The weakness was Falcon goaltender Wally Charko's glove side as Baseotto, Doug Todd, and Dan Lerg all slid shots into the left hand corner of the net to get the Wolverines' season off to a positive start. All three of Baseotto's goals found Charko's weak side and the Calgary, Alberta native couldn't have found a better way to open his Michigan career. I'm just happy that we won," said Baseotto. "'We came down here to win and we did. I'm happy, but I'm not satisfied with the way I played. "I'm never satisfied." Basetto opened the scoring just 2.33 into the game. The Falcons Yves Pelland was -whist ed off for a tripping call and Murray Eaves, in an effort to keep the puck in Bowling Green's zone, slapped it weakly through a few defen- semen and it came right out to Baseot- to's stick, who slid it along past Charko. Baseotto scored again two minutes later when he skated all alone past two Falcon defensemen down the left side' and shot another low one past Charko. Two minutes later, Steve Richmond, a sophomore defenseman who last year $,cored two goals and five assists, fired a high, hard wrist shot from the blue line that found the net above Charko's shoulder and the rout was on. Andy Crowthers closed the gap to 3-1, when he hit defenseman John Gibb's point shot past a sprawled Paul Fricker, the freshrian netminder making his Michigan debut. But Todd killed any hopes for a BG comeback with his goal in the last minute of the opening stanza. Despite the nine goals and seemingly easy victory, Wolverine coach Dan Farrell could still find fault with his team's performance. "I think the score was misleading," he said. "I thought they (the Falcons) skated very week, but we were able to capitalize and they. weren't, and that's the story. "We were having trouble clearing the -uck out of our zone all night. We definitely have some work to do, par- alcons4 ticularly in the neutral zone." And as for freshmen sensation Baseotto, Farrell cracked a sly smile, "he's pretty good isn't he? He's been showing tremendous scoring ability in practice and we just had to see if he could do it in games." He did, and so did the other five freshmen forwards and the Michigan offense. Nine gogals last night were more than the last year's Wolverines were accustomed to getting in three games. The victory gave Michigan a ten- game winning streak against no losses over the Falcons, who for the second year in a row outshot the Wolverines by a 2-1 margin and still came up short on the scoreboard. The Wolverines outscored the Falcons 2-1 in the second period, with Dan Lerg and Baseotto turning the light on for the Wolverines and freshman Tim Alexander doing it for Bowling Green. That set the stage for a fairly ragged yet explosive third period. Todd scored first for the Wolverines, taking a slick pass from Baseotto and going in all alone on Charko for the night's pret- tiest tally. The Falcons then reawakened their usually ecstatic fans with a pair of goals in a span of 16 seconds. But Eaves met that feat all by himself when he scored two quick goals in a span of 51 seconds to put the game on ice. Both teams head back to Ann Arbor to complete the home and home series with a 7:30 p.m. face-off tonight at Yost arena. 9-5 f Fricker foils Falcons FIRST PERIOD Scoring-l.

SAVES WOMEN HARRIERS DOUBTFUL Bi Tn champs?. By STAN BRADBURY Michigan will(not, repeat not, win the Big Ten championship this year. . least not in women's cross country. That is if you believe the words of RedS mons, coach of the first-year team. "We're really not a contender for any of the top spots," said Simmons of then team, 5000 meter meet held in Iowa City late this morning. "I can't see us. better than six, seven or eight and I would be pleased if we got seventh." Simmons said that the well established teams like Wisconsin, Indiana,C State, Purdue and Iowa will be the teams to watch in the meet. Leading the Wolverines will be Melanie Weaver, who Simmons says will n likely finish in the top six overall. "Melanie is very good for a freshwor especially if you consider that she's normally a two-miler and a miler (like mo the rest of the runners)," Simmons added. The top eight Michigan men harriers will be out of competition this week but the rest of the team will be participating in, and hosting the Mich Federation Meet at the Michigan Golf Course beginning at 11 a.m. today. "It's going to be kind of a small, low-key meet," said Ron Warhurst, the m cross-country coach. "Basically it's just an opportunity for some of the your fellows to get a chance to race."
