The University of Toronto hockey team skates into Ann Arbor this weekend, but it seems as though a messenger from Canada arrived earlier in the week - the frigid arctic air. Regardless of the-weather on Ohe- outside, though, the Toronto-Michigan hockey series should ignite the Yost partisans from both sides of the border. Toronto, currently sporting a 12-3-2 record, com- petes in the Ontario Universities Athletic Association (OUAA) which also includes Windsor, the amiable neighbor of Michigan basketball. According to Toron- to Coach Gord Davies, the Blue' 1980-81 assets and liabilities are opposite of the Wolverines. "OUR STRENGTHS lie with the offense. That's where our experience and talent are," the Toronto coach explained. Much of the scoring prowess stems ,from the four Blues players who were members of the Canadian hockey team at Lake Placid in 1980. 'Former Olympians center Dan D'Alise, winger Stelio Zupanicich, and Shaw Tamiblyn comprise the bulk of the Toronto scoring if siot also nightmares for unsuspecting play-by-play announcers. "Stelio gets a few laughs after public address announcements," admits Davies. Unlike the Wolverines, Toronto's Achilles heel remains with the defense. "Inexperience and youth" are the words Davies uses to describe -his defensive skaters, so the inconsistent Wolverine offense will have an opportunity to boost their scoring totals. Another hurdle for the northern neighbors will be a few rule differences between Canadian and United States hockey. In United States collegiate hockey, the. center ice line is used for icing purposes but not for two-line pass violations. In Canadian collegiate com- petition, the red line is used for two-line pass violations, so the Blues will have to adjust. THE WOLVElINES need not adjust though, if the icers continue to skate with the intensity apparent in the North Dakota series. Michigani split with the powerful Fighting Sioux from Grand Forks to seize a third place slot in the WCHA. Michigan owns a 10-6 overall record including 7-5 in the WCHA, so the Wolverines under rookie coach John Giordano have fared better than expected. The Michigan defense, led by goalie Paul Fricker (3.73) and leading scorer senior defenseman Steve Richmond (nine goals, 17 assists for 26 points) will have to shut down the Blues' offense chock full of former Canadian Olympians. ONE GOAL GIORDANO strove for in the North Dakota series was to lower the number of shots rained upon Paul Fricker. The Michigan goaltender, before the Fighting Sioux series, had been'bombar- ded with more shots on goal than any other WCHA goalie. During the North Dakota series, however, Michigan allowed only 46 shots on Fricker, a vast im-. provement. The Wolverines will have to continue their im- provement if they are to be triumphant against the visiting Canadian powerhouse from Toronto. The opening face-off will be at 7:30 p.m. tonight and tomorrow night in the chilly confines of Yost Arena. SEASON SET TO STAR T AFTER HOLIDA YS: 'M' tracksters in race By JOHN FITZPATRICK Though weakened by the loss of some of last year's outdoor Big Ten cham- pionship squad through graduation, the Michigan tracksters are hoping to be in the thick of the battle for the Big Ten title this winter season. Spearheading the Wolverine attack indoors will be a fine distance running corps, composed of the same runners who won the Big Ten championship and placed seventh in the NCAA meet this past cross-country season. "Our distance runners will be our strongest group; you can see that from their finish in the NCAA meet," said Coach Jack Harvey. Dan Heikkinen, second American in the NCAA meet, will be leading the way for the thinclads in the distance events, coming off of a ninth place finish (second American) atthe NCAA's and a strong outdoor, season which culminated with a strong appearance at the- Olympic Trials with an 8:28 run in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. Both Heikkinen and Diemer are capable of turning in good marks from the mile to the three, mile, as is Dave Lewis, who missed qualifying as an All- american at the NCAA's by two secon- ds. Harvey characterizes the 880 and 1,000-yard runs as being weak ones for the Wolverines, as these events lack the depth that the distances enjoy. Mike Shea, Dan Beck, and Mark Poelman will be leading the way here. Bolstering the sprints for the thin- clads will be Olympian Andrew Bruce from Trinidad, who made it to the semi- finals in the 200-meter dash at the Moscow Games, registering a fine 20.94 for the distance. Bruce will probably run the 300 and 440 more than the shor- ter dashes, as Harvey believes he's more suited to the longer sprints, something which a PR of 48.4 in the in- door 440 last year seems to indicate. Darryl Gholston, a 6.2 man in the 60- yard dash, will also help the Michigan cause, along with Rodney Feaster, and possibly footballer Butch Woolfolk, whose 20.56 at the NCAA 200-meter dash last spring indicates great poten- tial. The hurdles will have two veteran for Big' performers in Shelby John door Big Ten 110-meter hun Marshall Parks: both cank to break 7.5 in the 60-yard hu The field events aboundi the long jump will see the li standout Derek Harper of P performer) and Big Tens Womenthinc lads start race in Big 7 Ten crown son and out- Ross, who qualified for the Olympic dles champ Trials this year and has a best of be expected 26'1112"; Harvey called him the "best urdles. long jumper ever to come out of the in talent, as state of Michigan."

SHERBER "No one out-practices us. . . not even the men." These were the words assistant women's track coach Mark Timmons used to describe the dedication and perseverance of the women's track team. Now in its third year of existence, the track team placed fifth in the Big Ten last year. Timmons feels the Wolverines are on the verge of moving up. "We'd like to be in the top three, but we're probably one or two dears away (fron a Big Ten championship)," reported Timmons. The women runners will make their season debut on January 10, when they meet Central Michigan and Michigan State at East Lansing. Uncertain about either of the opponents, Timmons was still cautiously optimistic. WITH ALMOST the entire roster returning from last year, the thinclads should put up quite a fight. Runners like Melanie Weaver, a 5000-meter specialist who placed second last year in the Big Ten and seventh in the nationals, and Suzanne Frederick, run- ner-up in the Big Ten half-mile, should aid the Michigan team in its quest. for victory. Timmons stressed the fact that the track team was young, an were building to achiev distinction. Recruiting strengthen the squad. J Wolverines this year are Carol Lam, a Hawaii state champion in the 1500-meter, and Martha Gray, who finished in the top ten of the state champions of New Jersey. Always hoping to aid the team next year, Tim- mons said that he and head coach Ken Simmons were already in contact with 150 high school seniors: - -Timmons warned that the main ob-, jective of the indoor track season was to prepare for the spring outdoor track. One of the most distinguished members of the track team is Debbie Williams, who finished ninth in the Olympic trials in the javelin. Unfortunately for Williams, the javelin competition is only held during spring track. , WINTER TRACK is not totally void of all track events. Last year Lori Thor- ton and Joanna Bullard both finished fourth in the Big Ten in the long jump and high jump, respectively. With Fredericks leading a group of impressive half-milers, the two mile relay team and the distance medley should have a strong showing throughout the season.. r '1'SHIRT 'PRINTING Ann Arbor's fastest!
