Its first Olympic gold
In Alpine skiing sinceE

Ms. Cochran's stunning victory
came about two hours after 16-
year-old Anne Henning and Dianne
Holum, both of Northbrook, Ill.,
and the other U.S. gold medalists
of these 11th Winter Games, failed
to win the 1,000-meter speed skat-
ing race. Miss Henning finished
third, less than a quarter of a sec-
ond behind winner Monika Pflug
of West Germany.
Ms. Cochran, whose older sis-
ter, Marilyn, fell and was dis-
qualified in the first of two runs,
had a total time of 1 minute, 31.24
.~seconds in giving the U.S. its third
gold medal, the most since 1950,
and its first in skiing since An-
drea Meade Lawrence was a double
gold medalist in 1952.
Ms. Cochran had the fastest
time of 46.05 on the first run. She
then had the second fastest time
of 45.19 on the second run to give
a winning margin of two one-
hundredths of a second over silver
medalist Danielle Debernard of
France.
Ms. Debernard had runs of 46.08
and 4.18 for a total of 1:31.25
while bronze medalist Florence
Steurer, also of France had times
of 46.57, 46.12-1:32.69.

DETROIT - The Detroit Red

icit to whip the Buffalo Sabres
4-2 last night and jump to fourth
place in the National Hockey
League's East Division playoff
race.
Defenseman Ron Harris, back
in the lineup after being out two
weeks with an injury, sparked the
comeback when he was moved to
a forward line at the start of the
second period.
Harris' aggressive c h e c k i n g
loosened up the Sabres and then
he set up Red Berenson for a
power-play goal at 6:17 to put the
Red Wings on the scoreboard.

Blacks question Big Ten ruling

E A S T LANSING, Mich (P) -
Three black administrators at
Michigan State University con-
tended yesterday that the Minne-
sota-Ohio State basketball clash
had "racial overtones" and called
for improvement of the status of:
black athletes in the Big Ten.
Dr. Robert L. Green, director of
the MSU Center for Urban Af-
fairs, called a news conference to
make public the contents of a let-
ter sent to Big Ten Commissioner
Wayne Duke.
Green said the confrontationi
"between the predominantly black
M inn e s o t a and Predominantly
white Ohio State basketball teams
clearly demonstrates a need to
take positive steps immediately tor
improve the status of black ath-
letes in the Big Ten."
Green also said he disagreedt
with a statement that the investi-t
gation of the Minnesota - Ohioc
State disturbance "turned up noc
evidence of racial overtones. t
"We strongly believe it was ar
case of white versus black ath-
letes," Green and his associates
said.
Others signing the letter were
Joseph H. McMillan, director of
the MSU Equal Opportunities
Program, and Thomas S. Dun-
nings, assistant director of minor-
ity counseling.
In addition, they said, the let-
ter to Duke expressed concern that
all the Big Ten officials who took
final action to suspend the Min-
nesota players were white. The
three said a major item at the
next Big Ten meeting in Chicago
early in March should be the sta-
tus of black athletes in the con-
ference
Black athletes, faculty members
and administrators throughout the
Big Ten should be brought in to
the conference to testify and make

swimmers in upsetting mood
for challenge of stellar Indiana

r

By CHUCK BLOOM
This weekend the Michigan ; swim team will
face its stiffest challenge of the season as they
take on the defending national champion Indiana
Hoosiers tomorrow after warming up against con-
siderably weaker Illinois at Champaign tonight.
Illinois presents no problem for Michigan. The
Illini have already lost to Purdue, a team Michi-
gan drubbed earlier in the season, 84-39. Coach
Gus Stager is sending only his best swimmers
against Indiana, but he will send some second line
performers against the Illini.
The "David and Goliath" test comes tomor-
row at Indiana's Royer Pool. Though not an es-
pecially strong duel meet squad, the Hoosiers,
nevertheless, should defeat Michigan.
"It will be the same as Purdue swimming
against us," said Stager. "We really don't stand
much of a chance. We may not win the meet, but
4 we should swim some good races."
It is unfortunate that Indiana cannot come to
Ann Arbor to swim this year. The Hoosiers have

an abundance of prospective Olympic gold medal
winners. High on the list is Indiana's one-two
punch of John Kinsella, Swimmer of the Year last
season, and Mark Spitz, already an Olympic vet-
eran.
Kinsella should win both distance freestyle
events with Michigan's Mark Anderson trying
valiantly to defeat him. In the 100 yard freestyle,
Spitz, with the third best time in the country,
should win it from start to finish.
Michigan's Stu Isaac will have his hands full
in the individual medley with the Hoosiers' Larry
Barbiere and Pat O'Connor. The best race of the
day should be the butterfly when Michigan's
Canadian sensation, Byron MacDonald, takes on
Barbiere and Adfelder. These three tankers are
the top trio of butterfly men in the country.
With MacDonald and Isaac in the breaststroke,
Michigan could give Indiana a run for its money.
If the Hoosiers take the Wolverines too much for
granted, Michigan, more than any other Big Ten
team, could upset big, bad Indiana.

Under present state law, the city could levy a maximum of 1 % tax on income of
city residents and 1 % on non-residents employed in the City.
