* -Times Subject To Change #-HOMECOMING 1991 Season Opener ... On September 14, the Golden Gophers will open the season against San Jose State of the in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. San Jose State fmished the 1990 campaign at 9-2-1 overall and 7-0 in the Big West. This will mark the first meeting between the two schools. The are under the leadership of second-year head coach Terry Shea. Shea, the 1990 Big West Coach-of-the-Year, took over the Spartan head job after serving two years as the offensive coordinator at the Univer­ sity of California. In his inaugural season he led San Jose State to a 48-24 win over MAC Champion, Central Michigan University Chippewas in last season's California Raisin Bowl. The Spartans' return 36lettermen (17 offense, 19 defense). Among the 17 offensive returnees, six were starters on last season's team that averaged 291.6 yards per game via the airways (eighth best in the country), and produced 27 touch­ downs. Returning players on offense include the Spartans one-two punch of tight-end Bryce Burnett and slot receiver Bobby Blackmon. Burnett caught 23 passes for 451 yards and four TD's while Blackmon, the team's leading receiver, accounted for 599 yards on 39 receptions and six touchdowns. A big question mark for them will be replacing last season's signal caller Ralph Martini, who passed for over 2,900 yards and threw 23 TD's, but the Spartans have two capable to build around Matt Veatch and Jeff Garcia. Defensively, the Spartans are in a rebuilding stage in the linebacking corps with only one player returning from last season's two-deep. The secondary looms to be the most consistent with the return of safeties Heshimo Colar and Anthony Washington. Colar, a three-year starter and 1990 second-team All-Big West choice is the team's top returning tackler with 67 stops. Washington, an honorable mention Big West selection in 1990, tallied nine quar­ terback sacks and added 14 tackles for losses totaling 88 yards. Matching 1990's standard will be a difficult task for the Spartans, but several key weapons still remain in Terry Shea's arsenal for the 1991 season. • • N M • • 0 '1' A 1991 FOOTBALLROSTER

Not only is this the University of Minnesota Golden Gopher's season opener versus the San Jose State Spartans, but it also GOLDEN GOPHER FOOTBALL marks the second annual celebration of Greater Minnesota Day. Intro- duced last year, Greater Minnesota Day is a tribute to the agricultural communities of outstate Minnesota and a salute to loyal fans throughout the state. The greater Minnesota area traditionally has and continues to house the strongest supporters of the Golden Gophers. Of equal importance, the agricultural community is a entity which supports the entire state of Minnesota. We are excited to honor and to thank the Greater Minnesota area for its tremendous contributions to the the people of the University and to the entire state.

At this year's event there is a particular emphasis on providing information on careers in agribusiness. With the number of available jobs in the agricultural industry exceeding applicants four to one, all of Minnesota, and especially the rural areas will be greatly affected. Therefore, there will be agribusiness career information booths throughout the upper concourse of the Metrodome prior to and during the football game. Over 10,000 4-H and FFA members have been invited to attend the event courtesy of Cenex/Land O'Lakes, Harvest States and Northrup King. In addition, tours of the Grain Exchange will be offered to expose people to its operations.

At halftime of the football game, we will take the celebration on to the field for Band Day 1991. The University of Minnesota Marching Band will be joined by an ensemble of over 2,000 musicians from high school bands across the state. This spectacular event is a great University tradition and an fitting climax to Greater Minnesota Day. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JEW§

1991 Golden Gopher Interview Policy

All requests for interviews with players or coaches, either in person or via telephone, will be arranged by the University of Minnesota Sports Information Department. Please call the Sports Information Office at (612) 625-4090 to schedule interviews. Please allow 24 hours notice in order to facilitate arrangements.

In general, interviews will be conducted prior to practice at 12:00 to 2:00 in the player's lounge or on the practice field. If the designated time is not suitable, we will try to arrange an alternate time and location to conduct the interview that suits both parties. Interviews done after practice should not conflict with meetings, training room treatments or other team obligations.

Normally, the first hour of practice on each day will be open to the media to shoot any action photography or video. Otherwise practice will be open to additional media representatives unless specified by Head Football Coach John Gutekunst.

Once the season is underway, players usually will be available to the media from the time post­ game interviews are conducted until after Thursday's practice. Players will NOT be available Fridays or Saturdays until after games are concluded.

