SPORTS Saturday, October 30, 1982. P Slumping Gophers to take on M' gridders "The dome is good, night football is good, but un- fortunately we haven't won many games," said Salem, in his fourth year at Minnesota. The Gophers waltzed to three straight victories to open the season but then got hammered by Illinois, 42-24, followed that up with a shocking 31-21 loss to Northwestern, and things have gone downhill since. "WE WENT into. the Illinois game, and in the four- th quarter they simply demolished us," explained Salem. "We haven't been a plugged nickel since." In their defense, the Gophers have been hit by an incredible spate of injuries, which has seen them lose 13 starters at one point or another this season. The most recent casualty was all-league defensive end Fred Orgas, who separated his shoulder in last week's 21-16 loss to Iowa and is out for the year. "I don't know how to explain it (the injury situation)," said ,Salem. "I've never experienced anything like this anywhere." THE INJURIES have forced Salem to go with an* all-freshman running back tandem of tailback Valdez Baylor and fullback Demetrious Chism. The Gophers' leading rusher is senior fullback Bob Stroup with 232 yards, but he has lost his starting position to Chism. Whatever Minnesota gains on the ground though, will merely be complementary to the passing of Hohensee who has completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,869 yards, 10 touchdowns and a league- high 11 interceptions. "We're going to throw the football," said the Gopher head man. "We're going into the game with the idea of throwing 30 or 40 times." Wolverine head codch Bo Schembechler was a little miore liberal in his estimation of the Minnesota aerial intentions. "We saw (71) passes last week and we'll see another 50 this week," said Schembechler. HOHENSEE'S two favorite targets are sophomore flanker Dwayne McMullen and senior tight end Mike Curtis, who have caught 32 and 25 passes respec- tively. However, as potent as the Gopher offense ap- pears, it is the defense that ranks at the top of the league in both passing and total defense. And that is what has Schembechler worried. "Minnesota comes in with a totally different con- cept of defense-like nothing we've met," said Bo. "They're playing that split-four, with eight men on the line. "They're the best pressure team we've faced and we've beaten them with (quarterback Steve) Smith to Carter or (former quarterback John) Wangler to Carter." INDEED, IT appears that Michigan is priming All- American flanker Carter for a big game, which is easy to understand in light of the fact that Carter has caught 17 passes for 296 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games against the Gophers. "Right now, Anthony is in the best shape he's been in all year," said Schembechler. "In the last four games, I think he'll explode." With Carter apparently fully recovered from rib and groin injuries that have plagued him most of the season, the Wolverines, winners of four in a row (5-2 overall, 5-0 Big Ten), will be almost completely healthy for today's game. Cornerback John Lott is apparently recovered from a broken arm and is listed as a starter. Fullback Jerald Ingram, who has been out all year with a knee injury, was back in practice this week, as was defensive tackle Kevin Brooks, also apparently recovered from a knee injury. Both could see some action today. This afternoon's game also marks the annual battle for the Little Brown Jug, which the Wolverines have held since avenging 1977's 16-0 loss to Minnesota, the last time Michigan was shut out. The Wolverines won last year, 34-13, lead the series 47-22-3, and are listed as 21-point favorites. THE LINEUPS MICHIGAN MINNESOTA OFFENSE (88) Craig Dunaway ..........

"Our defense played well considering that we had four freshmen back there tonight. They received a McCauley baptism." THE FALCONS, behind a fierce offensive attack, took a 2-1 lead over the Wolverines in the first period, notching two goals within two minutes of each other. The Falcons dominated the game in the first period with the first 10 minutes of the game played almost entirely on the Wolverine end of the ice. The first Falcon goal came at the 4:53 mark when senior center Kim Collins took a pass from teammate Dave Ellett at the Wolverine blue line and skated it in for the score. The Falcons came right back and put their second goal of the night on the board at the 5:52 mark. Freshman Gino Cavallini scored the first goal of his college career when he picked up the puck at the Bowling Green blue line and took it all the way in for the score, poking it past Wolverine goalie Mark Chiamp, who gave up all nine Falcon goals of the evening. THE WOLVERINES came to life briefly at the 17:44 mark when junior Jim McCauley took a short pass from Chris Seychel and backhanded it into the Bowling Green net. The Falcons, however, took complete command of the game in the second period, garnering five more goals to take a 7-1 lead. Bowling Green's first goal of the period came at 2:59 with sophomore Garry Galley scoring a power play goal while the Wolverines had two men off the ice. Bowling Green's fourth goal came at 8:01. Junior Kim Hack picked up a Galley pass and poked the puck into the corner of the Wolverine net for his third goal of the year. GALLEY CHALKED up his second and Bowling Green's fifth goal of the evening at 15:28. Galley took a pass from teammate Wayne Wilson and wound up and fired a shot from the inside edge of the right Michigan face-off circle into the goal. Wilson had his turn at the 18:18 mark when he put goal number six on the board for the Falcons. The junior defen- seman, taking a pass from teammate Jamie Wansbourgh at the blue line and fired the puck past Chiamp. With the young Michigan defense reeling from the Falcon scoring attack, Brian Hills, the CCHA's leading scorer, tallied his sixth goal of the season with 23 seconds to go in the period giving the Falcons a commanding 7-1 lead.9 Total destruction FIRST PERIOD Scoring: 1.

