HINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Hinnesota basketball team opens its Big Ten

campaign Saturday against a Hichigan State team that has been the surprise of the

yOung season among Conference teams, and is now being hailed as the league'S

"darkhorse.1/

The one certainty of the contest is that Minnesota ts All America forward

candidate, will not be in uniform. '!his was determined defini.tely l-10nday when

Hudson's cast was temporarily removed to permit inspection of the wrist injury

sustained in the Creighton game December 18. By estimate of Trainer Llo~'d Stein

and Coach John Kundla, it will be at least two weeks before Hudson can compete. It

may be longer.

Deapite Hudson ts absence from the lineup, the Gophers scored recent victories

over Detroit, Cornell, and LaSalle and i~ so doing proved they can hit a winning

pace. Encouraging is the fact that four of the current starters -- Captain Archie

Clark, Paul Presthus, Tom Kondla, and Wes Martins -- are in double figures for the

10 games played to date. Clark has proven himself an inspired and inspiring leader

by taking up some of the slack caused by Hudson's loss. He hit 38 points in

~linnesotats 92 - 88 decision over Detroit and is averaging 24.1 points per game.

Clark has connected on 93 of 184 field goal attempts for .505. A figure of special

significance to Coach Kundla is the 100 total rebounds credited to junior forward

Paul Presthus who has come on fast this season after a slow sophomore year. He is

also averaging 14.7 points per game.

An indication of Michigan State's strength is pointed up by its victories overBowling Green, Butler, Notre Dame, Tulane, and Drake. '!he Spartans are particular1.;)radept on defense and will give the Gopher offense a severe test.

HINNEAPOLIS. John Uariucci's University of !1innesota hockey Gophers will be

- out to extend a four-game winning streak when they entertain their old rivals

from Hichigan Friday and Saturday at Williams Arena. Game time is 8:00 each night.

r

r.

..I,·

Minnesota must win both games if it is to climb back into contention in the

Western Collegiate Hockey Association race currently paced by defending playoff

and NCAA champion Hichigan Tech (4-0) and last year's defending regular WCHA

season champ North Dakota (5-1). The Gophers are currently 2-3 in Association

play and 5-4 overall.

Since dropping a hard-fought pair to Tech back in early December, I4ariucci I s

squad has defeated vlisconsin (5-1), Colgate (8-4), North Dakota (6-4) and UMD

(5-4). The Colgate and North Dakota wins gave the Gophers the St. Paul Hockey

Classic title. Hariucci was particularly impressed with the victory over the

Sioux, terming it one of the finest ever produced by one of his teams.

"We've started to jell and we should be tough to handle from now on," the

veteran Minnesota coach speculates. "Our line of Doug Woog, Bruce Larson and

Nike Crupi is coming along real well after a slow start and the line of k>rne

Grosso, Gary Gambucci and Chuck Norby has been doing a good job all year. John

k>throp is one of the best goaltenders in the league. If we continue to play

wi.th the same determination that we showed against North Dakota and UND, we'll

be all right."

Mariucci isn't one to underestimate the opposition, however, He points out

that ftichigan is always tough &~ especially so when matched against Minnesota.

'rne Gophers hold a modest 78-70 advantage in the series, including three out of

four last year. There have been 11 ties.

..

l-

Hockey - #2January 4, 1965

The Wolverines also stand 5-4 on the season and 1-1 in WCHA play, having

split a pair with Denver on the "mile-high" city team I s home rink. Although they

have lost some key men, including All-American defenseman Tom Polonic, they have

last year's leading WCHA scorer, Mel Wakabayashi, back along with eight other

lettermen.

Michigan's most important need would appear to be a consistent goaltender.

Thus far, the job has been shared by Harold Herman, a promising sophomore, and

letterman Greg Page who prepped at St. Paul Murray. Herman has worked both of

Uichigan I s WCHA starts to date, giving up an average of four goals per game and

making 56 stops.

Competition for the Gopher team scoring lead remains tight with Gambucci

holding a slim advantage with II points. Woog and Norby follow with 10 each and

Grosso isn't far behind with nine. Gambucci leads in goals with eight to six each

by Woog and Larson.

Lothrop has a 3.22 average in the nets with a stop percentage of .901. He

has made 264 saves for the season.

HINNEAPOLIS. The University of Hinnesota' s Williams Scholarship Fund has

attained its $50,000 goal for 1965 with $466.84 to spare, thanks to a record total

of 2,191 contributors as well as 10,600 ticket purchasers for various benefit

games during the year.

IIEveryone connected with the \Villiams Fund is extremely grateful to the many

friends of the University and Minnesota athletics who helped put our 1965 drive

over the top," said Athletic Director Marsh Ryman. "Both the total money contri-

buted and the number of contributors were far greater than ever before in the 17-

year history of the Fund. Our special thanks go to the members of the Minneapolis

and St. Paul Williams Scholarship Advisory committees under the chairmanship of

Roy VT. Larsen and E. E. Engelbert respectively. II

The 1965 total exceeds by $11,136 the previous Williams Fund high of $39,330

set in 1951. '!he 1964 campaign total was $36,807.

It is hoped that the increased funds available will make it possible to provide

scholarships for all student-athletes who qualify for Williams aid during the 1966-~7

school year. A total of 63 qualified for assistance during the current school year

but funds were available to provide only 41 scholarships. Football led the way with

nine recipients. Swimming and track were close behind with eight each.

Since 1949 the Williams Fund has provided 448 scholarships at a total expenditure

of $425,222.43. Among the recipients have been such former Gopher greats as Paul

Giel (football), Dick Garmaker (basketball), John Mayasich (hockey), Bud Edelen

(track), Steve Jackman (swimming), Jerry Kindall (baseball), Dave GtUnlia (golf),

Dick Hueller (wrestling) and Ken Bartlett (gymnastics).

}linnesota assistant basketball coach George Hanson served as chairman of the

Athletic Department staff committee which coordinated the 1965 campaign.

place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, hopes to regain its winning

form this weekend when it travels to East Lansing for a series with fifth-place

Jvlichigan State.

MiDnesota had a four-game winning skein snapped and turned into a two-game

losing streak by Michigan last weekend, by scores of 5-4 and 3-1. The sweep

vaulted the Wolverines into second place with a 3-1 record.

'fl·lichigan really surprised me, II Gopher coach John Mariucci admits. III expected

them to be tough, but not that tough. Certainly, I was disappointed with the out-

come, but I was pleased With our comeback Friday after being down 3-1 early in the

third period. II The Gophers almost pulled out that one with a three-goal rally.

IIHaroosh ll hopes to have wing Bruce Larson back in action against the Spartans.I

~ Larson missed the Michigan series due to the death of his mother last week. IIDoug,

(v{oog) missed Larson, II Mariucci declares. IIThey have played together ever since

they were at South St. Paul High and they know each other's moves pretty well.I

~ Woog also was not at top efficiency physically. He's been bothered by a nagging

ankle injury. II

The performance of goalie John Lothrop (34 stops in each game, including some

exceptionally fine ones) against Michigan is one source of consolation to Mariucci

and the Gophers. "John is having his best year, II the coach enthuses. ''We're still

..not giving him as much help defensively as we mould, but I feel we're improving

more rapidly in that department than I had expected. II

spots among Gopher scorers. "They've done a great job," Mariucci says. "Gambucci

and Norby are two of the finest sophs I've coached and Grosso adds the experience

that line lacks otherwise."

Gambucci and Norby are deadlocked for the scoring leadership with 14 points

apiece. Gambucci is tops in goals with eight and Norby in assists with 10. Norby

scored two goals in the space of less than a minute against Michigan Friday•

Grosso is third with 13 points and Woog, last year's scoring champ, is fourth with

10.

Lothrop continues to keep his stop percentage above .900, currently sporting

a .902 mark. He has allowed 3.27 goals per game and has made 332 saves.

As for the Spartans, they have a 3-5 record in WCHA play and 4-7 overall.

They split with Colorado College last weekend, losing 5-4 in overtime after regular

goalie Jerry Fisher was hurt and winning 6-2. In other Association games, they

dropped an earlier pair to Colorado College and split with both Denver and North

Dakota.

State currently boasts the WCHA' s leading scorer, wing Doug Volmar who has 15

points on II goals and four assists. He has scored the "hat trick" three times

this season. Three other Spartans - Mike Coppo, Tom Mikkola and Brian McAndrew

are tied for third with 12 points each. Fisher has a 3.5 goals-against average.

r"The Gophers"

Mailed January 11, 1966For release upon receipt

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota basketball story as the Gophers

prepare for Saturday I s invasion of Williams Arena by Indiana is summed up tersely

in two words: Lou Hudson.

The question of whether or not Minnesota's talented All America candidate

will return to action against the Hoosiers after a month of competitive inactivityI'"I has apparently been answered by Hudson himself. Despite the handicap of the cast

protecting his injured right wrist, Lou has been practicing diligently in recent

days, "Working twice as hard as anyone else on the squad" according to Coach John

Kundla.

However, a number of questions concerning Hudson remain unanswered: "Can he

regain the sharp physical condition he displayed before breaking a wrist bone

December l8?" "How will the cast which must remain on his wrist for at least

another two weeks effect his shooting?" "Will the game officials permit him to

play with the cast on?" "Is there danger of re-injuring the wrist if he plays too

soon?" "Can he play his usual effective defense while wearing the cast?"

The answer to all these questions will hang in the balance when the Gophers

and Hoosiers take the floor Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Officials at the Michigan State

game last Saturday examined Hudson's wrist cast and expressed the opinion that a

protective wrap of sponge rubber would make it acceptable.

Coach Kundla himself wonders just how effective Hudson will be and how much hewill play against Indiana. "There is one thing for certain, though," says Kundla,"Lou's presence will give us a big psychological lift and will ease the manpowershortage that killed us in the second half at Michigan State. "

The preliminary game starting at 6: 15 features the Hinnesota freshmen againstthe Hackers of the intramural league.

Arena this weekend in hopes of climbing above the .500 mark in Western Collegiate

Hockey Association play for the first tL~e this season. The competition will be

provided by a dangerous Colorado College team coached by former Gopher Bob Johnson.

Face-off time Friday and Saturday is 8 p.m.

Minnesota played its best series of the winter at East Lansing last weekend,

sweeping the Spartans 7-5 and 5-1. The victories enabled the Gophers to climb

from seventh to sixth place With a 4-5 record.

"If we continue to playas we did against State, we'll be hard to handle

from here on," declares Gopher coach ,John Mariucci. "It was a fine team effort.

We skated hard and bore down all the time. That's what we have to do to win."

Mariucci was especially pleased with the sudden emergency of the "third

line" of center Jack Dale and wings Dennis Zacho and Rob Shattuck as a scoring

threat. Unproductive in recent starts, this trio accounted for four goals against

the Spartans, three of them in the opener.

Other factors contributing to the pleasant weekend were the continued strong

play of the Lorne Grosso-Gary Gambucci-Chuck Norby line, the return to action of

wing Bruce Larson after missing the ~lichigan game due to the death of his mother,

the defensive play of Frank Zywiec who turned in the best series of his career

and another fine performance by goalie John Lothrop.

Colorado College has 14 players from Minnesota on its roster, led by co

captains Glen Blumer, International Falls, and Dave Peterson, St. Paul (Johnson);


GOPHER GREAT MARTINEAU DIES AT 69

The following article appeared in the Hinneapolis Star on January 14, 1966:

Earl :M'J:wIIh1a...u, 69, one of l'linnesota 1 s All-American football greats in theearly twenties, died in Menomonie, Wis., Thursday night.

He had only recently returned home from theVeterans' hospital inllinneapolis when he was stricken.

Mr. Martineau played halfback for the Gophers, finishing his career in1923 when he was chosen by Walter Camp for his All-American team.

After the completion of his athletic career he served for many yearsas an assistant to Fritz Crisler at the universities of Princeton and Michigan.Later he was at Purdue, and finished his coaching career with professional LosAngeles Dons of the old All-America Conference. His first ocaching post was atWestern Michigan.

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of l1i.nnesota basketball team, its title

aspirations buoyed by Lou Hudson's solid "comeback" performance in Saturday's

91 - 82 conquest of Indiana, is all business and hustle this week as it girds for

Saturday's "big one" wi.th Hichigm at Ann Arbor -- the season's only meeting of

these intense rivals.

Bearing down the hardest of all the Gophers is Hudson who amazed fans at

the Indiana game with his "one-handed" 20-point and 10-rebound performance.

Hudson's problem is to get his legs back under him and rebuild his endurance to

the point he is ready for 40 minutes of top speed play. His physical condition

suffered noticeably during the four weeks he was out of action following the wrist

injury incurred in the Creighton game December 18. Coach John Kundla used Hudson

in spurts against the Hoosiers. He was in action little more than half the game.

