BELL'S PIZZA and GRINDERS S. STAtE AND PACKARD 995-0232 Sun-Wed open til 1 am Thurs til 2 Fri-Sat til 3 am. w, '( . n ,,' =i By BRIAN MILLER Pity the poor North Dakota Fighting Sioux. Possessors of the WCHA's finest goalie, freshman Bob Iwabuchi, the Sioux will have to face the Michigan icers this weekend without him. Iwabuchi will be serving a three-game suspension for allegedly pushing a referee during last Saturday's UND- Denver game. So while Iwabuchi, the owner of a 2.52 goals against average, sits it out, the Sioux will be forced to use senior Bill Stankoven, the WCHA's second best goalie this year, with a 3.37 goals again- st average. All facetiousness aside, this season has been just about a dream for the Sioux and their rookie head coach, John Gasparini. North Dakota has lost only two players to graduation from last year's team and the dearth of experien- ce on this year's squad has helped keep the Sioux in contention for the league title all season long. Presently, North Dakota is 12-6 on the year (in the WCHA, 16-6 overall), just one point behind first place Minnesota. And its successful season, so far, is due to a number of players besides the two goaltenders. The Sioux are getting potent point production from freshman center Kevin Maxwell (19-31-50), junior left winger Mark Taylor (16-28-44), and sophomore left winger Doug Smail (16- 25-41). In comparison, five Sioux players have more points than Michigan's leading scorer, Murray Eaves with 32. Defensively, North Dakota is led by senior Bill Himmelwright, (6-1, 195) a first team WCHA all-star last year, and 5-10, 180-lb. junior Brad Cox. Sophomores Marc Chorney and Mike Stone have also helped North Dakota become the league's best defensive team. Besides offense and defense, North Dakota has another thing going for it this season: the conference's best home record. It's nearly impossible to win up at Grand Forks this year as North Dakota has forged an admirable 10-2 record on home ice so far. The Sioux' two losses to date have been to Wiscon- sin (2-1) in overtime and Minnesota, 6-' 3. And then there's Michigan. Dan Farrell and his crew must feel like the Christians entering the Coliseum right now. Unlike ,North Dakota, Michigan has only three seniors and four juniors out of a roster of 24 players. Inex- perience has hurt the team as much as the injuries to Terry Cullen, Dan Lerg and Mark Miller has. The sum of those two factors adds up to a lack of scoring from the Wolverine icers - a fact that explains in part why Michigan is 2-10 in their last 12 games. In that time, the Blue icers have been outscored 73-49. If Michigan hopes to make the playof- fs this year, they're going to have to start winning, and soon. Basically, Farrell has the full complement of players to take up to Grand Forks as once again, the only player unable td participate this weekend is Cullen: Also, Farrell is bringing along fresh- man goalie Peter Mason in hopes that his young netminder will continue his solid play. Game time for both games this weekend is 9:30 EST.

A heck of a host Northwestern turned out to be. Michigan's women cagers cruised in- to the Evanston tundra last night in hopes of upending the red hot Wildcats. But all they got was the cold shoulder, as Northwestern slid away with an 81-72 win in cavernous McGaw Hall. The Blue cagers had hardly shed ACU-I BOWLING TOURNAMENT' Sat.

Michigan never led in the contest, as Northwestern ran and muscled the Wolverines to death in the run and gun affair. "I'm proud the kids were able to hang in there," said Blue Coach Gloria Soluk after the loss. "But we just let them catch fire in the first half and we couldn't come back." SOLUK URGED her team, down by 11 at the half, to go outand get that first basket. That was the key, she felt. But the fast-breaking Wildcats got two quick layups and Michigan was down 18 points before they could catch their collective breath. Michigan shot a frigid .278 per cent in the first half, as shooters Diane Dietz and Katie McNamara had difficulty finding the net. "Diane and Katie weren't playing well in the first half," said a disappoin- ted Soluk. "We need two good halves of basketball from them if we're going to win." DESPITE GOING only seven for 23 collectively in the first half, Dietz and McNamara still led the Blue scoring with 23 and 19 points apiece. Most, however, came on late fast breaks with the game already out of reach. Meanwhile, the Wildcats were dominating both ends of the floor. Guards Mary Murphy and Vicki Voss continually outquicked their Michigan backcourt counterparts in leading the Northwestern break. mashed Wildcat forward Martha Megill and Alinda Cox combined for 25 caroms as the Wildcats out-rebounded the Wolverines 58-42. The loss dropped the Wolverines' record to 8-7 for the season, while Nor- thwestern rose to 9-1 in winning their 14th straight in McGaw. Michigan next battles Notre Dame back at Crisler Arena on Saturday.

The matmen will face Indiana State tonight and Indiana tomorrow. The Sycamores are 5-4 on the season, including a win over tough Kentucky. "Indiana State is a good small college power," reports Michigan coach Dale Bahr. The match will provide some good and necessary experience for the lighter weights. Freshman Jim Mathias (10-9) will face the toughest test against Sycamore Bob Dickman in'the 118 weight class. r The Hoosiers will provide two interesting matches. Again, Mathias will face a tough opponent, senior Angelo Marino, with an impressive 15-0-1 record. The other highlight will match All-American Churella (30-1) against r Doug Hutsell (11-4-2) in the 167 weight class. According to Bahr, a good team effort will result in two victories this weekend. These matches will provide a good preparation for the team as they begin looking to the key meets in February against Iowa, Minnesota, and Michigan State. This weekend will also provide the final preparation for senior Mark Churella before heading to the Soviet Union. Churella earned his place on the U.S. team by winning the Great Plains Tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Russian Tbilisi Tournament is an important international tourney since many of the 1980 Olympians will be there in competition. Churella, a strong candidate for the Olympics, has won the last two Big Ten Tournaments in his weight class and two NCAA titles. Last year, he was named outstanding wrestler of the NCAA tournament. Michigan, however, is anything but a one-man show. They are 6-2 this season compared with a 5-9 record last year. Bahr attributes this year's turn-around to an excellent team attitude. When Bahr came here from Iowa State this year, he expected to take ; four to five years to turn the program into a national power. "Because of the kids' hustle, we are one to two years ahead of schedule," remarked Bahr. k "We lack overall superstar talent, but have heart. And, the kids give 150 per cent hustle." "My goal is a national title for Michigan," proclaimed the grappler coach. He believes that the development of some depth in the low to middle weights with blue chip recruits will be the key to future success. ...... ......vL ": :v: : v{ h "A b TO FT.
