he only people last night who fared
worse than the last place Wolverine
icers were the game's referees who
were repeatedly required to throw
themselves amidst battling players in
SMichigan's 5-4 loss to a brutal Ohio
State.
"With Ohio State's Bruce Tillotson in
the penalty box for playing with a
broken stick, Michigan's Ted Speers
scored the game's first goal at 1:50,
only eight seconds into the Michigan
{power play. Speers snuck in from
'behind the net and jammed the puck in-
to the right side of the goal past Ohio
goalie John Dougan. Speers' goal,
assisted by Chris Seychel and Pat Goff,
represented the sole score of the first
period.
WHATEVER Ohio State head coach
Jerry Welsh said in the locker room at
the period break must have done the
trick, though, because at the outset of
the second period Ohio State came out
and put its first goal of the game into the
net. Buckeye Andy Browne tipped the
puck into the left side of the goal from
the edge of the crease.

r
downs icers,
The Wolverines retaliated though and
scored a second goal at 7:50.
Michigan's Brad Tippett dug the puck
out of the right corner and completed a
cross-ice pass to left-winger Chris
Seychel. Seychel's wrist shot beat out
Dougan on his left side.
Michigan went on to score again as.
Todd Carlile made a head-man pass to
Seychel who rifled a slap shot from the
edge of the left face-off circle past the
short side of goalie Dougan.
BUCKEYE Jamie Macoun brought in
Ohio State's next goal upping the score
to 3-2 in favor of Michigan at the end of
the second period.
Ohio State charged into the third
period by making back-to-back goals.
The first Buckeye score came from Bob
Gruhl while teammate Browne scored
an additional goal only ten seconds'
later.
Michigan's Bill Brauer quickly
proceeded to net another Wolverine
goal though at 2:09, bringing the game
to a 4-4 tie.
THE BUCKEYES went ahead,
though, at 13:17 as a result of a Bob
Napierala goal which sailed high over
Elliott's shoulder to catch the top of the
net.
Michigan head coach John Giordano
made a last ditch effort to tie the game
by pulling the goalie Elliott with 55
seconds left in the game, giving the
Wolverines six players trying to net a
goal. The effort failed though and
5-4
Michigan went down in defeat with a
final score of 5-4.
"Every time there's a mistake on
defense the puck goes into the net,"
said Giordano. "You can only jiggle it
so much and you still end up with
freshmen and sophomores on defense.
We're still looking for the formula."

FOOTBALL STRIKE DELAYED PLANS:
Needham tries to break into NFL
By PAUL RESNICK
Former Michigan football player Ben
Needham had his future well planned
before the NFL football strike began.
The long strike, however, and the
recent settlement, have left him uncer-
tain.
After the Cincinnati Bengals drafted
Needham last spring, he was cut in the
final round of pre-season roster trim-
ming. That didn't bother him too much
because the Bengals were coming off
an appearance in the Super Bowl.
"They were pretty satisfied with what
they had," Needham said. In fact, the
Bengals only kept four new players on
their squad this season, according to
Needham.
CHANCES were, he thought at the
beginning of the season, and before the
strike, that someone on the Bengals
would get injured in one of the first few
games, thus leaving a spot for him on
their roster. Another possibility was
that a less successful team would sign
him; a team that didn't have as much
.returning talent from the previous year
as the Bengals did.
If his hopes in that direction hadn't
materialized, he knew exactly what
was ahead for him-the United States
Women h
fJIM DAVIS
Two sophomores led the charge as
scoring wiz Peg Harte poured in 34
points and Connie Doutt notched nine
assists, enabling the Wolverines to
,defeat Australia's Melbourne Saints
103-56 in an exhibition game at Crisler
Arena last night.
Michigan got off to a quick 10-2 lead
"and never looked back. Coach Gloria
Soluk utilized her entire twelve-
member roster and substituted fresh
Football League (USFL). Needham
said that if he hadn't signed with an
NFL team after five or six weeks, he
would have signed with the new league
right off.
Only two weeks into the season,
however, the NFL strike began, forcing
Needham to re-evaluate his plans.
The prestige of the league and his
childhood dream of playing in the NFL
prompted him to say, "I don't want to
join the new league without giving the
NFL a chance. Even if it was just for a
year or so, it would be something to
hold on to."
BECAUSE there hasn't been much of
a season this year, there has been no
reason for teams to make roster moves,
so Needham felt he hadn't given the
NFL a real chance. He waited for the
strike to end.
Fifty-seven days of waiting while the
players' union and the owners
negotiated had just about convinced
Needham that his NFL dream would
not come true. "I started talking to
USFL teams," he said, "and getting
serious about a contract."
One possibility that Needham thought
about was joining the NFL players if
they formed their own league. But he
oopsters bury
troops frequently, allowing the
Wolverines' freshmen togain some
game-experience, while fine-tuning
her starters for the season opener next
weekend.
"I WAS disappointed in the quality of
the competition," said Soluk. She poin-
ted out that the Melbourne team was
not the caliber of competition she had
expected.
"It was a good tightener-up for the
season," she said. "I was pleased with
the way they (Wolverines) worked
had his doubts about ,its formation,
citing practical problems such as the
costs of starting a new league and the
problem of finding stadiums to play in,
since the current owners would be
unlikely to allow the players to use the
stadiums now in use.
Si

