SPORTS. The Michigan Daily Saturday, December 6, 1980 Page 7 Sioux attack, scalp Michigan icers, 5-1 BY MARTHA CRALL In a hockey game which closely resembled a dogfight, last night at Yost Arena, the North Dakota Sioux out- muscled the Wolverines, 5-1 before a crowd of 3,817. The penalty box was occupied for most of the evening by one or both teams. Michigan collected 13 penalties for 26 minutes, while North Dakota was whistled 16 times for 32 minutes. The third period featured two goals by North Dakota, who is undefeated on the road, their fourth and fifth. The first came at :40, when senior defenseman Marc Chorney found an opening in front of the net. Freshman center Troy Murray and Glen White assisted on the power play score. Their second score of the period came at 18:10 when left winger Dean Dachyshyn tore down the ice and fired an unassisted goal past Michigan goalie Paul Fricker. Michigan scored its only goal in the third period at 6:18. After passes from Steve Richmond and Ted Speers, Roger Bourne found a hole between the legs of the Sioux defensemen and sent the puck by sophomore goalie Darren Jensen. "We didn't play that bad and lost, 5- 1," said Michigan coach John Giordano after the game. "I can't understand it." "But North Dakota has been the best team in the country the last two-and-a- half weeks. "We had plenty of opportunities (to score)," Giordano continued. "The defense played pretty good." The frustrations surfaced at 7:16 in the third stanza when Wolverine Dennis May caught Sioux right winger Cary Eades from behind, to land himself-a double-roughing penalty. Eades, in turn, contended that he had been touched by a Michigan player on the bench, and answered by taking into the Wolverine bench with his stick, earning him a spot in the penalty box, as well. "I was pleased with the last part of the game," said North Dakota coach John (Gino) Gasparini. "It was center- ice hockey for the first half of the game." Neither team displayed a par- ticularly impressive power play, with Michigan capitalizing on one of nine opportunities, and North Dakota scoring on one of six power play tries. The only score of the first period came at 13:47 when both teams were down a man. May was whistled for cross checking and North Dakota's Frank Burggraf sat the penalty box for high sticking. A Sioux left winger Bill Sykes took a pass from Cary Eades in the slot and lifted the puck over Fricker's left shoulder.- Having been caught and going the wrong way, all Fricker could do was watch the puck sail into the unguarded right corner of the net.' The second period started much the same way with hard hitting and little scoring throughout most of its duration. The Sioux scored two goals however, in a span of 13 seconds. The first was a clean rifled shot, by defenseman Mike Stone at 17:17. Stone took a pass from right winger Glen White and stood about fifteen feet beyond the right point where he fired a bullet clean through Fricker's legs. North Dakota took the ensuing face- off down and met a sleeping Michigan ; defense. Sykes, assisted by Eades and center Dusty Carroll, stood in front of the net and slid one by Fricker only 13( Out-S FIRST PERIOD Scoring: 1. UND-Sykes (Eades) 13:47.

LEWIS Which is it, now? Which is the real Michigan basketball team - the one which barely avoided an embarrassing season-opening loss, to Eastern Michigan on its home court, or the one which thoroughly dominated Kansas on the road to the tune of 64-52? By late this afternoon, Wolverine fans should know with more certainty just how good their team will be in-1980-81. At 2:05 p.m. today, Michigan tackles its toughest non-conference foe of the season, the Arkansas Razorbacks, who are ranked 11th in the nation and carry a 3- 1 mark into Crisler Arena. IF THE MAIZE and Blue emerge victorious from today's contest, one is likely to conclude that coach Bill Frieder's club is, indeed, very good - better than most prognosticators gave it credit for during the pre-season polling. But if the Wolverines fall to the Razorbacks, they'll join some pretty fair company. Last weekend at the Great Alaskan Shootout in An- chorage, Arkansas (which entered the six- team tournament ranked 20th) knocked off Missouri, then number 11, and highly regarded LSU before dropping a 64-58 decision to North Carolina in the finals. It's quite apparent that Arkansas is a premier team, one which Frieder says would play on near-even terms with the best in the Big Ten. A win today would put the Wolverines at 3- 0 and probably catapult them into the Top Twenty. BUT A WIN won't be easy to achieve - not by any means. The Razorbacks possess a variety of weapons which makes them one of the favorites to win the Southwest Conference championship. For starters, take their coach. Calling the shots from the Arkansas bench is one of college basketball's most successful mentors of the 1970's, Eddie Sutton. In the past six years Sut- ton has sent his squad to five NCAA tour- naments, and two seasons ago guided it into the Final Four. Twice (in 1977 and 1978) he was named national coach of the year. Then there is 6-10 junior center Scott Hastings, who has averaged 21.8 points in four games, and was named most valuable player in the Alaska tourney. Last weekend he connected on 78 percent of his field goals and pulled down eight rebounds per contest. A consensus all- SWC pre-season selection, Hastings led Arkan- sas in scoring last year with a 16.2 average. "WE HAVE TO do a good job on him," Frieder said. "We have to put some heat on him when he turns to shoot. He's a great scorer." Containing Hastings is only part of the problem confronting Michigan. What poses another, perhaps even more formidable challenge, is Arkansas' explosive guard tan- dem of 6-2 senior U.S. Reed (12.3 ppg) and 6-4 sophomore transfer student Darrell Walker (10.5). Both Reed and Walker shoot extremely well, penetrate the lane often and effectively, and play aggressive defense. But most worrisome from a Michigan standpoint is the fact that both are extremely quick. 'Against Kansas Wednesday, the coach em- ployed a tight zone defense which stifled the ef- forts of super-quick Jayhawk guard Darnell Valentine. A similar defensive strategy might be used today, according to Frieder, although to what extent he wouldn't say. "I HAVEN'T decided yet whether - we're. going to zone as much," he said. "I'm sure you're going to see the zone at least some of the time. "We'll be doing a lot of matchups. The main thing is to prevent their guards from penetrating and put pressure on Hastings." - The task of applying pressure on Hastings will rest largely in the hands of Paul Heuer- man, who.experienced problems at the offen- sive end of the floor against Kansas (one for five from the field). "He (heuerman) wasn't shooting well Wednesday," said Frieder. "He's got to score more for us to be good, and Tim McCormick has to come around. "On Wednesday (Mike) McGee picked up most of the scoring slack (28 points), but we've got to get more production from the center spot." WOLVERINE TALES - Today's game marks only the second time Michigan and Arkansas have played each other. Thirteen years ago, the Wolverines defeated the Razor- backs, 82-72, in Ann Arbor ... Frieder thinks Arkansas would be ranked as high as fourth if it had beaten North Carolina. The Hogs- had the Tar Heels on the run before Hastings fouled out with 11 minutes remaining. . . Marty Bodnar's sprained ankle is almost 100 per cent healed, but brother Mark will continue to start alongside Johnny Johnson in the backcourt.

