Look out for Blue By BRIAN DEMING AFTER LOSING only two players through graduation, acquiring a host of fine freshmen, and guiding a team through a pre- season that has shown improvement in /every facet Michigan hockey coach Dan Farrell is just quietly optimistic. The Wolverines' goal for the upcoming season? "To finish, higher -in the WCHA." Apparently Farrell, in his second year at the Wolverine helm, is not in the habit of overestimating his team, as it appears certain that Michigan will place higher than last year's seventh. The season begins for the Wolverines Friday when they host Ohio State. The 73-74 Wolverines were12-15-1 in the WCHA and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Minnesota. The Gophers went on to become the NCAA champs. Last year's squad returns almost intact, missing only for- wards Bob Falconer and Julian Nixon. "Our strength is in our experience,' acknowledges Farrell, "We've got virtually the same team back while other teams have lost a lot." Perennial power Wisconsin, for example, will probably be much weaker this year after losing much of last year's squad. Farrell is not alone in realizing the advantage of having a lot of veterans back. Senior captain Randy Trudeau points out that "the year of playing together has improved the passing" and consequently has made the team a little quicker. Veteran players can anticipate each 8ther's speed and moves and there- fore can pass more accurately. Added confidence in the coach as senior Frank Werner suggests, is a benefit this team will have that the Wolverines might not have had during Farrell's debut season. "We know what he wants," the forward from Detroit observed, "I feel more comfortable with Dan than last year." Among the returnees are center Angie Moretto and wingers Pat Hughes and Doug Lindskog. This line looked par- ticularly good in pre-season and will probably stay together. Moretto, a 6-4, 210-pound junior, led the Wolverines in scoring last year with 2S goals and 21 assists. The lines have been tentatively set by Farrell. Besides the Moretto-Hughes-Lindskog line five other lines will be utilized. Don Fardig, Kris Manery and Ben Kawa are paired together. Fardig, a junior, had 12 goals and 22 assists last season while sophomore Manery had 13 goals and 13 assists as a freshman. Kawa is a freshman from Toronto. Composing another line will be seniors Randy Neal and Frank Werner and freshman Dave DeBol. Coach Farrell esti- mates that Neal has been been the most improved player this fall. DeBol, a non-tendered freshman, has also been impressive thus far. The other lines include freshman Dan Hoene, Bill Thayer, and John McCahill; sophomores Russ Blanzy and Gary Mor- rison and senior Paul Paris; freshmen Kip Maurer and Larry Johnson and senior Gary Kardos. The defense is, of course, anchored again this year by All-America goalie Robbie Moore. The junior net-minder made 1135 saves last season, allowing an average of 4.3 goals per game. This year, Moore will be backed up by two quite dependable replacements. Freshman Frank Zimmerman has looked ex- tremely good thus far and will probably see action this weekend. The third goaltender, Rick Palmer, also a freshman, is no rela- tion to Michigan's Rob Palmer but is the brother of another Rob Palmer that played for Denver and now plays professionally. The defensive pairings consist totally of veterans. Sophomore Dave Shand and junior Greg Fox, sophomore Rob Palmer and Trudeau, and junior Tom Lindskog and sophomore Greg Natale are set to defend the Michigan ice. "We've got a lot to look forward to," commented goalie Moore as the Wolverines' outlook is brighter than it has been for many a year. Right now two players are out indefinitely with injuries- freshman Scott Bondy and senior Gary Kardos-and forward Don Dufek won't be available to the team until after the football season. But even with these setbacks there is no reason why Michigan shouldn't be in the thick or perhaps the top of the WCHA race when it starts in two weeks. The Wolverines will host Wisconsin Nov. 1 and 2 to begin the WCHA schedule.- By RAY O'HARA With Michigan sports fans currently well advanced into their annual case of gridiron madness it is understandably easy to forget that the Wolver- ines of Winter are hard at work preparing to duplicate their va- rious conquests of recent cam- paigns. The wrestling Wolverines, the most successful of all the suc- cessful Michigan winter sports, with second place finishes last year in both the Big Ten and the nation, will be laboring un- der the direction of a new coach, Bill Johannesen. Though he will be unfamil- iar to most of the fans Jo- hannesen is anything but a strange face to the wrestlers. As the close friend and assist- ant coach to his immediate predecessor, Rick Bay, Jo- hannesen has an advantage denied most new coaches in that he is already familiar with all the previous perform- ances of the team and its in- dividual members. "Rick and I have travelled parallel courses since high school," observed Johannesen, referring to former coach Bay, "and when he retired from coaching he recommended that I be appointed." Bay retired at a young age because he was tired of coach- ing. Johannesen is not bending under the weight ofntheyears either. He matriculated at Michigan in 1962 and before he graduated in 1966 he marched off with assorted hardware representing two third place Big Ten finishes, a Big Ten championship and two All- America performances at the NCAA championships. In the years between his graduation and his return as an assistant coach, Johanne- sen tried out for the American Olympic team but a promising start ended in frustration at the trials due to an injury. After assisting Rick Bay at Michigan and wrestling along- side him at suburban Chicago's Waukegan High under the tutelage of Bay's father, one might be led to think that Jo- hannesen's coaching style is cast in the calm, cool and col- lected Bay mold. Not so, claims the new head man. "His father (Bay's) demand- ed so much respect and got it.
