GOVERNOR'S CUP AT STAKE!
Trr
op
By PAUL CAMPBELL
Here's a trivia question for
all Michigan hockey fans --
What is the significance of a
trophy called the Governor's
Cup?
Well, we all know the answer
to that. The Governor's Cup is
the famous trophy originated
by former state chief executive
George Romney to be given an-
nually to the team scoring the
most goals in the two game ser-
ies during Michigan Tech's BlueI
Key Winter Carnival.
The cup used to represent
college hockey supremacy in
the state. Tech would host
Michigan and Michigan State
in alternate years, so all three
would get a chance at the
award.

Tankers Canada bound
The Michigan's men swimming team travels to Canada for
two meets this weekend. Tonight the tankers visit Western
Ontario, and tomorrow the Wolverines take on Toronto.
These two meets represent a break for the swimmers. The
trip is basically for fun, but the meets will give the tankers a
chance to keep in shape.
A special grant from the Canadian government pays for the
Michigan team's travel expenses.
Assistant coach Pat Bauer commented, "The trip is
mainly for fun. The meets will give some of the guys a
chance to swim odd events."
By the odd events, Bauer meant events that the swimmers
do not normally swim.
"We will also be putting some of our strong guys in their
events, so the Canadians get to see how we swim them," Bauer
concluded.

Tumblers hit road
Both the men's and women's gymnastics teams hit the road
this weekend for dual meets as the men travel to Iowa City,
Iowa to face the Hawkeyes and the women travel to Kalamazoo
to face Western Michigan in a scrimmage meet..
Iowa, Big Ten champions in 1974, have not shown excep-
tional form yet this year. Last weekend, the Hawkeye tum-
blers only managed 194 points in a dual contest against
Illinois. Nevertheless, Michigan coach Newt Loken remains
wary, labeling Iowa as a "formidable foe" on the Hawkeye's
home surroundings.
Top performers for Iowa include Bob Semienowski on the
pommel horse, Mark Reefkind in the all-around and George Way-
kerland on the high bar.

M skiers second
The Michigan men and women's ski teams raced to second
place last weekend in the Detroit News Race at Alpine Valey.
The Wolverines scored 72 points in the men's division, one point
behind Notre Dame, as John Dehlin placed first in the slalom
event. Michigan State won the women's division with 54 points,!
ten points ahead of Michigan.
This weekend Michigan will be racing in the Ohio Invitational
to be held at Crystal Mountain near Traverse City.
is simply a matter of survival.
The Wolverines league record
of 13-9 leaves them three full
games behind the Huskies.
Michigan still has to face pow-
erful foes Minnesota and Mich-
igan State. Tech, on the other
hand, faces four second divi-,
sion teams in their remaining
series.
"We know how important this
series is," said Wolverine coachj

CONSISTENT 167-POUNDER

Question: Coach Johannesen,
how do you spell dependable?
Answer: N-E-I-S-W-E-N-D-E-Rj
The above represents a fic-
titious exchange, but the senti-
ment rings true. Following a
freshman year on the bench
and a sophomore starting role
cut short by a shoulder injury,
Ed Neiswender has come on to
solidify the 167-pound slot onI
Johannesen's Michigan wrest-'
ling squad.
So far, Neiswender has been
a paragon of consistency. His
12 wins in 16 dual meet matches
include two three-win days and
one two-victory afternoon.
You can also depend on Ed
making do with a minimum of
scoring. His lone superior deci-
sion, on his return after miss-
ing the season's opening triple
dual, came against outclassed
Michigan State freshman Mike
Ley.
Since then, the lanky (6-3),l
deceptively strong junior has
notched six or fewer points in
ten of his eleven other wins.
"I JUST never was a pin-
ner," Neiswender admitted.
"Out of 65 or 70 matches, I've
only pinned two people." 3
"Ed never really looks im-
pressive, but he does the job,"a
Johannesen added. "He just
goes out there and wins."

Young, Koch win first US medals
By The Associated Press
INNSBRUCK - Bill Koch, a
20-year-old cross country skier
in his first Olympics, and Sheila
Young; a 25-year-old multi-tal-
ented speed skater from De-
troit, gave the United States its
first medals - both silver - and
the Americans placed three ski-
ers in the top 15 of the downhill
yesterday in the 12th Winter
Olympic Games.
AUSTRIAN ACE Franz Klam-
mer captured the downhill as
expected, but Andy Hill of As-
pen, Colo., with a sixth place
finish, led a creditable U.S.
showing in the showcase event
of the Alpine program.

awarded Thursday and Russians

ries earned them one perfect

total of 13 marks of 5.9 for
composition and presentation.
Their score for the day was,

ANOTHER Soviet pair, Irinat
Moiseeva and Andrey Minenkov,;
was second with 21.0 ordinals
and 100.08 points and the sur-
prisingly strong American pair
of Miss O'Connor and Millns
collected 26.0 ordinals and 59.84
points.
The medals will be decidedl
after the final freestyle eventi
on Monday.
Later Thursday night, Russian
skaters Irina Rodnina and Alek-

manding lead in the pair's fig-'
ure skating. The competition in-
