Icers look to rebound against Gophers OWNER COUNTERPUNCHEw

r'age iNine

By ELLIOTT BERRY
As the floundering Wolverine
icers struggle to regroup their
forces, which after sputtering for
the two previous weeks finally
collapsed under the Spartan on-
slaught last weekend, they might
gain a little solace from looking
at the plight of Minnesota, their
opponents for this weekend.
While the Wolverines have lost
three in a row and four of their
last six contests, the Gophers have
been able to .salvage only two ties
out of their last seven starts.
This ; however does not imply
that Michigan will be in for an
easy weekend. The Gophers sport
a very hardhitting defense and a
brilliant junior goaltender which
should severely test the Wolverine
attack.
The netminder is Murray Mc--
Lachlan, "sophomore of the year"
in the WCHA last season and cur-
kently ranked third among the
league's fine crop. of goaltenders
with a 2.8 goals against per game
average.
While McLachlan has often
been superb in keeping opponents
off the scoreboard he certainly
has not been the only factor.
Sophomore rearguard W a 11 y
Olds and Senior Don Fraser anchor
a bruising defense corps while
Junior Steve Ross and 6'2" 215
pound Frank Sanders, one of the
biggest players in the WCHA, pro-
vide the Gophers with some ad-
ditional muscle.
The Gophers have ten letterman
who banged heads with Michigan
in their six meetings last. season.
Wolverine defenseman Phil Gross
recalled, "Those games (with Min-
nesota) were certainly the hardest
hitting of the season and this one
should not be any different."
Last week the checking -game
was about all that clicked for the
Wolverines against the Spartans,
as Gross commented, "We didn't
play good hockey but I'm sure they
we're feeling the effects of the hit-
ting a good couple of days after."
Unfortunately for the Gophers
their offense hasn't been -nearly
as consistant as their defense.
Much like the Wolverines, Min-
nesota has had a one line offense
but while the Wolverines, .have
'been getting more balanced scor-
Ing of late, Minnesota is still de-
pending almost solely on the line
of Bill Klatt, Rick Yurich, and
Pete Fichuk.
Captain Klatt, who rocketed to
Jast year's WCHA scoring cham-
'pionship, is again the Gophers'
leading scorer and is currently

sixth in league scoring, with ten
goals and six assists.
Klatt's center ice man, Pete
Fichuk, is tied for tenth in scoring
with Michigan's leading scorer,
speedster Dave Perrin. When
Klatt or Fichuk are kept off the
score sheet their other linemate,
winger Rick Yurich is usually able
to dent the mesh.
Minnesota Coach Glen Sonmor
has done quite abit of juggling,
second , and third personnel in
order to find an effective com-
bination but so far his efforts have
been something short of reward-
ing.
Meanwhile the inability of his
second and third lines to put the
puck in the net has nothleft the
defense unaffected. "When you
play andustill don 't score your
defensemen have a tendency to
gamble, trying to creep up and get
that breakaway and it's all to easy
to get caught," Sonmor noted.
Unlike tie Gophers, the Wol-
verines haven't had one area
which has consistantly plagued
them. Instead they have been
prone to great inconsistancy in
every department. For a while they
alnost made a habit of being very
good on one night and playing at
the opposite extreme the next. -
Last weekend the team seemed
to suffer "a complete breakdown as
even ace goaltender Jim Keough
found the going tougher than
usual.
This weekend the Wolverines'
inconsistancy could be a source'of
optimism, for - it would be very
true to their season pattern for
them to follow last week's debacle
with a very fine performance.

Part of Coach Stager's weekend
plans include having his swimmers
aim for records. He plans to use
a medley relay team of Kinkead,
Bisbee, Bello, 'and Mahony to go
after the NCAA record.
"I don't know whether we'll be
able to break the NCAA this week-
end, but we should be able to at
least break the Michigan record,"
said Stager. The current record
for the NCAA is 3:29.5. The Mich-
igan record is 3:32.3.
While having three meets in
one weekend can be trying on his
team, Stager feels that it will
provide a good test of his team's
depth. "We have enough depth to
juggle the swimmers around so
that none will be hurt by too
much work."
The heavy schedule this week-
end is a result of the addition of
three new meets to the season.
Southern Illinois, Illinois, and
Southern Methodist are all new to
the schedule.
The only way to fit them in,
according to Stager, was to fit
three in this weekend. "We could
hive scheduled meets in Decem
ber, but with the long winter
break I prefer to start the season
in January," he explained.
