After a long week of studying and review sessions, the Michigan hockey s team, as well as mentor John Giordano, face their biggest exam of the year this weekend in the form of the tenth-ranked Wildcats of the University of New k Hampshire. 5 "THIS IS an excellent challenge," So said Giordano, "to play a good team at home and see if we can beat them.

Charlie Holt, in his 15th year at the helm of New Hampshire hockey, has compiled a 306-103-13 record, (including a 22-11-2 1982-83 campaign) - a .652 winning percen- tage. "HOLT IS one of the most innovative coaches in college hockey today," Giordano said. Giordano and Holt worked together this summer at the Lake Placid regional camp and ap- parently the two shared some tricks of the trade. "He's going to use our power play, and we're going to do his penalty, killing. The forechecking may be the same," said Michigan's fourth year coach. Some slight injuries may hamper the Wolverine's performance, however. Forward Chris Seychel was "bumped around a bit" and, Paul Kobylarz's shoulder is still a question mark after a preseason shoulder sepaeratioR. But the biggest concern for tonight is the goalteading. Junior Mara CMmip; the dominant goalie so far s yr, hasa slight hamstring pull. "If he's ready to play, he'll p' bblV start out Friday night," said Giordano. "But I'm not so sure about Saturday.": SHOULD CHIAMP run into problenS with the injury, fellow junior Jon Elliot will step in front of the net. According to Giordano, Elliot has been playing well in practice and may very well be the starter on Saturday night. The main objective for the two-game series is, as it has been all season long, improvement for a young and still un- proven XVverine team, "This W4* big series ma respects for us;"sld Giordano. NThe lham has improved and we are still in a building procd. . want ast~~aA to establtsh atne.mon etxW k to week." New Hampshire, characterized by' Giordano as more of an offensive team, is led by returning forward Dan Potter, who scored 49 points last season.{ [ I NTROOUCI NG THE NUVISION COLLEGE SPECIAL. 1 Since 1947, Loken compiled a 250-70-1 record while establishing Michigan as a ajar power in Big Ten gymnastics. der Loken, Darden was a star gym- nast,;; and graduated with a business degree in 1976. "WHAT I would like to do," said Dar- den, "is continue building on the program that Newt established, from top-notch recruiting to academic and athletic excellence. Sometimes Newt stops by and gives a few pointers; I always appreciate an extra set of critical eyes." :Now at the helm, Darden faces the ifficult task of replacing seven "super seniors" from last year's nine- man tearq 'contingent. While this year's teanrlacks experience, youth and depth will be its strong suit. Eleven of the team's 15 members are under- SPORTS OF THE DAILY: regulars from last year's team are sophomore all-arounders Gavin Meyerowitz and Rich Landman as well as senior Steve Scheinman. According to Darden, last year's fifth place finish in the Big Ten was not in- dicative of the Wolverines' talent. "We were really riddled by injuries last year," said Darden. "This year we are all healthy and Gavin has recovered." To replace some of the departed seniors, Michigan landed three prize recruits from the talent-laden Chicago area and one from Florida. "We'll have to tap on their talent right away," Dar- den said of Illinois state high bar champ Brock Orwig, Tom Alexander, Mitch Rose and Bruce Bueno. "USUALLY freshmen break in on one or two events" Darden continued "but with such a young team, they'll men. Seniors Mike McNelis and Stu Downing excell on the pommel horse and floor exercise the latter of which will be even stronger with specialists Greg Nelson and Mike Spencer. Ari Golan and Paul Ingersoll will be sure point scorers on the rings and Jon Ross, Rich Saleh and Tom Alexander will cover several events. The team opens its season on Friday against Big Ten co-champion Ohio State in Columbus. THOUGH THE upperclassmen trained most of the summer, Darden feels that the team is untested. "The nine - man team contingent requires that our starters be extremely versatile," said Darden. "With such a young team, I'm not going to try and predict our season's final score." Minnesota along with last year's co- champions Illinois and Ohio State, are expected to fight it out for the 1984 Big Ten championship, as each team retur- ns most of its starters from last year. One can see the excitement in the eyes of Darden when he speaks of the future of this talented young team. This will be a trying season for Darden, but, as with any young team, the future is very bright.

Hona team captain * Wings slap Black Hawks, 7-4 By MIKE MCGRAW Special to the Daily DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings finally gained the dividend they had ex- pected from their off-season exchange with New York as two former Rangers, brought Detroit within range of the Norris Division lead by leading the team to a 7-4 victory over Chicago last iight. Ron Duguay, the most recognizeable player in the NHL while on the ice, scored a hat trick and goalie Ed Mio played a good game to give the Wings their sixth consecutive victory and pull them within two points of the first place Black Hawks. "YOU DREAM about games like this," Duguay said. "Tonight I had this feeling I was going to score and I did." S"We're taking every game with an aggressive attitude and everyone's playing with confidence," said Detroit coach Nick Polano. "Teams have to realize that we're fired up and we're going to be tough to beat." The game also marked the return of Black Hawk Tom Lysiak, who received a 20-game suspension last week for knocking referee Dave Newell to the ice. BUT LYSIAK received a 10 day restraining order on the suspension yesterday and saw a lot of action in the gare. Ironically, Newell was on hand to referee the game again last night. Detroit didn't get its first shot on goal until almost seven minutes into the game, but it went in. The Wings got a two man break at center ice and even- tually Dunguay put the puck in. The Black Hawks tied the game, though, with the help of goalie Mio. DEFENSEMAN Jack O'Callahan broke his stick on a shot from the point and Mio followed the broken wood in- stead of the black disk and stepped out of the way just as O'Callahan's shot went past and into the goal. Chicago took the lead exactly two minutes later when Darryl Sutter put in a rebound. But Detroit evened the score when rookie Steve Yzerman scored wit~h 'thp awkeur' i~n Wilcnn in thea sellout Joe Louis Arena crowd, not used to such displays by the home team, went crazy. The Black Hawks got one score back as the temporarily un-suspended Lysiak scored a power play goal. But Duguay added his second score of the night to end the period with Detroit up by three. "With the crowd like it was tonight, you get shivers," said Duguay. "And it's been a long time since I've gotten shivers." Lasorda and LaRussa win honors NEW YORK (AP) - Tom Lasorda, who led the Los Angeles Dodgers to the National League West title in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year, was named yesterday as NL Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Earlier yesterday, the BBWAA gave the American League award to Tony LaRussa, who led the Chicago White Sox to their first championship in 24 years. Lasorda, working with a young team full of new faces, piloted the Dodgers to their fourth division title since he became their manager in 1977. LA has won three league championships under the leadership of the 56-year-old manager who signed a new three-year contract with the Dodgers last week. Lasorda edged Bob Lillis of Houston for the award, 10-9 in balloting by the BBWAA panel. Panthers ink Girgash PONTIAC (UPI) - The Michigan Panthers of the USFL yesterday signed free agent Paul Girgash-of Michigan to bring the team's roster to 54 players. Girgash, a 6-1, 211-pound linebacker, is Michigan's second all-time leading tackler. He was signed as a free agent by Tampa Bay but was among the last players cut prior to the season opener. The Panthers said they anticipate signing 5 to 10 more free agents before the USFL player draft Jan. 4-5. Bullets 11, Pistons 88 LANDOVER, Md.
