liThe Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The big boys get together this weekend for three games that

could go a long way toward. deciding who will be the 1964 Big Ten champion.

~ehigan's unbeaten Wolverines (6-0) invade Delta Field Friday for a 3:30

single game with the Gophers (5-1)" currently tied for the runnerup spot with

Michigan State. The Spartans come to town Saturday for a climactic doubleheader,

starting at 1 p.m.

Gopher coach is a bit apprehensive. ''We'll have to the ball

a whole lot better this weekend than we did against or we're in trouble," he

warns. The Gophers managed to take three straight from the visiting Hawkeyes last

weekend by 9-2, 4-0 and 2-0 despite collecting only 12 hits off Iowa hurling.

"Our pitching was excellent against Iowa," Siebert declares. "Frank Brosseau,

Joe Pollack and Dick Mielke all threw extremely well." Pollack and Mielke tossed

Shutouts, a one-hitter and two-hitter respectively.

"Pitching has been our strong suit all spring," Siebert continues. "I can't recall when I've had a pitching staff with a collective earned average of 2.CJ7 •

That's fantastic."

Brosseau leads the starters with a 1.50 ERA, Mielke is 1.60 and Pollack 1.87.

Oddly enough, reliefer Dan HOWard has the best mark on the staff - 1.30 - but

hasn't seen any Big Ten action as yet because of the brilliant work of the starting

rotation which has produced five complete games in six tries.

"Our defense was tight against Iowa and theirs wasn't," Siebert points out.

"Without their help, we probably wouldn't have swept the series. We only had one

earned run in the doubleheader Saturday, a by (shortstop Dick) McCullough." DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455

"The Gophers"

HINNEAPOLIS. - Wisconsin's powerful track squad again provides the competition

for Roy Griak's University of ltinnesota cindermen Saturday at Madison. The talented

Badgers, a top Big Ten title threat, bested both Minnesota and Iowa by a wide

margin in a triangular meet at Iowa City last weekend.

Although his team finished third by a single point in the meet, Griak was

encouraged by a number of individual performances. Had it not been for the loss of

Big Ten indoor two-mile champ Norris Peterson in both distance events, the Gophers

would have been runnerup by a comfortable margin. Peterson has been feeling under

par for a couple of weeks and did not compete.

"Our ldds ran real well against Iowa, If Griak points out. ''We should be

able to make things interesting for Wisconsin this week, providing Peterson is able

to run."

Griak thinks the Gophers can put up a battle in the distance events with

Peterson and the fut-improving Mike Elwell, the 880 with Ray Miller, Wayne Thronson

and Carl Jones, the high hurdles with Byron Gigler, the 100 and 220 with Bill

Stevens and the shot and discus wi.th Tom Barnes. Barnes swept both events at Iowa

City to pick up the Gophers' only firsts while Thronson and Stevens were runnerups

in the 880 and 100 respectively.

The Badgers are loaded in the hurdles, 440 and all the field events. They

are probably weakest in the 100 and 220: 0

In addition to the illness of Peterson, Gopher quarter-miler Bart Uplinger

has been slow to recover from a pre-season bout with mononucleosis.

## Two Gophers are nursing injuries. Outfielder Alan Druskin, one of the

hitting surprises of the oampaign, suffered a jammed finger Friday and missed both

Saturday games. Siebert hopes he'll be available for the upcoming series. Regular

shortstop Steve Schneider is sidelined with a shoulder injury suffered in the first

game Saturday. He's currently -..ring the shoulder in a sling and is oonsidered

doubtful for the invasion of the Michigan teams. If he can I t play, McCullough will get the call at short.

Despite a poor weekend at the plate, sophomore outfielder Dave Hoffman

continues to pace Gopher hitters with a .355 mark. He is followed by Bill Davis with .329 and Druskin with .304.

liThe Gophers"

NINNEAPOLIS. - The University of ltinnesota tennis team returns Friday to

Evanston, the scene of its 9-0 defeat at the hands of Big Ten title favorite

Northwestern last weekend. The Gophers play Northwestern and Ohio State there

Friday before traveling to Wheaton, Ill. for a Saturday match with \fueaton College.

Gopher coach Don Lewis was not disheartened by his team's loss to the

\'1ildcats. "Despite being shut out, we played well against Northwestern," he

explains. "I think this is borne out by the performance of sophomore Jerry

Noyce who gave l1a.rty Riessen a real battle before losing 10-8." Riessen is a

two-time Big Ten singles champ and twice runnerup in the NCAA.

Lewis was not as happy with the Gophers' showing in the 9-0 setback

administered by Hichigan last Friday or with their 5-4 victory over Purdue

Saturday, both matches also being played at Evanston.

'We actually looked better against Northwestern than we did in beating

Purdue," he contends.

Le~ds thinIcs his squad has a good chance of beating Ohio State this weekend.

''Vie look about even on paper," he says. The Gophers already have defeated Wheaton,

taking a 6-3 decision here in April.

Minnesota's overall record is now 6-10-1 and 2-5 in Big Ten play.

"The Gophers"

l-fINNEAPOLIS. - Saturday's showdown at Delta Field between Minnesota and

Michigan State, currently tied for runnerup honors in the Big Ten baseball race with

5-1 records will feature J among other things, a battle of former major league players

who are now collegiate diamond masterminds - coaches Dick Siebert of the Gophers

and Danny Litwhiler of the Spartans.

Siebert, who has guided ~.innesota fortunes since 1948, was regular first

baseman for the Philadelphia Athletics from 1938 to 1945 and saw service with the

St. Louis Cardinals before that. He finished his career with a .290 lifetime

batting average and played on the American League squad in the 1942 All-Star game.

He was one of the few batters who gave Cleveland IS great Bob Feller a bad time

during Feller'e illustrious early years in the majors. His Minnesota teams have

won four Big Ten crowns and two NCAA titles.

Litwhiler is in his first year as coach of the Spartans but he is no stranger

to collegiate baseball. He coached at Florida State for nine years, fashioning a

record of 189 wins and only 81 losses. He had no losing seasons. Seven of his

teams played in NCAA district playoffs and three in collegiate world series,

iDcluding last year's classic. He was a major leaguer for 12 years, seeing action

with the Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Braves and Cincinnati

Reds before retiring as a player in 1951. He was with the Cards in the 1943 and

'44 World Series and was a all-star in the same game in which

Siebert competed.

The two old pros will be playing for high stakes Saturday. If either team

can score a sweep, it will be assured of staying in the thick of contention for the

Big Ten flag. The first game gets underway at 1 p.m. I I~ Mailed May 6, 1964 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Not many people expected e1ther Minnesota or Michigan to cut

much of a tigure in the Big Ten baseball race this spring. Yet Friday afternoon

they'll be playing for the Conference lead at Delta Field, starting at 3:30.

"Michigan has been a surprise, II Gopher coach Dick Siebert acknowledges.

IIThey hadn't been expected to do too well this year and they didn't look too good

until the Big Ten got underway. Since then, they've been going great guns." Indeed they have. The Wolverines stand 6-0 for undisputed control ot first

place. They've been getting both tremendous pitching and timely hitting. Their

Big Ten victories have been at the expense of Wisconsin 6-1, Northwestern 7-1 and

B-1, Purdue 4-3 and Illinois 14-1 and ll-3.

Mirmesota (5-1 in Big Ten play) basn't exactly been pushed around since

returning from its unhappy trip to Texas either. The Gophers have won 16 of 17

starts during that stretch, including Big Ten wins over Illinois 4-2 and 6-2 and

Iowa 9-2, 4-0 and 2-0. Their lone Conference loss was to Purdue 3-2. The Wolverines are expected to start ace letthand.er Clyde Barnhart against

the Gophers, although Jim. Bobel, a righthander" 1s a possibility. Frank Brosseau will be the Minnesota starter.

Things won't be any easier tor the Gophers Saturday when Michigan State

provides the oppoa:t:t1on in a doubleheader scheduled tor 1 p.m. The Spartans are

tied with the Maroon and Gold tor secorxl place but Siebert teels they are may be tougher than Michigan.

IIIt I had to pick a probable wilmer in the Big Ten, I'd have to go with

Michigan State, II says Siebert•• "They've got great hitting and good pitching." The veteran Spartans, unlike the Wolverines and Gophers, were ranked among the title top contendere before the season started. They boast probably the best 1-2 hitting punch in the league in outfielder Joe Porrevecchio and first baseman Jerry Sutton.

Minnesota will be without its regular shortstop, sophomore Steve Schn61der, in the weekend activity. He suffered a minor fracture of a bone in his shoulder last week. Junior Dick McCullough will replace him.

Another casualty, regular rightfielder Alan Drusldn, is probably lost, too, due to a fractured thumb.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - There weren't many pre-season experts brash enough to predict

that Minnesota's green baseball team would be atop the Big Ten standings with better

than half the season behind it, but that's where the amazing Gophers are today. To

stay there, they'll have to win on the road this weekend against a couple of tough

opponents - Indiana on Friday and Ohio State Saturday.

If they can weather this rugged assignment, they'll face their last Conference

competition at home the following weekend against Northwestern and Wisconsin.

Ohio State and Indiana were both rated among the top contenders before the

season' got underway but have lacked consistency and are currently tied with Michigan

State, Purdue and Wisconsin for third place on 5-4 records. Michigan faces Michigan State in a key three-game series this weekend. Instead

of the usual Friday-Saturd~ schedule, however, the intra-state rivals will play a

doubleheader at Ann Arbor Saturday and a single game at East Lansing Monday.

Minnesota's veteran mentor Dick Siebert was understandably delighted by his

squad I s sweep last Saturday of a doubleheader from Michigan State I s highly-regarded

Spartans which boosted the Gophers (7-1) into a deadlock for the top with the

Wolverines. The scheduled Friday single game between the current co-leader was

rained out.

"Tremendous pitching and (shortstop Dick) McCullough were the keys to our success

Saturday," Siebert explains. "Joe Pollack and Frank Brosseau pitched tremendous

ball, and Mac made several big league plays at short. II ------~~-- - - - .- --

McCullough, who made eight putouts and 10 assists without an error, won himself a regular job in the process. A junior with a superlative arm, Mac had been relegated to the bench after a dismal showing in Texas back in March. He filled in for the injured Steve Schneider Saturday and gave notice he has no intention of relinquishing the shortstop spot.

Another hero was right fielder Alan Druskin who, despite pl¢ng with a fractured thumb, swatted four hits in five appearances, including two doubles and a homer.

Druskin boosted his batting average to .353, tops for the team.. Still another was star third baseman Jerry Cawley who drove in the tying runs in both games.

Siebert, not surprisingly, plans no lineup changes for this weekend. The infield will have Bill Davis at first, Capt. Dewey Markus at second, McCullough at short and Jerry Cawley at third. The outfield will feature Dave Hoffman in left, Archie Clark in center and Druskin in, right. Ron Wojciak will do the catching. Brosseau will start the Friday game while Pollack and Dick Mielke will get the call Saturd~.

The Gopher pitching staff lowered its collective earned run average to 2.04 over the weekend. Brosseau is tops with",l.27, followed by reliefer Dan Howard with 1.30, Pollack 1.74 and l1i.elke 1.93.

Trailing Druskin ia the hitting department are Hoffman with .337 and Davis with .329.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota's track team runs on its new Kalite track surface for

the first time in competition Saturday when it entertains defending Big Ten champion

Iowa in its only home outdoor meet of the year, starting at 1:30 p.m.

The new surface is a m:ixture of finely crushed rock and clay tile held together

by a special binder clay. It replaces cinders which have been in short supply in

recent years.

Minnesota will be facing Iowa for the third time in the outdoor campaign. The

teams split in their two earlier meetings, the Gophers winning by a single point

at Iowa City and the Hawkeyes reversing the outcome by the salle margin two weekends

ago, also at Iowa City.

"It should be another real close meet, just like the first two, II predicts

Gopher coach Roy Griak. Iowa is strongest in the sprints and middle distance events

while the Gophers appear to have the edge in the distance and field events.

The Gophers lost to WisCD nsin by a convincing 93-47 margin last Saturday but

Griak was not dismayed. "We knew Wisconsin had too much depth for us," explains

Griak. "We didn't have anyone entered in the broad jump or 440, but outside of

those events and a poor showing in the high hurdles, we gave them a battle."

Gopher firsts were taken by Bill Stevens in the 100 yard dash, Wayne Thronson in the sao, Tom Barnes in the shot and Big Ten indoor champion Norris Peterson in the two-mile.

One of the brightest spots was the performance of Burt Ewing who captured second in the intermediate hurdles in his first competition of the:year. Not so pleasant was the absence of quarter-mi1er Bar Uplinger who was sidelined by a recurrence of mononuc1eousis which hespitalized him for several weeks earlier in the year. Griak hopes he'll be ready for Iowa. Still another bad break for the Gophers is the loes of half-mi1er Carl Jones who has dropped out of school.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Members of high school golf squads will have a high

priority in the selection of caddies for the 45th annual

golf championships at the University of Minnesota course May 22-23.

Les Bolstad, coach of Minnesota's defending Big Ten championship team

and a two-time witmer of the Conference individual title, points out that

caddying in a tournament of this calibre will enable high school golfers to

gain valuable lmowledge and experience.

Bruce Anderson, tournament Chairman, indicates that 60 caddies will

be needed for the two-day tournament. Boys interested in participating should

call Roy Tutt in the University Athletic Department, 373-4200. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Les Bolstad' 8 University of Minnesota golf team entertains

old rivals Wisconsin and Iowa Saturday at the University Course in its first

home Big Ten competition of the season. The action gets underway bright and

early at 8:30 a.m.

The defending Big Ten champion Gophers hope for a better showing than

was their fate at Iowa City last weekend when they finished last in a field

of eight in a medal play tournament won by Notre Dame. Among the teams which

finished ahead of the Maroon and Gold were this week's opponents. The

Hawkeyes were fourth and fifth.

