Rough Michigan, Maroosh Disagree you aren't going to risk in jury doing things like that." Said Ryman: "I admire our boys the way they take their lives in their hands out there. Our officials do the best job they can. But a lot of these visiting teams just goad them into By DICK GORDON MinneupolU Slur Stuff Writer There is not a feud brewing, maybe, but an honest disagreement between the Minnesota and Michigan hockey camps. As these long-time puck rivals renew action at Ann Arbor Friday and Saturday, they can't concur on how rough the college sport should be. Ontario born forward Jim Coyle, one of the Wolverine netminders, thinks it would be much better if local officials didn't call them so close.

"There are going to be support the college rules. "He's the president of the American College Hockey Coaches' association and a member of the NCAA rules committee, isn't he?" says Maroosh. The main difference between pro and college rules is that the former allow body-checking all over the ice, the latter just in the team's defensive zone. Claimed Mariucci: "Actually, I have never seen pros in the National league do the little chippy things with their sticks and their knees that Michigan did up here. When you are getting paid for playing, more and more American college stars playing pro hockey," says Coyle.

"They would do much better if they got used to the rougher style right off. Furthermore, most players like hard-checking games better and so do the crowds. And it's always hard for me to understand why your coach, John Mariucci, is against it. No one played rougher hockey than he did with the Black Hawks." Naturally, Mariucci's wrist did not need to be twisted to evoke a reply. "We want to have hockey spread as much as possible in the high schools and colleges," he said.

"There are a lot of people who still don't understand the game and will be resentful of it if there are a lot of brawls or serious injuries." Said Marsh Ryman, Gopher freshman coach: "You know what. Murray Murdoch (the old New York Ranger and now Yale coach) tells the Canadians when they want rougher hockey. Why don't you sign to play pro right away and not bother with college? Then you'll get a four-year head start." Both Mariucci and Ryman -think Al Renfrew, the Michigan coach, should calling things and looking like homers." Added Mariucci: "Michigan' will never play at Ann Arbor the way they did up here. Fritz Crisler (the Wolverine athletic director) wouldn't stand for it." Renfrew, a Canadian himself and a former Michigan star, spent most of Sunday with Maroosh. And he called him on another matter by long-distance phone yesterday.

The two are good friends And Friday the "friendly rivalry" resumes with second place in the Western Collegiate Hockey association at stake. pWil A 4 1 -1 tl JJl -Vs.

UPI Teleplioto. War With AFL NFL Winning ayer NEW YORK (UPI) -The Vm GRIrr MONEY AIDS HOUSTON CHARLES JOHNSON'S Lowdown on Sports National Football league is winning the war with the young American league over the signing of the best college players for next season, a United Press International survey showed today. Although the opportunities for making the grade appear to be better in the AFL, the leading college stars, by a ratio of more than 2 to 1, have indicated they would 4 far i 150-game schedule will be played among Indianapolis, Louisville (the only two charter members left), Omaha, Denver, Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. Meanwhile, a number of major league players have signed contracts. Here they are: Outfielder John Collison has signed with the Phillies.

Earlier yesterday the Phillies signed infielder Joe Koppe. Pitcher Bob Anderson siqned with the Chicaao Cubs. Lost year he was 9-11 at Wetlern Michigan college. The St Louis Cardinals signed first baseman B'll While, pitcher Bob Miller and outfielder Charley James. Sad Sam Jones, winningest Ditcher for the Giants, has returned his signed contract He'll get about $25,000.

Velema outfielder Hank Bauer signed with the A't for a reported $27,000, The Pirates gned rookie pitchers tarl Francis and Tommy Sisk. Veteran catcher Del Rice signed with the Los Angeles Angels. Cleveland signed veteran Tito Francona and Jim Gront and rookie outfielders John McLane and Al Luolow. I rather risk their pro playing i chances in the tougher-to-! make NFL. NFL clubs have signed 33 I of their leading 49 draft picks, according to the UPI survey; AFL clubs have an DON'T FEEL TOO SORRY for the two new members of the American league the Washington Senators and the Los Angeles Angels.

They will start the 1961 season from scratch. Their rosters now include castoffs from eight other teams and some free agents. After these two clubs received their allotment at $75,000 per man, baseball smarties immediately predicted they would finish ninth and tenth in the race. Some guaranteed it. Ed Doherty, general manager of the Senators, can hardly be called optimistic about his 1961 roster.

But he's not ready to toss in the sponge. "We did well on our pitching and out- -field selections," is Ed's sizeup. "We need HOUSTON, Texas The Houston Sports Association purchased the American Association franchise here clearing the biggest obstacle between Houston and major league baseball. And an HSA official said a big factor in the purchase was an agreement between the Minneapolis-St. Paul entry in the American league and the American Association.

The official, who asked his name not be used, said the estimated $100,000 indemnity the Houston Buffs get from Calvin Griffith's payment to the league helped sway the Buffs into selling their franchise to the HSA. The HSA still must satisfy the association, but that isn't regarded as a major problem now because the HSA will have a vote on any indemnity as a league member. The only other problem now is where the unnamed, team will play. Harris county has set a second bond election for Jan. 31 to seek approval from voters to build the stadium with $22 million tax-backed bonds instead of the $15 million in revenue bonds approved in 1958.

The St. Louis Cardinals sold the Buffs in 1958 to Marty Marion and Milton Fischmann of St. Louis. Fischmann and Marion sold 80 per cent of the stock to a Houston group in 1959. Meanwhile, Jim Burris, Association president, an nounces bis league will operate with six clubs this season.

Charleston, W. will not field a team. A 1 1 jo- V. nounced the signing of only II of their top 31 choices. Seventeen of these AFL draftees already have signed with NFL clubs and one has gone to Canada (all-America guard Tom Brown of Minnesota).

So far, nine of the 13 NFL teams have signed their No. 1 pick. Not one NFL team has lost a first draft choice to either the AFL or the Canadian league. Four other NFL help in the infield, particularly at second base. Maybe we'll make a deal.

"I have made some small wagers already that Washington and Los Angeles won't finish ninth and tenth. They aren't as helpless as some say," he commented. Los Angeles' forte is hitting power with quite a few veterans who can wreck the best of pitching.
