We've got a hard-working bunch of guys." If you've been looking for the inside lowdown, the in- formed behind-the-scenes explanation of how the Michigan hockey team has progressed from an 8-17-0 record at this time last year to their current overall record of 19-5-1, you now have it, courtesy of Coach Dan Farrell. Well, there it is, the definitive explanation of winning hockey in a very small nutshell. I've done my job, so let's stop pucking around and move on to basketball or wrestling or an analysis of the Blue spikers. IN FACT, this reporter has always been ready to ad- mit that team sports (with the possible exceptions of cricket and team blow-pong) should not be subjected to excessive intellectualizing; particularly ice hockey. By the same token, it is certainly not the coach's job to ex- plain why his team is winning, but simply to make sure that it wins. Indeed, it is especially true of hockey that games are not won or lost in the strategy room. So the coach is off the hook and the sportswriter must take over the task of verbalizing the considerable suc- cess of Michigan's born-again hockey team; a group that had trouble fighting its way out of the team bus only one year ago. The primary, and most easily discernible difference between this year's team and the crew from last year is the appearance of five fast, furious freshman forwards. What they may lack in experience and maturity they more than compensate for with a level of energy and in- tensity normally associated with young Tazmanian devils. When Tippett, Reid, Milburn, Speers, or Bruno Baseotto jump over the boards the game seems to shift into high gear., Slow but sure BASEOTTO, the best known of the quintet because of his 24 goals and 33 assists, is ironically the slowest skater. Baseotto's hockey abilities are deceptive however, and in many cases highly infuriating to the op- position. With a strong stick and an uncanny nose for the puck, the rookie right wing-center overcomes his average to small size and his mediocre stride to become an effective fore-checker and a consistent scorer. . .. many reasons Left winger Brad Tippett covers as many square feet of ice during one shift as the ZaMboni covers between periods. He's listed as 5-9, 170 in the program but seems much larger when he wreaks havoc in the opposition's corners. Tippett demonstrates on every shift what un- diluted desire and high-level energy can do for a linemate like Murray Eaves who knows exactly what to do when he gets the puck on a regular basis. ANN ARBOR'S own right wing, Ted Speers, is probably the slickest of the five freshmen. He's fast and fluid and a good passer. Although he began the season as a part-time player, Speers has 17 points in 18 games and should get more as he settles into the Eaves-Tippett line. Muscle, not goals Center Billy Reid and his linemate Joe Milburn are a pair of bowling balls on the checking line with Captain Doug Todd. At 5-8, 180, Reid spends most of his shifts redirecting or upending opposition rushes with his body. While the line of Reid, Todd, and Milburn does not provide much scoring punch (32 combined points), they usually accomplish what they are sent out to do: knock the wind out of the other team's attack. I guess when Farrell says, "We've got a hard-working bunch of guys," he is referring to this fleet of freshman fireplugs. The addition of these five forwards has injec- ted a high level of energy into what was a lethargic Wolverine offense that finished last in the WCHA in scoring last season. Going into the Minnesota series last weekend, Michigan led the WCHA in average goals per game. THERE ARE numerous other reasons for Michigan's startling about-face this year. The fact that they have the nation's leading scorer in soon-to-go-pro Murray Eaves is one. The fact that Paul Frickercan turn away 89 shots in two games against Minnesota, the defending NCAA champions, is another. Having a healthy Dan Lerg who has found the range (56 points) and an ex- perienced defense that plays the body and clears the puck with relative consistency are certainly con- tributing factors. In the end, it seems, winning hockey can be explained in prose, if not by the coach then by a spectator. Whether Farrell's bland and brief appraisal of his team's com- mendable turnaround reflects his attitude toward the game or this reporter is irrelevant. The success of this team is real and the reasons tangible.

BER TONCIN FINDS ALL THREE Prices Good Through February 6, 1980 * Limited Quantities * No Refunds Gymnastics: work, fun, success WE'RE A PRA " h DEALER UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 318 S. State St., Ann Arbor, Ml 761-2011 PLYMOUTH 2755 Plymouth Rd. Mall, Ann Arbor, MI 761-8690 By KIM HANAFEE Michigan top all-around gymnast, Teresa Bertoncin, believes enjoying a sport and having fun is a big part of fin- ding success. She admits she "loves performing" and her accomplishments prove that. First year Coach Sheri Hyatt has in- T1 ~ ~r O a y>. . E 4 US , ........ A "Can Do" attitude is apparent the moment you arrive in Austin. The Highland Lakes invite you to enjoy a myriad of water sports such as skiing and sailing. Top-notch educational facilities, including the University of Texas, staunchly uphold a tradition of excellence. A positive outlook is everywhere..,.the Capital Building, the transportation system, the low cost of living.. .it's a way of life in Austin. We've developed the same approach at the Motorola MOS Division in Austin, challenging electronics professionals to be the best you can be at what you do. And, one reason we're among the leaders in the semiconductor industry is because we believe that "Yes you can," if you try. As an electronic engineer, you'd find the environment at Motorola stimulating and rewarding, much the same as the city of Austin. The opportunities are now, so do something positive. We will be interviewing on your campus February 12. To arrange for your interview, or for more information, please stalled a workout format which has been effective - the team has lost only one of eight dual meets thus far. "-It's (practice) a relaxed situation; Sheri makes it fun," said Bertoncin. "I can't wait to get to practice." However, the vivacious Bertoncin has not always had "fun" this season. She was recently sidelined with a hairline fracture of her right leg. The injury occurred while practicing full twists; repeated landings with her foot turned inward created the sensation of "instant shin splints" for Bertoncin. Luckily though, the fracture is calcifying nicely so it won't be long un- til she's back on the floor. To keep in shape, Bertoncin is swimming and working out on the uneven parallel bars minus the-dismount. Staying tuned on the "bars" is impor- tant since it's her best event. Team- mate Laurie Miesel said, "She (Ber- toncin) has really improved her bars routine." Hyatt explained that some new, high-risk tricks Bertoncin has ad- ded to-her routine will earn an extra 0.3 points. For Bertoncin the most nerve- wracking event is the balance beam, but she has worked hard to overcome her fears. And with the beam as the last event in meets, it "can make or break you" according to Bertoncin. Obviously Bertoncin and her team- mates haven't been "broken" yet, con- sidering their 8-1 mark. Nevertheless, sparse crowds greet the successful tumblers, which bothers Bertoncin. "We put a lot of work into this," said Bertoncin. Then she added with a grin: "I perform better when people watch." Bertoncin first encountered gym- nastics at the local YMCA gym. On her second visit, she was asked to try out for the advanced gymnastics class by her instructor. In six months she was on the Y's team. Following that was four W years at Steve Whitlock's School of Gymnastics, one of the Midwest's best. Today, eight years later, Bertoncin is still hard at it - but having fun just the same.
