MSU, 'M' far apart0. ..
By CHRIS GERBASI
Before the hockey season started, Michigan coach Red
Berenson said he hoped to eventually turn the
Wolverines into a national power.
Michigan State, a current power showed Michigan the
difference between a "have" and a "have-not" this past
weekend.
Of course, there were the obvious differences, such as
the Spartans' 11-2 and 9-4 shellackings of the Wolverines.
But there are other differences which demonstrate just
how far apart the two programs are and, also, what a suc-
cessful hockey team can mean to a university.
For example, the crowds in the home-and-home series
showed where hockey lies on the list of priorities for
Wolverine and Spartan fans.
MSU attracted 6,697 fans, an overflow crowd, to Munn
Area Friday night. On Saturday, the Wolverines drew
8,239, but at least 6,000 of those fans were Spartan suppor-
ters. At Yost, State drew a much larger ovation than
Michigan. In East Lansing, not a cheer was heard for the
Wolverines.
The real difference between the crowds is that State
always draws a virtual sellout while Michigan usually has
an audience of 2200 people. Naturally, the talent of the
teams has something to do with attendence; the
Wolverines are 10-19-1 while MSU is 27-3. But to be out-
drawn and outcheered in you own arena against an in-
trastate rival is pathetic.
But that's what a successful program can do for a
school. An intense rivalry such as Michigan-Michigan
State is almost always an event a coach wants to show
potential recruits. Hopefully, Berenson didn't use the
weekend series as a showcasebecause he may have un-
wittingly helped his counterpart, Ron Mason.
There are still other differences between the two
programswhich, looked at separately, may appear in-
significant. Yet these seemingly minor points display the
fact that success is more than just players putting the
puck into the net.
Thanks to the success of their program, MSU plays in
modern Munn Arena, where fans have a great view of the
game from any seat. There's plenty of free parking
around the arena, despite the huge crowds. The press box
accomodates 50 people and has a small screen to keep
reporters up-to-date on statistics.
Michigan's athletic department is content to house the
S. .winning just a start
Wolverines in Yost Ice Arena, which some would argue
has a fine, rustic tradition. Yost also has wooden benches
and steel girders which serve as obstacles in some areas,
including the press box. I've been waiting all season to
mention the girder that is to the immediate right of Daily
writers when they attempt to view a game. Whenever I sit
in the box, I feel like I should be wearing a hard hat and
carrying a metal lunch box like the other construction
workers.
Whenever the puck is in the south end of the rink,
writers have to jump up and down more often than fans
doing The Wave. Of course, The Wave hasn't been too
visible at Yost this year. But chants of "M-S-U, M-S-U"
were popular Saturday.
Yost doesn't have a screen for the media either, just a
garbled public address system which sounds like the
stereotypical bus line announcer reading off stops in
Cleveland, Youngstown, and Scranton. Also, parking
costs two dollars, but the Wolverines faithful'. only run
into a crowd when Spartan fans make the 60-mile trek to
cheer on their team.
The Michigan State band is great. They wear Spartan
hockey jerseys, make a lot of noise, play striptease music
when female rink attendents walk on the ice, and
generally get the crowd involved in cheers.
Michigan's band sometimes has many musicians and
sometimes has few. Occasionally, the band looks like it's
been pulled in off the street and told to blow an in-
strument. They even played the MSU fight song Saturday,
probably because they felt like they were in East Lansing.
These are all just minor points, but they extend from
success on the ice and add to the enjoyment of big-time
college hockey.
Obviously, it's frustrating to be a Michigan hockey fan
when another team in the state is playing at an altogether
different level. But the difference shows the direction in
which Red Berenson should head.
Berenson's appointment as head coach brought new op-
timism to the team, fans and local media. Perhaps we all
overreacted in thinking improvement would come
quickly. The other night, Mason suggested that once
Berenson brings in his players, recruits that is, the
program will turn around. If Berenson is looking for a
model to follow, Mason's Spartans would not be a bad
choice; for the program, the fans, the students and the
university.

In its second weekend of competition,
the women's track team scored some
impressive individual victories. The
club is "coming along as expected,"
according to rookie head coach James
Henry.
Michigan traveled to Windsor this
past weekend to compete against 16
Canadian and American colleges in in-
dividual events. One of the many bright
spots for the Wolverines was Sue
Schroeder's 4:24 finish in the 1500 meter
run, good for first place along with
meet and school records. Schroeder
qualified for the NCAA championships
in that event as well as setting another
meet record in the 800-meter run, with a
time of 2:50.3
IN THE field events, freshman Angie
Hafner won the high jump with a jump
of 5'91" and teammate Debbie Duncan
placed first in the shot put with a throw
of 42'8 ".
Coach Henry said the team isn't even
at peak yet. "We're still into a strength
training," Henry explained. "In two or
three weeks we'll reach our peak."
This weekend, the girls travel to Pur-
due to meet Big Ten competition.
Men hurting
After struggling through the Western
Michigan Relays this past weekend, the
men's track team will work to
strengthen its field events and in-
dividual racing events, according to
head coach Jack Harvey.
Harvey, who's been at the Michigan
helm for 11 years, said it's early in the
season to tell how his team is doing, but
that the loss of five All-Big Ten seniors
in field events has shown in the first two
competitions.
"WE DON'T have too much depth in
the field this year," Harvey said. "And
injuries haven't helped us either."
Two Wolverines have been injured
already this season. After a second
place finish in the long jump (23'2%")
and a fourth place in the high jump
(6'8"), Scott Crawford was hurt in the
Western Michigan Relays. Freshman
pole vaulter Dave Irvine went down
earlier in the season.
The long distance runners have been
doing fairly well. Dave Meyer finished

to Harvey.
This weekend Michigan travels to
Purdue where it will meet Big Ten
rivals Illinois and Purdue. "Illinois will
be the team to beat this weekend," said
Harvey. "We'll be battling it out for

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Dwayne
Washington hit on a 15-foot jump shot
with eight seconds left to put Syracuse
in front and sank a free throw four sec-
onds later as the ninth-ranked
Orangemen handed No. 2 Georgetown
its second straight loss, 65-63 last night
in Big East Conference basketball.
The Hoyas trailed Syracuse for more
than 15 minutes of the second half
before finally regaining the lead with
3:07 to play on a three-point play by
Patrick Ewing. Ewing's layup tied the
socre 60-60, and his free throw had the
double effect of sending 7-foot Tony
rick; Hoyas fall again
Sikaly of Syracuse to the bench with his
fifth personal foul.
However, Syracuse's Rafael Ad-
dison, the game's leading scorer with
26 points, sank a pair of free throws 18
seconds later to give Syracuse the edge
again.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI) - Ken
Barlow scored 17 of his 19 points in the
second half and Notre Dame ran off 11
straight to open the second period in a
70-63 Irish victory over Providence last
night.
Joseph Price added 11, and Donald
Royal and David Rivers 12 each for the
Irish, 10-5. Brian Waller scored 20 and
Matthew Palazzi came off the bench to
hit 16 for the Friars.
Providence, 9-11, led 31-27 at the half
off 13 of 20 shooting in the opening
period and Notre Dame's own 10 of 21
performance.
But the Friars missed eight shots and
two free throws on their first eight
possessions after halftime.
