MILLER A weekend series at Ferris State appears enticing to most hockey teams. After all, who could be scared of the Bulldogs? The team finished at he bottom of the CCHA standings last eason and is again predicted to be the league doormat. However, Michigan coach Red Berenson can not take the Bulldogs lightly. Last year the Bulldogs swept a series at home from the Wolverines by scores of 9-7 and 9-0 and it turned around both teams' seasons. "It was a down weekend for us (last year)," said Berenson. "Ferris (after playing us) then proceeded to lose 12 in a row. kit was a real turning point for both eams." WHILE THIS year's matches may not turn around anybody's season, a couple of victories would give Michigan some confidence on the road and some revenge. "The seniors and the upper- classmen definitely feel there is some revenge involved," said Berenson. "We know we have to go there with a better feeling than we had last year. We don't need to start the season off like that." Despite the Bulldogs lowly ranking, the squad is much improved. "We are young and inexperienced but we are better than last year," said coach Dick Bertrand. "There is a new attitude on our team. We will take our lumps this year to gain more game experience." BERTRAND IS looking to the future by playing 13 freshman in his lineup, many of which are already making solid contributions. Freshman goaltenders Dave Shar- pe and Glen Raeburn performed well in last weekend's 4-3 and 5-3 losses to Bowling Green. Sharpe made 30 saves and gave up only one goal after replacing Raeburn in game one. Sharpe will start against the Wolverines, but Bertrand likes both his goalies. "They are pretty equal technically," said Bertrand. "I am looking for them to make their mark down the road. With experience I hope one of them can develop into a dominating goaltender." OTHER FRESHMAN contributors include defenseman Dean Davis, cen- ter Mike Chighisola and left wing Murray Winnicki. Having a young squad does have some drawbacks. "We have very little discipline," said Bertrand. "That got us into trouble against Bowling Green. They killed us on the power play." Berenson knows that his squad must cause mistakes in order to win. "We have to put pressure on them," commented Michigan's head man "We can create breakdowns." TWO PLAYERS the Wolverines will shadow closely are Ferris State's ver- sion of the Van Arsdale brothers, the Lowdens. The identical twins led the Bulldogs in scoring last season. Paul had 23 goals and 32 assists while Peter had 21 goals and 26 assists. The Lowdens already have six points bet- ween them this year. Both Wolverine goalkeepers will get a chance to stop the Lowdens. Sophomore Tim Makris will start tonight and freshman Bob Lindgren tomorrow. Berenson plans to alter- nate his goalies for the foreseeable future. "I only would consider changing goalies if one is especially cold," said Berenson. "We want the goalies and the team to be comfor- table with each other." Freshman defenseman Dan Capuano and sophomore left wing Sean Baker will not see action this weekend. Capuano has a bad shoulder and Baker has a bad knee. They will be replaced in the lineup by junior Bruce Macnab and senior Bill Brauer. Spikers' new look goes to war By DEBBIE deFRANCES This is the story of unrequited love. The characters include, weary and worn ,Michigan coach Barb Canning, her struggling volleyball team and the seemingly unattainable winning record. THE EPIC begins with Michigan's players. They love volleyball, no they worship it. But they can't get what they want from it-a winning record. Their heartaches have been rewarded with a 9-10 record, 1-5 in conference. But, this weekend the players have a chance to raise their record and their spirits as they face two of the Big Ten's toughest teams, Illinois and Purdue. As the plot has developed, Ohe Wolverines have been fighting the frustration of emotional and physical pains. Coach Barb Canning said that her team's greatest defeat has been its lack of on-court con- centration. "Each game, every other player has something wrong mentally or physically," said Canning. "At any given Cnoment, one individual could playing poorly and psyche themselves out of the game." DESPITE three losses last week, Canning feels her team, with a new lineup, is constan- tly improving. "I think part of our problem Kunze may be that we keep changing ... earns st our lineup becuase of weaknesses," said Canning. "But I can see us im- proving every game." Michigan will try out its new starting six in- cluding captain Lisa Vahi, Andrea Williams, Mari Ann Davidson, Karyn Kunzelman, Jayne Hick- man and Jenny Hickman, on