Hockey vs. Ferris State Tonight, 7:30 p.m. Y Vnt Ic Arpnn 0' OR.TS Volleyball vs. Minnesota Tonight, 7:00 p.m. :. svi ie u . ! 16i ACCRB Tle Michigan Daily Saturday, October 20, 1984 Page -iyWOLVERINES TRIUMPH, 8-6 Icers gun down Ferris in shootout By MIKE REDSTONE Joe Lockwood and Paul Kobylarz scored less than four minutes apart early in the third period to put Michigan ahead, 7-6, last night en route to an 8-6 victory over a tough Ferris State squad, 8-6. Brad Jones added an empty-netter with just 12 seconds left to insure the win as the Wolverines fended off a furious last-minute rally by the Brlldogs. DESPITE keeping the puck in the Ferris end throughout most of the con- test, the Wolverines found themselves battling back from varous deficits until 1:21 into the third period when a power play goal by Frank Downing gave Michigan its first lead of the night. "It's tough when you get behind," said Michigan coach Red Berenson, who made his official Ann Arbor homecoming last night after 22 years inthe NHL. "I was proud when the team came back, and we came back on more than one occasion." The Bulldogs were quick to come back, however, as Ray Zabel and team captain Graham Craig scored just 1:12 apart. Craig's goal completed his hat trick and put Ferris back into the lead at the 4:56 mark, 6-5. After the goal by Craig, however, the Wolverines rallied and scored just 11 seconds later as Lockwood took a per- fect right-wing pass from Mike Neff and flipped the puck over Hughston's left shoulder. KOBYLARZ then put the Wolverines in the lead for good when he took a pass from Dan Goff in front of the net and drove the puck past Hughston, who was being pulled away from the net. The two teams traded goals nthe first period as the Bulldogs built a 3-2 lead on goals by Tim Wendt, Noel Caya, and Craig. Wendt opened the scoring at the 2:24 mark on a breakaway just, as a Michigan power play was ending. Freshman Brad McCaughey knotted the score three minutes later as he drove the rebound off a Tom Stiles shot past Hughston. CAYA, WHO had three goals and an assist in the Bulldog's sweep at Bowling Green.last weekend, took advantage of a power-play situation to put Ferris ahead, 2-1, as he drove a shot from the blue line past Michigan netminder Blue biting Mark Chiamp. The Wolverines came right back to tie the score on a Brad Jones goal before Craig's goal put the Bulldogs back in the lead at intermission. Craig gave his team its only two-goal margin of the night at 1:24 of the second stanza as he jammed the puck past Chiamp as it lay in the crease following a shot by Paul Lowden. THE WOLVERINES played inspired hockey from that point, howvever, as consecutive goals by Todd Carlile, Chris Seychel, and Downing gave the Wolverines a 5-4 lead early in the third period. After Ferris scored on its first :two shots of the game sandwiched arouno the McCaughey goal, it appeared as though the Bulldogs would improve their record to 3-0, but the Michigan of- fense responded with its best play of the season. "We scored some goals and 'developed more offense tonight," said Berenson. "We shouldn't have to score seven goals to win a game, but it was that kind of a game. It wasn't classic hockey.

"Yes, I was surprised," Turner ad- mitted yesterday in a telephone inter- view from his Flint home. "I felt like I was doing really well at camp. But I've got other options." TURNER, the Piston's second-round pick in the 1984 NBA draft, was put on waivers by the team Thursday and will become a free agent if no other NBA club claims him by today. As a junior last season, Turner helped Michigan win the National Invitational Tournament. He then decided to forego his senior year of eligibility and give the pros a try, a move that was criticized by many. But it was a move that Turner still feels was correct. "I don't regret my decision," he said. He also didn't want to disclose the ex- planation the Pistons gave him for his isidering options 4:04; M-Stiles (high-sticking) 4:04; M-Neff (hooking) 12:34; M-Dries (tripping) 18:05.

