No official team point totals were kept, but the Wolverines took seven of ten weight classes in competition with Central Michigan, Eastern, Toledo, and Oakland. Michigan's depth allowed it to take most of the second and third places as well. WOLVERINE COACH Dale Bahr said the surprising performance of Michigan's younger wrestlers brought out the best in the veterans. This was demonstrated in the 142-pound class, where senior Rickey Moore pinned Michigan freshman Tim Mansfield, who was leading 6-2 at the time, for first place. The 126-pound competition saw freshmen John Fisher and Jerry Norris take first and second respectively. Fisher was named Michigan's outstan- ding wrestler last week in the Hall of Fame Classic in his first meet as a Wolverine. Freshman Guy Russo, making the switch up from 142 pounds, took second in the 150-pound division to junior Tony Latora's first. Michigan also swept the 134-pound class. Senior Joe McFarland, moving up from 126 pounds where he went 48-5 last season, took first easily, while senior Mike DerGarabedian beat out freshman Joe White for second. MICHIGAN'S SENIORS were not to be outdone. In addition to the triumphs of Moore and McFarland, seniors Scott Rechsteiner and Kirk Trost won their weight classes. Trost, who won the Wolverine Open last year in the 190- pound division, added the heavyweight championship to his impressive list of victories. Rechsteiner, who qualified for the NCAA championships two years ago, won his second straight Wolverine Open title at 177 pounds. The one negative event of the meet occured when junior Kevin Hill injured his knee in the process of winning the 167-pound class. The extent of the in- jury is not known but the loss of Hill for any period of time will hurt the team. Freshman James Dye is Michigan's only other 167 pounder. But Don For- chione, who weighs 158, can wrestle in Hill's class as he showed by taking third at 167. SENIOR BILL ELBIN, a 177 poun- der, filled in for Trost at 190 and took third. Sophomore Jerome Curby, who ran up a 69-13 record at Pioneer High before wrestling for Michigan at 177 last year, placed fourth at 190. Junior Steve Richards, who went 12- 13-1 last year wrestling at 158, 167, and 177 pounds, snatched second at 158. Chris Wray, also a junior, finished second in the 118-pound class. Coach Bahr was pleased with the team's performance in the tournament, which he called "a tune-up match (for) getting the whole team in and seeing who can compete." Bahr's boys will get some more prac- tice over the next two weeks in Dayton's Ohio Open and the Northern Open in Madison, Wisconsin. Judging from Sunday's performance, the Wolverine wrestlers are getting revved up and ready to compete in the Big Ten. 1. Michigan State ... 2. Illinois-Chicago .. 3. Lake Superior .... 4.

Trost ... takes heavyweight title Blue L"ines1 Today's math lesson.. .. ... no goals equals no wins WXT By CHRIS GERBASI WVHO turned out the lights on Michigan's hockey team? Certainly someone must have pulled a plug on the Wolverines' power play. Perhaps a group of 25 imposters have been skating around in the Maize and Blue the past three weekends. These players who have gone down to defeat the last five games just can't be the same team that won four out of their first five contests. After scoring 31 times in those first five games, coach Red Berenson looked like a prophet. He had predicted before the season that he would get double the goal production from his two top lines and, lo and behold, he was right. Sophomore Brad Jones was scoring at a surprising rate and everyone was chipping in. The Wolverines even rose to fifth in the national coaches' poll and then ... well, what happened? Somehow, on a Saturday night in Bowling Green, things started going sour for Michigan. They scored only one goal that night and have totaled only 12 in the five losses. Berenson has lamented the inability of his power play to put the puck in the net. He has probably grown tired of repeating his dissatisfaction with his penalty killers. And, to the casual observer, these are the major problems plaguing the team. ainst Michigan State this past weekend, the Wolverines went 0-for-13 in two games while having a one-man advantage. On the other side of the ledger, they allowed the Spartans three power play goals. In fact, MSU scored more on Michigan's power play than Michigan did, as Spartan left wing Dale Krentz tallied a shorthanded goal. One shorthanded goal is a fluke. Two are frustrating. The four shorthan- ded goals the Wolverines have given up this season are an embarassment and the reasons for those goals are the underlying reasons for the five-game slide. Simply put, Michigan has tremendous difficulty clearing the puck out of its own zone and maintaining control in the opponents' end of the rink. Against the Spartans, the Wolverines were continually outskated up and down the ice and constantly outraced to loose pucks. Berenson can count on the fingers of one hand the number of rebound opportunities his team had in the two games. Michigan State, on the other hand, controlled the puck vir- tually at will, firing two or three shots every time they got down the ice. The State series was not an aberration. These things have been happening all season. Michigan managed to outscore teams like Miami and Ferris State, but it wasn't because of a lack of scoring chances for the opponents. The Wolverines were less fortunate against New Hampshire and State. They couldn't afford to give these more talented teams second and third chances, but they did and it cost them. Berenson knew about all the problems facing him when he took the coaching job. He admitted his team was not a good skating team and that they had problems in their own end. So what can be done at this point? A coach can't make slow skaters faster or poor skaters better over night. But Berenson can work on, and has been working on the power play and penalty killing. But a-three for 56 "success" rate is little to show for his efforts. Berenson wants a leader, a take-charge guy who can put some electricity into the powerless play. No one has assumed that role to this point and until someone does, Berenson will juggle his lines and look for even a semblence of a productive combination. Michigan isn't playing well enough to beat any team right now and if it continues to make the same mistakes, Berenson could find himself in a deep hole by Christmas looking up at the rest of the CCHA. The next three weekends in particular, against improved teams Illinois- Chicago and Lake Superior and the always-tough Ohio State, will shed some light on whether the Wolverines are headed for another dark season.

