MINNEAPOLIS. - Some 2,500 high school athletes and their coaches from 80

schools will sit in on the University of Minnesota's first Winter Sports Day

Saturday to view four Gopher varsity teams in action.

The response to the special offer of a $1.00 ticket good for all four events

was so overwhelming that athletic ticket manager Shirley Korblick had to put in a

rush order for an extra 500. These were exhausted early this week and the sale

of the special tickets terminated. None will be sold at the gate Saturday. Only

the full-priced tickets will be on sale.

Saturday's "four-ring" athletic carnival includes the Minnesota - Kansas State

wrestling dual meet in at 12 noon; the Minnesota - Illinois Navy

Pier gymnastics meet in Cooke Hall at 1:00 p.m.; the Minnesota - Michigan State

hockey game in Williams Arena at 2:00 p.m.; and the Hinnesota - Wisconsin

game in Willia'D.S Arena at 8:00 p.m. The 12:.30 hockey prelim pits Eveleth against

Edina. The basketball prel.imi.nary features the Minnesota frosh in an intra-squad

contest at 6:15.

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota wrestling and gymnastics teams will kick off their 1965 home schedules Saturday afternoon with dual meets against Kansas State and the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle (Navy Pier) respectively. Wrestling gets underway at 12 noon in Williams Arena with gymnastics slated for 1 p.m. in the Cooke Hall gymnasium. The action is part of a full slate of activity scheduled for the UniversityIs "Winter Sports Day." Also on the agenda is an afternoon hockey clash between Minnesota and Michigan State and an evening basketball game featuring the Gophers and Wisconsin. Wally Johnson's wrestlers, fresh from an encouraging runnerup performance at Evanston last weekend, anticipate a tough test against K-State. Johnson expects the 157-pound match between the Gophers' Lee Gross, dei'ending Big Ten champ, and the Wildcats, highly-regarded Rich DeMoss to be the highlight of the meet. Minnesota bested State 16-11 in a meet at Brookings, S.D. last month. Gppher gymnastics coach Ralph Piper warns that Navy Pier has what appears to be a tough squad, paced by Gene Kelber, a fine performer in the floor exercise, Bill

Hall, a talented all-around man, Fran Christensen on the high bar and Kim Nagasawa on the rings. Hall and Minnesota's Bill Eibrink are expected to vie for all-around honors. ### Mailed January 5, 1965 For release upon receipt.

MINNEAPOLIS. -A University of Minnesota swim squad that again promises to

rank among the Big Ten's best will open its home dual meet schedule Friday at 7:30

p.m. when it entertains the University of Oklahoma's defending Big Eight Conference

champions.

The Sooners are perennial swim monarchs of their league, having captured the

championship 10 years consecutively.

Oklahoma Coach Jay Markley will rely heavily on sophomores up from the

outstanding 1964 freshman squad which won 11 of 15 Conference frosh events and

placed 1 - 2 in three of them.

If Coach Bob Mowerson of the Gophers chooses to enter his butterfly ace,

O~pian Wally Richardson, in the 20o-yard event an interesting contest could

develop. Mike Nichols of Oklahoma topped all Big Eight yearlings in this race

last season.

Friday's meet will mark the debut as a Gopher diver of John Ronstad of

Robbinsdale, a transfer from St. Olaf who became eligible with the start of this

winter quarter. Diving coach Ron Jaco sees outstanding potential in Ronstad and

predicts that he could become Minnesota's best man on the boards in the past decade.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Le4gUe-leading Hinnesota returns to the vlestern Collegiate

Hockey Association wars this weekend with a series at \villiams Arena against

improved Michigan State. It will be the first Association action for the Gophers

since early in December and the first of the year for the Spartans.

Something new in scheduling will be on tap for the Saturday game which will be

an afternoon affair, starting at 2:00, w:i.th a preliminary featuring Eveleth and

Edina set for 12:)0. Friday's slate will follow the usual time formula: a prelim

between Minneapolis Southwest and Alexander Ramsey at 6:30 and the varsity game

at 8:00.

Minnesota (3-1) has a half-game edge in the WOO on second-place Michigan,

Ilichigan Tech and North Dakota (all 2-2). Denver has a 1-1 record.

The Gophers also boast eight of the top nine scorers in viCRA play. Gary Hokanson

leads the way with nine points on six goals and three assists. Roy Nystrom is

runnerup with eight. Nystrom has tied Hokanson for the team lead in scoring for

the season With 17 points. Doug \voog is the top goal-scorer, however with 11 and

is only one behind the leaders.

Coach John ~~ucci was pleased with the sudden surge (six goals, 10 assists)

by the line of Lorne Grosso, wings Craig FaJ lanan and Nystrom in last

weekend's pair of wins over Wisconsin. Nystrom led all scorers in that series with

four goals and three assists. This veteran line had been the cause of some concern

this season after pacing the team a year ago.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota basketball squad jumps into the

already boiling Big Ten championship cauldron when it hosts Wisconsin in Williams

Arena here Saturday night. The 6:15 preliminary will feature the Minnesota

freshmen in an intra-squad game.

The Badgers, victims of Illinois and Iowa in Conference games, pit a 6-5

record against ~tU!nesota's 8-2 mark compiled against non-conference foes.

Considered a prime contender for the title before kicking away games to UCLA

and Iowa in the Los Angeles Classic last week, the chastened Gophers enter into

the Conference scramble as "Just one of several with a chance for the championship"

according to Coach . He believes that Indiana, Illinois" and Michigan

are "the teams to beat." Comments Kundla of his Gophers, '!\tIe will have to make

steady improvement and play up to our potential all the way to be in it with these

teams. We have shown some real good basketball, and some bad basketball so far

this season. In other words, we have been inconsistent. We looked great in going

ahead of UCLA's defending NCAA champions 26-17, but then we let up, lost our poise,

and began making all kinds of mistakes. These killed us."

Kundla contemplates no lineup changes for the Conference opener with the

Badgers. (6-5) and Dennis Dvoracek (6-6) will be at the forwards;

Captain Mel Northway (6-8) at center; and Archie Clark (6-l~) and Don Yates (6-2!)

at the guards.

In practices this week Kundla is making a concentrated effort to upgrade the Minnesota bench by bringU1g along Paul Presthus" 6-5 sophomore forward; Wes Martins, 5-11 junior guard; and Dave Nelson, 6-1 senior guard..

Minnesota's le-game statistics show Lou Hudson far in front in individual scoring with a 21.1 per-game average and Northway well ahead in rebounding with 135. Hudson is shooting field goals at a .520 clip. The statistics: ~- -~ ------,. I 1964-65 I·; UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Basketball Statistics (ten games)

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Balanced scoring and speed are the principal ingredients of

the Michigan State hockey team which invades Williams Arena this weekend for a

series with Minnesota. The Spartans hope this combination will enable them to

move upward in the WCHA race after finishing on the bottom a year ago.

It is a combination Which bothers Gopher coach who was not

exactly enthralled with his team's performance against \'lisconsin last weekend,

despite a pair of victories. '~le 've got to improve our defense if we plan to

beat State," he warns.

This weekend's play finds the Gophers and Spartans meeting at 8 p.m. Friday

and 2 p.m. Saturday. A sweep for Minnesota would keep the locals in first place

in the WCHA.

Coach Amo Bessone's Spartans concluded their pre-Association slate last

weekend with a double loss in the Brown Tournament. They stand 6-3 for the season

and own a pair of victories over the same Wisconsin team which Minnesota defeated.

''We've had the most balanced scoring I can recall in a long time, If says

Bessone. "We have three lines doing good work, and the boys are skating faster

than in recent seasons."

State's leading scorers are Doug Roberts with 20 points, Mike Jacobson 19,

Gary Goble 15, :Hike Coppo and Brian McAndrew 13 each, and Doug Volmar 12.

Minneapolis Southwest and Alexander Ramsey provide the preliminary action

Friday at 6:30 and Eveleth and Edina do the honors Saturday, starting at 12:30.

"Tbe Gopbers"

The University of Minnesota's new diving coach as of September 16, 196; will be Robert David Webster, one of the world's premier amateur springboard performers.

His appointment to become effective on the above date was approved at Friday's

meeting of The University's Board of Regents. Webster, a 1962 graduate of the University ot Michigan with a bachelor'S degree

in Education, is currently in the U. S. A.rmy, but is due for discharge in July.

At Minnesota he will succeed Ron Jaco as diving coach and will teach physical education classes. Jaco is leaving at the end of the current school year to enter

business in the East.

Webster who is a native Californian resides in Santa Ana, California, a hotbed

of swimming and diving. He won the gold medal for platform diving in the 1960

Olympic Games at Rome, and repeated this year at Tokyo to establish himself as one

of the all-time springboard greats.

Athletic Director Marsh ~ who recommended Webster's appointment

enthusiastically praises the new appointee as "A tremendous addition to our coaching

and teaching staff's. He is not only highly qualified, but a fine gentleman who

made an excellent impression on Rich Donnelly, physical education director, and

myself when we interviewed him. II ------

MINNEAPOLIS. - No longer sole occupant of first place in the Western

Collegiate Hockey Association, the University of Minnesota defends its share of

the top spot against Michigan Tech, possibly its toughest foe to date, Friday

and Saturday at Williams Arena, starting at 8 p.m.

Minneapolis Washburn and St. Paul Cretin provide the 6:30 preJ.:iminary action

Friday, with Mounds View and Bloomington clashing at the same time Saturday.

"Tech is tough, real tough," warns Gopher coach John Mariucci. "They're

loaded with sophomores, but they're good ones." The Huskies, who took a pair from

UMD by 4-2 and 5-4 scores over the weekend, stand 2-2 in WOO play. They have traded

series sweeps with North Dakota. Overall, they have won 10 and lost only two.

Mariucci was disappointed with last weekend's split with underdog Michigan

State. "I'm still sick about Friday's loss," he confesses. "I'm afraid we'll rue

that day all season.. " The defeat, coupled with North Dakota's sweep of Michigan

enabled the Sioux to tie the Gophers for first. Tech and Denver (1-1) share third

place.

On the positive side, "Maroosh" thought the Gopher defense showed signs of

coming around against the Spartans. He was encouraged especia.lly by the play of

Dick Haigh and Jim Branch, the No. 1 blueline combination.

He also had praise for the work of the junior line of , Bruce Larson

and Gary Hokanson and expressed satisfaction with the improvement of seniors Craig

Falkman and Roy Nystrom.

Woog tied Hokanson tor the team's scoring leadership over the weekend with

20 points. He also leads in goals with 10.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota's basketball Gophers will get a

pretty fair idea of their destiny in the chaotic young basketball

race when they invade the awesome confines of Illinois' Assembly Hall SaturdcV' night.

A win would return to the Gophers some of the stature they lost in bowing to

Iowa and UCLA in the recent Los Angeles Classic. Historica.l1y Minnesota basketball teams have experienced extreme difficulty

in taking decisions at Champaign - Urbana. In tact, no member of the present squad has enjoyed the experience. The trick was last turned 85-76 in 1961 when Dick

Erickson, Jim Gilbertson, Tom McGrann" Cal Sabatini, and Bob Griggas were starters.

This win avenged an earlier 65 - 60 Illinois triumph in Williams Arena. In the single meeting of the 1961-62 campaign the Illini prevailed 89 - 80 at Champaign.

