Come on down and watch the action next Thursday, Febru-
ary 28. As the IM department spokespeople say, "We are cer-
tain you will find something of interest."
Moor4
By BILL STIEG
Everything about Robbie Moore
helps make him a crowd pleaser.
The fans at Yost Ice Arena are,
familiar with the bantam goalten-
der's trademarks: his garish maize
and blue mask, his casual yet deft
handling of the stick, his daring,
dangerous style of play, and most
obvious, the way he moves-self
assured, full of cocky confidence.
If, anyone swaggers while wear-
ing skates, it's Moore. On the
weekend nights in Yost this win-

himself. Combining amazing skill,
a freewheeling style, and cool
confidence, he puts on a perform-
