Poge 'i en THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, December 11, 1973 BOWLING GREEN NEXT: Hockey spirit rides By ROGER ROSSITER For a team that finished dead list in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association last year, the Michigan Wolverines' performance so far in the 1973-74 campaign has been a minor miracle. Already the Wolverines have won more total games, captured more home games and equalled last season's point production on the road-all in only the first third of their schedule. 1 Essential ingredients in this 360' degree turnabout have been a new1 coach, Dan Farrell, and the new' attitude and philosophy he has{ brought with him. Farrell tossed in a dozen or so hand picked recruits to boot. THE POWERS that be in the' Michigan Athletic Department did not want another year of throwing six guys on the ice and letting whatever happens happen. They. wanted and expected a new look1 program with a future, and even- tually a team that would win inI the "Michigan tradition" of win-I ning. That is exactly what Farrell' has given them, and a lot sooner than they ever thought possible. "We're still one or two playersi away from being a championshipl team," Farrell admits. "We won'tI win any league titles this year," he continued, "but we have confidence that we can skate onto the ice any night and play competitively with any team in the league."I Quarter Pound Royal Scot.

Division (St. Andrews Church) 761-WISE again TIES EEKEND the Wolverines will play away and home against Bowling Green, and Farrell plans to is- a lot of new faces. Gary Morrisoa, Doug Lindskog, Pete lDunbar, Julian Nixon, and Mike Burgett might all see some action. "We've got to take them serious- ly," Farrell warned of Bowling Green, "they're a very physical team. Next on the docket, after Bowl- ing Green, is the Flint IMA Tourna- I ment December 27 and 28 with Air Force, Lake Superior State, and York University of Toronto. "Independent teams like Bowl- ing Green, Air Force, and Lake Superior State are all looking for a berth in the NCAA's, so it's imperative that we and the other teams in the WCHA beat them," noted Farrell. Michigan should rate as the pre-tournament favorite with Lake Superior State posing the Wolverines' most formidable op- position. MICHIGAN RETURNS to the t WCHA wars for its final vacation action with a trip to traditionally tough Denver. Though the Pioneers z have had their troubles, mired in the lower regions of the league a standings most of the season, Far- rell is wary. "They're in a re- building program, and they always come on the second half of the year," he reminded. The Wolverines performances from now to the advent of winter i semester will give further evi- dence as to how far Farrell's re- structuring has progressed. A tournament championship and a split at Denver are essential in Farrell's plans.
