MILLER "When the two schools get together you can throw out the record book," said Michigan State assistant hockey coach George Gwozdecky. Red Berenson and his players would love to do just that. Even though Michigan holds a series edge of 89-69- 3, the Spartans have won six straight and 14 of the last 15 contests. But the trend may be reversed this weekend when the two squads meet tonight at Yost Ice Arena and tomorrow night in East Lansing. "THE RECORDS are the records, and they have the recent edge," said the Wolverine head man. "It is something that is going to change. "I think we are going to be more competitive with Michigan State than we have been in the last three years, and I am hoping that will start showing this weekend." Berenson is optimistic because the Spar Spartans don't have the overpoweringl squad of past seasons. Despite playing nine freshmen, Michigan State is still a formidable opponent. The Spartans 6-1-1 record is tops in the CCHA. "I STILL respect them as possibly the top team in the league but not a team that is going to blow away the other teams night after night," said Berenson. "I think the chemistry of their team has changed. You just don't take nine top players out of a team without affecting their play." The best of the Spartan freshmen is center Joe Murphy, who leads the team in scoring with nine goals and six assists. Other freshmen making important contributions are def en- semen Brad Hamilton and Chris Luongo. While there are many new faces on the team, the goalies continue to be the backbone of the Spartans' suc- cess. "We have been as good as our goaltending," said Michigan State coach Ron Mason. "It has been very consistent." . THE JUNIOR tandem of Bob Essensa and Norm Foster is the best duo in college hockey. Essensa is the top goalie in the CCHA with a goals against average of 2.50 and Foster is close behind with a 3.36 goals against, which places him third in the league. Defensively the Spartans are not as good as the goalies' numbers would indicate. "Defensively we have not been truly outstanding. The defense has been average because the players are so young," said Mason. Team captain Don McSween is the anchor on the blue line. "Don has been a real team leader," said Mason. Senior Brad Beck adds additional stability to the defense. MICHIGAN STATE hopes to utilize its talent to have a complete team ef- fort. "We are not really pleased with our performance as a team, and I tans'streak know this sounds surprising," said year," commented Berenson. "It is not like we are hoping to come up to a Gwozdecky.

With two consecutive wins (one of them in the conference), their hitting errors cut in half and a strong mental game, the Wolverines expect a close battle from both Northwestern and Iowa this weekend in Ann Arbor. "WE'RE WINNING now," said head coach Barb Canning. "More than ever, our starting lineup is really playing together as a team." Canning said the Wolverines, who are now 13-14, 3-8 in the conference, owe their successes to individual im- provements in hitting and emotional concentration.. "In the last couple of weeks, we've reduced our errors." Canning said. "Jennifer Hickman in improving fast and Marie Ann Davidson is really ef- fective in the setting position."

Against Iowa, the Wolverines will concentrate on playing their own game. "We'll rely mostly on our own abilities.

MARTIN Canadian power Etobicoke Univer- sity takes on the University of Michigan's womens swim team in a match-up of top ten team versus Big Ten team. For the 1985-86 season the Maize and Blue have only 14 swimmers on their roster as opposed to the 24 that Etobicoke and most universities carry. "WE ARE a very, very small team. From the standpoint of depth we don't have any," said Michigan head coach Jim Richardson. "It will be difficult to be competitive across the boards but we will have our moments.' Etobicoke, winner of six of the last seven short- and long-course national championships in womens swimming, will be a very tough opponent for the *hard-working Wolverines. "I don't want to say this is going to be a character-building year for us. We are going to work hard, swim fast and win the ones we can," Richardson said. "We are not a powerhouse, but we are going to try to have a Scott Skiles jailed again EAST LANSING (UPI) - Michigan State University basketball star Scott Skiles - convicted earlier this year of impaired driving and marijuana possession - was temporarily suspended yesterday following an arrest for another drinking driving powerhouse attitude.
