The Michigan Daily- Saturday, January 17, 1981 Blue icers dominate State, notch 9-2 win I By MARTHA CRALL In what was tabbed a "Battle of Goalies," Michigan instead turned it in- to the "Michigan State Massacre," as they pounded the Spartans, 9-2, last night at Yost Ice Arena. By the third period, the game was pretty much in the bag, as the Wolverines held a commanding 7-2 ad- vantage. It looked as if, after nine goals had been scored in the first two periods, the third might go scoreless, as both goalies played a flawless seventeen minutes. But Roger Bourne made sure that it didn't stay that way, when at 17:07 he took a pass from John Blum and faked Spartan goalie Bob Troscinski, who dove early, leaving an empty net for Bourne's second goal ofnthe game. Ted Speers put icing on the cake with his second goal at 19:13 with a slapshot from the slot off of assists by Dave Richter and Dave Fardig. The Michigan defense and goalie Paul Fricker recorded a sparkling per- formance and brought the roaring par- tisan crowd of 7,776 to their feet when the Wolverines squelched a five-on- three power play. The scoring started early in the game on a freak goal by Michigan State right winger Ken Paraskevin. Michigan had a power play and was so anxious to score that defensemen Tim Manning and John Blum roamed too deeply into the offensive zone. When the Wolverines lost the puck, Paraskevin had a clear line to the goal. He broke away and fired a slapshot from just past the blue line. The shot caught goalie Fricker completely off guard, giving the Spartans a 1-0 lead at 3:54. It didn't take the Wolverines long to answer, though, and they quickly ran up four goals on the Spartans. The first was a four-on-three Blue ad- vantage. Center Ted Speers got the puck at the point and slipped it over starting goalie Ron Scott's left shoulder. The goal came at 7:03, with Daily Photo by DAVID HARRIS. MICHIGAN LEFT WINGER Brad Tippett gets set to fire in. the second of his two goals last night.

The Kardiac Kids of college basketball, also known as the Michigan Wolverines, are once again driving their followers mad with anxiety by sending games into over- time and leaving the final verdict in doubt until the last few seconds. Today's 4:05 p.m. contest at Crisler Arena between the Wolverines and head coach Lute Olson's Iowa Hawkeyes promises to fit the mold of most Michigan conference games the past two seasons: nerve-racking, pulsating, and laden with emotion (The game will be broadcast by radio station WWJ-950 and telecast by WKBD Chan- nel 50.) LAST SEASON, as most fans recall, "Michigan played in four straight over- time games. So far in 1981, Bill Frieder's bunch has participated in two such affairs, last Saturday's double OT thriller in Minneapolis and Thursday's home battle against Indiana. Yet while the pattern remains, thet results have changed. Last year the' Blue unit lost three o ts four overtime games; this year it is 2-0 in the extra sessions. The Wolverines' success in the final crucial moments has lifted them to the top of the Big Ten, where they have ' plenty of company. The 11-1 cagers (ranked eighth in the nation) are tied with six conference teams, including Iowa, at 2-1. FRIEDER HAD precious little time to savor Michigan's 55-52 win over the defending Big Ten champion Hoosiers. riarly yesterday he began plotting ategy against the Hawkeyes, who beat Wisconsin, 76-66, Thursday evening. The Hawkeyes shocked everyone last spring by reaching the NCAA Final Four, but they have long passed the stage where they can sneak up on un- suspecting opponents. Iowa is a recognized member of the Big Ten's upper echelon, and rival coaches prepare for it accordingly. Like its counterpart this afternoon, .lwa is not bestowed with extraor- dinary individual talent. The only 'genuine standout, guard Ronnie Lester, has graduated, and no one on the 4 current roster can provide the spark which Lester, when healthy, injected .into his team. BUT LIKE MICHIGAN, the Hawkeyes play a cohesive team- oriented brand of basketball. It's a style of play which produced a 23-10 record last year and a 10-2 overall mark this season. And it's the type of team effort which impressed coaches and writers so much that they named Olson Coach of the Year. The only blemish on Iowa's current conference record is a 58-56 loss at home to Ohio State. In that contest, the Hawkeyes built a 15-point first half lead, but shot 30 percent from the field in the second stanza as they scored but 18 points. Leading the Iowa offense is senior 6-6 forward Vince Brookins, who has finally earned starting status after spending most of the past few seasons as a top reserve. Brookins, who burned Michigan for 25 points in Crisler last year, was averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds per game entering Thur- sday's contest at Madison. FLANKING BROOKINS in the front court are Steve Krafcisin, a 6-10 senior center (10.5/6.0) and 6-6 Kevin Boyle, an unselfish, tenacious player who saw time at guard most of last year. Olson has done some tinkering with his starting personnel. Bob Hansen, a 6- 6 sophomore, broke into the starting lineup Thursday on the strength of a career-high 19-point performance against Michigan State last weekend. He joins veteran Kenny Arnold (11.7 ppg) in the backcourt. Boyle, mean- while, moved to forward, replacing Mark Gannon, who has lost 15 pounds in a bout with the flu. Olson expressed concern over Michigan's quickness, especially that of leading scorer Mike McGee (23.8 ppg). "The Michigan ballclub possesses good speed and quickness," he said. "On defense they seem to be cage ars pressuring more than they did under (former coach Johnny) Orr. "MCGEE LOOKS QUICKER and is playing harder than I ever remember him. He appears to be at the top of his game. And Marty Bodnar is really looking for the basketball. He shoots very well, as we found out last year." Olson said his team's ability to recover on defense will largely deter- mine the game's outcome. "It will be a game in which we'll have to be quick at both ends of the court," he said. "I expect to see some pressure zone defense, and some man-to-man pressure. It will be quite a test." WOLVERINE TALES-Marty Bod- nar set a career high with six rebounds against Indiana Thursday night. . . A win today is likely to elevate Michigan to fifth or sixth in next week's wire ser- vice polls. . . The Big Ten offers a rare Sunday treat tomorrow when Indiana visits Ohio State.