Illinois tonight. THE FIGHTIN' Illini (26-0, 5-0) are in first place in the Big Ten and are ranked eighth in the nation. Canning feels that Illinois works well together as a team and is very aggressive. "They (the Illini) are a tall and strong team. But they are inconsistent and beatable," said Canning. Illinois .head coach Mike Hebert has not seen Michigan play this season, but expects a tough match. "I've been following Michigan's scores and they're pretty impressive," said Hebert. "We ususally tend to work on our offense, but I ex- pect we'll see some com- petition." HEBERT said that his team has "excellent chemistry," but that there are not one or two stand-outs. He did say that a couple of key Illini players to watch are team setter Disa Johnson, and middle blockers Mary Eggers and Denise Fracaro. Johnson, a sophomore, is among the top Big Ten players in both hitting statistics and assists per game. Eggers is one of the best blockers in the conference. After Illinois leaves the home of the Wolverines, Purdue steps into Ann Arbor tomorrow night for heated court action with Michigan. Purdue, whose only loss is to the Illini, is chock full. of individual talent. Its setter, Maryanne Smith was last year's Big Ten Most Valuable Player and earned a spot on the All-America team. Blockers, Lisa Reich and Kim Corwin, were on the Junior National team and All-Big Ten recipient last season. COACH Carol Dewey said her 14-2, 4-1 squad will "concentrate on executing our offense," Dewey said her team has confidence but needs to win all the rest of its Big Ten matches for a chance at the title. Canning said that the Boilermakers are not defensively strong and that the Wolverines will work to exploit that and Purdue's offensive incon- sistency. Canning feels that her squad is well-prepared for this weekend's pair of matches and hopes that the final chapters of this season have a happy en- ding. "We worked hard and play really well in prac- tice. Then when we're out on court, things go wrong," Canning said. "We're at the point now, where we're decided that we've taught them all we can in terms of being emotionally in the game. They're on their own now," Canning said. Whatever the outcome of Michigan's match-ups with the two top conference teams, the Wolverines hope their previous struggles will not become a "classic" read by many volleyball squads.

MARTIN After two strong showings and one victory last week against tough Nor- thwestern and Purdue teams the Michigan field hockey team is pum- ed and ready for action. This eekend it faces the number-one ranked Wildcats for the second time in as many weeks, and then take on Ohio State. First the Maize and Blue play the Buckeyes, a team that has also been bitten by the injury bug this season. "The fact that Michigan has had to visit every emergency room in the Big Ten I can appreciate, I have four players on crutches myself," said hio State head coach Harriet eynolds. LAST time these two teams met, the Buckeyes escaped with a 2-0 victory. However, it was on the heels of the 14- o shellacking at the hands of Iowa and the mood of the Michigan team was less than euphoric at the time. "We have no qualms with Ohio State," said assistant coach Andrea Wickerham. "We should've beaten them down there. We know we can Plat Ohio State and we're not afraid of them." The last time the Wolverines faced the Wildcats they lost 4-0 despite an extraordinary defensive effort by Goalie Maryann Bell and company. They only allowed four goals despite 41 shots on goal and Northwestern scored on only one of their 22 penalty corners. "THEY played exceptionally well against us, a remarkable game. The challenge would be for them to do it again," said Nancy Stevens North- western head coach. She fears her team might be looking past Michigan to its big game versus Iowa next week. "A coach must help her players to focus on the task at hand. That's what is good about con- ference play, everything counts. You don't get more points for beating Iowa." Wickerman said, "The kids feel Northwestern is beatable. They are the only undefeated team in the coun- try. That gives us a little added incen- tive." This extra incentive plus the absen- ce of Northwestern's star player Jen- nifer Averill due to a previous com- mitment to the U.S. National Team should make for a close game. "No, I don't play Griddes," Ingrid told Bryant Gumbel. "That would be supporting the capitalist mentality of winning food at the expense of star- ving millions across the globe." "Well, I'm playing," Willard Scott said. "I happen to know that 106-year- old Jimmy Trevins from Dubuque drops off his Gridde picks every week."
