In spite of playing one of its best games fundamentally, the Michigan hockey team didn't improve its CCHA playoff position losing a 4-3 thriller last night to Lake Superior at the North Center. BOTH TEAMS played extremely well If not for some clutch goaltending at both ends, the scores would have been doubled. The teams skated to a 1-1 deadlock in the first period, due mostly to the effor- ts of Michigan goaltender Mark Chiamp,as the Wolverines were out shot 13-5. "Chiamp was exceptionally sharp in the first period," said head coach Red Berenson. "Our defense had a little lap- se and he came up with the big saves." THE WOLVERINES opened up the scoring at 13:19 in the first period. Senior Ray Dries picked up a loose puck all alone in the slot and didn't stop to say thank you before firing it past shocked Lake Superior goalie Randy Exelby. Laker center Jim Roque brought his team right back, lacing a slap shot on the ice beating Chiamp to the left side to close out the scoring for the first period. "Right there from the end of the first we dominated the game," said Beren- son. "We just didn't finish the plays well." THE LAKERS didn't have that problem, however, and the fireworks began early in the second period. Alan Butler gave the Lakers a 2-1 lead on a breakaway shot past Chiamp's right side. Lake Superior extended their lead at 5:24 as Chiamp was caught going the other way on a Craig Hewson wrist shot, which trickled through the senior's legs. MICHIGAN came back at 7:22, as Ray Dries, ever the opportunist, scooped up another loose puck and fired for an unassisted goal. "Everyone was just standing around," said Dries. "I thought the whistle must have blown or something." The Lakers' Scott Thompson made the score 4-2 at 8:42, and, after a wild nine minutes, the teams settled down to some mild uneventful hockey. sistent as he's been all season. en o uhFinally, after a 19-minute scoreless scrap, Berenson was forced to take a risk that blew up on him.

The post-game attitude was'a positive one for the Wolverines. "THE WHOLE team is starting to come together now," said senior defen- seman Mike Neff. "Tonight we played well enough to win, it was just a matter of a few breaks." "Things are starting to click now where it didn't click earlier in the year," said Dries. Berenson summed it up. "That was as good a road game as I can remem- ber. It was just a lack of finish around the net." The loss drops Michigan to 9-17-1 in the CCHA, and boosts second-place Lake Superior to 19-10. The two teams will square off again tonight at Sault. Ste. Marie. FIRST PERIOD Scoring: 1. M-Dries (Kobylarz, May) 13:19; 1. LSS-Roque (Cote, Hurt) 16:15.

If strength, speed and determination are all it takes to become a legendary runner, then some members of the women's track team have a head start on their claim to fame. The women will have an opportunity to display their talents in front of a home crowd today at the Wolverine- Nike Open in the Track and Tennis Building. ROOKIE coach James Henry said his team should be near its peak in today's meet. "We're just coming off our strength training with weights, so I ex- pect good things," Henry said. Junior co-captain Sue Schroeder agrees that the emphasis on building up strength early in the season has helped her progress. "The weights have helped a lot. Without that, we wouldn't have a base to work from," she said. Apparently the strength workouts have proved successful for Schroeder because, in the last two weekends, she has set meet and school records for the 1500-meter run as well as qualifying for the NCAA Championships in both the 1500-meter and 3000-meters. SCHROEDER isn't the only long distance runner performing well these days. "Cathy Schmidt, who qualified for Nationals in the 800-meter run, should also be running well at this meet," Henry said. Although many of the team mem- bers, including Deidre Bradley, Angie Hafner and Dawn McGinnis, have been Dlacing in their events, junior Cathy team's optimism stems from a united effort and a coach who keeps an eye on everyone's progress. "(Coach Henry) is doing a really good job," said Schmidt. "Although the distance runners, the field events and the sprinters all train separately, he tries to make sure he knows what everyone is doing. That's good. The Wolverines hope that that at- titude will help them on their track toward the NCAA championships in March. Auburn hoop couch resigns AUBURN, Ala (AP)-Auburn basketball coach Sonny Smith announ- ced yesterday that he is resigning at the end of the season to enter the oil business. Smith acknowledged at a news con- ference that he has passed out at several Auburn games this season, but he said his health played no part in his decision to resign. INSTEAD, Smith said he had a business opportunity "that was too good to pass up." Auburn Athletic Director Pat Dye expressed disappointment. "We certainly hate to see Sonny leave our program, but we all want what is best for him," Dye said. "This was no quick or easy decision on his part. He has agonized over it for some time and if this is what Sonny thinks is best, we support him in his decision. EVI M / Q .' GOT ERYTHING? NOT QUITE. YOU NEED THE ICHIGAN DAILY TO BE FULLY PREPARED.
