Weinberger, it seems, was strug- gling to defeat to Secretary of State George (Don't Call Me Charlie Brown) Shultz in the White House Secretaries' Griddes pool each week. When former basement secretary Fawn Hall beat Weinberger last week, Caspar decided to hang it up. In a related story, Deng Xiaoping stepped down amid rumors of Griddes reform in China.

He led the Wolverines in game-winning goals in his first season with three. "Whenever we put him on the ice in crucial situations, he delivers," said Berenson. He's also very durable. The Calgary, Alberta, native hasn't missed a game in his Wolverine career. "He plays even when he's hurt," said Berenson. "He'd have to be very badly hurt before he doesn't play." Despite the fact that Brost didn't score his first goals until last weekend, when he picked up two against UIC, Brost has been playing well. "It may have been a slow start statistically, but it wasn't a slow start playing-wise," said Berenson. "He' s been playing very well." Bowlin Green head coach Jerry York agrees. After the Bowling Green series, in which Brost failed to score, York gave rave reviews. "I can't really comment on the Michigan players until I see the films," said York. "But Brost really stood out on (the Michigan) team." Michigan goalie Warren Sharples who attended a Penticton, British Columbia, high school with Brost, believes that Brost has always been special. "He's always stood out," said 4 Photo by JOHN MUNSON Sharples. "He's always been head and shoulders above the rest in his own Wolverines. way. He's got quite a following (at Penticon).
