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- ed by the Big Ten and WCHA computers.