The teams traded victories on home courts in 1963-64 atter the Illini had captured

the single 1962-63 encounter, 81 - 70, in Williams Arena. Saturday's engagement promises to be a case of "fighting fire with fire" for

both teams like to turn on the pell-mell fast break and go for the close-in scoring

break. Because of the physical wear-and-tear involved in this style of plcV', the

short-handed Gophers will find themselves at a disadvantage. Illinois' deeper and stronger bench could very well become the decisive factor. Minnesota's John Kundla

is making every effort in practice this week to bring along his reserves. So far

only three - guards Dave Nelson and Wee Martins, and front-liner Jim Presthus - "figure in the picture." Their adequacy as Big Ten performers remains a question

mark in the Minnesota basketball picture. Lates ll-game statistics show four Gophers with a scoring average in double figures. They are Lou Hudson (20.7), Don Yates (13.6), Archie Clark (12.7), and Mel Northway (12.0). The statistics: ------,

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - '!here is a feeling abroad in the Western Collegiate Hockey

Association this winter that Michigan Tech's sophomore-studded team will be hard to

beat. Minnesota will find out just how tough Friday and Saturday at Williams Arena.

Games start at 8:00 both nights.

Tech coach John MacInnes admits that he is pleased with the way his squad has

come along. His pleasure stems from the fact that the Husldes have won 10 out of 12

games overall, best mark compiled by any Association team. As for WCHA competition,

the Huskies have split four starts, all with North Dakota, co-leader along with

Minnesota.

Gopher mentor John Mariucci feels that the Huskies should provide the strongest

competition his squad has faced to date. He points out that although there are 14

sophs on the Tech roster, they all have strong hockey backgrounds and boast some

impressive tools.

Among the most prominent of the Tech newcomers are two fine goalies, Tony

Esposito and Rick Best, who have divided net chores evenly this winter. It is

possible that MacInnes may designate one of them to start both games against the

Gophers, but he has not committed himself as yet. Esposito currently shares the

WCHA lead with Denver's Rudy Blom on a 2.0 average for goals scored against him.

Among the other top sophs are forwards WS\YIle Weller, Colin Patterson and Gary

Milroy who number among Tech I s leading scorers and defensemen Bruce Riutta and

Denni.s Huculak who have shown great promise.

There are some talented veterans on hand, too, including Capt. Al Holm, and

Roy Heino, centers, vings Ricky Yeo and Fred Dart and defensernen Terry Ryan and

Pete Leiman. Mailed January 15, 1965

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota hockey team this weekend embarks on its second road trip of the Western Collegiate Hockey Asaociation season. Its destination: East Lansing. Its foe: Michigan State. Its intention: A series sweep.

''We need a sweep to stay in contention and to put us in good shape for our

series with North Dakota next week, II explains Gopher coach John Martucci. The

Sioux are leading the WCHA with a 6-2 record and are idle this weekend.. Minnesota

is 5-3 and a sweep over Michigan State would mean that the Association lead would be squarely on the line in the Nodak series.

If they are to win two from the Spartans, the Gophers will have to shake the

Friday night jinx which has plagued them this season. Thus far, they definitely

have been a Saturday team. They have won only once on Friday (by one point over

Colorado College), while losing three times, but have swept all four Saturday tilts.

State is one of the teams which owns a Friday-night victory over Minnesota,

winning 4-3 at Williams Arena two weeks ago but losing the Saturday contest 5-2.

Mariucci is still haunted by the memory of that Spartan victory which came despite

a withering Gopher assault on MSU goalie Jerry Fisher.

Doug Woog has taken over the undisputed Minnesota team scoring leadership with

24 points, displacing Gary Hokanson who has dropped to second with 23. Hokanson

still paces WCHA scoring, however, with 15 points, one ahead of North Dakota t s

Gerry Kell and two in front of Woog. The statistics: - -- _ ...------

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. The University of Minnesota indoor track, swilmning and gymnastics

teams all will be in action at home Saturday afternoon with some top-notch competition

on the menu.

Bob l-Icwerson' s swimmers will compete in their first dual meet of the season

against powerful Ohio State in the Cooke Hall pool at 2:00. The Buckeyes are rated

even better than last year I s team which finished third in the Big Ten and sixth

nationally. They boast an outstanding newcomer in Bob Hopper who figures to surpass

Ohio's two-time NCAA individual medley champ, Marty Mull.

The Gophers will present a team which again figures to be among the best in the

Big Ten. Its chief threats are OJ.3mpian Wally Richardson in the butterfly and

Capt. Mike Stauffer in the freestyle sprints.

Roy Griak will unveil his indoor track squad in intercollegiate competition for

the first time this winter against an improved Iowa State squad in the Field House..

Field events get underway at 1:30 and running events at 2:00. Griak is hopeful that

his sophomore-studded squad will be able to finish in the Big Ten's first division

and expects Saturday's meet to give a good early line on how strong the Gophers

figure to be. Among the Gopher newcomers will be six members of last falls's Big Ten .' champion cross country team. Another member of that squad who will compete is Norris

Peterson, Conference indoor two-mile titlist a year ago.

The Gopher gymnasts, under the direction of veteran coach Ralph Piper, host Michigan State and Iowa State in a triple dual meet in the Cooke Hall gymnasium, starting at 2:00. Both the Spartans and Cyclones are tough, according to Piper. MSU will be led by last year's Big Ten champion all-around man, Bob Curzi who also ranked third in the NCAA. The Gopher-Spartan meet will count in the Big Ten team starrlings since the Conference has decided to determine the team champion on the basis of dual meets this winter. The Conference meet will decide individual champs only. State is 0-1 in conference action, while the Gophers will be making their first Big Ten start. ### UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Ohio State's "from riches to rags" basketball team" for five

years king or eo-ruler of Big Ten basketball, comes to the University of Minnesota's

Williams Arena Saturday night in the unfamiliar role of tail-ender as the Gophers go

against the Buckeyes shooting for a 2-1 mark in League play.

Interest in the game is mounting steadily and an attendance high for the season ­

15,000 - is predicted. Winona and Mounds View high schools tangle in the attractive

6:15 preliminary game. Both teams rate high in their respective conferences. "Ohio State may be tied for last place now on its °- 2 record, but remember the Buckeyes still are the champs until somebody takes the title away from them," warns

Dan Spika, Minnesota's assistant coach and chief scout. "They don't have a

or a around, but they still have some fine personnel" cautions Spika,

continuing "they haven't started to really click so far, but they can be a spoiler

when they do. I only hope they don't start their comeback Saturday night."

Coach Fred Taylor has built the current Buckeye combination around Captain Dick

Ricketts, a two-year regular at guard on championship teams and one of the nation's

better back-court men. The 6-1 Ricketts is a "do everything" player - an excellent

feeder and play-maker and also a fine shot from the field. His 1963-64

percentage was .502, an exceptional accomplishment for a guard doing most of his

gunning from Gutside. He was in double figures in 20 Ohio State's 24 games last

season and pumped in 24 points as the Buckeyes topped Indiana 98-96 in a key game. Most interesting newcomer in the Ohio lineup is Ron Sepic, 6-4, 208-pound sophomore forward who teamed for two years with Minnesota's Don Yates at Uniontown, PennsylVania high school. Sepic was a prep All American. Despite his disappointment over the team's ragged play in losing to Illinois, Coach John Kundla plans no changes in the Minnesota lineup. Wes Martins, 5-11 junior guard from Moorhead is certain to see extended duty at guard in relief of Yates and Archie Clark.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Things will be hunming on the University of Minnesota's home

athletic scene this weekend. In addition to the Gophers hockey team's crucial series

with North Dakota, four other winter sports teams will be in action.

Wally Johnson's wrestlers get things off to an early start with a dual meet

at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Williams Arena against Nebraska. Then, on Saturday, the

action will rea.lJ.y be hot and heavy. The Gopher swimming team entertains Iowa State

in the Cooke Hall Pool at 2 p.m.; the gymnastics squad hosts national power Southern

Illinois, also at 2:00 in the Cooke Hall gymnasium; and the track team seeks its

second straight win in a dual meet. against Northwestern in the Field House. Field

events start at 1:30 with running events to get underway at 2:00. Johnson confesses that he doesn't know exactly what to expect from Nebraska's grapplers but expresses satisfaction withthe progress of his own team which shut out

State College of Iowa last Friday.

Bob Mowerson, coach of Minnesota's swimming team, warns that Iowa State has a

strong squad and is not to be taken lightly despite the Gophers I easy triumph a year

ago. The Cyclones have some outstanding boys in backstroker Neil Armstrong,

freestylers Dan McQuillen and John Moreland and diver Wayne Oras, as well as two

first-rate rew teams. Mowerson was somewhat disappointed with the Gophers I 65-40 loss to Ohio State last weekend but was encouraged by the fact that the meet was

much closer than the score would indicate.

Southern Illinois will provide probably the toughest test Ralph Piper I s

gymnasts have encountered yet. National champs two years ago and runnerups last

winter, the "Salukis" are considered somewhat weaker this season but still were _._------

strong enough to defeat Iowa State by seven points. The Cyclones, it will be remembered thrashed the Gophers here last Saturday. Bill Wolf, an outstanding all-around man leads Southern Illinois.

Buoyed by a good w.i.nn:i.ng performance against Iowa State last weekend, Roy

Griak's track team faces its first Big Ten foe of the indoor season in Northwestern.

The Wildcats are led by several outstanding men, including Greg Boydston who placed fourth in the pole vault in the Big Ten outdoor meet a year ago, Lee

Assenheimer, Big Ten cross country champ, Willie Collins in the low hurdles and

Jim Harris, a fourth-place finisher in the Big Ten 660 outdoors last spring.

Northwestern defeated the University of Chicago 61-52 last Saturday.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - First place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association is on

the line at Williams Arena this weekend when a war party of Sioux. from league-

leading North Dakota takes to the ice for a showdown with Minnesota's second-place

Gophers. Games start at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The Sioux. (6-2) were idle last weekend because of semester exams while the

Gophers (6-4) were salvaging a split with Michigan State at East Lansing. The

latter came by virtue of an unbelievable finish Saturday night which found

Minnesota scoring four goals in the last four minutes to win 6-5. The Spartans won the opener 7-5. Gopher coach John Mariucci, still a bit stunned by the wild finish, allows

that the victory was a lifesaver: lilt kept us in the race and gives us a chance

to take over the top again this weekend. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't

seen it with my own eyes."

If' Minnesota can sweep both games from North Dakota, it will vault into the

driver's seat in the WCHA race with an 8-4 record, compared to North Dakota's 6-4.

A split would not stifle the Gophers' title hopes but would certainly reduce their

chances considerably.

Center Doug Woog leads both the Gophers and the WCHA in scoring. He has 29

points for the season and 18 in the Association. Teammate Gary Hokanson is his

nearest competitor in both departments with 25 for the season and 17 in WCHA play.

"The Gophers"

l'1lNKEAPOLIS. - Coach John Kundla and the University of Minnesota basketball team

will enjoy a weekend away from Big Ten warfare as they draw an open date Saturday,

but this doesn't mean that the Gophers won't be busy.

Kundla is not at all satisfied with the play of his charges to date, despite

consecutive victories against Ohio State and Purdue. "I still have nightmarish

memories of the way we booted away the Illinois game," says John. ''We caught them

on a cold night, which is about the only chance you have of beating the Illini on

their home court, but we blew our chances. Just way too many mistakes and errors."

Looking forward to next Tuesday's encounter with Northwestern in Williams Arena

Kundla feels that a repetition of the Illinois performance could be disastrous.

Consequently, the Gophers are undergoing one of their most strenuous weeks of

practice and will not enjoy the luxury of a day off on Saturday. To the contrary,

it will be a day of intensive preparation with emphasis on girding to meet the

explosive, hot-and-cold Wildcats who have been coming on rapidly in recent weeks.

