LEVY If it's offense you crave, then you may want to think twice before atten- ding today's Michigan-Northwestern football game (1:00 p.m.). The Wolverines, 3-2, 2-1 in the Big Ten are breaking in two new quarterbacks - sophomores Russell Rein and Chris Zurbrugg. Without the injured Jim Harbaugh, Michigan is not a threat to score 30 points against a tough Wildcat defense. NORTHWESTERN, meanwhile, 1-5, 1-3 in the conference, has the weakest offense in the Big Ten. And last week against Iowa, junior signal-caller San- dy.-Schwab stretched ligaments in his throwing arm. Schwab's starting status is questionable, which means that 18- year-old freshman, Mike Greenfield could see considerable time. Add the fact that both squads sport solid defensive units and the Michigan Stadium faithful is in danger of wit- nessing an extremely low scoring con- test. For Bo Schembechler, today's con- frontation with the lowly Wildcats represents one thing and one thing only - a warm up. Schembechler is looking to give his young quarterbacks enough time to get comfortable for the battles ahead. Michigan's next three games are against Iowa, Illinois and Purdue. "I THINK probably we'll use both of them," said Schembechler. "We'll give both of them an opportunity to play. They're both very close and they're very similar types of quarterbacks." Zurbrugg is listed to start, but Schembechler admitted Thursday that- he had still not-committed himself. Against Michigan State last Saturday, Zurbrugg completed one of his four pass attempts with two interceptions. Rein went two for seven with one inter- ception. "They both throw pretty well and handle the team pretty well," said Schembechler. "But none of these guys have been brought along like Jimmy Harbaugh." - SCHEMBECHLER will thus look to his running game, which has had a tough time getting on track in 1984. Senior Rick Rogers is slated to make his first start of the season as is junior fullback, Eddie Garrett. Michigan's top tailback, Gerald White, will miss his second game in suc- cession due to arm and shoulder lacerations suffered in a dormitory ac- cident two weeks ago. Freshman Jamie Morris will back up Rogers, and Bob Perryman will see action at fullback. Another first-time 1984 starter for Michigan is flanker Triando Markray. Gilvanni Johnson is out with a knee in- jury. NORTHWESTERN'S only hope lies with its defense, which includes six ex- perienced seniors. Last week against Iowa, the Wildcats, made ten tackles behind the Hawkeye line of scrimmage, including six quarterback sacks. "If we are effective moving the ball against Northwestern, that will be in- dication to me that we'll be okay," said Schembechler. But Wildcat defensive coordinator, Francis Peay was a bit more conser- vative when speaking abopt his unit. "OUR DEFENSE has probably .matured to a certain extent. It's been an improvement for us. Our third down consistency has gotten better, but we're still giving up 350-plus yards .per game," said Peay. Peay also feels that the Wolverine of- fense will be formidable, even without Harbaugh at the helm. "You know Michigan has a well-oiled replacement waiting in the wings. Bo Schembechler coached teams execute extremely well, almost flawless. If you concentrate on their receivers, their tailback will beat you and vice versa," said Peay. Northwestern's best players defen- sively are left tackle Keith Cruise, out- side linebacker Alex Moyer, inside pound senior, is an All-American can- didate. ODDLY ENOUGH, what was con- sidered to be a potentially potent offen- se for the Wildcats has fizzled. "Their defense is as good as any in the league," commented Schembechler. "But their offense hasn't generated any offense." "As a unit they had been getting bett- er each week," said Wildcat offensive coordinator, Scott Schumann. "Except last week we had a little setback." Last week Northwestern fell to Iowa, 31-3. Schwab is the main man on offense, but following the graduation of his top tailback and top two receivers from a , year ago, he has been inconsistent. Schwab. has completed only 47.3 per- cent of his passes and two touchdowns. But he has also tossed nine intercep- tions. Complementing the Wildcat passing attack is an anemic ground game. Nor- thwestern's running backs are averaging a pitiful 2.2 yards per carry. Michigan itself is suffering from its poorest season rushing in several cam- paigns, but is still averaging 3.4 yards per carry. In 1983, Michigan backs picked up an average of 4.8 yards a pop.

