LAKERS TO CHALLENGE UNDEFEATED BLUE
M icers set for weekend series
By MARTHA CRALL
Special to the Daily
SAULT STE. MARIE- When a winless team meets an un-
defeated one, the rendezvous often ends with neither team
retaining its-original distinction.
That theory will be put to the test this weekend as the
A ichigan Wolverine icers (2-0 in the CCHA) meet Lake
Superior State College (0-4 in the league) in a two-game
series here.
"YOU'VE GOT TO look at that record," said Wolverine
head coach John Giordano. "They lost twice to (first-place)
Michigan State, once in overtime."
Giordano does not expect the Lakers, winner of two non-
conference games against Western Ontario, to be a pushover.
"They're an offensive threat," he said. "It'won't be as easy
as their record would indicate."
The Lakers have proven that they can score goals, as their
top six scorers have accumulated 40 points in six games.
THE WOLVERINES are ranked third in the country in the
WMPL (coaches') poll and are hot off of a two-game, non-
conference sweep of Toronto last weekend in Ann Arbor.
"We're in pretty good shape physically," said Giordano af-
ter the two-game tussle with a rugged Toronto squad. "We're,
drained mentally. Hopefully, we can bounce back."
Michigan will once again rely on its veteran defense to
neutralize Lake Superior State's biggest offensive threats,
right wing Steve Mulholland (three goals-five assists-eight
points) and center Mickey Chandler (2-5-7).
EITHER FRESHMAN Jon Elliott (3-0) or senior Peter
Mason (1-0) will start in goal for Michigan. First-year Laker
coach Bill Selman has also used two goalies, sophomore
Lawrence Dyck and senior Pat Ansell.
Michigan's major scoring weapon thus far has been Ted
Speers (7-0-7). Brad Tippett (2-3-5) acts as its sparkplug.
Tonight's game begins at 8 p.m., while action will start
,tomorrow at 7:30 in the James Norris Center.

GRIDDE PICKS'

ball.press luncheon, reporters crowded
around Wolverine freshman Eric Tur-

when he sauntered within earshot of the
conversation.
"Are you picking Purdue or Iowa in
this week's Griddes, Eric?" asked a
*etroit Free Press reporter.
"What about the Clemson-North
Carolina contest," inquired a man from
the Detroit News.

divulge-his picks. If you'd like to get in

Pistons keep rolling,
By MARK FISCHER
Special to the Daily
PONTIAC- The Detroit
Pistons outscored New Jersey,
22-9, at the start of the third quar-
ter and held on for the rest of the
game to defeat the Nets, 109-103,
before 5,116 fans at the Silver-
dome last night. It was the
Pistons' third win of the season
against no losses.
Detro t took an 81-74 into the
final stanza, but the Nets chipped
away at it behind Buck Williams'
12 fourth-period points to pull
within two, 101-99, on a Mike
Woodson layup with two minutes
left in the game. A minute-and-a-
half and an exchange of baskets
later, Williams missed an offen-
sive tap attempt and came
crashing down on teammate Len
Elmore, leaving the Pistons with
a five-on-three fastbreak. John
Long took advantage of it with a
short jumper to put Detroit up by
four with 24 seconds left.
RON LEE and Kelly Tripucka
iced the game for the home team
with four foul shots to finish the
Pistons' scoring.
Long led a balanced Piston
scoring attack with 23 points,
followed by the 15-point perfor-
mances of Terry Tyler, who
played inspired defense (six
blocked shots) all game,, and
Isiah Thomas who fouled out with
1:16 remaining.
Piston coach Scotty Robertson
praised Tyler for his efforts.
"Terry made some great plays
and had some great blocks."

"IBDRAKE NOR
ARTESIANS"
"I like drivin' for Olympia.
Real good company Real
good beer. But there's one
thing I learned a long time
aco It's the Artesian brewing
water that makes Oly taste
so good. So when I'm drivin'
anywhere near the brewery,
I watch out for Artesians.
They'll run right out in front
of you. Don't look or nothin'"
