IIOUGHTON - The way the Michigan Tech
Huskies were buzzing around Michigan goaltender
Frank Zimmerman in the icers' 6-2 loss last night,
you'd have thought the senior netminder had
smeared himself with honey.
The Huskies, with only a 6-6 league record going
into the game, played like the Huskies of old in pep-
pering Zimmerman with 39 shots including 21 in the
second period. Time after time the northerners
found a man making a beeline for the slot, and too
often Michigan got stung.
Sophomore Rodger Moy and freshman Bret
Bjerken scored two goals each for Tech, while Dean
Turner and Kip Maurer tallied for Michigan.
Michigan was outplayed both offensively and
defensively, as Tech goalie John Rockwell shut
down the Wolverines' high-powered offense, which
had averaged more than six goals a game.
The Wolverines scored first in the game when
Dan Lerg's centering pass was deflected past
Rockwell by Maurer at the 5:09 mark. Dave Debol
also assisted on Maurer's 16th goal of the year, tops
in the league.
Then Tech's Bjerken scored the first of his two
goals, making a nice move around defenseman
John Waymann and beating Zimmerman to tie it at
1-1.

Huskies lead 2-1 after the first period.
The second period saw intense pressure in front of
both nets. The Huskies had numerous chances and
they capitalized on two of them.
Moy made it 3-1 banging in a rebound after Zim-
merman had made two consecutive pad saves.
Turner then notched his power play goal to bring
Michigan back within one. Turner's blast came
from the point with just two seconds left in Nick
Schwartz's penalty.
Tech's Dave Joelson put the Huskies ahead by two
on another rebound shot and Tech led 4-2.
In the third stanza Michigan played
lackadaisically, but Michigan Tech scored on two
sweet set-ups by sophomore Gordie Salt. Moy was
the beneficiary of the first one, and Dana Decker
capitalized on the second one.
With Michigan trailing 6-2 late in the game the
Wolverines got their final chance to make good,
when Tech's Lou Drazenovich was sent off for
charging. But Rockwell again kicked everything
*away, and the 3,393 fans at the Student Ice Arena
rejoiced as the seconds ticked away.
Michigan centerman Dan Lerg injured his knee in
the second period and did not return for third period
action. He is considered doubtful for tonight's con-
test.

ding in goal, as the score could have easily gotten
intodouble figures for the Huskies.
The offense never really got it going either, as
Michigan threw many blind passes.
The loss dropped Michigan's conference to 9-4,
and the Wisconsin Badgers moved into a tie with
them for second in the WCHA with their 6-2 victory
over Michigan State..

Male tankers down
Oakland U. .86-27
By TOM STEPHENS
Going into yesterday's home opening meet with Oakland, Wolverine
swim-coach Gus Stager's main problem was to avoid a repetition of what
he called "the terrible swimming we did in Toronto last week." His team
faced the same obstacle once again-psyching up for a meet they knew they
could win.
Stager's fears appeared groundless, however,as the tankers, led by an
overwhelming group of young freestylers, demolished the Pioneers, 87-26,
allowing them only one first, two seconds and four thirds in the individual
events.
THE EXCEPTIONALLY strong Michigan freestylers, many of whom
were not even swimming in their best events, took all three places in the 50
and 500-yard free, 1st and 2nd at 100 and 200 yards, and 1st and 3rd in
the 1000. Their spectacular performances and the strong showing of the
Wolverine divers gave Michigan a large early lead that made the meet's
outcome inevitable.
Taking firsts for the Wolverines were Larry Schroeder (:21.42 in the
50 free), Bob Murray (:47.5 in the 100 free), Paul Griffith (1:44.67 in
the 200 free), Fernando Canales (4:39.0 in the 500 free), John Slykhouse
(10:09.7 in the 1000 free) and the team of Griffith, Schroeder, Murray, and
Tom Pederson in the 400 yard free relay.
MATT CHELICH won the 3-meter diving and Mike Darland the 1-meter.
Rounding out the winners for Michigan were Kevin Morgan (200 breast),
Jay Herrald (200 butterfly), and Don Peper (200 ind. medley).
Stager was "very pleased" with the meet, adding the fact that although
only four of his swimmers had been able to reach their ambitious target
times, almost all had.come very close.

