After the Wolverines get done beating Denver by twenty goals this weekend out West, they'll en- tertain their two-year nemesis, the Michigan Tech Huskies, coached by John Maclnnes. Prior to the two games' with North Dakota during the annual WinterCarnival in Houghtontonight and tomorrow, Maclnnes has 499 victories to his coaching credit. Obviously, number 500 is a milestone, but if he gets two more, he becomes the winningest coach in college history, surpassing John "Snooks" Kelley's mark of 501 set during 40 years of coaching at Boston College. Wolverine coach Dan Farrell, for one, thinks the Huskies will sweep the Fighting Sioux. Tech has won eight of its last 10 Winter Carnival games, and two more this weekend would have Maclnnes coming to town looking for the record against Michigan. And there's the twist. Farrell is a former player under MacInnes during his first few years as coach back in the late Fifties. "I would rather not get the record against Danny," said MacInnes, "because they're fighting for the championship. But I would like to get the wins as soon as possible and get out of this mess and get going." Farrell got a bit of a chuckle out of that reasoning. "Ah, he's just politicking," he said. "I expect him to win two this weekend, and he'll be coming in here looking for 502. Don't let him fool ya." Politicking. An appropriate term. Maclnnes, who did his playing at Michigan, has beaten the Wolverines ten straight times dating back to 1977. He probably can't wait to get back to Ann Arbor. Finally, after two years, the playoffs Finally, after two years, the playoffs for Michigan. No matter what, If things go as they have been so far, the Wolverin'es will have the home ice advantage for the first round, and probably the second too, if they get that far. The playoffs are a two-game total goals series, and the eight playoff teams get whittled down to two. Those two teams, however, do not play each other to determine a playoff champion. Rather, the top league finisher of the final two automatically qualifies for the NCAA tournament, to be held in Providence this season. The other team plays a single playoff game against a team selected by the NCAA for the right to represent the West in the NCAA Finals. The selection of the at-large team is pretty much a given. Since they started this procedure, the at- large team has been the winner of the CCHA playoffs, easily the second best league in the coun- try this season. So far, Northern Michigan, ranked number one, is on top of that league with an un- blemished 19-0 record. Right behinid the Wildcats is Ohio State (8-2), a very fine hockey team, and the two squads are playing a series this weekend in Columbus in what should be one of the most ex- citing series of the season. It is conceivable that Michigan will play one of these teams in the single playoff game. If it's Nor- thern, the game will be played in Marquette, although that decision is up to the NCAA also. If it's Ohio State, who knows where the game will be played? Money is the bottom line, and the Buckeyes' rink is just too small (1200 capacity) to warrant a playoff game. This kind of rambling is purely hypothetical at this time. But -a problem will arise if it actually comes down to an Ohio State-Michigan playoff. It has been suggested by some that that game could be played in Bowling Green, a CCHA rink midway between the two Big Ten cities. That would be practical. But the NCAA and. practicality is an oxymoron, as history has shown us. But no matter what, the Wolverines will see some playoff action, and that's news around here. The Polish are coming The Polish are coming, Next Wednesday, the Polish National Team visits Yost for an exhibition against the Wolverines before heading to Lake Placid in quest of the Gold. "If you're a purist of the game," says Farrell, "you'll enjoy watching European hockey." But if you're a radio broadcaster, you won't en- joy describing the play-by-play. It is said the ' Polish roster can give an announcer a permanent case of lockjaw. Some examples: Tadeusz Obluj, Bogdan Dziubikski, Ludwik Synowiec, Wieslaw Jobczuk, et cetera, et cetera. It might be worth a good laugh to listen/to the student radio station, WCBN, broadcast the game. I understand there will be a rookie calling the play-by-play.

"They say you can't go home again, but I guess I did," Morgan told a news conference. "I said when I left Houston that I wanted to come back." Morgan, 36, said if he could avoid in- juries that have plagued him in recent years, he would be a better player than ever. ".I'M PROBABLY a better second baseman now than the guy who won those five Golden Glove Awards," Morgan said. "I've got a stronger arm and I know so much more about the game." Morgan, who has a .277 lifetime bat- ting average and has played in eight All-Star games, said he was -taking his career one year at a time. "I've been taking a wait-and-see at- titude for a number of years," Morgan said. "Players don't always lose their skills. Sometimes they lose their desire to work hard all the time and to give 100 per cent. If you're only giving 70 per cent, it's almost impossible and I dor think I've lost that desire." ASTROS)MANAGER Bill Virdon said Morgan's must important quality would be his runs-batted-in potential. "I feel like he is going to be able to hit in one of the, run-producing slots in the line-up," Virdon said. "Now which one that'might be, right now I can't answer.

Danielson signs DETROIT - Detroit Lions quarter- back Gary Danielson, who spent the en- tire 1979 season on the bench with an in- jured knee, signed a one-year contract yesterday with the National Football League club. Although terms of the pact were r disclosed, the amount was believed in the vicinity of $150,000, plus a bonus for signing. "I'M VERY happy to have this resolved," said the 6-foot-2, 195-pound Danielson. "I'm especially glad it was settled before it went into free agency. "I feel the contract is fair to bo sides, and I'm looking forward to a loW career here in Detroit. I look at the signing as the first of what I hope to be many positive steps towards a suc- cessful 1980 season." Last week, Lions General Manager Russ Thomas told UPI there was never any doubt Danielson would be playing quarterback with Detroit next year. EVEN IF HE would have become a free agent, Thomas indicated the Li+ might have matched the best off Danielson received from'another club: Both sides wanted a long term con- tract but were so far apart in salary they mutually agreed that a one-year pact would be best. -UPI I I Me & Mrs. Jones 4 SLet'Em In 5"44 Tape JC 35978 "Great Encounters" is Z2 36314"The Best of Billy Paul" gives the new album by the extraordinary us all of his spectacularehits like "But It Once.