BG-Hack (Galley) 8:01; 5. BG-Galley By PAUL HELGREN Passing continues to be in style in the Big Ten as most.teams look more and more to their quarterbacks to be an offensive spark. While a few teams have effectively used passing to win games (namely Illinois), others have been passing in an effort to quickly make up ground on the scoreboard or because they lack anything that resem- bles a running game. Of the five quarter- backs who passed for at least 300 yards last week, only Illinois' Tony Eason and Pur- due's Scott Campbell led their teams to vic- tory. In the most crucial game of the day, Illinois (5-1, 6-2 overall) travels to Iowa City to take on the Hawkeyes (3-1, 4-3) in a regionally televised match-up. Illinois comes off of last week's dramatic 29-28 vic- tory over Wisconsin in which Eason passed for a career-high 479 yards. But Mike Bass was the real hero as he kicked a Big Ten tying five field goals, including the game- winner with three seconds to play. Eason who has averaged almost 320 passing yards per game (best in the Big Ten), is certain to test Iowa's suspect pass defense which is seventh in the Big Ten allowing 262 yards per game. Iowa's defensive strength, stopping the run, will do them little good against the pass-happy Illini. Iowa does have a potent running attack, however, and is led by Ed- die Phillips who ran for 198 yards in last week's 21-16 Hawkeye win against Min- nesota. IN LAST YEAR'S Purdue-Ohio State game, Scott Campbell threw for 516 yards, but Purdue still lost, 45-33. Campbell is still throwing and Purdue is still losing (2-3 Big Ten, 2-5 overall). Purdue does have a fine runner in Big Ten leader Mel Gray, but is ninth in the Big Ten in defense. Ohio State (3-1, 4-3) on the other hand, is second in defense and has allowed only 15.5 points in Big Ten action. Purdue is coming off a win, but that came against Michigan State and it was a struggle at that (24-21). Speaking of struggles, the Spartans (0 for'82) will try once again to win one for Muddy "Troubled" Waters as they travel to Indiana to take on the Hoosiers (2-3, 3-4). Poor Muddy. Even his wife is being asked if he'll quit at the end of the year. Indiana, led by quarterback Babe Laufenberg, has a good chance to beat State for the first time since 1969. Laufenberg has been hobbling on a bad ankle the last few weeks, but his arm is fine and that's all that matters. Northwestern quarterback Sandy Schwab broke or tied six NCAA passing records last week and has a chance to break two more this week against Wisconson. Schwab needs 28 completions to break the record for freshmen (103 by Tulsa's Bill Anderson in 1965), and 282 yards total offense for the NCAA freshmen record held by Purdue's Mark Herrmann. Wisconsin, which lost a hear- tbreaker to Illinois last week, will be going without leading rusher Chucky Davis, who was suspended for the week not going to class. illini take Rose Bowl hopes to Iowa Eason .,. leads potent Illini offense 'M'spkers fall prey to big EMU come back By DANIEL COVEN Riding a six-game losing streak, the young Michigan volleyball team saw last night's game as a chance for a tur- naround; it almost was. Despite winning the first two games, 15-6 and 15-12, the Wolverines were unable to halt an Eastern Michigan comeback, and dropped the next three games, 15-10, 15-12, 15-9. MICHIGAN Coach Sandy Vong felt that his squad eased up after winning the first two games. He noted the Hurons growing confidence as the mat- ch progressed. "Tonight we played like they didn't want to lose. Eastern has seniors who haven't beaten us in four years. They were really up for us tonight." Vong also cited poor service receiving and inconsistent blocking. Excellent serving by juniors Carla Dearling and Alison Noble kept Michigan in the match until the end. Behind 12-9 in the final game, the spikers kept the Hurons from scoring for almost five minutes. It was then that three long volleys, in spite of sj tacular efforts by sophomore Su Holloway and junior Jeanne Weck saw EMU score the final three point, In' September, Michigan beat Hurons, 3-0 in Ypsilanti. Wolverines will visit the Hurons' c ference mate-Bowling Green- Tuesday. Pistons claw Hawks, 94-86, to win season opening game lqN*Mllllll* By JESSE BARKIN Special to the Daily PONTIAC - Someone forgot to tell, the Detroit Pistons and the Atlanta Hawks that the pre-season was the time to get the kinks out. Both teams played sloppily early on, but when it came down to "winning time," it was the Pistons that rose to the occasion with a 94- 86 season-opening win. "WE GOT OFF to a slow start," said Pistons' forward Kent Benson. "But we were tight and nervous and ready to play. It just took us time to relax." Early on, Atlanta rookie Dominique Wilkins slam-dunked his way into the hearts of the opening-game record 15,252 fans that packed the Silverdome. In the opening half, Wilkins poured in 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. However, Kelly Tripucka and the Pistons held the Georgia sensation to six points and two rebounds the rest of the way. The game was close throughout, and the Hawks looked as if they were going to break bed the rebound and was fouled by Wilkins. Laimbeer's two free throws gave the Pistons a five-point bulge. Top-ranked Hawkeyes lose The Old Dominion field hockey team didn't just try harder. The number two-ranked Monarchs out-shot, out-hustled, and ultimately out-scored their top-ranked op- ponents from Iowa, 4-0, in the Nike-Wolverine Field Hockey Classic last night at the Michigan Fieldhouse. Old Dominion, now 11-1, exploded from the outset of the contest and got on the board when sophomore Eveline Veraart ripped a penalty stroke past Iowa goalie, Donna Lee. Veraart then put the Monarchs up by two on a' finely executed corner shot set up by Eveline LePoole. IOWA, MEANWHILE, was unable to' establish an attack of its own. Time and time again, the Hawkeye players were met by a swarm of Monarchs whenever they touched the ball. Old Dominion opened and closed the second k A III SCORE BIG WITH THE U-M EXECUTIVE WASTE- BASKET-BALL Bankboard clips and all waste- baskets.
