But unfortunately for the Wolverines, a goaltender does not a hockey team make. Michigan found that out last night, losing to Western Michigan, 4-3 in overtime before a crowd of 2,413 in Lawson Arena. THE MICHIGAN goalie made the big plays all night until 3:36 of the overtime period when Western's Pat Ryan broke the 3-3 deadlock. Stuart Burnie centered the puck and Ryan rifled it home from the slot. "I felt we were more consistent, but there's no reason for relaxing," said Michigan head coach Red Berenson. "We have to get on an even keel. (Makris) played very well. He played well enough to win." MICHIGAN TIED the game at 3-3 late in the third period when Tom Stiles worked the puck in to John Bjorkman whose wrist shot beat Western goalie Glen Healy at the 17:41 mark. The presence of leading score Brad Jones was sorely missed by Michigan. The Wolverines couldn't put together Wolverines, when they needed overall record to 6-10-1.

Levy Holiday Bowl blues? .... ... only for the ignorant W ould you believe that this column was going to be devoted to the world of professional wrestling? It was. Professional wrestling is a sad commentary on the lower-middle class in-20th century American society. But, alas, what can I do to change the values of those who live and die with professional wrestling? Nothing. There is one thing, though, that I am quite capable of doing. And that is straightening out you poor, misguided, upper-middle class LS&A students who know a pathetically small amount about the world of big-time college football. In this past Thursday's Daily, our glorified opinion page ran a real piece of garbage in the top slot, entitled, "Holiday Bowl: Bad Timing An LS&A senior submitted the opinion, highly critical of Michigan's elec- tion to accept a bid to the December 21 bowl game. Complained the poor boy: "An event like this hurts the reputation of the University. When the image of this institution is hurt, your chance of getting a job when competing with others of different schools is significantly decreased. "I am outraged that Michigan accepted the bowl bid to play in the Holiday Bowl." The spoiled brat is angered because with the Wolverines competing in the Holiday Bowl, his market value will be significantly decreased. I am now going to correct this lacking individual and hopefully all you doubters will have a little more food for thought. Mr. Opinion blasted Michigan's director of athletics Don Canham, because the players and band members making the trip to sunny San Diego have to reschedule all final examinations occuring after December 17. Big deal! Rescheduling a final exam is about as difficult as getting accep- ted as an undergraduate to Eastern Michigan. For the majority of band members, the trip to California will offer an un- matched experience. Band director Eric Becher certainly won't have problemsgetting people to make the trip. As a matter of fact, Becher can't take all the people he would like to. Mr. Opinion challenged Canham on failing to uphold his policy of not per- mitting a bowl game to interfere with academics. I know for a fact, that Mr. Opinion has probably never met Canham and certainly never discussed "Michigan bowl policy" with the head hor.cho. Several years ago, before Michigan had built its indoor practice facility, the Wolverines flew out to Pasadena a full two weeks before the January 1 Rose Bowl. In those days, final exam conflicts presented themselves and were resolved. I have confidence that the University can accommodate anyone who needs to be, in this case, a team of football players and a group of band members. It might be interesting to note, that Michigan football players NEVER miss classes to travel to away games. The team departs Ann Arbor Friday afternoon and returns immediately following the Saturday afternoon battle. Not wanting to leave final exams alone, Mr. Opinion compares Michigan to seven other schools, which he alleges refused to go to the Holiday Bowl because of such final exam conflicts. With the questionnable exception of Notre Dame and definitely Wisconsin, don't anyone ever compare Michigan's standard of excellence with such mediocre institutions as: Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Penn State and Purdue. These universities are not worthy of comparison. By the way, the Holiday is still considered a second-rate bowl. