Paje 8-Tuesday, November 22,1977-The Michigan Daily WOLVERINES GET WEEK OFF: I 1 q . . Win 1 By DON MAC LACHLAN fiver have an incident on your mind that just eats at you until it's resilyed or conquered? For Michi- garircoach B o Schembechler the prpilems are all behind him and a return trip to the Rose Bowl lies aiead. No more worries - yet - just a tittle relaxation and savoring of the 14-6 victory over Ohio State which ga'e the Wolverines a share of the coriterence championship. Mj'his is a good club," Schembech- le,aid yesterday while puffing on a viiA'ry cigar. "Even though we had a ot''of problems injury-wise, this team sti'ck together. -,For the first time since 1951 a V khigan team has beaten the Buck- eyes two years in a row. Schem- behler can enjoy this week and wait for the outcome of Friday's Southern Ci-UUEA confrontation which will determine the Pac-8 winner. If UCLA loses, Washingtoi goes to the Rose Biwl. A Bruin victory would give the Ucans a Rose Bowlinvitation. "If we play Washington we will not bejplaying somebody's home game," Scehembechler said. 4"You may un- derestimate these two teams. These last five games they have come on and made a race out of it." In the meantime, Schembechier has-to ponder over a few decisions such as when the Wolverines are going to depart, when they are going to practice and other fundamental Matters. The coach is considering a brief stop in Tucson, Arizona before toe' Wolverines arrive in Pasadena. It's ideal weather there and we can concentrate on football," he said. Ji 19hten, "The earliest we would leave is December 20th and we will definitely be in Pasadena the day before Christ- mas. The only problem is the equip- ment, training and all that - moving twice from here to Tucson and then to Pasadena." "I really don't believe distractions have that much to do with it out there," Schembechler added. "The time factor - the length of time you are out there - kills ya. It's just a matter of being away from home." While at home in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines will get in a few prac- tices - but the work that doesn't get done here must be completed out west. "Between next week and the time we get into practice here we will have a half dozen conditioning workouts," Schembechler said. "They will have nothing to do with football. Most of these kids stay in shape all year round." Amidst all the fun of prognosticat- ing about the Rose Bowl, Schembech- ler took a little time to reflect back on the Buckeye battle, especially re- garding a few off the field incidents. The ruckus before the game with the Buckeye players hitting Michigan students holding up the Go Blue bannerwas pointed out to Bo after the game - and he didn't like it one bit. "I would not want the crowd, and extra-curricular things to destroy this great game," Schembechler said. "I don't want fans to become so damn important that we forget this game is for the players. S Bo's load "Crowd control is very import- ant," he continued. "Something is going to happen that could destroy this great rivalry. These two teams have a great amount of respect for each other. They play an aggressive, clean, hard-hitting game." The media needled Schembechler about the thoughtless acts of his old boss, Woody Hayes. The ancient Buckeye coach punched a TV cam- eraman who was closing in for a shot, right after Rod Gerald fumbled in the fourth quarter and Ohio State's victory hopes were eliminated. "My relationship with Woody is good," Schembechler said. "I don't really have, a good temper so I shouldn't be able to judge what he did. "But I do know that I turned around sometimes on Saturday and nearly'shoved a cameraman into the game," he added. "My substitute had to stand behind a cameraman. Something should be done to restrict them." Athletic Director Don Canham of Michigan had the obvious reason for leers ac By ERROL SHIFMAN Aggressive hockey is coming to Ann Arbor ! That's the word from Michigan Coach Dan Farrell and while it sounds like a familiar PR job (which couldn't hurt), it could mean survival for the Wolverines' NCAA title hopes. WHEN THE SEASON opened, Michigan was to be a fast, light forechecking, control type hockey team. The speed and control are there and the 6-2 record would seem to in- dicate that the style was working. But Farrell feels his team has been in- timidated in the process. "People have been taking advantage of us," said Farrell, "that's why we haven't played as well as I'd have like " "WE'VE SEEN THAT we have to 'hit," continued Farrell. "We have to forecheck harder." The Wolverines tried out their new philosophy this past weekend against Minnesota and the result was a sweep. The Blue icers showed that they could hit with the best of them. However, there were consequences. The new aggressive style sent Wolverines to the penalty box 21 times, their highest total of the season. For- tunately for the Wolverines, on eight of those occasions a Blue icer was able to the presence of television people on the sidelines during football games. "Oh, $600,000, that's why," he said. "When you guys (writers) give us 600 grand, we'll put your fannies on the bench if you want." So, for a change, Schembechler can take it easy this week and let things fall in place. Friday, the mentor heads to Ohio to watch high school football and Saturday he should be in, attendance at the Michigan high school finals. Schem- bechler is interested in seeing the talent - this year's main recruiting goals are at defensive back and . quarterback. But just like game week, he has a few crucial decisions to make re- garding his players for the upcoming contest. Last year, Michigan wanted its names on the back of the uniforms. This year the players have a differ- ent request. "The team hit me to wear white shoes," Schembechler said. "What am I going to do with all those white shoes?"

Another key contribution was donated by Michigan's penalty killers. MICHIGAN SCORED two short- handed goals while only allowing three Gopher powerplay tallies. A little arithmetic shows that the Michigan penalty killers stopped the Minnesota powerplay alotimes in 13 attempts. Farrell cites the juggling of his penalty killing combinations as the reason behind the stellar play. "We moved Bill Thayer back together with (Dan) Hoene; they WMPL hockey poll TEAM POINTS 1.
