STILL, YOU have to wonder why freshman Jeff Norton did. Why would one of the top East Coast hockey prospects come all the way to MWichigan to play for a team that had just finished 14-22-1, ninth in the con- ference and had a vacancy at head coach? For Norton, on his visit to the school last year, it was his prospective team- mates. "IT WAS the atmosphere on the team," said the 6-2, 185 Acton, Mass. native. "They (the team) went out fgether. Other schools that I visited, eeryone went their own way." Those "other schools" are college hockey's powerhouses - Boston College, Wisconsin, Denver University, Now Hampshire, and they all wanted him. Michigan assistant coach, Mark Miller got him. - "He finished strong the second half of his senior year, so he was getting a lot of attention," said Miller. "He came here for his visit and really enjoyed it. He saw that we were sincere in everything that we had told him, that he could come here and be able to step in and play." .PTEP IN and play? Jeff Norton has stepped in and dominated. On a defense that has been riddled with inconsistency and sloppiness, Nor- ton has proven his worth. He is the team's leading scorer among defen- semen (7 goals, 11 assists), and has been nominated for CCHA Player-of-the- Week for the past two weeks, despite the team's 0-4 record during that time. Don't think Norton wasn't expected to do well. Drafted in the third round by the New York Islanders, and finishing out an outstanding senior year in high school, players and coaches knew he was something special, and expected something special. "IT WAS a lot of pressure at the beginning of the year," said Norton in his unmistakeable New England ac- cent. "Being drafted and all that, you try to live up to what other people think. But now I just hope for the best and play as hard as I can." "The early part of the season, you could see that he wasn't an ordinary freshman," said head coach Red Berenson. "The thing that we like about hime is that he has a great attutude. He comes to work every day at practice. He can't get enough of it." Norton certainly doesn't play like a freshman. His aggressive style of play and puck handling ability haven't gone overlooked by anyone, certainly not his own teammates. "HE'S BROUGHT a lot of stability to our defense," said senior defenseman Mike Neff. "Jeff has helped our power play out a lot, he's a good penalty killer - he's a really good all-around player. As a freshman he really handles him- self well." So how did the Wolverines get this guy? When he came here Mark Miller didn't have the name of Red Berenson to drop. But he did have the academic reputation of Michigan to his advan- tage. "The next 40 years are the most im- portant ones," said Jack Norton, Jeff's father. "It would be real nice if he had that sheepskin at the end of four, with Michigan behind it. "THERE'S A lot of schools he could have gone to where he could have got- ten his four years of sports in and ended up a half-baked sophomore." Education is important to the junior Norton as well. The thought of becoming a professional some day is there, but he seems to be keeping it in perspective. "I'd like to go for it (the NHL). If the chance is there I will," said Norton. "But you have to look further than that. An education will bring you a lot fur- ther, which coach Berenson always stresses." Norton is enrolled in LSA, and would eventually like to go into finance or marketing. AS FOR the pros, anything is possible for Norton. Ask an ex-pro who knows. "I think his chances are pretty good," said Berenson. "College is perfect for him. He can get a lot of work and he'll Daily Photo by DAN HABIB Michigan freshman Jeff Norton moves in on a Spartan defenseman, in last Saturday's loss to Michigan State. Norton slapped in two goals for the Wolverines in the 9-4 defeat. have time to develop and improve ... by the time he leaves here, he'll be ready ready." So who needs the East? Not Jeff Nor- ton. The more physical style of play is more suited to his playing style anyway, his team-leading penalty minutes total will attest to that. Norton agrees. "I like the hockey out here bettah." The hockey out here's looking bettah, thanks to Jeff Norton. Raising lel BY PAUL HELGR EN Michigan sports salaries .. . ... Bo gets top bill S ER A N1 ' ,.' I LOVE SPORTS. I love lists. I love sports lists. So you can imagine my delight when my room- mate bought me a copy of "The Book of Sports Lists" for Christmas. In it I learned of Tampa Bay linebacker Dewey Selmon's six favorite philosophers (Plato is number-one), Clif Taylor's "10 celebrities I have instructed on shortened skis" and three people broadcaster Joe Garagiola would like to go on the disabled list with. More im- portantly, reading the book gave me the desire to make a sports list of my own. But what to list? What list could I concoct that Daily readers would be interested in? That's when it struck me. What are Michigan students most in- terested in? That's easy-money. C'mon, admit it. Sex rates only a poor second at best. So, I asked myself, why not give them a list that involves both sports and money? I hurriedly pulled out my copy of the Daily's "University faculty/staff salary listings," and created the Raising Hel Top Twenty Athletic Department salaries for 1985. 