Downing Flyers' defensive chore

R"Unnng time .. .
. .. sets game back
By BILLY NEFF
WHEN JAMES NAISMITH, the father of basketball, was putting up his
peach basket in Springfield, Massachusetts, he probably thought
women should be relegated to the home, but more importantly, to second
class status. Supposedly, times have changed in the last 100 years.
Well, Wednesday night, we regressed into the twenties at Crisler Arena
when the women's basketball quintet was forced to finish their game early
and evacuate the court in favor of the men's game.
The women's basketball team was playing a highly respected Louis-
ville five in a preliminary game before the men's game between the same
two schools. The women play forty minutes, the same as the men, and
they play with a clock that stops on all whistles, just like the men.
During the second half of the women's opener, however, in order to
speed up time prior to the men's game, the clock was kept running through
the last four minutes of the contest, which prevented a courageous Louisville
team from possibly overtaking our hoopsters. More significantly, it pre-
vented a women's team, who had traveled 400 miles to play, the proper
*chance of competing.
"We were very unhappy with it," commented Louisville's coach Terri
Hall. "It was not in the contract; we feel like we were discriminated
against and we don't think that it (the game with Michigan) was an official
game."
Hall asked the athletic director at Louisville, Dave Hart, to write to
Don Canham, which he has done, and ask for a public apology. Hall also
requested that the game, which went into the books as a 71-68 Michigan
victory, be credited as "no contest," since she felt they were deprived of'
the chance of winning.
Who made the decision to speed this game up? Mr. Charles Harris,
Michigan's assistant athletic director issued this ruling, after consulting
with Michigan basketball coaches Bill Frieder and Johnny Orr. "The offi-
cials of Louisville requested that they (the Louisville men's team) be able
to take the floor," explained Harris.
But AD Hart did not know of any Louisville officials who made such
a request. And Louisville coach Denny Crum added, "I didn't make any
request."
Michigan coach Johnny Orr attributed the game speed up to the radio
and TV commitments. "The game was supposed to start at 8:05 and we
had to get 35 minutes on the floor practice time, according to NCAA
rules," said Orr.
A spokesman for TV station WHAS (Louisville), the station in question,
denied the allegation, stating, "We didn't make them speed it up."
According to the director of rules interpretations for the NCAA, Mr.
Ed Stitz, of Springfield, Massachusetts, "There is no such rule in the rule-
book that says a certain amount of time has to be allotted to practice time."
So there it is, no one really knows the answer. Isn't that true in any
bureaucracy? And as in any bureaucracy, someone is hurt by what seems
to be the selfish desires of others.
Wolverine star guard Denise Cameron summed up the situation beau-
tifully. "It showed us no rank at all," she said. "They gotta give us a
chance to promote our game too."
it would be pretty tough to promote your game, Denise, when you're
told to evacuate the floor as quickly as possible. Jim Vruggink, Michigan's
assistant sports information director, when asked what would have hap-
pened at the end of regulation time if the game had been tied, coldy replied,
"It would not have gone into overtime. It would have stayed a tie."
So after hours of recruiting, practice time and sheer sweat, it would
have been left a tie. Why didn't Mr. Harris just ask both coaches to just
play "next basket wins?"
Mr. Naismith, we might as well resurrect you since, after that game
the other night, we regressed so much. And I thought the idea of sports,
especially collegiate sports, was merely for the thrill of competing. I guess,
Mr. Harris, you showed me I was wrong.

This is what the Michigan cagers
would like to be called after today's
game against Dayton. It's crucial for
the Wolverines to return to their
winning ways, and beating Dayton at
home seems much easier, than de-
feating Alabama on the road next
Wednesday.
"One of the keys for the successes
in the past four years has been our
ability to bounce back after a loss,"
said assistant coach Bill Frieder.
The Wolverines' obstacle is an ex-
perienced Dayton team which cur-
rently is 4-1. The Flyers fell to
Temple, 63-52, while Michigan was
losing to Louisville on Wednesday.
Dayton gained attention earlier this
year by knocking off Syracuse on
November 28, 76-67.
Leading Dayton in its victory over
Syracuse was senior forward Erv
Giddings (6-7). The Detroit Chadsey
product netted 24 points and grabbed
11 rebounds against the Orangemen.
His season average is 13 points and
nine rebounds.
Junior guard Jim Paxson (6-5),
who had 14 against Syracuse, serves
as the nucleus to the Flyers' offen-
sive attack. He has ripped the nets
for an average of 18.4 points per
game.
"I'm going to be guarding the man
who the offense is geared around -
Paxson," Wolverine guard Tom Sta-
ton said. "My job is just going to be to
contain him." Staton added that his
strategy will be to interfere with
Paxson's timing. "With the passing
game, the timing is important."
Staton is referring to the Flyers'
deliberate offensive style of play.
"They're patient on offense. They
run a passing game, and they work
for the jump shot," Frieder said.
"They have an offense very tough
to guard," said Staton. "It's going to
be a test for a young defense.
Defensively, guarding that offense
for an entire game will be a
formidable task."
Frieder disclosed Michigan's goal.
"We just hope to hold Dayton to 65
points. [The Flyers have averaged 78
points per game.] We feel if we can
hold them to 65 we can beat them.
"A lot of times when you set a
defensive goal to hold a team down to
a certain number of points, it's

