'M' ICERS LATEST VICTIM
Irish tradition continues
By BILL ALTERMAN
If America is the promised
land, then South Bend, Indiana
is the promised city. Whatever
the Fighting Irish attempt they
invariably succeed at, be it foot-
ball, basketball and their latest
endeavor, hockey.
On the gridiron, the Irish have
long had a winning tradition,
grounded in the mold Knute
Rockne formed in the 1920s. This
year's team went 10-1 including a
Cotton Bowl upset over previous-
ly unbeaten number one Texas.
And hardly do the heroics of
Joe Theismann cease than the
image of Austin Carr shadows
the country. Carr, you may re-
call, scored 38 points in the sea-
son's first basketball game to
lead the Irish to a 94-81 shellack-
ing of Michigan.
And only a month ago, the Irish
upset another number one ranked
team, the TJCLA Bruins. UCLA,
too, had been undefeated before
the magic of Notre Dame did
them in.
Alas, even though Michigan's
pucksters are far from undefeat-
ed, the Fighting Irish took little
pity on our lowly state and
burned the Wolverines twice this
past weekend, 4-2 and 5-4.
Notre Dame, of course, is not
in the Western Collegiate Hoc-
key Association and some of the
icers doubtless eased up over the
weekend. Even so, the sweep is
a tribute to the Notre Dame ath-
letic department which in three
short years could, from a stand-
irig start, bring forth a hockey
team of big time caliber.

This year the Irish are 7-11-2
against WCHA competition and
the prospects of Notre Dame
joining the league next yea: are
good.
Irish coach Lefty Smith, who
didn't forsee any problems in
coming into the WCHA, added
"we haven't been blown out of
the rink by any team in the
WCHA so far this year."
Michigan mentor Al Renfrew
also expects to see Notre Dame
in the league but hopes to limit
the league size to ten.
With the construction of the
Athletic and Convocation Center
in South Bend in 1967, the Unive.-
sity upped its club team to var-
sity and, playing against small-
time competition, went 16-8-3.
Last year, against a slightly
tougher schedule, the Fighting
Irish were 21-8-1.
This year, playing a rugged
schedule, Notre Dame is holding
its own with an 11-12-2 mark.
More importantly, the Irish have
a young team with only four
seniors on the 32-man squad.
Meanwhile, t h e Wolverines
continue to have problems as
their overall record slid to 8-18
while their last-place conference
record remained.at 4-14.
But fortunately for Michigan,
the two teams it is closely pur-
suing also had their difficulties.
Minnesota, the Wolverines oppo-
nent this coming weekend, lost a
pair to the improving Wisconsin
Badgers, and Colorado split with
the Spartans at East Lansing.
A series sweep over Minnesota
this weekend and a duplicated
performance the following week
against Michigan State, would
give the Wolverines eighth place
by a mere half-game margin over
the Gophers.
And if Colorado also loses its
last three, Michigan would vault
all the way to seventh, shading
the Tigers by a few percentage
points.

Hoope Pickings
The Cottage Inn Greaseria and the Union Ten Pin Lanes join with
the Daily this week in honoring William Cherniak with the first member-
ship ever awarded in the Hoope Pickings Hall of Fame.
Cherniak, or Clarivoyant Bill as the gnomes around here call him,
has won the contest for the second week in a row, which is not so fan-
tastic when you consider the kind of opposition he faces among our
readers.
Still, Cherniak's feat so astounded us that we decided to suspend
Hoope Pickings for a week, especially since we're not going to be here
next week to figure out the winners. Happy vacation, and practice your
picking!

Court stayed the lower court order

certainty that Seattle would get

Pro Standings
Physicists tell us there are three basic forces at work in the uni-
verse: matter, energy and chopped liver.
But I, for one, am no longer satisfied with this narrow definition.
How do physicists classify ESP? Certainly it falls into none of these
categories, but just as certainly it exists. And not as a mere theory; ESP
is a proven, demonstrated fact.
For example, how many times have you walked into a place you
never saw before and yet recognized everything? How many times have
you known the exact words someone was going to say before he ever
said them? How many times have you been absolutely certain some-
thing was going to happen hundreds or even thousands of miles away
and, sure enough, it did?
Let me tell you about a case I am fortunately able to document.
Some years ago I went fishing with my dear friend Donald L. Fromkiss
at a virgin lake deep in the Canadian wilds. It was hellishly difficult to
get there, but we did not mind, for the moment we dropped our lines
we each caught a splendid crappie. Mine weighed just over 300 pounds.
Donald's was somewhat smaller, but by far the friendlier.
Imagine my surprise then when, before we could throw our lines
back for another try, Donale suddenly leaped up and cried he'd had a
premonition that he must go home immediately. He could not tell me
why. He only knew that some one or some thing was calling him back
and he had to go at once. Apologizing profusely, he left me alone on
the lake and portaged to the nearest town (Moose Jaw, well over a
thousand miles, and poison sumac every inch), and there he chartered
a Ford Tri-Motor and flew home.
Well sir, at first he felt like an utter dolt. Everything was perfectly
normal at home. His wife Edith was quietly reading The Sensuous
Woman. His son Herschel was taking his daily glassblowing lesson.
His dog Trey was eating his leash.
And yet the premonition would not leave Donald. Carefully, he
went through the house, inch by inch, room by room. Sure enough,
when he got to the back hall he suddenly heard a faint whimpering
noise outside. He flang open the door. And there, by George, he saw
where the whimpering was coming from: someone had left a basket on
the back stoop!
Well sir, who can blame Donald for crying a cry of joy and tri-
umph? What a find! A whimpering basket! That's something you don't
see every day, let me tell you!
And so today, as you know of course, Donald L. Fromkiss and
His Whimpering Basket is one of the highest paid acts in show busi-
ness. Next Sunday, in fact, he completes his 84th consecutive year on
Ed Sullivan.

As for me, I too was a beneficiary of Donald's ESP, for when he
left me alone on the lake I figured I would get to drink all-not just
half-of the goodly supply of Miller High Life Beer we had brought
along, and as you know of course, Miller High Life is never so welcome
as it is on a tranquil sylvan lake while a flock of Canada geese darkens
the sky above. Of course, Miller isn't bad in a noisy bar either while a
flock of American coeds darkens the jukebox. For that matter, it's even
great in the dorm while your cruddy roommate darkens the tub.
But as it happened, I never did get to drink all our Miller High
Life because I forgot how well sound travels across a sylvan lake. No
sooner did I pop my first can of Miller when-lo and behold!-ten
Mounties galloped out of the forest singing selections from Rose Marie!
