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- ond period to pull Michigan out of danger. "We had poor goaltending and a very bad first period," mentioned a dissappointed Colorado coach Jeff Sauer. Schum, who has bat- tled the flu for the last two weeks, was shaky all night. "But we'll be back tomorrow night and things should be dif- ferent," Sauer was quick to add however. Tigers Tamed FIRST PERIOD SCORING: 1. M- Gagnon (Jarry, Kardos) :24; 2.

S.o Blue jolt Iowa wrestlers, 15-15 By RICK STUCK 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. Maulers Maimed 118-Jim Brown (M) dec.

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. } NHL Standings: NHL Earlier Erhard Keller of West Germany streaked to an Olympic record and his second straight gold medal in the men's 500-meter speed skating sprint. Hasse Borjes of Sweden won the silver medal in 39.69 and Valeri Mouratov of Russia took the bronze in 39.80. Borjes and Mouratov also were inside the Olympic record, as was Per Bjorang of Norway, who fin- ished fourth in 39.91. The old record was 40.10, set by Terry McDermott of the United States at Innsbruck, Austria !n 1964. Several Germans struck gold as Ulrich Wehling ,a 19-year-old East German, won a gold medal in the Nordic combined and a pair of West Germans won the two-man bobsled. Wehling earned his gold by fin- ishing third in this morning's 15- kilometer 9.3 miles race and fourth in the 80-meter ski jump. Rauno Miettinen of Finland won the silver medal and Karl-Heinz Luck of East Germany, winner of the cross-country race, took the bronze. Japan's Hideki Nakano had won the jumping half of the com- bined. After the jumping yesterday, Wehling was trailing Miettinen by 9.1 points and had to beat the Finn by 1 minute, 1 second to overtake him. The young German, who is a I high school student from Halle, beat the Finnish baker by 1 min- ute, 52 seconds. Wehling started his international career two years ago by winning the Socialist Countries Junior Cup in Bulgaria. Last year he won the European J u n i o r championship title. Wehling's over-all point total was 413.340, to 405.505 for Miettiner ,and 398.800 for Luck, whose win ning time in the c.oss-country race was '48 minutes, 24.9 seconds. Michael Devecka of Goverma ment Camp, Ore.; was sixth in the race in 50:00.0.. The two-man bobsled gold -went to West Germany's Wolfgang'Zirn merer and Peter 'Utzschneider, who totaled 4:57.07 for four runs- two of them today-down tbe 1,563 meter Mount Teine course.

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.

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.