The new Hawkeye look includes first- year coach Tom Dunn as well as a number of outstanding recruits. MICHIGAN COACH Newt Loken said of the Iowa team, "They will be a tough ,.opponent. They have a resurging team with some new' faces that are establishing themselves as top-notch performers. Coach Dunn recruited some excellent men last spring so we're anxious to see them in action." With last weekend off, the gymnasts have been practicing hard in preparation for this weekend's inter- conference showdown. "The atmosphere this past week has been that of mature and business-like conduct with the full intention of being ready for Sunday's match. The guys always look forward to performing in Crisler so that's an added incentive. They also want badly to post a win against their first Big Ten opponent," Loken said. LOKEN IS ALSO pleased with the fact that most of his previsouly injured performers are getting ready to return to action within the upcoming weeks. Loken said that his gymnasts are all set for this Sunday's meet. "Our per- sonnel are settling down. Their aches and pains are diminishing with each ;ensuing week. "They know how much improved the Iowa team is. They won't be letting their guard down. It will be a very ex- citing meet," he predicted. fynmasts take 2nd placed second in a triangular meet at Eastern Michigan. Kent State won the meet with 128.35 points while the Wolverines edged the hosting Hurons 124.1-5-123.95. Top per- formers for Michigan were Angela Deaver, who finished second in the all- around competition, and Cindy Shearon, who won the vaulting event, with a 9.0. THE TWO gymnasts not competing in this meet, Theresa Bertoncin and Kathy Beckwith, were participating in another meet. Nonetheless, Michigan was able to defeat EMU because of the performan- ces the performances of Deaver and Shearon and a solid team - effort, by Laurie Miesel, Diane McLean, Maren Lindstrom and Nancy Papows. Pistons lose LANDOVER, Md. (AP) --Kevin Por- ter, making his first start since Oct. 22, scored 10 of his 16 points in the last quarter and led the Washington Bullets to a 103-92 National Basketball Association victory over the Detroit Pistons last night. The veteran guard, reacquired from Detroit last season, sank eight con- secutive points to give the Bullets a 90- 79 lead with 7:31 remaining. His high for the season, 21 points, also came against Detroit. WASHINGTON, which trailed by as many as eight points in each of the first three quarters, took the lead for good on a basket by Elvin Hayes at the start of the fourth period. Hayes finished with 18 points, 13 rebounds and a season-high eight blocked shots. Greg Ballard scored 21 points, Wes Unseld had 18 and rookie Wes Matthews 16. Phil Hubbard scored 19 points to lead the Pistons and Larry Wright, a former Washington player, had 16. MacPherson appointed SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Dick MacPherson, an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League, was named head foot- ball coach at Syracuse University yesterday, university officials said. MacPherson will replace Frank Maloney., BLOOMINGTON (AP) - Preventing 7-foot-1 Sam Bowie, the heart of the of- fense for the second-rated Kentucky Wildcats, from making easy slam dunks figures to be a big problem for the fifth-ranked Indiana Hoosiers when the teams meet today. Both teams take 2-0 records into the afternoon clash at Assembly Hall. In- diana has opened its 1980-8 1 basketball season with victories over Ball State and Murray State. Kentucky opened with a victory over East Tennessee and defeated ninth-ranked Ohio State 70-64 Wednesday with Bowie's 19 points. This afternoon the Hoosiers will be sending Ray Tolbert against Bowie. But, a key to the outcome could be how successful Indiana Coach Bobby Knight and his Hoosiers are in preventing Ken- tucky's guards from getting the ball in- side to Bowie. Tolbert will be giving away four in- ches and several pounds to Bowie. The work of sophomore guard Isiah Thomas against Kentucky's Dirk Minniefield may have a lot to do with Tolbert's per- formance. The game is expected to be a physical one with Indiana possibly abandoning - use of some of its smaller, quicker players to combat Kentucky's size ad- vantage. r i 7 \ , f \ Spagheff!
