By BOB EMORY The Wolverines will get a break from what has so r been a rough week of practice when they enter- taro the touring Polish Olympic team tonight in an exhibition at Yost Arena. The Polish team is currently on a midwestern swing before heading to Lake Placid for the Winter Olympics. Last night the Polish played the Bowling Green Falcons in Bowling Green. The Polish are in the Red Group for the Olympics, alopg with Canada, Finland, Russia, Holland and Japan. The rest of the competing teams - Czechoslovakia, America, West Germany, Sweden, Romania, and Norway - are in 4pe Blue Group. WOLVERINE COACH Dan Farrell, for one, is hap- py to be playing the Polish. "Yeah, sure. I love the European style of hockey," he said. "If you're a purist of the game, you'll enjoy it." Since Michigan has -lost three straight WCHA games, the question was raised as to whether the exhibition might interrupt the team's norrhal prac- tice routine for the crucial series against Michigan Tech this weekend at Yost. '" "Oh, I don't know, maybe a little," said Farrell. "Particularly after three losses, there are a few A' ings I would've liked to work on in practice. We ould use the time, but I don't think it will hurt us." MOST OF THE players that were asked feel a little more enthusiastic than their boss. John Blum, one of two players of Polish descent, was busy instructing everybody on how to verbalize properly in Polish during the game. He repeated (very slowly) the Polish ,version of the slang for "fertilizer" several times to players on their way to the showers after yesterday's practice. "Just to make them feel more at home," explained one player. "Hey, Blum," said Steve Richmond, "I hear they're trading you to the Polish team for a role of tape and a (unprintable)." THAT REMINDED Blum (known as Blumski) of an anecdote from the last time the Wolverines played a European team, the Moscow Dynamo in January of 1978. "A few minutes into the game, I remember Kip Maurer came over to the bench and said, 'Hey, these guys aren't that good.' Hell, they blew us out after that." The final score of that game was 12-0 in favor of Moscow. "They were just toying with us," offered defen- seman Tim Manning. APPARENTLY, THE only player who knows anyting about the Polish team is freshman center Bruno Baseotto. "Our junior team played them last year," he said. "They handle the puck well, they pass well and they can all shoot well. If they're coming up the ice and they aren't set up well, they'll circle back around at the blueline and regroup instead of dum- ping it in." In case you're wondering, Baseotto's junior team lost to the Polish by 6-5 score. "They got a lot of cheap goals," he said Can Michigan win? "Oh sure. But if we run into penalty trouble we won't have a chance. We've got to stay out of the box. Five of their goals against us last year were power play goals. It didn't take them more than thirty seconds to score." Freshman Paul Fricker will start in goal for the Wolverines, and he is not a newcomer to European hockey, either. "I've played against the Czechs and the Japanese teanis," he said. "The Czechs killed us, but we beat the Japs." FROM A GOALIES' perspective, Fricker said the Europeans use the wrist shot more than the slapshot, and they don't shoot unless they're in close. Can Michigan win? "Sure, I think we're going to win. Why not?" As far as history goes, the Michigan hockey team has played national teamsnine times in the past, in- cluding four against the United States teams. The Wolverines last won in 1975, when they beat the U.S. 6-5 in overtime. Pat Hughes, who is playing with the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL, scored a hat trick. In 1962, the Wolverines upended the West German team, 5-2, at Cobo Hall in Detroit. In 1958, the Russian Olympic team handed them a 7-3 loss and in the same year the U.S. team beat them, 6-2. The year before, the Wolverines beat the U.S., 5-3. More recently, Kladno of Czechoslovakia skated to a 5-3 victory over Michigan in,1975.

Game time is 7:30 p.m. HUGHES r HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY Buck hopes center on ex-Piston Lanier MILWAUKEE (AP -Milwaukee Bucks' Coach Don Nelson introduced Bub Lanier to the local media yesterday, and flatly predicted the veteran center will make his club a legitimate contender for the National Basketball Associaiton championship. Lanier, acquired from the Detroit Pistons Monday night in exchange for third- year center Kent Benson and the Bucks' first round draft choice this year, has been sidelined for six weeks because of a ruptured tendon in his left little finger. He said once he gets in shape-he estimated it will take two weeks-he will be able to help the Bucks to the top. The 6-foot-1I Lanier, while a seven-time NBA All-Star, said he felt his talents had been wasted with the Pistons because of their extensive personnel turnover the past few years. "But I'm involved now with guys with talent and involved in a team concept," he said. "I think my talents can blend with theirs. I hope we can bring a championship to this city." "It's not that Kent Benson was not a good player-he was," said Nelson of Detroit's new pivotman. "Kent will have a long career in the NBA. He will never be a dominating player, but that doesn't mean he's a bad player. But when you can get a dominating player to replace an adequate, good plyer, it's just the thing to do." AN EVENING With PETE SEEER Bob Lanier 0 Wales rally in 3rd beats Campbell All-Stars 6-3 Friday Feb. 8 8:00p.m. Ford Auditorium Jefferson at Woodward, Detroit 08.00 a 05.00 Available at: -Schoolkids' Records -Hudson's Briarwood By The Associated Press DETROIT - Defensemen Ron Stackhouse, Craig Hartsburg and Reed Larson struck for a record three goals a 1:32 span of the third period last eight, giving the Prince of Wales Con- ference a 6-3 triumph over the Clarence Campbell Conference and its fifth con- secutive National Hockey League All- Star victory. A record pro hockey crowd of 21,002 turned out, to cheer the All-Star homecoming of Gordie Howe, a legend here for 25 seasons. The fans showered him with a standing ovation for 21/2 minutes during the pre-game introduc- tions and rocked the new Joe Louis #rena with 3:54 remaining when the 51- year-old Howe set up the final Wales goal by Real Cloutier of the Quebec Nordiques. THE CAMPBELL Conference had rallied from a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead on goals by Reggie Leach of Philadelphia, Kent Nilsson of Atlanta and Philadelphia rookie Brian Propp. But Stackhouse, of the Pittsburgh Penguins, pulled the Wales Conference *ven at 11:40 of the final period, conver- ting a pass from Toronto's Darryl Sit- P~er and triggering the goal explosion that snapped the record for the fastest three goals by one team in an All-Star contest.

Seattle 123, Iereland 121, RICHFIELD, Ohio - Guard Dennis Johnson hit two free throws with two seconds remaining and scored a game- high 34 points to lead the Seattle Super- sonics to a 123-121 National Basketball Association victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers last night. % THE VICTORY keeps the Sonics in first place in the NBA Pacific Division, one-half game ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers defeated the New York Knicks 116-105 last night. Cleveland led by as many as nine points midway through the fourth quar- ter, but Seattle tied the game with less than three minutes to go at 115 on a basket by Johnson. Seattle then forged ahead 119-115 on baskets by Lonnie Shelton and Johnson. The Cavaliers came back to tie it at 121-121 on two free throws by center Dave Robisch, who led the Cavs with 28 points. That set the stage for Johnson's key free throws.
