C. DEAN Michigan's Wolverines o p e n their home hockey season against WCHA and Big Ten opponent Minnesota tonight and tomorrow night at the Coliseum. Although Michigan is the de- fending NCAA champion, this sea- son-has been singled out by Coach Al Renfrew as a rebuilding year since graduation and ineligibility took a heavy toll from last year's championship aggregation. Minnesota, on the other hand, has almost an entirely veteran team returning, compared to the Wolverines' lack of depth. Falkman Returns One of the stars of this veteran Minnesota team is All-American wingman Craig Falkman. Falk- man was fourth in the WCHA in scoring last year with 12 goals and 12 assists. Falkman is a strong aggressive skater and is co-cap- tain.

Lothrop al- lowed an average of 4.0 goals a game against association compe- tition while making 526 saves. His save average was .892, good enough for a fifth place among conference goalies. Other Gophers Other experienced Gophers who will probably see action this week- end include: Doug Woog and Lorne Grosso at centers; Dick Haigh, Jerry Edman, Pat Fur- long and Frank Zywieck, playing defensemen; and Mike ,Alm, Dick Bloom, Gary Hokanson, Bruce Larson, Roy Nystrom, Mark Ry- man and John Torrel at the for- wards. Last year Michigan won the "Pipe of Peace" trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the Michigan-Minnesota hockey ser- ies, as the Wolverines took three of the four games played.

Only 12 members of the team, however, can figure in the team's scoring. Three will per- form for exhibition. Missing from the squad will be John Hamilton and Alex Frecska, both temporarily sidelined with injuries. Frecska is recuperating from a recent apendectomy, and Hamilton was operated on last Tuesday for damaged cartilege in his knee. Hamilton is one of Michigan's trampoline trio which finished one-two-three in the NC- AA meet last year, as he finished second. Frecska is an all-around performer. Erwin Is Champ First and third trampoline spots in the nationals went to Captain Gary Erwin and Fred Sanders, whom Loken calls good bets to finish high in this weekend's meet. Erwin has won the event in this meet for three consecutive years and is shooting for a grand slam. merit watching. "This'll be a test for the sophomores," says Loken. "We'll be able to see what they can do." Fuller Twins Among the large, promising crop are Chip and Phil Fuller, identical twins who specialize in floor exercise and vaulting. Chris VandenBroek and Gary Vander- Voort will compete in the all- around event. VanderVoort was the Illinois all-around state high school champion two years ago. Rounding out the travel roster are Ken Williams on the parallel bars, side horse competitor Art Baessler, and Cliff Chilver and Dick Stone working on the still rings. "The meet," Loken says, "is what we call a small NCAA." The reason for this is the number of teams competing. Every Big Ten team with the possible exception of Wisconsin will send teams to the meet, as will almost every college, large or small in the entire Midwest. According to Loken, the teama which should provide the most competition are Southern Illinois (last year's winner), Iowa State, Iowa, Michigan State and Illinois. "It'll be a stimulating weekend in terms of seeing what the othex teams have," Loken comments. The Wolverines have been Big Ten champs in gymnastics for the last four years, and won the NCAAs in 1963. However, the Maize and Blue were never able to capture first in this Midwest Open. "This year," Loken joyously says, "We're aiming to take first place." TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine WILFRED MARTIN place title for the past five years, lost once early in the season and then waltzed through the play- offs to the second place title. After the lines were shoveled out so that bare earth could be seen under the four inches of snow, the game got underway and both teams played evenly until the SAE's connected on a long bomb from George Skaff to John Artz. Artz got behind the defender and was completely alone when he caught the ball in the end zone. With less than a minute left in the second half SAE picked off a Tom Kowalik pass at midfield. The Lions then used the same play that had clicked before, Skaff to Artz, for their last play of the half. Artz gathered the ball in at the' in the third quarter when Skaff completed his third touchdown pass of the day to Al Andrews. The extra point was knocked down in the end zone by John Hawley to make the final score 20-0. Kappa Sigma was never able to muster a sustained offensivel drive and threatened only once. The SAE team, which had a string of 83 consecutive football wins in both the A and B divi- sions before being upended by Tau Delta Phi, still boasts the most outstanding grid record in all of the intramural divisions. The stunning defeat of the SAE's just four weeks ago was accomplish- ed by two long drives, something the Kappa Sigs couldn't muster 'yesterday.

