State Street For fast pick-up orders call: 663-4636 By KENT WALLEY It's just another rivalry. Merely the matchup that fills Yost Ice Arena with spectators, the series that saw each team win at home and lose away last year-it's only Michigan vs. Michigan State. But if anyone is interested, it begins tonight, as the Wolverines are in East Lansing for the first game of the set before they return to the friendly con- fines of Yost tomorrow night. Both squads are coming off a double loss last weekend, and both feel pressure to win these important, early conference games. "In league play, it (the series) is very, very important for both of us," said Spartan coach Ron Mason. Michigan suffered defeats at the han- ds of an explosive Minnesota outfit, losing, 9-4, on Friday night and 5-2 in Saturday's contest. Despite the losses, John Giordano, acting coach in the ab- sence of the ill Wilf Martin, was pleased with the icers' play. "Saturday, we did a good job," he said. "We hit people. We played hard.

Three weeks into the campaign, the Wolverines' top scoring line remains the Don Krussman, Gordie Hampson and Dennis May crew. Together they have totalled nine goals and 24 points. The team's leading scorer is still Steve Richmond, with four goals and eight assists. One of Michigan State's areas of con- cern this year is the goalie position. The Spartans lost their top two 1979-80 goalies-Doug Belland (who left school) and Mark Mazzoleni (who graduated). Thus, the MSU net-minding duties have been thrust upon a freshman, Ron Scott. Scott has collected 115 saves in four games for a 4.5 goals against average thus far. But the Spartans are not totally bereft of returning talent. Senior Leo Lynette scored 13 goals in 16 games in the second half of last season after missing the first half because of bad grades. Lynett specializes in the art of puck- handling. "I like controlling the puck and then setting up the play. I also think SCORES NBA Washington 116, Dallas 95 NHL New York Islanders 4, Boston 2 I can get the puck in the net," said Lynett. He is off to a good start this season with six points, which is second for the Spartans only to linemate Mark Hamway. Hamway, nicknamed "The Hammer," scored 42 assists and 27 goals last season. The Spartans will be hoping to im- prove their power play. Last weekend they did not score at all in 15 power play opportunities. "It was effective against Northern in the first series, but you go through dry spells," Mason explained. "Last weekend, the opportunities were there; we just didn't cash in." The Wolverines, on the other hand, have converted on 12 power play goals in 37 opportunities thus far in the current campaign. Richmond ... top-scoring icer I E Six grapplers head west for mat tourney I _ 1980 Beer Brewed by Miller Brewing Co.. Milwaukee, Wis. The Bettmann Archive 4,,< By CHUCK JAFFE A different style of wrestling and the best grapplers in America. That is what six Michigan grapplers face when. they compete today and tomorrow in the Great Plains Wrestling Tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Michigan contingent of Eric Klasson, Mark Pearson, Jim Mathias, Rob Rechsteiner, Mike DerGarabedian, and graduate-assistant Steve Fraser is vying for the opportunity to go to Tblisi, Russia and compete with the best wrestlers in the world. The Great Plains Tournament features freestyle wrestling, which is radically different from the regular intercollegiate style. In freestyle, the contestants maneuver primarily while standing, as opposed to down on the mats. This poses the problem of adjustment for the Wolverines. "You have to do a lot of training on your feet," Pearson, Michigan's 145-pounder said, "which means that it takes some time to adjust." ASSISTANT COACH Joe Wells, who will accompany the group on the trip, outlined the reasons for sending the six wrestlers. "We see it as an early season warm-up. Our interest is to expose them to as much freestyle as possible." As for the chances of individual Michigan matmen qualifying for world com- petition, Wells was less enthusiastic. "The only person I anticipate doing really well is Steve, who has a lot of experience in freestyle. Eric has also done well and iSI capable of doing well in this tournament." Wells added that, while, the other wrestlers' chances are slim, heexpects fine performances. "I'm going out with the intention of winning it," said heavyweight Klasson, "but I think that the competition is going to be really tough. I think I can place in the top three, if I'm lucky." THE MICHIGAN wrestlers are confident that they can prove to the rest of the nation just how talented they are. Fraser, who placed second in the Great Plains Tournament last year, per. sonified the attitude of those going to Nebraska. "I'm just going to do my best," he said. "Every year it's tough." f V 1 Now comes Miller time. AWK " * I' U Ll m