1) Bo Schembechler, head football coach, $96,030. Was there ever any doubt? Probably worth every penny, though with a mediocre 6-6 record this past season Bo's not the bargain he on- ce was. Those six victories cost $16,005 apiece in 1984. 2) Don Canham, Director of Athletics, $82,000. How many bosses make less than one of their em- ployees? Canham doesn't care, though, he gets perks-like free tickets to wrestling matches, a pair of obstructed-view seats in the Blue section for basketball games and all the icky football stadium hot dogs he can stomach. 3) Bill Frieder, head basketball coach, $52,500. Not a professor in anything, nor is he related to one. Could be due for a raise at the end of this season if his team keeps it up. 4) Gary Moeller, assistant football coach, $50,000. Might seem like a lot for an assistant but Moeller's one of the very best. Besides, the athletic department of the school he formerly coached for probably gave away that much money last year. 5) Jerry Hanlon, assistant football coach, $46,000. 6) Red Berenson, hockey coach, $45,000. One of the best paid college hockey coaches in the biz, we are told. 7) Will Perry, Assistant Director of Athletics, $43,400. Former athletic department PR-man makes good. 8) Tirrel Burton, assistant football coach, $41,500. A four-way tie for eighth among grid assistants on the chart. Trivia buffs take note: Tirrel is the highest paid Burton at the 'U'. 8) Lloyd Carr, assistant football coach, $41,500. 8) Elliott Uzelac, assistant football coach, $41,500. 8) Milan Vooletich, assistant football coach, $41,500. Hey, looks like there's good money in this assisting business. 12) Don Lund, Associate Director of Athletics, $41,200. What's the difference between assistant and associate athletic director? About 2,000 bucks, it seems. 13) Phyllis Ocker, Women's Athletic Director, $40,221. Reportedly considering a career move to assistant football coaching. 14) Fritz Seyferth, football recruiting coor- dinator, $39,000. Easily the biggest surprise on the list. 15) Jack Harvey, men's track coach, $33,785. 16) Al Renfrew, ticket manager, $32,045. Don't blame Rennie if your seats are in the end zone or in the rafters of Crisler. The former hockey coach does a great job of managing the ducats. 17) Steve Fisher, assistant basketball coach, $32,000. Won't be an assistant too much longer. 18)Mike Boyd, assistant basketball coach, $31,500. 18)Bud Middaugh, baseball coach, $31,500. That works out to something like $750 per win in an average Middaugh year. Bud is underpaid at any price. 18) Jon Urbanchek, men's swimming coach, $31,500. A logjam at thirty-one-five closes out the official top twenty. I . think that's a comprehensive enough list. I apologize if I've left someone out. Just a reminder. Not a single penny of your tuition dollar goes toward any of these salaries. The money you shell out for your football tickets does the job quite nicely, thank you. rm- NI -7-.

Using a 2-3 zone defense and I'concentrating on defense like Butch," according to Manager Cary Cicurel, the Dutch Wades almost ran the Alpha pelts out of the gym. Dan Cooperider and 5'10" Mike Green each canned 20 points in the win while Cicurel banged home 18 points and ripped down 12 "rebounds, a' la Butch himself. Taking ho mercy on their opponents, earlier this year the Butch Wades racked up a 104-19 win. While other teams attribute -heir success to things like rebounding or maybe even Wheaties, Cicurel eredits his team's success ot their game day ritual. "We plan our strategy at a team breakfast which alway includes Captain Crunch with Crunchberries." Chi Psi 39, Psi Upsilon 38 Balanced scoring paved the way for the Chi Psi's victory as they barely Ihung on to down the Psi Upsilons. ,Because of the deft outside shooting touch of the Psi Ups, the Chi Psis headed into the lockerroom down by two at halftime, 22-20. But a Chi Psi switch on defense from man-to-man to zone slowed the Psi Upsilon attack. The Chi Psis assumed a one point advan- tage with about a minute left but turned the ball over to Psi Upsilon for the last Alpha Phi Alpha Alpha Epsilon Pi 44 51, Bringing back memories of their championship teams in 1980 and 1981, the Alpha Phi Alphas came back from a 22-20 deficit at halftime and broke open a close game with tenacious defense down the stretch. The Alpha's 2-3 zone defense set up easy steals and forced Alpha Epsilon Pi into numerous tur- novers. Geoffrey Craig paced the Alpha attack with 16 points and three blocked shots and Wayne McLeod shredded the nets for 15. Manager Bill Doss believes his squad can make the Fraternity 'A' finals this year, and with the Alpha Phis sporting a 3-0 record and an average victory margin of 25 points, Doss may indeed be right.
