I Friday, January 24, i 975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven I GOPHERS ATOP WCHA yt f: Dekers meet By BRIAN DEMING Winning has not been easy for the Michigan hockey team this year. After 20 WCHA games the skaters find themselves with as many setbacks as victories and a mediocre sixth place in the league. And winning is not going to get any easier -for the Wol- verines this weekend. THE MINNESOTA Gophers, defending NCAA champions and ranked number one in the na- tion, come to Ann Arbor for games Friday and Saturday night against Michigan. Coach of the Gophers, Herb Brooks, whose team he brought from last place to a national championship in just two years, has put together a young and well balanced team. After get-i ting off to a slow start, Min- nesota has won 15 out of its last 16 games and brings a seven NIGHT EDITORS: FRED UPTON MARCIA MERKER game winning streak into Yost. Discounting the Gophers awe- some credentials, Brooks, '73- '74 WCHA Coach of the Year, points out, "In this league everybody is capable of beating everyone else. Everybody is aw- fully darn close." Minnesota is now 15-5-0 in the league, only one point be- hind league leading Michigan State. ONE OF THOSE handful of losses came last November 1 on a 10-1 shellacking to th Maize and Blue in Minneapolis In that contest, with freshma Frank Zimmerman in goal, th Wolverines could do nothin wrong as nine Michigan me scored.

A few weeks ago wrestling . coach Bill Johannesen was look-I ing forward to this point in the I season. IThis Weekend in Sports I SPRINTS, HIGHLIGHTED His grapplers had emerged from a tough, crowded early season schedule with losses only to Oklahoma and MSU. Except for a series of ailments suiffered by captain Dave Curhv they were generally none the woke for wear. The seasoris strategv was going well. Yonng wrestlers were getting the exnerience they would need by torn- ment time and the old hands were winning at least as much as exnected. To his chagrin. however, Jo- hannesern has discovered that everv siler li ha a o d. In 1Vichigan's case that cloed is iniurv. "It's inst so disconraine." lamented Johannesen in a tight voice after a nractice in which Tom Evashevski injured his knee. The coach, affectionately known as Billy Jo to everyone cnnected with the team, had n.mnned to start Evashevski at 150 pounds this weekend as the grapplers take their show on the road to Purdue and Illinois. Another 150 pounder, Fred' Lozon, is also out, which leaves only John King, who has not wrestled as much as either of the others, to carry the load. To make matters worse, the Wolverines' 142-pound winning machine, Bill Schuck, injured rib cartilege in defeating one of his better rivals and won't be ready to go in either meet. "We've been pretty lucky in the last few years. We've been able to put our starting line-up on the mat almostall the time. This year is dif- ferent. I talked to Rick Bay (last year's coach) and he can't understand it either. "We were just lucky I guess." Luck could have picked few more inopportune times to de- sert Billy Jo.

"I don't want to talk about Iowa," he snapped; and he didn't. That left only Purdue and Illinois to talk about. "They're both very much im- proved from last year," ob- served Johannesen, adding dry- ly that "Maybe there was no other place for them to go." Still, Michigan must still go out and win the meets. "They're (Purdue and Illi- nois) better than they were last year but we can't lose to them and still maintain our' prestige in the conference." Despite their overall weak- ness both teams have outstand- ing individuals. The 126 pound match between Purdue's Joe Corso and Jim Brown shapes up as the best match of the week- end. The liini are led by a num- ber of fine perforiers in the lighter weights. Bob Check (118), Phi Miller? (126), Bruce Beam (131) and Randy Sulaver (150) are all respectable. A little sunshine should en- ter Billy Jo's life with the return of Dave Curby at 190 pounds. He will face a tough test immediately in the per- son of Illinois' Tom Edgren. If Curby shows good form and Bill Schuck's rib cartilage mends, Johannesen may feel better about mentioning Iowa. from various parts of the Mid- west are competing in the re- lays. It is primarily the same field that competed in last week's Eastern Michigan In- vitational, with Michigan State added to the field. There will be several notable appearances and absenses when the 7 p.m. finals begin. Stan Vinson of Eastern Michi- gan has one of the more recog- nizeable names. Vinson broke the world record in the 410- yard dash on an indoor 220 oval track last week at EMU. His; time was a stunning 47.0. I THE 60-YARD DASH should be the night's most exciting event, with EMU's lasely Crawford going up against the recently-declared-ineligible Mar- shall Dill of Michigan State. Dill, a noted world-class sprint- er, did poorly last quarter in the book department and is run- ping as an independent. Michigan's chances in the meet have been hurt by injuries to two key runners. James Grace, a freshman quarter- SCORES relays miler who ran 47.4 in high school, is injured, as is Andy Johnson, a sophomore who was third in the Big Ten in the 1000-yard run last year. Michigan coach Jack Harvey was particularly chagrinned at Grace's unavailability. "We would have killed them (EMU in thermile-relay) with Grace in there," said Harvey. Harvey is missing one other star, shotputter and football placekicker Mike Lantry. Lan try is eligible to compete, but hasn't thrown yet. "HE (LAN VY) told mZ he wanted to tbruw, and th'is thej last I hea'Id irom him," said Harvey. "What's happening s" he's waiting on the pro draft. If he gets drafted, he'll go where the money is." But Wolverine Dave Williams,; who was fourth in the indoor NCAA in the 600-yard run last year will be there, along with a contingent from Ron War iurst's Big Ten championship cross country team. Inspired by their fine new structure, they could tak a run at favored EMU. THE LANDSCAPE OF HELL A SLIDE PRESENTATION ON THE HOLOCAUST SITES OF PRESENT-DAY POLAND At A. E.

Kunz, at 6-6 and 268 pounds, has been an All-Pro choice three times and played in the Pro Bowl four times. He was the Falcons' first pick upon graduation from Notre Dame in 1966. "Kunz is one of the best drive blockers I've seen in a long time," said Baltimore General Manager Joe Thomas. "He is a proven player who will be -28 this July, and he should have a number of good years left." The Colts also gave up what - was described as a medium round selection in the draft to obtain Kunz. "One thing the Colts have lacked is size and strength on the offensive and defensive lines," Thomas said. "I've been wvorking on this since I've beenhere, and this is an- other step forward." Atlanta had the third choice in the first round of the draft, so the Colts will myke their se- lection after the Dallas Cow- boys make their pick.
