ICERS FACE-OFF AGAINST NORTH DAKOTA:
WGII teams bat
By GARY LEVY
A DailySprts Analysis
If you think the Big Ten basketball
e is loggammed, take a look at the
HA standings.. With four games
remaining for each team, the hockey
race is equally as tight leaving the
playoff picture unsettled and the
Michigan icers in the middle of it.
North Dakota, perched atop the
league standings with a 17-6-1 mark, is
the only team to have clinched one of
the eight available playoff-spots.
Michigan finds itself in somewhat of
odd position. Although in second
ace with a 12-8-2 record, the icers
have yet to secure a playoff berth.
One victory, however, would assure
Michigan a spot.
-Dan Farrell's icers have their work'
cut out for them if they hope to unseat
North Dakota from the number one
spot. Michigan would have to win all of
its final four games while the Sioux lost
all of their remaining games.
Michigan can narrow these slim odds
when it faces North Dakota in Grand
Forks tonight and tomorrow. However,
the icers have not fared well on the road
this season with a 2-7 mark, so in all
likelihood, first place is out of the
question.
Holding on to second place would
seem to be Michigan's goal for the
remainder of the season. Three
victories would assuresthe icers of the
runner-up spot, thus giving them a
home-ice advantage throughout the
WCHA playoffs.-
This is how the playoffs are set up:
The top eight finishers during the
regular season qualify. These teams
are paired off according to the final
standings with the first four seeded
squads hosting the two-game, .total
goals wins series.
The four teams that advance pair off
in similar series with the top two seeds
receiving the home ice advantage.
Of the final two teams, the one that
finished higher in the regular season
tling for
standings automatically qualifies as
one of the two midwest teams for the
NCAA finals held in Providence, R.I.
The 'other' team will in all probability
face the Central Collegiate Hockey
Association champion in a one-game
playoff (at a CCHA rink) to determine
the second midwest representative:
Looking at this system, it would be to
the icers' enormous advantage to hold
on to their second place position since
the team has been nearly indestructible
at Yost Arena this season, winning 16,
losing only once and tying twice.
Minnesota (15-13-0), Notre Dame (12-
11-1) and Colorado College (13-12-1) are
all within reach of Michigan and are
also battling for the four, home-ice
advantage spots in the opening round.
The Gophers and Irish square off in
South Bend in a crucial season finale
and a split in the series could spoil both
teams chances of passing Michigan.
Minnesota-Duluth (13-15-0), Michigan
Tech (10-12-2) and Wisconsin (11-15-0),
pla.. fs
p layffs
in the sixth, seventh and eighth
positions, are hoping to hold on to their
precious, playoff spots. Michigan State
(10-14-0), currently in ninth place, finds
itself in a dogfight to latch onto a
playoff spot, and will have it tough with
home games against Notre Dame and a
home and away final series against
Michigan.
Denver (7-14-1), buried in tenth place,
is not yet mathematically eliminated
from the playoff picture, although its
chances are slim to none.
From the looks of it, the scramble for
the playoffs will not be determined until
the final third period sirens have
sounded across the WCHA.

Sure, we could tell you about the
exciting challenge and great rewards
at Honeywell's Small Medium
Information Systems Division. All
about the tremendous success of our
minicomputer and terminal products.
We could even go on to boast about
our environment-where products,
projects, policies and procedures are
completely state-of-the-art. But we
won't. We'll let you find out for yourself.
We know that the best way to get a
feel for what Honeywell's really like is

professionals.
Just read what they have to say:

Engineering Program-meet with us when
we visit your campus. And maybe you'll find
yourself part of our next ad.
Our Honeywell SIMISD representatives will
be looking for you when we visit your
rerusin.
Esther Sanchez, Boston University
Manufacturing Management Program
"Due to the variety of assignments available and the different
types of people with which I interface through the
Manufacturing Management Program, I feel I'm obtaining the
basic tools to achieve my career goals in management."
Reeni Goldin, Pratt Institute
Advanced Engineering Program
"Through rotating work assignments and graduate courses
towards a Master's degree, an entry level person can gain
broad exposure to the mini-computer business in a
relatively short period of time.
Ching Ching Ganley, Clarkson College
Manager- Office Systems Support
"Instead of dealing with only one or two main products,
Honeywell is almost unique in that it offers a large number of
diversified product lines. I feel one can be exposed to all
aspects of the computer industry by simply working for
Honeywell."
Derek Jones, Colgate University
Manager of Product Planning
"In the years I've been with Honeywell I've noticed an
increased growth in both the demand for and acceptance
of our products. I think Honeywell offers young people the
opportunity to make significant contributions to and growth
within'the company.
