SPORTS The Michigan Doily Saturday, October 18, 1980 Page 7 MICHIGAN PLAYS WITHOUT 3 STARTERS Falco snip By KENT WALLEY Special to the Daily BOWLING GREEN-Bowling Green foiled a Michigan hockey team comeback last night at BGSU Ice Arena, as Peter Wilson knocked the puck past Wolverine goalie Paul Fricker three minutes into overtime, to give the Falcons a 3-2 win. The Wilson score negated a two-goal Michigan comeback, which culminated in Steve Richmond's game-tieing slap- shot with 0:38 seconds left in regulation. HURT BY THE absence of key star- ters Ken Manning, John Blum, and Jeff Mars, the Wolverines- lacked the abilityi to get the puck out of their end. It was the first time that Bowling Green has defeated Michigan in the 11 years that the two teams have played each other. In overtime the Falcons fired a series Blue icers in overtime, 3-2 of shots pressuring the Wolverines and goalie Paul Fricker. They fired eight shots while Michigan failed to clean the puck -and attempt any shots them- selves. With a capacity crowd of 3,543 highly vocal fans on the edge of their seats, Falcon rightwinger Wilson smashed in the winning goal from in front of the net. MICHIGAN'S first opportunity to tie the game in the third period occurred on a Blue power play at 11:46. The Wolverines fired slap shot after slap Overmatched in overtime FIRST PERIOD Scoring-1.

After a minute and a half of daz- zling shots and saves, the power play ended and Michigan came up empty. The Wolverines were given a second chance to tie when, with 4:06 left to play, a fight broke out on the board. Each team lost a pair of skaters to penalties as a result of the skirmish and they were playing three on three. Then Bowling Green's Brian MacLellan was penalized at 16:28 for boarding. As the clock ran down to the two minute mark the Wolverines delayed power play began. Then Rich- mond scored the tieing goal with 38 seconds left to play. THE FIRST PERIOD was dominated by the Falcons, who attempted 31 shots on goal to Michigan's 18. The first and only goal of the period came when Bowling Green defenseman Ron Megan fired a slap shot from just in front of the blue line and past Fricker for a 1-0 lead. Michigan came out more aggressivley in the second period. But despite three golden opportunities in front of the net during their first power play, the Wolverines were unable to score. THE FALCONS INCREASED their lead to 2-0 when McPhee scored his second goal of the day on a slapshot from the far right wing. The Wolverines finally got on the board at the 16:48 mark when Gordie Hampson flipped a wrist shot past Charco into the net. The assists were credited to Dennis May and Don Krussman.

'M' GRIDDERS TO FACE TEST ON GRASS: Gophers can cut it close By STAN BRADBURY Special to the Daily MINNEAPOLIS-Every Michigan fan remembers the last time the Wolverines traveled to Minnesota to play the Golden Gophers in Memorial Stadium. The year was 1977 and. the high flying Wolverines were 6-0 and ranked number one n the nation. After the game, the only zero associated with Michigan was the one on the scoreboard next to its name. The Golden Gophers shut out Michigan, 16-10, the first time since 1967 that the Wolverines had been blanked, and the only time Bo Schembechler was ever whitewashed. It was one of Michigan's greatest offenses that year: Rick Leach, Russell Davis, Harlan Huckelby, Mark Donahue, Walt Downing and Co. How could the mediocre Gophers dominate that squad so completely? It was simple. It was plain old, All-American, natural, home grown, bona fide, real living and growing green as it comes, G-R-A-S-S. Grass is the dirtiest five letter word in the, Michigan football dictionary. It is synonomous with losing. Since 1976 the Wolverines have played 11 games on grass. On the real stuff their record is a paltry 3-8. During that same time span, Michigan has played 11 away games on synthetic surfaces, and its record is a perfect 11-0. Michigan has a definite weakness playing on the natural grass surface, a big reason Schembechler is not taking today's game lightly. "This will be another tough game," said Bo. "We have to nderstand that we aren't in a position to look past anyone. I and the entire coaching staff strongly feel that Minnesota will offer us a big challenge." Offensive line coach Paul Schudel discussed the team's preparation for playing on grass. "We practice a little on the grass, but basically we work off the Tartan. The kids are much more accustomed to it." However, Schudel added, "Now I don't think grass bothers us as much as it did earlier." Grass or no grass, the Golden Gophers are capable of put- ting up a good fight. "I respect Minnesota a great deal due to the fact that in their last home game (Sept. 27), they trailed an outstanding team by just three points, 10-7, entering the fourth period," said Schembechler. "That team was USC (Southern Califor- nia), and everyone knows what a solid squad they have." The 24-7 loss to the Trojans is one of three this year for Minnesota, as they also lost road games to Ohio State, 47-0, and Purdue, 21-7. The Gophers two wins have come at home against Ohio, 38-14, and at Northwestern, 49-21. "This is a very young Minnesota team," Bo said. "They might very well be the youngest squad in the Big Ten, but they are playing with a lot of spirit and emotion. "They have also been coming on as the season has progressed, just like Michigan State," Bo added. The Gophers are led by their offensive backs Marion Bar- ber and Gary White. Barber, a senior tailback from Detroit, was all Big Ten as a sophomore but was hampered by in- juries last season, rushing for only 526 yards. White rambled for 861 yards last season from his fullback position but missed the Michigan game which the Wolverines won, 31-21. In the Minnesota game last year,- Mark Carlson rewrote the Gopher record book, attempting 51 passes (completing 27) and gaining 339 yards through the air. But Carlson has since graduated and he has been replaced by coach Joe Salem's freshman son, Tim. The younger Salem has not done a spectacular job, but Dad still is going with him despite seven interceptions and one touchdown. What won the game for the Wolverines last fall was a cranked up running game which totaled 537 yards. 194 were credited to Butch Woolfolk, who will get the starting nod today over the injury-sidelined Lawrence Ricks. Schudel said the Gophers will run a "split four look, which will be quite a different look from what Michigan has seen in recent years." Only the very knowledgeable in football know what a split- four is, and if Michigan will be able to handle the arrangement. Perhaps the split-four is just a fancy way of ,cutting the grass.