Capt. Dave Gumlia was the only Gopher to finish in the top eight at

Iowa City. His 156 was good for a sixth-place tie with Notre Dame's

Pat Danahry and Iowa's Joe McEvoy. Gumlia, who finished second in the

Big Ten a year ago, will be Minnesota's chief threat against the Badgers and

Hawkeyes.

Wisconsin I s Bill Iverson finished ahead of Gumlia last Saturday by a

single stroke to tie for third With two other players.

The Gophers will host the Big Ten golf meet on Friday and Saturday

of next week. ------

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota's tennis team warms up for next week's Big Ten

conference meet by hosting Indiana, Michigan State and Wisconsin in a quadrangular meet at the University courts Friday and Saturday. Friday's schedule finds Michigan State meeting Uisconsin at 9:30 a.m. while

Minnesota battles Wisconsin and State goes against Indiana at 1:30 p.m. Saturda.y morning matches include Minnesota vs. Michigan State and Indiana ve. Wisconsin, both at 9:30. An afternoon clash between Minnesota and Indiana will wind things up starting at 1:30.

The Gophers will face some mighty rugged competition. Both Indiana and

Michigan State are rated among the Big Ten I s best. Wisconsin is considered weaker.

''\tIe can beat Wisconsin if we play our best, but we'll have to make sure

it I s our top effort, II says Gopher coach Don Lewis. I~le III be definite underdogs against the other two clubs.

Minnesota wound up a frustrating road trip last weekend by losing to

Uheaton 6-2 Sat1.1rday. Earlier they were drubbed 9-0 by Northwestern and lost a 7-2 decision to Ohio State. The Buckeye defeat was much closer than the score would indicate, however. Several of the singles matches were tight affairs with

state winning by narrow margins. Mailed May 13, 1964 For release upon receipt.

MINNEAPOLIS. - If a "Floyd of Rosedale II trophy were awarded

for excellence in track, it would be up for grabs Saturday when

Minnesota entertains Iowa at Memorial Stadium in the Gophers' only home outdoor track meet of the season.

As it is, there will be no trophy, but there should be a mighty close track meet. The Gophers edged the Hawkeyes by one

point in a dual meet at Iowa City earlier in the season and the Iowans turned the tables two weekends ago in a triangular meet won

by Wisconsin, also at Iowa City.

Field events get underway at 1:.30 with the running events to

MINNEAPOLIS. - No less an authority than Les Bolstad, coach ot the University of Minnesota golf' team that will be detending its Big Ten title, views Purdue as

the odds-on tavorite in the Conference golf' championship tournament to be played

over the University course Friday and Saturday, May 22 - 23.

"All you have to do is look at the record, and you have the reasons I pick

Purdue, II says Bolstad. lI'lhe Boilermakers always pertorm well in this meet. They

have won it tive times in the last nine years. This season they have a record of

20 wins against a single loss. No other team can come close to this. II Bolstad believes that the other nine teams are tairly evenly matched.

Leading performer tor Purdue is Terry Winter, a junior who last Y'ear as a sophomore was named to the Golf' Coaches Association All America squad. He tied

teannnate Bob O'Block tor the Indianapolis District amateur champiDnship" then lost

in the playoft. Winter tired rounds ot 71 - 67 in the recent Big State meet at Notre Dame. 0 'Block is a two-time Western PeJ1nS71vania high school champion, a title once held by Arnold Palmer. Still another Purdue standout is sophomore Rick

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Despite his team's lackluster 2-10 record in E1g Ten dual meet competition this spring.. t-tinnesota tennis coach Don Lewis thinks the Gophers could finish as high as fitth in the Conference meet at Champaign.. Ill. this

weekend - if they play up to their potential and it they have a 11ttle luck in the pre-meet draw.

'We put all our eggs in one basket this time.. " declares Lewis. "It's the orUJ meet that counts as far as ranking in the Big Ten is concerned. We'll need a

good draw to finish fUth or sixth.. but it we get a shot at some players in our

class.. we could do it. II

Minnesota's chief' threat will be No. 1 man Jerry Noyce .. a sophomore who has been the Gophers' most consistent winner this spring.

Gopher singles players to be entered in the meet, in addition to Noyce ..

are co-eaptains l.fac Lutz and Chuck Mikkelson, Dave Rosenberg, Brian Lawson and

Jerry Krause. All except Krause also will compete in the doubles, along with Tom Boice.

Lewis pegs defending champion Northwestern as the favorite for the crown..

with Michigan and Indiana vying for second. "Atter that, it could be a scramble," he says.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Encouraged by the Gophers' one-sided victory over Iowa last

weekend, Roy Griak hopes his University of Minnesota track team may be able to equal

its fUth-place Conference indoor finish in the outdoor Big Ten meet at Evanston,

Illinois Friday and Saturday.

At any rate, prospects are good that the Gophers will be able to surpass the

seventh-place performance which was their lot in last year's outdoor meet here.

Chances of rising higher than fifth, however, are slim.

"Michigan is the favorite but should get a close run from Wisconsin, II says

Griak. The Wolverines captured the indoor title back in 1tIarch. Griak expects

Illinois and Michigan State also to be strong.

Top Gopher point prospects include Norris Peterson, the surprise indoor champion

in the two-mile run; Tom Barnes, who failed to place in the indoor shot put, but has

a good chance in that event as well as the discus; Wayne Thronson and Ray Miller in

the 880; Bill Stevens in the 100 and 220 yard dashes; Byron Gigler in the high and

intermediate hurdles; Burt Ewing, in the intermediates.

In addition, fast-improving Mike Elwell is considered a threat in the mile and Creighton Fleming in the 660. Wendell Bjorklund and basketballer Don Yates are

conceded outside chances of placing 10 the high jump, if they can get up to 6-4.

Yates surprised against Iowa by clearing 6-2 and almost making 6-4 in his first collegiate competition.

Griak was well pleased with the Gophers I 86-44 Win over Iowa. "I had expected a real close meet, with a lO-point margin for the winner at most," he explains. lilt

was the best day we've had all spring. We received exceptional performances right

down the line. II ### l'Iay 19, 1964

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - All the marbles are up for grabs this weekend as the Big Ten

baseball race goes down to the wire with no less than four teams still in the running

for the crown - llichigan, Minnesota, Ohio State and Wisconsin.

Runnerup Minnesota (8-3) entertains Northwestern (4-8) in a single game Friday

at Delta Field, starting at 3:30 p.m. and Wisconsin (8-4) in a twin bill Saturday

at 1 p.m. The Badgers are currently tied for third with Ohio State, last weekend's conqueror of the Gophers.

Front-running Michigan (9-2) plays host to Ohio State Friday and Indiana in a doubleheader Saturday. The Bucks draw Michigan State for two at East Lansing Saturday.

The Spartans prevented the Wolverines from taking a stranglehold on first place

by salvaging the third game of their intra-state series Monday 3-2. Had Michigan

won that one, it would have entered the final weekend wi.th a two-game advantage

over Minnesota. Thus, it could have lost two out of three and still been assured of no worse than a title tie.

As it stands now, the Gophers could tie by winning all three of its remaining games while the Wolverines drop one. A deadlock for the top would give Minnesota the nod tor an NCAA berth since the Gophers have not competed in the NCAA playdown since 1960 while the Wolverines went two years ago. "Michigan's loss gives us a chance," says Gopher coach Dick Siebert. 'We'd

have been in pretty tough shape if they had won. It t s still going to be an uphill

fight but with a little help from Ohio or Indiana, we could do it." Siebert was disappointed by his squad's heartbreaking loss to the

Buckeyes but still feels that the Gophers played well and that the outcome could easily have been reversed. He takes nothing away from Ohio, however. IIThey're tough," he allows. "They'll be tough for Michigan, too. II No lineup changes are on tap for the Gophers this weekend except for the return of pitcher Dick Mielke to the starting rotation. He is slated to start the Northwestern game while Joe Pollack and Frank Brosseau will try to keep Wisconsin in check. The Badgers have the most dangerous hitter in the Big Ten in Rick

Reichardt who sports a .550 average in Big Ten play. He bashed three homeruns in Wisconsin's twin victories over Illinois last Saturday.

"The Gophers"

The vanguard of the field of 60 competitors in the 45th annual Big Ten

Golf' championship tournament began arriving in the Twin Cities today, with the

balance due to get in practice rounds over the University of Minnesota course Thursday.

Competition will begin Thursday when 36 holes of medal play are

scheduled, followed by an additional 36 holes on Saturday. Six players will

compete for the 10 schools entered, with the five lowest scores in each rotmd

counting toward the team championship. The player with the lowest 72-hole card will be named individual champion to succeed Roger Eberhardt of Wisconsin who won the title a year ago at l'Iadison. Eberhardt has since completed his competition.

lvIinnesota's Dave Gumlia of Crosby and Terry \'linter of Purdue are co-favorites for

the individual laurels. The University of Minnesota team. coached by Les Bolstad,

himself a two-time former individual winner, is the defending champion. A strong

Purdue outfit with a 22 - 1 record in dual meets this season is regarded as the

team to beat. Indiana, the only team to beat the Boilermakers, is also accorded

a chance in the pre-meet predictions. Indiana is coached by Bob Fitch, former

University of Hi.nnesota track and football star. Fitch at one time held the world record i.n the discus throw. UNIVERSITY OF MIIDmSOTA 1964 FINAL REGULAR SEASON BASEBAlL STATISTICS (36 gailleS - including games through 5/23/64 HITTING: FIEIDING:

liThe Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Dick Siebert's fifth Big Ten baseball championship in nine

years provided the big surprise for the University of Hinnesota in Conference

competition this spring.

The baseball Gophers, who were not considered contenders before the campaign

started, replaced the golf team as Minnesota's only spring champion. The linksmen

lost their crown to Purdue and dropped to fourth but turned in a highly respectable

score of 1,524, just one stroke above last year's championship total.

Both the track and tennis teams came in eighth in their respective meets.

The baseba11ers won the right to enter NCAA district playoff competition

this weekend by COj:rl.ng through in the clutch with three victories over Northwestern

and vlisconsin last Friday and Saturday while Nichigan obliged by dropping two of

three. The Uolyerines had entered the weekend's action with a one game lead over

the Gophers.

Brilliant pitching by Dick Mielke, Frank Brosseau and Joe Pollack limited the

Wildcats and Badgers to a total of one run in the three games.

Siebert's other Big Ten cro~nlS came in 1956, '58, '59 and '60. His teams

captured NCAA titles in '56 and '60.

Minnesota's top perfo:rT.1aJ.'1ce in the Big Ten golf tournament, played at the

University course last Friday and Saturday, was turned in by Capt. Dave Gumlia, who

repeated as indiyidual l'Unnel'Up. His score of 294 l'/as four strokes off the winning

mark of Indiana's Byron Comstock and was four lower than his own score last year.

DistClJ'1.c'.e runner Norris Peterson narrowly missed adding the Big Ten ourdoor two-mile crO~M to his indoor title when he finished second to Chris Murray of IJichigan in t.he most thrilling event of the Conference outdoor track meet. Other Gopher point-getters were Tom Barnes, fifth in the discus and fourth in the shot, and Wayne Thronson, fourth in the 880. Mailed May 25, 1964 For release upon receipt.

~'lord has been received through the Greater University Fund of the University

of Hinnesota that the Henry L. Uilliarns Scholarship Fund is to be enriched by

010,000 as the result of a bequest made in the will of the recent~ deceased widow

of Uilliam S. Kienholz who lettered in football at The University in 189S-99. Hr.

Kienho1z died in September, 1958 at Seattle, llashington.

by Hirmesota student-athletes who have completed at least a year's work at the

University, and are maintaining a B-plus or 3.0 grade average in academic work.

More than 400 participants in l-Iinnesota's intercollegiate athletic program have

benefitted from the fund. Among them are Paul Gie1, Dick Garmaker, Tom Brown,

\ially Richardson, \-lillie Costanza and Larry Stordahl.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Lest everyone think that the Kent State baseball team which

battles the University of ltIinnesota for the NCAA District Four crown at Kent, Ohio

this weekend is a "soft touch, II Gopher Coach Dick Siebert hastens to point out that

such definitely is not the case.

"They could be the toughest team we've faced all year, II he states. llTheir record indicates that they are."

That record includes a sparkling 18-2 full season mark and an equa.lly glittering Mid-America Conference figure of 10-1, good for a share of the league title. It also includes a 6-3 victory over eo-champion Ohio University in a playoff game for the right to enter District competition. Among Kent State's feats were 6-0 and 4-0 victories over l'lestern Michigan, conqueror of Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan State. The upcoming series marks the first time that the Gophers have played the

Golden Flashes in baseball. The opener in the best of three-game series starts at

3 p.m. Friday. The second contest is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday with a third

game to follow, if needed.

Kent State's credentials include a strong hitting attack, an adequate defense and a frugal pitching staff. Top hitters are shortstop Jim Hurphy (.397), first

baseman Gerry Hudeo (.377) and catcher Joe Santora (.345). Leading pitchers include Dave Lopatich, a lefthander, who has the best earned run average (1.31) and a 4-1 record, and righthanders Dan Norris (2.16, 5-0), Bob Haworth (1.84, 4-0) and Larry Rosche (2.96, 3-0). Haworth was named to the All-District Four second team, along with rightfielder Andy Aljancic. Second-sacker Jim Thomas was a first team selection. The Gophers leave for Kent by chartered plane late Thursday afternoon. They will return Saturday night but departure depends on whether two or three games will be required to detenni1"~ the champion. -0------_.. _-

"The Gophers"

lIINNEAPOLIS. - Can the University of Mirmesota baseball team pursue its

Cinderella story to a happy ending in the NCAA College \'lorld Series at Omaha

June 8-32?

Coacb Dick Siebert, while reluctant to make arry predictions, thinks his squad

must be conceded a chance of doing just that.

