£ ALCONS COMING OFF FINEST SEASON: Blue face BGSU in ice opener 4 By DAN PERRIN The seemingly endless baseball season is finally over and now it's time for cold weather sports, namely hockey. The 1978-79 seasoj opens tonight for the Michigan hockey team as they face off against the Bowling Green State University (Ohio) Falcons at Yost Ice Arena. While the Blue icers have consistently been the favorite in ,past series with Bowling Green, this year is a different story. Michigan finished ninth in the 10- team Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) last season with a 15-20-1 overall record, failing to make the conference playoffs. .ON THE OTHER end of the rink,the Falcons are coming off the finest season in the team's 10-year history. Following a pair of losses to the Wolverines in last year's opening series, coach Ron Mason , nd his squad skated to a 31-8 overall record and cap- tured the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) crown. The Ohioans sailed to a third-place finish in the NCAA Championships, the first time ever a CCHA school has finished in the top four in the country. - "Finishing third was a great thrill for us," said Coach Mason. "It gave a lot of credibility to the league and has helped the school quite a bit." LEADING THE way for the Falcons this year is a group of seniors including, all-American defenseman Ken Morrow, high scoring John Markell and captain Paul Titanic. Morrow; the first all-American at Bowling Green, scored 26 points (eight goals, 18 assists) as a junior and is counted on to lead the defense once- again. Markell (33 goals - 28 assists - 61 points), CCHA Co-Player of the Year, and Titanic (15-20-35) return to bolster an offense that has lost three outstan- ding forwards to graduation. The departed include Mike Hartman, who led the team in goals while playing only half the season, and Canadians Byron Shutt and Dave Easton. The graduated trio combined for 128 points. COUNTERING the Falcon attack for the dekers will be three solid front lines consisting of seven veterans and two freshmen. Junior Dan Lerg (21-28-49), is the top returning scorer and is flanked by senior captain Mark Miller (19-14-33) and third-year man Doug Todd (11-13-24).a A pair of talented newcomers, Terry Cullen and Murray Eaves, will center 1978-79 Michigan Hockey Schedule Oct.20........ ............

Both were highly recruited and are ex- pected to adjust to big-time hockey without too much trouble. Cullen will be especially fired up for the Bowling Green series since two former teammates are now skating for the Falcons. Freshmen George McPhee and Brian MacLellan will start at wing spots against the , dekers. The threesome played together on a junior hockey team in Guelph, Ontario. "EVER SINCE we found out what schools we'd be going to, we've been hassling each other," explained Cullen. They just sent me a letter saying how bad they're going to beat us. They're two pretty tough hockey players." Falcon coach Mason believes the series will be good for both teams. "This is a good chance to find out where you're at early in the season," remarked the coach. "We'll try to get everybody in, look at them and evaluate them. "It's a great opening series, definitely very competitive," continued Mason. "We don't have to travel far to play a school with a great hockey program." When the two teams face off tonight for the eighth time, the Falcons will be going for their first win ever against the Blue icers. The series then moves to Bowling Green Saturday night, where the Falcons have won 23 consecutive games, dating back to their opening game loss to last year's Wolverines. Game time tonight is 7:30 at Yost Arena. The Michigan Daily-Friday, October 20, 1978-Page 11 Pistons trade Ford By The Associated Press BOSTON-The Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association moved to bolster their defense yesterday, acquiring veteran guard Chris' Ford from the Detroit Pistons for guard Earl Tatum. Ford, a 6-foot-6 ironman who has played in 267 consecutive games for the Pistons since Feb. 15, 1975, has averaged 8.5 points a game in six NBA seasons. He also hold the Detroit record with 179 steals in the 1976-77 season. Celtics President and General Manager Red Auerbach said the club also received a future draft choice along with Ford in the deal for Tatum, a third- year pro acquired from Indiana last July for a first-round draft pick in 1980 and cash. "Chris is primarily a playmaker and an extra special defensive player who shoots well enough," Auerbach said. a9 WORLD'S ONLY Cheesecake ** *SOURMET NATURAL FOOD RESTAURANT 314 E.

