Michigan's potent power play scored two more times in the second period, and it's a good thing, because Wiscon- sin made a bold move to put the game out of reach. Vincent scored just one minute into the period, then Dave Speer and Chuck Durocher turned the light on to put the Badgers ahead, 5-1. THE WOLVERINES then got three 4,. 0" 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. Badger burst FIRST PERIOD Scoring: 1) W-Lecy (Scheid.

"1 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.

"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 The Athlete's Shop New Adidas B-ball Shoe has Arrived. The "Top Ten"-$56 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." NBA Boston 113. Ptah 97 Washington 92. New Jersey 91 Mil. i)etroit 4. Washington 2 Atlanta t N.Y.
