The Michigan icers took a great
stride forward in their quest for
a berth in the WCHA playoffs last'
night, but there was very little
celebrating afterwards.
Neither coach Al Renfrew nor
his players, were elated over the
7-5 triuihph over the Colorado Ti-
gers at the Coliseum last night.

But Michigan came back with
two goals by Bucky Straub, and
single markers by Julian .Nixon
and Jarry to ice the victory. Nix-
on's goal, his first of the season,
gave the Wolverines a two-goal
edge at the conclusion of the sec-

"We had poor goaltending and
a very bad first period," mentioned
a dissappointed Colorado coach

was shaky all night.
"But we'll be back tomorrow
night and things should be dif-

however.

Special To The Daily
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Michigan
sophomore Gary Ernst stunned
Jim Waschek of Iowa 6-0 in the
heavyweight match to salvage a
15-15 tie last night in a dual meet,
at Iowa City.
Ernst came out strong from the
start to thoroughly trounce the
unbeaten and heavily favored Was-
chek.'
Up until that match it looked
as though Michigan would suffer
its first Big Ten loss and third
overall. The Wolverines jumped to
an early 12-0 advantage in the
first four matches but saw that
lead whittled away and finally
crumbled under an onslaught of
five consecutive Hawkeye wins.
The keypoint of the match came
when Jerry Hubbard was reversed
and nearly pinned with four set-
onds remaining. He had been lead-
ing 9-8 untilhe was subdued by
the quick blitz of his 150-lb. ag-1
gressor Dan Holm.
The score at that time was 12-3
but had Hubbard been able to re-
tain his lead the Wolverines would
have walked away victorious. But
it was not to be, and as coach
Rick Bay moaned after the match
"It was a real disappointment to
lose at 158. We had it and let it.
get away."
Iowa brought six unbeaten wres-
tIers into the meet and four of;
them kept their slates clean.
Jim Brown started the meet for
Michigan by bouncing Steve Nat.
vig from the unbeaten ranks 6-4.
Bill Davids then wriggled and
writhed his way to a 4-1 pasting
of Hawkeye Russ Winegardner.
Davids was in control all the
way nearly pinning his man in the
first period and garnering a full
three minutes of riding time in the
second.
Bill Schuck continued the early
shellacking of the Hawkeyes by
nudging his opponent at 142, Mike
Mulchay, to make it 12-0.
After Hubbard's heartstopper the
Iowans threw their big guns at
Michigan. At 158 Jan Sanderson
kept his record intact by whipping
Mitch Mendrygal 11-4. The Wol-
verines' Mendrygal, who special-
izes in leg finesse was simply done
in by the superior strength and
savy of Sanderson.
Iowa closed to within three points
of Michigan, 12-9, after the 167
match when Mat Clarke squeezed
by Roger Ritzman 8-6. Ritzman
was actually leading until late in
the final period when a triple ex-
change of reversals started with
Clarke which left Ritzman one
short.
With only a three point lead,
chances for a Michigan upsurge
were dim, considering the fact
that the final three grapplers from
Iowa were undefeated.
John Evashevski did not dis-
appoint the sparce but excited
crowd of- under 1000 as he came
through with a narrow 2-0 win over
Michigan's John Ryan. The score
did not indicate the margin of the
match, however, as Evashevski
had Ryan on the defensive.
The fifth of five wins in a row
put the Hawkeyes temporarily in
the lead 15-12. It came about in
the 190 class when Paul Zander
kept his no loss skeen intact with
a well fought 4-9 decision over
Lon Harris.

SAPPORO, Japan-Sweden wore
down a weary United States hockey
team which was playing its second
game in 16 hours and defeated
the Americans 5-1 today in the
opening game of Group A hockey
competition in the 11th Winter
Olympics.
Goals by Tommie Bergman and
Inge Hammarstrom in the last
period offset any possible protest
from the United States team after
the Finnish referee disallowed two
American goals earlier in the
game.
WINTER
OLYMPICS
The official ruled that on both
occasions an American player had
preceded the puck into the Swed-
ish goal crease.
Lars Nelsson, Thommy Abra-
hamsson and Tord Lundstrom
were the other Swedish scorers.
Kevin Ahearn of Milton, Mass.,
scored the lone U.S. goal at 8:04
of the first period.
U.S. Coach Murray Willamson
said he thought both of the goals
that had been disallowed should
have been counted, but added,
"They played well enough to win."
Bill Harris,, Canadian coach of
the Swedish team, said he was not
in a position to know if the goals
should have counted or not. "If
one had been allowed and the
score was 3-2, it could have
changed the game around," he
conceded.

After a disappointing showing in the Michigan
Relays last Saturday, the Michigan track team
hopes to rebound against Indiana this weekend at
Bloomington.
Indiana is the defending indoor and outdoor
Big Ten champs and placed second in cross coun-
try. Most of Indiana's strength lies on the track.
According to Michigan track coach Dixon Farmer,
"The key to the meet will be the field events."
The high hurdles will feature Michigan's God-
frey Murray and Mel Reeves challenging Charles
Jackson of Indiana. Jackson is not to be taken
Manders ran a 9:08.2 while Kelly was clocked at
9:09.2. Rick Schott will have to improve on last
week's 9:12.5 showing, his best to date, if he hopes
to be in the race.
The 60 yard dash features two of the confer-
ence's swiftest competitors, pitting Wolverine co-
captain Gene Brown against the Hoosiers' Glenn
Love. Both men turned in 6.2 performances in their
last meets.
The Big Ten could possibly offer the best high
jump competition in the nation, as evidenced by
the fact that seven jumpers have cleared seven
feet in the past couple of seasons. Two of these

Michigan's mighty Wolverines
will try to start another win-
ning streak after having a 48
game winning streak snapped
last weekend when they host
Minnesota at 1:30 p.m. at Crisler
Arena in a dual meet today.
Minnesota, with its best team
in a decade, will invade Ann
Arbor with one thought in mind-
upsetting highly rated Michigan.
Unaccustomed to losing, Coach
Newt Loken philosophically stat-
ed, "You just can't win them all,
and a loss such as we suffered
(160.7 - 160.45) will spur our
team on to intense workouts with
the goal being to overtake the
Hawkeyes during the Big 71en
Weekend March 3-4 at Urbana,
Illinois. But an immediate pro-
ject will be to 'fire the team
up' for the Gopher invasion."
Minnesota's gymnasts have pil-
ed up a six game winning streak
and could prove to be more than
what Michigan bargained for,
The Gophers are consistentiy
scoring around the 160 point
mark.
The Ground Hogs boast three
fine all around men in Jeff Rock,
Gura will challenge Mike, Sand-
man and Russ Fystrom.
The rings have not been one of
Michigan's strong points t hi s
year. The 'Gophers Bill Mick-
lus,, Glenn Miler, and Blesie
are determined to outscore Mon-
ty Falb, Mike Sale, and Marti.
Vaulting may well be Minne-
sota's strongest event. Blesie,
who executes a double somer-
sault over the length of the
orse, will be defied by Bouchard,
who executes a roundoff b a c k
somersault over the top of the
horse.'
The.high bar will feature a
battle of brothers as Michigan's
Ted Marti will try to embarrass
his brother Chuck.
Immediately following the re-
gular meet, two Michigan men
will perform on each event in
the official NCAA (Olympic)
Compulsory Routines. T h e s e
routines will serve the dual func-
tion of sharpening up the Wol-
verines for the Big Ten Cham-
pionships and present the fans
another set of routines with new
and different moves and com-
binations.