Again this year, the University of Minnesota will comply with an equal access policy, and this means that the football locker room and the training room in the football facility will be closed to all media. Interviews must be conducted outside those areas, and members of the sports information staff will be on hand to provide assistance in locating student-athletes for pre-arranged interviews. The post-game locker room policy will be determined weekly on the basis of equal access requests. ******************************************************************************

COACH GUTEKUNST AGAIN TO HOST WEEKLY LUNCHEONS

Visiting sports information directors may be on hand to distribute information about the current opponent. During the non-conference portion of our schedule, the coach of that week's opponent also is scheduled to participate via a telephone interview conducted by attending media.

1991 Golden Gopher Interview Policy

All requests for interviews with players or coaches, either in person or via telephone, will be arranged by the University of Minnesota Sports Information Department Please call the Sports Information Office at (612) 625-4090 to schedule interviews. Please allow 24 hours notice in order to facilitate arrangements.

In general, interviews will be conducted prior to practice at noon to 2:00 in the player's lounge or on the practice field If the designated time is not suitable, we will try to arrange an alternate time and location to conduct the interview that suits both parties. Interviews done after practice should not conflict with meetings, training room treatments or other team obligations.

Normally, the first hour of practice on each day will be open to the media to shoot any action photography or video. Otherwise practice will be open to additional media representatives unless specified by Head Football Coach John Gutekunst.

Once the season is underway, players usually will be available to the media from the time post­ game interviews are conducted until after Thursday's practice. Players will NOT be available Fridays or Saturdays until after games are concluded.

Again this year, the University of Minnesota will comply with an equal access policy, and this means that the football locker room and the training room in the football facility will be closed to all media. Interviews must be conducted outside those areas, and members of the sports information staff will be on hand to provide assistance in locating student-athletes for pre-arranged interviews. The post-game locker room policy will be determined weekly on the basis of equal access requests. ****************************************************************************** COACH GUTEKUNST AGAIN TO HOST WEEKLY LUNCHEONS

Coach John Gutekunst will host a weekly media luncheon each Wednesday in the Gold Room at Williams Arena beginning at noon. The first of these luncheons is scheduled for Wednesday, September 11. Visiting sports information directors may be on hand to distribute information about the current opponent. During the non-conference portion of our schedule, the coach of that week's opponent also is scheduled to participate via a telephone interview conducted by attending media. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GOLDEN GOPHERS PREPARE FOR OPENER

Minnesota's Golden Gophers continued preparations for the 1991 season opener with a light morning workout and a more normal contact session in the afternoon. Head Football Coach John Gutekunst is taking a long look at Minnesota's kicking game during both sessions.

"We have a veteran punter, Dean Kaufman (Jr., Sauk Centre) available, and we look for improvement from him," Coach Gutekunst said. "He's shown a powerful leg and looks ready to go. The battle for place kicking duties continues between Aaron Piepkorn (Jr., Austin, TX) and Mike Chalberg (Fr., Forest Lake, MN). Both have powerful legs and would be excellent on kickoffs. Chalberg seemed ahead early in accuracy, but Piepkorn has been closing the gap."

Gutekunst also seems pleased with the "center" phase of the kicking game. "For the first time in a number of years our long snapper won't be a total specialist since tight end Patt Evans (Sr., Swarthmore, PA) and Gary Isakson (Sr., Apple Valley, MN) are running one-and-two for that assignment," Gutekunst said.

The Golden Gophers will run through a couple of workouts Thursday and then get in their final pre-season tune-up scrimmage on Friday. They plan a light practice Saturday before moving into their normal game week routine Sunday.

26-Sean Lumpkin , 6-1, 213 Sr., Golden Valley, Minn.