SAVES M-Chiamp 17; FS-Hughston 29 Turner awaits NBA bids, not sorry he left school An open letter to Eric Turner... Dear Eric, I'm not one to say I told you so but ... What was the big rush to go pro? Things were finally coming together for the team. You were there through the bad times. The 7-20 campaign of 1981-82, the losses to EMU, Louisiana Tech and Detroit,the starting line-up that featured Joe James and Ike Person. It took a while for Coach Frieder to build a team out of that incoherent mess. A Roy Tarpley here, an Antoine Joubert there, they didn't develop overnight. But, at the end of last season, the Michigan basketball team was a well-oiled machine. The club that murdered Notre Dame in the NIT finals would have been com- petitive with any team in the nation (well, maybe not Georgetown or North Carolina). Roy and Butch were pounding the boards, Antoine and Rich were doing tie scoring, and you were the leader, the quarterback. And you gave it all up. It wasn't just a potentially outstanding :team you left behind, either. There was ;your senior year at school. : This was your opportunity to work on the parts of your game that were weak, you . never did become the consistent player Tu that Frieder was looking for. On top of that, you could have earned your degree on time. The Big Ten added the 45-second clock this year, Eric. You finally would have had the run-and-gun offense that suited your talents. We might've been talking All-America status. But no! Despite the advice of your coach and family, you decided that the pro game was ready for you. Thursday, piston coach Chuck Daily decided that you weren't ready for the pro game. The Pistons needed a point guard, Eric. They wanted you to succeed more than anyone else. Daly would not have cut you unless he was convinced that there was no way you could help the team. He kept Sidney Lowe, for God's sake. Where does this leave you now? You could go the route of Bullet Star Jeff Ruland and develop your talents in Europe for a couple of years. Maybe you could try the Continental Basketball League. Avoid Billings, though, it gets real cold in Montana in January. Colder than Ann Arbor. Speaking of Ann Arbor, it would be nice if you showed up to watch your old team once in a while this year. Frieder signed this kid from Canton whom people are raving about. A lot of them say he looks like you. You should probably see for your- self. And while you're in town, you could talk to Tarpley, Rellford and Joubert. Just in case they were considering going hardship for the big bucks and the glamour of the pros, you could give them a dose of reality. Those guys respect you, Eric, they'll listen to you. I don't know if you noticed with all that was going on this week but the Warriors cut Russell Cross last Tuesday. Remem- ber him, Eric? Cross was an All-Big Ten center two years ago. When he went har- dship, Golden State made the Purdue star the sixth choice overall in the country. He lasted a year. You weren't All-Big Ten, Eric. You weren't a first-round choice, either. Honestly, everybody here feels bad for rrner you. We wanted you to stay but, once you made your decision, we were behind you 100 percent. You've got too much talent to let this get to you. Whatever you decide to do, take the time to develop your skills. Be coachable. You're not that far from where you need to be. Take care of yourself, Eric. We'll see you around. Sincerely, A Fan waiver. "There were a few things said between us," he claimed. "But that was all personal." PISTON COACH Chuck Daly was on his way to Cincinnati yesterday for an exhibition game with the Boston Celtics and was unavailable for comment. Turner and his agent, Cleveland at- torney Pete Kirsanow, didn't know what the 6-3 pointman's next move might be. "At the present time we're exploring other options," said Kirsanow. "He's on the waiver wire. There might be an NBA team that is looking for a point guard." "I'M GOING to wait a few days and rest before I do anything," said Turner. "There's a possibility that another NBA team would be interested and pick me up. I would like to get with a team that likes to run." Neither would discuss other playing possibilities, such as the Continental Basketball Association or Europe. "I would consider other options," said Turner, "but I don't want to talk about them now." Kirsanow added, "He's going to play basketball somewhere this year, hopefully it will be in the NBA." I r v li l MICHIGAN DAILY "BOO LINES" Send your favorite ghoul a message today! 'MADILL, WOLVERINES SWING HOME: Linksters host Lady Invitational 2 lines for $1.00 Extra lines $.75 each (7 words per line) ° ° o ' o ° o ,, 4 By BRAD MORGAN rAfter being on the road for eight weeks, the women's golf team will finally bring its travelling act home *hen it hosts the Lady Wolverine In- 4fational today and tomorrow at the Mi- chigan Golf Course. To head coach Sue beClair and the rest of the team, playing in Ann Arbor will be a welcome break. "All the girls are tired and the pressures of school are starting to build u} now, so it's good to be home," said LeClair. 'BECAUSE of that weariness, LeClair *plans on playing two teams this week, thus giving several freshmen a chance to experience golf at the tournament level for the first time. This will also give several regulars a rest. One regular who won't be rested is Valerie Madill. The sophomore from Flint is one of the bright spots of this year's team. "She just has a beautiful golf swing, alid she's very intense and hard working. She's easy to coach," said _r. r,..-. That's not to say that she doesn't like the travel though. "I like meeting all the girls on the other teams," said Madill. "Our team is really fun to travel with, so I really enjoy that." Madill went out this season with the goal of lowering her scoring average, said. "Next year I'd really like to get down around 80 if possible." LeClair echoed this sentiment and expressed her confidence in Madill's ability. "Next year I don't see any reason why she can't be down around 80," the coach said. "She has great dedication and determination, and she never gives up on herself." MADILL is just as positive about her coach. "She's kind of relaxed and she's very easy to golf for because of that. We're never under great pressure to perform, and that helps a lot." Both Madill and LeClair agree that Michigan's course is one of the tougher courses they face all year. "It's definitely a harder course, so my scores will be higher here," said Madill. LECLAIR expects higher team scores as well. "We know it's harder here, so I'd like to see around a 325 *uumuuEEUamuuUUUUUUUUUEUUUUEUEEUUEUUUUUEUEUUUEUEEUUUEEEUEUEE Halloween Message: * U * U * U * * * U * NAEU * U * ADRU U U PHN U CUT s
