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. i.

In fact, the Spartans outskated the icers all weekend in a pair of easy victories. Women thinclads improving i By DEBRA deFRANCES 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 BLOOM COUNTY a.. ---, Watch for it in 01 e-M hia Da first in the 3000-meter run with a time of 8:33.65, this weekend. Chris Brewster, who competes in the three-mile run, has also been running very well, according 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 second."
