ichigan will be no worse than tied
for the league lead after this weekend's
first-round game, depending on the out-
come of last night's Minnesota-Duluth-
Minnesota game. North Dakota, the
other team with a 4-2 league record is
playing a non-league series against St.
Lawrence this weekend.
LAST NIGHT, the Wolverines were
not intimidated by the noisy Wisconsin
crowd until the third period began. With
the exception of a brief second-period
letdown, the Wolverines had skated
dead-even with Wisconsin for the first
40 minutes.
In the first period, Roger Bourne took
a needless roughing penalty when he
went fist first into a tie-up along the
boards. That brought out Wisconsin's
power play, the WCHA's second best,
and spearheaded by defenseman
Theran Welsh, the Badgers scored first.
Welsh teamed up with Todd Lecy in a
passing combo that eventually set Lecy
free in front of the net, and his low wrist
shot beat Fricker cleanly.
BUT EIGHT minutes later the
Badgers' Bruce Wallace was whistled
off for tripping and that .brought out
Michigan's power play, the league's
first best. After Roy Schultz stopped
several Michigan scoring oppor-
tunities, league-leading scorer Murray
Eaves slid the puck along the goal line
and it trickled in off Schultz' skate
blade, tying the game at 1-1.
Dap Gorowsky gave Wisconsin a 2-1
first period advantage with a blistering
power play opportunities in a row, and
scored on two of them. Eaves scored his
second goal at 16:23 with Jay Mc-
Farlane off, and Dan Lerg followed that
with a goal when he tipped in Tim Man-
ning's point shot with Welsh sitting in
the box two minutes later.
At this point, the Badger defense got
a bit lackadaisical. The Wolverines
were forechecking in the closing
minutes of the period with tenacity.
Eaves copped the hat trick by tipping in
another Manning point shot that
brought Michigan back into the game at
5-4.

All-arounders must
master many skills
By LEE KATTERMAN
He lands from a piked back somersault, takes a small step to steady
himself and stands up with arms outstretched. As the applause begins, he
turns and trots towards his teammates.
"Good job" and "nice set" they say, as he nods to acknowledge their en-
couragement. But there isn't time to contemplate what just past. Before the
meet is over, there will be five more routines with only enough time to con-
centrate on what's ahead.
Such is the lot of the all-around gymnast.
A complete athlete, the all-arounder performs floor exercise, pommel
horse, vaulting, still rings, parallel bars and horizontal bar. To excel, the all-
around performer must display versatility rivaling a decathlon champion.
As all-arounder Bruce Schuchard puts it: "We're expected to be as
strong as any ringman and as flexible as anyone doing floor exercise."
"It takes a perservering individual to be an all-around performer," said
Michigan coach Newt Loken. "There is so much to learn on one event, let
alone six."
Five men on this year's gymnastics team. will handle the all-around
duty. Schuchard returns to the team for his fifth year, having been red-
shirted as a freshman. Junior Chris Van Mierlo and sophomore Al Berger
and Marshall Garfield are also experienced collegiate performers. Joining
them is freshman Milan Stanovich. who comes to Ann Arbor from a strong
program in Virginia.
They all agree that a major challenge facing them is finding the time to
perfect their skills.
"The hardest part (of being an all-arounder) is the commitment you
have to make for year-round training," said Van M ierlo.
To somewhat simplify the rigorous training requirement, Stanovich ex-
plained that the six events can be placed into three categories. Floor exer-
cise and vaulting are the leg' events, pommel horse and parallel bars are
'support' events and still rings and horizontal bar are the 'hanging'events.
Each category emphasizes certain skills and -muscle groups. The
workout is planned to avoid the fatigue and injuries that can result from
overdoing one event.
By now, you might be asking yourself what rewards motivate these
gymnasts to accept the demands of the all-around.
"Well, the obvious one is the possibility of being on a national team or
being in the Olympics," answered Garfield.
While the United States is fprtunate to have specialists and all-arounders
competing in the same meets, elsewhere in the world, only the all-around
performer participates in gymnastics. So to have any chance to compete af-
ter college, one must be an all-arounder..
And in one respect, the specialist faces more pressure during a meet
than the all-arounder.
"They (the specialists) only have one or two opportunities in each
meet," said Berger. "When I mess up one event, there are still others to do
well on (in that meet). The specialist won't get another chance for a week or
more.'
But a new NCAA rule may erode the psychological advantage Berger
described.
In previous years, a team sent two specialists and four all-arounders to
perform on each event, counting the four best scores toward the team total.
Starting this season, the best five scores will count. Most gymnasts agree the
change will result in an extra all-around performer's score being added in.
For further proof of the shifting US. emphasis toward all-around, one
need only look at gymnastics rosters of the last decade.
While eight teams were represented in the 1968 Big Ten Championships.
only three entered any all-arounders. Which is just fine as far as the
Wolverine all-around performers are concerned.
TUMBLING TALES: The Wolverines are in Chicago today competing in
the Windy City Invitational . . . Garfield, recovering more quickly than ex-
pected from a dislocated finger, will be able to compete on one or two events.
Wisconsin outshot the Wolverines in the
last period by a 17-8 margin-evidence
tlat the defensemen and.goaltender
Paul Fricker felt the brunt of the
collapse.
Leading 5-4, the Badgers' Ron Vin-
cent scored two of his three goals in a
span of two minutes midway -through
the final period. His first goal was a
herd shot from just inside the blueline
that Fricker could have stopped as well
as the power-play goal Pete Johnson
scored three minutes later.
-ON THAT PLAY, with the Badgers
swarming all around the Michigan net,
Johnson had picked up a loose rebound
to Fricker's left and flipped it over the
SAVES.