Hudson's return to the lineup gave Gopher spirits a big boost, with Dennis

Dvoracek playing the most inspired basketball of a three-year career as he bagged

20 points and grabbed 17 rebounds to lead both teams in this department. If

Dvoracek can IT~intain this high standard of play, Kundla can effectively rotate

Hudson, Dvoracek, and Paul Presthus at the forward positions. Once Hudson returns

to full efficiency, 6-6 Dvoracek may become the "handy-andy" of the Gophers, ready

to fill in at center and guard as needed.

Defensive strategy to cope with Michigan's Cazzie Russell is occupyingmuch of Hi.nnesota's practice time this week. Where Hudson would probably draw theassignment on a man-to-man basis under normal circumstances, his defensive abilityis impaired by the cast encased wrist and forearm. Thus special strategy isindicated.

MINNEAPOLIS. The injury jinx which has afflicted University of Minnesota

athletic teams with disturbing frequency during the current school year has struck

the undefeated (6-0) Gopher wrestling team. Two of coach Wally Johnson's premier

grapplers, Lee Gross (157 pounds) and Co-Capt. John Klein (167), will miss this

weekend's rugged meets with Hichigan at Ann Arbor Friday night and Michigan State

at East Lansing Saturday.

Gross, who sat out last week's action against South Dakota State and Iowa with

an ankle sprain sustained in practice, is likely to be on the shelf for another two

weeks. He is a two-time Big Ten champion. Klein, undefeated so far this season,

twisted his knee against Iowa and definitely will miss the Wolverine and Spartan

competition. He could be out longer.

"I felt we would have a good chance of snapping Michigan's 35-meet winning

streak," Johnson admits. IINow we're really hurting. These injuries hit us right

in the strongest part of our lineup. I'll have to do some juggling, but you just

don't replace a Gross or a Klein. II

It looks now as if letterman Ron Ankeny, usually a 147-pound wrestler, willtake Gross' place while Ted Anderson, a junior who did not compete last year, willfill in for Klein.

And Michigan? The Wolverines are ranked sixth in the nation, have won theBig Ten title three years in succession and have three defending conference champson their squad -- Bob Fehrs at 123 pounds, Bill Johannesen at 137 and Jim Kammanat 147. llichigan State is tough, too. It is rated the chief threat to Michigan'Scrown and will be bolstered by the addition of defending Big Ten heavyweightchampion Jeff Richardson who was not in action when the Spartans finished secondto the Gophers in a quadrangular meet at Evanston two weeks ago. It also boastsa defending champ at 130 pounds in Don Behm.

MINNEAPOLIS. Can momentum carry the University of Minnesota hockey team to

its fifth and sixth straight victories despite a badly depleted roster? The answer

will be provided Friday and Saturday at Williams Arena when the Gophers entertain

J'Iichigan State. Game time both nights is 8 p.m.

r.Iinnesota, playing its best hockey of the season and fresh from an l8-goalI....

I barrage against Colorado College last weekend, likely will be without the services

of four regulars Friday and two Saturday. Definitely out of the series opener are

center Jack Dale and wing Dennis Zacho who were both thrown out of last Saturday's

game with Colorado College for fighting and disqualified from competition this

Friday. In addition, wing Rob Shattuck and center Lorne Grosso both are doubtful

for both games because of injuries. Since Dale, Zacho and Shattuck performed as a

unit, one entire line will be wiped out for Friday.

Shattuck suffered a facial cut last Friday which resulted in one eye being

swollen shut. Grosso sustained a knee injury in last Saturday's game.

If none of the four are able to play Friday, Coach John Mariucci will move

defenseman Greg Hughes to a forward spot, probably as a center teaming with wings

Hark Ryman and Barry Bloomgren on the replacement line for the Dale unit. In this

case, Bill Suss would center for Gary Gambucci and Chuck Norby on the Grosso line

and Jack Thoemke would replace Hughes behind the blueline.

l~le went from a healthy squad to one that's hurting in a hurry, II Mariucci

bemoans. "The series sweep from CC was satisfying but we paid a big price. I only

wish we could have saved some of last week's goals for State. We'll need 'em."

The upcoming series will be the second of the campaign between the Gophers

and Spartans. Minnesota won both ends of the set at East Lansing two weeks ago by

Hockey - #2January 25, 1966

scores of 7-5 and 5-1 to launch its present four-game winning skein. The Gophers

(6-5) are fourth in WCHA play and State is sixth (5-7). Minnesota stands 9-6 for

the season.

State boasts a high-scoring attack and questionable defense. Three of its

scorers rank in the top five in Western Collegiate Hockey Association scoring.

Wing Doug Volmar is third with 22 points and tied with Terry Casey of North Dakota

for the high in goals with 13. His teammates, center Mike Coppo and wing Brian

HcAndrew are fourth and fifth respectively with 21 and 20 points.

Gaye Cooley and Jerry Fisher have divided the Spartan goaltending chores with

Cooley boasting the better record. He has a 3.5 goals against average to rank fifth

in the WCHA and has made 203 stops in eight games. Fisher has a 4.0 mark and 177

stops in six starts.

~Ul1nesota's John Lothrop has moved into third place among Association goalies

behind rtJ.chigan Tech's redoubtable pair of Tony Esposito and Rick Best. Lothrop

has given up 35 goals in 11 games for a 3.2 average and is second in stops with 336.

For the season, he has an even 3.0 goals-allowed mark and 424 stops. He also haa

one of four shutouts turned in the WCHA this season.

Gambucci regained the Gopher individual scoring leadership last weekend by

virtue of a four-goal, three-assist performance against the Tigers. He has 14 goals

and nine assists for 23 points. Close behind are his linemates, Norby (22) and

Grosso (21). All three are tied for sixth place in WCHA scoring with 16 points.

Preliminary action this weekend features Mounds View vs. Richfield Friday and

St. Paul Academy vs. Duluth Morgan Park Saturday, both at 6:30.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Defense, defense, and more defense is the theme of the Univer-

sity of Minnesota's basketball practice sessions as the Gophers who were gunned into

submission last Saturday by Michigan's Cazzie Russell prepare for Saturday I s date

with Purdue at Lafayette and a confrontation with the nation's leading collegiate

scorer in the person of Dave Schellhase. Deadly Dave is carrying a 32 point scoring

average through Purdue's first 14 games.

No team yet has found an effective means of defensing Schellhase who likes to

let fly from all positions, angles, and distances. This is the special challenge

facing Coach John Kundla as he sends the Gophers through their daily paces. Hopes

of coping with the Boilermaker hotshot would be considerably better were Lou Hudson

rid of the cast protecting the wrist injury suffered December 18. Last year as a

healthy two-handed junior he showed the savvy, quickness, and determination to do

an effective one-man guarding job on any opponent. This effectiveness has been

substantially reduced since Hudson acquired the cast which covers two thirds of his

right forearm and the lower part of the palm of his hand. His shooting and rebound-

ing have particularly suffered.

Until Hudson recovers full use of his right hand, Captain Archie Clark mustbear a heavy offensive - defensive load. Indications are that Clark will initiallydraw the assignment of guarding Schellhase. How this duty will effect his scoringis the BIG question. Clark holds Minnesota's scoring leadership with 320 pointsand a 24.6 per-game average. If the Gophers are to remain a factor in the Big Tenrace, Clark must maintain this pace at least until Hudson regains his pre-injuryscoring form. Incidentally, if Clark were to continue his current scoring tempo,he would surpass Hudson's all-time University season record of 558 points.

MINNEAPOLIS. Roy Griak I s University of Minnesota track team opens its

1966 indoor season Saturday with a dual meet against the Gopher freshman team. at

the University Field House. Field events start at 1 p.m. and running events at 1:30.

Griak expects the frosh to test the Varsity in some events but admits

that the yearlings won't be able to match the varsity in depth.

Among the freshmen who should make things interesting are Steve Hoag of

Anoka who has already broken the Gopher freshman two~le record unofficially,

Bill McNee from Alexander Ramsey in the hurdles, Jim Ohnstad of Faribault in the

60 and 300 yard dashes and Bob Wagner of St. Louis Park in the mile and two-mile.

Griak points out that four sophs are making noteworthy progress for the

varsity -- Tom Stuart in the high jump, footballer Hubie Bryant in the hurdles,

Richard SiJronsen in the 60 and 300 and Mark Henningsgaard of Cottage Grove, Ore.

in the pole vault. Stuart has already cleared 6-6 and appears likely to break

the field house record of 6-7.

Other varsity men who have been impressive in workouts are Joe Lane in

the shot put, John Shaffer and Larry Hueller in the pole vault, Mike Elwell in

the mile and Tom Heinonen in the two-mile. Heinonen was runnerup in last year's

Big Ten two-mile race.

The Gophers' first intercollegiate indoor competition will find them

entertaining Northwestern and Drake in the Field House February 5.

HINNEAPOLIS. The University of Hinnesota sWimmi.ng team, still looking for its

dual meet victory of the season, won't be able to complain for want of competition

during the next few days. The Gophers travel to Evanston, Ill. for a meet with

Northwestern Friday night, returnll.ome to host Nebraska in the Cooke Hall Ex.'libition

Pool Saturday at 7 p.m. and then take on defending Big Ten champion Indiana Honday

at 7:30.

The Hoosiers, who have won the Conference crown for five straight years, al'e

favored to repeat again this season despite a recent 62-61 loss to Michigan. They

boast some of the nation's outstanding swimmers, including a couple of Olympic

champs. They will be without one Olympic titlist, however. Bobby Hindle, 1500-

meter champion from Australia,will not be eligible until February 7.

Those Olympians who will be available are Kevin Berry, another Australian in

the freestyle sprints, and Ken Sitzberger, springboard diving kingpin. In addition,

the Hoosiers have such top performers as Pete Hammer, ranked in the first five back-

strokers nationally; Tom Trethew~ in the breaststroke; Bob Willi&DSon in the sprints J

Ed Webb and Rich Allen in the distance freestyle events, diver Chuck Neel, Bill

Utley and Ralph Kindrick in the individual medley.

Gopher coach Bob Howerson sums up Indiana's squad concisely: "They've gotanother powerhouse with great depth and individual brilliance. "

11owerson expects the Gophers to be underdogs against Northwestern which he feelshas its best team since 1930. He does see a chance to knock off the Cornhuskers,however.

Despite the Gophers' losing record, Howerson is encouraged by the marked'improvement of several of his swimmers, especially backstroker Jerry Ericksen,sprinter Dave Doten, divers John Romstad, Bill Stolberg and John Estes, Bruce vlalkerand Don Grant in the breaststroke.

- !I~AIDie" lK~n~APOLIS.w¥~ rLU~l~~ The University of Minnesota hockey team opens the toughest

month of its schedule this weekend when it travels to Grand Forks for a series with

high-scoring North Dakota, currently runnerup in the Western Collegiate Hockey

Association race and pressing Michigan Tech for the league lead. TI1e Gophers will

be at home again next Tuesday in an 8 p.m. single game against UHD at Williams Arena.

John Mariucci's squad will play at least eight road games and possibly

nine during February and early March compared to only three at home. Included

among the away games will be three with the Sioux and two each with Tech and third-

place Nichigan which vanquished Tech twice last weekend. Minnesota also faces

North Dakota in a home series February 18-19. The final meeting with the Sioux

will be March 3 at Grand Forks in the WCHA sectional playoff. If the Gophers should

win that one, they will play still another road game with the winner of the Denver-

Colorado College playoff contest.

Hariucci was dismayed by his team's failure to capture both ends of last

week's series with Michigan State. In fact, the Gophers had to work furiously in

an overtime period to stave off a defeat or a tie in the game they did win 6-5.

That was on Friday, and the Spartans came back strong Saturday to win 4-3. Mariucci

is considering shaking up his third line which has found goals extremely difficult

to come by this season. Rob Shattuck, one of the wings on that line, definitely

won't play due to an eye injury suffered against Colorado College two weeks ago.

There is a possibility that both center Jack Dale and wing Dennis Zacho might be

benched, too, but Mariucci has made no definite plans as yet.

Center Lorne Grosso is expected back after missing the State series with

a knee injury. His presence is certain to increase the effectiveness of prize

sophomore wings Gary Gambucci and Chuck Norby.

Hockey - Page #2February 1, 1966

North Dakota was idle last week because of semester exams. The Gophers

already hold a victory over the Sioux, winning 6-4 in the St. Paul Classic back in

December. The Tribe has been on the warpath since then and is now just a half-game

behind front-running Tech with a 10-4 record and 13-6-1 overall. Minnesota is

fourth in league play (7-6-0) and has a 10-7-0 record for the season.

