1TX THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATi URDAY, DECEMBER 5, Winter Sports Season Opens with Icers ACTION RULES THE DAY-And there was plenty of it on the ice of the Michigan Coliseum here last night as Michigan's high- scoring Wolverines rocked the Tigers of Colorado College, 8-2. Steve Bochen (5) of the Wolverines (left) is set up outside of the Colorado goal mouth waiting for a pass in the second period. Bochen scored later on a shot from a mixup outside the net. The action at mid-ice came late in the game as the Wolver- ines were short a man and ragged the puck to kill the penalty. Gerry Kolb (upper left) looks on as Larry Gilbertson (15) of -Daily-David Giltrow The Wolverines were short a man on five different occasions, but managed to escape without having been scored upon. One of the big reasons for Michigan's success thus far this season has been the work of the defensemen, led by captain Bobbie Watt. Here (right) Watt throws a hip into Brian Bleakney (8) of Colorado as Bleakney attempts to lift a shot past Jim Coyle. Last night was the first time in three years that Michigan fans have been able to see a Wolverine squad of powerhouse potential. Tonight, the two teams will play a rematch on the Coliseum Ice. Colorado tries to break up a short pass from Lunghammer (7) intended for Bob White.

' Midway through the period, Bill Kelly broke loose down the left boards, tralied by Steve Bochen across the ice. Kelly passed back to Steve Bochen who rifled a shot past Young to give the Wolverines the lead they never relinquished. Sloppy Play The remainder of the period was marked by sloppy play by both teams. The Wolverines were able to keep pressure on the Tigers, who were playing their first' game of the season, but couldn't get any shots off. After Michigan had ripped the three quick goals through Young in the second period, the Tigers fell apart and the Wolverines' romped at will through a col- lapsed defense. Gerry Kolb and White broke away twice within 35 seconds, with Kolb getting solo. shots at the Colorado goalie both times. The first time, Young shut the door, but, Kolb wasn't to be denied. On his second dash up the ice, he faked the Tiger netminder to his' knees and tucked a shot into the corner of the net for Michigan's sixth score. Bochen Scores Before Young could catch his breath, Bochen picked the puck out of a scramble in front of the net and laid home the seventh goal, only 37 seconds after Kolb's. Play slowed somWhat in the third frame as each team tallied once. Mateka, who had opened the scoring, wrapped it up for the Wol- verines 17 seconds after coming on the ice from the penalty box. With Michigan a man short, Ma- teka broke away and beat the Tiger goalkeeper to the corner. Lettinig up a little with the big lead, the Wolverines let Jerry Maiko slip through the defens* and past Coyle to. drop the game's last tally into the net. The Tigers were ready to pick up a few more consolation goals with a minute and a half left in the game. Goalie Coyle suffered a bruised knee in a pileup and had , to leave the game. The Wolverines, who carry no spare netminder, called on de- fenseman'John Palenstein to guard the goalmouth-minus pads. But Michigan kept the visitors checked at mid-ice and didn't allow a shot on goal in the closing seconds. Coyle is expected to be ready for tonight's return engagementI with the Tigers, as Michigan hopes to sweep the series from the in- vaders and keep a clean league record. TERRY MILLER ... captain leads 'M' in opener 'M' Gymnasts To Compete In Midwest Tourney Today It's Elliott vs. Elliott If Pete Gets Illi*ni Job ,. ., By FRED KATZ Associate Sports Editor It. would create a ticklish situ- ation but Bump Elliott is all for younger brother Pete taking the head football coaching job at Il- linois if and when it's offered. "Actually, I don't even know whether Pete's a candidate for the job," said the 34-year-old Michi- gan head coach. "All I know is what has been rumored. I haven't talked to him about it." Pete is reported to be one of two ex-Michigan stars in line to replace Rya Eliot, who has just relinquished his coaching duties after an 18-year career at Illinois. The other supposed nominee is Dave Nelson, coach at Delaware, who is co-author (with Iowa's Forrest Evashevski) of the wing-T formation. What's Best "My only consideration is what is best for Pete," said Bump. If he can improve himself professional- ly by moving from California to Illinois, he naturally has my full support." However, Bump doesn't want to give the impression that he would. enjoy being pitted against his brother. "I'd certainly hate to compete against him," is his natural re- action. If Pete does join Bump in the Big Ten, their two teams would meet in Michigan Stadium Nov. 5 next season. And it would be the first time the two men ever would have competed against each other formally. Friendly Rivalry "Of course, we have a friendly rivalry whenever we compete in anything," reveals Bump. "For instance, Pete hates to lose to me in golf because he's a lot better than I am. But we're close enough that there have never been any problems." Pete has not denied that he might be interested in taking the Champaign, Ill. job, only 50 miles from his hometown of Blooming- ton, althqugh he says he is happy at California. A 12-letter man for the Wolver- ines (four each in football, bas- ketball and golf), Pete has coached the Golden Bears the past three years. His record at Berkeley is 1-9, and 2-8. Only one year has expired on his present three-year contract. The announcement of Eliot's successor is expected to be made not later than Dec. 16 by Illini Athletic Director Doug Mills. By CLIFF MARKS Michigan's gymnastics team has converged en masse on Chicago for today's Midwest Open featur- ing many top stars from the Big Ten in a one-day marathon tour- nament. The action begins at 9 a.m. with preliminaries and ends around 10:30 p.m. with an afternoon ses- ssion in between. It will give the Wolverine contenders their first chance to prove themselves against outside competition. Accomplished gymnasts such as Don Tonry, leader of last year's Big Ten champs, Illinois, will pro- vide a stern test for Michigan in its attempt to win the team title. illipois Still Strong Although Tonry will be com- peting unattached, Illinois still has "Ray Hadley and company," as Michigan Coach Newt Loken phrased it, to keep Illini hopes high.