unrealistic, because of the pace of the
game. They (Dayton) might slow it
up some," he said.
Will a slow game hurt Michigan?
"That doesn't really bother us. We
would prefer to play fast, but I think
we can play that way," Coach
Johnny Orr said.
Orr explained that the major worry
in a slow-paced game is shot selec-
tion. "We have not taken that many
bad shots, but when we have, we
have taken them at bad times," he
said.
"There are reasons for taking bad
shots. One is because they don't know
any better, but I'd like to think the
Michigan players know better. The
other reason for taking a bad shot is
fatigue. You don't want to run so you
up it. Then another guy sees you up
it, so he ups it," Orr said.
The other key player for Dayton is
senior center Terry Ross (6-9). He
has averaged 13.4 points and crashed
the boards at a 7.8 rate per game.
The other two probable starters
are sophomore guard Jack Zimmer-

man (6-2) and sophomore forward1
Tim Pohlman (6-8). Both played in 26
of Dayton's 27 games last year.
Zimmerman has averaged 10.6
points so far this year, and Pohlman
has scored at a 3.8 points per game
pace.
"Experience should be a major1
strength of this club," said Coach1
Don Donoher who has ten returning
lettermen. "I think another strength
will be out size. If we play taller it
should help our rebounding, passing,
and our match ups on defense."
Dayton's height advantage will test .
Michigan's ability to play over its
size. The Wolverines might as well
get accustomed to the size problem,
because they will be at a disadvan-
tage in most of their games.
On defense, the height advantage
may be secondary in importance,
since Dayton switches its defensive
strategies. "They're a good defen-
sive team. They mix their defense up
between man to man and zone,''
Frieder said.
Michigan's starting lineup will be

the same as it has been; Staton, Alan
Hardy, Joel Thompson, Mike McGee
and David Baxter.
"Who we substitute will depend on
who they have in there. If they have a,
small lineup, then we'll go in with
(Johnny) Johnson. If they have a
taller one, then we'll bring in (Paul)
Heuerman or one of the other
centers," Frieder said.

Tigers spike Veryzer; Reds get Blue?

HONOLULU (AP) - The Detroit
Tigers sent shortstop Tom Veryzer to
the Cleveland Indians for outfielder
Charlie Spikes in a trade completed at
baseball's winter meetingsyesterday.
Veryzer batted .197-witf two homers
and 28 runs batted in as the Tigers'
regular shortstop through much of last
season. Spikes hit .232 with three
homers and 11 RBI in 32 games with the
Indians and spent most of the year at
Toledo of the International League.
In another major transaction, the
Cincinnati Reds obtained ace left-
hander Vida Blue from the Oakland A's.
In exchange for Blue, the Reds sent
minor league infielder Dave Revering

and an undisclosed amount of cash to
the A's.
The undisclosed amount of cash is
believed to be in excess of $1 million,
which makes the deal subject to ap-
proval by baseball commissioner
Bowie Kuhn.
In other baseball action:
* St. Louis sent relief pitcher Al
Hrabosky (6-5, 10 saves, 4.40 era) to
Kansas City in exchange for reliever
Mark Littell (8-4, 12 saves).
" The New York Yankees signed free
agent relief pitcher Rawley Eastwick
(5-9, 11 saves, 3.09 era) to a multiyear
contract. The amount of the contract
was not immediately released.

Gloria Soluk learned a lot in her suc-
cessful debut against Louisville Wed-
nesday night but she feels she'll learn

"CENTRAL has an extremely fine
ball club," Soluk continued, "But we do
have a few surprises for them defen-
sively."
There will be no surprises however,
as to who will play the major part of the
game for the Wolverines. They will
open with guard Denise Cameron, the
team's best shooter, guard Brenda
Venhuizen, superlative freshwoman
center Abby Currier, and senior co-
captain Terri Conlin, at forward. The
fifth slot is still up in the air.