Zurbrugg is listed as today's starter at QB, but Russell Rein will also see action. THE LINEUPS Michigan Northwestern OFFENSE (95) (79) (77) t 459), (73) (72), (25) (12) (32) (20) Sim Nelson.......

(256) (258) (213) ( 160) (185) (225) (198); Blue ices By TOM KEANEY Special to the Daily OXFORD, OHIO - Red Berenson's college coaching career got off to a good start last night as the Michigan hockey team grinded out a 6-4 road vic- tory over Miami of Ohio. Berenson was pleased with the win but kept the performance in perspective. "BOTH TEAMS pdyed hard, it was a physical game, and I thought it was a very close hockey game," Berenson said. "We had to grind out the goals. There weren't any pretty goals." Michigan showed effective passing early in the game and created a number of scoring opportunities but could not convert them into goals. The Wolverines played short-handed for much of the first period, but the defense had little trouble denying the erratic Miami power play any goals. WHEN ASKED ABOUT his power play, Miami head coach Steve Cady termed it "nonexistent." Because we didn't have a chance to spend time on it in practice, I'm not overly surprised," said Cady. "But I was expecting it to be a bit better." The Michigan defense in general played well and showed good, hard checking. OPPORTUNITIES were turned into goals in the second period, due in part to the eight penalties han- ded out in the period. Miami drew first blood when left wing John Ciotti blistered a wrist shot off a face-off in the Michigan zone past Wolverine goalie, Mark Chiamp. The Wolverines came right back a minute later as freshman Brad McCaughey scored Michigan's first goal of the season.' WORKING ON A power play, Tom Stiles fed Mc- Caughey with a beautiful pass, leaving him in the clear and the Ann Arbor native pushed the puck over Miami goaltender Tom Hall's right shoulder. Michigan didn't stop there, coming back with its second goal just eleven seconds later. This time it was Paul Spring getting the goal, chipping in a Paul Kobylarz shot from the rightslot. At 7:50 of that period Miami center Todd Channell confiscated an errant Michigan pass, brought it past the blue line and delivered a slap shot to tie the score at 2-2.- RAY DRIES regained the lead for Michigan put- ting a Bill Brauer rebound into an open net at 8:38.

In the third period goalie Chiamp kept Miami down, coming up with some big saves and allowing Michigan to take control of the game. "In any win on the road you need good goal keeping, and that was the case tonight," said Beren- son. JUNIOR RIGHT VING Stiles scored just 35 secon- ds into the final period, and from there Michigan ran the score up to 6-3 on a goal by Bruce Macnab. Miami closed the game's scoring with 3:02 left to play on a goal by Mike Martinec, but the contest was beyond the Redskins' reach. Michigan never looked outstanding last night but didn't make mistakes either. Said Berenson: "My team is not going to play stupid hockey."

UO The win was typical of the Wolverine track program, with the emphasis being on teamwork, rather than in- dividual accomplishment. Bill Brady and Dave Meyer crossed the finish line together for the first place tie. Their winning time of 26:38 had Warhurst happy. "That's pretty darn quick for an all this course.. . I was really pleased." eyes in Meyer was particularly happy to not- ch his first Cross Country win for the in the Maize and Blue. It was especially sweet elds in for him to do it against State, the school ld end he transferred from after his freshman erence year. Yet he wasn't greedy to grab all the glory. "It's the team first and the in individual later," he said.

That's A trample State in 'team' victory the way it should have been." Michigan's Bob Vandenburg sur- prised some with his third place finish. He held off Mike Kavulich of State with a late burst of speed. Chris Brewster nearly gave Michigan the top four places but fell short at the finish. Warhurst was not disappointed with Brewster though. "Brewster just fin- ished his first week of hard workouts so he was a little flat. But we're pleased," said Warhurst. Next week Warhurst takes his team to the Central Collegiate Champion- ships at Marquette University. He looks .forward to that meet because his team continues to heal from several nagging injuries. "Everybody's starting to get healthy. We're a lot better now than when we finished in sixth place at Notre Dame (last Saturday)," he commen- ted. Brady ... ties for first i'll'.