The seven days away from the rugged give-and-take of Big Ten competition will be

especi~ welcome to Dennis Dvoracek, the eager-beaver 6-6 junior forward whose

reckless on-court antics are conclusive to acquiring bruises, bumps, sprains, floor

burns, and other assorted afflictions. Hockey coach John Mariucci has facetiously

gone so far as to offer to loan a Minnesota hockey outfit to Kundla for Dvoracek's

protection. Denny apparently thrives on adversity, however. Supposedly a virtual

cripple before the Ohio State game, he delivered 18 points and 9 rebounds against the

Buckeyes to come into his own as a Big Ten caliber player, and came up wi..th 13 points in Monday night IS 85-81 conquest of Purdue. Minnesota's latest statistics reveal a well-balanced scoring punch with Lou Hudson averaging 20.4 points; Don Yates, 13.6; Archie Clark, 13.2; and Mel Northway 12.9. If fifth-man Dvoracek can maintain his scoring pace of the Ohio State and Illinois games he will soon join the two-figure circle. He is currently at 9.1. The statistics for 14 games; ------

"The Gophers"

The jurisdictional dispute between the Amateur Athletic Union of the United

States (AAU) and the U.S. Track and Field Federation has its impact on track and

field activities in the State of Minnesota.

On February 6, 1965, there wi.ll be an "Infonnal All-Comers Track and Field

Practice" starting at 9 a.m. in the indoor sports building of the University. This

practice will be held in lieu of the ''Northwest Open" track meet originally scheduled

for that date, which has been cancelled. The schedule and events which would.

normally hold for an "Open" meet will govern the track and field practice. However,

there will be no sooring of points for team participation. Times and distances

achieved by participants will be unofficial and will not be recognized as records.

There will be no admission charge.

As constituent of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Big

Ten Conferenoe, the University of Minnesota is now obligated to request sanctioning

of any "Open" meet which it sponsors from the U.S. Track and Field Federation. To

avoid jeopardy to future eligibility of all participants for AAU events and for

international competition, sanctioning of the ''Northwest Open" scheduled for

February 6, was also requested from the Minnesota Association of the AAU. This

request was not granted, however, in accord with the policy of the parent bodT

of the Minnesota Association which holds that it has sole authority to approve

"Open" competition in the United States and that it will not approve meets which

have been sanctioned by another body.

In previous years, the ''Northwest Open 11 meet has attracted large munbers of

------_._------' participants from neighboring areas -- collegians and others. In keeping with its tradition of encouragement and support of the development of wholesome athletic activities among young people, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics of the University will make its facilities available on February 6, and arrange for the track and field practice referred to above. The University regrets that it was necessary to cancel the "Northwest Open. II It is hoped, however, that a large number of athletes from this area will participate in the practice.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - North Dakota, the University of Minnesota's opponent this

weekend, is not only leading the Western Collegiate Hockey Association but is

expected to continue to do so, according to the consensus of teams which have

already played the Sioux this year.

"Everyone says the same thing," Gopher coach John Mariucci points out.

"They're the team to beat."

Minnesota fans will get two chances to see just how good they are when the

Sioux meet the Gophers at Williams Arena Friday and Saturday nights, starting at

8:00.

North Dakota, under the direction of coaching newcomer Bob Peters, has a

well-balanced team which features solid goaltending from veteran Joe Lech, good

scoring punch and a strong defense. Poised and well-disciplined, the Sioux skate

hard and like to forecheck.

With six straight wins to their credit after a pair of opening defeats at

Michigan Tech, the Sioux have picked up the nickname "Scalpers from up North. II

Among the scalps they have taken are those of Michigan Tech (in a rematch at Grand

Forks), Michigan and Denver, the pre-season pick for theWCHA crown. All three

victims were beaten twice. The Sioux are 13-3 for the season.

Lech is having his best year in the nets. He has a 2.81 goals against average

in 16 games and ranks second in the WCHA with a 2.9 average. His 225 stops in

Association play are second only to Gopher John Lothrop's 315.

Gerry Kell leads Dakota scoring with 32 points on 12 goals and 20 assists.

He ranks third in the Association with 14 points, behind Minnesota's Doug Woog and Gary Hokanson. Other top Sioux scalpers are sophomore Dennis Hextall (29 points), senior forwards Dave Mazur (21) and Terry Casey (20) and Capt. Don Ross (19). Ross is the leading defenseman and was a member of the 1964 U.S. Olympic team.

Preliminary games this weekend will feature Minneapolis Roosevelt vs.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota hockey team seeks to even its

season series with UMD this weekend when the pesky Bulldogs take on the Gophers

in Williams Arena. Face-off time both Friday and Saturday is 8 p.rn.

UMD defeated the Gophers 6-5 at Duluth earJ,sr in December and holds a 4-1 edge in the last five games between the state rivals. The Bulldogs whipped the Gophers

three out of four times last year to take the Taconite Hockey Trophy, symbolic of

collegiate hockey supremacy in Minnesota. The overall series standings is 6-4-1 for the Gophers.

Coach John Mariucci was disappointed by Minnesota's double loss to North

Dakota's WCHA-leading Sioux last weekend but feels that his team played good hockey, good enough to win most series.

"The1:r goalie (Joe Lech) was fabulous," Mariucci declares. ''He is one of the

best I've seen at catching the puck with his glove. He trapped so many shots this way that we weren't able to get nearly as many rebounds as usual." Mariucci warns that UMD will be tough. He points to the earlier loss to the Bulldogs and the fact that they have been extremely dangerous against WCHA foes this

season, despite a not overly impressive won-loss record (9-9-1). Minnesota now

stands 8-9-0 for the year and is fourth in the Association with a 6-6-0 mark.

Doug \'/oog continues to lead both the Gophers and the WCHA in scoring. He has

16 goals and 15 assists for 31 points overall and has 20 points in Association play.

Teammate Gary Hokanson is rwmerup in both departments with 27 and 20 points respectively. The Gopher freshman squad supplies the prelimi.nary action Friday with an intra-squad battIe. Benilde and Blake square off in the Saturday prelude. Both tilts start at 6:30. ### 1964-65 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA HOCKEY STATISTICS (Seventeen Games)

MnmEAPOLIS. - Bob Mowerson l s University of Minnesota swiJmning team heads into

its toughest dual meet weekend of the season when it invades the home waters of

Michigan State Friday and Michigan Saturday.

1-'Iowerson is not optimistic. ''Michigan has as good a dual meet team as I've

ever seen~" he points out. "They don't have a real waakness. I'd say they have a

good chance of dethroning Indiana as Big Ten champ. Michigan State is strong, too.

We'll need every possible break to beat State. I don't see how we can hope to

beat Michigan. "

The Wolverines, runnerup in the Big Ten a year ago, have two former Olympic

swimmers - Carl Robie who placed second in the butterfly and Bill Farley who

competed in the distance freestyle. Other tremendous swimmers are Bill Groft and

Bob Hoag in the freestyle sprints) AAU champ Ed Bartsch and Russ Kingery in the

backstroke and Paul Scheerer in the breaststroke.

Among State's leading point-getters are Capt. Dick Gretzinger in the individual

medley, Gary Dilley, Olympic runnerup in the backstroke, Ken Walsh in the distance

freestyle, Jim MacMillan and Darryle Kifer in the freestyle sprints and Terry Hagan

in the butterfly.

Michigan defeated State 63! - 41i in a dual meet earlier this season. The Gophers boast two undefeated swimmers - Capt. Mike Stauffer in the 50 and

100 yard freestyle and Wally Richardson in the 200 yard butterfly.

MnmEAroLIS. - It will be a busy weekend for the University of Minnesota

wrestling team which hosts Cornell University (of Ithaca, N.Y.) in a dual meet

Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Indiana, l-Iichigan State and Mankato State in a quadrangular

Saturday at 2 p.m. Both meets will be held at Williams Arena.

Cornell is one of the powers of the East, winning the Ivy League title seven

of the last nine years. It stands 3-0 in league play this season but only 4-5 overall.

Gopher coach Wally Johnson rates Michigan State and Indiana as two of the top

four in the Big Ten. He considers the Spartans the second best team in the Conference,

behind defending champion Michigan. The Gophers finished second to State in a

quadrangular meet earlier in the season and defeated the Hoosiers 15-9 in a dual meet.

Johnson warns that the Indiana score is deceptive since the Hoosiers wrestled

without their ace, Big Ten 177-pound champ Dick Isel. Indiana also boasts an

outstanding heavyweight in Dave Conaway.

Pacing the Spartans are three undefeated wrestlers - Don Behm at 130, Dick

Cook at 147 and Jeff Richardson, heavyweight.

Mankato State is led by Capt. Howard Gangestad who was NCAA runnerup at 123

pounds last year. To date, the Indians have won 6 and lost 3. All three losses,

however, were at the hands of national powers -- Oklahoma, Iowa State and Colorado.

The Gophers boast three undefeated wrestlers in defending 157-pound Big Ten

champ Lee Gross, 167-pounder John Klein and sophomore Ron Ankeny at 147 pounds,

They are 7-1 in dual meet competition. ### Mailed Februar,y 3, 1965 For release upon receipt.

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota gynmastics team takes on one of the

nation t S foremost powers Saturday when Michigan I s defending Big Ten champs and NCAA

runnerups invade Cooke Hall, along with Illinois, for a pair of dual meets. The

action starts at 2 p.m.

'!he Wolverines, who are favorites to repeat for a fifth straight Big Ten title,

are paced by Gary Erwin, World and NCAA trampoline champ. Erwin and teammates

John Hamilton and Fred Sanders placed 1-2-3 nation~ in the trampoline a year ago,

while Hamilton and Erwin tied for the Big Ten crown. Erwin captured the world title

in London last weekend.

Other top point-scorers include Mike Henderson, Big Ten champ in ttunbling in

1964, and Alex Frecska who placed fifth in the Conference all-around last winter.

Henderson now specialized in the floor exercise since tumbling has has been

discontinued.

Illinois, though considerably weaker than in its great era of 1950-60 when it

won II straight Conference titles, still has some dangerous competitors in Victor

Sanchez, fourth in the Big Ten long horse last year, and John Eliason, runnerup in

the '64 Conference side horse. Gopher coach Ralph Piper concedes that Michigan, which defeated Illinois 75.5 - 40.5 last week, has too much power for the Gophers, but feels that his team could

defeat the Illini. He expects Bill Eibrink to challenge Sanchez for all-around honors. #H# , J 4 For Release upon receipt. Mailed February 3, 1965

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - When the University of Minnesota hockey team takes time off tram the WCHA wars this weekend to entertain "backyard" rival UMD, it will be facing a

team which is far better than its 9-9-1 record would indicate. The teams meet Friday and Saturday in Williams Arena, starting at 8 p.m.

'We've had so many close games, it's hard to pick out the most heartbreaking

loss," says Bulldog coach Ralph Romano. "Only one of our nine defeats was decisive.

That was a 6-3 loss to Michigan Tech and we plaYed that one atter getting baok

from the BPI tourney at 3 a.m."

To document Romano's words, the Bulldogs have sutfered losses to North Dakota

5-4 and 6-5, the latter in overtime; Michigan Teoh 6-3, 5-4, 4-3 and 4-2; Michigan

6-5 in overtime and 4-2 and Michigan State 5-4 in overtime. Romano rates the 4-2 loss to Tech as UMD' s best game of the season, and Michigan soored the final goal in its 4-2 victory in an open net with seven seconds left. "While these olose defeats have been disappointing, we're not discouraged, II

Romano insists. III think we've proved we belong in this type of competition. We

expect a great series with the Gophers." There have been some bright spots, too. ~ them was the 6-5 win over the Gophers at Duluth. The Bulldogs also swept series from Colorado College and Port Arthur and defeated Michigan State 7-1 last Saturday as well as winning all three

of its starts in the BPI tournament.

"I don't think there is a finer or more exciting line offensively than our trio of , Mike Tok and Pat Francisco," Romano declares. This

oombination has paced their scoring all season. r /

The No. 2 line features Owen Rogers, Terry Shercliffe and Bob Bell. Rogers,

considered the finest defensive forward ever to play for the Bulldogs, also has

developed into a scoring threat. Three Duluthians -- Bill McGiffert, Dick Maertz

and Dave Stepnes make up the third unit.

