In addition, Michigan's defense will have to avoid a collapse similar to the one which occurred in the third period of Friday night's contest at Yost Ice Arena. In a span of 45 seconds, Western Michigan blew three goals past Fricker to slice Michigan's lead from 5-1 to 5-4. Any such lapse against Minnesota may prove to be fatal to the fortunes of the Wolverines this weekend. J Offensively, assistant coach John Giordano plans to "use four lines on a permanent basis, the same as against Western Michigan." Thus far, the line of sophomore center Don Krussman, senior left wing Gordie Hampson, and junior right wing Dennis May have been the most effective for Michigan. To offset the scoring prowess of Bruno Baseotto, who left the team last week, the second line of senior center Roger Bourne, sophomore left wing Ted Speers and left wing Brad Tippett have to work that much harder. The key for Michigan, however, will rest in the quick hands and feet of goalie Fricker, the man who will be responsible for repelling the barrage of the Broten brothers. According to Min- nesota head coach Buetow, Fricker's performance in last year's Golden Gopher-Wolverine games "was the best goaltending performance I've ever seen in a college series." Michigan took both games from Min- nesota last year at Yost Arena and it will take another stellar effort from Fricker to repeat the 1979 results. Both the F-iday and Saturday night contests begin t 8:30 EST. (For more information on this year's edition of the Michigan hockey team, see the hockey sup- plement featured in today's Daily.)