"Coming to the 'U' gave me an opportunity to stay close to home," says Gulden Gopher senior Sean Lumpkin. "I play better in front of friends and family because I know they appredat'" what I'm trying to do on the field" A hard-hiuing safety, Lumpkin is the leader of the Gophers· secondary. In 1991,his fourthyearasastarter,Lumpkin is expected to have a fine season that should put him in good position for the 1992 NFL draft. He also is a pre-season J tm Thorpe candidate. In the closing seconds of the Homecoming game against Northwestern m 1988. with the score tied and time running out, the Wildcats set up to kick the game-wmning field goal. As the ball was snapped, Lumpkin tore around end, leaped as the ktcker made contact with the ball, and smacked the ball with his right hand to preserve the tie. But even individual heroics don't compare to a big team victory: "I'll always remember going down to Iowa for the last game of my sophomore season and beating them so badly on their home field." Some athletes make the mistake of resting on their laurels after a successful season. But Lumpkin realizes the importance of improving his game. Seeking an edge in mental preparation, the Gopher senior hopes to improve on his concentration and cut down on mental errors. One team that seems to bring out the best in this Gopher safety is Ohio State. He followed his fumble recovery wuch­ down of 1989 with a 75-yard touchdown return of an interception in 1990. Lumpkin will graduate with a degree in business and hopes to pursue a career in business when his football career is over.

RAIN MOVES GOLDEN GOPHERS INDOORS WEDNESDAY

Rain moved the University of Minnesota football team indoors Wednesday afternoon as Coach John Gutekunst continued preparing his Golden Gophers for Saturday's 7:00p.m. season opener against San Jose State. And the U of M gridders appeared anxious for Saturday to get here. "It's time for us to play," Gutekunst stressed. "We know San Jose is a great offensive team with excellent speed. History has shown that it is a big-play team. We are expecting and preparing to face those elements. We need to slow their offense down, and the best way to do that is ball control...maintain possession ourselves and keep the ball away from them." This week's workouts also have found Gutekunst working hard on punt coverages. "San Jose is a dangerous punt return team," Gutekunst said. "A year ago we did not do a good job in the punt coverage department. We didn't get enough hang time on our punts, and our coverage was not adequate. We need to improve those things before Saturday." All of which is part of Minnesota's getting ready for Saturday's kickoff against the Spartans in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, a game billed as part of a "Greater Minnesota Day" venture designed to promote the size, scope and future of the state's agribusiness. Teaming up with the U of M as sponsors for that endeavor are Cenex/Land O'Lakes, Harvest States and Northrup King. More than 15,000 students from across the state are expected to attend the Greater Minnesota Day game. Oversized schedule posters, featuring Minnesota's Head Coaches John Anderson (baseball), Doug Woog (hockey), Clem Haskins (basketball) and Gutekunst with Minnesota dairy products will be given to the first 25,000 fans coming to the Metrodome, courtesy of the American Dairy Association.

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM HOSTS WISCONSIN & IOWA ON SATURDAY

Head Coach Roy Griak's Golden Gopher cross country team \vill open their 1991 season on Saturday when they host defending Big Ten champion Wisconsin and Iowa at the Les Bolstad/University of Minnesota Golf Course. The 8,000 meter race is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m.

Leading the Way: Headlining the list of returnees for the Golden Gophers is junior captain Doug Milkowski (Stevens Point, Wis.). He finished 27th at the Big Ten Championships a year ago. Senior Chris Schmid (White Bear Lake, Minn.), 44th at the conference meet last season, and junior Curt Kotsonas (Chanhassen, Minn.) also return this fall. Senior Sean Fitzgerald (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), a multiple Big Ten placewinner on the oval in track during his career, may prove to be an ace in the hole for Griak's squad this season. Freshman Mark Gonzales (LaHabra, Calif.) turned in a fine prep career and appears to have all of the tools to make an immediate impact on the collegiate scene.

Inexperienced Team: Five of the top seven runners from the 1990 Golden Gopher squad that finished fifth at the Big Ten Championships and then seventh at the Region Four Championships will not be competing this fall. Keith Eidman and Chris Harder have graduated, while juniors Chris Berg (Minneapolis, Minn.) and Mark Narveson (Mankato, Minn.) are expected to redshirt the 1991 season. Sophomore Jason Rathe (Osseo, Minn.) will spend the entire school year studying abroad in Europe. In addition, junior Scott DeLong (Aurora, Colo.), a top runner for the team throughout his career, has been forced to the sidelines with a fractured femur.

