Colorado's main problem to date has been defense. Bob Winograd has anchored the defensemen, but unseasoned freshmen defensemen have suffered numerous lapses in tight ballgames. The Tiger's goalies have also been erratic in performance. Doug Bellamy will probably start Fri- day night, but Doug Schum may also see some action in the net be- fore the weekend is over. "Our lines are better balanced this year," Coach Sauer said. We don't rely so much on individual players; this is a players' team. We're improving our defensive game every time we play, and our experienced forwards continue to improve our scoring attack." 4 ENGAGEMENT RING $225.00 ENGAGEMENT RING $250.00 WEDDING RING $42.50 Renfrew, in an attenpt to With 37 freshman prospects ar- change the team's losing ways, riving at Colorado this fall, Sauer has gone back to practicing the has had to choose seven for road basics of hockey.

This weekend Michigan hopes to get untracked against Colorado College in a last effort bid to make the post season playoffs. FACE MINNESOTA SATURDAY: Wrestlers tangle with Iowa I I By MARC FELDMAN As the Big Ten dual meet wrestling schedule heads into its final weeks, the race has boiled down to a three team scramble between Michigan, Iowa, and Michigan State. Iowa is the Wol- verine's opponent this weekend as the conference unbeatens battle in one of the biggest matches of the season tonight at Iowa City. The matmen travel to Minne- sota Saturday to wrestle with the Gophers, who present less of a threat than the powerful Hawk- eyes. TIhroughout the dual season, Michigan's strength has been in the lower weight classes while ov- erall team performance has suf- fered in the heavier classifica- tions. Realizing his team's weak- ness in the latter matches, Coach Rick Bay admits that the Wol- verines need to win at least the first five matches to upset the Hawkeyes. Bay practically' concedes the 177, 190, and heavyweight matches to Iowa as the Hawks boast two unbeaten matmen in John Eva- shevski and Paul Zander, and an experienced heavy in Jim Was- chek. Perhaps the most crucial match of the evening will be the rematch SHOP FRIDAYS 'TIL 8:30 P.M. ranTW GT MAIN AT WASHINGTON $10.00 per month NO DEPOSIT FREE DELIVERY, PICK UP AND SERVICE CALL: NEJAC TV RENTALS 662-5671 CREATIVE SHABBAT SERVICE Every Friday-6:15 p.m. HILLEL-1429 Hill 1 i t between Michigan's Jerry Hub-, bard and Iowa's Jan Sanderson at 150. Although Hubbard was Big Ten champ at 150 a year ago, his path to an unbeaten dual season was derailed by Sanderson. This year, Sanderson is unbeaten and Hubbard boasts an impressive 11 -2. A win would not only give Hub- bard revenge, but it would also give Michigan a good chance to cop the match. Iowa's regular wrestler at 118, Dan Sherman, is injured and will not wrestle against the Wolver- ines' talented freshman, Jim Brown. Sherman had won over twenty straight matches over a two year period. The Hawkeyes were ranked just fourteenth in the nation in the last poll of the coaches but a re- cent decisive win over perennial Eastern power and eleventh rank- ed Lehigh by a score of 33-3 should raise them in the polls. Despite the. tremendous success of the Hawkeyes, Iowa Coach Dave McCuskey isn't all that im- pressed with his team. Although his Hawkeyes have defeated Big Ten favorite Michigan State and six other opponents, he feels that MSU is a stronger overall team and only the super effort his team gave against the Spartan matmen carried them to victory. In Mc- Closkey's words, "We're really not that great; only the kids haven't found out yet." Hopefully, the Wolverine matmen help them see the light. A crowd of between four and five thousand is expected at Iowa: Fieldhouse for the showdown. In the other match this week- end, the Wolverines will go to the scene of last week's riot at the TERM PAPERS!

The Gophers, sixth in the Big Ten last year, boast few outstand- ing wrestlers, but an overall bal- ance that many teams in the Big Ten lack. Bay feels that a good effort from the entire squad will be needed to bury the Gophers. The most interesting individual match will be the 126 pound dual between Michigan's outstanding sophomore, Bill Davids, and Min- nesota's Steve Wessman, who was a third place finisher in last year's Big Ten championships.

(A') -- "We'll lose some of our male mystique," Stanford University's band man- ager Dave Ruiz said in announc- ing the 165-piece band will open its ranks to coeds next spring or fall. The band has been all male for its 70 years. The action came after Albert Hastorf, dean of humanities a n d sciences, notified the music de- partment that university policy prevents barring students f r o m courses for other than academic reasons. The band is a one-credit course. Band members voted 108 to 22 earlier this year to continue ex- eluding women. 4 *° Do you think a bright young Electronics Engineer his most imaginative years on the same assignment? Neither do we.