The Bulldogs had expected defense to be their greatest strength this season,

but were dealt a severe blow when veteran Bob Lund left the squad to join the U.S.

Nationals. As a result, there are only three regular defensemen available -­

seniors Dick Fisher and Marv Zilkie, along with junior Bob Hill.

In the goal, Bill Halbrehder is back for his fourth year, backed up by Ron

Hill. The two likely will alternate in the Gophers series.

The preliminary menu features a Gopher freshman intra-squad game Friday and

Blake vs. Benilde Saturday, both at 6:30.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. -A victory-hungry Michigan State basketball team that sounded

a warning to future foes by pressing front-running Michigan into overtime recently

is the next order of business for Minnesota's title aspirants Saturday afternoon

at East Lansing.

This game is a "must" for Coach John Kundla and the Gophers who are knotted

with Iowa for second place in the Conference standings on 4 - 1 records. Kundla

knows better than to take the 0 - S Spartans lightly, particularly on their home

floor where Minnesota historically encounters difficulty in playing up to its

ability.

The Gophers should be mentally prepared for the encounter at East Lansing

after their close call at the hands of Northwestern Tuesday night when a three-point

burst by Archie Clark in the final seconds was needed to subdue the underdog

Wildcats.

Reserve.strength continues to pose a big problem for Coach Kundla. Against

Northwestern Wes Martins, No.1 guard replacement, was blanked on scoring and

rebounds. Paul Presthus, the former high school All American from Rugby, North

Dakota and "third" forward for the Gophers, produced only three points and as many

rebounds in extended duty. Inasmuch as the fast-break is Minnesota's most effective

mode of attack, considerable demand is placed on the stamina of the starters and

bench help is imperative if the fire-house offense is to operate efficiently for the game's duration.

Minnesota's ''balanced'' scoring finds four players in double figures. They are Lou Hudson, 19.9 average; Archie Clark, 13.5; Mel Northway, 13.2; and Don Yates, 13.

"The Gophers"

lUNNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota basketball forces are on a crash course

with old nemesis Illinois this week, and out of the shambles of Saturday afternoonf s

3:30 p.m. collision in Williams Arena the survivor will emerge a prime contender

for the hotly-contested Big Ten title.

The 5 - 1 second place Gophers, still smarting from the 7'). - 72 decision they

feel they ''booted'' away January 16 at Champaign for their only loss to date in

Conference play, have one thought uppermost in their minds this week as they prepare

for the Illini onslaught - REVENGE!

Despite some shaky moments and ragged play in recent wins over Northwestern and

Michigan State, the Gophers themselves are convinced that they are a better team

than the one that bowed to Illinois earlier. Coach John Kundla concurs. Says

John, "The rest of the team has made progress, but the big difference will be

Dennis Dvoracek who is coming on fast. Denny contributed only two points at

Champaign. Since then he has scored 18 against Ohio State, and 13 each against

Purdue, Northwestern, and Michigan State. And he is also rebounding better to give

us a big lift on the boards."

Much of Minnesota's preparation for the Illinois engagement is being devoted

to defensive measures to cope with t he axpJ.osive Illini who Saturday blasted Purdue 121 - 93 to come within one point of Indiana's all-time Big Ten record of 122

points. Shy as they are in bench strength, the Gophers are goiq to have to slow

the Illini without fouling out. And this could be a LARGE order. An attractive preliminary game at 1:45 Saturday pits the E.S.A. Greyhounds, 1964 Minnesota intramural All University champions, against the Gopher freshmen. The contest has been designated as the annual "Photograph and Autograph Day." The Hinnesota players and coaches will remain on the floor after the game to pose for photographs and sign autographs for the fans. Special reduced rate reserved and general admission tickets for the game available to children under 16. Lou Hudson's 32 point outburst against Michigan State Saturday raised his season's scoring average to 20.6 points per game.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Its Friday night jinx finally laid to rest, the University e£

Minnesota hockey team heads for the Pike's peak area this weekend and its second

series of the campaign with Colorado College, currently occupying the Western

Collegiate Hockey Association cellar. The teams tangle Frid~ and Saturday nights

in the shadow of the fabled mountain.

The Gophers did in their jinx good and proper last Friday as they exploded for

seven goals in the last two periods to whip UMD 9-3. The triumph was the first

Friday win for the Gophers since January 1. They followed with a 5-2 victory Saturday

to take a 6-1 lead over the Bulldogs in the annual battle for the Taconite Trophy.

Minnesota swept the first series wi.th the Tigers at Williams Arena back in late

November and needs another to strengthen its bid for a playoff spot. At present, the Gophers (6-6-0) are in fourth place, behind North Dakota (8-3-0), Michigan Tech

(7-4-1) and Michigan State (5-4-0). Michigan (6-7-0) trails Minnesota by a halt game.

The Tigers ran afoul of Tech last weekend, dropping a pair by scores of 3-1 and

10-1. They have a 2-8-0 record in Association play and are 7-12-0 for the season.

Their attack is led by Bob Magie with 17 goals and 8 assists for 25 points and

Warren Fordyce with 7 goals, 14 assists and 21 points. Magie scored the hat trick against the Gophers in the first series.

Minnesota coach John MariucCi isn't taking the Huskies lightly, "They gave us a

real battle here and we expect an even tougher series out there," he explains. ''Don't forget they took two from us at the Sp1tings last year." Doug WOQg held on to his team scoring leadership over the weekend but dropped to second in Association play, behind Michigan's Mel Wakabayashi. He now has 34 points for the season on"18 goals and 16 assists. Gary Hokanson remains the runnerup with 30 points. It was Larry Stordahl who put on the big scoring against UMD, however, with 2 goals and four assists. The Gophers next home game is against the U.S. Nationals next Monday, February 15.

HINNEAPOLIS. - Five former University of Minnesota hockey players will be on

"the other side" Monday when the Gophers host the U. S. Nationals at Williams Arena,

starting at 8 p.m. Admission is free but voluntary contributions to the U. S.

Olympic Ice Hockey Fund will be accepted.

The lIexpatriate" Gophers are defensemen Larry Alm and Larry Johnson, center

Larry Smith, Wings Herb Brooks and Myron Grafstrom. All five played their collegiate

hockey at l.finnesota in the late fifties or early sixties.

They and 12 teanmates - defensemen Bob Lund and Nick Musat, forwards Bill and

Roger Christian, Paul Coppo, Sam Grafstrom, Tom Roe, Tim Taylor, Dan Storsteen and

two of the four goalies (Rod Blackburn, Tom Haugh, Ted lfarks and Gary McAlpine)

still on the squad - will leave next Thursday for Europe. Before arriving in

Tampere, Finland for the Winter Games, they will play six games in Norway, Sweden

and Finland. The Winter Games get underway March 4 and continue until March 14.

Two goalies will be cut Tuesday. Blackburn, a former University of New

Hampshire star, is expected to start against Minnesota.

As an added attraction Monday, Blake, ltinnesota Independent School League

champions, will battle the state Catholic high school hockey champion in a

preliminary game, starting at 6:30. The contest is being billed as the "state

Catholic-private school championship game" by Gopher coach John Mariucci. The Catholic champ will be crowned Sunday after the finals of the state tournament.

Mariucci expects a tough fight from the Nationals but predicts that his team

will win. Nationals coach Ken Yackel, a former all-American for Mariucci, isn't so sure. '!We'll give the Gophers everything we've got" II he says. '!We're a lot

alike. Both teams can score but are yet to be proven defensively. II Donations '&ill be specifically earmarked for the ice hockey fund and no

other aspect of the U. S. Olympic program. They will be used to help build a

strong U. S. team for the 1968 Olympic Games in Grenoble" France.

The U. S. team slumped to fifth in the 1964 Olympics atter finishing second

in 1952 and J 56 and winning the gold medal in 1960. It is hoped that the

contributions made at Monday's game will help bring American Olympic hockey back toward the top.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Those ancient riVals, Minnesota and Michigan, tangle in a

crucial WCHA hockey series for both teams FridB3" and Saturday at Williams Arena..

The outcome could have a great deal to do with their respective playoff hopes.

Game time both nights is 8:00.

The Gophers split in their first series with the Wolverines at Ann Arbor,

losing the opener 7 - 6 but running away with the finale 10 - 3. At present, the two teams are closely bracketed with Michigan State and Michigan Tech in the race

for playoff spots behind league-leading North Dakota. A sweep for either team would

greatly enhance its prospects of finishing in the top four.

Minnesota coach John Mariucci was elated with his team's twin killing out at

Colorado Springs last weekend. ''We're going all the way now, II he said. The

veteran Go{i1er mentor did not clarify this orac1Jlar statement, but the glint in his

eye indicated that he feels the Gophers will make the p1B3"offs and do rather well

in them.

Mariucci isn't oblivious to the dangers which lie in wait this weekend.

''Michigan is going to give us all we want," he explains. "They're tough and they

want a playoff spot, too. We expect a real tight series."

Larry Stordahl, who has been improving steadily of late after a slow start

exploded for five goals and four assists in his last three starts, including a

four-goal effort in the second victory over the Tigers last SaturdB3". His

performance hoisted him into a tie for fifth place in Gopher scoring with 25 points.

Doug Woog regained the WOO scoring leadership over the weekend and extended his lead in team scoring. He has 23 points in WCHA play, just two ahead of Michigan I s Mel Wakabayashi, and 40 points for the season. The Gopher freshman team will provide the preJ.im.ina.ry game action this weekend, starting at 6:30 both nights. I' I

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota's surprising wrestling team entertains Arrrr:!, Purdue

and Illinois in a triple dual meet at Williams Arena Saturday, starting at 2 p.m.

Army is ranked sixth in the nation.

In the only other home action Saturday the Gopher track squad eDgages in a bit

of fraternal competition with the freshman team. The meet is set for the Field

House, with field events starting at 1:30 and running events at 2:00.

The Gopher swimming and gymnastics teams will be on the road. The tankers draw the unenviable assignment of taking on Indiana, Big Ten champions for the last

four years, at Bloomington. The gymnasts also face Indiana at Bloomington, with Chicago University thrown in for good measure.

Wally Johnson is overjoyed at the way his wrestlers have come through this

season. "We've lost only one dual meet and that was by one point to Iowa, II he

notes. liOn paper, we're not that good, but we've gotten 100 per cent effort from

all hands and that has made the difference."

Johnson warns that Arrtt:y could put a second blemish on the Gophers' near-pI9rfect

slate. The Cadets have lost only one meet, too, and that was to third-ranked

Lehigh. Minnesota has defeated Purdue twice this season but has not faced Illinois previously.

"The Gophers"

!UNNEAPOLIS. - Three of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association's leading

scorers, Doug Woog and Gary Hokanson of Minnesota and Mel Wakabayashi of Michigan

will vie for supremacy on the Wi) ) i ama Arena ice Friday and Saturday when the

Gophers entertain the Wolverines in a two-game series. Both games start at 8 p.m.

and will be preceded by Gopher freshman intra-squad clashes at 6:30.

Woog and Wakabayashi have been battling each other for the scoring lead in

recent weeks with Hokanson right behind. Prior to the Michigan - Michigan State

game Wednesday night (Feb. 17), Woog with 23 points, held a slim two-point lead

over Wakabayashi and a three point margin over Hokanson. All three are juniors.

Gopher coach John Mariucci hopes center Lorne Grosso will be available for duty

against the Wolverines after missing the Colorado College series and the U. S.

Nationals game because of pleurisy. If he is ready, Dick Haigh will move back to

his defensive post. If not, Haigh will continue to cert.er for co-captains Larry

Stordahl and Craig Fa.l.kman.

