GIBSON, PE TR Y ENER GIZE BENGA LS: By ADAM MARTIN Despite what he labeled a not-so- strong recruiting year, hockey coach Red Berenson has plenty of good news for Michigan hockey fans. As of today, the Wolverine braintrust has signed six newcomers for the 1985- '86 season, who as Berenson put it, "should step right in and play," from day one. "THE FEELING was that it wasn't going to be a strong year," Berenson said, "but I think we got what we wan- ted." Number one on that get-list is goaltender Bob Lindgren, a US Junior League player out of Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lin- dgren impressed many stopping pucks for the St. Paul Volcans in the Juniors, and was highly sought by Berenson and Co. "Goalie was a position that had to be filled," the head coach stressed, referring to the departure of senior Mark Chiamp. Losing Chiamp to graduation left the Wolverines with only one experienced netminder, Tim Makris, the 1983-'84. Massachusetts Goalie-of-the-Year. The addition of Lindgren-after he's broken in-should make the Michigan goalten- ding arsenal solid. ANOTHER SPOT vacated by graduation was that of defenseman Mike Neff. But never fear, recruiting is here. Blue-chip defenseman Myles O'Connor, a 5-11 blue-liner from Calgary, Alberta, will also don the Maize and Blue in October, filling the void created by Neff's absence. "We felt (O'Connor) was the most sought after player in Canada," Beren- son said of his new defenseman; "he'll probably go in the first or second round (of the NHL draft)." Of all the recruits, Berenson feels O'Connor has the poten- tial to become one of those coveted players who generate success. In an effort to strengthen the defense, Michigan has also signed two other defensemen, both from the Boston area. BILLY Campbell from Westborough High and Dan Campuano from New Hampton Prep both "really wanted to play and go to school," at Michigan, ac- cording to Berenson, who anticipates both recruits will make the team. Up front, Wolverine recruiting also captured a bundle of good news. Center Todd Brost, another Calgary native, just might be a mainstay, according to Berenson. "Todd was recruited by Harvard; he'll be a pepper-pot center- man." Brost was the leading scorer for the Pentincton Knights of British Colom- bia, a tier-two Junior A team. At right wing, Billy Powers will leave New Hamshire's St. Anselem, a Division II school, to play for the Division I Wolverines. "POWERS is completely out of his element in Division II," Berenson em- phasized. Michigan grabbed Powers, a Philadelphia Flyers draft pick, before Eastern schools knew he intended to transfer, Berenson said. With the signing of the new six, the Wolverine head coach feels Michigan "essentially obtained (its) main targets." Although recruiting is a job never done as Berenson put it, the hard part lies ahead. "A group of freshmen is not going to step in and win a championship," quiped the now not-so-naive college coach. "It'll depend on how much we improve, as a program and a team." The newcomers, however, might just make some noise next season. "We took players that will make a meaningful contribution," Berenson added, "not just make the team." Chiamp ... spot will be filled 'Tigers cut CLEVELAND (AP)-Kirk Gibson Collected three hits, including a two-run bloop double to snap a fifth inning tie, 4nd Dan Petry, Bill Scherrer and Willie Ijrnandez combined on a nine-hitter yesterday as the Detroit Tigers efeated the Cleveland Indians 4-3. 'Petry, 3-1, gave up six hits while striking out two and walking one over the first six-and-two-thirds innings. kernandez came on in the eighth for $dherrer to register his third save. CLEVELAND'S Bert Blyleven, 0-2, yielded nine hits while pitching a com- plete game. t down Clev i Detroit took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Allan Trammell singled with one out, stole second and moved to third on Gibson's bloop single. Trammell scored when Lance Parrish grounded out. Cleveland tied the game in the third when Julio France was hit by a Petry, pitch with two out and scored on Mel Hall's double. THE TIGERS loaded the bases after two outs in the fifth to set up Gibson's key double. Chries Pittaro and Lou Whitaker singled before Trammell walked. Gibson, who also stole two bases, then dropped his double into eland,4-3 short left field, just inside the foul line scoring Pittaro and Whitaker for a 3-1 Tiger lead.