Griak Says: "We certainly won't be operating at full strength this fall," Griak said, "but I'd like to think that we'll have a group of young men that will work very hard, and as a result get better and better as the season goes along. Hopefully all of the ingredients will jell together and we'll be able to perform up to our ability." M I N Nl E s 0 T A 1991 ALL·STAR CANDIDATES

Week 1 vs. San Jose State- recorded 15 26-Sean Lumpkin solo tackles, two pass breakups, one Defensive Back, 6-1, 213 interception to lead Minnesota to a 26-20 Sr., Golden Valley, Minn. victory. "Coming to the 'U' gave me an opportunity to stay close to home," says Golden Gopher senior Sean Lumpkin. "I play better in front of friends and family because I know they appreciate what I'm trying to do on the field." A hard-hitting safety, Lumpkin is the leader of the Gophers' secondary. In 1991, his fourth year as a starter, Lumpkin is expected to have a fine season that should put him in good position for the 1992 NFL draft. He also is a pre-season Jim Thorpe candidate. In the closing seconds of the Homecoming game against Northwestern in 1988, with the score tied and time running out, the Wildcats set up to kick the game-winning field goal. As the ball was snapped, Lumpkin tore around end, leaped as the kicker made contact with the ball, and smacked the ball with his right hand to preserve the tie. But even individual heroics don't compare to a big team victory: "I'll always remember going down to Iowa for the last game of my sophomore season and beating them so badly on their home field." Some athletes make the mistake of resting on their laurels after a successful season. But Lumpkin realizes the importance of improving his game. Seeking an edge in mental preparation, the Gopher senior hopes to improve on his concentration and cut down on mental errors. One team that seems to bring out the best in this Gopher safety is Ohio State. He followed his fumble recovery touch­ down of 1989 with a 75-yard touchdown return of an interception in 1990. Lumpkin will graduate with a degree in business and hopes to pursue a career in business when his football career is over.

GOLDEN GOPHERS TO JOURNEY TO COLORADO THURSDAY

Minnesota's Golden Gophers concluded their "at home" preparations for the Colorado Buffaloes Wednesday, and on Thursday they will fly to Denver where they will work out later in the day. Coach John Gutekunst's contingent also will hold one brief workout in Boulder Friday afternoon before meeting Colorado on Saturday at 12 noon (MDT).

Gutekunst and the Golden Gophers know they will have their hands full on Saturday, and this week's drills have demonstrated a great deal of intensity on the part of the coach as well as his players.

"We know that me was contain Darian Hagan (Colorado quarterback)," Gutekunst emphasized, "and we know we will see an offense patterned after Michigan's. Colorado is just one-heck-of-a­ football team."

Despite that respect, Gutekunst also can't worry about Colorado being Colorado. "We must look ahead to Saturday with the thought that we're playing our second game on an 11-game schedule," he said. "We simply have to stay on the path of progress."

Golden Gopher fans hope that path includes win number two Saturday. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JEW§

COMING EVENTS: >· Minnesota desperately needs to tum things around, Saturday, to get back on the winning track after what was termed a "miserable performance" at Colorado. "We got kicked in every ;~~~~~~~: I way," Gutekunst lamented. "Colorado beat us physically and mentally."

Wisconsin swept nine of the top 10 individual places to easily defeat both Minnesota and Iowa in double dual cross country action last Saturday at the Les Bolstad/University of Minnesota Golf Course.

Double Duals: The defending Big Ten champion Badgers defeated the Hawkeyes 18-45 and the Golden Gophers 15-50. The Hawkeyes narrowly topped the Golden Gophers 26-29.

Leading The Way: Juniors Curt Kotsonas (Chanhassen, MN) and Doug Milkowski (Stevens Point, WI) paced the Golden Gophers in their season opener. Kotsonas finished 12th overall in 26:38, while Milkowski was right behind in 13th at 26:42. Freshman Mark Gonzales (LaHabra, CA) turned in a fine collegiate debut, finishing third on the team and 14th overall with a time of 26:49. Senior Chris Schmid (White Bear Lake, MN) placed 16th in 26:59 and junior Dan Furno (Elm Grove, WI) was 19th in 27:26 to round out the Golden Gophers' scoring fivesome.

Coach Griak: "I was pleased with how we ran for an opening meet. I thought that Kotsonas and Gonzales ran quite well. We have a young team and we're only going to get better and better as the season goes along."

Minnesota Invitational Next: After a week away from competition, the Golden Gophers will host the prestigious Minnesota Invitational on Saturday, October 5 at the Les Bolstad/University of Minnesota Golf Course. The field is expected to include such powerful teams as Iowa State, Kansas, Nebraska and Penn State.