This has been a year of inconsistency for Michigan. The defending WCHA and. NCAA .

champs have turned in some excellent games and have been treated rather roughly

in others. One of their worst experiences was a 10-3 setback at the hands of the

Gophers at Ann Arbor in December. Underlining the unpredictability of their play,

the Wolverines had dumped the Gophers 7-6 the night before.

Three Twin Cities area players are on the Michigan roster - goalie Greg Page

who has started every game this season and regular defnseman Mark Thompson, both

former St. Paul Murray stalwarts, and wing Bob Boysen who prepped at Alexander

Ramsey. Boysen scored key goals in victories over Michigan State and Michigan Tech. ### Mailed February 17, 1965 For release upon receipt.

MTh'll~LIS. - Minnesota's last-improving tra.ck team gets its last dual meet test of the indoor season Saturday l'.'hen it faces Iowa in the Field House. Field

events start at 1:30 and running events at 2:00. The Gophers move into the Big Ten indoor meet the following weekend at

Champaign" Ill.

III look for a close meet," coach Roy Griak declares. "Iowa has much better

depth than last year and has won all its dual meets to date." The Hawkeyes had to settle tor second in a quadrangular meet last week behind

Illinois but ahead of P1r due and Northwestern. Hinnesota edged Iowa 72-69 last year.

Among Iowa's top threats are Steve Goldstone,60 and 300 yard dash; Scott

Rocker and Fred Ferree, 440; Alvin Randolph" one of the Big Ten's leading hurdlers;

and Bill Burnette, pole vault.

The Hawkeyes 1 great Bill Frazier, Conference 880 champion two years ago" has not competed this season after undergoing an Achilles tendon opera.tion la.st SUJ1Dller.

Griak expects all the Gophers to be in top physical shape lor the meet with

the exception of distance runner ~tike Elwell who has not been feeling up to par. He is listed as doubtful for competition.

The Gophers coach was especially pleased with the two-mile performance of

Norris Peterson in last Saturday I s practice meet. Peterson, who ha.s not lost in eithel" the mile or two mile this season, turned in a ttme of 9:03.4 which is almost a second and a halt better than the existing Big Ten indoor two mile mark. Mailed Februar,y 23 1 1965 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota's home hockey season could be over

for this year. Then again, it may not. It all depends on how things turn out this

weekend at two widely separated places - Grand Forks, N. D., and Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The Gophers meet North Dakota's league-leading Sioux in a series at the former

site and Michigan Tech's runnerup Huskies face fourth-place Michigan in a pair at

the latter. Among other things, second place in the WCHA and a home playoff berth

for either Minnesota or Tech rides on the outcome.

North Dakota currently leads the WaHA with a record of 11-3-0, followed by Tech

(10-5-1), Minnesota (10-6-0), lfichi.8an (7-9-0) and Michigan State (5-7-0). The

First three teams have clinched playoff berths but the order of finish has not been

determined. Tech still could win the title with a combination of two victories

over Michigan and two Dakota losses. Minnesota has been eliminated from the title

chase but could wind up second. For this to happen, the Gophers either would have

to sweep their series this weekend while the Huskies drop at least one1 or win one

while Tech loses two.

Either }1Iichigan or State could grab the final playorf spot. The Spartans

seemingly are in the best position since they host cellar-dwelling Colorado

College in a ~.

The fir8t-round playoff slate on Friday and Saturday, March 5-6, will pit the first-place team against the fourth-place squad at the home of No.1. The

runnerup team will host No.3. If Hinnesota is one of the first-round winners, it will play Monday, March 8, in the championship game which will be held. at the

site of the team finishing higher in the regular season standings. If the Gophers

------I ' ,F ~

don't make it, the title game will be played the following Saturday. The two

finalists automatically qualify for the NCAA tournament at Providence, Rhode

Island, to be played March 18-19-20.

Doug Woog lost his WCHA scoring leadership to Michigan's Hel Wakabayeshi over

the weekend. The Wolverine ace now has 28 points to Woog' s 26. Gary Hokanson

dropped from third to fourth with 22. Gerry Kell of North Dakota is third with 24. Mailed February 24, 1965 For release upon ~eceipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - "The odds against us catching Michigan are pretty long, but

the season isn't over yet."

This is the battle cry of the University of Mirmesota basketball team as it

girds for Saturday night's invasion of Williams Arena by Indiana's ever-dangerous hot-and-cold Hoosiers who will bring with them an 8 - 4 record in Conference play

to pit against the second place Gophers !motted with Illinois on 8 - 2 marks.

Coach John Kundla, fearful of a physical and mental letdown after Tuesday

night's strenuous encounter with Michigan, gave the weary Gopher regulars a day

of rest Wednesday before starting preparation for the season's o~ meeting with

Indiana.

While the Hoosiers are the concern of the moment, Kundla & Co. are mindful

of the fact that they must make one of the strongest finishes in Minnesota's

basketball annals to remain in contention for the title. Indiana, potent enough

to force Hichigan into double overtime, presents a formidable obstacle. The men

of McCracken started the season with nine consecutive wins. After Indiana comes

Iowa on March 2 at Iowa City, Michigan March 6 at Arm Arbor, and Iowa in Williams

Arena. This prospect if enough to give any coach nightmares.

Latest Mirmesota statistics show Captain Mel Northway within 15 rebounds of

Ray Cronk's all-time record of 287 for a 24-game schedule, a figure Northway

should surpass with little difficulty. Lou Hudson's 25 point output against

Michigan boosted his season scoring average for 20 games to 22.5. The statistics: ------.-

March 1, 1965 ¥JNNESOTA 'S IDNG-RANGE FOOTBALL PROSPECTS

By Otis Dypwick

''We face probably the biggest remodeling job since I came to Minnesota in 1954. Itls true that we expect 23 lettermen to return, but we have lost 12 of the 22 players with significant playing time last season. While we had a reasonably good freshman squad, we canIt expect sophomores to make up for our heavy losses of key personnel."

Thus does Coach Murray Warmath concisely assess the University of Minnesota's long-range football prospects for 1965.

Starting with the plus side, the Gophers expect to have a solid corps of experienced ends in Lettermen Aaron Brown, Bob Bruggers, Kent Kramer, and John Rajala. Also returning is junior letterman Ken Last who plays either end or flankerback.

Quarterback John Hankinson who broke virtua.J.ly every Minnesota passing record during the 1964 season is counted on heavily to again spark the Minnesota attack, but other than the presence of Hankinson, the Minnesota backfield picture is indeed a bleak one. Gone are the three top offensive backs - halfbacks Bill Crockett and Fred Farthing, and fullback Mike Reid. Reid was the team's No. 1 place-kicker on kickoffs, field goals, and extra points, and was a dependable corner linebacker on defense. Also departed are top defensive halfbacks Kraig Lofquist, rated by Warmath as best in the league last season, and Stan Skjei who also handled some punting chores. As Warmath puts it, "The defensive and offensive backs who really made an important contribution to our 1964 season, with the exception of Hankinson and tlankerback Last, have been wiped out." Ray Whitlow, a seldom-used reserve, is the only letterman halfback on hand. The coaching staff was still experimenting with defensive quarterbacks (safety men) at the end of the season. The return of Stu Maples who missed last season could ease the defensive safety problem. Adequate offensive quarterbacks to back up Hankinson are being sought, with none in sight at this time (March 1).

Warmath believes that it was ¥d.nnesota's strong defensive play that earned the Gophers a tie with Illinois for 4th place in the final Big Ten standings. ''We knew we were solid defensively a year ago at this time," says Warmath, continuing "for we had experienced ends, linebackers, and halfbacks returning, and they are the key to defensive play."

This year the coaching staff is faced with the necessity of replacing these linebackers and halfbacks.

Another big gap to be filled before liinnesota leads off its tough 10-game schedule against highly-regarded Southern California next Sept. 17 at Los Angeles is at the center position. Missing are Frank Marchlewski, perhaps the best offensive center in the Conference in 164, and Captain Joe Pung, a fine linebacker and great leader. With no center lettermen available, the staff must come up with new offensive and defensive talent. Considerable experimentation will be carried on at this position throughout spring practice. Lettermen Don Rosen, Gale Gillingham, Jon Staebler, and Jim Fulgham return at the tackle positions where defensive weakness and offensive mediocrity were apparent during the 164 campaign. Rosen and Gillingham were considered offensive tackles, but were frequently called on to go "both ways" when Minnesota was pressed defensively. An intensive search for Big Ten caliber tackle material will be conducted throughout spring practice.

Captain George Faust and Chuck Killian who finished the season as starters at guard on offense return. Faust whose specialty was linebacking until repeated shoulder injuries forced a switch to offense, has undergone shoulder surger,y. Gone is fier,y Willie Costanza whose linebacking talents and experience will be missed.

The Uinnesota coaching staff does not go along with the thinking of the optimistic fans expecting the sophomore crop to plug the many offensive and defensive gaps. In truth, there are no Bobby Bells, Bill Munseys, Sandy Stephens, or Carl Ellers in the group.

As the opening of spring practice approaches, it appears that the sophs-to-be most likely to help the varsity are Gordon Condo, 175-pound halfback from Howard, PennsylVania; Hubie Bryant, 16O-pound halfback from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, John Williams, 22Q-pound fullback from Toledo, Ohio; and Bobby Lee, 6-3, 195-pounder from Montgomery, Alabama, and Charles Sanders, 6-4 and 205 pounds, Richlands" N.C. Lee and Sanders are ends or flankerbacks.

Adding to the problems of the Minnesota coaching staff facing such a major rebuilding task is the week of fall practice lost with the inauguration of the 10-game schedule.

Warmath hopes that the pleasant surprise provided by the Gophers last year will not lead Minnesota's followers to optimism over prospects for 1965.

One thing is certain -- not even the most foolhardy would undertake at this time to tr,y and forecast two-deep offensive and defensive lineups. The situation points to mensive experimentation and continuing shifts during spring practice as Warmath and starf work feverishly in this limited span of time to plug the gaping holes in Minnesota's football lineup. It is not at all improbable that a single player could be a fullback, center, guard, and tackle within the space of a few days. LETmRMEN EXPECTED TO RETURN (1964 Playing Time in Parentheses)

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota I s hockey Gophers draw a tough assignment this

weekend when they travel to Houghton, Mich. for their opening round series in

the Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs against rapi~-improving

Michigan Tech. Total goals scored in games Friday and Saturday nights will

determine which team moves into the championship game against the winner of the

North Dakota - Michigan State series.

The Gophers (10-8-0) had to settle for third place in the regular season

standings behind the first-place Sioux (13-3-0) and the runnerup Huskies (12-5-1).

Mirmesota lost both of its games to Dakota at Grand Forks last weekend while Tech

was romping to a pair of wins over Hichigan, last year I s NCAA champion. Michigan

State (7-7-0) captured the other playoff spot by whipping Colorado College twice.

Should Minnesota win its series with Tech, the title game will be played

next Monday on the home ice of the team with the highest standing for the regular

season. if the Gophers lose this weekend, the championship game will be played

the following Saturday.

Minnesota and Tech split their only regular season series at Williams

Arena in January, the Huskies winning the opener 4-1 and the Gophers taking the finale 5-4. The weekend series will mark Minnesota's first appearance at Houghton

since early in the 1962-63 season. The teams split on that occasion.

Tech currently is riding a five-game winning streak in Association play and

apparently getting stronger with each start. The Huskies boast the WCHA's best

goalie in who gave the Gophers fits in his appearance here. In 10

Association games, he fashiQled a 2.0 goals against average and turned in one ,------

shutout.

The Gophers suffered their first shutout of the season at North Dakota last

Friday, losing 6-0. They came back strong Saturday only to see a 3-1 advantage

go to waste when they got into penalty trouble in the third period. The Sioux won 5-4.

