ht'; THE MICHIGAN DAILY T-etc-Ari- in-710 I 9 .___ -_--- - - ---- I utesuy, I-ebruary Z3, 1I*I1 1_ '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.

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. *? , AW I THE AMAZING PLEASURE BED (0. announces its GRAND OPENING SALE Tuesday, Feb. 23at 12:00 Come to Afclotique, 211 S.

S UPREME COUR T: Haywood seeks injumetioi WASHINGTON (P) - Profes- sional basketball star Spencer Haywood asked the Supreme Court yesterday to allow him to con- tinue to play for the Seattle SuperSonics p e n d i n g litigation over his status in the National Basketball Association.

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's order clearing the way for NBA action against him. A U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Feb. 2 barred the NBA from taking action against Seattle to stop Haywood from playing, pending trial of the case scheduled to start March 2. The Appeals Court stayed the lower court order Feb. 16. Haywood said if relief is not granted he will suffer irreparable injury to his physical condition. playing ability and reputation "as a super star." He said denial of his petition would have the effect of keeping him out of play the rest of this season. The former University of Detroit athlete dropped out of college af- ter his sophomore year, 1968-69, to play for Denver in the American Basketball Association. Late in 1970, after he became 21. Haywood rescinded the contract, complain- iing of fraud and misrepresenta- tion. Last Dec. 28 he contracted with Seattle of the NBA at a six- year salary of $1.5 million.

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. 4 I I i i i i 7 i i i 7 i i i * i / 7 i i t i r I I '-7 Monday, March 8th DIRECT FROM RINGSIDE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, N.Y.C.

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! v:::. .::::::.. _ ... ... .:. ::::::. :.:-.:::.: :::.:::::::::::.:.: :::::.::::........ .:: ..... ... ...... .. ..::.:... v, .h. ... .... .. .......: ::., :.: .. .. :..:: is .. ... .....::::. ::. : i::.i'......... ::. , .,.... ....,....... .................... ?. ...... ... .... .... ....... .... ......... ... .. ...... ..... ... ..... .... ... ................s . .. x ,................. ....................:::::. :....:::...:... t. .. ...... .. ... ........ ... ...... .: ........ ...... ....1 .. ,,............. .. ...._.. .. .. .. .:. ..... ... ...... .. .., v ...... ........ .......... .. .. .. ... .. nom......... ...... %i' ; :%}^r' i:ti {::i-:i i' :ti i ::::::i ::':: .: .... ........ ........................... .. .. ........... ............ ....... ...:::. :: J.:v'i.: .............. ::::. v' .... .................... .: ::.:'.::.::isi.i::.iiii::= i::-::.i: .:.:.}::%::}i:.:-.... . , r,.,.
