The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 27, 1986- Page 11 Icers split two with Ohio State BY PETE STEINERT In a battle between two teams struggling to put a hault to their losing ways, Michigan and Ohio State played to a draw, splitting last weekend's series at Yost Ice Arena. The Wolverines (2-4) breezed to an 8-2 win in the opener thanks to five power -play goals, but Ohio State (1-4-1) retaliated the next night and won in overtime, 4-3. "It's something that both Michigan and us needed," said Buckeye head coach Jerry Welsh. "We both got a win this weekend. I think that's good for both teams." AFTER playing a fairly even first period Friday night that saw Michigan skate off with a 2-1 lead, the Wolverines dominated the final two frames. Ohio State was hit with a delay of game penalty to start the second period because they were late returning to the ice after intermission. Michigan was quick to take advantage of the man advantage when defenseman Jeff Norton scored his fourth goal of the season 35 seconds into the period when he knocked in his own rebound. The Wolverines went on to score three more times before the period was over, including two power-play goals by Brad McCaughey, his second and third of the year. McCAUGHEY'S second goal was probably the nicest of the weekend. Todd Brost took the puck just inside the Buckeyes' left blue line, made a cross rink pass to Brad Jones who immediatley fed the junior right wing in front of goalie Todd Fanning. "We got more people hustling on our power play," McCaughey said after Friday's win. "Last year we'd all just kind of stand around and wait for someone to do something. This year we've got everyone skating, and I think we have a much better power play." Clearly, the star of Friday night's game was Jones. The senior center accounted for two goals and four assists. "It's by far the best game I've played, and probably the best game the team has played this year," he said. "I had a good feeling going into this whole week of practice." "THERE'S no question he's a great college talent," said Michigan head coach Red Berenson, "and anytime he plays less than that, I'm disappointed in him. I liked the way he skated tonight - he was really flying out there." For the Buckeyes it was a night filled with frustration, which climaxed when goalie Roger Beedon suffered a concussion midway through the second period on what Welsh called "a very cheap shot" by Mike Cusack. Beedon left the crease to go after a loose puck, and Cusack cross- checked him from behind, sending the goalie sprawling to the ice. Beedon did not see action the rest of the series. OHIO STATE was able to salvage some revenge in the second game with an improved effort that saw them fire 45 shots at Glen Neary to the Wolverines' 21. "Our overall defensive game is not as good as it should be," Berenson said. "You find that with good young players because they're usually good offensively, and they're not as skilled defensively." The Buckeyes won the game with a makeshift lineup as Welsh benched co-captain Joe Tracy and juggled his lineup from the previous night. "IT'S GOOD for us to know that the journeymen and the regular kind of guys can go up and down the wing and still play winning hockey," Welsh said, "and it might just slap some of the guys in the face that have been a little complacent. "When you make a move like that and you win, you feel like a million dollars. When you lose, you really take the heat for it." Despite the lopsided shot totals, Michigan kept the game close behind Neary's solid effort in goal. IT EVEN appeared that the Wolverines would be able to pull the game out when freshman center Mike Moes tied the game on a breakaway at 15:39 of the third period with Jones in the penalty box. It was Moes' first collegiate goal. However, Ohio State carried the play in overtime, keeping the puck, in Michigan's end, and they put the game away when Andy Forcey scored at the 4:27 mark of sudden death. "It was too far to jump on so I went out and hit it with my stick right to one of the open men," Neary said, "and he just went around and popped it in." The Burlington, Vt. native suffered his second straight overtime loss in goal. "We can't be satisfied with one win each weekend," said Brost. "Maybe we were living off the 8-2 win and just saying, 'Well, we'll float through this one,' and I don't think you can do that." The loss ruined another fine effort by Jones, who scored two power-play goals in the second period, 31 seconds apart, to give him a season total of seven. He had eight points in the series.

Bears blitz the Lions, 13-7 CHICAGO (AP) - Detroit quarterback Eric Hipple forgot to get Wilbur Marshall's license plate number after the Chicago linebacker forced the fumble that led to the game's only touchdown. Marshall returned a fumble 12 yards for a first-quarter score yesterday to lead the Super Bowl champion Bears to a 13-7 NFL victory over the Lions. 14I NEVER thought something ,like that would happen," -Marshall said. 9 GRIDDE PICKS Bo and the gang are looking to double their fun with double the punishment on double the normal number of quarterbacks.

That left me free. It was a tough hit, but I kept my eyes open. "I saw the ball pop free and I kept pressing after it. I thought I'd get tackled and I did, but not until I got to the one-yard line." HIPPLE SAT on the field stunned after the play. , "I got hit by a car when I was a kid," Hipple said, "and that's what it felt like." Bear coach Mike Ditka called Marshall's play "outstanding." "He felt he had to do something extra with Mike (Singletary) out of there," Ditka said. SINGLETARY was kept out of the game because of a groin injury suffered in last week's 23-7 loss at Minnesota. "Me and Otis (Wilson) talked about it," Marshall said. "We decided with Mike out of there we had to pick up the pace and fire up the defense." Quarterback Jim McMahon, who missed last week's 23-7 loss at Minnesota because of various injuries, returned to action to run his string to 22 straight Bear victories in games he has started.