The unhappy weekend also saw Doug Woog fail in his bid for the WCHA scoring

championship. He had to settle for third behind Michigan I s Mel Wakabayashi who

took the title on 30 points and Dakota I s Gerry Kell who captured runnerup honors

with 28. lloog finished with 27. Gary Hokanson dropped to eighth and Craig

Falkman to twelfth.

Woog continues to hold a commanding lead in Gopher team scoring for the

season. He has 44 points on 25 goals and 19 assists. His nearest rival is Hokanson with 34.

"The Gophers"

l1INNEAPOLIS. - Coach Roy Griak isn't predicting a championship for the University of Minnesota's 14-man track and field contingent in the Big Ten

Conference indoor meet Friday and Saturday at Champaign, but he optimistically

anticipates a high finish for the young Gophers.

Probably Minnesota's best bet for a blue ribbon in the meet is Tom Barnes

in the shot put. The St. Paul senior (one of three on the squad) has tossed the

shot 56 feet and 6 inches in competition this winter for the top effort by any

Conference weight man.

Other Gophers whose best competitive times this season compare favorab~

with the fastest recorded c10ckings by athletes with whom they must vie Friday and

Saturday are sophomore Mike Gilham whose :.31.1 for the .300-yard dash has been

equalled by Das Campbell of Michigan State and Elwin Sellers of Ohio State; W~e

Thronson whose winning 1:54.1 against Iowa last Saturday is the fastest known time

this season for the 8BO-yard run; and Norris Peterson whose 9: 14.0 best time in the

two mile has been surpassed by Eric Zemper of Michigan State (9:12.6) and. Ted

Benedict of Hichigan (9:12.7) • Peterson who doubles in the mile and has an outside

chance in this event is the defending indoor champion at two miles. Rounding out the Hinnesota delegation are Wendell Bjorklund who will compete

in the long jump and high jump; Larry Mueller, pole vault; Bill Stevens, 6o-yard.

dash; Dean Anderson, 6OO-yard run; W~e Thronson and Stan Gatfin, Sao-yard run;

John Valentine and }Juke Elwell, mile run; Dave Wegner, 1,000 yard run; Tom Heinonen,

two-mile run; Byron Gigler, 70-yard high hurdles; Jerry Brouwer, 7a-yard low

hurdles. Anderson, Brouwer, Gigler, and Gilham will comprise Minnesota's one-mile

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Wally Johnson thinks his University of Minnesota wrestling team can be considered a darkhorse possibility for the Big Ten championship in the

Conference meet at Columbus, Ohio this weekend. Gopher swiJmning coach Bob Mowerson and gymnastics mentor Ralph Piper are less optimistic regarding prospects in their

respective Conference showdowns at Madison, Wis. and Champaign, Ill.

''Michigan is a big favorite to repeat for the title," says Johnson, "but you

never can tell about tournaments. I 1d certainly have to say our chances were in

the long-shot category, but with the right luck, we could have a chance."

Johnson will enter an eight-man squad, including Jim Anderson, 123 pounds;

Larry Lloyd, J30; Terry Barrett, 137; Ron Ankeny, 147; Lee Gross, defending Big Ten champion at 157; John Klein, 167; Bob Ramstad, 177; Jon Staebler, heavyweight. Mowerson expects no titles but hopes his Gopher splashers can at least finish

in the first division. He rates Michigan and Indiana the teams to beat with

Michigan State and Ohio State not far behind. Minnesota was fourth a year ago. The Gophers only defending champion, Wally Richardson in the 100 yard butterfly,

has had a difficult time of it so far this winter but Mowerson expects him to turn

in his best effort of the season and make a determined bid for a third straight

title. Capt. Mike Stauffer is also a threat in the freestyle sprints. Other swinmers making the trip will be Darrel Anderson, Doug Felton, Lonnie

Helgem.o, Tom Herrmann and Rick Murphy, freestyle; Joe Clack, and Bob Scott,

breaststroke; Don Grant, Jim Pelissier and Dennis Dale, individual medley and breaststroke; Jim Dragon, freestyle am individual medley; Gerry Erickson, John

Gorny, Al Lunemann and Don Spencer, butterfly; and John Romstead, diving. Only three Gopher gymnasts - Bill Eibrink, all around; Bob Hoecherl, horse; and Dick Hinricks, parallel bars -- will compete at Champaign. Eibrink placed fifth in the long horse and seventh all-around last year. Hoecherl is considered a good bet to place high in the side horse. This year the Conference meet will involve individual competition only. The team championship has already been won by

Michigan on the basis ot dual meets. Minnesota finished sixth with a 2-5 record.

The ewimming meet starts Thursday and continues Friday and Saturday, while the wrestlers and gymnasts compete Friday and Saturday only.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota basketball team Saturday will try to

accomplish at Ann Arbor what it failed to do at home last week - beat Michigan's

undefeated and front-running Wolverines.

The Gophers, fresh from a narrow road victory over Iowa, are determined to make

amends for what they feel was a sub-par performance in the earlier meeting with Dave

Strack's talented crew. The Wolverines won that one 91-78 with a strong second halt

after being tied 39-39 at the intermission.

Coach John Kundla promises that the Gophers will go all out to put the initial

blot on Michigan's Big Ten record. Minnesota must win to keep alive its slim hopes

for a title tie. Michigan clinched a tie by whipping Wisconsin Tuesday night.

If the Gophers should win, the race will not be decided until next Monday or

Tuesday. Michigan travels to Columbus to play Ohio State Monday and Minnesota drew

Iowa in a return matcb at Williams Arena Tuesday. A Wolverine loss and a Gopher

win in those games would throw the teams into a tie for the championship. The

Gophers would automatically win the right to enter NCAA regional tournament

competition since Michigan competed last year. Conference rules stipulate that, in

case of a tie, the team which has been away from NCAA competition longest gets the

nod. The Gophers have never played in a national playoff. Despite being held to 20 points against Iowa because of foul trouble, Lou Hudson is averaging 22.7 points for 22 games. He needs 52 points in his last two starts to break the Minnesota season Bcoring record set by Eric Magdanz in 1961-62 and 63 to surpass Magdanz' mark of 352 for 14 Conference games. Capt. Mel Northway, with 299 rebounds, already has broken Ray Cronk's all-time season record for a 24-game schedule. He needs only five more rebounds to eclipse his own record of 168 for 14 Conference games.

"The Gophers"

lUNNEAPOLIS. - Doug Woog, junior wing f'rom South st. Paul, is the University

of Minnesota hockey team's scoring champion for 1964-65.

Woog finished the campaign with 47 points. His 26 goals led the team by a

wide margin and his 21 assists were second only to Gary Hokanson's 22. He ranked third in Western Collegiate Hockey Association scoring behind Mel Wakabayashi of'

Michigan and Dennis Hextall of North Dakota.

Hokanson was Woog' s closest rival. He f'inished with 36 points, f'our more than

senior Craig Falkman and Roy Nystrom, last year's top scorer. Larry Stordahl and Bruce Larson scored 31 am 30 points respectively. The Gophers set a team record for number of assists in one season with 205,

four more than the old record set by the 1953-54 team.

Junior goalie John Lothrop broke the season record f'or number of' stops by one

goalie. He recorded 869, 27 more than Jack McCartan's 1957-58 mark of' 842.

Although Minnesota was eliminated in the first round of the WCHA playoffs

by Michigan Tech last weekend, Gopher coach John Mariucci expressed satisfaction

with the season: ''When you f'inish third in a league with two teams as strong as

North Dakota and Tech, you're not doing too badly. We had a lot of close games.

In fact, six of our eight losses were by one goal. II

The Gophers lose six seniors - defensemen Dick Haigh and Pat Furlong and

wings Craig Falkman, Larry Stordahl, Roy Nystrom and Dick Bloom. A promising

MINNEAPOLIS. - It is said that oblivion comes quickly to the person or team

finishing second best" but the University of Minnesota's runnerup basketball Gophers

in the 1965 Big Ten Conference race will be long remembered for their record-

breaking team and individual exploits.

First of all, this year's outfit won more games (19) than any of its

predecessors dating back to 1896. In addition, the following five team and three individual all-time marks were

written into the record books to assure that the ''memory and spirit of '65" will

linger on, probably for years to come:

~: 1. Team scoring for 14 Conference games: 1213 points (86.6). Old record - 1963-64 team" 1202 points (85.8). 2. Team scoring for season (24 games): 2007 points (83.6). Old record ­ 1963-64 team" 1941 points (80.9)• .3. Best Conference field goal shooting average (14 games): .453 (474 of 1046). Old record -- .436 (437 of 1002) in 1961-62 season. 4. Best field goal shooting average for season (24 games): .451 (795 of 1763). Old record -- .426 (765 of 1793) in 1963-64 season. 5. Most games won in complete season (24 games): 19.

nIDIVIDUAL: 1. Most points for one complete season (24 games): Lou Hudson, 558 (23.3). Old record by Eric Magdanz, 1961-62, 551 (23.0). 2. Most rebounds in a 24-game season: Mel Northway, 321. Old record by Ray Cronk" 1961-62, 2f!f7. 3. Most rebounds in Conference games in one season: Northway" 186. Old reoord by Northway" 1963-64, 168. With starters Lou Hudson, Don Yates, Archie Clark, and Dennis Dvoracek, and first-line reserves Paul Presthus and Wes Martins expected to return for the 1965-66 season, prospects appear to be good for another strong Minnesota entry in the rugged and capricious Big Ten Conference basketball race. As for Coach John Kundla and the future, he declines to be put on record. Says John cautiously, "Let's wait and see. Lots of things can happen between now and next November to

change the picture." Minnesota's final 24-game season statistics: I ' '.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Dick Siebert takes his defending NCAA champion Umversity of Minnesota baseball team to Texas this weekend in search of a catcher and third

baseman. The success of the Gophers I season may depend in large measure on how

well this quest turns out.

The team leaves by train Saturday at 11 a.m. and arrives in the "Lone Star

State1/ Sunday afternoon. ~ey will return the following weekend.

Catcher became a problem spot for Siebert when last year's regular receiver,

Ron Wojciak deci.cled to turn pro. The loss of Wojciak, a third-team all-American in 1964, left the Gophers without a tested catcher. To offset this, Siebert put

Capt. Jerry Cawley, last year I s regular third baseman, behind the plate. This left

a hole at third where sophomres Jerry Fuchs and Gary Reierson have been vying for the starting job.

Recently, however, Mike Caraway, a junior who was bothered by a sore arm last season, has made a strong bid for the catcher's assignment. It he makes the grade,

Cawley will be moved back to third.

Siebert plans to give both Cawley and Caraway a lengthy trial behind the

plate while in Texas. The team will be split for the first tour days. Cawley will

start tor Siebert·s squad against Texas Monday and Tuesday and Texas A & M

Wednesday and Thursday, while Caraway will do the catching for assistant coach

Gene Steiger I s team against Texas Lutheran and Blinn College.

IlBy the end ot the week, we should have a pretty good line on which man is

going to help us most behind the plate, II Siebert says.

