AFTER THE GAME W rntFlLAN n L niversity ,ofMichigan Dance Company PRESENTS The Purdue defensive line is relatively small, but extreme- ly quick. Sophomore Cleveland Crosby owns 77 tackles and has sacked opposing quarterbacks 10 times for 40 yards in losses. Senior Blane Smith, and All- Big Ten endeand tackle Chris Barr total 11 sacks for 49 yards in losses this year. With an offense that has not scored on a passing play all season and a porous defense, the Boilermakers could have a tough time reaching the .500 mark for the fourth consecutive year.

Icers host champs in home opener 'By LESLTE BROWN The Michigan hockey tearn onens its home season tonight at Yost Ice Arena, battling the 19'6 NCAA cham- pion Minnesota Golden Gophers in a contest tradition- ally laden with hard hitting and aggressive play. Dishing ot much of the p'inishment from the Minne- sota camp will be junior star Reed Larson, who com- bines good skating, strong checking and powerful shots successfully. Michigan coach Dan Farrell agrees. that Larson, "probably has the hardest shot in college hockey to- day. JOINING LARSON on defense is another experienced iceman, senior Joe Micheletti. As with Larson, an all- around good performance is expected from the versatile Micheletti. The two defensemen also lead the team in scoring so far this year. Returning to handle the netminding chores for the Gophers will be senior Jeff Tscherne. Last year Tscherne led the league with a 3.4 goals against average per game. In spite of these talented veterans, the loss of burly Russ Anderson to the pros means the remainder of the defensive duties will fall on a less experienced corps of blueliners. IN ADDITION, graduation has taken its toll on the Minnesota offensive line. Warren Miller, Pat Phippen and Tom Younghans have departed, leaving senior center Tom Vanelli alone to take up much of the slack. With 18 of his 27 players either freshmen or sopho- mores, coach Herb Brooks recognizes this year's squad as a young team. Nonetheless, the tradition of tough, competitive hockey at Minnesota remains intact. In their previous two series the Gophers have built a' 2-1-1 record, with a split to St., Louis in their opening series. FOR MICHIGAN, this will be the first home game of the season, following series splits at Wisconsin and Michigan Tech. The Dekers head into this confrontation healthy - recovered from the injuries incurred at Michi- gan Tech two weeks ago. Farrell is looking for a more balanced performance from his squad. While Dave DeBol, Kris Manery and Kip Maurer are expected to fluster Tscherne in the net, Far- rell would-like to see more scoring from the Russ Blanzy, Doug Todd, Ben Kawa line. Noneteheless, Minnesota had the best goals- against average last year in the WCHA. Playing a typically tight game in their own zone, Michigan will be hard pressed in their scoring attempts. Although the young Blue defense has come along well in the past weeks, Farrell says that "they will really be tested this weekend, but I have confidence that they can do the job." ammwl: ti ti Z L.ak +t }ti .4 } S py 41 , M1ti: f {LL ' L L 4 y ,yhL i }:*k 7i" ""v'i.1 .Jf.