IChristmas1_ ONE FULL YEAR 52 WEEKLY ISSUES ONLY $2loo* By BOB CARNEY Take Michigan's 1963 wrestling squad, add one year of experience and one Big Ten championship, and you've got Michigan's 1964 wrestling squad. Almost, anyway. Although Coach Cliff Keen's conference champs have suffered graduation losses at three posi- tions, he will have six of eight starters returning, and two of these are Big Ten champions. Keen, in his fortieth season as Michigan coach, sends his defend- ing Big Ten champs against Penn State in the season opener on December 12. Foremost among the losses suf- fered through graduation is that of Ralph Bahna, who was crown- ed Big Ten champion last year in the 123 pound class. Along with Bahna, graduation claimed senior captain Wayne Mil- ler who held down the 157 pound spot for the Wolverines. Miller placed fourth in his class at the conference meet last spring. Wilcox Gone Also missing from the Michigan lineup this year will be Gary Wilcox, who was runnerup to the Big Ten champion in the 137 pound division. Overshadowing these losses, however, and making the Wolver- ines once again the team to beat in the Big Ten, is the return of Rick Bay, Lee Deitrick and Dave Dozeman. Bay is this year's team captain, and the defending Big Ten cham- pion in the 167 pound class and champ in the 157 pound competi- tion as a sophomore, Bay has yet to lose a match in a Big Ten dual meet. neck injury prior to last season's opener and was sidelined for the entire season, will also be back in action. As a sophomore two years ago Dozeman won the 137 pound consolation title, and was expect- ed to be one of the top contend- ers for the conference champion- ship last season. "Dave hasn't recovered complete- ly," says Keen, "and it will be a while before he's able to realize his old form. But he's looking stronger every day." With the return of veterans like these, and with a host of promis- ing sophomores, Keen's matmen will once again be in the thick of the conference title race. No Breathers "But the Big Ten gets tougher every year," says Keen. "We won't have any 'breathers.' I think part of it's due to the fact wrestling has grown so much in recent years." According to Keen, Michigan State, Iowa, and Northwestern will be especially tough. "But there are no weak teams," Keen added. "Our opener against Penn State will also be tough." The lineup that the Wolverines will send up against the veteran Penn State team has yet to be de- I cided. Juggling "We're doing a little juggling," says Keen, referring to the fact that several of the Wolverines may compete in different weight classes this year. But despite the juggling, con- tenders for the starting spots have emerged. In the 123 pound class junior Tino Lambrose is likely to become, Bahna's successor. L a m b r o s e pressed Bahna closely for the starting berth last season, and saw considerable action. The 130 pound spot is still up for grabs. Besides Dozeman, Keen also has Bill Johannesen, who held the post last year, and Jo- hannesen's understudy, Doug Hor- nung. Johonnesen, however, may move up to the 137 pound division. This SPARI would allow Keen to use junior Cal Jenkins, who started there last season, to move up to the 147 pound spot. Another possible starter at the 137 pound spot is Gordon Weeks, a Michigan all- stater who has looked strong thus far. With Jenkins moving into the 147 pound division, Keen may use Deitrick in the 157 pound berth to fill the hole left by Miller. Bay at 167 Rick Bay will once igain hold down the starting spot at 167. Senior Dave Post, who saw action as a 157 pounder last season, may wrestle either 157 or 167. Chris Stowell will return to the 177 pound spot, while Senior Bob Spaly will probably anchor down the heavyweight position. Spaly was runnerup in the Big Ten last season and placed third in the NCAA competition.
