Cagers look to rewrite

By LARRY FREED
A solemn Bill Frieder hunches over
his desk to pick up the latest chart. He
grimaces as he reads the prognosis.
The coach, who lately has become the
star of the ongoing basketball saga,
"All My Wolverines," has encountered
more daily traumas than Luke Spencer
experiences in a whole year.
For instance, last week Leslie
Rockymore was written out of the
script for the remainder of the season.
Just when the Michigan family was
grieving that loss, Eric Turner, the
young, successful heartthrob of the
program was told his nose was broken.
Dr. Frieder looks at the rest of the
medical chart, shakes his head and
sighs :
" Tim McCormick (sore knee, ankle)
" Roy Tarpley (sore knee, flu)
* Robert Henderson (jammed
fingers, flu)
e Paul Jokisch and Butch Wade (flu)
But Frieder cannot go back to his of-
fice and feel sorry for himselfbecause
he has a delicate operation today
against Michigan State (10-8, 3-5).
A run-in with the Michigan family's
arch-nemisis, however, might be just
what the doctor ordered. Because after
jumping out to a fast, 11-3 start, the

Wolverines have dropped four straight
games and sunk to the bottom of the
conference standings.
THERE ALSO WILL be several in-
teresting sub-plots in today's episode.
Turner will again be matched-up
against his high school rival Sam Vin-
cent, a former teammate of Henderson.
The 6-2 Lansing native leads the
Spartans in scoring (16.4 ppg) and
steals (24). But his defense will be

tested against a hot Turner, who after a
torrid scoring week moved to third
place in the Big Ten with 20 points per
outing. In the prior two meetings bet-
ween these sophomore standouts, the
Flint guard averaged only eight.
The Wolverines cannot focus
primarily on Vincent, though, as the
Spartans have a surprise performer in
freshman guard Scott Skiles. The 6-2
playmaker leads the league in assists
(42), while averaging 10.0 points per

conference game.

MSU

Willis, he will need to depend on the
height advantage of 6-9 Henderson and
6-6 Richard Rellford. In addition, Wade
and Tarpley will see action.
With all these intricate plots it is no
surprise that a sell-out crowd of 13,609
viewers is expected to tune in at CrisleA4
Arena today at 4:05. But some of the
players still do not know the full script.
"Michigan, Michigan State," said
Boston freshman Wade. "I guess it's a
big rivalry. I'll find out soon enough."
Stay tuned.

buzzer sounded. "I think we played
well," said Giordano. "We weren't
outmanned. Overall it was a good ef-
fort. I think the defense played well.'"
THE WILDCATS came out fighting in
the first period with their first goal
coming barely seven minutes into the
game. Freshman Leroy Rempel picked
up the puck at the blue line and dribbled
it past Michigan goalie Mark Chiamp.
The Wolverines struck back a little
more than two minutes later, at 9:15,
when sophomore defenseman Mike
Neff rifled the puck past Northern
Michigan netminder Jeff Poeschl.
NMU, however, skated off at the end
of the period with the lead, garnering
another goal at 17:55. Sophomore
Morey Gare tallied his third goal of the
year, picking the puck out of a pileup in
front of the Michigan goal and bouncing

it past Chiamp. That made the score 2-
1.
NORTHERN SIMPLY took com-
mand in the second period. Freshman
Al Chancellor poked the puck into the
Wolverine net with just 3:43 gone. The
Wildcats gathered more momentum
when Bob Curtis was called off the ice
at 5:08 for tripping. Michigan had
trouble getting off even one shot during
the power play.
NMU boosted the score to 4-1 at 18:47
when seniior right wing Bruce Martin
took the puck at the right face-off circle
and blasted the rubber disk past
Chiamp. The goal was only the third of
the season for the young Castlegar,
British Columbia native.
The Wolverines closed the gap to 4-2
at 6:12 when Brad Tippett placed the
puck into the Wildcat goal. Both

Michigan and NMU were playing one
man short at the time with the
Wovlerines Kelly McCrimmon and the4
Wildcats Charlie Bundeen off for
roughing. Tippett took a pass from Neff
right in front of Poeschl and slipped it in
for the score.
BUT IT WASN'T enough. Again, with
both teams playing a man short,
sophomore defenseman Greg Egan
took a pass from Chancellor and blazed
it past Chiamp. That made it 5-2.
Michigan tried to make the score look
respectable when, with only 28 seconds
to go, Jim McCauley took a Ted Speers
pass and drilled it past Poeschl for the
final score of the game.
The loss dropped the Wolverines to an
11-18 record overall, 8-17 in the Central
Collegiate Hockey Association. It was
their fifth loss in a row.

Blue grap

By DAVID MALLEN
The Michigan wrestling squad swept
five out of the first six matches last
night in Crisler Arena en route to a
solid, 20-15, win over Big Ten foe Min-
nesota.
Ed Giese led off for Minnesota, which
has beaten the Wolverines the past five
years, and simply wore down Jamie
McNaughton. Giese finally pinned the
young freshman at 5:46 of the third
period.
FROM THEN on, it was all Michigan.
Mike DerGarabedian got the
Wolverines going with a closely con-
tested, 3-2, decision. The winning point
was awarded on the basis of "riding

pers groun
time," which is time in control.
Greg Wright followed suit at 134
pounds with a hard-fought, 10-8, win
despite being on crutches most of the
week with a sprained ankle.
He almost let his 9-4 slip away in the
final period, and Michigan head coach
Dale Bahr commented that con-
ditioning hurt Wright toward the end of
the match.
In the 142-pound weight class, Mark
Pearson gave Michigan a lead which it
never relinquished with an 18-4
shellacking of Bob Sarvey. The fifth-
year senior had his opponent shaking
his head and looking at the clock
throughout the match, whose outcome
was never in doubt.

d Gophers
BILL GOODILL followed with a 10-1
superior decision, which was aided by
three stalling points called against the
Gophers' Tom Zeaman.
Then, the highlight of the meet came
in the 158-pound class as Michigan's
Tim Fagan handed Darrell Gholar his
seventh loss against 20 wins. Fagan
raised his own mark to 17-7 overall and
6-1 in the Big Ten.
Fagan overcame his opponents'
bulldog strength with quickness and
superior stamina. "When I grabbed his
arms," Fagan said, "it felt like I was
grabbing his legs. But I was able to
nullify his strength after the first
period."
AT THIS POINT, Michigan held a
commanding, 18-6, advantage.
However, the Gophers fought back to
make it close.
Scott Trudeau overcame a 6-3 deficit
and escaped with a narrow 7-6 victory
over Michigan's Scott Rechsteiner, a
result which Bahr considered a minor
disappointment.