Pac 10 decision angers Trojans
By the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES-As expected,
Southern California officials weren't
pleased with the Pacific-10 Conferen-
ce's decision Thursday night that
enabled Washington to remain in the
Rose Bowl race.
"We are obviously disappointed,"
said Southern Cal Coach John Robinson
yesterday. "Under all normal con-
ditions, we played for, and won, the
conference championship and the right
to go to the Rose Bowl with our victory
over Washington."
PAC-10 COMMISSIONER Wiles
Hallock ruled that conference mem-
berArizona State must forfeit its five
victories this season because eight of
the school's football players did not at-
tend a summer class in which they were
enrolled at Rocky Mountain College in
California.
One of the five victories by Arizona
State was over Washington. The rever-
sal means the Huskies are 5-1 in Pac-10
play and.8-2 overall while SoUthern Cal
is 5-0-1 and 9-0-1.
Washington con pletes its regular
season against Washington Sate today
while Southern Cal finished against
UCLA on Nov. 24. If the Huskies beat
Washington State and the Trojans lose
their finale, Washington gets the Rose

Bowl berth.
HAD IT NOT been for the ruling,
Southern Cal would be the Pac-10's
Rose Bowl representative by virtue of
its 24-17 victory over Washington last
week.
"The championship was settled on
the field-their field in Seattle," said
Robinson. "Obviously, these eligibility
questions cause unusual circumstan-
ces, and the resulting decisions were
very difficult.
"However, the way it turned out, it
seems to me the most punished group is
the USC football team. I'll have no fur-
ther comment on this queston now or in
the future. Our only goal is to win our
last game against UCLA."
Southern Cal Athletic Director Dick
Perry expressed similar feelings, but at
the same time defended the ruling.
"THERE'S NO question that we feel
like Arizona State was guilty of the par-
ticular violations, but the people that
get hit the hardest would be the Univer-
sity of Southern California," said
Perry. "I think we have to modify that,
however. I understand that the con-
ferece acted in accordance with the
conference constitutional bylaws.
"Very frankly, whichever way it
went somebody was going to lose. It
was a difficult decision made by good
people. They did what they thought was
right.
"The decision just happened to ad-
versely affect us more than any other
member of the conference."
FORMER ASU Coach Frank Kush
said he doesn't know anything of the
Rocky Mountain situation, adding that,
"I'm not involved," but an assistant
coach, who requested anonymity, said
that was untrue.
"What bothers me is that Kush was
totally aware of it. He was consulted
because it was a somewhat
questionable deal," the assistant coach
said.
"John Rehfield is something of a
scapegoat," the coach said. "He was
told to get the kids eligible or be fired."
Rehfield concurred, saying, "He
(Kush) told me my job was to get the
players eligible or I was fired."
The players involved are linebackers
Ben Apuna and Louis Campbell, defen-
sive lineman Tony Baker, offensive
lineman Brad Igou and Kani Kauahi
and running backs Alvin Moore, Ron
Washington and Arthur Lane.
fo,%'ox snig slugger
BOSTON-Veteran Tony Perez, a
slugging first baseman whose 1975
World Series home run still haunts
Boston, agreed to terms Friday for a
guaranteed three-year contract with
the Red Sox.
The 37-year-old former Cincinnati
Reds star, who has played with the
Montreal Expos for the past three
seasons, is viewed as the replacement
for another right-handed slugger, Bob
Watson, signed off the Red Sox roster
as a free agent by the New York
Yankees.
PEREZ PLAYED 12 seasons with the
Reds and helped Cincinnati to a seven-
game victory over Boston in the 1975
World Series. In the final game, he
sparked a comeback by blasting Bill.
Lee's sixth inning blooper pitch far into
the night.
Red Sox General Manager Haywood
Sullivan made the announcement and
then promptly left for New York to
meet with free agent right-handed
relief pitcher Skip Lockwood and his
agent, Dick Moss.
Lockwood, a native of Norwood,
Mass., pitched for the New York Mets
in recent seasons but arm trouble idled
him the second half of the season.
PEREZ' LIFETIME batting average
is .283 with 2,238 hits, 323 home runs and
1,357 RBI. For the Expos last year, he
slumped to .270 in 132 games with 13
homers and 73 RBI.
He will be used as both a first
baseman and designated hitter, as was
Watson-who had been acquired from
Houston last June.
HOUSTON-The Houston Astros
took no one by surprise yesterday by
scheduling a Monday news conference
"on the Ryan situation."
Spokesman Ed Wade would not
elaborate and would not comment on
reports the Astros have negotiated a
four-year, $4 million-plus contract with
Nolan Ryan, the California Angels
strikeout specialist 12 clubs picked i
the recent free agent draft.
RYAN, REPORTEDLY on a hunting
trip, has answered the published repor-
ts only by saying he has made up his
mind but would let the club involved
make its own announcement.
Dick Moss, Ryan's agent, had a
similar reaction in New York but ad-
ded, "I can't deny the obvious."