The two squads will join forces Friday and Saturday in a pair of doubleheaders , "

against Sam Houston State at Huntsville. In addition to Wojciak, the Gophers will be without last year's fireball

captain, Dewey Markus, at second; the 164 team's leading hitter, Bill Davis, at first; Al Druskin in rightfield and pitcher Dick Mielke. Lettermen back include Cawley, pitchers Joe Pollack and Frank Brosseau, outfielders Archie Clark and Dave Hoffman, and shortstops Steve Schneider and Dick McCullough. Pollack and Brosseau were two of the most effective hurlers in the Big Ten last season, fashioning 1.50 and 1.56 ERA respectively in Conference play. Pollack won a spot on the all-Big Ten first team and broke two Conference records in the

process -- for fewest hits given up (17) and lowest batting average against (.122). Promising newcomers include Fuchs, Reierson, first baseman Denny Zacho and pitchers Jim Stewart, Mike McNair, Gene Rasmussen, Jerry Sevlie and Chuck Thoreson. Zacho, who is expected to be a regular, has been bothered by a knee injury suffered while practicing with the Gopher hockey team. The knee has been responding to treatment, however, and it is hoped he will be able to play in Texas. The entire squad making the trip: Pitchers - Dave Alleman, Brosseau, Tom Lindberg, McHair, Pollack, Rasmussen, Sevlie, Stewart, Thoreson, Rene Valenciano, vlickman; catchers -- Caraway, Cawley, Bob Rofidal; infielders - Kent Evans, Fuchs, Pat Hergott, McCullough, Reierson, Ron Roalstad, Schneider, Bob Werness, Zacho; outfielders -- Clark, Fred DeGregoire, Gary Erickson, Hoffman.

"The Gophers"

HINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota golt and tennis squads head for

sunny Texas this weekend and a week-long round of competition which they hope will

help them improve on last year's records.

Both golt coach Les Bolstad and tennis mentor Don Lewis feel they have teams

which could finish higher than last year in Big Ten competition. The golfers were

fourth and the netmen eighth in 1964.

Neither Bolstad nor Lewis expects to come back loaded with victories since the

competition will be among the toughest in the country. They do expect the

experience gained in Texas to help considerably in getting the teams ready for Big

Ten play, however.

Capt. Dave Gumlia, twice runnerup for the Conference individual medal and

Minnesota Open champion, and Bob Petersen, a 1963 letterman who did not compete

last season, Should give Bolstad a strong 1-2 punch. Petersen, who will not be

eligible until spring quarter, will not make the trip to Texas. Another returning

letterman, junior George Hallin, also should help. Promising sophomores include

Tom Huber, who has exceptional potential, Bill Bakken, Jim Carlson and Nick Lindahl.

The golfers meet Rice Monday and 'ltlednesday and Houston Tuesday, all matches

being played in Houston. The University of Houston has dominated collegiate golf

in recent years. Highlight of the trip will be the "Les Bolstad Open" Thursday and

Friday at Atoscocita Country Club near Houston. Rice and Houston will also be

among the entries in this rugged test. Lewis has a mixture of veterans and promising rookies which he thinks could put the Gophers into the Big Ten's first division. Top returnees are Jerry Noyce, who could be one of the best in the Conference, Capt. Chuck Mikkelson, Tom Boice,

Jerry Krause and Dave Rosenberg. The sophomore contingent is led by Neil Covin and Ron Keith who are both expected to be regulars.

The week's schedule finds the netmen playing dual meets with St. Edward I s

Monday, Southeastern State of Oklahoma Tuesday and Texas A & MWednesday. Then, they swing into the strong Rice Institute Tournament Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

All competition will be in Houston. Mailed March 17, 1965 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota's outdoor track, golf and tennis squads all are

looking forward to improved seasons this spring after winding up their southern trip.

Roy Griak feels that the excellent indoor performances of a number of his

sophomores should enable the Gophers to shoot for another first-division finish.

They tied for third during the indoor season. He was not discouraged by his team's

121-24 loss to New Mexico in Albuquerque last Friday.

"New 1-lex:i.co has probably the finest dual meet team in the country and the

altitude down there bothered us a great deal," he points out. UIn addition, New

Mexico competed in events we don't have, the javelin and hop, skip and jump."

Les Bolstad was pleased with the overall play of his golfers in Texas. The

Gophers split a pair of dual meets with Rice and went on to finish second, although

a distant one, behind Houston in the "Les Bolstad Open." Houston is the finest

collegiate golf team in the country. Bolstad was especially pleased with the play

of sophomores Nick Lindahl and Jim Carlson who showed steady improvement. Bob

Petersen, who was not in school a year ago, is now eligible. He was a member of

Minnesota's Big Ten championship team two years ago.

Don Lewis believes that the experience gained by his tennis squad in Texas will

help greatly in preparing for the upcoming Big Ten season. The Gophers defeated

St. Edward's and lost to Southeastern Oklahoma State and Texas A &M in dual meets

and also took part in the rugged Rice University Tournament, one of the finest in

the nation.

All three teams will be idle this week and the golfers will be out of action until May 6. The trackmen compete in a triangular meet against Iowa State and Nebraska at Ames, Iowa a wekk from Saturday, weather permitting. Lewis also takes his netters to Ames that weekend to face State, Bradley and Wisconsin. ### Mailed March 30, 1965 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

Mllll[&APOLIS. - Dick Siebert's defending NCAA champion University of Minnesota

baseball team has had its brief taste of playing outdoors in not-so-sunny Texas and

is back within the familiar confines of the Field House. Eventually, the Gophers

will return to the out-of-doors, but that day is likely to be some weeks away.

ll\·le hoped to play at Iowa State this weekend," Siebert says, "but unfortunately

there is no shortage of snow and ice there either. I'm told it would take a miracle

for us to play."

If the Iowa State series (four doubleheaders) is oscrubbed, the Gophers

probably will not be able to play until late in April. Delta Field is well

covered by a blanket of white, and there is a goodly layer of ice under that.

Hinnesota is scheduled to play home doubleheaders against Mankato State next

Tuesday, North Dakota State and Augsburg the following weekend and a single game

with St. Thomas the next Tuesday before going to Brookings, South Dakota, for a pair

of twin bills with South Dakota State on April 16-17. All may have to be scratched.

Then follows a doubleheader with Carleton here on April 20 and the Big Ten opening

series with Purdue and Illinois April 23-24, also at Delta Field.

Siebert was generally pleased with his team's effort in Texas despite the

worst weather he has ever encountered on a spring trip. "We hit pretty well during

our first five games," he declares. "Then the weather turned bad and we were unable

to play four of our scheduled games. When we finally were able to play the

doubleheader against Sam Houston State on Saturday, we weren't the team we were

earlier in the week. " The Gopher coach was especially pleased with the play of sophomores Denny Zacho and Jerry Fuchs. Zacho led the team in hitting with a lusty .692 clip while Fuchs hit a highly-respectable .357. Both showed improvement in the field, at first and third respectively. Capt. Jerry Cawley apparently has won the regular catcher's job. He had been contending with junior Mike Caraway for the position. With Cawley set behind the plate and Fuchs seemingly ready to do the job at third, Siebert's biggest problems have been eased. Siebert was well satisfied with the pitching, except for the under-par performance of veteran Frank Brosseau, one of the aces of last year's superlative staff. Brosseau was plagued by control trouble, something which has seldom bothered him in the past. "I'm not worried about Frank," Siebert says. ''He was rather slow getting started last year, but lie know he's a good pitcher and his control will come around." Joe Pollack, last year's premier pitcher, showed he has lost none of his stuff. He fashioned a gaudy 0.82 ERA in Texas, Despite this effort, he had to settle for second place behind sophomore Gene Rasmussen who turned in a 0.79 mark for 11 innings. Another soph, lefthander Jerry Wickman, was most impressive in his only start. He gave up just one earned run and no walks in seven innings. Overall, Siebert appears to have only one pressing problem -- the elements.

"The weather was disappointing in Texas," he admits, "and we'll lose whatever edge we got down there in a hurry unless we can play outdoors, and who knows when that will be. II

liThe Gophers"

NINNEAPOLIS. - Hope springs eternal, they say, and Dick Siebert, coach of

the University of Minnes::> ta's defending NCAA champion baseball team, is trying

hard to be optimistic. Delta Field still is covered by slush and water, but the

Gopher mentor says there is an outside chance the doubleheaders scheduled with

North Dakota State Friday and Augsburg Saturday may be played.

III'm not calling them off yet, II Siebert declares. "If we get a few days of

sun and higher temperatures, it could make a big difference. It could result

in a miracle."

If the games have to be scratched, as were last week's scheduled twin bill

at Iowa State and this week's pair with Mankato State, the next target date will

be Tuesday (April 13) when a single game is on tap against St. Thomas, also at

Delta. The Gophers are slated to travel to Brookings, S. D. to play South Dakota

State the following weekend.

Two highly-regarded sophomore pitchers were sidelined last week and are

questionable for this weekend. Gene Rasmussen, who compiled the team's best ERA

in Texas, was afflicted with the measles while Jim Stewart has been bothered by

a bad hand.

lUNNEAPOLIS. - When will spring football practice start at the University of

Minnesota? Apparently only the weather man can answer this question. The opening date was

long ago set at Saturday, April 10, but a heavy blanket of ice currently covering

the practice fields precludes this possibility. Coach Murray Warmath, heading into

his 12th season at the Gopher helm, is determined that each of the allotted 20 days

of practiee shall be held out of doors. The squad will go to work the very first

day it can do so without bogging down hopelessly in the mud. Any dry plot of turf

will become a beehive of activity when Warmath blows the opening whistle and the

squad of 85 candidates finally buckles down to the spring routine. The Minnesota coaching staff is expecting the following candidates to report:

HINNEAPOLIS. - Fair weather or foul, the University of Minnesota tennis team returns to action this weekend. The Gophers meet Iowa State, Wisconsin and

Bradley at Ames, Iowa in three dual meets Friday and Saturday. Although Coach Don Lewis hopes the weather will permit the matches to be played outdoors, the presence of indoor facilities at Ames assures that the teams will be able to compete no matter what the conditions. Lewis says his ace player, Jerry Noyce, has been bothered by a sore shoulder since returning from the Texas trip 10 days ago. Noyce is expected to play but may not be at peak efficiency. Otherwise the netters are in top physical shape. Minnesota stands 1-2 in dual meet competition for the season to date. The Gophers defeated Iowa State a year ago 6-3 but lost a pair to Wisconsin, 8-1 and 6-3. They did not compete against Bradley.

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota baseball team launches its defense of the Big Ten championship at Delta Field this weekend with improved Purdue and Illinois providing the opposition. '!be Boilermakers, one of only' two Conference teams to beat the Gophers last year, will be on hand for a single game Friday, starting at 3:30 p.m. and the Illlni will do the honors in a twin bill Saturday, getting underway at 1:00. Minnesota coach Dick Siebert hopes the unspringlike weather which has been

bedtlvil1ng the Gophere eince their retum from Texas will relent this week. In addition to the Big Ten openers, he has doubleheaders scheduled with Carleton

Tuesday and tentatively' with North Dakota State Wednesday. The Gophers registered three victories over South Dakota State at Brookings last weekend but the \feather wae eo cold that neither team was able to perfonn at top efficiency. The results left Minnesota with an 8-4 record.

"I still don't have much of a line on my team," Siebert admits. ''We've played eo few games and the weather has been eo bad when we have played that it'e hard to give an accurate appraisal ot our strength. I'd say that we appear to have

pretty good balance. Our pitching, hitting and fielding all look adequate, but we

don't appear to be outstanding in any of these departments right now."

Siebert had expected pitching to be the team's chief strength, but, with the exception of ace Joe Pollack, the hurlers have not been especial.1y' impressive. The coach pointe out, however, that the weather has not been conducive to good pitching. p - ri!~C) rF) " ",1

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The first impression of an onlooker at the University of

Minnesota 1s early spring football practices which finally got under way April 16:

"They may be green, but there's going to be plenty of size."

What the man said was little more than half a truth. The 1965 Gophers could

have plenty of heft up front where prime candidates include such stalwarts as ends

Aaron Brown (240), Chet Anderson (235), Ronald Wick (230), Tom Gersey (240);

tackles Gale Gillingham (240), Jim Fulgham (265), Jon Staebler (240), Barry

Yagodich~i(245), and Don Rosen (235); centers Pat Parr (270), McKinley Boston (225),

Dennis Zelinski (210), Steve Cronk (240). However, the majority of the guards are

in the 180 - 205-pound range which is lighter than Coach Warmath would choose to

have them.

