties of replacing an all-star goalie
on a defending NCAA champion-
ship hockey team can be a tough
burden for a sophomore.
This task has been faced by
Greg Page, who became Michigan's
man behind the mask after the
graduation of NCAA All-Tourna-
ment goaltender Bob Gray.
Breaking into college hockey
can be tough for a goalkeeper if
he has had nothing but high school
experience behind him. This is
especially true for an American
breaking into WCHA play where
most of the players are Canadians
with several years of experience
in beating a goalie.
Butterflies
"I was pretty scared at the be-
ginning of the season," Page ad-
mitted, "especially against Min-
nesota. I didn't know how I'd do
or the team would do."
Another factor which puts a lot
of pressure on a young goaltender
is that the fans are prone to blame
the goalie for the team's losses.
In explaining his reaction to the
crowd,_ Page said, "When I know
I'm doing my best out there and
the fans begin to complain it
starts to' get to me. When your
own fans give it to you, it's bad.
The fans just don't seem to realize
sometimes that I want to win even
more than they do."
Gains Aplomb
Page has gained confidence and
experience throughout the season.
r According to Coach Al Renfrew,
"Hewas shaky at first, but he has
been improving steadily. In some
games he has played as well as
a goalie could possibly be expected
to play. It's pretty tough for a
goalie to stop a team once it has
gained momentum. Our defense
has also been spotty and at times
has not given Greg good protec-
tion."
The coaches of several of Michi-
gan's opponents have also been
impressed with Greg's play. After
seeing his play in the Boston
H o li d a y Tournament, Boston
Coach Jack Kelley described Page
as "as fine an opponent goalie as
I have seen." Following his team's
losses to the Wolverines, Minne-
sota-Duluth coach John Romano
commented that Page "played two
great games and made some fan-
tastic saves on a lot of tough
shots."
Self-Reliant
Page is more sure of himself
than he was at the beginning of
the season but he admits that he
"still lacks a little confidence.
However, since the first series I've
never gone out on the ice thinking
we wouldn't win. I guess I de-
pended on the rest of the team too
nmuch at first. I counted on them
to do the work and keep the puck
away, but I've learned to rely more
on myself."
Carrying a large share of the
responsibility for the team's vic-
tories or defeats builds up a lot of
tension in Page's mind before the
games..
"I used to spend the whole day
thinking about the game and
worrying about it. Now I don't
think about it until just before
the game, but I get very tight and
nervous then because I know I
have to hold them.
Card Shark
"To relax I usually play cards.
I haven't been in the league long
enough to think about each player
and what he will do, so I just try
to forget about the game."
Greg is still not satisfiecd with
his improvement, however, and
feels that there are still several
facets of his game which need
work, "Something's still missing,
and I've got to keep trying to find
out what it is."
For a netminder there is really
no way to practice except in a
game situation, but Page jumps
rope and plays paddleball to stay
in shape and improve his reflexes
in the off season.
"Paddlebal is similar to playing
goal in the sense that you have
an object coming back fast at you.'
It also teaches you to play the
angles."
Shirks Off Pressure
In spite of the pressures aiid
demands made on him, Greg en-
joys playing goal.
"I like the action around the
nets especially. The worst times
are when our guys are dominating

the action down at the other end
and I get cold; then all of a sud-
den someone comes in on me.
"Then sometimes when we're
behind, it gets frustrating to stay
in the nets. I want to get down
there and score."
Page, unlike most hockey play-
ers who learned to skate soon after
they learned to walk, didn't play
hockey until he was in the seventh
grade.
"All the kids in the neighbor-
hood played hockey and wanted
me to play too. I told them I didn't
know how to skate, but they said
that that was okay because I could
play goal. That's where I've been
ever since."