Within the next week or so, most of you'll be home for the better part of the next four months. Here are a few things to look for in the baseball world before the beginning of Septem- ber: " Dale Murphy will continue to strike fear in the hearts of National League pitchers. Although his present pace must slow down, this mild-mannered Mormon should "have at least 40 home runs come September 1. If Bob Hor- ner and Brad Komminsk provide strong support, Murphy could take the Triple Crown. * Juan Samuel, Philadelphia's sophomore second baseman, will be moved to the outfield. Samuel will be up- set by the move because it will ruin his chance to become the first man in history to steal 50 bases and make 50 errors in one season. w Yankee owner George Steinbrenner will fire manager Yogi Berra shortly after the All-Star Game. Lou Piniella will take over, but after he loses two of his first three Fames, Steinbrenner will drop hints that he is looking for a new skipper. Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, Bill Virdon and Lee Iacocca are all mentioned as candidates. " Dave Kingman, Oakland's DH, falls into disfavor with both management and fans after refusing to fill in at first base for an injured Bruce Bochte. "I'm paid to hit, not field," says Kong, whose .208 average is lower than his ,weight. " Fernando Valenzuela demands a trade after pitching a no-hitter but losing the game 1-0 on a four base error by Al Oliver. The loss leaves Valenzuela with a 4-8 record despite a league-leading 1.71 ERA. * A bench-clearing brawl will erupt during a Cardinals- Reds game after Joaquin Andujar and Mario Soto repeatedly hit opposing batters. I" Player-manger Pete Rose will break Ty Cobb's all- ,time hit record of 4,191 on August 21. When asked about his retirement date, Rose, hitting .248 with no homers, Lookout sports fans ... . .. baseball's summer surprises replies, "As long as I can still contribute, I'm sure the manager will be more than happy to write my name on the lineup card. I'm looking forward to hit number 5,000." " Dwight Gooden will throw a no-hitter to silence his critics. Gooden's arm was becoming questionable because he was averaging "only" eight strikeouts per nine innings. " Tiger glamor boy Kirk Gibson will be found possessing a "controlled substance" by a customs official in Canada as the Tigers arrive for a series with the Blue Jays. In an effort to replace the suspended star, Sparky moves Darrell Evans to center, Lou Whitaker to first, Lance Parrish to second and Walt Terrell to catcher. * A bench-clearing brawl will erupt during a Reds- Braves game after Mario Soto and Pascual Perez repeatedly hit opposing batters. " Tom Seaver will win the 300th game of his career. Tommy John and Don Sutton, both of whom will have ERAs in the 5.00 range, will try to become the next to reach that plateau but both will fall short. " The Mets and the Cubs will be 12 games ahead of third- place Philadelphia by the end of August. The New York- Chicago summer-long battle will have both teams' fans in a frenzy. By the time the two clubs meet for the last time in September, they will be ready to tear each other to pieces. Cub GM Dallas Green will challenge Gary Carter to a Texas Death Match after Carter refers to Green as the "man behind Chicago's choke." * George Brett and surprising Steve "Bye-Bye" Baloni. will put the Royals atop the AL West. Dan Quisenberry will once again have an outrageously high save total. " Atlanta will lead San Diego by about five games in the race to see who will get the honor of losing to the Mets or Cubs. * In baseball's best division, the AL East, the Tigers, Blue Jays and Red Sox will all enter September with realistic chances at winning 100 games. The Yankees, now managed by Geraldine Ferraro, won't be far behind. And remember.. . you heard it here first. BURNING THE MIDNIGHT- OIL ? Sutcliffe *beats Bucks PITTSBURGH (AP) - Rick Sutcliffe seattered eight hits and belted a long home run and Ryne Sandberg, last year's National League Most Valuable Player, also homered for his first run batted in of the year last night as the Chicago Cubs blanked the Pittsburgh 'irates, 5-0. Sutcliffe, 3-1, who had won 16 straight regular season games before losing his last start in Montreal, did not allow a Pittsburgh runner past second bise. He struck out seven and walked one, and also triggered a two-run third inning with a single off loser Mike Bielecki, 1-1. Bielecki contributed to his own down- fall by ill-advisedly throwing to second iase too late to nail Sutcliffe on Bob young men 16 -35 SYMBOL . ..
