GRAD COFF EE SH OU R WEDNESDAY 8-10 p.m. West Conf erence Room, 4th Floor RACKHAM LOTS OF FOOD frustra tionR, defeat By ROBIN WAGNER The handsome, but hockey-rav- aged face of Rick Mallette mirror- ed his sentiments as he spoke. "Frustration, frustration, frustra- tion. After a long period of losing, you just never get any good feel- ings. Sometimes, it's hard to even take the ice, but you have to keep doing your best." Michigan hockey captain Rick Mallette is a four-year veteran of the team. In those four winters,. the pucksters have accumulated a record of 43-74. This season, the senior from Montreal leads the hapless Maize and Blue in scoring with six goals and 18 assists for 24 points. Sitting in the U n i a n Station over a cup of coffee, Mal- lette shared his wide-ranging thoughts with me. Q. Does it bother you to have played on-losing teams during your career here? A. Definitely. Losing was some- thing I'd never faced before I came to Michigan, and it took~ a long tim'e for me to adjust to it. Losing is something I could never get used to. You can't blame the press and the fans for getting down on the team for losing, but when they do, the pressure builds and just not as muchisu a, inng Q. What was the problem with this year's team? a lack of experience would even- tually tell the story and it did. Af- ter we started to lose, the players began to think that maybe we couldn't do it as a team. As a re- suit, a lot of much-needed confi- dence was lost. rhis team contains an incredible bunch of hacd work- ers, but too ofteii, we find our- selves out of position and that's when goals are scored against us. Once all the young players get ex- perience, Michigan is gong to have one fine hockey team. Q. Have the pressures involved with losing taken their toll on this team? A. Yes. It has gotten t> t h e point where some players prefer to play on the road because there is so much pressure on us when we play at the Coliseum. But when a team loses like we have, that is to be expected. Q. What do you conside-- to be your role as captain on this year's Michigan hockey team? A. Considering I am not a great goal scorer, I judged my job as captain to be one of helping every- one (,onmunicate with eaco other, aiding anyone who needed help with their problems and basically, getting the team mentally togeth- er. STAND OUT is that I honestly did my best Q. What have been your greatest thrills and disappointments in hoc- key? A. My greatest thrill has been going to this school and playing hockey here for four years. I've enjoyed all the traveling and all of the people I've met. Let's face it. It's been the greatest experience of my life. As for my biggest hock- ey disappointment. That's defin- itely been trying to escape from defeat and evenrually having to face it. It would have been so much nicer to have played on a winner. Q. Do any of your hockey games here at Michigan stick out in your mind? A. A couple of them do. Last sea- son, the game against Notre Dame in which I scored an overtime goal was a big thrill for me. Another game I remember was back in my freshman year again Wisconsin. Early in the action, I cleanly checked two guys, neither of whom returned to the ice that night. Q. Is scoring a lot of goals im- portant to you? A. To tell you the truth, hitting some guy withrea nce,sclean chek complishment than scoring agoal on the ice and to hit a guy with a powerful, but clean check that he'll remember really makes me feel good. Qr efoeMchgnrr hr A. Yes. I played football for ten years, during which my teems won nine championships af one kind or another, including the Ca- future? A. At the moment, I'm planning on going into teaching. Somewhere I along the line, I wouldn't m i n d doing some hockey coaching, ei- ther. The question and answer session is over. Walking off into the Ann Arbor morning, Rick Mallette car- ries with him my respect and the unrelenting frustrations synono- I mous with Michigan hockey. @00 f rom the Crowd Q. Do you feel you cess as a captain? A. I suppose that were a suc- is for my Make good use A. I knew at the beginning that teammates to decide. All I can say of you r spare time, working on and learning about newspaper production. JOINTH E DA ILY Mass Meeting Tuesday, 7 p.m. ~ENOYA8LEV 14$32 Ga.a wer.

Salt Lake City had been select- ed by the U.S. Olympic Committee Jan. 4 over three other sites as the designated U.S. area to host the games. There hadl been fears that U.S. hopes of hosting the games might be ended by Salt Lake City's withdrawal only a few days before the site was to be selected. But a USOC spokesman said Tuesday the IOC had informed the USOC another U.S. city could bid "providing it had the blessing of the USOC.", The spokesman said the USOC was trying to get its officers to- Doily Photo by DENNY GAINER MICHIGAN HOCKEY CAPTAIN Rick Mallette (10) turns on the speed in action earlier this winter against North Dakota.

Lake Placid, N.Y., among the un- successful previous bidders, had shown continuedt interest 'his month as Salt Lake City's efforts to get guaranteed federal funding met with continued failure. Gan and other Utah officials had in- sisted that federal funding of about $30 million would have to be com- mitted before the city would even present its bid to the IOC at the meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland. Mayor Robert Peacock of Lake Placid said yesterday a local Olym- pic committee will meet to de- cide whether there is time to make a bid.
