PIONEERS 'A
Denver bad
By BOB MILLER
For the first time in 22 years, Denver will bring a
new coach to Ann Arbor. Murray Armstrong has retired,
but not before building the Pioneers into one of the best
hockey teams in the country.
In one 16-year stretch (1957-58 to 1972-73) Armstrong
guided his teams into the NCAA playoffs 11 times, win-
ning the national championship on five of those oc-
casions.
Marshall Johnston is now the coach, and Denver is
still as tough as ever.
Last season was a good year for the Pioneers,
finishing fourth in the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association (WCHA), and making it to the league
semifinals before bowing twice to Michigan.
In fact, Michigan had their best year ever against
Denver, winning all six games including an unpreceden-
ted sweep in the Mile High City.
It won't be easy to repeat that performance.
Denver comes to town with 17 returning lettermen
compared with the loss of only four. Goalies Ernie Glan-
ville and Jim Bales head the list of starters that will take
the ice for the Red and Gold.

always comes first, but there's a lot
of times during the middle of the
season when it's kind of hard not to
stress the football aspect of it," said
Tedesco.
"You can get wound up in the
whole thing, and it's difficult to
concentrate a lot on academics."
Tedesco is fortunate to have such a
career opportunity ahead of him,
which is why he has no pro football
aspirations. Many other players,
however, unrealistically leave the
pros as their only goal- this is what
the coaches at Michigan try to
prevent.
"They stress that it's not a way of
making a living," Tedesco explained.
"It's great if it comes your way, but
there's always the possibility that
you'll never make it in professional
football. So many great players from
Michigan have-gone into the pros and
never made it."
ASIDE FROM academics, Tedesco
has shown himself adept on the field
since securing the starting spot after
one game last year. He was named
defensive champion of the week -for
his efforts in last weekend's Minne-
sota game.
Yet he knows that he must strive to
do better each successive week.
"I know that I can be playing
better, and going into the next week I
want to improve on what I did the last
time out," he said. "I'll never be
satisfied with the way I play, because
I'll never improve that way:
"We definitely could have played
better last week," he added. "There
were times when we were on the field
too long, when we should have gotten
right off and given the offense a
chance to score."
With his academic goals settled al-
ready, the quick linebacker can now
devote his priorities to the gridiron.
IT"'T 1-
Other players to keep your eyes on are centers Doug
Berry and Alex Belcourt and defenseman Greg Woods.
But it was winger Perry Schnarr that gave Michigan fits
last year.
During Armstrong's tenure, Denver's strong suit was.
its defense-last year being no exception. Only three
teams (Wisconsin, 122; Notre Dame, 127; Michigan
Tech, 150) gave up less goals than the Pioneers' 151.
Coincidentally, the Wolverines also yielded 151 goals in"
the WCHA last year.
While Michigan trounced Denver to the tunes of 8-3
and 7-5 at Denver, 6-2 and 8-3 at Yost and again in the
playoffs, 6-4 and 11-4, the Pioneers always rebounded
from those setbacks.,
After the first twin loss, the Pioneers blazed their way
to a 13-6-1 record, then fell flat again at Michigan. But,
immediately after that, Denver tied and defeated Notre
Dame and split with Wisconsin (the league's top two
teams) on the road.
It might be too early to term this a crucial series, con-
sidering it is the first WCHA series for both squads, but
the two games tonight and tomorrow will go a long way
in determining exactly how strong Michigan will be in
the WCHA and how well Denver has improved.
Game time is 7:30 both nights.

Blue club bers rout
Kalamazoo, 10-0
By DIANE SILVER
If you haven't made it to a field hockey game at Ferry Field this sea-
son, you missed your last chance yesterday when the Wolverines stung Kala-
mazoo College by the score of 10-0. Michigan goalie, Laura "Perky" Pieri
recorded her fifth shutout of the season.
Michigan displayed excellent stickwork in burning their shots past Hor-
net goalie Lori Ayre. The clubbers outplayed Kalamazoo by far, as the
majority of the action took place in Hornet territory.
Mary Callam and Dawn Kohut chalked up two goals apiece, followed by
Kathy Dennis, Autumn Muehlmann and Jean McCarthy, scoring one each.
Freshman Lisa Kaplan earned high scoring honors with a hat trick in her
first complete varsity game.
Kaplan replaced Lynn Darin, who sat out with knee injuries. "We had an
injury so we had to place people in a different alignment," commented
Michigan coach Phyllis Ocker. "Lisa did very well. A number of freshmen
have really come along. They've matured a lot over the season, and we'll
need them for next year.

By BILLY NEFF
From the land of Niblets and
wrestling comes one of the most un-
rdcognized football contingents of the'
Big Ten, the University of Iowa. The
boys of Iowa City, boasting one of the
finest defenses in the Big Ten, ven-
ture into the confines of "Canham's
arpet" to confront the Wolverines in
heir annual homecoming game.
The Hawkeyes, who coach Bob
Commings says "have only played
poorly twice," have been somewhat
inconsistent this -season. After open-
ing up the season with an easy 24-0
tfiumph over the hapless Northwest-
ern Wildcats, Iowa upset cross-state
rival Iowa State, a Top Twenty team'
this year, 12-10.
BUT THE Hawkeyes came down
considerably when they suffered
embarrassingly one-sided losses to
perennial powers Arizona and UCLA,
41-7 and 34-16, before rebounding the
next week to topple Michigan's
conqueror Minnesota, 18-6. Iowa
proved to b a real thorn in Woody
Hayes' side the following Saturday
before succumbing 27-6. The Iowans,
exhibited their second bad perform-
ance of the campaign last week in
dropping a 34-21 decision to Purdue.
Offensively, the Hawkeyes' trou-
bles have been numerous due to an
abundance of injuries. Their signal
caller will be a seasoned veteran,
senior Tom McLaughlin, who started
most of his sophomore season. The
coach's son, Bob Commings Jr., will
see action if McLaughlin falters,
since his dad notes that "he has had
some bright moments this year."
Captain Jim Hilgenberg, whose
uncle Wally performs with gusto for
the Minnesota Vikings, anchors the
offensive line and has been touted for
post-season honors. A fine offensive
tackle, Barry Tomasetti, is injured
and out for the season.
HILGENBERG will be leading the
way for some fair talent at the skill
positions. Fullback Jon Lazar,
Iowa's leading rusher last season,
has not let up this fall. Rod Morton
rounds out the backfield duo.
Defensively, the Iowans stack up
impressively with possible all Amer-
icans Tom Rusk and co-captain Dean
Moore at the linebacker spots. Rusk,
the former starting fullback for the
Hawkeyes, paced last year's stingy
defense with 114 tackles, seventh in
the Big Ten. He earned second team
all Big Ten honors for this feat.
Moore, meanwhile, was second on
the team last season with 88 tackles
on a defense that was ranked third in
the Big Ten, first in the Little Eight.
Last year, the senior from Akron,
Ohio, was named player of the week
after his sterling performance
against highly ranked Penn State in
a 7-6 shocker.
OTHER strengths of the school
that brought us "Motor Mouth"
(Alex Karras) include a defensive
secondary which possesses five for-
mer starters. Rod Sears was a Big
Ten co-deader in pass interceptions
last year and Cedric Shaw has looked
impressive this year.
Coach Commings sees his Hawk-
eye team as having two main
problems, "We just don't produce on
critical downs." And he pessimistic-
ally stated when asked about the
Iowa strengths, "Right now, we don't
have too many."
Commings sees the upset last week
of Michigan as being that "They
(Michigan) had to get up four weeks
in a row and they found out that
they're human just like:, everyone
else."
