M . , w . .., .._ _ A SPORTS Page 14 -Friday, October 8, 1982 The Michigan Daily Icers exhibition ends in deadlock, 5-5 0 By CHUCK JAFFE The only, similarity between the Michigan hockey team that took the ice last night, and the one that played last year, is that the Zamboni ice-cleaning machine is still maize and blue. Other- wise it was a very offensive-minded squad that battled to a 5-5 tie in the an- nual Maize and Blue exhibition contest at Yost Ice Arena. After a defensive first period, the Maize and Blue squads opened up with the kind of scoring display that has not been seen in Ann Arbor in quite a few years. THE GAME started slowly, with the first scoring opportunity coming after 11 minutes when Blue defenseman John Hawkins almost scored against his own team. After failing to clear the puck, the Blue defense finally collapsed and. Ted Speers scored the first of his four goals at 13:51. Speers struck again just 1:11 into the second period, but two quick Blue goals by defensemen Pat Goff and Mike Neff tied the score. It stayed that way for ten minutes, until Neff dug the puck out of a pile-up and passed it to senior co- captain Brad Tippett. Paul Kobylarz then converted Tippett's pass, and the Blue squad went in front 3-2. The teams traded goals in the third period, with Speers scoring at 1:48 to tie r the game. Then four goals in just 3:20 made the score 5-4 in favor of the Blue team. Don Krussman scored first for the Blue, before Dave McIntyre finished a perfectly executed three-on- two break to bring the Maize squad back to within one. KELLY MCCRIMMON then teamed with Paul Kobylarz and freshman Paul Spring to break up a Maize clear and score against replacement goalie Alex Sosa. That left it for Speers to finish the scoring, just 16 seconds after McCrim- mon's goal. After winning the face-off, Speers teamed with freshman Chris Seychel and Billy Reid to score a breakaway goal over a sprawling Mark Chiamp. The offensive showing. pleased Michigan coach John Giordano, but he felt that the defense needed more work to be competitive. "We have a sign in the locker room that says 4-2," Giordano said. "We feel that if we score 4 goals a game that we can win a lot of games. We,were cer- tainly capable of scoring tonight. "On the other hand," he continued, "every aspect of our defensive play needs to be improved. I can't tell you how many times our defense put the puck on the other team's stick when we were trying to clear. If you do that against Michigan State or Bowling Green, they're going to score. Overall, I was happy, because we were better on offense, and we will improve on defen- se." 40 FOOTBALL 1982 Hear every exciting play with JOHN KOEHN & BILL DUFEK at the microphones versus MICHIGAN STATE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9 1 12:45 p.m. 1.050 on your am dial --Mihiansfootball station since 194S Daily Photo by BRIAN MASCK Michigan goalie Mark Chiamp reaches to make a glove save in last night's intra-squad contest.

When King mentioned Alaska, someone in the audience hoped out loud that if the fight is there, it is outdoors. Houston and Las Vegas appeared to be the leading contenders. Benitez, a 25-year-old Puerto Rican, is one of six men to hold titles in thre4 weight classes, was set to challenge Hearns, 24, of Detroit for the World Boxing Association welterweight title for promoter Harold Smith in February, 1981.
