In Tuesday's sports page, wrestling writer
Rick Bonino erroneously stated that Michigan
captain Mark Johnson was thrown on his back
at the end of his championship match with
Iowa's Chris Campbell. we have since learned
that this maneuver was actually a last-ditch
offensive move by Johnson.

Five Michigan wrestlers will try to boost
the Big Ten's fourth-place Wolverines into
the nation's top ten when they compete at
the NCAA tournament in Tucson, Arizona
March 13-14.
Representing the Wolverines will be:
freshman Big Ten 126-pound champion Amos
Goodlow; freshman Mark Churella, sec-
ond in the conference at 150; junior captain
Mark Johnson, second at 177; sophomore
Brad Holman, third at 158 and junior Ed
Neiswender, fourth at 167.
"WE'VE GOT A GOOD chance for John-
son, Churella and Goodlow to all be seeded
high," said Michigan coach Bill Johannesen.
"Goodlow could win a national championship
at 126.
"As for the team, we should be shooting
for the top ten, maybe even the top five if
we wrestle well," Johannesen continued.
"However, the seeding is difficult, and the
draws mean a lot in this tourney."
Usually, two or three high place winners
will score enough points to give their team
a top ten berth.
THE BIG TEN SENDS its top three
finishers at each weight and six fourth-place
finishers selected by the conference coaches
to the national tournament.
Iowa, the conference team champion and
national favorite, has qualified all ten of its
wrestlers for the tournament, followed by
runnerup Minnesota, third-place Wisconsin
and Michigan, all with five.
Last year, when they also sent five repre-
sentatives, the Wolverines finished twelfth
nationally.

The Michigan track team com-
petes in the first half of the
Big Ten indoor track champion-
ships today. The meet will run
through Saturday at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin.
On paper, he meet seems to
be a race between the Wolver-
ines, Wisconsin, Illinois and In-
diana. Michigan is slightly fav-
ored, due to the Wolverines'
superior depth.
AS WELL AS depth, six of the'
best times entered for the meet
are held or shared by Michigan,
which is more than any of the
other teams.
Doug Hennigar holds the best
time in the 30-yd. dash, with a
clocking of 30.6 seconds. He also
shares the fastest time for the'
60-yd dash with Tariq Mughal
of Wisconsin at 6.1 seconds.
Jeff McLeod has the top entry
in the 440, 48.6 seconds. Andy1
Johnson gets first position in the
1000-yard run with 2:08.5 min-
utes, and Arnett Chisholm takes
the number one time into he
70-yard high hurdles, 8.3 sec-
onds.
THELAST top entry is the
Michigan mile relay team. The'
relay team change's personnel
often, but the Wolverines take
the best time into the event,
3:13.4.

Abe Butler, Dave Williams,
Mike McGuire, Greg Meyer and
Dave Furst can also be counted
on for strong performances.
Williams is the defending Big
Ten champ in the 600, however
he does not hold this year's
best time.
At least two records should
fall judging from performances
this year. The current record
for the three-mile is 13:26.7, and
Herb Lindsay of Michigan State
has clocked 13:21.4. Bill Knoedel
of Iowa seems a sure be to
break his own Big Ten record
of 7'3" in the high jump. The
defending champion in the event,
Knoedel's best jump this year
squals his record performance.
Everything considered, it will
be a close battle, but if Michi-
gan's top runners perform up to
par, and some help comes from
the second and third men in
each event, he Wolverines will
bring home their first indoor
Big . Ten championship since
1964.

When someone drinks too
much and then drives, it's the
silence that kills. Your silence.
It kills your friends, your
relatives, and people you don't even
know. But they're all people you
could save.
If you knew what to say,
maybe you'd be less quiet. Maybe
fewer people would die.
What you should say is, "I'll
drive you home." Or, "Let me call a
cab." Or, "Sleep on my couch
tonight."
Don't hesitate because your
friend may have been drinking only
beer. Beer and wine can be just as
intoxicating as mixed drinks.
And don't think that black
coffee will make him sober. Black
coffee never made anyone sober.
Maybe it would keep him awake
long enough to have an accident.
But that's about all.
The best way to prevent a
drunk from becoming a dead drunk
is to stop him from driving.
Speak up. Don't let silence
be the last sound he hears.