Rm. 2400, Michigan Union Harriers go down, Schroeder goes East By STEVE HERZ They came, they saw, and that was pretty much about it. First-year coach Sue Parks knew it was the day of reckoning for her squad when it battled the hilly terrain of the University of Illinois golf course, and the the best of the midwest Saturday at the NCAA district finals. BUT FOR ALL their improvement and all of their effort, the harriers still found themselves nestled in fourth place, close enough to reflect upon the great strides made over the year, yet also close enough to swallow the bitter taste of defeat. Parks knew her team had to finish at least in second place if it had any hope of reaching the NCAA finals. Even a second place finish had no guarantees, due to the heavy politics in- volved in choosing what amounted to be an at large, wild- card, berth. As expected, the nations premier team, Wisconsin, ran away with the meet. The race for second place was between Michigan, Illinois, and unheralded Western Michigan. The Wolverines never came within driving distance. of the Illini, who easily captured second. Western also easily outdistan- ced the Wolverines for third place. There was a bright spot for Michigan in the otherwise gloomy day. Junior Sue Schroeder, individually, ran her way into the NCAA finals with a sterling fifth place finish. She will be on her way to Penn State to race against the nation's finest Monday. Schroeder did not let her personal triumph take precedence over the team's misfortune. "OF COURSE IT was somewhat disappointing. It wasn't that we ran terrible, it's just that the other teams ran so well," she said. Schroeder was pleased with her own showing, saying "I was very happy of course." Yet she did not seem overly excited by what she accomplished. "I guess you could say I knew I had a chance and I'd be really disap- pointed if I didn't make it." Schroeder has one week before she faces off against the top 150 to 200 runners Cross Country has to offer. Schroeder is neither scared nor cocky going to the NCAA's. "I'm shooting for the top thirty," she said. v. . ..:. ... .:.. . v. : .p Y y.v ^. }...{. ;. . : SPORTS OF THE DAILY: Bruce criiie m1 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)-Earle Bruce, Ohio State University's football coach, lectured members of the media about their methods yesterday, with particular criticism reserved for stories about athletes' problems and preseason reports that he would be fired. His lecture came in response to a tended to dismiss either Bruce, basket- ball Coach Eldon Miller, or both men after a new athletic direcor was hired. Hitch was candidate for the Ohio State athletic directorship last spring. "I don't know about that. Do you know that? I don't think you know what he(Hitch) said because I talked to the man, too," Bruce said. BRUCE HAS coached Ohio State into the Big Ten lead with a 6-2 record and an overall mark of 8-2. The Buckeyes need a victory over Michigan to clinch the undisputed conference champion- ship and a Rose Bowl berth. Bruce said, "If you believe everything you read in the newspaper, you'll go crazy because not everything printed in that paper is true as I know. If it's printed, some people think it's true." The Ohio State coach said he plans to call a postseason news conference after what he called "the Roman Bates thing" is concluded. "I am going to talk about why players leave football teams. I think that's im- portant for you people to know. But there are some things that are very personal that can't be discussed when things are going on," he said. LAST WEEK Bates, 20, a junior fullback from Memphis, Tenn., was charged by university police with two misdemeanors, assault and sexual im- position, involving a 19-year-old female non-student from suburban Wor- thington. The case stemmed from even- ts outside Steeb Hall, a campus dor- mitory, late Saturday night, Nov. 3. Bates, who is a sophomore in terms of eligibility, told Bruce he wanted to leave the team after he was charged. His attorney has requested a jury trial in Franklin County Municipal Court. aiulatn media Bates was a regular early in the season laughed the case out, and yet I still hear before injuries took him out of the line- some people talk about that." up. Bruce was referring to allegations by Dennis Hueston, 20, a senior a 19-year-old coed who told campus linebacker from Toledo who also was a police that she was raped repeatedly in starter, quit after last Monday's prac- two rooms in Steeb Hall during the late tice and returned home.
