By BOB HEUER
Hang on to your hats, folks. It's
-the start of another rip roaring,
rock'em-sock'em lacrosse season
at Michigan.
Well, not quite. Actually this is
only Fall practice, with regular
season action getting under way
next spring. But there's still
plenty of action going on down at
the Tartan Turf practice field
where the stickmen toil in con-
scientious anonymity.
The Wolverine lacrosse team
currently labors under the some-
what dubious "club sport" ban-
ner. This status enables gradu-
ate students to play on thegteam
but it prohibits any sort of re-
cruiting or financial aid to play-
ers or coaches.j
Grad students have formed the
core of Michigan teams in the past'
but that may not be the case this
year with six of last year's tenI
grads gone.
With a strong nucleus of under-
grads " this year, the team appears
ready for varsity status. Coach
Bob Kaman, with the team's
backing, has petitioned athletic
Director Don Canham and the

Board in Control of Intercollegiate
Athletics, requesting the elevation
of lacrosse to a varsity sport.
A decision by the Board is still
pending.
Administrative decisions aside,
the lacrosse team will begin
practicing Wednesday, September
15. Much of the Autumn drills,
which run through the end of Oc-
tober,.are devoted to teaching the
fundamentals of the game to the
newcomers, many of whom are
playing the sport for the first
time.
Scrimmages and practice games
will abound, with Wayne State and
Notre Dame tentatively scled-
uled so far. The Irish tied Michi-
gan for the championship in the
Midwest Club Lacrosse Associa-
tion last year. Both teams posted
4-2 league records with the Irish
taking a disputed 6-5 decision from
the Wolverines in their only meet-
ing of the season.
The loss to Notre Dame climax-
ed a frustrating season which saw
the Wolverines lose four times by
a single goal en route to a 6-4,
overall record. Another sore point
was a 7-6 loss to Michigan State

to regain the form that brought
a conference championship and
an 8-1 record to Michigan in
1971.
The Wolverines lose three ex-
perienced midfielders in Curt Ad-
kisson, Chico Rogers, and Steve
Hart. Also gone are stalwart
crease defenseman Dave Fischer
and attackmen Carl Burns and
Skip Flanagan.
Burns led last year's teamin
scoring and was voted the most
valuable offensive player by his
teammates. Second and third
leading scorers Dick Dean and
Don Holman are returning. Dean
in the role of player-coach. -
Those two along with tri-cap-
tains Jay Johnson, Dan Lamble,
and Pete Lodwick will form a
strong nucleus for this year's
squad.
Johnson, a standout in goal last
season, is switching to attack
where his speed and strengthI
can be better utilized. Lamble
joins Dean as the only two 4x-
perienced midfielders. Lodwick
will anchor the defense.
The transition of Johnson leaves
a big auestion mark i ca. at

Joining Lodwick on defense will
be veterans Bo Cooper and Tim
Cotter. Cotter sat out the entire
1972 campaign but should be in
good shape to help the team this
year. Fred Jones, a medical in-
tern, is also being counted on to
bolster the defense.
Pete Drehman will be back at
the midfield position while senior
Craig Bradley will probably team
up with Holman and Dennis Burd-
ziak to form the attacking line.
Other returnees include senior
Eric Kisischke and junior Dave
Ferworn.
And rumor has it that, if the
sport retains its club status, As-
sistant Coach Bob Digiovanni
will don a uniform next spring.
Kaman called Digiovanni "the
best crease attackman in the
Midwest.
Whether or not the team gains
varsity status and when may have
a lot to do with how ,the 1973 la-
crosse season turns out tat Michi-
gan. If the decision to go varsity
is made early in the fall, it will
enable Kaman to schedule varsity
teams exclusively, next spring,
rather than the often more ex-

perienced club teams.
If the decision is not made un-
til just before the season starts
tJhe stickers will have to play their
rugged club schedule without the
benefit of their grad students.
Either way, according to Ka-
man, the team will be champion-
ship material. "Every fall we
wonder how we're going to field
a decent team with all the guys
we've lost," said Kaman. "But we
always seem to get enough talent
to mold a winning ,unit."
A 14-5 record over the last two
years speaks well for Kaman's
optimism.