But in the backfield it's an entirely different picture. The leading running

halfback candidates at this early stage are Dave Colburn, La Crosse junior 0170},

Hubie Bryant, Pittsburgh, Pa. sophomore (160), Gordon Condo, Howard, Pa. sophomore

(170), Harry Davis, Jr., Minneapolis sophomore (170). Warmath would gladly trade some of that up-front beef for a couple of rugged, strong running halfbacks to

supplement these "pony" backs in the rough going ahead next fall. At 185 pounds veteran John Hankinson is the sturdiest of the quarterbacks

with understudies Lawrence Carlson of Williston, North Dakota, Tom Sakal of

Aliquippa, Pa. and Curtis Wilson of Lawton, Oklahoma weighing 180, 183, and 155 pounds respectively.

Foremost fullback prospects are Joe Holmberg, 205 pound junior from Mounds

View high and Jerry Newsom, Minneapolis junior, also 205. Both are more the halfback running type than bull-dozing linebusters. If John Williams, 220 sophomore candidate from Toledo, Ohio shows what the coaching staff is looking for at fullback, he could add considerable punch. ### Mailed April 19, 1965 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota's surprising track team, fresh from a highly-pleasing

performance in the Kansas Relays, heads for Des Moines Friday and Saturday and the

56th annual Drake Relays.

"I was very, very happy with our showing in the Kansas Relays, II Gopher coach

Roy Griak explains. "I do think we could have done better in a couple of events,

however. ~lelll try to do so at Drake, even though the field could be even stronger

than at Kansas."

Several Gophers turned in their career bests in the Kansas Relays. Mike

Gillham ran his quarter-mile leg of the distance medley relay in 47 seconds flat;

John Valentine recorded a 1:55.8 half mile; Wendell Bjorklund hit 23 feet, 7 3/4

inches in the broad jump, six inches better than his previous best; Stan Gaffin

set a Minnesota team record with a three-quarter mile time of 2:59.7; Dave Wegner

recorded a 1:53.8 half mile anchor leg in the two mile relay.

In addition, Byron Gigler ran a brilliant race in the 120 yard high hurdles

to capture second place; Norris Peterson also grabbed a second and Tom. Heinonen a

third in the 5,000 meter run; the four-mile relay team (Valentine, Gaffin, Mike

Elwell, Wegner) and distance medley relay team (Wayne Thronson, Gillham, Gaffin, Peterson) both took fourths; Heinonen also recorded a fourth in the 10,000 meter run.

The Gopher lineup for the Drake Relays: 120-yard high hurdles -- Byron

Gigler; two mile -- Peterson, Heinonen; 100 yard dash -- Bill Stevens; 440 yard hurdles -- Gigler, Gerry Brouwer, Al Bender; four-mile relay -- Valentine, Elwell, Peterson or Wegner; broad and high jump -- Wendell Bjorklund; shot and discus -- Tom Barnes; three-mile run -- George Podolsky, Heinonen and Bob Weigel; distance relay -­ Wegner, Gillham, Gaffin, Peterson; two-mile relay -- Dean Anderson, Thronson, Bob Wandberg, Elwell, Gaffin or Hegner; pole vault -- John Shaffer, Larry Mueller.

liThe Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The search for better weather and more Big Ten wins takes the

University of Minnesota baseball team to Iowa City this weekend and a three-game

series with a pitching-rich Iowa team. The Gophers (2-1 in Conference play) will

meet the Hawkeyes (0-1) in a single game Friday and a doubleheader Saturday.

Despite temperatures more suitable for late November football games, Dick

Siebert's squad won two out of three in their first Big Ten action last weekend at

Delta Field. It was an 11-3 cakewalk over Purdue Friday, but things weren't quite

so easy Saturday. A vastly-improved Illinois team belted Minnesota ace Joe Pollack

to won the opener 10-5 and then succumbed to Gopher sophomore lefty Jerry Wickman in

the finale.

Pollack's rough afternoon caused considerable surprise in the Gopher camp but

.3iebert isn't too concerned. ''We know that Joe is an outstanding college pitcher,"

he declares. "For some reason he didn't seem to have his stuff against Illinois.

The cold weather may have had something to do with it. Anyway, we're looking for

him to come back strong this weekend."

~lith this one exception, Siebert was pleased with the Gophers' performance.

''We hit the ball pretty well and got good pitching from Wickman and Frank Brosseau,"

he says. Brosseau turned in his finest performance of the year in defeating Purdue.

He struck out nine Boilermakers before retiring after five innings when his elbow

tightened up.

"Right now, we stack up pretty well compared to our team at the same time last

year," Siebert adc;le. Considering the fact that the Gophers went on to capture the Big Ten and NCAA titles, this is high praise.

Brosseau will get the pitching assignment Friday wlth Pollack and Gene

Rasmussen set to go Saturday. All are righthanders. The rest of the Friday lineup will find Denny Zacho at first, Ron Roalstad at second, Steve Schneider at short, Jerry Fuchs at third, Jerry Cawley catching and Dave Hoffman, Archie Clark and Fred DeGregoire in the outfield. Brosseau will replace Clark in center­ field Saturday.

Zacho continues to pace the Gopher attack with a .456 mark. Brosseau (.400),

C:awley (.333) and DeGregoire (.310) follow. Rasmussen has the best ERA among the pitchers (1.21), followed by reliefer Charley Thoreson (1.46), Pollack (1.93), and

:1iclanan (2.46).

MINNEAPOLIS. - Football fans will get a preview of next fall's University of l-1innesota football team Saturday when Murray Warmath splits up his squad for the

annual spring game in Memorial Stadium. Kickoff time is 2 p.m.

A special halftime ceremony will honor Bert Baston who won all-American honors

in football at the University back in 1915-16 and served as end coach during the

1924-1950 era.

The Gophers will have only two weeks of practice time under their belts when

they square off Saturday. They will work another two weeks following the contest

to iron out rough spots which show up in the intra-squad tussle.

The coaching staff hopes that quarterback John Hankinson will be able to play.

He suffered a shoulder injury in last Saturday's first practice of the sp~ng and has

been undergoing treatment to rectify the trouble. Otherwise, the team appears

fairly healthy.

One of the biggest rebuilding tasks facing Warmath this spring is that of finding

suitable replacements in a decimated backfield. Hankinson is the only starter

returning on attack from a year ago. He broke virtually every Minnesota passing

record in the book in 1964 but such top offensive backs as Bill Crockett, Fred

Farthing and Mike Reid are gone. Replacements must come from the upcoming sophomore

crop which includes such highly-regarded prospects as left halfbacks Hubie Bryant

and Gordy Condo, flankers and Bobby Lee and fullback John Williams.

All will be on display Saturday.

Minnesota does boast one of its finest end squads in recent years with such stalwarts as Aaron Brown, Kenny Last, Bob Bruggers, Chet Anderson and John Rajala back, along with sophomore Tom Gersey. Warmath is still pondering how to divide his squad for the Saturday showdown. The exact lineups probably will not be known until the latter part of the week.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Saturday is Spring Sports Day at the University of Minnesota and, in keeping with the occasion, the Gopher tennis team will host powerful Northwestern in its first home weekend of the Big Ten season. Coach Don Lewis' club will warm up for the Wildcats with a dual meet against a young Ohio State team at 1:30 Friday at the University courts. The complete Saturday schedule finds Northwestern taking on Ohio State at 9 a.m. and the Wildcat-Gopher tussle at 1:30.

~tinneeota has not been in action for over a week and has been hampered by the intemperate weather conditions. Nevertheless, the Gophers have gotten off to their best start since Lewis took over as head coach in 1959. They stand 5-1 since returning from their Texas trip and 1-1 in Big Ten play. Northwestern is still rated among the Big Ten's best despite losing Marty

Riessen who was Conference individual champ for three years in a row. They have three returnees from last season's strong club, however, including Clark Graebner who was ranked ninth nationally among amateur singles players in 1964, one notch ahead of Riessen whom he defeated in two out of three tournaments last SUJraIler. Ohio

State is something of an unlmo1m quantity in the Big Ten race thus far, according to Lewis.

MINNEAPOLIS. - It's back on the road for the travelling University of

Minnesota track team this weekend. The Gophers will meet Northwestern and Northern

Illinois in a triangular meet at Evanston Saturday. Northern Illinois is a late

entry in what was originally billed as a dual event.

Minnesota whipped the Wildcats 86-54 in indoor competition last winter but

Coach Roy Griak expects a stiff battle. He foresees an especially good race in the

mile where Northwestern will pit Big Ten cross country champion Lee Assenheimer who

also \-/as second in the Conference indoor mile and Craig Boydston, third in the

indoor meet, against Minnesota's Norris Peterson and Mike Elwell. Peterson and

Elwell finished 1-2, with Assenheimer third, in the indoor meet with the Cats.

Peterson, of course, is better known for his prowess in the two-mile. He

has won the Conference crown in that event the past two years and recorded his best

time ever (8:58.7) in the Drake Relays last weekend.

Peterson isn't the only Gopher who has been making rapid strides of late.

lilt looks as if some of our boys are ready to make some big moves," Griak points

out. liThe stiff' competition down at the Kansas and Drake Relays really helped us. II

Singled out for their recent improvement were Byron Gigler who ran his

best high hurdles race ever at Drake, recording a :14.0 time, Mike Gillham in the

440, Tom Barnes in both the shot and discus, Tom Heinonen and Dave Wegner in the

distance events and a pair of' pole vaulters -- Larry Mueller and John Shaffer.

Mueller vaulted 15-3 in practice this week, over two inches better than the Big Ten

record, and Shaffer reached 14-9. ### Mailed April 28, 1965 For release on receipt.

MINNEAPOLIS. - The availability of quarterback John Hanldnson remains in doubt

for Saturday's University of Minnesota Spring football game at Memorial Stadium.

The annual intra-squad battle starts at 2 p.m. with proceeds from ticket sales going

to the Williams Scholarship Fund which PrOvides scholarships for worthy Gopher

student-athletes.

Hankinson, Minnesota's record-breaking passer, suffered a shoulder injury in

last Saturday's scrimmage. Though not considered serious, the ailment hampered

him earlier in the week and could keep him out of action Saturday or at least

restrict his competition.

Curt Wilson, a fast improving sophomore from Lawton, Oklahoma, is the likely

replacement for Hanldnson on the "Maroon" team. Larry Carlson, another soph from

Williston, N. D., is expected to be the starting signal-caller for the ''Whites.''

The rest of the tentative starting lineup for the "Maroons" features Bob

Bruggers, left end; Don Rosen, left tackle; Tom Linstroth, left guard; Charley

Killian, center; Brian Callahan, right guard; Gale Gillingham, right tackle;

Aaron Brown, right end; Dave Colburn, left half; Charley Sanders, right half; and

Joe Holmberg, fullback.

In addition to Carlson, the probable ''White'' lineup will go something like

this: Tom Langseth, left end; McKinley Boston, left tackle; Dennis Zelinski,

left guard; Jim Barle, center; Dick Sullivan, right guard; Jim Fulgham, right

tackle; Chet Anderson, right end; Hubie Bryant, left half; Bobby Lee, right half;

and Ed Christian, fullback. The "Maroons IT will have a considerable edge in experience, if this lineup holds, with only two sophomores listed on the starting team - Linetroth and

Sanders (three if' Wilson starts). By contrast, the No. 1 "White IT eleven will consist largely of first-year men - Langseth, Boston, Zelinski, Bryant, Lee and Carlson.

Among the highlights of Saturday I s contest will be the unveiling of these and a number of other sophs, many of whom will have to come through if the Gophers are to be a strong Big Ten entry next fall.

A special ha.lf-time ceremony will honor Bert Baston, former Gopher end and coach who won all-American recognition 50 years ago.
