The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, March 17, 1981- Page 8 Grid offense takes to air By RON POLLACK Last year, the Michigan football teamn utilized the forward pass more -than in past years, and as spring foot- ball practice begins today, Bo Schem- bechler is planning on making his team even more pass oriented.. "I think everyone ought to throw the ball," said Schembechler. "(Anthony) Carter, (Stanley) Edwards and (Butch) Woolfolk should throw. Carter can throw beautifully. I feel that in football today, you have to do both (pass and run)" ONE RESULT of the Wolverines recent incorporation of the pass is the use of running backs as receivers. "The backs have got to be receivers. You have to have five guys who can catch the ball, and use them all," said Schembechler., But Schembechler emphasizes that in order for the offense to move the ball, it's not just a matter of passing more of- ten, but execution and timing. "In football there are only so many things you can emphasize," said Schembechler. "You can say you want great kicking, great defense, great passing; great option attack, great power running, but you can't do all of that. It's impossible. You don't have time and you can't absorb it, you can't teach it. "SO YOU PICK out the most impor- tant things that you really want to get across. Look at our offense last year. Do you know how many plays we ran? Four or five, that's all. How many passes? Half a dozen. The question is, did you throw them at the right time, did you block and did you execute?" If the answer to these questions are to be yes next season, then Schembechler must find four new offensive starters. For the second year in a row the quarterback spot will be contested. Leading candidates ,for this spot are junior Rich Hewlett and sophomore Steve Smith. Although both are very talented, their lack of experience will have to be overcome. "THE BIG THING will be retooling at quarterback, that'll be the big thing to come out of spring practice," said Schembechler. "It's hard to predict success with no real established quar- terback." Schembechler notes that whichever player gains the starting berth, a new dimension will be added to the Wolverines' offense. "We'll have a quarterback that's a little more mobile. They could set their sights on John (Wangler) and go after him. You overcommit on Smith or Hewlett and they can run the ball," said Schembechler. OTHER quarterbacks include Dave Hall, Greg Powell, B.J. Dickey, after a one year hiatus, and Fritz Burgess. With the graduation of Alan Mitchell, the wide receiver position is one which Schembechler will be looking to fill during spring practice. Vying for the starting role are senior Fred Brockington, junior Kenny Gear and sophomore Vince Bean. When talking about this vacancy, Schembechler seems to have some reservations. "The big thing is having another speedy receiver. I worry a little about that," he said. Rounding out the Wolverine receiving corps are tight ends Norm Betts and Craig Dunaway. ALTHOUGH tackles Bubba Paris and Ed Muransky return with guard Kurt Becker to form a strong foun- dation, the offensive line was weakened by the loss of center George Lilja and guard John Powers to graduation. Par- ticularly worrisome to Schembechler is finding a replacement for Lilja. "That center position is really key. That may even be more key than quar-, terback. The center's got to be good," said Schembechler. Competing for Lilja's spot will be sophomores Larry Sweeney and Tom Dixon along with Jeff Felten, a senior with two years of eligibility remaining. Senior Tom Garrity, who also has two years of eligibility remaining, would also have warranted a look for the cen- ter spot had it not been for knee surgery which will keep him out of spring prac- tice.

Michigan Avenue ChicagoIy EmlyM An Equal Opportunity Employer MIF By MARTHA CRALL Michigan's hockey season came to an official erd Sunday night when the NCAA Ice Hockey Committee, despite a Vote for Michigan by the coaches'' Ad- visory Committee from the West, chose Wisconsin for the second and final at- large berth for this weekend's regional series. .p"We got screwed," said an extremely upset head coach John Giordano Sun- day night. Yesterday he talked to committee member Jim Lessig, athletic director at Bowling Green, about his dissatisfaction with the selec- tion. According to Lessig, because of the tie-breaking criteria of season record, head-to-head competition and post-season play, Wisconsin was the clear selection in their minds and that the coaches' committee "used the wrong criteria to select Michigan." WISCONSIN INDEED presented a strong case, posting a 17-11 conference and 24-14 overall record for a second place tie in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and besting Michigan three out of four times during the season. Michigan, on the other hand, finished at 15-13 and 23-17, good for a fifth-place tie, but beat Denver at DU Arena 10-6 in1 total goals in the first round of playoffs while Wisconsin lost, 13-12 total goals, to seventh place Colorado College. The, Wolverines also had a very strong finish (9-4 in their last 13 games), losing only to Michigan Tech, the last two times over the weekend, 2-1 and 7-1, in the second round of WCHA playoffs. Wisconsin split its last eight games against the seventh, ninth and tenth place teams. The regional seedings for the West are: 1. Minnesota, WCHA Champion; 2. Northern Michigan, Central Collegiate Hockey Association Champion; 3. Michigan Tech, at-large berth; 4. Wisconsin, a-large berth. Women trackstersfall Michigan's women's track team traveled to Pocatello, Idaho for the AIAW national meet this past weekend, and though they returned without having scored any points; "They found out what the good competition is like," according to coach Ken Simmons. Leading 'M' performers included Sue Frederick, who, though laboring under the effects of the flu, still finished ninth in the 1,000 meter run. Melaine Weaver, beset by allergies, managed a 12th place run in the 5,000 meters. OTHER HEALTHY Wolverines were simply outclassed by athletes from schools with superior facilities and fun- ding. Lori Thornton, for example, sailed to a 19'6" in the preliminaries of the long jump, one of her best efforts- ever. Yet she didn't make it into the finals. The 4 x 200 relay team of Cathy Sharpe, Renee Turner, Thornton and Brenda Kazinec ran a 1:41.95, close to their fastest seasonal time, but were left far behind a number of teams, 'hopes paced by the winning 1:36.68 of Florida State University. Overall, the Michigan tracksters gained few honors, but much experien- ce in the face of some overwhelming competition. "The 4 x 400 relay team from MSU was the best thing in the Big Ten, with a 3:47," said Simmons "In the final at Pocatello, they finished 110 yards behind the winning team, which did 3:37. And our best this season was 3:59. -JOHN FITZPATRICK CLUB SPORTS ROUNDUP: Laxers nip MU 3=2 By ALAN GOLDSTEIN Last Friday the Michigan State lacrosse club visited the Wolverine lacrosse club in order to tune up for the upcoming season. Michigan' pulled out a.3-2 victory in the battle of the 'A' teams. Rick Bays led the way with two goals while Paul Maturo accounted for the third tally. Matt Dawe chipped in with all three assists. The Wolverines' starting goalie, Mike Keyes, was in mid-season form, turning in a stellar performance. The Spartans rebounded in the second half as their 'B' team edged Michigan's 'B' team, 2-1. Michigan averted a shutout in the second half when Al Clavel scored the lone goal for'the Wolverines.