GOPHER-BADGER HOCKEY GAME AT MET CENTER IS CENTERPIECE OF "BORDER BATILE" WEEKEND

As part of a special "border battle" promotion surrounding the Minnesota­ Wisconsin football game on Saturday, November 16 (1:30), the Golden Gopher hockey team will play the second game of its two-game series at the Met Center that evening at 7:30, the University and the North Stars announced in a joint news conference today.

The move from Mariucci Arena will make available more than 7,500 additional tickets for the traditionally sold-out WCHA Conference game with Wisconsin.

"We are not taking this step lightly," said Director of Athletics Rick Bay. "We are still committed to keeping our home athletic events on campus. But the availability of additional hockey tickets will, we hope, increase attendance at both events by attracting spectators from greater Minnesota and western Wisconsin. That means significantly increased revenues at a time when the University and Men's Intercollegiate Athletic Department really need it. It also gives hockey fans who traditionally have been turned away from this series a chance to participate in a great hockey rivalry."

Gophers season ticket holders will be reassigned automatically to Met Center seating locations. Those locations are printed on their regular tickets.

The agreement with the North Stars guarantees the Gophers seating for 7,500 season-and-single-game ticket buyers and places a maximum price of $12 on the additional ticket stock. There is no limit on the number of tickets that each fan may order.

For additional ticket information or to order tickets over the phone, call the Gopher ticket office at (612) 624-8080 or Ticketmaster at (612) 989-5151. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA lEW§

The University of Minnesota hockey team invites all Gopher media covering the ~e,am to a~end the 1991-92 media day o~ Thursday, October 10, 1991 at 5:00p.m. Coach WO?g wt~ be available for questions alo_ng wt.th some of the top players on the 1991-92 .te~. The ~nte1!'1ew and reception area will be m the Gold Room on the east end of the Wtlliams/Manucct An~na complex.

The University of Minnesota hockey team returns to the ice in preparation for the 1991-92 season with its first practice on Monday, Oct. 7. It will be a short week of practice for the Maroon and Gold as they travel to Eveleth, Minn., on Saturday, Oct. 12 to play the defending national champion Northern Michigan Wildcats in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame exhibition game at the Eveleth Hippodrome.

BROADCAST NEWS That game will also mark the inaugural broadcast of Gopher hockey on two new media outlets. On the television medium, Midwest Sports Channel will make its debut with Gopher hockey in the first of 20 games they will have on the air. Those 20 games combined with the 10 games that KITN-Fox 29 has scheduled for broadcast will mean that 30 of the Gophers 39 contests will be available to Minnesota fans on television. MSC has lured veteran Gopher hockey voice Doug McLeod to do the play-by-play, with commentary from Dick Bremer, while KITN will stay with its veteran duo of Frank Mazzocco and Wally Shaver.

The radio medium also has a new look this year with all of the Gophers hockey games being broadcast on KFAN the exciting new all-sports channel in the Twin Cities. The Maroon and Gold join an already prestigious lineup at the FAN, which is home to the Minnesota Vikings of the NFL and the Timberwolves of the NBA. The station at the 1130 mark on the AM dial is one of the largest and oldest stations in the market. Handling the broadcast duties for the FAN will be Greg Harrington and Doug Johnson, two veteran WCHA hockey analysts.

The Gophers return 14 lettermen from last season's team which finished with a 30-10-5 record. W oog, now entering his seventh year at the helm of the Gophers, has an impressive 195-7 4-11 record for a .716 winning percentage. He is also on the verge of surpassing the total victories record of his mentor, the late John Mariucci. Woog will surpass Mariucci's record of 199-137-18, becoming the winningest coach in Gopher history with the team's fifth victory this season.

"FACE OFF WITH WOOG"

Another event to mark on your calender is the annual "Face Off with W oog" event sponsored by the Decathlon Club of Bloomington, Minn. The event is slated for Monday Oct. 14 at 7:30a.m., and will mark the start of the 1991-92 regular season. All Gopher supporters are invited to this fun-filled event which will feature Woog and key members of the team. Frank Mazzocco and Wally Shaver are slated to be the emcees for the event, with surprise visits from many other local hockey experts. For more information on this event contact Patti Babcock at the hockey office at 625-2886 or the Men's Sports Information Office at 625-4090.