"If our pitching continues to come through the way it has all season and if

we can maintain the hitting form we showed at Kent State last weekend, lId have to

say we have a chance, II Siebert admits. "But remember, we'll be up against the best

teams in the country. Several of them will have good chances to win, too. II

Hinnesota draws Texas A & H, champion of the Southwestern Conference, in the opening round ot the double elimination tournament Honday, June S. The Aggies twice

defeated the Gophers in Texas last Uarch by scores of 3-2 and 7-2, but },Iinnesota was

far from the team it subsequently became. Testimony to this can be found in the

seven errors conmitted by the Gophers in the second game.

The Gophers added the District Four title to their Big Ten crown last weekend

by downing Kent State twice 7-4 and 13-2. The clincher came when lti.nnesota scored

10 runs in the first two innings ot the secorxl game.

"The most pleasing part ot our performance was the fact that we started to

hit better, II Siebert notes. IIThis should give some of the boys a little extra shot

in the arm for the NCAA tourney."

Among those who wielded hot bats were Bill Davis, the regular season Gopher batting champ, who flailed away at a .556 clip for the series, Steve Schneider (.500), ------~-

•

Archie Clark (.429), Jerry Cawley (.400), Dave Hoffman (.375) and Ron l'lojciak (.333).

The performances of Clark and Cawley were especially encouraging since both had

been in slumps.

Schneider returned to the starting lineup at short for the first time since

breaki.ng his shoulder several weeks ago. A lefthanded hitter, he is likely to be

platooned with Dick HcCullough, a righthander, in the tournament.

Both Joe Pollack and Frank Brosseau earned Siebert's praise for their pitching

stints against Kent State. Pollack didn't give up an earned run and struck out II

in winning the second game, while Brosseau survived one bad inning and shut out

the Golden Flashes the rest of the way in the opener. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA 1964 District IV Playoffs (2 galilee)

"The Gophers"

lIINNEAPOLIS. - Formation of a four-team sUDll1er baseball league designed to

develop collegiate talent in the Upper ¥.i.dwest" was announced today by University

of llinnesota baseball coach Dick Siebert, who was inst:rumental in organizing the

league.

The league, to be known as the Midwest Collegiate Baseball League" will operate

teams in three conmunities - Breckenridge-Uahpeton, Little Falls and vladena - with

a fourth clUb" the Twin City Travellers" to be based in Uirmeapolis. The Travellers

will be strictly a travelling team and will play all their games in the other three

cities.

Talent for the league will be drawn from ¥.i.nnesota" Wisconsin, Iowa and the

Dakotas.

Adhering strictly to NCAA rules, the league will require that all players hold

forty-hour-per-week jobs in addition to their baseball competition. A regular season schedule of 30 games is planned. Each team, except the

Travellers, will play four games per week - on Tuesday" Thursday" Saturday and

Sunday nights. The Travellers will play on Thursday, Saturday and SUIlday nights only.

The regular campaign will open June 20 and close August 9. It will be followed

by a best two-out-of-three game playorf, involving all four teams" which will end about August 20.

Tryouts for the teams will be held June 15-18 in Hinneapolis. Players will be

recruited from colleges and junior coUeges in Minnesota" North and South Dakota"

northern Iowa and western \visconsin. In addition to college players who have eligibility remaining, the tryouts will be open to: 1. Players vdth good ability who have just finished their collegiate eligibility and have not signed professional contracts.

2. High school graduates who have not yet matriculated in any college. In the case of those who still have American Legion baseball eligibility remaining, they must have the written consent of their Legion Post Athletic Officer before they will be permitted to tryout. Coaches of the four teams, together with a representative from each city in the league, will select the personnel. Talent will be equalized as much as possible among the four squads. Each city will receive 12 players -- four pitchers plus one player at each of the other eight positions - and will be allowed to supplement its roster with three players from its mm vicinity.

The four coaches are: Breckenridg~1ahpeton- Ken Staples, Robbinsdale High School coach; Little Falls -- Elmer Kohorst, St. John's Prep (Collegeville) coach; Travellers -- Pete Kramer, St. Paul Johnson coach; Vladena - Glenn Gostick, University of }tuxnesota assistant coach.

"The Gophers"

lIINNEAPOLIS. - Pitching could well be the key to the double elimination NCAA

College l10rld Series which gets underway at Omaha next l:Ionday. It so ha ppens that

this department has been the University of l-Iinnesota's strongest suit this spring.

Such a coincidence could have far-reaching consequences.

Gopher coach Dick Siebert has great confidence in his pitching staff which was the best in the Big Ten but warns that Uinnesota will be up against some pretty fair

hurling, too. Furthemore, he points out that the eA"Cellence of the Gopher starters

could actually have had a deteriorating effect on the rest of the staff.

The starting trio of Joe Pollack, Frank Brosseau and Dick Hielke was 80

affective during the Dig Ten campaign that reliefers ''lere called on just three

times, and on one occasion a starter, Brosseau, got the nod. Starters also went

the distance in both games of last lteek's District Four tournament.

Such a prolonged period of inactivity can't help but create a little rust.

Siebert hopes it won't be too much. Top reliefers on the Gopher staff are lefthander

Dan Howard and Tom Lindberg, a righthander. Howard's only action since April was in an

abbreviated starting role against Ohio State. Lindberg has been used twice in relief',

once ear],y in the season and again near the end.

Both Howard and Lindberg are good pitchers and Siebert feels they will do a creditable job, when needed. Howard has a 1.66 earned run average while Lindberg ian't far behind with 1.93.

These figures compare favorably with those of the starting rotation. Bielke

has the best season's mark (1.62), followed by Pollacl: (1.78) and Brosseau (2.03). ,

Hielke also boasts the best won-lost record (7-0 for the season). Pollack is 8-2

and Brosseau 6-1.

Pollack Vlas the most effective of all during the Conference race, however.

He was the Big Tenls best hurler, allowing opposing batters a paltry .122 batting

average (lOl/est in the league) and fashioning a gaudJr 1.50 ERA. He also set a Big Ten record by a110vdng only 17 hits. For his pains, he was named to the No. 1

all-conference honor team.

Brosseau was close behind. He allowed opposing hitters a .172 batting average

and wound up ldth a 1.56 ERA. Nielke I s earned run mark was 1.74. League batters

compiled a .194 percentage against him. Overall the Gopher staff allo'Vled the

opposition a meager .170 batting average and posted a 1•.67 ERA.

The Gophers leave for Omaha by plane Sunday afternoon. They will play Texas

A &M in the first round at 2 p.m. (CST). Pollack is slated to get the starting

assignment.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - How strong is the Texas A & M team that meets Mirmesota in the first round of the NCAA College \'forld Series at Omaha next Monday?

"They must be tough, II says Gopher coach Dick Siebert. "I haven't had a chance

to study the club in any detail yet, but their statistics indicate they have good hitting and pitching." Indeed they have. Among other assets the Southwestern Conference champions

boast the league batting champ in Lance Cobb, a sophomore who compiled a .383

Conference mark and a .380 percentage for the season, and a couple of first rate

pitchers, Steve Hillhouse and Chuck McGuire, who have Conference and season earned

run averages just slightly over 1.00.

The Aggi.es have three other regulars with averages above .300 for the year.

They are first baseman Frank Stark (.357), left fielder Allan Koonce (.346) and third baseman George Hargett (.303). Other good hitting regulars are catcher Bill

Hancock (.294) and shortstop Jerry Ballard (.271).

Texas A & M got off to a mediocre start in Conference play, losing two of its

first three games. It rebounded, largely due to some robust hitting, and wotmd up

with a record of 12-3. Overall, the Aggies stand 19-6. Included among their victories are two over the Gophers. One of them was a 3-2 victory over Joe Pollack who went on to become the Big Ten's best pitcher. "I think Pollack will be ready for them this time," says Siebert. He'll get his

chance Monday when the teams meet at 2 p.m. (CST).

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Maybe there's something to this yam about the University of

Minnesota baseball Gophers being an election-year team. At any rate, this year's

Maroon and Gold entry has followed the example of its predecessors of 1956 and '60

and towers supreme in collegiate baseball.

The Gophers won their third NCAA crown by whipping Missouri 5-1 Thursday night"

thereby finally ending the marathon which ran for 11 days in

rainswept Omaha. All three titles have come in national election years.

Coach Dick Siebert was even more elated by his latest conquest than by his earlier victories.

"The '56 and '60 teams were great but neither of them came from so far back as

this club, II Siebert avows. ''When we returned trom our Texas trip in March, my

biggest worry was figuring out how to beat somebody out of ninth place in the Big

Ten. Today we're national champs. It's been a great thrill and a great experience.!l

Gopher heroes were numerous• Five Minnesotans were honored on the all-tournament

team: pitcher Joe Pollack, who won three games, first baseman Bill Davis, second

sacker and captain Duane Markus, outfielder Dave Hoftman and catcher Ron Wojciak.

But even those who didn't win special recognition played big roles in the happy outcome.

Minnesota pitching, a high spot all year, was one of the key factors in the success story. So was fieldling" which although spotty at times, was strong when it had to be -:" especially in the finale lrIhen the Gophers played errorless ball while Missouri committed four bobbles. Hits were in abundance in the opening 7-3 and 12-0 victories over Texas A & M and Maine but less numerous in later outings. Fortunately" they came at the right time. Fina1Jy" great competitive spirit, ability to capitalize on opponent miscues and well-knit teamwork paid dividends. The spirit and teamwork were in large measure the result of the great leadership provided by Siebert and Markus. All of these ingredients combined to produce a IICinderella" story with a happy ending, one that won't soon be forgotten by Minnesota fans. --0- Nailed June 25, 1964 For release upon receipt.

gratifying considering the tremendous canpetition for outstanding athletes

among Conference schools and the fact that Minnesota is on the western

perimeter of the Big Ten area. Those boys who accepted must feel that the

DAVE COLBURN

A handsome young towhead from La Crosse, Wisconsin holds the distinction of

being the first sophomore to break into the University of Minnesota's first-team

backfield. He is Dave Colburn, 175-pound halfback.

Colburn who built something of a reputation for himself at La Crosse Central

high as a sprinter, c~e to the Minnesota campus virtually unheralded as a big-time

college football prospect. He was one of the pleasant surprises of the '63 freshman

squad on which he performed at left half.

llHe caught 'I11:f eye by the natural manner in which he ran the ball in scrimmage

against the varsity," says Minnesota backfield coach Dick Larson.

With Dick Harren, a right halfback regular at the end of the 1963 season,

limping as the result of a knee operation in February, head coach Murray Warmath

decided he wanted some insurance at right half where sophomore Ray vlhitlow and

senior Stan Skjei are in contention. ~fuen the Gophers lined up for their first

practice 'fuesday morning Colburn was listed with the No.1 unit at right halfback

where he alternated with Harren in dUIIIIIIY scrimmage. If Colburn and Whitlow can

demonstrate varSity caliber in the practice sessions ahead, they will relieve much

of the concern over Harren's mee problem and will release Skjei for defensive duty.

It won't surprise the coaching staff at all if their new find from downriver

When football practice opened at the University of Minnesota on September 1 Chet Anderson was regarded as an excellent long-range prospect at end, a position at which the Gophers are well fortified. Today the burly 235-pound sophomore who won all-state honors in basketball and football at Duluth Central is being closely watched by the Minnesota coaching staff as the answer to their desperate quest for tackle talent to replace the departed Ivlilt Sunde and Carl Eller. If Anderson lives up to the expectations of Murray t'larmath and his aides, he will ease one of the most pressing problems confronting the staff. Indications are that Chet will do just this. In his short career at lfdnnesota he has shown the natural ability, competitive makeup, physical ruggedness, and desire that mark a good college football player.

Anderson is currently vying with Jim Fulgham, 6-6, 265 pound giant from Biwabik for the starting assignment at left tackle when Minnesota opens

The lmee troubles which have sidelined Minnesota's veteran right halfback,

Dick Harren, have spelled IIgolden opportunityll for Ray Whitlow. And there is

every indication as the Gophers gird for their September 26 opener with

Nebraska that the stubby (5-9) scooter from Houston, Texas intends to take

At the present the 16O-pound. Whitlow is the only sophomore working with the

Uinnesota first-string lineup. He and another newcomer, Dave Colburn of La Crosse,

vlisconsin are battling for the No. 1 right halfback spot.

Whitlow lettered in football, baseball, and track at Houston's E. E. Worthing

high. He may be another Archie Clark type bonus for Dick Siebert and the

University of Minnesota baseball squad, for his secret ambition is to be a

professional baseball player. Clark, you may recall, came to Minnesota as a

basketball prospect and turned out to be a star of the 1964 NCAA baseball champs.

vlhitlow is enrolled in the College of Education with an intended major in

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Ask Coach Murray Warmath of the University of Minnesota what

quality he rates most highly in a football prospect and he unhesitatingly replies:

"aggressiveness. II

However, he is convinced that maybe this particular trait is being overindulged

by Paul Faust, hard-luck junior guard from Edina.

Paul came to the University three years ago with a strong background in

football. His father, George, was a quarterback on championship Gopher teams of

1936-37-38 right in the heart of Minnesota's IlGolden Era of football. II He

understudied Bud Wilkinson on the national champs of '36, and was top signal-

caller and blocking back on Big Ten title-winning elevens of '37 and '38.

Paul won honors as a fullback on championship teams at Edina high before

matriculating at Minnesota in the fall of 1961. Wally Johnson, freshman coach,

looked on with relish as young Faust gobbled up opposing backs entering his

line-bacldng domain. He passed the word to Warmath: IIHere 1 s a real live hard-nose. II

Faust's eagerness for contact cost him a knee injury that curtailed his frosh

activities.

A jarring, jolting tackle on an opposing back in his sophomore year sent the

former Edina star to the sidelines with a broken hip.

Off to an impressive start last fall, Paul suffered a painful shoulder

separation while belting down a runner who had broken through the line. He was

limited to 75 minutes playing time, and his loss was a severe blow to Minnesota's

defenses.

(MORE) Faust started right after the '63 season to get physically ready for the current campaign. He worked diligently with weights and built himself up from

205 pounds to a solid, muscular 215 by the time practice started September 2.