Terry Casey of the Sioux leads the Association in scoring with 26 points

while his te~~te Dennis Hextall is third with 24. Norby and Gambucci are tied for

sixth with 20 points apiece.

Gopher John Lothrop ranks fourth among WCHA goaltenders with a 3.4 goals-

against average and has 385 stops. Sioux goalie Mike Curran is seventh with a 4.0

mark and leads the league in stops with 411.

Gambucci maintains his one-point lead over Norby in ltlnnesota team

scoring for the season with 27 points and leads in goals with 16. Norby is the

pacesetter in assists with 16. Doug Woog and Grosso are tied for third with 21

points teach. Lothrop has allowed an average of 3.18 goals in 17 games overall

and has made 473 stops. His stop percentage is .898.

MINNEAPOLIS. GOPHERS BB'lARE! '!he hottest shot around is coming to town

and he'll be aiming to gun you down Saturday night.

The hot gunner in this case is All American Dave Schellhase who together

with his Purdue teammates will be gunning for revenge when they come face to face

with !Iinnesota' s basketball Gophers on the hardwood of Williams Arena at precisely

8:00 p.m. Saturday. Yes Sir. The 6-4 Schellhase who leads the nation's major

college players in scoring (32 point average) isn't the kind to take lightly the

fact that he was held to a mere six field goals and 28 points in the January 29

confrontation at Lafayette as Minnesota outshot the Boilermakers 91 - 75.

The Purdue squad that Coach George King debuts with here proved in a

recent 93 - 87 conquest of Illinois that it can be pure poison on a given night.

The magnitude of this feat was emphasized by Illinois' triumph over Michigan Tuesday

night at Ann Arbor.

Schellhase isn't the only individual problem confronting Coach John

Kundla and the Gophers. George Grams who towers 7 feet gives the Boilermakers a

big height advantage at center over Hinnesota' s 6-7~ Tom Kondla. lfuen the sophomore

center is out for the periodic rests he requires, Minnesota must give away a full

half foot to Grams.

r·Iinnesota scout George Hanson credits Purdue I s two starting guards -Henry Ebershoff and Denny Brady -- with being "two of the finest guards in theConference. II Ebershoff carries a l7-point average. Brady, a left-handed jump shotartist, is averaging 10.