GOPHER BASEBALL TEAM BEGINS PREPARATION FOR 1991-92 CAMPAIGN

The University of Minnesota baseball team began the fall practice schedule last week and John Anderson's charges are looking anxiously to the 1992 season. Anderson's squad will return the entire pitching staff from last year's squad that finished 36-24 overall, second in the Big Ten, before advancing to the NCAA West I Regional in Los Angeles, CA. The Gophers also return 19lettermen from last season, including All-West Regional outfielder Ryan Lefebvre (Los Angeles, CA) and last year's Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Mark Merila (Plymouth, MN). Those two players along with fifth-year seniors Steve Calvert (Edina, MN) and Brian Hartmann (Arlington, MN), are being counted on to provide the leadership and offensive punch for the team as it goes after the Big Ten crown. The Gophers open their 1992 season February 6-8, 1992 at Tucson, AZ., against the Arizona Wildcats. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JEW§

KOTSONAS LEADS HARRIERS AT RUGGED MINNESOTA INVITATIONAL

Junior Curt Kotsonas (Chanhassen, MN) placed 61st individually with a time of 25:43 over the 8,000 meter Les Bolstad/U of M course to pace the young Golden Gopher cross country team to a 15th-place finish in the prestigious 33-team Minnesota Invitational held last Saturday.

The Nation's Finest: The Minnesota Invitational is annually recognized as one of the nation's finest collegiate cross country meets and Saturday's star-studded competition did little to dispute that theory. A total of six nationally-ranked Division I teams took part in the meet, along with a number of squads that ranked highly in their respective NAIA, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III national polls. No. 16 South Florida tallied 57 points to outdistance Adams State (72 l, ranked No. 1 in the NAIA national poll, and No. 5 Wisconsin (77) for the team crown. South Florida senior Chris Payne led the way by winning the individual race in a time of 24:26. Behind a 2-3-4 finish from Paul Patrick (24:30), Ian Robinson (24:33) and Sean Mulheron (24:37), No. 2 Iowa State finished fourth overall with 116 points. Defending NCAA and Minnesota Invitational champion, Jonah Koech, and fellow All-American Jonathan Brown, did not run for the Cyclones on Saturday. No. 22 Portland (134) finished fifth, followed by No. 14 Kansas (181), unranked Penn State (205) and No. 12 Weber State (231). A total of 81 competitors broke the 26-minute mark in the race which revealed the depth and quality of the competition.

Learning the Ropes: Following Kotsonas across the finish line for the Golden Gophers on Saturday were junior captain Doug Milkowski (Stevens Point, WI) in 86th with a time of 26:05, and seniors Sean Fitzgerald (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) and Chris Schmid (White Bear Lake, MN) in 95th at 26:10 and 102nd at 26:13 respectively. Fitzgerald, a multiple Big Ten placewinner in the middle-distance events on the track, was particularly impressive on Saturday as he continues to make the adjustment to cross country. Rounding out the team's scoring fivesome was freshman Mark Gonzales (LaHabra, CA) who finished 147th in 26:58.

Iowa State Invitational Next: After a week away from competition, the Golden Gophers will compete at the Iowa State Invitational in Ames on Saturday, October 19. The 8,000 meter race is expected to include, among others, the No.2 Cyclones and No. 14 Kansas. Coach Griak's squad finished fifth at the meet a year ago with 143 points. 1991~92 GOPHER HOCKEY SEASON OPENS OCTOBER 12, WITH U.S. HOCKEY HALL OF FAME GAME AGAINST NORTHERN MICHIGAN

Media Day set for Thursday, October 10, at 5:00 p.m. in Gold Room

Head Coach Doug Woog and his team begins the 1991-92 season this week. The Gophers open full practice on Monday, October 7, in preparation for the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame exhibition game on Saturday, October 12, at the Eveleth Hippodrome. The game is an exhibition but promises to be a very high-paced game given the opponent The Minnesota/Northern Michigan rivalry is fast developing into one of the best in college hockey. The Wildcats and Gophers split in WCHA regular season play last year, but Northern went on to win the regular season championship and the WCHA Tournament, ending a storybook season winning the NCAA Championship over in St. Paul, MN last April.

