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.

Bob Williamson, an Indiana freestyle sprinter, won the 100-yard race two weeks ago for the Hoosier's only victory in six freestyle events. Nevertheless, Coach Gus Stager is ready to make last minute changes in his lineup if he feels that going all out to win a free- style event, such as the 800-yard relay, will bring in points neces- sary to win. A close contest is expected in the backstroke, where Indiana's Pete Hammer and Michigan's cap- tain Ed Bartsch and Russ Kingery will meet. The three have posted the second, third and fourth fast- est times in the Big Ten this season, respectively. Carl Robie, the Wolverines' sil- ver medal-winning Olympian, will take on Fred Schmidt, who fin- ished right behind him at Tokyo. Schmidt touched out Roble in the Ann Arbor meet by :00.15 sec- ond, but Robie had swum in two events earlier in the meet, taking a first and a second. 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 rest before leaving for the West- ern Conference Championships. / N cAir 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.

Open All Day Saturday Visit The Dascola Barbers (near Michigan Theatre) c or The U of M Barbers (North U. near Kresge's) 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." conditioned . Now renting for Aug. '65 S.
