Marsden is now a counselor in anoth- er department at the university. Haskins, who resigned under pressure and accepted a $1.5 million buyout of his contract in June, has said he had no knowledge of any academic cheating in the basketball program. Reached by telephone Thursday, Haskins' wife, Yevette Haskins, said he would not comment on the memo. BLUE-WHITE Continued from Page 1.0 for the Wolverines to show off their skills in front of friends and family, Saturday's game against Wilfred Laurier will be the team's first true test. Coaches will use the exhibi- tions to judge several walk-ons as well as get an initial feel for possible lines. "We've put some lines together that, we want to watch this weekend," Berenson said. "We'll see how they do. Based on how they play and how they work, we'll make some deci-: sions." Perhaps even more important, the weekend will be a chance to see howr the short-staffed defense will fare in game situations. The Wolverines lost three blueliners in the offseason - Mike Van Ryn (to the Sarnia Sting), Scott Crawford (transferred to Niagara) and Matt Bannon (academically ineligible). "We need to get into a rhythm in a~ game and figure out how we're going to play defensively, especially our team as a unit," Berenson said. "The defense's big challenge will be getting the puck out of our zone." Prior to tonight's opener, Michigan, has had only a week of official prac- tice with coaches. But nonetheless, the team is confident that it can get off to a flying start. "It's not easy (to have such little practice time), but we've learned a lot," Comrie said. "This weekend will get us prepared for playing two games. in one weekend." Michigan will open its regular sea- son at Notre Dame next Friday. I ens himself for season ut and played, I started to that I wasn't getting bounced as much and I was like, 'Oh, kind of nice. I'm not getting around like a little kid any- it's been my driving force. time I'm in there and I'm o put the bar up and lock it in thinking, 'I'm not getting around this year."' e no one will confuse the new for a tight end, the offseason as been worth it. Even though rch press is just one of 25 -related exercises the team 's an easy benchmark for mea- improvement. Omitting the lt, Young can now put up 215 pounds - a solid increase over his Catholic Central days. More impor- tantly, he's rounded out physically in ways that will help him on the court. "I want him to double his produc- tion in terms of points and rebounds," Ellerbe said with confi- dence. "We need him to make his presence felt." A team-oriented, keep-the-focus- on-the-team kind of guy, Young sometimes blends in too well to be seen. For Young to gain the attention he deserves from fans, it might take a spectacular game-saving block or some other high-profile play. Come to think of it, there's a much easier way to find Young. He's the one beating his man up the floor. FILE PHOTO Junior defenseman Dave Huntzicker won't try to hurt his opponents too hard tonight.