Last Saturday in the season's first full-scale scrimmage, Gale Gillingham,

230-pound fullback candidate, burst through the first string line, and bolted into Faust territory. Paul accepted the challenge, met Gillingham with a shattering charge that set him back a yard or two, and came out of the collision with a painful shoulder separation. Faust will miss at least two weeks of practice.

1'Iurray vlarmath is not one to encourage his charges to let up, but the word is that he has advised Faust to curtail his bone-brushing activities in the interest of self-preservation. vfuen healthy, he figures to be Minnesota's ace linebacker. On the sideline, he leaves a big hole to be filled in the near secondary.

"The Gophers"

HINNEAPOLIS. - When asked earlier this week by a visiting newsman what progress

he had made in settling on a starting Minnesota lineup for the September 26 opener

with Nebraska, Coach Murray Warmath replied ''We are still searching for the best

men at both tackles, guards, quarterback, right halfback, and fullback.

This means that the Minnesd a squad is still in a state of flux with many

starting assignments still wide open as the first game nears.

In the positions that are considered more or less "set," Bob Bruggers, Kent

Kramer, and Ken Last appear to be pretty well established in that order at left end.

Bruggers, junior from Danube, is the only letterman. At right end lettermen

Aaron Brown and John Rajala, both juniors, and Roger Michalski, hard-working

sophomore from Silver Bay have been listed 1 - 2 - 3 consistently in recent

practices.

Frank March1ewski and Joe Pung, both seniors and two-time lettermen, are

fixtures at center. As long as both remain healthy, liMarchy" will carry the

offensive burden, with Captain Joe Pung specializing on defense. Warmath rates

both players as "highly capab1e" and up to Big Ten standards. The 220-pounds he

is carrying have not slowed Frank's offensive charge while making him more

effective as a blocker.

Unless injuries enter the picture, Bill Crockett, 152-pound senior from Raleigh,

North Carolina is firmly entrenched at left half. He is the backfield corps'

niftiest runner. Both Crockett and Lon Morgan, rated No. 2 at left half, sat out

the '63 season because of scholastic problems, but have apparently regained their competitive edge. While considered a defensive specialist, senior Kraig Lofquist may be called on, because of his advantage in experience, to share offensive left half duties with Crockett and Morgan.

The most competitive position of the moment is fullback where four players are fighting for the starting nod come the September 26 kickoff in Memorial Stadium.

Fred Farthing, 200-pound junior from Omaha, Gale Gillingham, 230-pound junior from

Little Falls, Mike Reid, 200-pound senior from Spring Valley, Wisconsin, and Joe

Holmberg, 205-pound sophomore from }1ounds View high (suburban St. Paul) are in the four-way contest. Farthing has a quick start, speed, and some of the running motions of a good halfback (his position as a sophomore in '63) in his favor.

Gillingham who passed up football last year after a strong freshman showing, is the bull-dozer type whose weight and momentum carry him through tackles. Reid is a heady runner who uses his experience to good advantage. He will play both ways.

Holmberg has raw power and is a strong straight-ahead plunger. He is at a disadvantage in experience, but shows good long-range potential. The fullback position manned by this quarter could be Minnesota's Ilmost solid" by mid-season.

HINNEAPOLIS. - Randy Staten, junior guard from Charlotte, N. C., is making a

determined bid for the University of Minnesota football team's starting right guard

assignment left vacant by the graduation of Larry Hartse.

A highly-regarded prospect when he arrived on the Minnesota campus, Staten

progressed more slowly than expected as a sophomore last year and did not letter.

Things have been different this fall, however. Staten was installed in the

No. 1 right guard spot on the first day of practice and has stayed there ever since.

As things stand now, he will see extended action, both on offense and defense.

Blessed with a tremendous, muscular frame, the 6-1, 215-pounder has ideal

physical qualifications for a guard. He is also one of the Gophers' fastest

"The Gophers" GARY REIERSON

Gary Reierson, a handsome young blond from the "silk stocking" Minneapolis

suburb of Edina, doesn't look like a Ilchew-em-up ll guy. But his is a notable case

of looks and background belying the nature of the individual.

A fullback and star baseball player at Edina-Morningside high from which he

graduated in 1963, Gary followed Paul Faust there as a hard-hitting fullback on a

winning team coached by Stav Canakes, former l"linnesota tackle.

As fall practice progresses at the University of Minnesota this fall, fate is

playing a strong hand in the Faust-Reierson succession.

Faust has figured since a year ago as No. 1 left guard in coach Murray

Warmath's defensive linebacking plans. He is the Julian Hook type who thrives on

contact and knows where to be at the right time to match might and muscle with

on-rushing backs. Newcomer Reierson was far down the left guard list on the

opening day of practice.

But as the tempo of contact work quickened on the Minnesota practice field,

Gary steadily moved up in the estimation of the coaching staff.

A week ago Saturday, in the first full-dress scrimmage of the fall, 215-pound

Faust slammed head-on in to 230-pound Gale Gillingham as the Little Falls bulldozer

broke through the defensive line backed by Faust. Paul came out of the collision

with a shoulder separation which doctors estimated would sideline him for two or

three weeks. One-time Edina understudy Reierson moved in to take his place. Line

coach Denver Crawford liked what he saw. '!hough a relatively light guard at 180

pounds, Reierson demonstrated that he had the other requirements in quantity.

This week Gary is rated No.2 left guard behind the veteran Willie Costanza, and is slated for extensive duty against Nebraska. Those who have seen him at work are confident that he will measure up to the Hook-Faust tradition. He is a "tigerll who likes to eat 'em up. -0------_. - Hailed Sept. 11, 1964 For release upon receipt.

Conference Academic football team, according to an announcement by Big Ten

Commissioner Bill Reed.

Guard Paul Faust, Edina, and Bill Bevan, Jr., Chisago City, are the Gopher

nominees. Both are juniors. Faust's father, George, was a quarterback on Bernie

Bierman's squads of 1936-37-38. Bevan is the son of Bill Bevan, Sr., who won

All-American honors as a guard on Bierman's great 1934 team.

The Minnesota players were among 75 nominees for the twelfth annual team

selected by the Big Ten sports information directors. Nomination is based strictlY

on scholastic proficiency -- a liB" or better academic average. After that, athletic

ability is the sole gauge for those to be chosen to the team.

Two former Gopher All-Americans, halfback Paul Giel and tackle Bob Hobert, are

members of the All-Time All-Academic Big Ten football team also announced by the

Conference office. Giel, an All-American in 1952 and 1953, was selected to the

all-academic squad in '53. Hobert, a 1956 All-American, made the scholastic squad

in 1955 and '56.

MINNEAPOLIS. - There are, by admission of Coach Murray Warmath, a good many uncertainties insofar as the makeup of the 1964 University of Minnesota football squad is concerned, but the detensive backfield that will take the field against Nebraska on September 26 is not one of them. Warmath has definitely decided to platoon backfields. Competition for the starting nod at all positions in the offensive backfield remains keen, but the makeup of the defensive secondary is well defined. Andy Haines, New Orleans, and Bill Bevan, Chisago City junior, will share quarterback-safety duties. Kraig Lofquist, Biwabik senior is a fixture at defensive left half and may see some ball-toting duty. Stan Skjei, Appleton senior, is set at defensive right half. Mike Reid, senior fullback from Spring Valley, Wisconsin has a wide advantage over all other candidates for the corner linebacking job. These veterans give Minnesota extensive experience at positions where there is a great premium on this commodity. As backfield coach Dick Larson points out, lilt takes only one small mistake or a moment's indecision or hesitation on defense back there, and you get hurt or killed." Warmath feels that these five men will fill the bill well and do a creditable job for the Gophers. Their role will undoubtedly (Ie all the more important this year as they work behind a thinly-manned line with relatively limited experience. So far, no stalwarts have appeared to plug the gaps left by the departure of Carl Eller and Milt Sunde.

Vlarmath replies ''We have an experienced secondary defense in Captain Joe Pung

halfback), and Stan Skjei (right halfback). We are solid at end with Bob Bruggers,

Kent Kramer, and Ken Last on the left side, and Aaron Brown, John Rajala, and Jerry

Newsom on the right end. Frank Marchlewsld is an excellent offensive center. He

and Pung give us good strength in this position. We feel that we should be better

at fullback with Fred Farthing, Mike Reid, Gale Gillingham, and Joe Holmberg. Bill

Crockett will give us good running at left halfback, even though he weighs only 152

pounds. If Dick Harren's knee comes around, we will be improved at right halfback

where sophomores Ray Whitlow and Dave Colburn should help."

Warmath and his coaching aides consider the quarterback position the big IF

John Hankinson, Larry Peterson, Glen Wirtanen, and Andy Haines can give us acceptable

quarterbacking, we should be able to move the ball effectively. Right now we just

If you will pardon the play on words, it's a case of Last, but certainly not

IILet him get some experience behind him," said Warmath, "and we expect him to measure up with the best. He is competitive, learns well, has good moves, and can catch the ball. II

At 6 feet 4 inches (and 202 pounds), Kenny presents a good target for Minnesota's passers. His three seasons of stardom in basketball at Bloomington, including a senior year appearance in the State tournament, stand him in good stead when it comes to snagging aerials. According to End Coach Butch Nash, "Last has a

real good pair of hands and the longest arms of anyone of our ends. He has what it

takes to be an outstanding receiver. 11 Because of his stooped posture which belies his athletic talents, and arms which reach nearly to his knees, Kenny is known to his teamnates as "gibbon" or "gangleon." He walks and runs with a deceptive gait which comes in handy when trying to elude defenders against passes intended for his hands.

Nebraska, defending Big Eight Conference champion and 1964 Orange Bowl victor,

looms as one of Minnesota I s most formidable opening day rivals in many seasons.

In routing South Dakota University 56 - 0 last Saturday, the Huskers demonstrated ,------

that they again have a machine comparable to their championship outfit of last

season. Coach Bob Devaney, starting his third season at the Nebraska coaching

helm, brings a 20 - 3 two-year record at Nebraska as additional warning that

Minnesota faces a large assignment Saturday.

Nebraska's multiple-T offense will be directed by Fred Duda, IS5-pound junior

quarterback who runs the option play with a high degree of efficiency and scampers

with a baffling pace that makes him a difficult quary for opposing tacklers. Right

halfback Bobby Hohn, lSI-pound senior and only returnee from Nebraska's starting

1963 backfield, is a leading candidate for all Big Eight halfback honors an

outstanding threat to Minnesota's defenses. Kent McCloughan, 191-pound left

halfback and Big Eight 220-yard sprint champion, is a breakaway runner who can go

all the way when given a little daylight. His speed makes him dangerous each time

he gets his hands on the ball.

Minnesota, like its opponent, features the multiple-T offense, but the backs

who will try to make it go are of a relatively unknown quantity. Bill Crockett,

ISS-pounder slated to start on offense at left half, and John Hankinson, No. 1

quarterback, missed last season's competition. Fullback Fred Farthing, 205-pound

junior from Omaha, played 72 minutes as a halfback. Ray \Vhitlow, ticketed for the

right halfback starting assignment, is a 160-pound sophomore making his collegiate

football debut.

All American Carl Eller and Milt Sunde, tackles who were key factors in

Minnesota's strong defensive showing (No. 2 in Big Ten play) a year ago, are

missing from the lineup and Coach lv1urray Warmath has had little luck in finding

replacements near their caliber. He and his staff have been working feverishly to

put together a front liDe combining some offensive punch with defensive ruggedness.

Minnesota will platoon at center, left guard, and in the backfield. Warmath has indicated that the Gophers lack the depth to platoon complete units. He expects most of his athletes to be prepared to play both ways.

Minnesota's principal strength is expected to be at center and the ends. Centers Frank Marchlewski and Captain Joe Pung will handle the offensive and defensive chores, respectively. With Bob Bruggers, Kent Kramer, and Ken Last showing well at left end, and Aaron Brown, John Rajala, and Jerry Newsom available at right end, Minnesota finds itself three-deep with dependable performers at the outposts. ### Mailed Sept. 23, 1964 For release Friday, 9/25 NO SOONER, PLEASE

"The Gophers"

TIM WHEELER

Maldng a strong bid for a place hI the 1964 Gopher football sun is sophomore

guard Tim Wheeler of Richfield, Minnesota. Though small by Big Ten standards at

5-11, 185 pounds, Wheeler has nonetheless attracted much favorable attention with

his efforts as a linebacker.

"Tim has some trouble with straight ahead power plays because of his size,"

says assistant coach Don Grammer, "but he covers the ground well, shows good

football sense, and is very scappy."

\fueeler's ability to move around rapidly in pursuit stems from his high

school days at Richfield where, as a hard running halfback, he was one of the Lake

Conference leaders in scoring and made All-State honers as well as All-Conference

in basketball and letters in baseball.

Wheeler's tremendous desire to play football at the University of Minnesota

may come in part from his father, Roger Wheeler, who lettered in football and

basketball in 1924, 125, and 126 for the Gophers.

Enrolled as a pre-law student in the College of Liberal Arts, Wheeler

indicates that he is working towards a legal career but says that he secretly

wishes to play professional football. Mailed September 24, 1964 For release on receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - George (lIButch 11) Nash, University of Minnesota end coach and a man not given to overstatement, considers the 1964 Gopher football team to be blessed with possiblY the finest set of ends in his 17 years on the Minnesota staff.

Nash rates his flankmen as potentially the best, both in depth and quality. He adds that there isn't a senior in the bunch. Indeed, so strong is the group likely to be that the Gopher coaching staff felt able to switch one of its finest sophomore prospects, Chet Anderson of Duluth (Central) to tackle.

Two returning starters head the list - Aaron Brown, Port Arthur, Texas, and Bob Bruggers, Roseland. Brown is considered the finest end on the squad and potentially one of the best in Gopher history. Other returning veterans are John Rajala, letterman from Anoka, and Kent Kramer, Temple City, Calif.

Promising newcomers include Kenny Last, Bloomington, Ron Austin, Uniontown, Pa., and Roger Michalski, Silver Bay.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota football team., fresh from lithe

one that got away" against Nebraska last week, tries again Saturday for Victory

No. 1 of the young 1964 season. The foe is a tough California team. The place

the Berkeley lair of the Golden Bear.

