0 Page 12-Tuesday, December 8, 1981-- MSU The Michigan Daily splits, remains atop the CCHA By MARK BOROWSKI Ron Mason must surely be enjoying his team's premier season in the CCHA. The Michigan State hockey coach has finally cleaned out the dead weight that has plagued the Spartans since Mason took over the team three years ago and has turned it into a first-place conten- der instead of a last-place loser. IN THE 1980-81 season Mason wit- nessed his team struggle to a last-place finish in the WCHA, but this season it is all alone in the CCHA top spot after last weekend's split with fifth-place Bowling Green. MSU snatched the opener from the Falcons, 6-5, by scoring three goals in the final four minutes of the contest in East Lansing. But when Bowling Green returned to its home ice, it refused to let another early lead slip away and held on fora 4-3 win. Bowling Green's Brian Hills scored three power play goals in the series, in- cluding the winner on Saturday night. The split left Michigan State's record at 8-3-1 and gave it a .008 percentage point lead over second-place Northern Michigan. Bowling Green's record moved to 5-4-1 and knotted it in a tie for fifth with Michigan Tech. Michigan Tech 7-6, Western Michigan 3-5 Michigan Tech captain Rick Boehm earned CCHA Player-of-the-Week honors as the Huskies swept Western Michigan. Boehm picked up seven poin- ts in the series, leading his team to its first CCHA series sweep of the season. The Broncos' Ross Fitzpatrick collec- ted his second three-goal hat trick of the season, and he currently leads Western's offense with 24 points. The senior from Penticton, British Cplum- bia ranks second on the all-time WMU lists in goals, assists and points and needs only eight more points to surpass Tim Dunlop's total of 198 and set a new career point record. Ferris State 3-6, Northern Michigan 2-8 Ferris State dropped Northern from its tie for the number one spot in the CCHA by edging the Wildcats, 3-2, in the series opener held in Big Rapids Friday night. The defending CCHA champions retaliated with a big 8-6 win, however, the following night. Northern Michigan freshman goalie Bruno Campese ran his record to 7-0 to remain unbeaten. He replaced Jeff Poeschl in the 3-2 loss and allowed no goals by making 17 saves in 32:40 of ac- tion to win the second game. CCHA overall leading scorer Eric Ponath ran his scoring streak to 14 games. He is the only player to have at least one point in every contest he has performed in this season for the Wild- cats.

Club Sports Roundup SQUASH The Michigan 'B' Squash Club travelled to Toledo.last Wednesday for a match with the Toledo Athletic Club and came away with a 4-1 victory: The five-man team saw four Wolverine winners, including Larry Master, who plays B-1 (the team's first position), Jim Blick, Steve Carpman and Kelly Newton. Hal Sprague was the only losing Wolverine,-and he "went down in a tough match," according to Blick. The club has had three matches this season and boasts a 3-0 record with match scores of 4-1, 3-2, and 4-1. "We've been doing fairly well," Blick said. The team's next competition will be tomorrow at the Metropolitan Racquet Club in Detroit. The 'C' team posted a 4-1 victory after it travelled from Ann Arbor for a match against the Detroit Athletic Club last Tuesday. The four winning Wolverines were Ed Sanchez, Mark Tucker, Siamak Arya and Ross Campbell. The one losing match came from substitute Neil Juliar. Michigan's Ross Campbell explained that the standings are based on in- dividual matches won, with his team's record standing at 15-5. The team's match record stands at 3-1. "I don't have anything negative to say, really," said Campbell. "I expect that we'll do well this year as compared to last year." Today at the CCRB the 'C' squad plays its first home game, as it takes on another team from the Detroit Athletic Club. According to club member Dara Dinner, the women's squash squad is "not doing too well." The women got off to a slow start this season, losing its opening match against the Toledo Athletic Club by the score of 3-0. The team also lost its most recent match last Thursday to the Jewish Community Center with a final score of 3-1. "We don't have very many matches for women," pointed out Dinner. Another problem seems to be the lack of interest to compete among the women. "A few women play," said Dinner, "but most aren't very com- petitive." The women's team consists of three members and three alternates, with one alternate being the captain of the second men's 'C' team. "We do better in single competition than in matches," explained Dinner. The team still has six upcoming matches to round out its season. The Undergraduate Squash club headed by coach/player Bill Austin is in its second year at Michigan and is trying vigorously to promote itself. Very few schools in the midwest have undergraduate squash clubs, so the Michigan club gets its main competition from weekend tournaments. The last event the team participated in was a quadrangle meet with Wisconsin, Purdue and Illinois. Michigan placed second, with Illinois taking first. "The main goal of the team," according to Austin, "is to go to the inter- collegiate championships." Last year the six-man club competed in the championships, placing 26th out of 35 schools entered. The Club Sports Roundup relates briefly the activities of the Michigan club sports- during the previous week. This week's infor- mation was compiled by Daily sports writer Tam Bentley.

BRIARWOOD MALL 769-5777 By JOE CHAPELLE The selection of an alternative faculty representative was the major bit of business accomplished at the November' 24 meeting of Michigan's Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics. Board member Dr. Paul Gikas presented a list of candidates for the position of alternate faculty represen- tative to the Board, which made its choice and then submitted the name, which 'itnrefused to disclose, to the Senate Advisory Committee on Univer- Merry Christmas from the World's Largest Honky Tonk ORDER NOW sity Affairs (SACUA) for approval. If the selection is confirmed, the name of the alternate will be made public shor- tly thereafter. The duties of the alter- nate representative will consist chiefly of aiding the faculty representative in relations with the NCAA, the Big Ten, and other athletic organizations. The Board also discussed arrangements for the December 31 Bluebonnet Bowl football game, in which Michigan plays UCLA. The Bluebonnet Bowl is paying the athletic department an amount between $400,000 and $500,000 as a participant.& The money will be used to cover the costs of transportation for both the football team and the Michigan Mar- ching Band; any money that remains from the original payment will then be split evenly among all of the Big Ten conference schools.
