POTENT OFFENSE Irish threaten Blue power play By GARY LEVY Power play performance may prove to be the determining factor when the undefeated Michigan icers tangle with WCHA rival Notre Dame tonight and tomorrow night in South Bend. The matchup features the Wolverines' advantageous power play versus the Irish's stingy, shorthanded defense. Michigan has accumulated 19 power play goals in 35 attempts, while Notre Dame's opposition has netted only five goals in 39 attempts while the Irish played shorthanded. "WE HAVE TO be able to contain Michigan's offense and do a good job when we're a man short," said Notre Dame Coach Charles 'Lefty' Smith. Irish defensemen will have to keep their eyes on Wolverine freshman Bruno Baseotto, who seems to thrive on power play opportunities. Nine of Baseotto's 12 goals have been scored while Michigan had a man advantage. The power play has also been somewhat of a weakness offensively for the Irish, having converted on only five of twenty attempts. "WE'VE DONE WELL offensively, but because of injuries, our power play hasn't been effective," said Smith. "We've been hit with injuries just like Michigan was last year." "We had three balanced lines, but in- THEA THEF'SSHOP T .G. .F. 309 s. STATE ST. juries have taken their toll as far as still having that balance," Smith added: Injuries have not had as severe an ef- fect on the Wolverines this season. Gor- die Hampson is still out with a broken hand and defenseman Mark Perry is nursing a sprained ankle. WCHA Standings MICHIGAN ............. Colorado College ....... North Dakota.........

"If you split all of your road games and win them all at home, you're going to win a lot of games." Michigan remained atop the WCHA standings with last weekend's 5-2, 3-2 sweep of Minnesota. The Irish im- proved their league record to 2-2 (3-2 overall), with their sweep of Minnesota- Duluth last weekend. "Right now, we find ourselves in a position of being able to control our own destiny," said Smith. "If we win both games, we'll be tied for first place. Anything less and the hole we dug for ourselves by losing two to Denver the first week becomes that much deeper." BLUE LINES: Going into this weekend's contests, Baseotto is the Wolverines' leading scorer with 19 poin- ts. Baseotto's eight WCHA goals is tops in the league and he ranks third in scoring with 10 points (8-2-10). Murray Eaves follows with 15 points (5- 10-15) and Dan Lerg with 14(6-8-14). Freshman goaltender Paul Fricker ranks second in the league in goals- against average at 3.54. Fricker was named WCHA Player of the Week for his performance against Minnesota, allowing just four goals while making 72 saves. Faceoff Friday night is scheduled for 8:00 p.m., while tomorrow night's game is set for 7:30 p.m. THIS SERIES will be a test of sorts for Michigan as the icers play their first conference road games of the season. "It will be interesting to see how the team will react," said Coach Dan Farrell. "We've just got to keep playing the way we've been playing."' Farrell said he would be satisfied if his icers won one of the two contests at Notre Dame's Athletic and Convocation Center. "YOU ALWAYS hope for a split when O NATIONAL UAD ARMYROTC.
