Michigan and Minnesota are tied for second place in the Big Ten with 4-1 records. Wayne Duke, Big Ten Com- missioner, said Wednesday that further interviews and study of films will be made before any action is taken. Athletic Directors Ed Weaver of Ohio State and Paul Giel of Min- nesota, Herbert Rohrig, supervisor of Big Ten officials, and Duke have reviewed official game films. "They were not conclusive to the extent we could make a total assessment of the situation," said Duke. "In addition, Giel, Rohrig and I viewed other film and con- sulted with several of the prin- cipals involved." Two Ohio State players, Witte and, Mark Wagar, who had suf- fered facial lacerations, were re- leased from University hospitals after being held over night for observation. Minor was treated at the hos- pital for lacerations Tuesday night and released. Minnesota forward Clyde Tur- ner fouled Witte as the Buckeye tried to shoot. It was ruled a flagrant foul and Turner was ejected. Corky Taylor, -Minnesota for- ward, said he "tried to pick Witte off the floor after he had gone down following the foul. As I, pulled him up, Witte spat at me."I Witnesses generally agreed that' at that point, Taylor kneed Witte in the groin. Players from both benches streaked onto the floor, along with spectators, and a ser- ies of fights broke out. Fred Taylor claimed Tuesday night that the Gophers' Ben Be- hagen. who had fouled out earlier. stomped on Witte's neck. Other Gopher players said Behagen came to Corky Taylor's aid when other Ohio State players got involved. Taylor had said he was going to ask Duke to order the Gophers to cease their pregame tactics. resembling a Globetrotters type of warmup.

Said Taylor of the warmup: "If it's that important to their well- oeing, why don't they do it on the road? Think about that for a min- ute." Taylor refused to discuss the incident when the team arrived back on a commercial flight in midafternoon Wednesday. He said he would not have anything to say untilt an announcement came from a meeting of Big Ten Com- missioner Wayne Duke and of- ficials of both schools Wednes- day. Witte was wearing a patch over his right 'eye, his left ear was black and blue and he had six stitches in his chin. The Buckeyes worked out late Wedneday afternoon in St. John Arena.

For the Student Body: LEVI'S Denim Bells X8.00 ---Associated Press A net phase This exalted leader of leaders has dropped one of his greatest bombshells. After eight months of secret deliberations he has decided to announce to the Daily Sports Staff who'll replace him as Commander-in-Chief as well as who'll be members of the new cabinet. Close your eyes{ and hold your breath! By RICH STUCK The Michigan Lacrosse Club is looking to be the first new varsity sport at Michigan in over 30 years. Athletic Director Don Canham is currently inves- tigating the merits of the formal petition presented to his office by the club in seeking varsity recognition and a final decision will be forthcoming this winter. Varsity status would make more money available to the club for operating expenses. As it now stands the players shoul- der most of the costs for equip- ment and trips themselves. How- ever, attaining varsity level would make all graduate stu- dents ineligible, thereby elimin- ating a maior portion of the Wolverine squad. In anticipation of a favorable decision, the lacrosse club is ac- tively recruiting undergraduates to strengthen its nucleus of players. Coach Bob Kaman. points out that "although many players will be lost one need only look at the program at Michigan State" to see success. After existing as a club for several years with a membership of 25-30 players, State had 80 potential Spartans try out for the newly formed varsity. "In terms of participation," Kaman argues. "a varsity team will enlarge both the number of players and 'the number of fans supporting the game." Meanwhile the team held its first practice of the season Mon- day evening in Yost Fieldhouse. The club, champions of the Midwest Club Lacrosse Associa- tion in 1971 with an 8-1 record is eagerly looking ahead to the defense of its title. Long the doormat of the league, Michigan has achieved a complete turn- about so that now they are the recognized class of the confer- ence, even though a jump to varsity status would temporarily set back the growth. The first action for the la- crossemen will be on their trip to North Carolina during the spring break. Currently all of the grad students are practic- ing with the team even though a yes from Canham would force a wholesale change to the younger members of the squad. The defense would be the strongest position on the team as all three defensemen are un- dergrads as well as All-Midwest goalie Jay Johnson. The defense iI composed of juniors Pete Lod- wick and Tim Cotter, and senior Dave Fischer. Whereas the defense is young, the attack positions are manned almost entirely by grads. Skip Flanagan; Roger Mills, Steve Hart, and Phil Powers are all in this category. The only exper- ienced undergraduate attack- man is junior Don Holman.
