Friday, January 16, i 970.3 TH E !Vl I CH t GAN DAt LY Page Nine ichi cers hope to conquer old nemesis By BILL DINNER A combination of last Friday's offensive antics, together with Saturday's fine display of defen- sive agility, need be in order if the Michigan hockey team wishes to improve on its WCHA record. This weekend's two-game series with old nemesis Michigan Tech begins at 8 p.m. tonight at th'e Coliseum; the second game, same time on Saturday. The Wolverines, who gained their first sweep of the season, wning Colorado College twice st week, have not won a pair from the Huskies since 1966 and Michigan has lost its' last seven outings. Michigan Tech is 8-4-1 overall and 3-1-1 in the WCHA, with all five WCHA games wading through ertime. Last weekend Tech aded 3-2 tallies with Wisconsin, and squeaked by Colorado College 4-3 Tuesday. The Wolverines, who stand 9-6 overall and 5-3 in the WCHA, have 14 games remaining. Nine are on the road for both teams, u the Huskies have 17 games Michigan needs the weekend series'if it hopes to stay in con- tention in the WCHA. "Naturally we were very pleased to split the series with Wisconsin after the loss Friday," commented uskie head coach John MacIn- nes. "Wisconsin's strong fore-i checking hampered our offense and their penalty killers did an excellent Job." Tech's goaltender, Gorden Mc- Rae, had two excelent games a 10 on g with freshman centerj ayne Pushie and juriior Ken Tucker Who turned in a fine series. Ron -,Amadio, a senior from Sault Ste. Marie, turned in what MacInnes called, "the best per- formance of his career," against Wisconsin. 4Macinnes, however, is still shuffling the -players, "We played a much stronger series defensively than we have been, and our prob- lems have not been on defense." Foreseen is a major overhaul of the. forward ,lines, with Lyle Mof- fatt moving to center between ushie and Al McLeod: " MacInnes considers the Wolver- ines. ,one of the better teams, "We'll have our hands full there, without question. They're a very offensive minded club: and we'll have to be sharp." Last weekend the Wolverines ored ya total of '14 goals while "ving 7 scored against them. Merle Falk led them with three for the series, while Barney Pas- hak, captain Dave Perrin, and Brian Slack each managed to put the red light on twice. Orr estal By The Associated Press BOSTON- Bobby Orr set a National Hockey League record with his 50th and 51st assists of he season yesterday as the Boston ruins defeated the Los Angeles Kings 6i-3. rOrr assisted on the Bruins'. fourth goal by defenseman Rick Smith ir the first period to tie the seasonal assist mark for de- fensemen set by Pat Stapleton of hicago last season. His assist on Phil Espesito's goal in the final period broke the mark. Orr, who is 21, and in only. his fourth NHL season, now holds all the single season scoring marks available to a defenseman. He set the goal scoring record with 21 and the point scoring mark with .4, both last season.

