This one is for evenge. It wasonly a year ago that Michigan vas 6-0 and atop .both polls when Min- hesota shut them out 16-0 in a game Bo Ichembechler called: "the poorest of- ensive game we've ever played." But that one was up in Minnesota, on real grass, and that day the grass was Net and slowed the Wolverines down. oday's game, starting at 1:30, is in ichigan Stadium on the artificial ,reen. "WE HAVE A faster track than up here," said Schembechler, "and speed s very important." Minnesota coach Cal Stoll is making is fourth trip to Ann Arbor, he has yet o see his team score a point here. His eams have been basted (42-0, 1972), pasted (49-0, 1 The Gophers, 3-3, are currently tied with the Wolverines (5-1) x in the Big Ten, both with 2-1 records. Minnesota is riding a two game win streak, having beaten both Iowa and Northwestern. Minnesota has an advantage coming into this duel for the Little Brown Jug which goes to the game's winner, because the Wolverines are hurting physically. BOTH OF MICHIGAN'S starting running backs, Russell Davis and Harlan Huckleby, are nursing injuries. Davis has a bad knee, hurt last week against Wisconsin, Wvhile Huckleby has a groin injury. Huckleby's backup, Roosevelt Smith, is also injured, with a bad shoulder. Flashy frosh Butch Woolfolk, the fastest Wolverine, is expected to start at tailback, while Lawrence Reid will start at fullback. Billy Dufek, out since, the opening game with a bad ankle, has practiced all week and is expected to play. "This will be a toughgame," said Schembechler. "I don't see how anybody could make us 20 point favorites."f IF MINNESOTA beats Michigan and Purdue beats Iowa, then the Wolverines will no longer control their own destiny. Michigan would have to defeat Purdue themselves and hope someone else would beat them too for Michigan to return to the Rose Bowl. "To win this one," analyzed Stoll, "we'll have to move the football and stay on the field with our offense. If it's lopsided in time of possession and plays, like Michigan 80 plays and us 50, we're not going to win the game." The Michigan defense, with three shutouts to its credit already this year, worries Stoll. "Nobody scores on them in the second half," he said, and he was almost correct, except Michigan State got one touchdown. "They have unbelievable speed," Stoll continued. "They're the quickest defense we'll play alli year. MICHIGAN MINNESOTA STOLL AND HIS seniorless offense, every starter and top backup will return next year, would very much like to keep the Wolverine defenders out on the field. "If Leach, Davis and Huckleby are on the bench they can't hurt us," he said. Huckleby and Davis might be on the bench, but quarterback Rick Leach will lead the offense as usual. Leach needs only one more pass completion to be the all-time leader in Michigan history for completions in a career. Leach and Don Moorhead are presently tied with 200 completes. Leach is nearly a cinch to break the record this year. Minnesota will counter with junior Mark Carlson, a steadily improving performer at quarterback. Carlson will be supported by the running of Kent Kitzmann and Marion Barber, who both weigh over 200. Minnesota's 16-0 win last year was the only time a Michigan-Schembechler team has been shut out. In that game, the Wolverines fumbled three times and were intercepted twice. Minnesota neglected to turn the ball over at all.

However, the Wolverines played the perfect hosts as they waited for everyone to get settled before they began to play good hockey. Duluth held a slight advantage over Mihigan in the opening period although neither team did much more than skate the slickness off the ice surface for the first ten minutes of the game. The Bulldogs opened the game's scoring after their own forward, Scott Carlston, was whistled off the ice at 11:56, for tripping. Michigan's captain, Mark Miller, attempted to set up the Wolverine power play with a centering pass deep in Duluth's end of the rink. Duluth's John Harrington intercepted the puck and skated down the! ice with teammate Glenn Kulyk trailing behind on a two on one. Muzzled Bulldo Once both players crossed Michigan's blue line, Kulyk headed right for the net-, getting there just in time to tip Harrington's shot past Wolverine goalie Rudy Varvari. The Bulldogs upped their lead to 2-0 four minutes later when assistant captain John Rothstein blazed a shot past a partially-screened Varvari. But Michigan got back in the game, when it scored with only :53 seconds left in the period. After Duluth's second goal, Michigan carried the play to the Bulldogs. Then, with time running out in the period, Blue defenseman Mark Perry capped off a series of good chances when he netted a hard, low shot from the point. Teammate Mike Coffman gave the crowd a thrill by just missing on a breakaway with only three seconds left. ' Michigan's Doug Todd, the game's first star, commenced his team's comeback with a beautiful shot that Bulldog goalie Jeff Johnson is still looking for. Coming down ice on a two on one, Todd used a tlldogs, 6-4 Duluth defenseman and Wolverine Gordie Hampsop as decoys. Johnson didn't know where to turn and, Todd capitalized on .his opportunity, muscling the puck past the bewildered goalie. The Wolverines pulled away from Duluth in thre third period, scoring two goals in the first sevef), minutes. Both goals, scored by Miller and freshmang Murray Eaves came off set-ups by.Todd. "We worked hard tonight," said a pleased Blue coach Dan Farrell. "We broke out of our end better this week (than last week against Bowling Green:)': and that helped set up our goals." Bulldog coach Gus Hendrickson was disappointed- by the loss though he thought his team also played well; "Michigan caught us on a couple of two on ones, r; he said. "They converted, them, and that was the- ballgame." The two teams meet for the series finale, 7:3: tonight at Yost. . ; 4 LUE DEFENSIVE captain Jerry Meter awaits the snap to go into action.