The 6:15 preliminary Saturday pits the Minnesota freshman squad againstthe Phi Delta Theta fraternity Blues, a team with a strong Minnesota footballflavor. Its lineup includes Ken Last, Chet Anderson, Dave Colburn, and Tim Wheeler.

~~~ MINNEAPOLIS. Iowa State's defending NCAA champions will provide plenty

of competition for the University of Minnesota wrestling team Friday night when

the two grappling powers collide in a dual meet at Fridley High School, starting

at 8 p.m.

Five members of the Cyclone squad placed in last year's NCAA tourney,

including l77-pound champion Tom Peckham. Other standouts are Ernie Gillum who

placed third in the ll5-pound class nationally; Bob Buzzard, third at 137 pounds;

Vic Marcucci, third at 167; Ted Tuinistra, fifth in the heavyweight class.

At present, the Cyclones are third-ranked nationally. Minnesota, which

already has a big upset over Michigan to its credit, has lost only once in eight

starts.

Gopher coach Wally Johnson expects to have John Klein, his only undefeated

wrestler, ready to go at 167 pounds after being out for two weeks with an infected

knee. Johnson's injury problems are not at an end, however. Terry Barrett who has

been a mainstay at 137 pounds this year, injured his hand in practice this week and

is doubtful for the Cyclones.

#####

NOT E: Time of Minnesota - Iowa State wrestling meet erroneously stated as

9 p.m. on Calendar of Events sent out earlier this week.



IvIINNEAPOLIS. Saturday is ''Winter Sports Day" at the University of Minne-

sota and a full slate of activity is on tap. Actually, its the third such day this

winter, earlier ones being held in December and January.

The action starts at 1 p.m. with Bob Mowerson1s swimming team meeting

powerful Hichigan in the Cooke Hall Exhibition Pool and Roy Griak's track squad

taking on Northwestern and Drake in the Field House at the same time. The spot-

light turns to wrestling at 2:30 when Wally Johnson's grapplers seek to enhance

their impressive record at the expense of Wisconsin in Williams Arena. The after-

noon's card concludes with a gymnastics meet between Minnesota, coached by Pat Bird,

Ohio State and Northern Illinois in the Cooke Hall gymnasium at 3:30. It will be

all basketball in the evening with the Gophers looking for Big Ten victory No. 4

against Purdue at 8 p.m., preceded by a high school preliminary at 6:15 featuring

the Hinnesota freshman team against the Phi Delta Theta fraternity Blues, a squad

which boasts an array of Gopher football players in its lineup•."

Specially-reduced tickets admitting to all five events have been made

available to high school athletes participating in any sport.

Griak expects a good test for his trackmen from both Northwestern and

Drake. He points out that the Wildcats have some outstanding individuals although

lacking in depth. They are especially strong in the distance events which are

bolstered by several members of last fall's cross country championship team.

Individual harrier champ Lee Assenheimer and runnerup John Duffield are feared

opponents in the mile and two mile respectively and Craig Boydston who finished

fifth in Eig Ten cross country competition also is tough in the mile. Other top


Winter Sports Day - #2February 2, 1966

Northwestern performers are Jim Albrecht who won the Big Ten indoor pole vault

title last year; Jim Harris, runnerup in the 880 indoors; Willie Collins, a fine

hurdler and sprinter; and Ron Joseph, a formidable broad jumper.

In Michigan, the Gopher swimmers face a foe every bit as strong as Indiana,

as witnessed by the Wolverines' recent 62-61 triumph over the Hoosiers. Among

their top men are Carl Robie and Bill Farley, who share the Big Ten record in the

l650-yard freestyle. Farley also holds the Conference record in both the 200 and

500-yard freestyle and Robie in the 400 yard individual medley. Paul Scheerer

owns the Conference record in both the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke. Still

another outstanding Michigan swimmer is Bill Groft, defending Big Ten champ in

the 50-yard freestyle.

Wisconsin will pose a solid test for the Gopher grapplers. The Badgers

have excellent team balance and are considered a dark horse for the Big Ten title.

Among their best men are Dan Pernat, runnerup in the 19l-pound class nationally

last year, and Elmer Beale, fourth-place finisher in the Big Ten at 157 pounds.

Coach Bird believes his Gopher gymnasts can win a pair over Ohio State

and Northern Illinois if they perform as well as they did last week when they

defeated Navy Pier and lost to Illinois on the road.

MINNEAPOLIS. A balanced scoring attack and the rebounding of Dennis

Dvoracek, Tom Kondla, and Paul Presthus comprise the formula with which the Univer-

sity of Minnesota's basketball forces hope to derail Michigan State's front-running

Spartans in a return engagement before more than 15,000 in Williams Arena here

Saturday night. The Hudson-less Gophers bowed to MSU in their Conference opener at

Lansing January 8, 85 - 65.

Latest statistics show five of Minnesota's "basic six" players in double

figures for the first time this season, and sophomore center, Tom Kondla, is only

one-tenth of a point away. Captain Archie Clark who took up some of the scoring

slack after Lou Hudson's disastrous wrist injury in mid-December leads the scoring

list with a 24.3 average, followed by Hudson (17.7), Presthus (12.6), Wes:.Martins

(10.6), and Dvoracek (10.4).

A decisive factor in Minnesota's three-game win streak has been the

rebounding of Dvoracek (156), Presthus (148), and Kondla (138). The 6-8 Kondla

came of age as a Big Ten performer last Saturday as he tallied eight points and

snatched 13 rebounds in Minnesota's 66-61 victory over Purdue. It will take

Minnesota's best offenSive - defensive effort to cope with the defense-minded

Spartans who are the big surprise of the current Big Ten chase. They controlled

both boards in the meeting at East Lansing. Coach John Kundla is convinced that

the Gophers have come a long way since that encounter. This improvement, plus the

return of Hudson who may shed his wrist cast later this week, gives rise to at

least cautious optimism in the Minnesota camp.

The 6:15 preliminary game pits Nel'l Prague against Moorhead.

MINNEAPOLIS. Wisconsin, considered the most improved swimming team

in the Big Ten will challenge Minnesota in the Cooke Hall Exhibition Pool Saturd~

starting at 2 p.m. in a triple dual meet which also will feature Purdue.

The Gophers, despite a 90-33 drubbing at the hands of mighty ~lichigan

last weekend, have been improving their times steadily in most events and actually

turned in their best effort of the season timewise against the Wolverines.

Wisconsin, though not in the same class with Michigan, has some first-

rate swinnners, including John Lindley, one of the best butterflyers in the

country. Other top Badgers are John Teetaert in the backstroke; Bob Blanchard

in the breaststroke; Bill Swano, distance; lvIark Marsh and Jim Lozelle, freestyle

sprints; Gil LaCroix, intermediate medley; divers Julian Kru.g and Art Rowe.

"I'm afraid Wisconsin is going to be another rugged hurdle for us,!;

says Gopher coach Bob Mowerson. "They have their best strength where we have ours

and they have better balance. I expect a real good race between our Dave Doten

and Wisconsin's Marsh and Lozelle in the 50 yard freestyle."

Purdue is a much weaker foe than the Badgers and prospects are good

that the Gophers will be able to register their first Big Ten victorJ of the

season against the Boilermakers. Thus far, Minnesota has defeated only Nebraska

while losing to four Conference opponents.

MINNEAPOLIS. Wisconsin, undefeated in 16 straight dual meets and

defending Big Ten indoor champion, will provide the stiffest test of the campaign

for the University of Minnesota's promising track squad when the Gophers travel

to Hadison Saturday for their first road competition of the winter.

The Badgers boast three indoor individual champs in Ken Latigolal, BOO;

Barney Peterson, Conference record holder in the 1,000 yard run; and Gerry Beatty,

70 yard high hurdles. Other standout performers are Steve Whipple in the 440, Tom

Dakin, hurdles, Bill Heuer, 600 yard r~~; and a trio of pole vaulters -- Dave

Seiberlich, Wes Schmi.dt and Brian Bergeman, all capable of clearing 15 feet.

Gopher coach Roy Griak isn't conceding a thing, however: llWe lost a

real tight one to them last year (73-67) and we're going all out to get even and

break that winning streak. It

Griak is highly pleased with the work of a batch of promising sophs -

John t'iarford and Hubie Bryant in the hurdles; Phil Soltvedt, 600; Tom Ochs, 1,000;

John vJatts, 60 yard dash; Richard Simonsen, 440. Warford, Bryant and Ochs all

took firsts against Drake and Northwestern last week.

Among the bright spots in the veteran ranks is the pole vaulting of Larry

Mueller who cleared 15 feet last Saturday to set a new Gopher indoor record and

John Shaffer who hit 14-7. Tom Heinonen continues to impress in the two mile, as

does Mike Elwell in the mile, Bob Wandberg in the 880, Joe Lane in the shot put

and Capt. Bill Stevens in the 60.

Tom Stuart, talented sophomore high jumper and hurdler, is expected to

be ready for Wisconsin after being sidelined for a couple of weeks with a strained

achilles tendon.

MINNEAPOLIS. It's back to the road for the University of Minnesota hockey


team this weekend, and that's all right with the Gophers who have found happy hunt-

ing grounds on foreign rinks this winter. The assignment is no easy task, however.

To stay in contention for the WCHA crown, they must whip Michigan twice at Ann

Arbor.

Minnesota has won six of seven road games in Association play while drop-

ping five of nine at home. The team's success on unfamiliar sites reached a peak

last weekend when the Gophers came from behind twice to defeat rugged North Dakota

at Grand Forks by scores of 3-1 and 5-4. '!hey came home from that laudable achieve-

ment only to narrowly escape defeat at the hands of winless ill1D Tuesday in friend~

Williams "Arena. '!he tenacious Bulldogs overcame a 3-1 deficit in the third period

to tie the count before the stunned Minnesotans could come back with two quick

goals to win 5-3.

Coach John Mariucci's squad has been the hottest club in the WCHA during

the last month. In that span the Gophers have won eight while losing just one game.

In the process, they have climbed from seventh place to a tie for second with

North Dakota on the strength of a 10-6-0 record. They stand 13-7-0 for the season.

UNe played our best hockey of the season at North Dakota," says Mariucci.

"If we can keep going like that the rest of the year, we'll stay very much in the

running for the title. We let down a little against UMD, but we'll be up for

Nichigan. You can be sure of that."

The Gophers had better be up if they expect to win two in the Wolverines'

home lair. That's the place where the Maize and Blue twice licked Michigan Tech's

league leaders and defending NCAA champions two weeks ago to tighten up the race.

Hockey - #2Feb. 9, 1966

Then, too, there is the little matter of the two losses administered to the Gophers

by Hichigan back in early January at Williams Arena.

Michigan (7-5-0) is fourth in league play following last weekend's double

upset by Michigan State at Ea.st Lansing. Thus, Mel Wakabayashi and company must

win to stay in title contention.

Chuck Norby has climbed into a tie for the Gopher scoring lead with Gary

Gambucci. Each has 30 points. Gambucci leads in goals with 17 and Norby in assists

with 18. Doug Woog and Lorne Grosso are tied for third with 25 points apiece.

Norby also has moved into a fourth-place tie in WCHA scoring with Dennis Hextall of

North Dakota and Brian McAndrew of l~chigan State. Gambucci ranks seventh with 23

points.

Goalie John Lothrop has a 3.10 goals-against average and a .899 stop

percentage for the season and ranks fourth among Association goalies with a 3.3

average.

MINNEAPOLIS. Paul Faust, captain of the 1965 University of Minnesota

football team, has been selected by Parade Publications, Inc., as one of seven

college students who will serve as counselors on Parade's "Young Columbus ll

European trip for 84 newspaper carrier boys in April.

Parade Publications is sponsoring the trip for the tenth consecutive

year, and Faust is the fourth University of Minnesota student to make the trip in

the last five years. The 1966 trip, which will take the group to England, Ireland

and Scotland, is scheduled to start April 6 and continue through April 20.

Only seven counselors are chosen each year from 1,200 colleges and

universities in the United States. Each counselor will have responsibility of

12 carrier boys, although representatives from Parade Publications also will make

the trip.

In addition to visiting places of interest in all three countries, the

group will meet U. S. ambassadors, mayors and celebrities in each nation.

Faust is majoring in engineering and is a three-year letterman in

football at ~linnesota. He is a recipient of a Williams Scholarship for athletic

and scholastic proficiency.

University of Minnesota students who served as counselors on previous

trips were Julian Hook (1962), Joseph Kuznik (1964) and Walter Bachman, Jr. (1965).

Hook was an All-Big Ten selection in football in 1962 and also competed in wrest-

ling.

MINNEAPOLIS. The University of Minnesota hockey team, presently the

hottest entry in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association race, puts its five-game

winning streak on the line against old rival North Dakota at Williams Arena Friday

and Saturday. The teams will be vying for second place and a chance to stay alive

in the WCHA title race. Game time both nights is 8:00. The series will be Minne-

sota's last scheduled home action of the season.

The Gophers and Sioux will be meeting for the fourth and fifth times this

season with a sixth game between them still on the docket. The final battle will

be in the WCHA sectional playoff at Grand Forks March 3. Minnesota won all three

previous games, by scores of 6-4, 3-1 and 5-4.

¥,dnnesota (12-6-0) currently is runnerup in Association play behind

defending NCAA champion Michigan Tech (11-4-1). North Dakota (11-7-0) is third.

If the Gophers should sweep this series, they will travel to Tech's home ice the

following weekend for two games with the title at stake.

Since dropping a pair to Michigan at Williams Arena almost six weeks ago,

the Gophers have won 10 of 11 games. Their only loss in that span was a 4-3

decision to Michigan State in Minneapolis. They have not lost in six road games

during that time. Before going on their winning binge, the Gophers were languishing

in seventh place with a dismal 2-5 record.

Latest victim to fall before the :f.'Iaroon and Gold onslaught was r.fi.chigan

which bowed 5-4 and 3-2 at Ann Arbor last weekend.

Meanwhile, North Dakota has been having its troubles of late. The Sioux

boasted a 10-4 record and were a strong second not so long ago. Since then, how-

ever, they have lost three out of four, including a pair to the Gophers at Grand

Forks.

Hockey - #2Feb. 15, 1966

Minnesota coach John Mariucci is understandably joyous over his squad's

dramatic reversal of form. "If we keep playing this way, we're going to be awfully

tough to beat," he declares. "The future is far from easy, however, with North

Dakota and Tech coming up. We can't afford to let down, and I don't think we will."

Excellent goaltending by John Lothrop, improved defensive play. and

clutch scoring have been the key ingredients in the Gopher success story. Although

