Page Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY Pae T f SELL YOUR BOOKS i "' L I. I I s .y e i AT FOLLETT'S STATE ST. at NORTH UNIV. Jcers By CHUCK DRUKIS For the second weekend in a row, Michigan's icers will face off against the conference leaders, this week North Dakota. By virtue of two come-from- behind thriller wins over Notre Dame, Michigan dropped the Irish from first to third. Meanwhile North Dakota, a much-improved team from last year, took over first in the WCHA. North Dakota has thus far dis- played considerable improvement from last year's seventh place fin- ish with a 10-15-1 record. NoDak head coach Rube Bjork- man has lead his team to a win- ning record by improving the de- fense and gaining more consis- tency on offense, two qualities that the Sioux lacked before. "We think that we have rep- resentative WCHA forwards, but we're short of experienced de- fensemen." said Coach Bjorkman. The Sioux have 15 returning letterman. Dave Murphy, who at times makes brilliant saves in the net, will return as the regular goalie. Co-captains Rick Wilson and Al Henry, both regular shift de- fensemen, and Mike Lundby, who saw some action on defense pre- viously, have anchored the NoDak defense. The NoDaks are blessed with five returning centers, two of whom playednregularly lastwyear. Co-captain Brian Depiero was the NoDak's leading scorer last year attle I with 18 goals and 20 assists. Jim Cahoon added 12 goals and 13 assists. Mike Lundbolm, Kelly Cross, and Brad Colehaur, although see- ing little action last year, have progressed quite well to back up Depiero and Cahoon. Regular returning letterman Daye Bragnalo will be assisted by two letterwinners Dennis Johnson and Scott Kleven. Right wing sees no new faces as Earl Anderson, Greg Cameron and Gerry Miller are all returning for another year. Coach Bjorkman's greatest sur- prise to date has been the per- formances of newcomers Alan Hangsleben and Ken Gibb on de- fense. Freshman Gary Purpur and VoDaks, right winger Terry Pauket have also contributed to North Dakota, who to date has to be considered the surprise of the league. Michigan mentor Al Renfrew concedes that the difference be- tween winning and losing will be a matter of "whoever gets the breaks." Gary Kardos will still be out of action this weekend for Michi- gan, while Mike Jarry is listed as a doubtful starter due to a bad- ly bruised heel. Michigan goalie Karl Bagnell, whd came through with the saves against Notre Dame when Michi- gan needed them the most, de- scribes the Sioux as a tough team with good teamwork, but thinks that Michigan could win both to- night and tomorrow night.

Upset-minded Salukis chalenge swimmers By CHUCK BLOOM Last week Michigan swimming coach Gus Stager said there was going to be no problem in defeating last week's opponents, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Michigan did win handily but now Stager is beginning to worry. The Michigan swim team will face the Southern Illinois Salukis tonight at Matt Mann Pool. This will be the toughest meet of the young season for the Wolverines since the Salukis are gunning for an upset. Southern Illinois coach Ray Essick has his squad giving an all-out effort, even in practice. The Salukis have yet to defeat a Michigan swim team but each year the score gets closer and closer. Last year the Wolverines defeated them by a mere three points. This year it may be even closer. As Stager likes to say, both teams have improved. South- ern Illinois has freshman Pat Miles whom Essick considers the finest freshman swimmer in the nation. Miles, certainly, has the credentials to back that opinion up. Not only was he the fastest high school freestyler in the country last year, but he also broke a Pan-American games record in the 1500 meters by more than 12 seconds. Bill Tingley (an ace backstroker), Rob Dickson, and Dale Kroner are the other big guns for the Salukis. In a straight comparison, Michigan should be able to hold their own in the short sprint events. Michigan's Ray McCullough and Jose Aranha have times in the 100 freestyle comparable to those of Dickson. Michigan's 400 medley relay has a better time than does Southern Illinois. The area in which Michigan is no match for the Salukis is any distance event, where Miles stands out. In practice, Miles has a better time in the 1000 freestyle than any Wolverine swimmer. Mark Anderson has the best time fore Michigan with a 10:17.2, while Miles practices in under 10:00. The ace up Michigan's sleeve is the diving competition, where Southern Illinois is no competition. Divers Joe Crawford and John Hamilton should take 1-2 and give the Wolverines an edge. Ini / ASi ISTXX play game! * PHONE 662-7307 CIIECKMATE 2455 S.