How big an assignment the Gophers face was illustrated by Illinois' trip to

the same site last Saturday. The defending Big Ten and Rose Bowl champs almost lost

more than their hearts in the San Francisco Bay area. They were hard-pressed to

salvage a 20-14 win and had to withstand a determined Cal drive which carried to

the Illini six-yard line as the game ended.

Gopher coach Murray Warmath isn't making any promise above the declaration

that his team will give its best effort to win. He recognizes the class of the

Californians, led by their stellar quarterback Craig Morton. Warmath does hope that

the Gophers left their mistakes on the field last Saturday. They made enough of

them against the Huskers to last for several games.

It looks as if the same Minnesota team which started in the opener will be

on tap for the road inaugural. This would mean an offensive alignment including

Kent Kramer and Aaron Brown, ends; Don Rosen and Jim Fulgham, tackles; Paul Faust

and Randy Staten, guards; Frank Marchlewski, center; John Hankinson, quarterback;

Bill Crockett, left half; Ray Whitlow, right half; and Fred Farthing, fullback.

Sophomore Whitlow's status hinges largely on his recovery from a back injury

suffered against Nebraska. If he is not ready, his place likely will be filled

by another soph, Dave Colburn. Veteran right halfback Dick Harren will not make

the trip due to his persistent knee injury. Two other top men, No. 1 defensive halfbacks Kraig Lofquist and Stan Skjei,

emerged from the opener with leg injuries. If they are not ready by Saturday,

the Gopher secondary will be seriously handicapped. Biggest task on the Gophers' practice docket this week is to tighten their defense against passing. Nebraska's quarterback Fred Duda piled up 188 yards and two touchdowns against Minnesota. At least part of the problem was due to a mediocre rush by the Gopher line which failed to harass the enemy paGser in the patented manner of Bobby Bell, Carl Eller and other recent Gopher defensive greats.

Two of the happiest surprises of the Gophers' baptism of fire last week were the passing and field direction of junior quarterback John Hankinson who saw the first extended service of his Gopher career. He completed 12 of 25 passes for

97 yards and one touchdown and added another score on a 33-yard run. Crockett, who missed last season due to ineligibility, returned to his 1962 running form and then some. Altogether, he accounted for 239 yards, including

an SO-yard punt return and 88 yards racked up on three kickoff returns. To date, California has had all the better of the short series with :linnesota, winning both games played by the decisive margins of 55-14 in 1951 and 49-13 in 1952. In all competition against Vlest Coast schools, the Gophers stand 13-10-1.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - It will be a case of an inexperienced team with good potential against an experienced team of proven ability when the University of Minnesota's young cross country team challenges powerful Wisconsin at Madison Saturday. The Gophers will be relying mostly on sophomoreswhile the Badgers have

seven of their top eight men back from last year's squad which defeated ~linnesota 23-31 in a dual meet and nosed out the Maroon and Gold entry for second place in the Conference meet.

Coach Roy Griak admits that the Badgers are tough but feels his squad

has enough strength to make the meet "real close. Ii Griak was surprised by the Gophers' 15-43 margin of victory over Drake in last week's opener. Minnesota runners, four of them sophomores, took the first five places, paced by soph Bob Weigel's course record time of 21:07 over the four miles. Wisconsin's top returning veterans are seniors Steve Tullberg who placed

third in last fall's Big Ten meet, Jim Connors and Dave Heinrich, along with

juniors Dick Peterson, Barney Peterson, Jim Weinert and Fred Logan. Minnesota's leading competitors, in addition to Weigel, are sophomores John Valentine, Tom Heinonen, Dave Wegner and Gecr ge Podolsky, Capt. Norris Peterson, a senior, and Mike Elwell, a junior. The meet will be the first of the season for Wisconsin. #### Mailed October 5, 1964 For release upon receipt.

lITNNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota football squad ldcks off its 1964 Big Ten campaign Saturday in Memorial Stadium here against one of its most ancient and respected rivals -- the Wildcats of Northwestern University. The Gophers hold a 26-17-4 edge in the series dating back to 1892, but Northwestern has taken 34 - 22 and 15 - 8 verdicts in the last two seasons.

Radio broadcasts: WEAW, WNMP, Evanston. WCFL, Chicago. WCCO (Plus North Star Network), WLOL, WTCN, Twin Cities. KROC, Rochester. Telecasts - none.

In its three starts this autumn Northwestern has defeated Oregon State 7 - 3 and Indiana 14 - 13. It bowed last Saturday to Illinois 17 - 6. Minnesota is one ­

one with a 26 - 21 setback by Nebraska and a 26 - 20 conquest of California to its credit. While the Northwestern coaching staff headed by Alex Agase is making its first stand against the Gophers, an old nemesis returns to present severe defensive problems for the Gophers. He is Tom Hyers, All American quarterback and forward passing genius for the Wildcats. As a sophomore he tallied 16 pass completions in 25 attempts for 251 Yards and four touchdowns. Last season at Evanston he continued to torment the Gophers as he connected on nine of 17 aerials for 161 yards and two touchdowns. Indications are that MYers' throwing arm is just as fit as ever for he has completed 31 of 75 passes for 446 yards and two touchdowns. The game could develop into a passing spectacular. Minnesota's John

Hankinson completed nine of 13 tries against California and 12 of 25 against Nebraska for 242 yards, three touchdowns, and a 55 per cent completion record. The tall, slender junior from Edina is being hailed as the most talented slinger in Uarmath' s II-year tenure at Minnesota. Despite the touted artistry of Hyers and Hankinson, all the fireworks will not be in the air. Both teams have fine running backs. Chief ground gainers for the Wildcats have been fullback Steve Hurphy who has rushed 222 yards in 52 tries for a 4.3 average, and halfbacks Dick McCauley and Ron Rector. Rector has averaged 5.1 yards in 10 carries. McCauley's rushing record is less impressive with a net of 33 yards in 22 tries, but he has caught six of Myers' passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. Hurphy, an injury victim in the Illinois game, may miss Saturday's contest. The big gainer and principal ground-gaining threat for Minnesota is 155-pound Bill Crockett, senior left halfback. He has carried the ball 30 times for a net of 146 yards and a 4.9 per-try average. Crockett is a tricky, polished runner who runs with an abandon that belies his frail-appearing frame. The fullback punch in the Minnesota ground attack is provided by Fred Farthing, 205-pound junior who has moved the ball 106 yards in 23 carries for a 4.6 average. Indications are that Minnesota will be minus the services of two of its top right halfbacks for the Northwestern encounter. Dick Harren, No. I at this position at the end of the 1963 season, is still nursing a knee that is slow in recovering from an operation last February. Dave Colburn, l75-pound sophomore who started against California, suffered a shoulder injury in that game. His availability is doubtful. He is being replaced by Ray Whitlow, l60-pound sophomore, in practice this week.

A turnout of 55,000 is expected for this 48th meeting of the Gophers and

Wildcats. Plenty of tickets in the bowl end and West bleachers are still available at the Cooke Hall ticket office on campus, the Downtown ticket office in the North

Star Center, Minneapolis, and the Fiela Schlick ticket office, St. Paul.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota I s young cross country team,

undefeated in its first two starts, Saturday takes on two Big Eight squads

Iowa State and Nebraska - at Ames, Iowa.

Gopher coach Roy Griak was extremely pleased by his team's winning performance

against tough Wisconsin last Saturday and feels that the Cyclones and Huskers

will give Minnesota another good test preparatory to next week's meet here with

defending Big Ten champion Michigan State.

"We've had a real good week of practice and I'm more than satisfied with

our team's progress this fall,1l Griak says. The Gophers' biggest problem this

week has been a couple of colds which have afflicted Dave Wegner and John

Valentine.

Nebraska was a late entry in this Saturday's card. The meet was originally

slated to be a dual affair between Hinnesota and Iowa State, but the Huskers were

added this week. The action will be scored on a double dual meet basis.

III really don't know much about Nebraska," Griak admits. "I'd lmow that

State has considerably more experience than we have, although, on paper we

figure to be stronger. What will happen Saturday is another matter."

The Cyclones top man is Brian Kohlman, a junior who ran four miles in 21:39

last year. Joining him are three more juniors -- Bob Rippe, Dennis Anderson and

Gerald Van De Garder -- and three sophs -- Dave Lee, Rog Hanson and Bob Rowell.

Lee is considered a top prospect among the newcomers.

tripped California 20 - 14 and Northwestern 17 - 6, only to be stifled by Ohio

State 26 - 0 last Saturday. The Gophers carry a 2 - 1 record into Saturday's

contest on the basis of 26 - 20 and 21 - 18 victories over California and Northwestern respectively, and a 21 - 26 setback by Nebraska in their opener. If comparative scores may be considered meaningful, Saturday's combatants are evenly matched.

As the result of a crippling foot injury sustained by ace halfback Bill

Crockett in the Northwestern win last Saturday, the Minnesota coaching staff has been forced to make a number of personnel switches this week.

In Monday's practice Fred Farthing, 205-pound fullback, appeared at left halfback as a replacement for Crockett, and Mike Reid, basically a defensive fullback, took over on offense in place of Farthing. Jerry Newsom, untried

205-pound sophomore end from Minneapolis, moved to fullback with the No. 2 unit.

Mike Orman, a senior who has been alternately listed as an end and a flanker back on the third team, traded places with Ray Whitlow at right halfback with the first team. However, Whitlow who made a spectacular 50-yard pass play gain against

Northwestern will probably get the starting nod this week. Dave Colburn, one of

Minnesota's brightest sophomore halfback prospects, is still hampered by a shoulder injury sustained early in the California game which he started at right half, and is apparently unavailable for Saturday.

With John Rajala, top defenSive right end crippled, Coach Warmath moved

Ken Last, 200 pound, 6-4 sophomore from third string left end to replace Rajala, and returned Chet Anderson, 235-pound sophomore from right tackle to the right end post where he started fall practice.

Combining with Farthing, Whitlow, and Reid in the Minnesota backfield will be quarterback John Hankinson who has been something of a sensation so far this season. The rangy, wiry junior from Edina has provided the Gophers with their strongest aerial threat in Warmath's ll-year tenure. Hankinson has completed 31 of 53 passes for 426 yards, three touchdowns, and a 58 per cent completion mark while having none intercepted. In addition, he has a rushing net of 94 yards and has contributed three touchdowns. Hankinson's favorite receiver has been Aaron Brown,

6-4, 231 PQund junior. Brown has nabbed 10 passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns.

Crockett had snared seven for 71 yards prior to his injury.

Illinois' decisive loss to Ohio State has led to no changes in Minnesota's preparation for the upcoming clash. Coach Murray Warmath has held a high regard for the IUini since last year's 16 - 6 loss at Champaign. He is on record as believing Fred Custardo to be one of the best all-around and most dangerous pass ­ run quarterbacks in college football today. All too clear in the memory of the

Minnesota coaching staff is the destruction wrought on their defenses by fullback

Jim Grabowski. He crashed up the middle for 72 yards in 17 carries and was easily the outstanding factor in the Illinois victory. Custardo likewise ran effectively as he averaged 4.2 yards on eight rushes.

The best available information from Champaign - Urbana indicates that Coach

Pete Elliott will not shake up the Illinois lineup which survived the Ohio State tilt in good physical condition. This means that Sam Price, 209-pound junior from

Toledo and Ron Acks, 196-pound junior from Decatur will team at left and right halfback, respectively. The Orange and Blue starting offensive backfield averaging

203 pounds per man will have a wide weight advantage over the Minnesota backfield.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota's undefeated cross country team

faces its sternest test of the campaign Saturday when it entertains Michigan State's

defending Big Ten champions in a dual meet at the University golf course.

Gopher coach Roy Griak respects the Spartans but is not awed by their record

which includes two straight Conference titles and 11 in the last 13 years. IlWe

can beat State, if we make our very best effort, II he declares. IINothing but our

best will suffice, however."

Griak is pleased with the steady progress of his young squad but feels that

the Gophers have not run up to their potential as a team in their four victories

over Drake, Wisconsin, Iowa State and Nebraska.

"Some of our individuals have shown to very good advantage, II he says, "but

we can do better as a unit. II

Tom Heinonen, one of the numerous sophomores who dominate the Gopher team

this fall, earned special praise from Griak for his progress. He has been

Minnesota's top man the last two Saturdays.

State is led by co-captains Jan Bowen and Hike Kaines. Bowen, the No. 1 man,

finished tenth in the Big Ten meet a year ago. They are joined by juniors Eric

Zamper, eleventh in 163 Conference competition, and Paul McCollon, along with senior

Jack Hamie. Top sophs are Keith Coates and George Baltrop. Coates is highly

regarded.

The group comprised the Spartans' top five in their 22-37 victory over

Wisconsin last Saturday. The meet was State's first of the year. Their winning

margin was only slightly better than Minnesota 1s 25-36 showing against the same foe.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota football team, its Big Ten

title aspirations tarnished by Illinois, seeks to regroup its forces for Saturday's

invasion of Ann Arbor and the 55th renewal of the Little Brown Jug feud.

The Gophers, their front line troops decimated by injuries to key men prior

to and early in the Illini battle, hope to regain some of this manpower in time

for the clash with the Wolverines.

Minnesota went into last Saturday's contest minus the services of ace

halfbacks Bill Crockett and Dick Harren, and starting defensive and John Rajala.

The first casualty of the game was John Hankinson who had completed 31 of 53

passes for 426 yards, three touchdowns, and a .585 completion percentage. He

suffered a concussion in the first five minutes of play and was sidelined. Other

casualties were Brian Callahan, starting right guard, Fred Farthing, No. 1 left

halfback, Fred Nord, first team defensive right tackle, and Glen Wirtanen,

starting defensive quarterback. All except Nord were sent to University Hospitals

for observation. Their availability for the Michigan encounter remains in doubt.

