Leading 4-3 entering the final period in the opener, the Wolverines yielded two goals in the first three minutes, and went on to lose 6-4. Michigan bounced back with a 7-4 win Saturday. THE FLAMES caught fire early in Friday's third period, and the Wolverines got burned. Paul Tory batted a rebound past Michigan goalie Tim Makris to tie the score at 2:16, and 29 seconds later Flame captain Mike Merch put Illinois- Chicago ahead for good. "THOSE TWO quick goals gave them a life," said Michigan coach Red Berenson. "They took it to us the rest of the period." The rest of the period was a study in frustration for Michigan as it tried to come back. A Wolverine power play late in the frame was one of the worst ever, as the Flames eirectively forechecked, keeping the puck in Michigan's end almost the entire penalty. Illinois-Chicago outshot Michigan, 3-0, while shorthanded. "Nobody seemed to want the puck," said Michigan defenseman Myles O'Connor. "Nobody wanted to take control out there. ' "I THINK we were just expecting to beat them. We were 4-0 in our Daily Photo by JOHN MUNSON building, and everybody was talking Sophomore wing Brad McCaughey fires the puck at Illinois-Chicago goalie Brad Ryan. McCaughey had one 'Sweep, sweep.' We should have been goal and three assists in the weekend split with the Flames, in which the Wolverines lost Friday, 6-4, and won concerned with one period at a time. I Saturday, 7-4. think we were just looking ahead to a victory." The third period collapse may have been caused by "a lack of confiden- ce," said senior forward Chris Seychel. "We're a lot better than we think we are." Illinois-Chicago was not more con- fident than Michigan, but it was cer- tainly more emotional. "You can't play college athletics without emotion," said UIC coach Val Belmonte. "In the third period, we really came out determined to win. "I THOUGHT our forechecking worked very well," Belmonte said. "It allowed us to bottle Michigan up in its own end and force their defen- semen to make mistakes." There was no mistaking the dif- ference in Michigan's intensity on Saturday. The power play worked well, as the Wolverines converted on five of 11 manpower-advantage op- portunities in the series. Sophomore defenseman Jeff Norton scored two goals for the second straight game. "Our team play was better tonight," said Berenson after the second game. "We had more effort from more players. I thought we looked more like a team tonight." MICHIGAN'S defense played one of its best games of the season, despite using only five players due to injuries. Illinois-Chicago managed just 21 shots on net in the game, and only three in the second period. The strong defen- sive play helped freshman goalie Bob Lindgren, as he was rarely tested. "From the forwards to the defen- semen to the goalie, it was a much better defensive game," said center Todd Brost. "We were picking guys up well," said defenseman Todd Carlile. "The forwards helped out a great deal coming back. That makes our job a lot easier." NORTON, who was struggling defensively, had a superb all-around game. "That was the best game I've ever seen him play in his life," said Seychel. "Yes, I think it definitely was my best game," said Norton. "I've been in a sophomore slump, and hopefully I'm starting to break out of it." Breaking with tradition, Berenson moved Norton to* left wing on the power play, and put Seychel at the point. Norton took advantage of the switch, scoring three power play goals in the series. "I'VE BEEN playing forward most of my life," the Acton, Mass. native said. "It's nice to get back up there." The win pushed Michigan back up in the CCHA standings. The Wolverines are currently tied for fifth with Illinois-Chicago and Ohio State, and they trail fourth place Ferris State by 'ust one oint.

LIBERTY (2 Als. off State) 663-6771 Blue bouy BY JOE EWING Special to the Daily MINNEAPOLIS - Even if Michigan doesn't win the Big Ten title and go to the Rose Bowl, the - Wolverines still should be playing someplace warm on New Year's Day. Representatives from many of the post-season bowl games have been keeping close tabs on the Wolverines all season and with the way things look, Bo Schembechler and company could be making a choice between a couple of different post-season contests when bids are extended this Saturday. SELECTION committee members from the Cot- ton and Sugar Bowls, which with the Orange and Rose Bowl make up the four major post-season con- tests, have been regulars the past several weeks at Michigan games and were anxious to talk to Schembechler after his team blew out Minnesota on id for top I Saturday. A represenative from the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl, which like the big four is played on January 1, was also on hand, as were delegates from the Florida Citrus, Cherry, Liberty, All-American and Holiday Bowls. If the Wolverines can beat Ohio State this weekend, it's likely they will be spending New Year's in either Dallas or New Orleans. "THIS MICHIGAN team is tough," said Ed Czekaj, a rep. for the Cotton Bowl which is played in Dallas, Texas. "They're the best I've seen this year." The Cotton Bowl pits the Southwest Conference champion against an at large team. According to Czekaj the 15-man selection committee for the at large team will meet tomorrow morning in Dallas to make it's top two choices. bowl bi~ds The Wolverines are also on the list of finalists for an at large bid at the Sugar Bowl, which is played in New Orleans against Southeastern Conference's top team. According to delegate Henry Boldenheim, the Sugar Bowl has representatives looking at Penn. State, Ohio State and Iowa as well as the Wolverines. Boldenheim would not comment on when this week the final decision would be made. "The people who are at the schools know what's going on," Boldenheim said. "I'd rather not say anything about it just now." However, Michigan has made no deals with anyone just yet. "We have no deals and no committments right now," said Michigan Athletic Director Doni Canham. "We have no contracts with anybody."

THE TEAM'S other co-captain, Kevin Hill, reigned supreme in the 167 pound class by defeating Purdue's Joe Urso, 3-1. In the 134 division, third ranked John Fisher decisioned Dan Matauch of Michigan State 7-6. Michigan head coach Dale Bahr praised Fisher after the match, "John was voted Outstanding Freshman in the Nation last year and today he picked up right where he left off." WHILE THE performances of veterans Trost, Hill and Fisher were expected, Bahr received a very pleasant surprise from the victory of freshman Joe Pantaleo in the 158 pound class. Pantaleo beat the second ranked 158 pounder in the nation, Dave Lilovich of Purdue. "You never hope a freshman can help immediately. But when they do, it's a tremendous plus. Joe's perfor- mance makes us a lot tougher in the middle weights," said Bahr. Based on Saturday's performance, the Wolverines most solid unit has to be their 190 pound wrestlers. Michigan placed first, second and fourth in that division, with Scott Rechsteiner (ranked fourth in the nation) pinning fellow Wolverine Jerry Curby in the finals. The two other Wolverine winners were William Waters (118 class) and Rickey Moore (142). Bahr feels that his team dominated the action in Ypsianti, "Had team scores been kept, we definitely would have won the tournament. Purdue and Michigan State were far behind." opposition Although the Wolverines should celebrate their outstanding perfor- mance on Saturday, they won't have much time in which to do so. Next Saturday and Sunday the grapplers will travel to Dayton for the Ohio Open. GUITAR REPAIRS " Expert Service . Reasonable Rates ANN ARBOR MUSIC MART 336 S.
