"IT'S NICE to think that school 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. 3MSTRONGLESS' zes new trail gc, sstar 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. WI WI WI I WI WI WI WI WI WI WI 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. ww ww w www w wwww w '4.

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." 1 I I I I I 1 I I I I I $1.00 OFF' Mr. Tony's delicious 14"PIZZA! 50C OFF!