the line of center Lorne Grosso and wings Chuck Norby and Gary Gambucci has been

the most potent scoring combination, all three lines have been producing well in

recent games.

Gambucci and Norby maintain their season-long duel for the Gopher scoring

lead. They are tied for the top with 32 points apiece. Close behind are Doug Woog

with 28 and Grosso with 27. Norby also is tied for fourth in WCHA scoring with 26

points and Gambucci is sixth with 25. Woog and Grosso rank in the top 10 Associa-

tion scorers, too, with 22 points each, good for a ninth-place tie.

Lothrop is fourth in the league goalie department with a 3.2 goals-

against average. He is second in stops with 523. Overall, he boasts a 3.09 aver-

age, 611 stops and a stop percentage of .900.

The Gopher freshman team will provide the preliminary action this week

end with intra-squad games starting at 6:30.

The rating based on dual meet results is as follows:

1. Rochester

2. Hopkins

3. Edina

4. St. Cloud Tech

5. Hibbing

6 - 7. Austin and Winona

8. Robbinsdale

9. Duluth East

10. St. louis Park

According to Mike Chopp of St. Cloud Tech, spokesman for the group,

Rocb8ster, Hopkins, and Edina are expected to fight it out for the champion

ship in the State meet February 25 - 26 in the Cooke Hall exhibition pool at

the University of Minnesota. Chopp sees the majority of records as being in

jeopardy. He predicts the field will be the fastest ever.

into another Big Ten stronghold where the home team rarely comes out second best

as it invades Champaign-Urbana, lair of the unpredictable Illini.

Boding ill for Coach John Kundla and the Gophers is the fact that the

Illinois team effectively employs the same tactics with which the Hawke,yes pre-

vailed -- a fast break off long, looping passes, and a full-court press designed

to disrupt Minnesota's offensive patterns. '!he Iowans repeatedly got to the basket

for easy layups before the Gophers could get set on defense. It will surprise no

one if the scouting report turned over to Illinois Coach Harry Combes Wednesday

reconmended use of the successful Iowa formula.

As a rule the Gopher starters take it easy the day following a game, but

such was not the case Wednesday as Kundla went right to work to try and remedy the

weaknesses evident in the Iowa setback. The entire squad worked at length against

full-court and half-court presses, brushed up on its offensive and defensive

rebotUlding which was badly off form Tuesday night, and absorbed a tongue-lashing

from KtUldla on its defensive shortcomings.

Personnel changes are out of the question on the short-handed Minnesota

squad. Again the same six players who have carried the load so far this season -

Lou Hudson, Dennis Dvoracek, Paul Presthus, Tam Kondla, Captain Archie Clark, and

Wes Martins - must do it all against the Illini.

Clark continues to lead Hinnesota' s scorers with a 24.4 average and 440

points. If he can maintain this pace, he will surpass Hudson's current record of

23.3 points per game set last season.

MINNEAPOLIS. This is the week of the big showdown for the University of

~linnesota hockey team. The Western Collegiate Hockey Association title will be on

the line at Houghton, Michigan, Friday and Saturday, when the Gophers meet ltichigan

Tech's defending NCAA champions. llinnesota can win it all but must sweep to do it,

obviously no easy task.

The Gophers started the week in DloRinausj>icious fashion Tuesday by

losing a 5-4 overtime decision to Wisconsin, a team which had been unable to win

against a WCHA foe in 14 starts since the Badgers revived hockey two years ago.

The loss was the first on the road for Minnesota since November when Colorado

College turned the trick 4-0. The Gophers have a 7-2 record away from home and

have won 11 of their last 14 games.

'We'll have to playa whole lot better against Tech if we have any ideas

of winning," says Coach John Mariucci. "They were the best in the country last

year and they have practically their whole club back. They're tough anywhere but

they are extremely hard to beat at home."

Tech goes into this weekend's action leading the league on a 13-4-1

record. Minnesota is second at 13-7-0. If the Gophers sweep, they would win the

championship on a final mark of 15-7-0 to the Huskies ( 13-6-1.

Mariucci hopes center Doug Woog will be able to rejoin the squad in timefor the crucial series. Woog was hospitalized early in the week due to an infectionwhich settled in a cut on his elbow.

Gary Gambucci,with 35 points, holds a one-point lead over Chuck Norbyin the race for Gopher individual scoring honors. Lorne Grosso is third with 31.Gambuccc also ranks fifth in WCHA scoring and Norby sixth.

John Lothrop continues to hold fourth place among league goalies with a3.3 WCHA average goals against mark. He has a 3.2 record overall.

HINNEAPOLIS. The University of Minnesota basketball team gets its second

chance of the season to avenge on its home floor an earlier defeat in foreign

surroundings when unpredictable Illinois comes to Williams Arena here Saturday for

a 3:00 p.m. engagement. The Illini share third place with Iowa in the Conference

standings on a 6 - 4 mark.

The game has been designated as "Autograph and Photograph Day" for Gopher

fans. The Minnesota players and coaches will remain on the floor after the game to

be available for autographing and picture-taking.

The Gophers lost to Michigan State on January 8 at East Lansing in their

first Conference game. Back in Williams Arena February 12 they squared mattem with

the second-place Spartans by scoring an impressive 81 - 71 triumph.

The 100 - 89 walloping administered by the Illini last Saturday at Cham-

paign is expected to provide the Gophers wi.th plenty of incentive to bear down this

week and reverse the trend of poor defense and sloppy offensive play that has

characterized their consecutive losses to Iowa, Illinois, and Ohio State since show-

ing so very impressively against the Spartans here.

Any shakeup in the lineup is out of the question for Coach John Kundla who

must go along With the six men - Captain Archie Clark, Lou Hudson, Tom Kondla, Wes

Martins, Dennis Dvoracek, and Paul Presthus - who have carried virtually the entire

load so far.

Kundla is trying this week to get the Gophers back into the same defensiveframe of mind they exhibited in tumbling Michigan State. The particular object ofltinnesotals practice on defense is Don Freeman, Illini jumping-jack forward whospelled doom to the Gophers last week wi.th his 37 point scored mostly from close in.

Saturdayls 1:15 preliminary pits the Minnesota freshmen against the E.S.A.Greyhounds, former all-University intramural champions.

MINNEAPOLIS. A full afternoon of sports activity is on the agenda for

University of Minnesota fans Saturday. In addition to the basketball game which

pits the Gophers against Illinois at Williams Arena starting at 3:00, indoor track,

gymnastics and wrestling meets are on tap.

Iowa challenges Roy Griak's track squad in the Field House with field

events set to start at 1:00 and running events at 1:30. At 2:00, Minnesota hosts

Indiana and Chicago in gymnastics in the Cooke Hall gymnasium, and W~ Johnson'S

powerful wrestling squad takes on Colorado at Williams Arena following the basket-

ball game.

"Our meet with Iowa figures to be a barnburner," Griak declares. "It

should be awfully close with the Hawks rating a slight edge. They have a mighty

fine team." Iowa won a triangular from Illinois, Northwestern and Purdue last week-

end and are unbeaten in dual meet action.

The Hawkeye mile relay team has turned in the best time, by about four

seconds, of any Big Ten team this winter, and Iowa also boasts a number of out-

standing individuals. Griak expects extremely spirited competition between Iowa'S

Bill Burnette and Minnesota's John Shaffer and Larry Mueller in the pole vault.

All have cleared 15 feet or better. Other feature events will pit Al Randolph and

John Reimer of Iowa against John Warford, Gerry Brouwer and Hubie Bryant in the

high hurdles, Hawkeye Dennis Kohl against Richard Simonsen of the Gophers in the

300 and Larry Wieczorek and Steve Szabo of Iowa against Minnesota's Mike Elwell and

Tom Heinonen in the mile.

Gopher gymnastics coach Pat Bird is optimistic regarding Gopher chances

Saturday. "We have a good chance to win two," he says. A sweep of Indiana and

Chicago would give the Gophers a 9-7 overall record for the season. The Hoosiers

have won just one meet against Big Ten opposition but have a couple of fine per-

formers in trampolinist Clyde McDonald and all-around man Joel Sutlin.

Minnesota's best still rings man, John Babcock, has been troubled by

arthritis in his Shoulder this week but is expected to compete.

Wally Johnson's grapplers will be out for victory number 14 against

Colorado from the B~g Seven, tho nation's oollegiate wrestling hotbed. The

Gophers have lost only two meets to date, both to national powers -- Michigan State

and Iowa State.

MINNEAPOLIS. The Western Collegiate Hockey Association championship got

away, but an NCAA tournament bid is still a possibility for the University of Minne-

sota hockey team. There are two rather sizable stumbling blocks which might inter-

fere, however. The Gophers encounter the first of these Thursday night when they

battle North Dakota at Grand Forks in the opening round of the WCHA western sectional

playoff.

If John Mariucci's club makes it past that hurdle, it will face the

wimer of the other opening western sectional game between Denver and Colorado

College, also on the road Saturday night. If it loses to the Sioux, the season will

be over.

In the eastern sectional playoff, Michigan Tech hosts UMD and Michigan

entertains Michigan State 'Ihursds\y. The two winners will meet Saturday on the home

ice of the Wolverine-Spartan victor.

The two sectional winners advance directly to the NCAA tourney at Williams

Arena J.larch 17-18-19. They will be joined by two entries from the Eastern Seaboard.

Minnesota failed in its bid to win the Association title when it dropped

both ends of last weekend's series with champion Tech at Houghton by scores of 5-1

and 5-4. 'Ihe Gophers have lost three in a row and four out of their last five.

Prior to falling into the current slump, they were the hottest team in the league,

winning 10 of 11 games to burst into the championship picture after a dismal early

season record.

Hockey - #2February 28, 1966

The Gophers (13-9-0) wound up in a tie with North Dakota for second place

in the regular season race. The Sioux swapped one-sided triumphs with Denver at

Grand Forks last weekend, losing 7-2 and winning 9-1. Denver (15-10-3) finished a

strong fourth. Minnesota's overall season record is now 16-11-0.

Thursday's game Will be the sixth of the season between the Gophers and

Sio~ Minnesota holds a 4-1 edge to date, whipping North Dakota in a single game

in the St. Paul Hockey Classic back in December, sweeping a pair at Grand Forks and

splitting a set at Williams Arena.

Five of the WCHA's top scorers will be on the ice at Grand Forks. North

Dakota's Terry Casey finished as runnerup behind scoring champion Doug Volmar of

Michigan State. Another Sioux, Dennis Hextall, was fourth, while Minnesota's Gary

Gambucci, Chuck Norby and Lorne Grosso were fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.

Gambucci holds a two-point advantage over Norby in the Gopher team

scoring race. He has 40 points on 23 goals and 17 assists. Grosso is third with 34.

Mariucci hopes to have Doug Woog back in action against North Dakota.

The veteran center missed the Tech series due to an elbow infection and was still

hospitalized I'funday. Otherwise, the Gophers came out of the weekend in good

physical shape.

MINNEAPOLIS. University of Hinnesota gymnastics, indoor track, swimming

and wrestling coaches aren't predicting any team championships in this weekend's

Bi~ Ten Conference meets, but a number of Gophers are in the running for individual

titles in their respective sports.

Acting gymnastics coach Pat Bird rates his squad as likely to tinish no

better than fifth in the meet at Bloomington, Indiana Friday and Saturday. Accord-

ing to the new Big Ten scoring format, two-thirds of the points determining the

team champion will come trom the Conference meet. The remainder have already been

scored on the basis of dual meet performances. Minnesota ranks sixth in the latter

department with a 2-5 record. Michigan State is undefeated and is the meet favorite,

along with Hichigan which has lost just one meet and has won tive Big Ten titles in

a row.

Best Gopher individual bets are Bob Hoecherl and Dick Hinrichs. Bird

feels that Hoecherl could win the side horse event and Hinrichs has a chance to

place in the top three in the parallel bars. Others who could qualify for the

finals are Bill Armstrong, horizontal bar; Roger Mondale, floor exercise; Dave

Naftalin, trampoline, long horse and free exercise; Jim Nelson, long horse.

Roy Griak figures he has some outstanding contenders in the indoor track

showdown at East Lansing. Tom Stuart has cleared 6-8~, the best mark turned in by

any high jumper in the Big Ten this year. Joe Lane has the second best shot put

performance at 56-1, and Larry Mueller and John Shafter have each cleared 15-1 in

the pole vault, third best in the Conference.

- - _.- -- ---~----------~-

3/1/66 - #2

Still other likely point-scorers are Tom Heinonen, a leading threat in the

t'\'lO mile; Hubie Bryant, John Warford and Gerry Brouwer in the low hurdles; Warford

in the highs; Richard Simonsen, 300 yard dash; Bill Stevens, 60 yard dash; Mike

Elwell, mile; Wendell Bjorklund, high jump and broad jump, and the mile relay team

composed of Warford, Phil Soltvedt, Simonsen and Bryant.

Michigan State is the team favorite but Griak rates Iowa as a prime dark

horse. Michigan, defending champion Wisconsin and Minnesota also figure prominently

in the battle for top spots.

It is likely to be a long weekend at Iowa City Thursday, Friday and Satur

day for the Gopher swimmers who have been suffering through their worst season in

recent years. Victor in only one dual meet against Big Ten opposition, Minnesota

appears certain to fall from the fifth place perch it occupied the past two years.

Don Spencer in the butterfly appears the most likely Gopher candidate for a finish

in the top five in his events. Indiana, as usual, is the favorite for the team

title. The Hoosiers have won five straight championships. Michigan and Michigan

State should provide their chief opposition.

As for the wrestling meet at Champaign, Ill. Friday and Saturday, it will

be a question of whether Wally Johnson's grapplers can parlay their exceptional

balance into individual titles. Lee Gross is a two-time winner at 157 pounds and

is among the favorites again although he has been bothered by injuries. John Klein,

another injury victim, hopes to make a determined bid for the l67-pound crown as do

Jim Anderson at 123, Terry Barrett at 137, Bob Henry at 147, Bob Ramstad at 177

and Jon Staebler at heavyweight.

The Gophers have an impressive 13-2 overall dual meet record and have won

10 of 11 meets against Big Ten foes, including an 18-8 decision over Michigan, the

favorite for the Conference title. l1innesota's only defeat came at the hands of

Michigan State, generally rated as the Wolverine's stiffest competitio~

MINNEAPOLIS. The University of Hinnesota basketball team,

reassured that it can play winning basketball on a foreign court after

Monday night's 96 - 90 nod over Indiana, invades Columbus, Ohio Saturday

