Last night at Yost Arena, the hard- hitting, aggressive, although choppy, Wolverines roughed their way to a 3-2 victory over the slick-passing, swift- skating Minnesota Golden Gophers. The victory completed a two-game Michigan sweep over the defending NCAA champions, the first time that's happened since the fall of 1977. More importantly, the win left last year's last place WCHA team with a perfect 6-0 record, and all of a sudden, a team that was just trying to make the playoffs is talking seriously about winning the league crown. But don't mention that to Coach Dan Farrell, not just yet, anyway. He would prefer to remain cautiously optimistic at this point. "No, it's way too early to talk about that," he said. "With only one-sixth of the season gone, it's just too hard to say how we'll play the rest of the year. Except for that Bowling Green game, we haven't gone on the road yet." NONETHELESS, it would be difficult for anyone not to be optimistic about this team after the way they've played so far. Although Minnesota took the play to the Wolverines much of the night, they refused to give in to the pressure. "We played very well, solid all the way around," said Farrell. "Everybody played well, we were strong as a group, and that's what you need to win." That is an accurate assessment of last night's game. Paul Fricker, the freshman netminder who plays like a four-year veteran, made several key saves, especially late in the game when the Gophers were doing everything but cheat to try to tie the score. The defense played a solid game from start to finish, something that Ias been hard for the rearguard to do in the past. Tim Man- ning spearheaded several offensive rushes with his accurate passing and John Blum, Mark Perry and Brian Lundberg did a creditable job of clearing men from out in front of the Michigan net. AND THE OFFENSE was again spelled B A S E O T T O as the freshman, Bruno, notched his 11th and 12th goals of the young season by doing what he does best - placing himself in the right spot at precisely the right time. His first goal came late in the first period with the Gophers ahead 2-0. Blum had let go a hard drive from the point that Baseotto simply redirected through the pads of Minnesota netmin- der Paul Butters. Bruno tied the score just 48 seconds into the second period when Manning's attempted pass into the corner bounced off the boards and came bouncing right out onto Baseotto's stick. Bruno hap- pened to be right in front of the net at the time, and he flipped a shot that went in off the crossbar. Goals by Mike Reilly and Kevin Har- tzell gave Minnesota a 2-0 lead before Baseotto closed the gap. Thethird period is when things got hectic, especially for the 3,624 Michigan rooters, who were screaming "Go Blue" with a ferocity usually reserved Rock and Roll All Night with the Crowd Pleaisers for Michigan Stadium on Saturday af- ternoon. The Gophers kept coming and coming, but Fricker kept the door shut with clutch saves and the defense was swarming every Minnesota player that came near the puck. Finally, the buzzer rang and Michigan was sitting all alone atop the WCHA. Brunissimo! FIRST PERIOD Scoring: 1. Minn. - Reilly (lynch) 8:20; 2. Minn.-Hartzell (Ulseth, Teal) 17:49; 3.

There's no doubt about that after they lost their fourth consecutive game last night, 114-11, in the Silverdome to the Houston Rockets. Three of-the four losses have been at home and last night marked the Rockets' first road win in seven attempts. To compound their misery, the Pistons' last two losses have been dealt by Central Division foes. The loss puts the Pistons at 4-7 for the year, while the struggling Houston club improved to 3-7, last in the Central Division. Center Moses Malone led the Rocket attack, tallyipg 25 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. Robert Reid also had a big hand in Houston's victory, tying Detroit's Bob McAdoo for game honors with 26 points. Bob Lanier added 24 in the losing cause. Piston coach Dick Vitale blamed last night's loss on the inconsistency of his rookies, "but the organization now has the talent. All we need is experience," he sai4. Houston dominated the game with three quarters, but the Pistons made a show of it in the fourth period before Calvin Murphy scored the last four points of the game for the vic- tory. Houston led by 12 points late in the third period before the Pistons woke up. Detroit then managed to go ahead in the sagging Pistons next six minutes of play as McAdoo got the hot hand. McAdoo's goal, with 9:13 left in the game, put Detroit ahead for the first time, 97-96. The game then see-sawed back and forth with the lead changing hands seven times before the final buzzer sounded. Harriers place third By JOHN FITZPATRICK A young Michigan cross-country squad came away from the Big 10 championship meet at OSU yesterday with a satisfying third place finish, as Wisconsin barely defended its team title with 56 points. Indiana had 59 points and Michigan 75. Pre -race favorite Jim Stinzi of Wisconsin was barely edged out for the individual title by Ohio State's Steve Crane, 23:27.9 to 23:29.0 for the eight-kilometer course. Wolverine Dan Heikkinen placed a close third in 23:31. "Heikkinen ran a super race", said Michigan coach Ron Warhurst. "He was just nipped at the end by Stinzi and Crane over the last 200 yards. He just needs some more experience up front." Wolverine freshman Brian Diemer ran a poised race to finish tenth overall in 24:04. "He ran very well; he was the first freshman to finish," noted Warhurst. By finishing in the top five, Michigan qualified for the NCAA regional meet, to be held at MSU this Saturday.
