By RICK BONINO 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.

By MARK WHITNEY 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 .

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. DNK DRIVER, DEP.