... aspires to position in NFL
A ussies
hard." She also emphasized that this
team "is much quicker than last
year's."
Michigan's starting five; juniors.
Terri Soullier and Lori Gnatkowski,
sophomores Harte and Doutt, and
freshman pivot Sandy Svoboda, led the
Wolverines to a 63-27 halftime lead.
The Wolverines' bench played the
majority of the second half as the star-
ters watched from the sideline.
SOLUK was glad to see Gnatkowski
play well after having been injured.
She rested the tri-captain most of the
game, allowing the other point guards
some playing time. Despite only
playing a total of 17 minutes in the
game, she managed to score four points
and collect six assists.
Harte shot a torrid 65% from the field
as she sparked Michigan's improved
zone offense. Soluk, however, was not
entirely pleased with the execution, but
added that that was in part due to the
level of the competition.
Soluk was also pleased with the play
of Svoboda, who scored eight points,
grabbed nine rebounds, and blocked
four shots. Soullier added 14 points and
seven steals.
Sophomore Diana Wiley was im-
pressive as she notched 16 points in only
15 minutes of playing time. Freshman
Orethia Lilly added ten points to the
Wolverine effort.
The Wolverines open the season next
Saturday at Aquinas College in the
Grand Rapids Press Tourney. The first
home game will be against Cleveland
State on December 8. Notre Dame will
follow four days later.
"SURPRISE," said Needham, as a
resolution of the strike once again
threw his plans askew. It now looks as
though the NFL season will resume
tomorrow, thus reviving Needham's
hopes that one of the teams will pick
him up in the next few weeks.
For now, he plans to continue
negotiating with USFL. teams but
doesn't plan to sign for at least a week
in order to see how the NFL situation
develops. "Sitting around not knowing
is driving me crazy," he added.
Needham didn't think the popularity
of football was at risk during the strike.
He used the baseball strike of two
summers ago as an analogy, saying, "I
still went to see the Tigers play (after
the strike). People like to watch foot-
ball. If it were on now, people would
watch it." He did concede that there
could be a temporary backlash. "There
might be a lot of booing in stadiums this
week," he said. Needham feels, though,
that any disenchantment would be
short-lived.
The long, unexpected layoff has given
Needham time not only to maintain his
physical condition but also to think over
the transition from college football to
the pros. "It's a whole new world," he
said. "You go from being a starter to
just another rookie."
The time off has also allowed him to
warmly remember his days playing
football for Bo Schembechler.
Needham, who has followed the
Wolverines closely this year, said, "I
love going back and watching. I'd love
to be back there playing but they only
let you play for four years."
