Against New Hampshire, that wasn't a problem. The Wolverines looked good early, and led by defenseman Bubba Berenzweig's two goals, Michigan defeated New I Hampshire, 4-0, to advance to the NCAA championship game against Boston College tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. The Wolverines opened with a burst of energy in the first period while the Wildcats -- by their own admis- sion - emerged nervous. And the Wolverines took advantage, outshooting New Hampshire 14-4 in the peri- od. "They were flying from the first period on," New Hampshire captain Mike Mowers said. After controlling play in the Wildcats' zone for much of the first period, and coming close to scoring on sever- al opportunities, the Wolverines finally put a puck past New Hampshire netminder Sean Matile late in the first ?r excuse to party," said Hash Bash organizer James Millard. The event's political message, estab- lished almost after Ann Arbor ree decades ago ade marijuana possession illegal, emains intact today, he said. "This is a day for us, as activists, to alk to people," said Millard, owner of Pure Productions hemp parapher- alia store on Fourth Street. "I don't see hy the evil weed is the evil weed. here are over 20,000 household ways o use this weed." Department of Public Safety pokesperson Beth Hall said that egardless of the rally's message, peo- le who are caught smoking marijuana ill be arrested. "On city property there is a $25 e," Hall said. "But what the iversity does is enforce state law where) possession is a misdemeanor ith penalties of up to one year in jail nd a $1,000 fine." Hall said most of the people arrested t the event each year are not affiliated ith the University. More than 40 people ere arrested at last year's Hash Bash, ut none of them were students, she said. Jim Kosteva, the University's direc- of community relations, said the ncept of an alternative rally devel- ped last spring when a group of citi- ens decided to take proactive steps to ounter the message Hash Bash con- eys to youths. The University will cover the costs f using the Michigan League nderground for the alternative rally. It ill feature local bands and comedians, nd Adam Acy of WIQB radio will mcee the event. he event "is a celebration of a rug-free lifestyle," Kosteva said.

Michigan went on to win 44 and advance to tomorrow night's NCAA championship game. Dedicated fans follow team to Boston By Heather Kamins and Katie Plona Daily Staff Reporters BOSTON - Thousands of college hockey fans donning school jerseys from around the nation, crowded Boston's FleetCenter yesterday to join the cult-like following of the NCAA hockey final four. Coming from as far as Alaska, North Dakota and Wisconsin, scores of fans returned to the championship this year knowing their home- town teams would not have a chance to grab the title. Michigan State University fan Merrill Shelden bought tickets for the event a year ago without knowing whether his favorite team would compete, as he has done for more than 10 years. "Sure you want your team there," Shelden said, adding that he was disappointed by MSU's loss this past Saturday, which eliminated the Spartans from the run for the championship. "But we don't just buy tickets because State is going to be in it. We go because we want to go." Die-hard Michigan fans said they come to the tournament each year, wherever it is hosted, to be part of the friendly and intimate atmosphere not found at other NCAA sporting events. "This is amateur sports the way it should be - without all the production," said Azalia, Mich. resident Larry Cymbola, who has attend- ed the tournaments since Red Berenson was named coach of the hockey team. Cymbola said in each host city, lie and his wife "run into the same people over and over." Cincinatti resident and self-described hockey junky Brian Johnson, who is attending his third final four tournament, said the sport has main- tained a wholesome nature despite its growing popularity. "There are people who come just because See FANS, Page 7 Berenzweig, who calmly put the puck into the net before Matile could recover. "I thought I was shooting for the far corner," Berenzweig said of the original shot. "I saw an opening, but it didn't go there. It bounced right back off his pads to me and I got lucky to get the rebound and to put it behind him." Earlier in the Clark penalty, Turco came up big to keep the game scoreless. New Hampshire forward Tom Nolan slipped behind the Michigan defense and tried to beat Turco between the legs, but the Michigan goaltender made a tremendous save. Michigan broke the game open midway through the second period, scoring two goals just 43 seconds apart. Michigan's second goal of the period came on its fourth power play opportunity of the game. Berenzweig took a pass from Bobby Hayes and fired an innocent-looking wristshot on Matile. The Wildcats' goaltender was screened on the play by Michigan's Greg Crozier and didn't see the puck until it was behind him. "It was a wrist shot from the point, and I didn't really see it," Matile said. "Coach said it might have hit some- thing out front, but I don't know."
