TORONTO - Norm Ullman's
power-play goal with 5:28 left in
the game gave Toronto a 4-3 Na-

Pittsburgh last night.
Dave Keon, Bob Baun and Rick
Ley got the other goals in To-

tending by little Rogatien Vachon,
plus goals by big Pete Mahovlich,
Yvan Cournoyer and Jacques Le-
maire, pointed Montreal to a 3-0
victory over New York Rangers in
the National Hockey League last
night.
The shutout was Vachon's sec-
ond of the season as he stopped
35 shots from a swarm of New
York marksmen. His performance
merited him a standing ovation
from the 17,251 fans at game's
end.
The victory gave the third-place
Canadiens 67 points in the East
Division standings, 11 fewer than
second-place New York and 20
less than the division-leading Bos-
ton Bruins.

By BETSY MAHON
The sport of gymnastics is uni-
que among college athletics for
several reasons. Perhaps it's most
distinguished feature is that it
is a very personal thing; each
man is working for himself and
knows what he has to do and how
much time he has to spend, re-
gardless of the activities of the
other members of the squad.
It is the duty of Michigan co-
captains Ed Howard and Rick
McCurdy to mold these individuals
into a team. "We all work o u t
together in practice so we look out
for each other," McCurdy explain-
ed. "I try to talk to the guys
who are having problems with
their routines. I think our main
duty is to keep the team involved,
to keep things moving."
Howard continued, "I don't lead
consciously but I'm probably the
most verbal guy on the team. I
think it helps to hear coach-
ing in words."
Coach Newt Loken concurs,
",They have done a great job of
leading the team by example withI
their terrific performances this
year. Ed and Rick are both such
great and assuming young men,
but giants in the gymnastics
world."
Despite the fact that McCurdy
and Howard are close friends and
roommates they arrived at the
sport in diverse ways and are very
different types of gymnasts. Mc-
Curdy, a native of Atlantic High-
lands, New Jersey, switched from
climbing trees to climbing on a
neighbor's gymnastic apparatus
and has been at it ever since.
Howard, who hails from Wilmette,
Illinois, had been introduced to
gymnastics in junior high but be-
gan to take the sport seriously
when he discovered that he was
too small to make his high school's
football team.'
McCurdy is an all-arounder who
must compete in all six events. He
learned all the routines in high
schools and kept working on them
because it is "more fun to do
everything."
Howard also worked all the
events in high school and came to
Michigan as an all-arounder. He
described how he turned special-
ist: "It just sort of happened.
There were two good all-around-
ers ahead of me and there was a

better chance to make the team
as a specialist. Being able to com-
pete was more important to me
than an extra all-arounder." He
decided to concentrate on the high
bar and has since scored as high
as 9.5 in that event.
Because their style of competi-
tion is different Howard and Mc-
Curdy's practice routines are also
different. McCurdy and the other
all-arounders spend three to four
hours a day practicing the differ-
ent events. Howard has found that
practicing for two hours every
othed day is the most efficient
method for him. "When I prac-
ticed every day some of the work
outs were bad. Practicing daily on
the high bar is too hard on the
hands."
Both Howard and McCurdy are
using routines which they started
in high school. "Every routine is
an outgrowth of an earlier one,"
Howard explained. "You would
never recognize my freshmen rou-
tine in high school or in college
for that matter. A new routine
evolves gradually from the old
one."~
McCurdy agreed and added, "A
routine is the result of a long
building process. A gymnast starts'
with the basics and develops style.
If he feels that things aren't the
way they're supposed to be, he'll
make minor adjustments."

Howard and McCurdy stick to
pretty much the same routines
during the season and experiment
during the summer. "Then we
work on new combinations and
styles for tricks rather than on
routines," McCurdy said.
Howard agreed, saying, "I've
made changes over the summer
and re-arrangements during th e
year, but a gymnast should have
a routine before the season starts."
Both the specialists and' all-
arounders are compelled to learn
and perform Olympic compulsory
routines this year. McCurdy
thinks this is a good idea but add-
ed, "I wish they had pushed them
more in high school." McCurdy
and the all-arounders generally
spend two days a week on the
compulsories and the other two on
their optional routines.
Howard and McCurdy are both
graduating seniors. McCurdy, a
physical education major, plans to
"stay in gymnastics and keep in
training" for the Pan American
and Olympic trials and hopefully
gameshthemselves. Howard is an
English major who will "probably
teach" but he would like to try
his hand at coaching gymnastics.
Right now, however, the two
co-captains are more concerned
with leading their teammates to
the Big Ten and hopefully the
NCAA Championships.

COURTS RULE FOR NBA:
If Spene plays, Sonilcs pay

Courts ri p off flanker;
!pros sign 0 rambling ace
By The Associated Press
. OAKLAND - Warren Wells, star receiver for the Oakland
Raiders, was ordered yesterday to an Alameda County rehabilita-
tion center for 60 days for diagnostic tests after his probation in
a 1969 attempted rape case was revoked.
Wells, 28, was arrested in Los Angeles after the Pro Bowl
game. The warrant cited probation violation stemming from a traffic.
accident late last year in which he was charged with hit-and-run
driving.
. PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Eagles signed their No.
1 draft choice yesterday, defensive lineman Richard Harris of
Grambling College. The National Football League team did not
disclose the signing terms.
Harris' coach, Eddie Corbin, ranks him among Willie Davis,
Buck Buchanan and Ernie Ladd, all star players Grambling has
sent into pro ranks.