IKRAM suggests this week: 9 Come in and see our ines an opportunity to compare with other Big Ten squads. Michigan, which will be trying to improve on last year's third place finish, will have all-around men Rich Montpetit, Al Stall, and Wolf Dozauer, top three finishers in Wednesday's intra-squad meet. Feinberg Adds Depth The Wolverines also have Barry Feinberg in the high bar to add depth as he surprised many with his finest Michigan peformance in that same meet. Jim Brown and Bill Skinner will add team strength in tumbling as they were third and fourth re- spectively in last year's NCAA tourney. Loken calls this team "one which is shaping up quite well. We're ready and hopes are high." A few members of the freshman squad also went along to compete unattached along with Ron Munn, the Wolverines' best trampolinist who is ineligible this semester. Munn will be a top contender for i n di v i d u a 1 trampoline honors based on previous performances. By TOM WITECKI Michigan will be seeking its first victory of the season tonight when it opens its 1959-60 home basket- ball schedule against Drake at 8 p.m. in the Yost Barn. Wolverine Coach Bill Perigo in- dicated he will give sophomore forward Scott Maentz his first starting assignment and move John Tidwell back to a guard position. "The thing we lack the most is rebounding strength and we es- pecially need it against a tall club like Drake," said Perigo. "Al- though Maentz has been practic- ing for only two weeks, he is strongand quick on the back- boards," he added. Played End The reason for Maentz late start is that the rugged yearling played end this fall for Bump Elliott's corps. "Maentz has yet to get his legs under him on the hardwood; thus, it is doubtful whether he can play anywhere near a full 40 minute game," said Perigo. "However, while he is in there, we are hoping that his strength under the boards will help us get our fast break offense going." Also, Maentz is not lacking in talent to hit the strings. He showed this in the opener at Pittsburgh where he was the team's third leading scorer with 10 points. The Wolverines' inability to clear the boards quickly enough against Pittsburgh was a major factor in the 73-57 loss, as Michi- Fulhner Wins; Pounds Webb LOGAN, Utah (A") - Champion Gene Fullmer pounded challenger Spider Webb with a devastating body attack last night as the Mormon Sunday school teacher retained his NBA middleweight drown on a unanimous decision after 14 gruelling rounds. gan's fast-break never did get in forwards 6'5" Bob Mueller and 6'4" lamy, Ohio State's 6'9" Jerry Lucas gear.

Globetrotters add to Winning Streak; Put on Entertainment for Crowd By DAVE LYON Associate Sports Editor The Harlem Globetrotters won a basketball game last night at Ann Arbor High gymnasium, but if the uncertainty of the game's result had been the only incentive for attendance, many of the 2,500 spectators probably would not have shown. Since the Trotters have a win- ning streak of 460-plus games still going, the outcome of one of their games is hardly an issue any more. So promoter Abe Saperstein, who began all this Globetrotter business 33 years ago, has provided top-flight entertainment to delight crowds before and at halftime of each Trotter contest. Last night the spectators saw some fast, sparkling women's in- door tennis played by Althea Gib- son, one of the all-time greats, and young, vivacious Karol Fa- geros. Miss Fageros is a top-flight performer, and put up a stiff bat- tle before losing to Miss Gibson, former Wimbledon champion, eight games to six. That was the pre-game ,enter- tainment.
