Today when the Wolverines open against Virginia Tech intheChamindade Hawaian Tournament, the wave might collapse around itself, but it's more likely to surge and wipe out everything in its path. Chaminade's Silverswords - the club that knocked off Ralph Sampson and Virginia, Louisville and Southern Methodist each of the last three years - won't get a. chance to hex the Wolverines with their magic until the second round. CHAMINADE opens against Jack The Virginia Tech game will be broadcast live at 11:00 p.m. on WAAM (1600 AM) and WUOM (91.7 FM) and on tape delay on PASS tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. Michigan's second game will be broadcast on PASS Sunday at 8:00. Hartman's Kansas State Wildcats (14- 14 last year), so a Michigan- Chaminade clash would only occur if the two both won or lost their first game. Playing the Silverswords isn't Michigan head coach Bill Frieder's idea of a pleasure trip to Hawaii. "The local people have this joke about us," said Frieder. "They tell their people' they'll beat the big teams with Polynesian Paralysis, so you gotta be ready to fight." The Wolverines must first fight the Virginia Tech Hokies, a 1984-85 NCAA Tournament first round loser. The head Hokie says the game may be a one-sided brawl. "WE DON'T match up very well with Michigan," said Tech coach Charles Moir. "We only have three kids with real experience. After that, we're very inexperienced and will have to count on the younger players."~ Sharpshooting guard Del Curry (18.2 ppg in 84-85) and forwards Bob- by Beecher (6-9, 220 pounds) and Keith Colbert (6-6, 190) are the three experienced Hokies Moir mentioned. They lost 118-assist guard Al Young, and last year's leading score.r (18.5 ppg) Perry Young. Curry, a pre- season All-America, will supply much of Tech's offense. "We have speed and quickness on our side, but (Michigan) is much bigger," Moir said. "I'm very con- cerned about our lack of experience up the middle." EXPERIENCE doesn't concern Frieder. Four seniors - Roy Tarpley, Butch Wade, Richard Rellford, and Robert Henderson - lead a devastating Michigan front line, and with defensive specialist Gary Grant and Antoine Joubert in the backcourt, the Wolverines may drown the Hokies. Injuries appear to be the one ripple in an otherwise calm Michigan pond. Tarpley, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee a few weeks ago, is only at 90 percent and still weak, according to Frieder. Senior Garde Thompson, the Wolverines' third guard, can play only at 80 percent. "I'm concerned because we've had so many injuries," Frieder said. "We've had our starting unit on the s1° EVERY TUESDAY ALL SEATS 50 MONDAY THRU FRIDAY SAT UNTIL.1 30PM SUN FIRST SH-OW' ONLY floor (for practice) only six times sin- ce October 15. Right now, we're a lot farther behind than we were at this time last year." MICHIGAN might also have to worry about brain waves. Two years ago, the Wolverines held off Virginia Tech in the NIT Tournament on two Joubert free throws in the final secon- ds, in a game both clubs could easily have won. The Hokies of two years. ago may have a psychologicalredge. "There'll definitely be a revenge factor," said Frieder. "We've got to be ready and respect them." More importantly, the Wolverines will have to respect their own efforts. According to power forward Butch Wade, defense is Michigan's chief problem thus far. "We tend to have defensive lapses, so we have to get stronger on defense," he said. "EVERYBODY is like a step slow on getting in position," added 6-3 guard Gary Grant. According to Frieder, Michigan's conversion from offense to defense is also weak at this time, so the Wolverine transition might look a lit- tle choppy. Still, Virginia Tech's size and inex- perience, Kansas State's eight new faces, and Chaminade's loss of five seniors, three of whom averaged double figures last season may mean smooth sailing for Michigan.

Huron 761-8845 ANN ARBOR By ADAM OCHLIS With Lake Superior State College posting a 2-4 record at home and Michigan still looking for its first road victory of the season, this weekend's hockey series at the Norris Center in Sault Ste. Marie could well be one of frustration and ineptitude. The two teams have not been devasted by their problems however. Lake Superior currently stands third in the CCHA standings with a 6-5-1 mark, although being swept at home by Ohio State and an underrated yet un-. proven Ferris State team did not help their cause. THE WOLVERINES meanwhile, are tied for fifth in the conference and still looking for their first road win since February 16 when they defeated Ohio State in Columbus. Both the Soo Lakers' Frank Anzalone and Michigan's Red Berenson realize the importance of the weekend. "Every weekend is a big weekend, but it will be especially important this weekend that we get off to a good start on our road trip since we have seven of our next eight games on the road," said Berenson. "WE'RE GAINING confidence and determination," added Michigan's second year head coach. "Plus there is a real challenge that (the players) know it's not a split weekend." Both games are in "the Soo." Anzalone has no pity for the Wolverines and their troubles. "As god is my judge, I didn't even know Michigan hadn't won on the road," said Anzalone. "I don't even look at that. It doesn't concern me. U of M is coming here to play the best hockey they're capable of. They're very con- fident of what they can do and we have to start playing better on our home ice." LAKE SUPERIOR'S problems this season show up clearly in the statistics: the Soo Lakers do not score enough goals. With only 42 goals scored as a team, only stellar defensive play and great goaltending from both Joe Shawhan and Randy Exelby have kept them up in the standings. While four players share Lake Superior's team lead in points with 10, Michigan has seven players with. at least that many. "We have to start scoring more goals," said a frustrated Anzalone. "Until our offense gets totally in gear we're going to continue to struggle. "We have a theory that when we don't have puck, we all become defensemen, and that's probably why we've had so much success defensively. But it sure isn't helping us score any goals. The thing that could help us is if Michigan left their goalies home." EVEN MORE discouraging is that the Lakers have some proven offensive players in left wingers Nick Palumbo (14-31-45 last year), Scott Johnson (21-23-44) and right winger Keith Martin (23-20-43). Anzalone is still looking for answers. "We just can't score," he said. "We outplayed Ferris both nights, and we outshot them both nights, but they scored a few goals on their opportunities, and we scored none on our many." BERENSON insists that while winning the games is im- portant, playing well up north is the key. "I think this will be a real building weekend for us if we can go up there and win one or both of those games," said Berenson. "Even if we don't win the games but play well, I think we'll gain some confidence. If we go up and play poorly and lose then we're right back where we are now and still wondering if we can win on the road. "I really think we can go up and play well and win some games," said the always optimistic Wolverine head man. The Wolverines will still be without the services of high scoring forward Tom Stiles who is out with a shoulder problem, defenseman Dan Capuano (shoulder) and left wiinger John Bjorkman (mononucleosis).
