Icemen
By JIM TINDALL
Michigan's hockey team, just a
few steps behind Ursula Andress,
travelled by air to blustery Min-
nesota yesterday looking for their
seventh and eighth victims of the
season.
The Wolverines don't plan to
use any special weapons, such as
guns under their jerseys, but they
did hold a solid practice yesterday
in hopes of playing the type of
hockey they are capable of play-
ing.
The only difference appears to
be that the Gophers know Mich-
igan is coming as they were warn-

Six Goals
Co-captain Woog was third in
the conference in scoring last
year and is a three year veteran
of WCHA play. As a soph he tal-
lied 24 points and a junior he hit
for 27. Thus far in Minnesota's
nine games he had 10 points on
six goals and four assists.
