The -Flames extended their road win streak to four and handed the Wolverines their I fifth straight loss last night at Yost Arena, 4-3. The Wolverines' defense looked sharp despite the absence of freshman Jeff Norton, who is suffering with a bruised knee. Senior Mike Neff solidified the defensive unit, however, with one of his strongest games of the year. THE STRENGTH of the Michigan defense kept the Flames top scoring line of Ray Staszak, Colin Chin, and Mike Rucinski (74 goals, 164 points) off the scoreboard all night as Neff and fellow defenseman Pat Goff came up with several big plays. "I thought we played well defensively but we broke down on our power play," said Michigan coach Red Berenson while discussing Illinois-Chicago's two shorthanded goals. "Those two goals against our power play made the dif- ference in the game." The game began with a hungry Illinois-Chicago squad taking the play to the Wolverines and forcing Michigan goalie Mark Chiamp to make several big saves, one on a point-blank shot by Chin. MICHIGAN OPENED the scoring at 10:12 of the period as Ray Dries and Frank Downing moved the puck to defenseman Gary Lorden at the left point following a faceoff. Lorden rifled a low slapshot past Illinois-Chicago netminder Jim Hickey for his first collegiate goal. . The Wolverines' solid defense managed to keep the Flames from lighting the red light until the 17:39 mark when Jamie Husgen took a loose puck at the Michigan faceoff circle and ripped a shot through the pads of a well- screened Chiamp. The Flames capitalized in the second period on two key Michigan miscues to tally both of their shorthanded goals - the twelfth and thirteenth Michigan has allowed this season. SCOTT KNUTSON began the shor- thanded barrage at 1:25 of the period when he stole the puck from defen- seman Todd Carlile in front of the Michigan net and flicked a shot over Chiamp's shoulder from about ten feet out for his thirteenth goal of the season. The Flames' other shorthanded goal came when Wolverine defenseman Bill Brauer misplayed the puck at the Illinois-Chicago blue line while Michigan was setting up its power play. UfC's Tom Almquist took the loose puck down the ice and blasted a slap- shot from the left point. Chiamp made the initial save but Daryl Seltenrich was right there to shove the puck past the sprawled netminder. Illinois-Chicago scored the eventual game winner at 4:09 of the third period as Terry Majich took a perfect pass from Paul Tory on a two-on-one break and beat Chiamp cleanly. Michigan managed to pull within one goal at 4-3 after Brad Jones' second goal of the night at 12:06 of the third stanza but could get no closer as the Flames' defense tightened in the final 10 minutes of the contest. "I thought Chiamp played a good game," said Berenson, "and we checked well and did a lot of the things we wanted to do. We didn't capitalize on our scoring chances." The Wolverines will have to capitalize in tonight's game if they hope to make the CCHA playoffs. With just two remaining home games, Beren- son's team may have to earn a spot in the post-season tournament on the road. w Flame broiled FIRST PERIOD Scoring: 1. M-Lorden (Dries, Downing) 10:12; 1.

