W... .....s S:.:>h: Blue shoots to regain first Men cooking up rare home meet by Adam Miller Daily Sports Writer Accidents happen. Just ask Michigan men's swimming coach Jon Urbanchek. "It's a mistake," he said, referring to the schedule that has is team swimming at Canham Natatorium only four times this year, hile attending 14 away meets. One of those four times is this weekend when the Michigan Coed Swimming and Diving Invitational gets underway at 6 p.m. tonight. The home-pool advantage might not ensure victory for the Wolverines, though. A tough field consisting of Michigan State, Eastern Michigan, Oakland University and Allegheny will be invading Ann Arbor, and all are capable of an upset. While Michigan made no special preparations for the Invitational, Urbanchek smells trouble brewing in East Lansing. "Michigan State's going to be well prepared because they'll be well rested," he said. This is not to say Michigan is expecting to have a poor showing. rbanchek has high expectations for many swimmers at the meet. Three sophomores, backstroker Steve Bigelow, butterflyer Brian Gunn, and freestyler Noel Strauss, are all looking to qualify for the NCAA Championships with a standard time this meet, as is senior freestyler Janet Winter. Bigelow and Gunn narrowly missed qualifying times when they swam at the U.S. Open in Indianapolis last weekend. Other Michigan swimmers to watch are junior world-class breaststroker Eric Wunderlich, and junior freestyler Eric Namesnik, who is coming off a win in the U.S. Open last weekend. Women to test endurance y Jason Gomberg Daily Sports Writer by Dan Zoch Daily Hockey Writer For the second-place Michigan hockey team, this weekend's series with Western Michigan will be the last time it will be at full strength for an entire month. Sophomore co-captain David Har- lock has accepted an offer to try out for the Canadian Junior National team and junior defenseman Patrick Neaton has been selected for the U.S. Junior National team. Harlock has to leave next week and will miss next weekend's series with CCHA-leading Lake Superior State. Neither Harlock nor Neaton will be playing in the Great Lakes Invitational or Michigan's subse- quent series with Illinois-Chicago. Michigan coach Red Berenson is pleased about the opportunities his two top defenders have received, but he questions the restrictions the Canadian officials have placed on Harlock. "They don't respect the fact that these kids have to go to school," Berenson said. "The U.S. team works around the college schedules and the Canadian team doesn't." The series with Western (7-7-2 overall, 6-6-2 CCHA) is crucial if the Wolverines (10-4-2, 9-3-2) in- tend to remain within striking dis- tance of Lake Superior State. Because Michigan's games in Boston last weekend were non- conference, Lake Superior was able to slip past the Wolverines into first place; thus setting up a battle for first place next weekend when the Lakers come to Ann Arbor. The Wolverines are currently tied with Bowling Green for second place, but Michigan has two games in hand. Bowling Green is playing .two non-conference games this weekend, and any points won by the Wolverines will give them sole possession of second. "These are our two games to Michigan rightwing Ted Kramer fires a shot through the Western Michigan defense in a previous game against the Broncos. The Wolverines hope to sweep Western and move into second place in the conference. With visions of sunny Honolulu - and final exams - in the back of its minds, the Michigan women's swim team hosts the Michigan In- vitational this weekend in Canham Natatorium. The meet runs from today through Sunday afternoon, featuring Michigan State, Division II Champion Oakland University and Al- legheny (Pa.) College. The Wolverines, fresh off split-squad performances at the Eastern Michigan Open (second place overall) and the U.S. Open, are facing their final action until, they compete against Arizona State, Hawaii and Air Force, halfway into their training camp session in Hawaii, December 30. Michigan assistant coach Margo Mahoney views this meet as a chance to see how the team can react after tough races with little rest. "It will be interesting," Mahoney said. "Both the squads at EMU and at Indy swam really hard and we want to see how they'll respond." Wolverine coach Jim Richardson said Michigan's training ritual has remained constant. "I don't want to introduce any new (anxieties) in their lives right now. They have enough by dealing with exams," he said. Rather than discussing the Wolverines' opponents, Richardson prefers talking about the expectations for his team. "They all gave pretty solid efforts last week," he said. "I would just like to see a duplication." win," Berenson said. "It's our chance to move ahead of Bowling Green and we better take advantage of it." Fifth-place Western is trying to remain at .500. Last weekend, the Broncos swept Miami of Ohio, slip- ping past Michigan State in the standings. Western assistant coach Kevin McCaffrey feels that, in order for the Broncos to defeat Michigan, his team will have to play a strong game in Kalamazoo tonight before coming to Ann Arbor tomorrow. "Friday is the key game for us," McCaffrey said. "Michigan skates like no other college team and we're going to have to play very physical just to keep with them." Western's leading scoring threat is senior center Mike Eastwood with eight goals and seven assists thus far. The real strength in the Broncos' game is their goaltender, Craig Brown. He ranks second in the CCHA in saves (310) and third in the victory department with seven. "They are a much better defensive team than last year," Berenson said. "Maybe they're not as prolific offen- sively, but they're a team that doesn't give up as many goals. They're tied with us in that depart- ment." Last week, the Wolverines lost more than first place in the confer- ence. Junior forward Denny Felsner, who was leading the league in scor- ing all season, dropped into second behind Brett Harkins of Bowling Green. Felsner has 18 goals and 11 assists while Harkins has 11 goals and 19 assists. The departure of Wolverine goal- tender Tim Keough represents an- other loss for the team. Keough re- signed from the team Monday after receiving limited playing time be- hind two first-year goaltenders. Though Keough's exit means greater opportunity for first-year goaltender Chris Gordon, he is sad to see Keough leave. "It was really rough seeing (Keough) go," Gordon said. "I can respect his decision, but it still is tough seeing him leave the team." i" I pe ( WHAT'S HAPPENING COM MUTER TRENSPORTETION would like to thank all J-M students and faculty for your patronage.