Pistons ege Kings as Green hits stride By ERNIE DUNBAR Special to theDaily PONTIAC-Rickey Green is at it again. Green, the former Wolverine speedster, resurrected a slumbering Detroit Piston offense late in the game last night against the Kansas City Kings, sparking the Pistons to a come-from-behind 107-102 victory at the Silverdome. Green, in his second year as a pro and first in a Detroit uniform, came off the bench late in the third quarter and immediately helped erase a 10-point Kansas City lead, triggering a potent fast break and forcing tur- novers in an effective all-court press. And, when he was intentionally fouled with but five seconds left in the game and Detroit up 103-102, he cooly dropped in a pair of free throws to sew up the game. The Pistons' forward M. L. Carr sank two more free throws with no time on the clock to provide the final margin of victory., "I just had to go in there and make them and not think about it," said Green of his clutch shooting. "When you start thinking about it, that's when you miss." But Green, who ended up with 11 points in 25 minutes of action, had plen- - ty of help, as six Pistons scored in double figures. Center Bob Lanier led the team with 24 points, including six in-a-row when his teammates were looking for him down the stretch. The rookie, tandem of John Long and Terry Tyler scored 23 and 17 points respectively. The triumph over the Kings (now 3-4) was the second straight for the Pistons, who lost their first five outings of the year. Dick Vitale, supposedly a full-time coach, wasn't around to witness the contest. The Pistons new coach was banned from the arena by NBA Commissioner Larry O'Brien for his tirade with the officials during last Wednesday's game with Cleveland. Fill-in coach Richie Audeato was understandably pleased in the win- ner's locker room after the game. "I just think that our determination in the second half and the press we started in there were the keys." On the short end of a 76-60 score with 2:58 left in the third quarter, Adueato's Pistons certainly needed all the determination they could muster. But the press began giving the Kings some trouble and the Pistons went on a 13-2 blitz to reduce the margin to 74-73 heading into the final quarter. First Period SCORING-1.

A's sold by Finley FOOTBALL OFFICIALS NEEDED, contact: Sandy Sanders 763-1313 r '4. OAKLAND (AP) - Charles Finley has agreed to sell the Oakland A's to a Bay area group which will keep the troubled American League baseball franchise in Oakland, the head of the group said yesterday. Ed Bercovich, an Oakland furniture dealer, would not say how much his group would pay for the team but the Oakland Tribune quoted reliable sour- ces as saying the price is $12 million. "We've sat down and worked out a mutually agreeable deal," Bercovich said. "Mr. Finley has been very, very nice to deal with and super from the very first day. "HE TOLD US what he wanted, he told us how he wanted it. We told him, 'fine'." "I'm willing and ready to sell," Finley told the Tribune from his Chicago office. "I'm convinced they have the money." Bercovich said final details on the sale would be worked out when the American League meetings begin Dec. 4. "I'd much prefer to sell to the Oakland group for one reason only," Finley said. "I want to see American League baseball remain in the Bay area." Finley's lease at the Oakland Coliseum has another nine years to run and prevented him from selling the team to Denver oilman Marvin Davis earlier this year. or stop by the Intramural Sports Building Dept. of Recreational Sports I 32 SCORES College Hockey MICHIGAN 6, Minnesota-Duluth 4 NBA New Jersey Nets 123, Cleveland 108 Detroit 107, Kansas City 102 " Nike " Adidas " Tiger " Brooks * New Balance "WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
