Most stones are just layers of condensed sediment. But every once in a while, if you look hard enough, you'll come across a quartz crystal, an emerald, or even a diamond. When Michigan hockey coach Red Berenson picked up forward Don Stone last year, he found a gem. "I remember recruiting Don in December of his senior year," recalled Berenson. "I really hadn't been too impressed. He's a quiet, methodical player who plays in the shadows of those around him. He certainly didn't make me jump out of my seat, like certain recruits do. "I'm watching him play Junior A and saying to myself, 'Who's Don Stone?' Then I checkathe stats and he has four or five points for the game and he's leading the league in scoring! The guy obviously knows how to play." Michigan goalie Warren Sharples recently joked about Stone's place on the team. "In practice, 'Hound' can't hit the side of a barn," teases Sharples. "I don't think he could hit the ocean if he tried. He gets nothing on me, let alone past me!" Despite his inability to score on his own goalie, Stone ranks fourth on the Michigan squad in scoring with 15 goals and 17 assists Only two Central Collegiate Hockey Association rookies, Ferris State's John dePourcq (37) and Michigan State's Sean Heaphy (30), have scored more league points than Stone (27). Stone also scores goals in the clutch. His seven power-play goals and two game-winners attest to that. Stone racked up 99 points last season with the Detroit Falcons and was named to the North American Junior Hockey League's first all-star team. In 1985-86, the Utica, Michigan native tallied 122 points with the Compuware Midget Minors. Despite carrying a big stick, Stone remains quiet both on and off the ice. "I don't really have much to say," said Stone. lyfor M back to his natural position in the middle, but the shift in roles stifled Stone's production.Now back on the wing, with playmaker- captain Todd Brost centering and high-scoring senior Billy Powers on the right side, Stone is once again adding to his point total. "Coach sets up our lines so that linemates complement one another," said the soft-spoken Powers. "Brostie is great at setting guys up, and it's my role and Don's role to score goals. Don's: got a great knack for putting the puck home. 'I remember recruiting Don in December of his senior year. I really hadn't been too impressed. He's a quiet, methodical player who plays in the shadows of those around him. He certainly didn't make me jump out of my seat, like certain recruits do.' -Michigan Hockey coach Red Berenson "I appreciate the attention, but I've got a quiet personality. I just want to play hockey and take advantage of the academics at Michigan." At 5-10, 165-pounds, Stone does not drum up visions of the muscular, sculpted statues of Michelangelo. In addition to lacking size, he is also without the breakaway speed which enables most players of Stone's stature to succeed at the college level. Recruited as a center, Stone has seen most of his action as a Wolverine at left-wing. For a short spurt in midseason, Berenson moved him T1 n p a c a in a th th Daily Photo by ROBINILOZNAK Rookie sensation Don Stone has emerged as one of Michigan's main scoring threats this season. The left-winger is fourth on the team in scoring with 32 points. M' spikei By ADAM BENSON The Michigan men's volleyball club has all the reason in the world to feel good about their organiza- tion. After winning the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Associa- tion championship last season, the team has continued to play well this season, starting off the year with a 6-0 record. Last weekend, Michigan defeated arch-rival Notre Dame and the Uni- versity of Windsor, where volley- ball is a varsity sport. Unfortunately, the club has more responsibilities than its on the court performance. Since it is a club sport, the funds are limited. "We have to do most of the scheduling ourselves, and we take care of administrative duties," said club vice president Dave Glaser. "(The Michigan athletic depart- ment) is pretty cooperative as long as deadlines are met," said Tony Rodriguez. "We get money from donations, an open tournament in December, parents, and hopefully some corporate sponsorship from Parke-Davis." The team distributes fliers in the dorms and libraries to get the atten- tion of potential players. "You hope to have a good freshman class or find someone that's 6-3 and takes an interest in the sport," said head coach Peg McCarthy. NATIONAL AUDITION TOUR for sin gersdancers, musicians, magicians.

"We have a lot of balance. I've got some excel- lent centers, and a real good com- bination of experience and youth," said McCarthy. Many players distinguished themselves before coming to Michigan. Glaser, Jeff Timberlake, John Basey, and Bill Fink all played on Junior Olympic teams, while Mark Burks starred in the United States Volleyball Associa- tion national tournament. With a talented squad assembled, McCarthy hopes that the team will go undefeated and move on to the National Club Tournament hosted by Maryland. The team, however, is still cautious about their chances of playing in the post-season tourna- ment, as starters Jin Kim and Scott idversity Fitzgerald have been lost for an in- definite period due to injuries. There is also the financial problem. Michigan was invited to the tour- nament last year, but had to decline because they could not afford to travel to the tourney site in Texas. This year, the players hope that only poor performances, not lack of funds, will disrupt this season's ef- forts. "We'll be there this year," promised Glaser. 763-1107 U E JC hat's why we call him 'Hound Dog' -he has a ose for the net." "Stone is a very highly-skilled offensive layer with a knack for scoring," said Michigan ssistant coach Larry Pedrie, "but we ( the oaching staff) have no qualms with his defense t all. He's tough, he works hard, and takes pride nhis defense. "He's a guy you can count on. The guy i averaging one point a game for a freshman' hat's outstanding- and I don't think anyone in he league knows it." THURSDAY FEBRUARY 4 C IPM nra C4iPNIq 3.00 OHN E.