In view of this depletion of their top-flight performers, the Gophers face

long odds in attempting to make it five in a row over their arch rivals whom they

have defeated by scores of 10-0(1960), 23 - 20 (196l), 17 - 0 (1962), and 6 - 0

(1963) in their last four encounters.

The principal task of the Minnesota coaching staff in practice this week is

to patch up the lineup and get the battered Gophers ready for a strong effort

against the lrlolverines. Recovery of Hankinson, Harren, and Crockett would restore }1innesota1 s passing-running threat that held them in such good stead against Nebraska, California, and Northwestern. However, their status remains in doubt at this time. Minnesota's four-game statistics: Mailed October 20, 1964 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The University of Minnesota football team is expected to enter

Saturday's IlLittle Brown Jug" battle at Michigan in considerably better physical

shape than it left the Illinois encounter last weekend, but some key performers

are likely to remain sidelined.

On the bright side, five players that missed part or all of the Illini

contest are ready to go, including quarterback John Hankinson who sat out most of

the 14 - 0 drubbing at the hands of Illinois because of a mild concussion. Other

casualties who will see action against the Wolverines are fullback-halfback Fred

Farthing, defensive guard Brian Callahan and safetyman Glen Wirtanen. All three

also were victims of slight concussions. Being counted on, too, is defensive end

John Rajala who missed the Illinois game due to a knee injury suffered against

Northwestern the week before. He is not definitely set but has been showing marked

improvement.

Not so encouraging is the condition of speedy halfback Bill Crockett whose

injured foot is still on the mend. Although not ruled out of the Michigan fray,

his status is doubtful. Still another man on the doubtful list is defensive

tackle Fred Nord, sidelined by a neck injury.

If Crockett and Nord are unable to play, their places will be taken by

Farthing and Jim Fulgham respectively.

There is no indication when right half Dick Harren, incapacitated all season

with a knee injury, will be available for action, but it apparently will not be

this week. A healthy Crockett would make a big difference in the Gophers' prospects for extending their four-1&ar mastery over the Wolverines. During this span,

Minnesota has won twice at Ann Arbor, 10 - 0 in 1960 and 17 - 0 in 1962.

Michigan leads in the series with 32 victories to the Gophers' 19. There have been three ties. One of those deadlocks came in the game which launched the famous "Brown Jug" rivalry back in 1903. Since then, the Gophers have had possession of the jug 17 times and the Wolverines 28.

Saturday's game will be televised on KSTP-TV (Channel 5) starting at 12:30 p.m. CST.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Minnesota must be considered a top contender for the Big Ten

basketball crown this year on the strength of its showing last season when it

finished third with a 10 - 4 record, just a shade behind co-champs Michigan and

Ohio State (11 - 3). Only one regular, Capt. Bill Davis, is lost from that surprising squad.

The Gophers launched their six-week pre-season practice period last week

with a nucleus of eight lettermen, including five men who were either starters or

alternates on last year's team. Just one sophomore, highly-regarded 6 - 5 forward

Paul Presthus of Rugby, N.D., is on the squad.

"We should be improved this year if we can find a suitable replacement for

Davis," Kundla says with guarded optimism. "Otherwise, we'll be about the same."

Capt. Mel Northway heads the returning contingent. The 6 - B senior center

last season broke the Gophers' record for most rebounds in a single conference

campaign and ranked second in scoring.

Forward Louis Hudson, 6-5, top scorer on the 1963-64 team and tenth leading

scorer in the Big Ten, also is back, along with guards Archie Clark, 6-l!, Terry

Kunze, 6-4, and Don Yates, 6-2. The latter also played. forward, and both he and

Kunze are going to get a shot at the spot left vacant by Davis.

other leading candidates to replace Davis, runnerup in '63-64 Gopher

rebounding and third best scorer, are Presthus and letterman Dennis Dvoracek, 6-6.

Also missing from last year I s team are guard Alan Druskin, 5-11, and forward

Don Linehan, 6-2. Additional returnees are reserve guards Wes Martins, 5-11, and Dave

Nelson, 6-1, both lettermen, as well as three men who did not letter -- centers

Dave Wykes, 6-6, and Don Ginsburg, 6-7, and guard Dean Lopata, 6-0.

Although Kundla expects the Gophers to be tough, he points out that the

Conference should be improved as a whole. Michigan's mighty team is back almost intact and bolstered by some fine freshmen. Kundla also expects Purdue,

Illinois and Indiana to be strong.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Even the most optimistic follower of Minnesota football finds

it difficult to generate optimism this week as the Gophers gird for Saturday's

invasion of Bloomington for the 26th meeting in this series dating back to 1906.

Fresh in mind is the 24 - 6 lacing dealt out by the Hoosiers a year ago in

Memorial Stadium here. Principal tormentors were quarterback Rich Bader and

fullback Tom Mowatzke who return with virtually the same lineup that handed the

Gophers their worst setback of the 1963 campaign. The bulldozing Hoosier fullback

crashed the Minnesota defense for a net of 138 yards in 24 rushes in one of the

most impressive power displays seen in Memorial Stadium here in many years. He

contributed three extra points and a 42-yard field goal. And Minnesota was No.2

defensively in the Big Ten at the end of the season.

The injury-ridden Gophers are having their defensive problems. In recent

weeks they have lost the services of Fred Nord, 240 pound No. 1 defensive right

tackle, and John Rajala, No. 1 defensive right end. Nord is suffering from a nerve

injury in his neck, and Rajala is recuperating from a leg injury. Coach Murray

Warmath 's defensive problems were compounded when Frank Marchlewski, standout

offensive center, was cut down last Saturday in the Michigan game by a lmee injury

requiring surgery which eliminates him for the balance of the season. This loss

deals a double blow, for it eliminates one of the league's best offensive centers,

and necessitates the switch of Captain Joe Pung, a linebacking standout, to the

offensive chores in Marchlewski's place.

The aVailability of Bill Crockett, Minnesota's top offensive halfback until injured in the Northwestern game October 10, remains in doubt. Early this week he was hobbling on a swollen ankle. His presence in the Minnesota backfield steps up its offensive potential considerably. At the time of his injury "'!he Crickett" had netted 157 yards in 36 rushes, had caught seven passes for 71 yards, had returned four kickoffs 112 yards, and had scooted 97 yards on four punt returns.

Indications are that quarterback John Hankinson will have to again shoulder the greater part of Minnesota's offensive burden, as he did last Saturday at

Ann Arbor when he completed 17 of 27 pass attempts for 163 yards and one touchdown.

To date this autumn Hankinson, tall lean junior from Edina, has connected on 47 of 84 aerials for 578 yards and four touchdowns, and has yet to experience an interception. He is 179 yards away from Minnesota's all-time record in Conference play set by Sandy Stephens in 1961.

Whether or not the Minnesota coaching staff will extend the experiment which found Ken Last, 6-4 and 200 pound sophomore switching from end to flanker back for the Michigan game, remains to be seen. Crockett's return to action could result in several backfield changes.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The most dazzling aerial display ever staged in Memorial

Stadium here is in prospect for Saturday afternoon when Iowa's brilliant Gary

Snook and Minnesota's sharp-shooting John Hankinson tangle in a forward passing

duel that is certain to highlight the 58th meeting of these ancient and keen

rivals. The Gophers have a wide edge in the series with 37 victories to 19 for

the Hawkeyes. There is one tie game on record.

Probable starting lineups:

Coach Jerry Burns and the pass-minded Iowans are intent on breaking a three­

game losing streak which followed three successive victories at the outset of the season. Iowa downed Idaha 34 - 24, Washington 28 - 18, and Indiana 21 - 20 before succumbing to Wisconsin 31 - 21, Purdue 19 - 14, and Ohio State 21 - 19. In battling the Buckeyes, the nation's number one college team, right down to the final gun and narrowly missing a tie score, the Hawkeyes proved themselves capable of standing up to any team in the Conference.

Minnesota likewise owns a three-three record on the basis of wins over

California (26 - 20), Northwestern (21 - 18), and Indiana (21 - 0), and losses to Nebraska (21 - 26), Illinois (0 - 14), and Michigan (12 - 19).

Both the Gophers and the Hawkeyes reached season peaks in their impressive performances last Saturday, even though Iowa's was a losing cause.

Underdog Minnesota came up with its best defensive effort of the campaign as it limited the powerful Hoosiers to a net rushing gain of 48 yards, and only two yards in the second half. The Gophers were sharp on pass defense, also.

Indiana's Rich Badar, second-ranked passer in the Big Ten going into the game with a .536 completion average, had to settle for 13 of 35 attempts for 104 yards.

Three of his tosses were intercepted.

Iowa was even more impressive statistically against front-running Ohio State.

The Hawkeyes registered 18 first downs to 12 for the Buckeyes, outrnshed them 94 to 19 yards, and topped them in passing average, 221 to llO.

The principal task of Coach Murray vfarmath and his Minnesota coaching aides this week is to set up a defense cope with one of the nation's most effective forward passing attacks triggered by Gary Snook. The junior marksman from Iowa City has completed 112 of 217 passes for 1,506 yards and 8 touchdowns. His corps,of receivers is the best in the Conference. Glue-fingered, elusive Karl Noonan has snared 45 aerials for 690 yards and three touchdowns. Rich 0 'Hara and Captain

Tony Giacobazzi have grabbed 23 passes each - 0 'Hara for 328 yards and Giacobazzi for 315 yards. Other capable receivers are left halfbacks Dalton Kimble (9 for 57) and Craig Nourse (7 for 38), and right halfback Karlin Ryan (5 for 78).

The air lanes are not the only avenue of attack in which the Iowans are proficient. Halfbacks Kimble and Nourse combine with fullback Karl Noonan to give them a strong wshing threat. Kimble has netted 2:75 yards in 62 carries, and

has returned seven kickoffs for 167 yards - a 23.8 average.

EarlY-week indications are that Bill Crockett, Minnesota's fleet and elusive left halfback, will not be sufficiently recovered from an ankle injury suftered.

October 10 to take the field against Iowa. In Monday's practice the backfield was comprised of quarterback John Hankinson, lett halfback Fred Farthing, right

halfback (flanker-back) Ken Last, and fullback Mike Reid. This is the same

quartet that started against Indiana.

In Crockett's absence, Hankinson will again have to spearhead Minnesotats

attack, as he did against the Hoosiers with 30 net rushing yards and 11 pass

completions tor 149 yards. It was a 2!l-yard PaSs play from Hankinson to Last on a fourth-down-and-ll situation that put the Gophers on the winning track. Latest

Minnesota statistics show the lanky, lean junior quarterback completing 58 ot 108

pass tries for 727 yards and five touchdowns. Only two have been intercepted.

He is within only 30 yards of the school single season record of 757 passing yards against Big 10 opposition established by All American Sandy Stephens in

1961. As of the close of business Monday, some 2,000 tickets remained for the game which will attract more than 6,000 Iowa rooters to Memorial Stadium. Mirmesata's statistics to date: ------

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The moment of truth for the University of Minnesota's

young cross country team comes Monday at Champaign, Illinois when the Gophers

bid for the Big Ten crown in the Conference meet.

''We'll be a contender," declares Coach Roy Griak. "We'll have to

run our very best, but if we do, we could. do a real great job there."

A real great job is what the sophomore-dominated Gophers have been

doing so far this fall. In nine dual meets, they have lost just once. That

was a one-point affair against defending champion Michigan State which,

incidentally, is the favorite again this year.

Capt. Norris Peterson, who placed fifth in last fall's Conference meet,

will lead a seven-man Minnesota delegation which also includes junior Mike

Elwell and sophomores Tom Heinonen, Dave Wegner, John Valentine, Bob Weigel

and Stan Gaffin.

Both Heinonen and Wegner are handicapped by colds, while Peterson is

still bothered by a troublesome knee which has slowed him down a little this fall.

Griak figures State is the team to beat but thinks Wisconsin, Michigan

and Indiana will all be tough, along with Minnesota. He sees the individual

championship battle as wide open.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Just 15 years later the "shoe is on the other foot" as

Purdue's football forces prepare to battle Minnesota in ~1emorial Stadium here Saturday.

In 1949 the Minnesota football team had rolled over four opponents and

appeared to be headed for its first Rose Bowl bid. Michigan then upset the Gophers

who were still favored to make it to Pasadena on New Years Day. It was the general

concensus that Minnesota would rebound and easily handle underdog Purdue the

following Saturday. The Boilermakers ruined Homecoming and Rose Bowl hopes with a

stunning 13 - 7 reversal. Bernie Bierman and Co. went on f'rom there to outscore

their next three opponents - Iowa, Pittsburgh, and Wisconsin - 93 to 20, but the

damage had been done. ~HO( Ill'!! lU( U lHHlllIII'!(II ***

Probable starting lineups:

Radio broadcasts: WBAA, WASK, Lafayette. WBBM, Chicago. WFBM, Indianapolis. WKJG, Fort Wayne. WCCO (plus North Star Network), WWTC, WIDL, Twin Cities. KROC, Rochester. The aroma of roses was rather strong in Lafayette last FridB1' as the

Boilermakers took off for East Lansing boasting a 4 • 0 record in Conference play.

Michigan State proceeded to score a 21 - 7 upset. Purdue, with a seven-game Big

Ten schedule, retains a good chance to win the championship and the Rose Bowl nod if it can win remaining contests with Minnesota and Indiana.

While the series dating back to 1894 stands 15 - 10 - 3 in favor of Minnesota, the Boilermakers are traditionally at their best against the Gophers.

In 1960 Minnesota was within two games of its first undefeated season since 1941 when Purdue pulled a shocking 23 - 14 upset that cost Murray Warmath & Co. a clear

championship. They finished with an 8 - 1 record, and a title tie with Iowa.