SAN FRANCISCO (4') - The
National Basketball Association
has a federal court go-ahead to
penalize the Seattle Super-Sonics
if they play Spencer Haywood
again, and a Sonics attorney said
the big forward won't play in
Seattle tonight against Portland.
Just when Haywood will be able
to get back on the court is un-
certain. Also uncertain is what
penalties, if any, the NBA would'
impose if the Sonics play him
without court protection against
league sanctions.
Mel Monheimer, an attorney for
IM Open House
"We're very fortunate this
year in having some of the
top names in the country," said{
co-ordinator Norm Parsons
concerning the 40th Annual
UM Intramural and Recrea-
tional Open House.
Hashij Kahn, the world's
greatest squash player; Tom
Carmichael, no, 3 ranked U.S.
Men's Singles Badminton play-
er; and Paul Lawrence, State!
of Michigan Singles Paddleball
Champion will present special
exhibition matches.
George Hunticker, National
NCAA Trampoline Champion,
will put on a trampoline ex-
hibition.
Five hundred participants
will compete in badminton,
basketball, boxing, fencing,
gymnastics, handball, judo,
karate, paddleball, squash,I
swimming, water polo, and
weight lifting.r
The open house takes place
tonight, from 6:30 until 10:30
in the IM Sports Building on
Hoover Street.

the SuperSonics, said in Seattle'
Tuesday night following a 9th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rul-
ing here: '
"We are not going to let Hay-
wood suit up. In fact, he won't
even be on the playing court Wed-
nesday night."
Haywood, a 6-foot-9 former
Olympic star who broke a six-year
contract with the Denver Rockets
of the American Basketball As-
sociation to sign with Seattle Dec.
28, has played 23 NBA games.
He has average 19.6 points and
12 rebounds a game, but says the
controversy over his contract has
hurt his game and kept him from
adjusting to the new league.
The other NBA clubs have pro-
tested Seattle's playing Haywood,
21, on ground league rules for-
bid using a played before his col-
lege class graduates. Had he re-
mained at the University of De-
troit, Haywood would be grad-
uating in June.
a But last month the Sonics got
a temporary injunction in U.S.
District Court at Los Angeles pre-
venting the NBA from imposing
sanctions on Seattle for u s i n g
Haywood.
'Then, in appellate court here
Tuesday, the NBA won a ruling
staying that preliminary injunc-
tion until Haywood's case is tried
in the lower court at Los Angeles
March 2.
Monheimner said the Sonics will
try to get a summary judgment
here Feb. 22 so Haywood can re-
turn to play without imposition of
NBA penalties.
"The effect of the ruling Tues-
day will keep Spencer out of action
until either Feb. 22 or March 2.
at which time we will get a defi-
nite ruling," Monheimer said.
INBA Commissioner Walter Ken-

nedy said in New York of the ap-
pellate court ruling, "That's great
-that's just great." He added that
he didn't know what sanctions, if
any, the NBA would level against
Seattle.
The appellate court ruling clear-
ly spelled out that the NBA could
not level any sanctions against
Seattle for games Haywood played
before Tuesday.
Every NBA team that has play-
ed against Haywood has filed a
formal protest with the league,
Haywood claimed he was mis-
led in signing a $1.9 million six-
year, contract with Denver after
his rookie season there. The
Rockets have sued to retain him
as their property, and this is one
facet of the coming trial in Los
Angeles.
Another major issue of the
March 2 trial is Haywood's con-
tention that the NBA violates
antitrust laws with its four-year
college eligibility rule, player draft
and other restrictions on a play-
er's opportunity to negotiate his
contract.

Hoope Pickings
Kid Sturdley was back on the streets!
Reefer City reverberated with the vibrant news. Busty matrons
snatched their children from outdoor play and dragged them to the,
safety of home. Fathers fingered their shotguns and listened em-
barrassedly to the uneasy rumbling of their stomachs.
In his tiny office-jail-mortuary, Sheriff Matt "Snap" Platt Flap
wondered why he had let the Kid go. I guess it was the look of virgin
*ring in his eyes, thought the sheriff. That child was too young to
be the wanton killer he was cracked up to be.
Meanwhile the 9-year-old Kid was strolling through Reefer City's
one-block business district, twirling a mean-looking pair of Colts as
he sneered at any of the populace who dared show a face on the
street. Tobacco spittle ran from the corners of his mouth; he wore a
long silver earring.
A gopher scurried across the dusty street: the Kid shot it dead:
in the head with his lead. "Ecology" muttered the Kid distractedly
as he wiped his snotty nose. The Kid was mean, but he had a cause.
Rowlff!
Oh yeah, get your Hoope Pickings in by midnight Friday and you
win something or other if you guess enough right.
