Hockey: Expect to rebound
from
inconsistent
season
By JOHN NIEMEYER
Three years ago if someone
mentioned hockey to the aver-
age Wolverine sports fan, he
would probably have laughed
and said, "Oh yeah, they do
have a hockey team somewhere
at this school, don't they?"
In 1973, the hockey team was
coming off a miserable season
with only five wins, existing as
a nonentity in the myriad of
Michigan sports excellence. But
they had a new coach, Dan

Daily Sports wants you!
By FFATS STROPS
So you wanna write sports.
You say you choke on your Rice Krispies
each morning when you read Joe Falls' lat-
est perversion of the English language?
You say you could do just as well if only
given the chance? Well, here's your chance.
The Michigan Daily Sports Staff wants you.
JOIN THE Daily and see the world. May-
be an all-expenses-paid trip to Minneapolis
with the basketball team. Or maybe to Du-
luth with the hockey team. Or at least to
East Lansing with the wrestlers:
Join the Daily and make (a little) money.
After a few months on the staff, we'll pay
you enough to support the beer habit you'll
undoubtedly develop after a while here.
Join the Daily and get JOURNALISTIC
EXPERIENCE. Experience unlike anything
the fairy-tale world of the Journalism Dept.
can give you.
ABOVE ALL, join the Daily and have a
good time. Play football and basketball with
the world-famous, unbeaten Daily Libels. Go
to some of the most degenerate, insane, dis-
gusting, FUN parties around. Meet some of
the most interesting people on campus, like
Paul 'Campbell, our resident lunatic, or
Rick Bonino, who somehow survived a Ta-
was City upbringing to become the world
leading wrestling writer.
Or Johnny Orr, college basketball's Coac
of the Year and one of the funniest peop
around. Don Canham, the wealthy wizar
behind the nation's richest athletic depar
ment.
Obligations? (Better known as "th
catch.") You must work one night per week
That means showing up at the Daily (4
Maynard St.) at 7 p.m. and staying unti
about 1 -a.m. During this time you will (
first) proofread stories and write headline
among other menial tasks.
YOU MUST write stories, which is actua
ly a privilege, not an obligation. You'll wri
about one story per week.
You must attend our weekly Sunday mee
ings, the first and most important of whic
will be September 12 at 7 p.m.
Prerequisites? None, though familiari
with the English language has been helpf
to some. No journalism experience is nee
ed. We'll teach you.
So dron by anytime and talk to Bill, Ric
Andv or Rick or whoever is lonnging aroun
snorts desk at the time. We'll be more tha
hanny to show you around. At least giveu
a chance.