Uinnesota squeaked past Purdue 10 - 7 and 7 - 6 in 1961 and 162. Last year at LafB1'ette Purdue took a bitterly contested 13 - 11 verdict. Regardless of the outcome of these games in recent years, they have featured bone-bruising contact

and fiercely spirited competition. On a basis of comparative records this season, Purdue must be considered

the favorite in Saturday1s clash. It has conquored Ohio U., Wisconsin, Michigan,

Iowa, and Illinois while losing to Notre Dame and Michigan State. Minnesota has a

4 - 3 season mark consisting of wins over California, Nor~estern, Indiana, and

Iowa. Losses have been to Nebraska, illinois, and Michigan. Gopher followers have been cheered b.Y recent performances which found Minnesota reaching its season

peak in a 21 - 0 conquest of Indiana two weeks ago, and a 14 - 13 verdict over arch-rival Iowa last Saturday. Minnesota1s principal hope of tumbling the invaders rests on the talented arm or quarterback John Hankinson who has broken one school forward passing record,

and is nearing several others. The lanky, lean junior from suburban Minneapolis

has completed 70 of 132 pass attempts for 837 yards and six touchdowns. An

important factor in these figures has been perhaps the most able corps of

receivera in Minnesota1s football history. Aaron Brown" mammoth junior right end, has snared 25 passes for 243 yards. Kent Kramer, towering left end, has gathered in 14 for 260 yards. Ken Last, sophomore flankerback, has latched on to

16 for 198 yards.

The Minnesota running attack, since halfback Bill Crockett was injured and disabled in the Northwestern game October 10, has left much to be desired. The

Minnesota coaching statf hopes to have him ready for f'ull duty against Purdue.

In the event of his sufficient recovery, Crockett will resume his lett halfback role. Fred Farthing who has been pinch-hitting at left halt, would then return to his normal assignment at f'ullback, a position at which he is coas1derably more effective.

Minnesota trainer Lloyd Stein is hopeful that tackle Gale Gillingham, fullback Mike Reid, and defensive quarterback Bill Bevan who were forced from the

Iowa game by injuries will be sufficiently healed to make a stand against the

Boilermakers.

Purdue suffered a major player loss in the Michigan State encounter when

Bob Hadrick, brilliant junior end, incurred a severe ankle sprain. He has been the favorite target of Bob Griese, one of the nation's best sophomore quarterbacks.

George Catavolos is working in Hadrick's place this week. Griese who completed eight of 11 pass tries against }tISU for 83 yards ranks among the Big Ten I s eli.te in the aerial department with 43 completions in 86 attempts.

Coach Jack Mollenkopf is expected to go along with the same backfield combination that took the field against the Spartans - Griese, left halfback

Jim Morel, right half'back Gordon Teter, and fullback Randy Minniear.

The game which will complete Minnesota's home schedule is expected to attract 60,000 to Memorial Stadium.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - Winter sports tans will be treated to a free peek at the

highly-rated University of Minnesota hockey and basketball teams during the

next 10 days.

The curtain goes up first on 's powerful ice warriors with an

intra-squad battle Tuesday, starting at 8 p.m. Then, on Friday, the Varsity takes

on the Alumni, also at 8:00. Both games will be played at \villiams Arena and

will be preceded by Freshman Intra-squad games at 6:30.

John Kundla's basketball squad, considered a leading challenger for the

Big Ten crown, goes into action the following Tuesday (November 24) in an

Intra-5quad contest, starting at 8 p.m. in Williams Arena. An all Alumni

battle will fill the preliminary spot at 7:00. All three games are free to the public.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. -A University of Minnesota football team that has confounded

the "expertsll and made prophets of Coach Murray \'larmath and Captain Joe Pung

("I'll tell you one thing, we aren't going to finish last like they say. II) heads

for Madison this weekend and the season's finale with Wisconsin shooting for a

possible second place tie in the final Big Ten standings.

This amazing development could come about should the surprising Gophers win

from the Badgers while l-Iichigan is bowing to Ohio State in the big showdown at

Columbus.

The vlisconsin and Minnesota football teams go in to their 74th meeting since

1890 with at least one thing in common -- a season marred by the loss of many

first-line players for one reason or another, mainly injuries.

Minnesota's upset victory over highly-favored Purdue last Saturday was a

particularly remarkable achievement in view of the fact that no less than six

va:J..Uable players sat out the game because of injuries. They were Frank Marchlewski,

outstanding offensive center; halfbacks Dick Harren and Bill Crockett; Paul Faust,

No. 1 offensive left guard; Gale Gillingham, highly-rated offensive and defensive

right tackle; and Tim Wheeler, middle linebacker. Harren was outstanding in last

year's 14 - 0 conquest of the Badgers as he rushed the ball 18 times for a net of

82 yards and caught two passes for 37 yards.

Marchlewski who is on crutches following a knee operation and Harren Will

definitely miss Saturday's action at Madison. Crockett, Faust, Gillingham, and

Wheeler are all on the "doubtful" list.

Again Minnesota will pin its hopes of victory on the forward passing of record-breaking John Hankinson and the receiving of flanker-back Ken Last,

and ends Aaron Brown and Kent Kramer. With the Gopher ground attack pretty well thwarted by the powerful Purdue line, Hankinson threw spectacular bullseye aerials to Last and Kramer for the game-winning touchdowns.

Hankinson, the rangy, lean junior marksman from suburban Minneapolis, already owns two all-time school passing records: 1. Most yards gained passing in one season -- 159 for 996 yards. 2. Most completions in one season -- 78.

Minnesota passing records within reach of Hankinson are: 1. Most passes

attempted in one season -- 154 by Duane Blaska in 1962. Hankinson with 147 needs

7 to tie. 2. Most touchdown passes in one season -- 9 by Sandy Stephens in 1961.

Hankinson with 8 needs 1 to tie. 3. Most yards gained by passing in Conference games in one season -- 757 by Stephens in 1961. Hankinson with 754 needs 3 to tie.

Each time Aaron Brown, Minnesota's giant right end, catches a pass he ups

his own school record which stands at 26. The former mark of 24 was set by Bud

Grant in 1949.

vath good days on the receiving end of Hankinson I s toeses both Kramer and

Last could make their way into the "Reeeiving 11 department of the Minnesota record

book.

Sixteen members of the varsity squad will end their Minnesota football

careers with the ~asconsin game. They are ends Len Stream and Bill Sausen;

tackles Fred Nord, Jim Leslie, Jim Krohn; guard Willie Costanza; centers Frank

Marchlewski, Joe Pung; quarterbacks Larry Peterson and Ken Jacobson; halfbacks

Stan Skjei, Kraig Lofquist, Rodney Elton, Mike Orman, Bill Crockett; fullback

Mike Reid.

The Gophers will not be without moral support at Madison Saturday. Some

8,000 fans are expected to make the trip.

MINNEAPOLIS. - What could be the strongest University of Ivlinnesota hockey team

since the heady days ot John Mayasich & Co. back in the early fifties gets its

first taste of competition as a unit Friday when it takes on a tough Alumni

squad at Williams Arena.

Face-off time is 8 p.m. The annual battle will be preceded by a freshman

intra-squad tilt at 6:30. Admission is free. The attraction has been designated

as a Williams Scholarship benefit. Voluntary contributions will go to the

scholarship tund which aids student-athletes at the University.

Coach John Mariucci was satisfied with the Gophers' performance in their

intra-squad preview Tuesday but allows that there is considerable room for

improvement. He respects the Alumni team which he feels could give the varsity

a good test for this early stage of the season.

Sixteen lettermen provide a powerful nucleus for the Gophers, including

All-American wing Craig Falkman and Larry Stordahl, who missed last season due to

a knee injury. Stordahl has been shifted from wing to defense. Another former

forward, Dick Haigh who was a center, has also been switched to the blueline

patrol. Haigh, however, did see some action at defense last year.

Letterman defensemen returning are Jerry Edman, Frank Zywiec and Pat Furlong.

Up front, the Gophers have a flock of good forwards back, in addition to Falkman --

Roy Nystrom, who was last year's leading Minnesota scorer, Lorne Grosso, ,

Bruce Larson, Gary Hokanson, Mike Alm, Mark :R\vman, Dick Bloom and John Torrel.

Returning in the goal is John Lothrop, rated by Mariucci as possibly the finest Gopher netminder since Olympic hero Jack McCartan in 1958. Leading newcomers are defensemen Jim Branch and Bill Ronning, center Jack Dale and wings Rolf Vinnes and Dennis Zacho. -0- Mailed November 20, 1964 For release upon receipt UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. - The Big Ten champion University of Minnesota cross country

team will try to make lightening strike a second time Monday when it vies with

the nation's finest in the NCAA meet at East Lansing, Michigan.

Coach Roy Griak isn't expecting any surprises comparable to the Gophers 1

victory in the Big Ten meet two weeks ago. "It would require a fantastic

performance on our part to win," he declares. "The competition will be so tough

we would have to come through with a performance far better than anything we've

done to date. I'd be real tickled if we could finish in the top six."

The same seven-man squad that romped to the Conference crown will be making

the trip - Capt. Norris Peterson, who was Big Ten runnerup, Tom Heinonen who

placed fourth in the Conference, Bob Weigel, John Valentine, Mike Elwell,

Dave Wegner and Stan Gaffin.

Elwell has been bothered by a sore throat and Wegner by a persistent cold.

Otherwise the Gophers should be in top physical shape.

Griak expects Georgetown, Kansas, Notre Dame, Oregon and Western Michigan to

be the top contenders for the team title. Bill Clark of the Fighting Irish,

vlalt Hewlett of Harvard and Joe Lynch of Georgetown are his selections as the

most likely prospects for the individual crown.

liINNEAPOLIS. - The University of :t-linnesota hockey team, still smarting from an

upset 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Alumni, opens its 1964-65 Western Collegiate

Hockey Association schedule at Williams Arena Friday and Saturday against a

mUch-improved Colorado College team.

Game time both nights is 8:00. A freshman intra-squad clash will provide

preliminary action Friday, while Richfield and Hinneapolis Patrick Henry tangle

Saturday. Prelim faceoff time is 6:30.

"That was a mighty good Alumni team we lost to last Friday," says a somewhat

subdued Coach John Mariucci. "It was the best we've ever been up against in that

annual game. Colorado won't be any easier. They've got a good club and have

some real fine sophomores. We'll be out to win both games, though."

The Colorado roster is loaded with Minnesotans, including the coach,

Bob Johnson who was a Gopher star back in the fifties. He is starting his second

year as Tiger head man and his team could be a darkhorse for WCHA honors.

Thirteen members of the CC travel squad also call the Gopher State home. They

include Dick Haugland, Jim Amidon and Glen Blumer, all of International Falls;

Bob Magie, Duluth (East); Ken Hanson and Bob Lindberg, Hinneapolis Washburn and

Roosevelt respectively; and seven players from St. Paul - Tom Brindley (Johnson),

Dick Garvey (Mechanic Arts), Roger Simon, Dave Peterson and Jeff Sauer (Washington),

John Genz, (Humboldt) and Steve Ebert (Central).

Although the Tigers have 13 lettermen, the sophomore line of Amidon, Genz and Lindberg has been creating most of the axcitement in intra-squad games. This combination recently scored a total of 17 points in two contests, outscoring both experienced varsity lines led by Capt. Warren Fordyce and Sauer. -0- Mailed November 24, 1964 For release upon receipt.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOUS. - It will be teacher vs. pupil when Minnesota takes on Colorado

College in this weekend's Western Collegiate Hockey Association series at Williams

Arena. The action will be the first of the year in WCHA competition for both teams.

Game time Friday and Saturday is 8 p.m. with preliminaries at 6:30 -­

Freshman intra-squad Friday and Richfield vs. Patrick Henry Saturday.

The teacher is none other than veteran Gopher coach John Mariuoci. The pupil,

or rather former pupil, is ex-Minnesota hockey star Bob Johnson who now coaches

the Tigers. Johnson played wing for Mariucci back in the halcyon days of 1953-54.

He did a good job then, and he is doing the same now in his second year at

Colorado.

Hariucci and Johnson stand 2-2 in their rivalry to date. ''Maroosh" got the

jump last year with a sweep of the series here, but Johnson's team ambushed the

Gophers at Colorado Springs, taking both ends of the series there. The double

loss knocked ltinnesota out of contention for the WCHA crown and launched them on

a four-game losing streak.

Nothing would give either coach more pleasure than a sweep of the upcoming

series, especiallY since both clubs are expected to be contenders in the WCHA.

Mariucci respects Colorado, but he fullY intends to win both games. "A sweep

would mean a great deal at this early stage of the season, II he explains.

John plans no lineup changes for the Tigers. He may go with three sets of defensemen - Co-Capt. Larry Stordahl and Dick Haigh, Frank Zywiec and Jim Branch, Jerry Edman and Pat Furlong. Up front, there will be a senior line composed of Lorne Grosso, All-American Craig Falkman and Roy Nystrom; a junior line featuring Doug Woog, Bruce Larson and Gary Hokanson; and a sophomore line of Jack Dale, Rolf Vinnes and Dennis Zacho.

MINNEAPOLIS. -A veteran University of MinnefD ta basketball squad that will be

hard-pressed to live up to pre-season speculation and IInoticesll will kick off its

intercollegiate campaign Tuesday night in Williams Arena against South Dakota State

University with emphasis on the reserves whom Coach Kundla hopes to develop into a

strong IIbench. 1I

The encounter with the Jackrabbits from Brookings is expected to provide Kundla

an opportunity to test and evaluate each member of his 12"'mah sqUad.

Indications are that Kundla is pretty well IIset" on his starting combination -

Lou Hudson and Terry Kunze at the forwards, Captain Mel Northway at center, and

Archie Clark m1d Don Yates at the guard positions. Kunze, a guard through his

sophomore and junior seasons, appears to be adjusting well at forward.

Kundla rates his number one problem the developing of an adequate replacement

for Northway at center. The most likely candidate of the moment is Dennis Dvoracek,

6-6 junior from Eau Claire, Wisconsin whom Kundla rates as the "most improvedII

member of the squad. Dvoracek has been working at forward where he and sophomore.

Paul Presthus, 6-5 former prep All American from Rugby, North Dakota are understudying

Hudson and Kunze. However, Dvoracek must be ready to step in for Northway and may

get a lengthy trial at center against State.