The mighty Wolverines, ranked tenth in the country by the Associated Press and 11th by United Press International, are tied with Iowa for the Big Ten lead with a 6-2 record (15-3 overall). Mean- while the Badgers, who lost to Michigan State, 77-68, Thursday night, share the cellar with Northwestern at 1-7 (10-8 overall). BUT FRIEDER, who always expects a battle in Big Ten contests, does not expect a cake walk, especially since his team is on the road. "Wisconsin will be tough," said the fifth-year Wolverine top man. "It's a national cable game, and they're capable. They played Purdue well, and they played Illinois well up there (two weeks ago). They're going to win four or five games at Madison this year, I 1 guarantee that. You've just got to hope as a coach that you're not one of the ,casualties." The last two years, Michigan has been a casualty at Madison. Two years go, the Wolverines fell, 82-70. Then last .ear guard Rick Olson hit 39 points to lead the Badgers to a 71-64 victory. OLSON is back this year and could give Michigan trouble. Last week, the 6- I guard, who has averaged 15.4 points per Big Ten game, had some problems 4n Wisconsin's road losses to Iowa and kinnesota. However, two weeks ago he d ossed in 31 in the Badgers 72-68 loss to Purdue. : So Frieder has plans for shutting : cown the junior from Madison. "We're going to defend him a little better. I've ;got a better guy on him this year," Frieder said, referring to Gary Grant. "I'm going to try to prevent him from taking the shots he wants to," said Crant after Thursday night's Wolverine "victory at Northwestern, "and make him do the things he doesn't want to." STILL, the freshman guard had not yet made any definite game plans. "I'm going to go up to Madison and see some game film of him. I don't know exactly . ywhat I'm going to do against him 'because I haven't seen him yet." Another threat for Wisconsin is for- 'ward Scott Roth, the team's leading scorer, who is averaging 19.3 points in the Big Ten and 18.8 overall. "Roth and Olson especially have had Rozier signs with Jacksonville JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI)-For- mer Heisman Trophy winner Mike SRozier got a key to the city and a new lease on life in the U.S. Football League Friday after signing a multi-year con- tract with the Jacksonville Bulls. Thoughts on the road between Evanston and Madiso * Roy Tarpley and Antoine Joubert wore blue t-shir under their blue away jerseys in Thursday night's victor at Northwestern. But they weren't trying to imita Patrick Ewing or Chris Mullin. Both had been sick wi the flu earlier in the week and did not want to take ar chances within chilly Welsh-Ryan Arena. "It was just for precaution," said Tarpley. "I wanted1 keep warm so my cold wouldn't get worse. I think I he just a little flu or something." Both Tarpley's and Joubert's con- ditions had improved since earlier in the week, although Joubert said it would be a couple of days before he would be 100 percent. Hopefully tomorrow they'll feel better than they did today," said Frieder Thursday night. "They feel t better today than they did yester- day." Garde Thompson was also infec- ted with the flu during the week. His' case, however, was not as severe as Tarpley's or Joubert's. Frieder did not think the illness would affect any of the players performances today against Wisconsin. 9 Maybe Tarpley and Joubert ought to play more often when they're sick. Tarpley put in 16 points . . and ripped down 11 rebounds while Joubert dished out assists, tying the Wolverine record set by Mark Bodn against Dayton in 1980.

Idling on 1-94.. ..,of Badgers and brews N " Welsh-Ryan Arena brought back a lot of n: memories, mainly from my high school. After a $6.75 'ts million facelift, the inner arena looked more like the in- ry side of a prep gymnasium than a college basketball te stadium. Instead of placing regular individual seats in the th arena, the designers decided to use two decks of high ny school-style wooden bleachers. The rest of the arena is beautiful, with the Northwestern sports Hall of Fame in to the lobby. But the layout of the inner arena detracts from ad the entire project, making'it look like it should be part of a high school complex. Then again, maybe a high school caliber team should be playing in a high school style arena. " The fans at Welsh-Ryan remin- ded me a lot of Crisler Arena fans. They acted as if they were disin- terested and mute. Throughout most of the game they sat on their hands with their mouths shut, worse than the fans at Crisler used to be before the Wolverines got hot. They made noise only to boo Andre-Goode or in the early going when Shon Morris broke the potential shutout. " Madison and -the University of Wisconsin have to be the collegiate alcohol capital of the Midwest. The Goode first thing you see when you get off the highway heading for the campus . or is he? is a sign advertising T.P.'s Liquor 13 Mart. and then for the rest .of the drive through campus, er every other building is either a bar, a tavern or a liquor store. One of the notables was the Suburban Liquor Store as which features a sign welcoming all college students, he athletes and sports fans to Madison. Add a 19-year-old hit drinking age and you've got a combination that would n- surely be appreciated at the University of Michigan. is Sure, the license plates call Wisconsin "America's us Dairyland," but it might more accurately be labeled "The Land of the Moos and the Brews."