afternoon intent on avenging the one home court setback of the season -

that to Ohio State 102 - 98 on February 21. Four of Minnesota's five

losses have been suffered on the road.

The Gophers who are 7 - 5 in league play must tip the Buckeyes

to remain in the three-way battle with Iowa and Illinois for third place

behind Michigan and Michigan State. The Hawkeyes and Illini meet Satur-

day at Champaign in an elimination contest that will drop the loser down

a notch.

Minnesota's hopes of reversing the earlier decision taken by

the Buckeyes will depend in a large measure on the ability of Tom Kondla,

6-7 sophomore center, to maintain the standard of play he exhibited against

Indiana Monday night when he dropped 22 points and snared 13 rebounds for

his best night as a Gopher.

As the Gophers make their home-stretch drive against Ohio State

and Wisconsin, four individual all-time school records appear to be within

reach of Captain Archie Clark and Lou Hudson, with two new team records

looming as possibilities. They are as follows:

More than 700 high school coaches and athletes are expected to

participate in the University of Minnesota's annual free clinics in baseball,

golf, and tennis Saturday, March 12.

Dick Siebert, MinnAsota t s head baseball coach, heads the baseball

clinic. Glenn Gostick, assistant coach, and Cliff Replogle, groundskeeper

appear on the program. which starts at 9:00 a.m. in the Field House. This

clinic which attracted 500 last year is open to high school coaches, high

school players accompanied by their coaches, and Little League, Babe Ruth,and

American Legion coaches.

Registration for the tennis clinic which will be conducted in the

Cooke Hall third floor gymnasium by Joe Walsh, head tennis coach, is scheduled

for 8:30 - 9:00 a.m. Participating with Walsh will be Jack Roach, Kellogg

high termis coach; John Desmond, Minnesota freshman coach; and Wendell ottum,

No. I ranked player in the men's division of the USLTA Northwestern Section.

The golf clinic under Les Bolstad's direction will start at 9:00 a.m.

in the golf gymnasium in the South tower of Memorial Stadium and will continue

to noon.

The University of ~Iinnesota athletic department will be host at

the noon luncheon to be served on the tartan section of the Field House.

More than 1,000 high school coaches attended free clinics in

basketball, hockey, wrestling, swimming, and track conducted by 'lhe University

previously this school year.



MINNEAPOLIS. Gary Gambucci, speedy sophomore wing from Hibbing, is the

University of Minnesota hockey team's individual scoring champion for 1965-66.

Gambucci finished the season with a total of 40 points on a team high of 23 goals

along with 17 assists.

Chuck Norby, another fast-skating sophomore forward, was runnerup with

38 points. He accounted for 15 goals and 23 assists.

Senior Lorne Grosso, who centered for Gambucci and Norby, was third

with 36 points , giving the top line a combined total of 1lA points. Grosso led in

assists with 24.

Last year's scoring champ, Doug Woog, wound up with 30 points. The

senior All-American center missed three games, however.

Goalie John Lothrop compiled a 3.36 goals against average for the season

while making 773 saves, many of the miracle variety. His final stop percentage

was .892. He turned in one shutout, in a 10-0 affair against Colorado College.

The season which ended in a 4-2 playoft defeat to North Dakota at Grand

Forks Thursday was an odd one. The Gophers started slowly, losing five out of

their first seven Western Collegiate Hockey Association games. Then, the.y turned

into the hottest club in the league, winning 10 of their next 11 starts, six of

them on the road. Unfortunately, the campaign ended much the same as it started

with Minnesota dropping five of its last six games.

Another oddity concerns the fact that Minnesota defeated North Dakota

in tour out of six meetings but lost the most crucial one of all in the playoffs.

r - -- ---------------------------------------I,

Hockey - #2March 4, 1966

Overall, however, it was a successful year. Coach John Mariucci's men

finished in a second-place tie in the WCHA with North Dakota on a 13-9-0 record.

They were 16-12 for the entire season.

The Gophers lose six key performers from the current squad - goalie

Lothrop, defenseman Frank Zywiec, centers Grosso and Woog and wings Bruce larson

and Mark Ryman. All are three-year lettermen.

Some talented newcomers from the freshman squad should help fill the

MINNEAPOLIS. 'lhree University of Minnesota trackmen will compete

in the NCAA indoor track and field meet at Detroit Friday and Saturday.

The trio is composed of sophomore Tom Stuart who captured the Big

Ten indoor high jump title last weekend with a leap of six feet six inches,

junior Tom Heinonen, runnerup in the Big Ten two mile, and Larry Mueller,

second place finisher in the Conference pole vault. Mueller'S vault of

15 feet actually tied for best height but Northwestern's Bill Albrecht was

awarded the title on the basis of fewer misses.

Minnesota finished fifth in the Big Ten meet with 22 points.

This weekend's meet is only the second indoor intercollegiate

championship competition sponsored by the NCAA.

State, the two western entries, will be the winner when the action ends. Western

clubs have won 16 previous titles to just two for the East.

Denver has participated in five previous tourneys, starting in 1958.

The Pioneers won the championship that year and added titles in 1960 and '61.

Hichigan State's only previous appearance was in 1959 when the Spartans lost 4-3

to North Dakota in the championship game.

The two eastern crowns were captured by Boston College in 1949, the

second year of the tournament, and RPI in 1954. '!he' 54 victory came over a

highly-favored Minnesota team 5-4 in overtime.

Denver, coached by Murray Armstrong, and Michigan State, directed by

Amo Bessone, split a series at East Lansing during the regular season, the

Pioneers taking the opener 8-6 and the Spartans the finale 4-1.

Both teams have had their share of joy and gloom this season. Denver

was highly regarded before the WCHA schedule got underway but could manage no

better than a 2-4 record in its first six league games. After that, the Pioneers

won 8, lost three and tied three to end the season with a 10-7-3 Association

record, good for fourth place just a half game behind second place Minnesota and

North Dakota, They battled their way into the NCAA by winning playoff victories

over Colorado College 8-2 and North Dakota 5-4 in overtime.

Michigan State boasted explosive scoring power all year but was held in

check by a generous defense. 'lh.e Spartans would up sixth in the WCHA on a 9-11

mark. In the playoffs, however, they tightened their defense and went on to edge

Hichigan 3-2, then pulled the upset of the year, whipping defending NCAA champion

and WCHA kingpin Michigan Tech 4-3. In that game, State got off to a 4-1 lead in

the second period and then held off a furious Husky comeback.

Both teams will oppose eastern squads in the opening round games of the

NCAA. The eastern entries will be announced Sunday.

HINNEAPOLIS. Williams Arena this week will be the site of collegiate

hockey's climactic event of 1966 - the NCAA tournament which brings together the

nation's four top teams.

Denver of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association meets Clarkson of

the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Thursday at 8 p.m. and Michigan State,

also of the WCHA plays Boston University, another eastern power at the same time

Friday.

The two winners will meet for the championship Saturday, also at 8: 00 p.m.,

while the losers are scheduled to clash for the consolation title at 2:00 that

afternoon.

Eastern entries were announced Sunday following completion of the ECAC

playoff won by Clarkson. The Golden Knights from PotSdam, N. Y., also won the

regular season crown. They were 14-1-0 against conference foes and 23-2-0 in compe-

tition against all comus. Boston University compiled a Z7-6-0 record overall and

23-3-0 in league play. The Terriers wound up second in the ECAC.

This year t s tourney marks Clarkson's fifth trip to the NCAA. The Knights

took consolation honors in 1957, '58 and '63 and finished second to Michigan State

in 1962.

Boston U. also has appeared four previous times, losing in the champion

ship game to Colorado College in 1950, winning the consolation crown in 1951 and '60

and dropping the consolation game in 1953.

MINNEAPOLIS. Balance looms as the chief strength of the University of

Hinnesota baseball squad which leaves Saturday on its annual trip to Texas.

lfWe should have pretty good hitting, fielding, pitching and speed,"

declares Gopher coach Dick Siebert, "but we III lack power and must rely on inexperi

enced men at some positions." Fortunately there is quality among the upcoming sophs.

Siebert, who is about to start his 19th campaign as Gopher head man, would

just as soon forget about last season which found the Gophers dogged by misfortunes

and finally winding up seventh in the Big Ten on a 5-7 record after winning the

Conference and NCAA crowns the year before.

Seven lettermen return from that squad -- first baseman Dennis Zacho,

second baseman Ron Roalstad, shortstop Steve Schneider, leftfielder Dave Hoffman,

centerfielder-pitcher Frank Brosseau and two other hurlers, Jerry Wickman and Chuck

Thoreson.

Lost from the 165 squad are catcher Jerry CaWley, outfielders Fred

DeGregoire and Archie Clark, third baseman Jerry Fuchs and pitchers Joe Pollack

and Gene Rasmussen. DeGregoire and Pollack have completed their eligibility.

Fuchs and Rasmussen are no longer in school and Clark has decided to pass up base-

ball this spring.

Top sophomore candidates include catchers Mike Sadek of Richfield and Bob

Hicheletti, Springfield, Illinois; third baseman-shortstop Ed Bruksch, Glenview,

Illinois; outfielder-infielder Bob Fenwick, Anoka; outfielders Dick Paradise, St.

Paul (Cretin); Tom Boldt, St. Paul (Central); pitcher Dave Baldridge, Minneapolis

(West) •

Baseball - #2March 14, 1966

Two non-lettering juniors, Jerry Sevlie and Jim Stewart, figure to break

into the starting pitching rotation along with Brosseau, who should be among the

Big Tenls best, and Wickman. Thoreson is expected to be joined in the bullpen by

Tom Lindberg and Mike 1'-lcNair, two other non-lettermen, along with Baldridge.

The Gophers face a busy stay in Texas next week. Siebert will split his

squad Honday and Tuesday for single games with Texas at Austin and Texas Lutheran

at Seguin. Single games are on tap for Wednesday and 'Ihursday against Texas A & M

at College Station and doubleheaders with Sam Houston State at Huntsville Friday

and Saturday. The team will return to Minnesota Sunday, March 27.

MINNEAPOLIS. The schedule says that the University of Minnesota will

the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455EWS Mailed March 28, 1966


play Iowa State in baseball at Ames Friday and Saturday. Only trouble is the

weatherman doesn't a.lways pay much attention to schedules in early spring. This

year, however, the outlook is good. Ames missed last week's deluge of snow and,

if the present trend continues, the games - two each day - will be played.

Such a development indeed would bring joy to Gopher coach Dick Siebert

who saw 14 games wiped out a year ago because of snow, rain and other inclemencies.

liost of the cancellations came in early and mid-April after the Gophers had returned

from their annual Texas tour. As a result, the squa.d lost its timing at the plate,

a hitting famine and a seventh place tie in the Conference ensued.

The Gopher coach declared himself generally pleased with last week's

Texas venture despite Minnesota I s middling 4-6-1 record. ''We lost three games and

tied one against the two best teams in Texas, Il he explains. "Texas and Texas A & M

had a combined record of 22-1 and were tied for first place in the Southwestern

Conference. 11

Siebert is quick to point out, however, that the Gophers must show plenty

of improvement if they want to cut much of a figure in the Big Ten race. "Right

now lId say Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State are the teams to beat, and

we'll have to go quite a way to be in their cla515."

Overall, Minnesota's hitting and fielding figures were not impressive

for the week. The squad compiled a. meager .222 average at the plate and committed

36 errors in II games. Siebert, though not ecstatic about the situation, does

feel that the Gophers have better potential in both departments than the early

record would indicate.

March 28 - #2

There were some individual bright spots. Fr3llk Brosseau led the team in

hitting with a healthy .400 percento.ge and did a fine job in centerfield. The two

~ sophomore catchers, Bob ~licheletti and l1ike Sadek, performed well behind the plate

nnd hit .318 and .313 respectively. Another sophomore, reserve first baseman Tim

Holker, hit .318 and did good work in the field. Gary Reierson, originally counted

on in a pinch-hitting role, pushed himself into the picture in left field. He

performed capably afield, hit .304, belted two homeruns and tied Brosseau for high

in total bases with 14.

The non-lettering juniors, Jerry Sevlie and Mike McNair were the big

surprises among the pitchers. Sevlie fashioned a 1.06 earned run average, allowing

just two earned runs and 11 hits in 17 innings. He struck out 17 and walked only

two. l~cNair compiled a 2.61 ERA. He threw a six-hitter and gave up just one

earned run against Texas A & M despite losing 5-1. Tom Lindberg, a senior who has

not lettered, had a 0.90 ERA for 10 innings..

Siebert figures to start Brosseau and Sevlie against Iowa State Friday

and NcNair and Jerry Wickman Saturday.

One pitcher, Jim Stewart, became a casualty when he hurt his elbow while

warming up against Texas Lutheran early in the week and did not pitch again. The

arm was coming around by the end of the trip, however, and he is expected to be

ready soon.

Ed Bruksch, a sophomore infielder and transfer student from Air Force

Academy, will be eligible to play this weekend and probably will be tried at both

third and short.

MINNEAPOLIS. First stop for the University of Minnesota outdoor track

team. this spring will be the Texas Relays at Austin, Texas, Friday and Saturday.

Gopher coach Roy Griak is taking an lS-man squad which will compete in

a variety of relay, hurdle and field events. '!hose making the trip are Tom

Stuart and Marvin Top, high jump; Wendell Bjorklund, long jtmlp and high jtmlp;

Joe Lane, shot put; Larry Mueller and John Shaffer, pole vault; Hubie Bryant

and John Warford, hurdles; sprinters Bill Stevens, Tom Christenson, Mike Gillham

and Rich Simonsen; middle distance men Stan Gaffin, Tom Ochs and Bob Wandberg;

distance runners Mike Elwell, John Valentine and Tom Heinonen.

Heinonen, in the recent indoor NCAA meet at Detroit, turned in the best

two-mile time ever recorded by a Big Ten runner, finishing fifth with an

8: 55.3 effort which topped the previous NCAA record. He will compete in the

three mile run in Texas. Stuart, a sophomore, is Big Ten champ in the high

jtmlp and holds the Minnesota varsity record in that event with a height of

###



MINNEAPOLIS. Bob Hoecherl, University of Minnesota

side horse specialist, will compete in the NCAA gymnastics

championships at Penn State University Friday and Saturday.

Hoecherl, who placed seventh in the side horse in the

NCAA regional meet at Wheaton College two weeks ago, is

the only Gopher entry. He placed third in the Big Ten in

