Voilleyball vs. Central Michigan Tonight, 7:30 p.m. IM Building SPORTS Hockey vs. Michigan State Friday, 7:30 p.m. Yost Ice Arena The Michigan Daily Tuesday, November 11, 1986 Page 7 Norton's suspended and Red's By SCOTT SHAFFER Sometimes losing a game means more than just another notch in the loss column. This was one of those times for the Michigan hockey team. What separated Saturday's 6-4 loss to Ferris State from the Wolverines' other six losses was a fight after the game - a fight that will probably cost Michigan the services of Jeff Norton, the team's captain and top defenseman for Friday's game with Michigan State. NORTON and Ferris State's Rod Schluter were given five minute fighting penalties and game disqualifications after their respective teams engaged in a bench-clearing brawl immediately after the final buzzer. Michigan head coach Red Berenson is trying to appeal the disqualification but Central Collegiate Hockey Association Commissioner Bill Beagan was out of town yesterday and could not be reached. Normally, Berenson would not have a case because referees' calls during games are not open for debate. But since the incident occurred after the game and referee Dave Fisher did not issue the penalties until after he left the ice, Berenson feels he has a legitimate beef. "I THINK there's room for discussion because it was a matter of chaos on the ice," said Berenson. "I can understand making a call after the game, but don't give a guy a fighting penalty when he wasn't in a fight." Like everyone at Yost Arena on Saturday, Berenson has his own version of the fracas. "I asked our players what started it, and they told me Norton was speared after a whistle," he said. "He retaliated with his stick but was knocked to the ice when someone hit him from behind. He didn't have a chance to fight." As the teams skated off the ice, it escalated into a larger battle. One of the more memorable sights was Bryan Deasley pummeling one of the Bulldogs after pulling the Bulldog's jersey over his head and arms. ANOTHER issue that fuels Berenson's contention is the possibility of another party talking to Fisher and having an influence on what penalties were called. Originally Michigan's Brad Jones and Ferris' Glen Raeburn were also disqualified, but those calls were quickly reversed. "Did the ref make any calls on the observations of a third party?" Berenson asked. "If so, I would question the validity of the calls. Jones wasn't on the ice at the buzzer, so when his name was thrown in, I think it may have, came from someone else." Norton himself claims the fight arose because Ferris State was trying to intimidate the Wolverines. "I was speared twice during the game, the last time with about 12 seconds to go," he said. "Then I was cross-checked in the head at the buzzer. I used my stick to try to push myself out of there but a couple of guys jumped on top of upset me." Bulldog head coach John Perpich declined comment "because I didn't see the films." He did say that he wouldn't dispute Schluter's disqualification. Ideally, Berenson would like to show Beagan his video tapes of the fight, but since this is such an odd case, there is no formal procedure to follow.

Only a fistful of Michigan fans witnessed the Blue and Maize games, the fun-filled baseball outing at Ray Fisher Statium this past weekend that ended in a split, each team claiming two wins. The annual intrasquad games, according to baseball coach Bud Middaugh, gives his men a taste of the spring season by playing two days of doubleheaders among themselves. "IT BASICALLY allows me to move splayers around and see what I have to work with," he said. "I'm looking at technique, seeing how the new ones handle the game situation with referees." And the freshmen did sparkle. Covering first base for the Blue team was newcomer Phil Price. Price cracked at least one hit a game, while defensively he never allowed a ball to bounce by him. On the Maize's mound Saturday was Mike Grimes, also a freshman. Although losing the pitching duel to senior Greg Everson, the hurler pitched well and looks promising for the spring. "The weekend was fun but college ball is a whole different ballgame from high school," said Grimes, a Texas native. "I can relate to the pressure Jimmy (Abbott) was under last year." "As a whole," said junior Steve Finken, "the defense was pretty key all weekend, which was a major point we all needed to work on this fall." The sought-after prize for the winners was a night of pizza, but since the squads split the games, coach Middaugh picked up the tab for all. If this fall's baseball team is any reflection of what's in store for spring sports, then Michigan fans won't be disappointed. Get a taste of what life is like 1 at the top. The flight's on us.