The two teams meet tonight at Matt Mann Pool at 7:30. The great experiment will allow Coach Gus Stager to test some of his team to discover who'll be ready for SMU, Purdue and Princeton next weekend. "We'll use both freshmen and varsity, but since Princeton does- n't compete with its freshmen we especially want to find out about the capabilities of our varsity. So it won't be an exclusively fresh- man meet," Stager said. Stager continued, "Toronto is using the meet basically to see how they match up against what most people consider a good col- Ii3 daily NIGHT EDITOR: PAT ATKINS lege team. They don't expect to beat us and so they'll be experi- menting a great deal, too." Individual duels will highlight the meet. Overall Toronto may not be much competition, but they have some fine swimmers who are expected to give the Wolverines a battle in certain events. As Stager views the meet, "It will be an in- teresting meet and will show some good swimming." One of the more interesting duels will be the grudge match between Bill Kennedy and To, ronto's Jim Shaw. Stager consid- ers Shaw Toronto's best. Ken- nedy is from London, Ontario, and has met Shaw, who hails from To- ronto, several times. However, Kennedy has never been able to beat him. Shaw has two years maturity and experience over Kennedy but Stager feels that in this meet he is ready to beat Shaw for the firstb time. In the sprints Toronto will at- tack with another of their best, Theo Van Ryn. Van Ryn is the fastest in Canada in the 50-yard freestyle and is considered one of the best competitors on the team. Stager plans to use the Zann twins, Greg and Bob, to counter- attack him. In the breaststroke, Wolverine Carl Miller will meet Ross Bal- lantyne. Miller will also compete in the individual medley and wile get a chance to take on Shaw in that event. Stager views the 200-yard but- terfly as a match race for the team. Freshmen Tim Norlen and Larry Day can expect competi- tion from teammates Gary Kin- kead and Juan Bello. Toronto doesn't seem to have anyone who'll put up a serious battle in this event but their co-captain Terry Bryan could be the race's dark- horse. Stager expects to use distance freestylers Mike Casey and Dave Kelley in their events so as to prepare them for the trio of meets coming up. SMU is the meet the whole team has been working toward since Dec. 27. However, they have been looking toward it since last year when a fired up SMU squad man- -Daily-Thomas R. Copi MICHIGAN'S MERLE FALK (12) scored his second goal of the night when he broke up a pass inside the Wolverine blue line and raced in all alone for the tally, inroad to a 8-7 victory over Colorado College last Saturday. The Wolverines will try to im- prove on their three game winning streak tonight against Michigan Tech. JUAN BELLO, one of Michi- gan's all-around swimmers in the middle of the backstroke leg of the, 200-yard individual medley. Bello won the event against Southern Illinois last week as the Wolverines capsized the Salukis. In this event, Bello, an All-American, is the defend- ing Big Ten champion. In the 1968 ,Olympics he finished fourth in the individual medley while competing for Peru. aged to upset the visiting Wolver- ines. The tankers are hoping to repay this southern hospitality. SMU is the best team in the southwest and this will be the toughest meet of the season. The team is preparing for it with en- thusiasm. Stager describes this, "The team would .very much like to win. We're not peaking or taper- ing for any one meet, but have been working gradually for all of them. We're not doing anything special because it's SMU. We're working hard this week and intend to swim through the Toronto meet and the three next week." The team really wants to avenge last year's loss but there's a hard task ahead of them. ,SMU has won 70} straight dual meets and is not looking for an upset in Ann Arbor next week. Stager thinks the Wol- verines will be ready especially since their spirit is already high. He comments that "About one- third of the team has been com- ing back for'special practices at ten every night." Casey and Kelley will be tested tonight because the distance events are those where the Wolverines must pick up some points to win. + $10 per mouth FREE Service and Delivery ---NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED_-- CALL: N1eja.c TV Rentals. 662-5671 SERVING BIG 10 SCHOOLS SINCE 1961 a a a a a - ~ aa a a a - i i i i i i i a p GRID MENTORS' POLL Bo designated Coach of Year WASHINGTON (P) - Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler,. who suffered a mild heart attack shortly before "his team played in the Rose Bowl, was named yes- terday the 1969 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association.

The 13 National Conference owners, closeted at a midtown hotel with Comissioner Pete Rozelle in an attempt to resolve the long- standing dilemma, broke up the session shortly before 9 p.m., EST. They will meet again at 9:30 a.m.,] EST, today at the commissioner's offices. Rozelle left the meeting saying there was no progress to report. It is the fifth such meeting since last May, when the American Conference was agreed upon and aligned into three divisions of four, four and five teams. Rozelle, who has vowed to keep the owners in New York "until we have a resolution on this, one way or another," had been closeted with them since yesterday's session began at 1:30 p.m., EST, an aide said. The owners are seeking agree- ment on a three-division set-up to match that of the new American Conference for the 1970 season, when the merged leagues will operate for the first time from inder the same roof. Thus far, however, the owners have been unable to get together on a 5-4-4 alignment because of a host of differences over such con- siderations as geography, weather, SPEEDY1 Copy and Duplicating Center Typing-Printing Xerox Copies 100 COPIES-$1.95 601 E.

Rozelle has indicated he might step in to effect a settlement, al- though he is not empowered to make an arbitrary decision. "I do not have the authority to move in, but I have the respon- sibility to see that it's done," he said after a fruitless .five-hour meeting Wednesday.