his event.

FOR SUNDAY (APRIL 3) AM'S RELEASEErathe University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455

MINNEAPOLIS. Spring practice starts Saturday (April 9) for the Univer-

sity of Minnesota football team and Coach MurrayWarmath and his staff face a

formidable task in replacing 22 lettermen lost from last fall's squad which tied

for third place in the Big Ten.

The Gophers will have a total of 20 days to make advanced preparations

for the '66 season. The schedule calls for practice sessions Tuesday, Wednesday

and 'Ihursday afternoons wi.th scrimmages on Saturdays. '!he annual spring intra-

squad game is set for Saturday, May 7, and practice will close May 14.

As Warmath heads into his 13th season at the Minnesota helm he finds

himself faced with replacing the likes of quarterback John Hankinson; ends Aaron

Brown, Bob Bruggers, and Kent Kramer; tackles Gale Gillingham, Jim Fulgham, and

Don Rosen; guards Paul Faust, Brian Callahan, and Randy Staten; center Deryl Ramey;

offensive halfback Dave Colburn; defensive backs Stew Maples and Bill Bevan, Jr.;

and punter Bruce Van De Walker. Hankinson, Brown, and Kramer rewrote the passing

section of the Minnesota record book. Hankinson figured in seven new all-time

school marks.

The letterman nucleus around which Wannath must rebuild is comprised of

Captain Chuck Killian, center; McKinley Boston, tackle; Chet Anderson, end; Ken

Last, flankerback and end; Hubie Bryant, Dick Peterson, and Ray Whitlow, offensive

halfbacks; Gordon Condo, defensive safety; Curtis Wilson, offensive quarterback;

Tom Sakal, defensive halfback; John Williams and Joe Holmberg, offensive fullbacks;

Jerry Newsom, defensive fullback; Tim Wheeler and Gary Reierson, interior line-

backers. Of the 39 letterwinners in 1965, 17 are expected to return.

.'April 1 - #2

Non-letter winners Glen Wirtanen and Larry Carlson are in the quarter-

back irl-cture.

Because of the numerous gaping holes left by the departure of so many

starters, Warmath faces what he considers his most difficult rebuilding job since

coming to Minnesota. "Our 1965 freshman squad is going to have to make the biggest

contribution of any in my time here if we are to field a team that can match our

1965 record (5-4-1), II says Warmath.

This puts the spotlight square~ on the 1966 sophomores who are lacking

in "super stars ll and will remain pretty much an unknown quality and quantity until

they go under the gun in September. Obviously, spring practice at l-tinnesota is

going to carry with it special import tor Warmath and the Gophers this year.

On the basis of their showing as freshmen, the best sophomore bets for

varsity recognition are ends Delbert Jessen (6-1, 210 pounds), Luverne, and Bob

Stein (6-3, 214), St. Louis Park; tackle Ronald Karnzelski (6-3, 245), Baden, Pa.;

guard William Laakso (6-0, 208), Hillsdale, N. J.; center Stephen Lundeen (6-2, 220),

Hinneapolis (Roosevelt); quarterback Ray Stephens (6-3, 210), Uniontown, Pa.. ; and

MINNEAPOLIS. Former University of Illinois quarterback Robert Gongo1a,

33, has been recommended by Head Coach Murray Warmath for appointment as an

assistant coach on the University of Minnesota football staff. The recommendation

has been submitted by Athletic Director Marsh Ryman to President O. Meredith Wilson

for action by the University Regents at their April 15 meeting.

Gongola, a 1956 graduate of Illinois, served as an assistant coach

with the Toronto Rifles football club last season and prior to that held assistant

coaching positions at Furman for four years and Harvard for three.

A veteran of the Navy, Gongo1a lettered on the 1952 and '54 Illini

squads but missed the '53 season due to injury. He started at quarterback against

Minnesota in 1954, Warmath's first year as Gopher head coach. Minnesota won the

game 19-6.

Gongola's exact coaching duties at Minnesota have not been determined as

yet. He is expected to join the Gopher staff for spring practice.

MINNEAPOLIS. Dick Siebert's University of Minnesota baseball team,

suddenly on a hitting rampage, won't be able to complain for want of activity this

weekend, if the weatherman is lenient. The Gophers are scheduled to play six games

in three days. They invade Wartburg College at Waverly, Iowa, for doubleheaders

Thursday and Friday before moving on to Luther College at Decorah, Iowa, for a pair

Saturday.

Siebert was highly pleased with the booming bats suddenly unleashed by

his squad against Iowa State at Ames last weekend. The Gophers captured three of

four games to even their season's record at 7-7-1 and belted out a total of 41 hits

good for 27 runs in the process.

Among the most pleasant developments was the hitting of sophomores Bob

Fenwick, Ed Bruksch, Bob Micheletti and Mike Sadek. Infielder-outfielder Fenwick

broke out of a. slump with nine hits in 14 appearances. Bruksch, who can play either

third base or shortstop, made his Gopher debut against the Cyclones and came up with

five hits in 11 trips to take over the team batting leadership with a .4;; mark.

Hicheletti and Sadek, Siebert's youthful catching tandem, continued the lusty hitting

they demonstrated in Texas. Micheletti ranks second on the squad with a .379 percen-

tage and Sadek is .348 on the season.

Siebert hasn't definitely decided his pitching rotation for the weekend

but expects to go with Jerry Sevlie and Mike McNair Thursday, Frank Brosseau and

Jerry \'J'ickman Saturday and Chuck Thoreson and Tom Lindberg Saturday.

The Gophers play their home openers next Tuesday at Delta Field in a twin

bill which will feature Augsburg as the foe in the first game and St. Thomas in the

nightcap. The action gets underway at 2: 00 p.m.

MINNEAPOLIS. Iowa State and Nebraska provide the competition for the

the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455Ers Mailed April 6, 1966


University of Minnesota track team Saturday in a triangular meet at Ames, Iowa.

Nebraska has two of the outstanding sprinters in the country in Charlie

Green and Lynn Headley. Green, who has been bothered recently by a muscle pull,

tied the world record for the 60 yard dash this year with a :05.9 time. He is

expected to be ready for the Gophers. Headley tied the Big Eight record for the

60 with a :06.2 race last winter to capture the Big Eight title. In addition, the

Cornhuskers have one of the nation's top middle distance men in Dave Crook.

Iewa State has its share of standout performers, too, including Bruce

Carlson who was 1/10 of a second behind the NCAA record holder in the 600 indoors.

The Cyclones also boast a first-rate high hurdler in Darryl Green.

Gopher coach Roy Griak was generally pleased with his squad's showing

in the Texas Relays last weekend. Among those singled out for special praise were

Tom Heinonen who broke the Minnesota varsity record by over 20 seconds in the three

mile with a 13: 58.4 clocking. Joe Lane continued his excellent work in the shot

put and the 440 and 880 relay teams composed of Hubie Bryant, Bill Stevens, Mike

Gillham and Rich Simonsen turned in some fine running only to have their efforts

marred by faulty baton passing.

Aaron Brown, Bob Bruggers, and Kent Kramer; tackles Gale Gillingham, Jim Fulgham,

and Don Rosen; guards Paul Faust, Brian Callahan, and Randy Staten; center Deryl

Ramey; offensive halfback Dave Colburn; defensive backs Stew Maples and Bill Bevan,

Jr.; and punter Bruce Van De Walker. Hankinson, Brown, and Kramer rewrote the

passing section of the Minnesota record book. Hankinson figured in seven new all-

time school marks.

The letterman nucleus around which Warmath must rebuild is comprised of

Captain Chuck Killian, center; McKinley Boston, tackle; Chet Anderson, end; Ken

Last, flankerback and end; Hubie Bryant, Dick Peterson, and Ray Whitlow, offensive

halfbacks; Gordon Condo, defensive safety; Curtis Wilson, offensive quarterback;

Tom Sakal, defensive halfback; John Williams and Joe Holmberg, offensive fullbacks;

Jerry Newsom, defensive fullback; Tim Wheeler and Gary Reierson, interior line-

backers. Of the 39 letterwinners in 1965, 17 are expected to return.

Non-letter winners Glen Wirtanen and Larry Carlson are in the quarterback

picture.

Because of the numerous gaping holes left by the departure of so many starters,

Warmath faces what he considers his most difficult rebuilding job since coming to

Minnesota. "Our 1965 freshman squad is going to have to make the biggest contri

bution of any in my time here if we are to field a team that can match our 1965

record (5 - 4 - 1)," says Warmath.

- --------------------------------- ..J

-- ._- ._- --------,

Virtually every pre-season questionaire asks for "Strengths" and "Weaknesses. lI

During the 1965 season the Minnesota end corps ranked with the best in the nation

in caliber and depth. Unless some freshmen or 1965 reserves make miraculous pro

gress, the 1966 Gophers will not have unllsual depth and/or class at any one posi

tion. The staff will be searching for capable starters in most positions right up

to the kickoff of the opening game with Missouri at Columbia September 17. Last

and Killian are the only players who could be regarded at this time as certain

starters on offense next fall.

The departure of John Hankinson has left the quarterback post wide open. A

four-way contest for the vacancy is forseen between Curtis Wilson, junior from

Lawton, Oklahoma used primarily on kickoff returns last season; Glen Wirtanen,

junior from Downers Grove, Illinois and Larry Carlson, junior from Williston, North

Dakota, both non-lettering reserves in 165; and Ray Stephens, 6-3, 210 pound

sophomore from Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Ray is the brother of Sandy Stephens,

Minnesota's All America quarterback in 1961.

In the absence of Hankinson and receivers Brown, Kramer, Bob Bruggers, and

John Rajala, Warmath may revamp his offense with more emphasis on the ground

attack and ball control. Veterans Hubie Bryant, Dick Peterson, and Ray Whitlow,

and frosh prospects Dennis Hale of Jackson (6-2, 180), Noel Jenke of Owatonna

(6-1, 212), Chip Litten of Fargo, N. D. (6-2, 195), and Merrill Forte of Hanni.bal,

Mo. (6-0, 195) could give the Gophers substantially more running strength at half

back than they had last season. Litten is expected to understudy Ken Last at

flankerback (right half). Dennis Cornell, 212 pound sophomore from Clinton, Pa.

is expected to combine with veterans Joe Holmberg and John Williams for added punch

at fullback. Cornell is regarded by the coaching staff as a potential starter.

This puts the spotlight squarely on the 1966 sophomores who are lacking in

"super stars" and will remain pretty much an unknown quailty and quantity until

they go under the gun in Septe:nber. Obviously, spring practice at Minnesota is

going to carry with it special import for Warmath and the Gophers this year.

At the conclusion of freshman football practice last fall the following players

were rated as "having varsity potential:"

ENDS: Delbert Jessen (6-1, 210), Luverne; Bob Stein (6-3, 214), St. Louis Park.

TACKLES: Richard Enderle (6-2, 250), Elbow Lake; Ronald Kamzelski (6-3, 245),Baden, Pa.; Jerry Hermann (6-3, 235), Menomonie, Wis.; Ezell Jones(6-4, 240), Memphis, Tenn.; Marvin Mortenson (6-1, 230), Grand Rapids.

GUARDS: Andrew Brown (6-1, 205), Minneapolis (St. Thomas); Bob Fortier(5-10, 203), Bemidji; William Laakso (6-0, 208), Hillsdale, N. J.

CENTER: Stephen Lundeen (6-2, 220), Minneapolis (Roosevelt).

OFFENSIVE HALFBACKS: Merrill Forte (6-0, 195), Hannibal, Mo.; Dennis Hale(6-2, lSO), Jackson; Noel Jenke (6-1, 212), Owatonna.

OFFENSIVE FULLBACK: Dennis Cornell (6-0, 212), Clinton, Pa.

OFFENSIVE QUARTERBACK: Ray Stephens (6-3, 210), Uniontown, Pa.

FLANKERBACK: Charles (Chip) Litten (6-2, 195), Fargo, N. D.

DEFENSIVE FULLBACKS: Richard Fortier (5-11, 198), Bemidji; Roger Christison(6-3, 225), Grand Forks, N.

On the basis of their showing as freshman ends Jessen and Stein; tackle

Kamzelski; guard Laakso; center Lundeen; fullback Cornell and quarterback Stephens

appear to be the best sophomore bets for varsity recognition.

Because of the severe decimation of veteran talent,Ken Last who plays end or

flankerbavk, and Chuck Killian at offensive center are the only returning lettermen

who at this time figure as possible "all star" selections.

Ersfrom the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455

An ailing University of Minnesota track team moves into Big

Ten competition Saturday when it meets Northwestern and Indiana. in a triangular meet

at Evanston, Ill.

Coach Roy Griak's squad has been hit by an epidemic of colds and flu which

forced several men out of action in last weekend's triangular at Ames, Iowa. An

even dozen Gophers missed practice Monday, including such stalwarts as Big Ten in-

door high jump champ Tom Stuart, shot put specialist Joe Lane, pole vaulters Larrj"

11ueller and John Shaffer, and sprinter Capt. Bill Stevens. Griak hopes all hands

will be ready by Saturday but fears at least some will not be in top shape.

Minnesota finished second to Nebraska in last week's meet. The Huskers

amassed a tota.1 of 74 points to 53 for the Gophers and 32 for Iowa State. Several

Hinnesota men performed well, including Lane who tied the Gopher varsity record in

the shot with a heave of 58 feet and Mueller who turned in his personal outdoor best

in the pole vault with a 15-1~ effort. Tom Heinonen set a meet record in the three

mile (14:35.4) and Rich Simonsen contributed a :9.9 100 yard dash, a :22.0 race in

the 220 and a :48. 7 quarter mile leg in the mile relay.

Among Northwestern's top men are Big Ten indoor and outdoor pole vault

champion Jim Albrecht, distance men Craig Boydston, runnerup in the Conference

mile event; and Lee Assenheimer, Big Ten cross country champ and a fourth-place

finisher in the Conference two mile indoors; middle distance man Jim Harris, a

third-place performer in the indoor 600; and long jumper who also was third indoors.

Indiana is strongest in the sprints with such men as Randy Weddle, Big

Ten indoor king in the 300 yard dash; and Dick Dilling, third indoors in the same

event. They also boast a fine high jumper in Dick Swift who placed fifth in the

Conference indoors.

HINNEAPOLIS. The University of Minnesota tennis team this weekend starts


its quest for a first division finish in the Big Ten, something which has eluded

the Gophers since 1959. The opening competition at Ann Arbor, Mich., Friday and

Saturday could be the toughest of the campaign - defending champion Michigan and

highly-regarded Michigan State.

"Right now I'd have to rate Michigan and State 1-2 in the Conference,"

says Gopher coach Joe Walsh who Will be making his Big Ten debut. "Michigan has

No. 1 man Karl Hedrick back from last year, along With Jerry Stewart who won the

No.4 singles title and Jim Swift who was on the Winning No.3 doubles team. In

addition, they have a great soph prospect in Ron Teeguarden. State has four strong

returnees and a couple of outstanding sophs. One of their newcomers, Dave Monan,

is playing No. 1."

Walsh isn't promising any victories, but he does feel that the Gopher-

Spartan clash could be extremely close if his squad plays up to its potential.

TlWe have as fine a No. 1 man as any in the Conference in Jerry Noyce," he points

out, "and our balance is good."

The Gophers face State in singles and doubles action Friday afternoon and

battle Michigan in doubles the same day, finishing up With the singles matches

Saturday morning.

According to the scoring system adopted by the Big Ten last year, points

scored in dual meets count toward the final team order of finish, along with