Albion By BOB EMORY The Michigan field hockey team tuned up nicely for its upcoming Big Ten Tournament by dumping Albion College 4- yesterday at Ferry Field. In what some of the players said was "a kinia boring game," the Wolverines managed to avoid any fits of yawning as they won their fourth consecutive game and raised their record to 6-2 on the year. "IT SEEMED A little slow at first," commented forward Mary Callam, who scored the first two Wolverine goals. It was the sixth and seventh goals of the season for the Bloomfield Hills junior and the 27th of her career at Michigan. She currently ranks second on the all- time scoring list. Callam scored her first goal late in the first half when Jan Isaac fed her a nice pass from the left side of the Albion net and she drilled a low shot past goaltender Mary Jane Lang from 15 feet out. Dea Mazzetta set up Callam's second goal on an almost identical play and the Wolverines led 2-0 before Albion made the game close on a pretty scoring play of their own. Jill Barry stopped a cor- ner pass from beside the Wolverine net with her hand, teeing it up perfectly for teammate Tommi Polizzi who un- corked a blazer that Wolverine netmin- der Laura Pieri had no chance on. MARY HIBBARD and Lisa Kaplan scored the insurance goals for the Wolverines, who head up to East Lan- sing tomorrow to compete in the Big Ten Tournament. Head coach Phyllis Ocker said her team is as ready as they'll ever be to make a strong showing. "We'll get a phance to play some tough teams ,Michigan State and Purdue) and it should be a real good test for us now," she said. In a second game played later in the afternoon, the Michigan junior varsity §quad defeated the Albion junior var- }ity, 3-0. IU~xpick" Kessinger. CHICAGO - Shortstop Don Kessinger yesterday was named player-manager of the Chicago White Sox. The announcement was made by White Sox President Bill Veeck, who 'said, "We feel that Don Kessinger has outstanding leadership qualities and he will be particularly suited to leading the young defensive ballclub that the White, Sox will field next year." KESSINGER succeeds Larry Doby, who was named manager last June 30, and thereby became the second black manager in major league baseball. Doby took over from Bob Lemon, who went on to lead the New York Yankees to the world championship. Doby had a 37-50 record with the White Sox. The Sox also announced that Joe Sparks and Bobby Winkles have been signed on as coaches under Kessinger, and Fred Martin will become the pit- ching coach.

"There is no question in my mind that Steinbrenner is questioning the in- tegrity of the umpires," Froemming, a Milwaukee resident, told the Associated Press. STEINBRENNER stirred the latest controversy to surround himself and his world championship baseball team when he complained in an interview of the quality of the umpiring during the. Series., "Our judgement is questioned all the time. That is the nature of our job;" Froemming said. "But our integrity has never been questioned by people or club officials in the game of baseball. "Fo r Mr. Steinbrenner, president of, the Yankees, to question our integrity is a serious allegation which I am sure Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn will take care of," Froemming con- tinued. "Our association, through out attor- ney, Richie Phillips of Philadelphia, will pursue this to the end so fans of this game of baseball will have the answer to this ignorant statement," he said. -AP Wings 2, Rangers 2;., Peterson breaksleg By PETER BORMUTH Special to The Daily DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings returned home to Olympia Thursday evening and proceeded to play the New York Rangers to a 2-2 tie, before a home ice audience of 14,172. Jimmy Rutherford turned in a masterful performance as the surprise starter in the Detroit goal. The Red Wings showed their skating superiority early, controlling the play on the ice. The first period ended as it began with both goalies playing superbly in the nets to preserve the scoreless tie. Bergman scored the first goal with 8:55 left in the second period and Detroit maintained their 1-0 advantage until the third period of play. Dennis Hextall scored off a deflection from Reed Larson with 10:25 to go in the contest and Detroit settled into a defensive game until Tkaczuk scored a power play goal with 3:35 remaining. New York then tied the game on a goal from DeBlois at the 17 24 mark on a play where Detroit's defense was committed offensively on the far end of the ice. Rutherford was pulled out of his goal unsuccessfully in an effort to stop DeBlois shot. The! tie brings the Wings record to 1-2-3 for the season. Centerman Brent Peterson was injured late in the third period and was taken to the lockerroom on a stretcher.