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Nebraska had far more attractive bowl options and for a far larger payoff. Michigan will always be the choice over schools like Wisconsin and Purdue, for simple reasons of reputation and tradition. Notre Dame was destined for the Aloha Bowl and Penn State simply suffered an embarrassing season, although not quite as bad as either Alabama or Pit- tsburgh. The Rose it is not, but the Holiday Bowl is a wonderful opportunity for the 1984 Wolverines. A victory over top-ranked Brigham Young would only add to the luster of Wolverine tradition. I would be amazed if any current student is denied employment because of Michigan's presence in the Holiday Bowl. Don't be ashamed of your univer- sity, Mr. Opinion, be ashamed of yourself. Sey ... nets SPOR TS OF THE DAILY: Isiah, Pistons underine Nuggets PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) - Isiah Thomas scored 19 of his 27 points in the second half to lead the Detroit Pistons to a 122-115 National Basketball Association victory over the Denver Nuggets last night. It was the third straight defeat for the Nuggets, who saw their record in the Midwest Division slip to 13-6. The Pistons moved a game over .500 at 11-10 in the Central Division. DENVER'S high scoring Alex English scored 21 of his 32 points in the first half as the Nuggets took a 65-62 lead at intermission. A turnaround 10-foot jumper by Terry Tyler pulled the Pistons to within 78-77 with 7:57 remaining in the third quar- ter. Thomas hit a 10-footer from the left wing 37 seconds later to put the Pistons ahead 79-78 and Detroit never trailed again. Vinnie Johnson, who finished with 24 points, kept the cold-shootinig Pistons in the game during the early going, not- ching 14 points in the first half. Dan Roundfield and Bill Laimbeer added 14 points each for Detroit. Calvin Natt scored 25 points for Den- ver and Lafayette Lever finished with 24 for the Nuggets. Detroit 5, Chicago 4 DETROIT (AP) - Steve Yzerman scored his 12th goal of the season mid- way through the final period last night to snap a tie and lift the Detroit Red Wings to their third straight National Hockey League victory, a 5-4 decision over the Chicago Black Hawks. Curt Fraser's second goal of the night pulled the Black Hawks even at 4-4 early in the final period, but Yzerman jammed Reed Larson's centering pass by Chicago netminder Warren Skorodenski 7:15 later to give Detroit a 5-4 lead. The Red Wings grabbed a 2-0 lead on first-period goals by Danny Gare and Kelly Kisio, but Steve Larmer netted a pair in the second to tie the score 2-2. The Red Wings took a 3-2 advantage onivan Bolidrev's goal at 7:52 of the middle period and Ron Duguay added his 14th 7:12 later before Fraser scored his first of the night with 2:58 remaining in the second period to cut Detroits lead to 4-3. Tigers trade HoJo; Braves sign Sutter HOUSTON (AP)-The World Series champion Detroit Tigers made their first trade of baseball's winter meetings yesterday, sending third baseman Howard Johnson to the New York Mets for pitcher Walt Terrell. Terrell was 11-12 with the Mets this year. He will join right-handers Jack Morris, Dan Petry and Milt Wilcox in the Tigers' starting rotation. TERRELL, 26, HAD a 3.52 earned run average in 33 starts this season. The switch-hitting Johnson hit .248 with 12 home runs and 50 runs batted in in 1984. "At 24, Johnson has yet to touch the tip of his athletic abilities," Mets General Manager Frank Cashen said. "He will add a new dimension to our at- tack." ALSO AT THE winter meetings, a flurry of million-dollar signings and multi-player trades wrapped up baseball's 1984 winter meetings yester- day with free-agent relief pitcher Bruce Sutter joining the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago Cubs re-signing one of their pitching aces, Steve Trout. Sutter agreed to a six-year, $10 million contract with the Braves in Atlanta. Trout is the second of four free-agent pitchers re-signed by the Cubs, who are intent on keeping their division-winning team intact. IN OTHER ACTION: -The White Sox engineered two trades with the Montreal Expos, acquiring pitcher Bob James and dealing away infielder Vance Law in one of the exchanges. -Oakland and Milwaukee exchanged veteran pitchers, Don Sutton going to the A's for Ray Burris and a minor leaguer. -Free-agent Lee Lacy signed a four- year contract with the Baltimore -Orioles, who are trying to rebuild their offense. Sutton may not report MILWAUKEE (AP) - Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Don Suton, traded to the Oakland A's yesterday, said he sees no reason why he should report to his new team. "I don't see any reason why I should," he said two hours after the trade. "I'm not pleased. I'm not hap- Py" THE BREWERS made the trade at baseball's winter meetings in Houston yesterday in exchange for veteran right-hander Ray Burns, left-hander Eric Barry and a player to be named later. However, Sutton said Oakland was not close enough and called the fact that it is a 50-minute flight from his home "no consolation." Attendance; 2,414 LIBERAL ARTS MAJORS...