Also expected to get a thorough testing Tuesday are guards Dave Nelson,

Hinneapolis senior, and Wes Martins, Moorhead junior. Kundla indicates that this

pair is ready to render valuable service in relief of Clark and Yates, and he intends to bEing them along as rapidly as possible for this role. Both have made marked improvement since last season.

The 6:15 preliminary pits the Minnesota freshmen squad against a combined group of former Gopher cagers and current members of the Minnesota football squad with strong basketball backgrounds. The main event starts at 8:00 p.m. - 1

trip of the campaign. Although the Wolverines lost goalie Bob Gray and their

outstanding top line of a year ago, they still have the makings of another

powerful team.

"I wouldn't say that they are the favorite for the championship again this

year," says Gopher coach John Mariucci. "However, they certainly have to be ranked

as one of the top contenders, along with Michigan Tech, Denver and North Dakota.

They have fine personnel. 11

Mariucci wasn It exactly ecstatic over the Gophers r performance against

Colorado College last weekend, despite the pair of victories. ''We were lucky

to win both games considering the way we played," he admits. "I was encouraged

by our improvement Saturday night, though."

"Maroosh" was most happy with the work of goalie John Lothrop, especially his

42-stop job in the 5-4 Friday triumph. He also lauded the performance of Doug

Woog 1 S junior line, which thus far has carried the brunt of the scoring burden,

and the defensive work of Dick Haigh and Larry Stordahl.

Gary Hokanson is the leading Gopher scorer after three games with seven

points on four goals and three assists. Woog is second with four.

and St. Louis Park seventh. All of these teams will compete against each other

this season.

Austin, St. Paul Central, Chisholm, Minneapolis Southwest, Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS. - Among the headliners in the University of Minnesota's first

annual "Aqua Spectacular," to be presented in the Cooke Hall pool at 8:00 p.m.

Saturday, is Dick Kimball, one of the world's most versatile acrobats as well as

professional diving champion.

The graduate of Rochester, Minn. High School was not only a national collegiate

diving champ while performing for the University of Hichigan but a star trampolinist on

the gymnastics team, too. He captured the NCAA three-meter springboard crown

in 1957, the first national diving title won by Michigan in 20 years, and was an

all-American for three seasons.

The IlAqua SpectacularII will afford local fans a chance to see Kimball's diving

and acrobatic talents in combination. A specially-constructed diving platform,

complete with trampoline, will catapult Kimball to within skimming range of the

rafters high above the pool, along with his fellow divers, two-time Olympic

champion Bob Webster and Minnesota diving coach Ron J aco who was runnerup to

Kimball for the world's professional title last year.

Kimball won four straight Minnesota state high school diving championships at

Rochester and was undefeated throughout his entire prep career, a fete which earned

him high school All-American honors for four years. He also competed in track,

winning his conference pole vault championship.

Currently diving coach at Michigan, Kimball has performed all over the world,

including such far-flung spots as Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, India, Egypt, Greece,

Italy, France, Spain and Ireland. He also starred at the Seattle World's Fair in

1962. Tickets are on sale at Cooke Hall. . ##H# Mailed December 1, 1964 For release upon receipt.

MINNEAPOLIS. - Olympic gold medals don't come easily. In the long, colorful

history of the Games there have been just two double wirmers in platform diving.

The most recent, Bob Webster, will be in action at the Cooke Hall Pool Saturday

at 8 p.m. when the University of Minnesota presents its first annual IIAqua

Spectacular."

Oddly enough, or significantly" the other two-gold medal diver is Webster's

former coach" Sammy Lee who captured the medal back in 1948 and '52. He coached

Vlebster when the latter was a school boy in Santa Ana,. California.

Webster won.his first Olympic championship in 1960. He was Big Ten three-

meter champ for Michigan the same year. He captured his second world's crown in

1964. In addition, Webster has won the following titles: 1963 Pan-American

platform diving, 1962 National AAU one-meter springboard" and 1964 AAU platform

diving. He toured the Far East in 1961 on a State Department good will tour.

Two other former University of Michigan All-American divers, Dick Kimball and

Ron Jaco, will join Webster Saturday in an exhibition of precision and comic diving.

Kimball" who coached the 1964 U.S. Olympic diving squad, is world's professional

diVing champion, and Jaco" Minnesota diVing coach, was runnerup to Kimball for the

pro crown.

The Gopher swimning team and anotrer Olympian" Virg Luken, will also

participate in the water show, first of its kind ever presented at the University.

MINNEAPOLIS. - John Mariucci's high-scoring University of Minnesota hockey

team, averaging 6.4 goals per game, invades Duluth Wednesday night for its first

encounter of the year with University of Minnesota Duluth.

The Gophers salvaged a split in last weekend's series at Michigan with a

thumping 10-3 victory Saturday after dropping a 7-6 squeaker Friday. The results

left Minnesota in second place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with

a 3-1-0 record. Michigan Tech took over the top spot by virtue of a two-game

sweep over North Dakota.

"We reaJ.ly came to life in the second game," Mariucci explains. "Just about

all our men played well. We got scoring from all three lines, and John Lothrop

played especially well in the goal."

The Gopher coach pointed out that Minnesota's defensive play still leaves

something to be desired, however. Saturday's game was the first in which the

opposition has not scored at least four goals.

Mariucci is not taking UMD lightly, especially after last year when the

Bulldogs took three out of four from the Gophers. In their first four games this

winter, the Duluthians have won a pair from Colorado College and dropped two to

North Dakota.

Wednesday's game will be the first of four scheduled between the two

Minnesota schools. At stake is the Taconite Hockey Trophy, now in the possession

of the Bulldogs. The trophy is awarded annually by the Duluth Blueline Club.

]UNNEAPOLIS. - The pell-mell University of Minnesota basketball squad has

come to the end of "easy street" as it reflects on victories over South Dakota

State, Drake, Iowa State, and Marquette and girds for the dual challenge of final

examinations and the impending clash with powerhouse Utah State University in

Williams Arena here Saturday, December 19.

The Aggies from Logan, Utah pose a serious threat to Minnesota's four..game

win skein. In his three years as head coach, LaDell Andersen has directed State

to season records of 22-7, 20-7, and 21-8. In each of these season's the Aggies

have made it into the NCAA regional playoffs. This year they play one of the

toughest intersectional schedules of any college basketball team in the nation

with such giants of the court as Butler, Bradley, San Francisco, Texas Western,

and Seattle on their non-Conference slate. This would indicate that Coach Andersen

is confident that his Aggies ''have what it takes" to stand tall in big-time

competition.

Minnesota's practice schedule for the coming week will be intOl':r,Fped by fall quarter final examinations, but once these are out of the way Coach John

Kundla plans to bear down in an effort to get the Gophers in top condition and

readiness for the Utah State game. State will come to the Twin Cities with the

advantage of a sharpening-up contest with ever-tough Bradley on December 17.

Latest official four-game statistics show Minnesota's five starters each in

two figures, with Lou Hudson leading the way on a 15.8 point average. He is

followed by Archie Clark (12.8), Mel Northway and Don Yates (11.5), and Terry Kunze (10.8).

MINNEAPOLIS. - It will be a long time between games for the University of

Minnesota hockey team which dropped a 6-5 decision to UMD Tuesday and will not

play again until it entertains the University of Manitoba at Williams Arena

December 29.

The Gophers lost their fourth in the last five starts against the fast­

improving Bulldogs from Duluth and now stand 3-3 for the season. They are in

better shape in the WCHA with a 3-1 mark. Their next Association series won't

be until January 8-9 when Michigan State comes to town.

Coach John Mariucci is unhappy With Gopher defensive lapses which have been

key factors in the large number of goals (4.84) scored by the opposition to

date. Fortunately, ItLnnesota has been even more productive on attack, scoring

an average of 6.17 goals per game.

1l0ur offense has been doing a good job, II says Mariucci, "but we can't afford

to continue this ragged defensive play. It puts too much of a burden on John

Lothrop in the goal. II

Lothrop has been a busy man. He has averaged almost 35 stops per game

and has come up with some outstanding efforts. His stop percentage is .877

despite the 29 goals scored by the opposition.

Gary Hokanson continues his blistering scoring pace. He has eight goals

and seven assists for 15 points. Hokanson's line partners, Doug Woog with 10

points and Bruce Larson with nine, are his nearest competitors, along with Roy

Nystrom, last year's scoring champ, who also has nine.

MINNEAPOLIS. -A collision of undefeated giants of the collegiate basketball

world, ,;lith a lofty national rating as the reward for victory, is in prospect for Saturday night when Utah State University and Minnesota clash in Williams Arene here. The Aggies have rolled over Idaho State 107-60; Butler 88-84; Loyola of Los Angeles 96-69; College of the Pacific 98-74; and Nevada 101-80. They face ever-tough Bradley at Peoria Thursday night before moving on to the Twin Cities to challenge the Gophers who mowed down South Dakota State, Drake, Iowa State, and Marquette before taking a respite from competition for final examinations presently under way. The powerful Aggies have posted a record of 68 victories and 22 losses under Coach LaDell Andersen (including their five victories this season) who is in his fourth season at the basketball helm. They participated in the NCAA regional playoffs last year, and are regarded as a good bet to gain them again this season. In capturing their five victories this winter the Aggies have averaged a whopping 98 points to 73.4 for the opposition. Scoring pacemaker for Utah State is All American Wayne Estes, 6-6 senior forward

from Anaconda, Montana. In State's first four victories (fifth game state are unavailab~e) Estes averaged 33.5 points per game, hit his field goals at a 47.4 clip, cashed 26 of 27 free throw chances, and snared 75 rebounds - an impressive 18.8 per-game average. Another standout in the Utah cast is LeRoy Walker, 6 foot jumping-jack forward who averaged 20 points and grabbed 34 rebounds in these games. Needless to say, the Gophers have their defensive work cut out for them come Saturday night.

An attractive high school preliminary starting at 6:15 p.m. finds Willmar, one of Minnesota's best, tangling with Superior (Wis.)

MINNEAPOLIS. - John Mariucci's league-leading University of Minnesota hockey

team ends a 20-day drought of activity Tuesday (Dec. 29) when it entertains the

University of Manitoba at Williams Arena, starting at 8 p.m.

The game will be the first between the Gophers and Bison since 1948. Manitoba

has been extremely tough for Minnesota to beat, having captured 15 victories in the

l7-game series. Most of the games have been extremely close, however. The largest

margin being the 5-0 Bison victory in 1937.

This year's Manitoba team is rated the strongest in recent years. Bolstered

by nine returning lettermen who helped guide the Bison to a second place tie in the

Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Association last year, Manitoba also has a

rookie crop which is considered the finest to play for the Canadian school in years.

Thus far, the Bison stand 2-1 in competition. They whipped the Winnipeg

Honarcl1s, a local Junior "A" club 8-0 and split with Brandon College, bowing 5-3

and winning 10-3.

The Gophers moved back into first place in the Western Collegiate Hockey

Association last weekend without lifting a stick. North Dakota repaid Michigan Tech

for an earlier double taste of defeat by sweeping a pair from the Huskies and

dumping Tech into a four-way tie for second place with the Sioux, Michigan and Denver.

record aboard a west-bound jet airplane Sunday and lay it on the line in Los Angeles t

Hem.oria1 Sports Arena against the University of Washington Monday at 3:30 p.m. P.S.T.

in the opening round of the Los Angeles Basketball Classic.

All games in which Minnesota competes will be aired by WIDL and WCCO, Twin Cities.

Heanwhi1e Coach John Kundla is fretting and stewing for fear the Gophers will not

be mentally and physically sharp as they go against the eight-team field that

includes Arizona, Iowa, Michigan State, Utah, Washington, Southern California, and

host UCLA. He was anything but pleased with the showing made by his charges as they

galloped by Loyola of Chicago 89 - 75 Tuesday night. "We were lucky to win, Il claims

Kundla. "It's not often that you can make 24 mechanical errors and pull through. I

hope we can snap out of it now that final examinations are over. We are going to

have to make every minute of practice count, for we don I t have much time to get ready

for our biggest test yet this season."

Kundla is slightly aghast at the two national news service polls that rate

Minnesota's basketball forces No. 3 in the nation. Laments John, "I sure hope our

players won't think they can take their clippings onto the floor at Los Angeles and

impress anyone with them. UCLA, Utah, and Arizona have real outstanding teams. If

we are fortunate enough to get by Washington, we'll have to play our very best to

have a chance against tough outfits like these."

In addition to the fast break that has proved so effective in their six wins to date, the Gophers will present a balanced scoring attack.

"The Gophers"

MINNEAPOLIS. -A slumping University of Minnesota hockey team will try to

snap a two-game losing streak Friday and Saturday when it renews an old but

long-dormant rivalry with Wisconsin at Madison. The Saturday game will be

televised locally by WTCN-TV (Channel 11), starting at 7:30 p.m.

The Gophers, after successive losses to University of Minnesota Duluth and

Manitoba, have seen their season record skid to a lackluster 3-4-0. Despite this

alarming fact, they still lead the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with a

3-1-0 mark. This weekend 1s action is the last non-league competition before Jolm

Mariucci r S skaters return to vTCHA play against Michigan state here the following weekend.

"Maroosh" was far from pleased with the Gophers I performance against Ma.nitoba~ Although rea.d.ily aclmowledging that the Bison have a fine hockey team, he was quick

to point out that the Gophers committed far too many mistakes to stay in contention.

Minnesota and Wisconsin will be meeting for the first time since 1935. The

Badgers dropped the ice sport after that season and only revived it last year. So

far this season they have fashioned a 6-2 record, sweeping series from Macalester,

st. Mary's (Winona) and Hamline and losing a pair to Michigan State by scores of 9-2 and 9-0.

In the overall series, dating back to 1922, Minnesota holds a 35-6 victory margin. Four games have ended in ties.

Gary Hokanson continues to lead Hi.nnesota scoring with 15 points, despite

being blanked by Manitoba. Doug Woog follows with 12.