The Wolverines capitalized again 2:10 later when Bourne took his own rebound and shot the puck past a felled Scott. At 16:02 Michigan struck again. Jeff Mars winged a shot from the point, fed by Paul Brandrup and Manning, that richocheted off of Scott's leg and into the net. The Wolverines scored their fourth goal of the period only 16 seconds later on a four-on-four opportunity, when Joe Milburn let, go a wild shot that was helped into-the net by a Michigan State defenseman. "The first period was the best period we've played all year," said Michigan coach John Giordano. "Our offensive zone play was fantastic." In the second period Michigan picked up where it left off with Brad Tippett scoring Michigan's first short-handed goal of the season at 5:05. Tippett scored his second goal with a little help from Scott, who deflected the puck in at 14:09. Blum concluded the second period barrage at 18:21 on a four-on- three power play off of a beautiful pass from Richmond that found Blum per- fectly situated in front of the net.

The Huskies, who sport a 5-0-1 dual meet ledger and have already defeated Minnesota (which tied for third in the Big Ten last season) are led by Ernie Batch at 167 pounds. Michigan coach Dale Bahr pointed out that Batch is surrounded by many fine wrestlers and added that Northern Illinois is very "well balanced; pretty solid up and down the line." However, Bahr is con- fident that the Wolverines will rise to the occasion. "If we wrestle the way we are capable of, we should do a good job," said Bahr. The Wolverines' dual meet record fell to 2-5 last Wednesday, when the grap- plers lost to Cleveland State by a 25-18 score. That loss, like most of Michigan's other setbacks this season could have gone the other way if the Wolverines had managed to win in just one more weight class. The problem, Bahr said, is that Michigan needs "one Greg Manning of Maryland had a 90.8 free-throw percentage and was 64.3 from the field in the 1979-80 college basketball season. more consistent winner. Right now we have four wrestlers who win consisten- tly for us; (Joe) McFarland, (Nemir) Nadhir, (Pat) McKay and (Eric) Klasson," said Bahr. "One more would enable us to win some of the matches we would otherwise lose." Women thinclads in Invitational Prior to the first meet of the women's track season, head coach Ken Simmons was not particularly optimistic, predic- ting that the best his team could hope to finish in the three-team Michigan State Invitational would be just ahead of Cen- tral Michigan for second place behind the Spartans. But the women thinclades were not listening. They narrowly defeated Michigan State for first place, and Simmon's humble outlook prior to the meet at MSU has turned to guarded op- timism for today's Western Michigan Invitational. "We have a chance of coming out on top. I think they (the other teams) will recognize the fact that we're in pretty good shape, so they'll probably get down to work," said Simmons. In addition to Michigan, the top out- fits in the 12-team meet are MSU, Cen- tral Michigan and Western Ontario. To win this Invitational, the Wolverines will have to depend upon experience. "We don't have too many outstanding recruits. We're going with veterans," said Simmons. -RON POLLACK CONTINUOUS WEAR SOFT CONTACT LENS Wear for extended periods of time.