Conference tournament competition.

MINNEAPOLIS. Dick Siebert' B University of Minnesota baseball team moves

into its last weekend before the start of the Big Ten season with doubleheaders at

Delta Field against North Dakota State starting at 2 p.m. Friday and South Dakota

State at 1 p.m. Saturday.

The Gophers' final non-conference action of the spring will be next Tues-

dayls doubleheader with Mankato State, also at Delta Field, starting at 2 p.m.

They swing into Co~erence play the following weekend against Wisconsin and North-

western.

Minnesota won its eighth and ninth straight Tuesday when it defeated

Augsburg 5-2 and St. Thomas 4-3. The sweep brought the season record to 13-7-1.

Siebert still doesn't have a set starting lineup and chances are, he won't

have one for some time, possibly not for the entire campaign. "We've got 11 players

who can help us, not counting pitchers," the coach points out. "As it stands now,

I'm going to play it by ear and go with the players I think will help most in

specific games."

The top "eleven" features firstbaseman Dennis Zacho, secondbaseman Ron

Roalstad, shortstop Steve Schneider, firstbaseman-outfielder Gary Reierson, second-

baseman-thirdbaseman Ed Bruksch, thirdbaseman-outfielder Bob Fenwick, outfielders

Dave Hoffman and Dick Paradise, outfielder-pitcher Frank Brosseau, catchers Bob

Sadek and Tom Micheletti.

Bruksch leads the squad in hitting with a .389 mark, followed by Hoffman

and Schneider at .333, Sadek (.324), Reierson (.315), Fenwick (.313) and Micheletti

(.306).

April 13 - #2

Siebert's biggest need at present is another reliable righthanded pitcher.

Thus far, Brosseau is the squad's only sure-fire righthanded starter. A pair of

lefties, }fake McNair and Jerry Wiclonan, round out the "Big TIlree." Before the season

it looked as if Jim Stewart and Jerry Sevlie, a couple of non-lettering junior

righthanders, would fill the bill. Unfortunately Stewart injured his elbow warming

up on the Texas trip and has not pitched at all while Sevlie, after an impressive

start, has been bombed in recent outings. Another righthander, sophomore Dave

Baldridge, also is sidelined With a shoulder ailment incurred in Texas.

Brosseau and McNair will get the starting assignments against South Dakota

State and Wickman is scheduled to work the first game against North Dakota State.

Siebert isn't sure who will get the nod in the second game against the Nodaks, but

it will be either Sevlie, Chuck Thoreson or Tom Lindberg. TIle latter two are both

righthanders but originally were slated for relief duty.

McNair has the best earned run average among the starters with a nifty

1.58 mark.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Bill Peterson who in a five-year tenure at Florida State

University has put the Seminoles in the forefront of Southeastern collegiate foot-

ball will be the principal lecturer at the :lAth annual University of Minnesota free

football clinic Friday and Saturday, May 6 - 7.

In 1964, playing with the first team recruited entirely by his staff,

Peterson coached the Seminoles to an 8 - 1 - 1 record and a 36 - 19 victory over

Oklahoma University in the 1965 Gator Bowl at Jacksonville. Twice during the past

two seasons he has been named "Coach of the week" by a major wire service.

Peterson is credited with making Florida State one of the Nation's most

exciting football teams with its one and two-flankered formations and pass-oriented,

pro-type offense which he combines with a hard-nosed gambling defense. Other

coaches on the two-day program include Steve Silianoff, South St. Paul high school

and John Drew, Marshall high of Rochester. Registration for the clinic will be

from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. Friday, May 6 at Northrop Auditorium where all sessions will

be held. Friday programs will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon, and from 1:00 p.m. to

4:00 p.m. The Sports and attractions committee of the Minneapolis Chamber of

Commerce will serve a luncheon in the hockey rink of Williams Arena Friday noon.

Saturda;;r's session will be from 9: 00 a.m. to 12 noon.

The annual University of l1innesota spring intra-squad football game

starting at 1:30 p.m. in Williams Arena will be held as part of the clinic.

MINNEAPOLIS. Despite identical 8-1 setbacks at the hands of Michigan

State and Michigan last weekend, University of Minnesota tennis coach Joe Walsh is

not discouraged as he prepares his squad for another rugged road trip Friday and

Saturday. '!he Gophers will travel to South Bend, Ind., to take on two of the most

highly-rated teams in the midwest -- Notre Dame and Southern Illinois.

"I said before the matches with Michigan and Michigan State last week

that we would be up against the two toughest teams in the Big Ten," says Walsh.

nlf anything, State was stronger than I had expected. Still, the lopsided scores

are a little misleading. Several of our doubles matches and a couple of the singles

could have gone either way. I'm afraid we didn't play every point as tightly as we

should have, and this hurt."

One bright spot was the sparkling play of Capt. Jerry Noyce who produced

Ninnesota's only two victories, including a 6-4, 6-3 sweep of Karl Hedrick, a victor

over Noyce and Big Ten semi-finalist last year.

Notre Dame boasts two of the top junior players in the country in Tom

Brown and Gary Reiser. In addition, the Fighting Irish have the No. 1 junior

player from India -- Jit Singh. Southern Illinois, always a tennis power, already

has shut out one Big Ten foe -- Wisconsin.

"This weekend will give us another real test," Walsh admits. "After

that, it's back to the Big Ten, and I think we'll hold our own pretty well in

Conference play now that we have Michigan and State behind us."

MINNEAPOLIS. Roy Griak is hopeful that his University of Minnesota track

team will be healthy this weekend when it journeys to Lawrence, Kansas, for the 41st

annual Kansas Relays. The Gophers were far from healthy last Saturday but managed

to win a triangular from Northwestern and Indiana without much trouble, producing

80 points to 51 for the Hoosiers and 41 for the Wildcats. All 25 Minnesota entries

had a hand in the scoring.

Nine Gophers competed although under par from flu and colds. This group

included Tom Stuart who cleared 6 feet, 7 inches in the high jump despite his

miseries. Others were middle distance and distance men Stan Gaffin, Tom Ochs and

Mike Elwell, pole vaulters John Shaffer and Larry Hueller, shot put specialist Joe

Lane, hurdler John Warford and quarter-miler Tom Christenson. Shaffer and Lane also

won their respective events.

The bulk of the squad will leave for Lawrence Thursday, but Tom Heinonen

will start a day early so as to compete in the 10,000 meter run Thursday. The meet

will continue through Saturday. Minnesota will compete in a variety of relays as

well as the shot put, high jump and pole vault. Heinonen also will compete in the

three mile event.

l>1:innesota performed well in the Relays last year, capturing fourth place

in the distance medley and four-mile relays as well as the long jump (Wendell

Bjorklund) and 10,000 meters (Heinonen). Norris Peterson and Heinonen also finished

second and third respectively in the three mile.

Additional bright spots in last weekend's triangular victory includedtriumphs by Phil Soltvedt in the 440 and Bjorklund in the long jump along with surprising performances by two men who have not figured in the scoring picture previously - Jack Trolander, fourth in the two mile, and Al Bender, third in theintermediate hurdles.

in 1965 by routing Northwestern 13-1 and split with Wisconsin on the road in the

last weekend of play. Siebert hopes the Gophers OaD do at least as well at home

this ti.n1.e.

The doubleheader between rftnnesota and ¥J.B.nkato State scheduled for Delta

Field Tuesday had to be scrubbed because of wet grounds and will not be made up.

As a result, the Gophers wound up their non-conference slate with a 16-8-1 record.

Incidentally, the Mankato cancellation was the first of the season. Fifteen games

had to be dropped a year ago.

How does Siebert see the upcoming Big Ten season? "I'd say we would have

to be considered a darkhorse," he declares. "Michigan should be the favorite with

Ohio State and Michigan State the top contenders in that order."

Siebert feels the Gophers' progress is right on schedule. ''We're playing

up to my expectations at this point, no better and no worse," he notes. "Despite

our poor hitting last weekend against South Dakota State, I'd have to say our

strongest point is still good balance overall. The one exception would be a lack

of pitching depth."

As for the happiest surprises of the spring to date, Siebert singles out

the pitching of junior lefthander Mike McNair who did not letter in 1965, the

clutch hitting and fielding both in left field and at first base offootballer

Gary Reierson, the team-leading hitting of sophomore infielder Ed Bruksch and the

II

April 19, 1966 - #2

fine all-around play of sophomore catchers Mike Sadek and Bob Micheletti.

Disappointments? Firstbaseman Dennis Zacho's inability to hit would have

to head the list, followed by the tailing off at the plate of both second baseman

Ron Roalstad and outfielder-pitcher Frank Brosseau.

Bruksch led the Gophers in hitting for the non-conference slate with a

.448 average, followed by outfielder Dave Hoffman (.358) and shortstop Steve

Schneider (.346). Among the pitchers, McNair fashioned the best earned run average

(1.53). Brosseau ranks second among the starters (2.43).

The tentative Gopher starting lineup for Friday will have Zacho at first

base, Roalstad at second, Schneider at short, Bruksch at third, Reierson in left

field, Hoffman in center, speedy Bob Fenwick in right and Sadek behind the plate.

Brosseau, a righthander, will be the starting pitcher Friday and will go to center-

field Saturday. Sadek and Micheletti will split the Saturday catching chores and

the starting pitching assignments will go to McNair and Jerry Wickman, both south-

paws.

Wisconsin has an outstanding pitcher in Dennis Sweeney who won four of

five starts in the Big Ten last year and had a 1.84 ERA. He also swings a mean bat,

as witnessed by his homerun in the second Minnesota game last year which defeated

the Gophers 3-2.

Northwestern had a miserable year last season, winding up last with just

one win in 15 league games. The Wildcats have been strengthened this season by the

addition of a couple of fine sopha -- catcher Jim Henderson and pitcher Roger Benko.

According to the advance dope, however, Glenn Cermak, a lefty, and Jim Bland, a

righthander, will start Saturday.

MINNEAPOLIS. 'tWe should be able to win two of the three matches this week-

end, 11 predicts Mirmesota tennis coach Joe Walsh. The Gopher tutor is quite confi-

dent heading into a Big 10 quadrangular against Indiana, Iowa and Ohio State in

Iowa City Friday and Saturday.

Although his squad had just suffered 7-2 and 6-3 setbacks at the hands of

Notre Dame and Southern Illinois, Walsh states, "I think we are ready for the Big 10. II

Walsh pointed out that he had scheduled meets with some of the toughest

schools in the Midwest in getting ready for the Big 10 schedule. He feels they have

already faced the two strongest teams in the Conference in Michigan and Michigan

State.

Now that those two schools are out of the way, Walsh feels that Minnesota

should finish "in the top four or five, at least in the upper half" of the Confer-

ence.

In speaking of this coming weekend in Iowa, Walsh said he felt Indiana would

probably provide the toughest competition. HOl'leVer, he is confident his squad

should down both Iowa and Ohio State and that they have a good chance against

Indiana.

The home schedule will open Wednesday afternoon, May 4, against Carleton.

Friday and Saturday, the Gophers will entertain Wisconsin and Purdue in the Big 10

home opener, May 6-7.



MINNEAPOLIS. Coach Roy Griak, pleased with his track squad1s record-

breaking performances at the Kansas Relays, plans to enter the same personnel in the

Drake Relays in Des 1'Ioines, Iowa, this weekend.

The squad will find it hard to improve upon last weekend, but Griak is

nevertheless quite optimistic: ''We hope to do a little better now that the squad has

gained more experience," he stated.

The Gophers accounted for three new varsity relay records while at Kansas;

Bill Stevens, Dick Simonsen, Mike Gillham, and Stan Gaffin combined for a

3:26.8 timing in the sprint medley while finishing sixth in the competition behind

winning Oklahoma State.

The squad of Mike Elwell, John Valentine, Gaffin, and Tom Ochs clipped

three-tenths of a second off the four-mile relay mark as they were clocked at

17:27.6. The old record was set at the Relays last year by Valentine, Gaffin, Elwell,

and Dave Wegner.

A new mark of 3:15.3 in the mile relay was set by Phil Soltvedt, Tom

Christianson, Simonsen, and Gillham. The previous mark of 3:16.0 was established in

1960.

Needless to say, Coach Griak was well pleased with the Gophers I perfor-

mance. 'tWe had some real quality running from our squad this weekend, II he connnented.

In addition to the record-breaking perfonnances, Minnesota picked up fifthplace finishes in several other events: Tom Stuart in the high jump; Simonsen inthe lao-yard dash; Tom Heinonen in the 10,OOO-meter run; and the distance medleyteam of Gaffin, Gillham, Heinonen, and Elwell.

Elwell and Valentine both turned in excellent times in the mile run; 4:10and 4:15 respectivelY, their personal bests. John Warford ran a 14:4 personal bestin the high hurdles. Both John Shaffer and Larry Mueller cleared 15 feet in thepole vault.

Following the Drake Relays, the Gophers will entertain Wisconsin on theHemori-al Stadium track Saturday, May 7, then travel to Iowa City for a triangularwith Iowa and Northwestern before competing in the Big 10 Conference Championshipsin Bloomington, Indiana, May 20-21.



MINNEAPOLIS. Even though it is only the second week of the Big 10 baseball<',

season, the Gophers find themselves heading into what could be a crucial weekend

series against Illinois and Purdue.

Both the Illini and the Gophers have 3-0 records following the opening

weekend of play. Minnesota pulled out a 2-0 victory against Wisconsin and identical

11-4 victories over Northwestern while Illinois was taking theee games from Purdue.

'We didn't play exceptionally good ball, committing six errors in Satur-

day's doubleheader," stated Coach Dick Siebert. "Our defense has been just average."

Northwestern and Wisconsin did not provide the toughest competition.

Siebert feels the squad will have to play better ball during the rest of the schedule

in order to have a chance at the Big 10 championship. Says Siebert, "We definitely

did not play championship ball."

The weekend series did have its bright spots however. "(Frank) Brosseau

threw a good game Friday," commented Siebert. The Gopher pitcher threw just 94

pitches, 72 of which were strikes, in defeating Wisconsin. In addition, he did not

allow any Wisconsin runner to get past first base.

Siebert has decided on a fairly set lineup for the remainder of the year:

Gary Reierson at first base, Ron Roalstad at second, Steve Schneider at short, Ed

Bruksch will play third, Dave Hoffman in left field, Brosseau in center, and Bob

Fenwick in right, with Mike Sadek behind the plate.

The only shifting Siebert expects will come when Brosseau pitches. 'Then

Dennis Zacho will play first, Hoffman will move to center, and Reierson will play

in left.