BIG TEN ADVANCE Hoosiers look to pass the Bucks By MIKE BRADLEY While Michigan and Minnesota tangle for possession of the Little Brown Jug, the. rest of the Big Ten will be swinging into their second full week of conferen- :e play, as the race for the roses becomes more heated. The Big Ten will showcase two of the nation's top quarterbacks this weekend when Indiana travels to Columbus to take on Ohio State. The Buckeyes, paced by junior standout Art Schlichter, are fresh off of a 63-0 pasting of Northwestern, while Indiana sports a 4-1 record and the conference's assing leader, senior Tim Clifford. BOTH TEAMS possess balanced at- tacks, as evidenced by the fact that OSU leads the league in total offense, followed by the Hoosiers. Indiana's Lonnie Johnson and Mike Harkrader are in the, conference's top ten rushers, and Ohio State's Calvin Murray is second. The Hoosier secondary has intercep- ted 12 passes thus far, but their rushing defense has been suspect. The Buckeyes' defensive troops have been stingy, allowing only 11.8 points a game, while ranking third in overall defense. IN CHAMPAIGN, two Big Ten un- beatens clash as Purdue faces the Illini. After slow non-league starts, both squads have recovered and find them- selves fighting for the conference crown. Total offense leader Mark Herrmann has been calling most of Purdue's plays recently, and coach Jim Young at- tributes the Boilermakers'. new-found success to that fact. Herrman's two major targets, tight end Dave Young and split end Bart Burrell are tied for sixth place nationally in receptions. Illinois can make use of the pass as well with standout passer Dave Wilson, who is second in the Big Ten in passing yardage, but their defense has been hit hard by injuries. Purdue, on the other hand, has been steady in the trenches and excellent in the secondary. MICHIGAN STATE gets somewhat of a break this week as the Spartans come home to meet Wisconsin. Although the Badgers lead the Big Ten in rushing defense, their offense has been anemic. Running Back John Williams is tenth in the league with 300 yards, and John Josten ranks eighth in passing. Spartan quarterback John Leister played quite well last week against the Wolverines, and Steve Smith continues to give MSU a rushing attack. Although the Spartan defense has been hurting of late, they should be able to put together a consistent performance this weekend against the Badgers. A shellshocked Northwestern team travels to Iowa to take on a hungry Hawkeye squad. Wildcat quarterback Mike Kerrigan leads an offense that ranks last in the conference. ALTHOUGH THE Wildcats lead the league in passing defense, they make up for it by placing last in rushing defense. Iowa QB Phil Seuss is fifth in the con- ference in passing, while tailback Jeff Brown leads the Big Ten in rushing. Although the Hawks' defense is ranked fourth in the league, inability to put points on the board is the major cause for their 1-4 record. Look for them to break out of their rut against the hapless Wildcats.