If they put it together they can be very, very dangerous." ONE WEAPON Wisconsin will be without, however, is forward Cory Blackwell. Having led the conference in scoring last year, Blackwell skipped his senior season to join the NBA's Seattle Supersonics. Blackwell's replacement, sophomore J.J. Weber, has averaged only 7.4 points per game. Another spot that could give Badger the Wildcats. The Wolverines face head coach Steve Yoder a headache is at center, where 6-9 senior John Ploss (4.6 ppg) will be matched against Michigan's 6-11 Roy Tarpley. "Of course everyone is concerned with Tarpley," said Yoder. In addition, Yoder is concerned with how Olson and freshman guard Mike Heineman will handle Grant and An- toine Joubert. "We're going to have our hands full with Grant and Joubert," Yoder said. "They're great guards. We just have to hope we can contain them." By RICK KAPLAN A nuclear attack was launched at Crisler Arena last night by Anucha Brown, that is. The center for the Nor- thwestern women's basketball team scored 31 points from short-to-medium range in guiding the Wildcats to a 77-56 victory over Michigan. Brown, a 6-1 senior, who leads the nation in scoring with a 30.6 points per game average, blew Michigan away from the free-throw line, hitting eleven of twelve. She also grabbed eleven rebounds. THE BROOKLYN, N.Y. native scored eleven of her team's first thir- teen second half points, escalating the Wildcats' lead to 51-36. Northwestern put all systems on automatic and cruised the rest of the way for the vic- tory. "You're not going to stop her," said Michigan coach Bud Van De Wege of Brown, "but you can cut her efficiency. We did that in the first half when she scored mostly from the free-throw line." Northwestern held a 12-point halftime edge, due to some long-range missiles from guard Laura Wiesen. The junior from Empire had 12 points in the first often breaking the press, but couldn't complete the plays. "Every time we beat the press, we'd get intimidated and pull the ball back outside," said Van De Wege. In a three-and-a-half minute stretch midway through the second half, the Wildcats put together a 12-2 run, in- creasing their advantage to 63-40. Nor- thwestern forward Stephanie Cham- bers had six of her thirteen points in that string. Nuclear winter did not come all at once for the Wolverines. The first strike came from Northwestern's Wiesen, but it was not achieved until 3:07 had elap- sed. The Wolverine survivors of tonight's holocaust will attempt reincarnation on Sunday, at home against Wisconsin. Grapplers' win comes early An early 22-0 lead in football is good, but not insurmoutable. The same margin in basketball is embarrassing, but comebacks aren't impossible.- But in wrestling, fall behind 22-0 and* you're history. That is exactly what happened to Minnesota last night, as Michigan's grapplers won the first four matches en route to a 37-7 victory. to raise his record to 33-5. Not to-be outdone, All-American Joe McFarland won his match at 134 by technical fall, after racking "up a 17-2 lead in the second period. The meet score was 16-0 at the time, and after Mike DerGarabedian pinned Jerry Gebhart at 5:20, it was 22-0 and the Gophers knew why the Wolverines are ranked sixth in the nation, if there were any doubts. GUY RUSSO, filling in for an injured Tony Latora, was not as fortunate, losing 16-5 at 150. 167-pounder Steve Richards grinded out a 13-6 win, his 20th of the year against 12 losses. After Kevin Hill lost a 10-6 match (blowing a 6-3 lead in the last two periods), the Wolverines closed out the meet with victories at 177, 190, and heavyweight. At 190, Bill Elbin stunned Dave Mc- Daniel by pinning him at 2:11. After a scoreless, tactical first two minutes, Elbin picked McDaniel up by the arms in a "body lock", set him on the mat on his back, and ten seconds later the mat- ch was no more. -MARK BOROWSKY Women tankers sink State THE LINEUPS MICHIGAN (14-3) Wisconsin (10-8) p9 (6-6) Richard Rellford..
