Ice Hockey Blue-White Game Tonight, 7:30 p.m. Yost Ice Arena The Michigan Doily SPORTS Football vs. Wisconsin Saturday, 2:05 p.m. (WJR, WWJ, WPZA) at Madison, WI Page 1* Friday, October 5, 1990 It's showtime Moeller leads Blue on quest for by Mike Gill Daily Football Writer Dim the lights. This is it, the night of nights. No more rehearsing. On with the show, this is it. Except that this is Wisconsin. The Big Ten season is upon Michigan and its Wolverines, the games that serve as the steps to the Rose Bowl. The three previous games can be served up as simply experience gainers, except when it comes to worrying about the national ranking. Oh yeah, Michigan is ranked third, and with Florida State playing Miami this weekend, there's the chance Michigan could move even higher. All this, despite an opening game loss to Notre Dame. Barry Alvarez used to know about life on the top. He worked for Hayden Fry and the Hawkeyes before assuming the job as defensive coordiator at Notre Dame, where he won a national championship. Alvarez beat out Michigan defensive coordinator Lloyd Carr for the Wisconsin job, his first head coaching experience. Now, Saturday's game (2:05 kickoff, no TV, WJR (760) WWJ (950), WPZA (1050)) is billed as a battle of rookie coaches: one attempting to rebuild a program and grab a couple of wins; the other working for the Rose Bowl while silently eyeing a possible national title. But don't get it wrong. Gary Moeller is sitting in a corner, wor- ried stiff, about the problems Wis- consin could throw his Wolverines. Reason number one: Barry Alvarez. "Barry has a lot of experience playing against us because he was a coordinator at Notre Dame. He knows a lot of our tendencies and what we like to do."

Brown at Princeton Name: Phone: by Matt Rennie Daily Hockey Writer All the anticipation and hype around the Michigan hockey team will finally come to a climax at 7:30 tonight at Yost Ice Arena when the Maize and Blue face off against... Well, against the Maize and Blue. Yes, the highly touted Wolverine hockey squad will have to wait one more week before testing its ability against another school, but the icers will get a taste of game-type competition when they play in to- night's Blue-White intrasquad game. The icers will play another. similar scrimmage Saturday in Chatham, Ontario. The purpose of playing two games at different sites is to simulate a home-and-home series with a CCHA opponent. Chatham is roughly the same dis- tance fron Ann Arbor as Bowling Green and Western Michigan. These games will be important as Michigan coach Red Berenson and his staff make their final evaluations of players before the season begins. "We're working on various fundamentals, such as forechecking in the neutral zone," Berenson said. "Our special teams (power plays and penalty-killing) need a lot of work, as they do every year." All eyes will be onhthe men between the pipes, as the search continues for a replacement for Warren Sharples as the starting goaltender. Junior Tim Keough is the only returning goalie on the roster, but both Chris Gordon and Steve Shields will contend for the job in their first year. "One thing I can say for sure is that we'll have depth in goal," Berenson said. "Goalkeeping is something that we're watching carefully." The scrimmage will also be an important opportunity for the seven other first-year players on the squad. Berenson will be counting on significant contributions from his heralded rookie class.

Coach Sue LeClair feels the diversity of the opposition will have* little impact on the team. "We rarely see some of these teams," LeClair said. "To judge our play we really need to look at the teams we have seen, and not the teams from out West." LeClair's biggest concern is the consistency of the players. Although they solved the problem of high first-round scores last week at Mich-4 igan State, they inexplicably lost their touch in the following two rounds. "My goal for the tournament, obviously, other than winning it, is for the girls to play three consistent rounds like they are capable of," LeClair said. Leading the charge this weekend will be Becky Hayes and Erica Zonder. Zonder's improved play of* late has taken some of the pressure. away from Hayes.