Head Coach Doug Woog returns a veteran Gopher squad to challenge the Wildcats for the WCHA crown this season. The Gophers return 14lettennen from last season's team which finished with a 30-10-5 record. Woog, now entering his seventh year at the helm, has an impressive 195-7 4-11 record for a .716 winning percentage. He is also on the verge of surpassing the total victories record of his mentor, the late John Mariucci. Woog will surpass Mariucci's record of 199-137-18 with the team's fifth victory this season, becoming the winningest coach in Gopher history .

The team's first intrasquad scrimmage will be Wednesday, Oct. 9 at Mariucci Arena Thursday, Oct. 10 will be Hockey Media Day at Mariucci Arena. All Gopher media covering the team are invited to attend. Coach Woog will be available along with some of the top players on the 1991-92 team. The interview and reception area will be in the Gold Room on the east end of the Williams/Mariucci Arena complex and will start at 5:00p.m.

Leading the Gophers offense this year will be All-American and Hobey Baker Award candidate Larry Olimb. The Warroad, MN native led the Gophers in scoring last season with 19 goals and 38 assists. Other top scorers returning include, Trent Klatt (Osseo, MN,16G, 28A) and Travis Richards (Crystal, MN,9G, 2SA). Those two players were third and seventh, respectively, in scoring last season.

Veteran players are not the only source of scoring punch for W oog. A highly regarded group of freshmen wiH skate onto the ice this season and stake their claim at some of the forward positions. That freshmen group is led by Darby Hendrickson from Richfield High School. He had an excellent senior season, leading the Spartans to the state tournament while garnering the Metro Player of the Year award and Minnesota's Mr. Hockey award. The 6-1, 185-pound center is a highly developed player for his age who was chosen to participate in the 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials camp where he surprised many with his ability to play at that high octane level of competition. Alongside Hendrickson at the St. Cloud camp was Steve Magnusson of Anoka. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had an impressive showing at the Olympic camp with a goal and two assists while consistently being in good scoring position.

The early season fortunes of the Gophers may ride on their veteran defense and goaltending. Five starters return form last year's blue line corps, including alternate captain Doug Zmolek (Rochester, MN, 3G, 15A). Playing behind that veteran group will be the veteran goaltending duo of Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, MN) and Tom Newman (Blaine, MN). These fine players should give the Gophers strong play in their own end and will be the backbone of the team throughout the year. On paper this squad looks like one of the fmest editions of Gopher hockey in recent years. GOLDEN GOPHER GOLFERS PLACE SECOND AT NEW MEXICO ST.

The Golden Gopher golf team finished second in the New Mexico State Classic golf tourney on October 4-5, in Las Cruces, N.M. Minnesota, which led after Friday's action, struggled in the fmal round firing a team score of 294. The New Mexico St team beat Minnesota by 8 strokes in round three to take the title in the 17 team tournament. Junior Joe Gullion (San Antonio , TX), led the Gophers. He shot 71 Saturday for a 54 hole total of 211, good for second place individually. Rich Beem of New Mexico St. took top honors with a score of 70-67-71 =208.

The University of Minnesota opens up the 70th year of Golden Gopher hockey this weekend at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center as the Bulldogs of UMD play host to the Gophers. The season opener on Friday night is slated for a 7:35p.m. start with Saturday's matchup starting at 7:00p.m. Last Time: The last time the .Gophers and Bulldogs opened up the season against each other was in 1989-90 when the "Dogs" invaded Mariucci Arena and pulled off an upset sweeping the Gophers home opener 9-6,4-2. Last season the Bulldogs had a strong hand in the Gophers fate as well. The "Dogs" had lost both games at the DECC in the early part of the season and invaded Mariucci Arena in January, with the Gophers coming off a road sweep of the the week before. The Bulldogs pulled a 5-3 win and a 3-3 tie out of the series stealing the Gophers tie for first place in the WCHA and delivering a crushing blow to the Gophers conference championship hopes.

The Record: The Minnesota-UMD series stands at 81-42-8 in favor of the Gophers with Minnesota holding a slight edge in games played at Duluth, 35-26-3. Head Coach Doug Woog has a respectable 9-3 record at the DECC and an overall record of 17-8 against the Bulldogs.

About the Bulldogs: The Bulldogs' offense will be led by the line of Derek Plante, Doug Torrel and Kevin Kaiser. This high scoring trio accounted for over 60 percent of the Bulldogs scoring last season. Defensively, all of last years players return, along with Greg Andrusak who spent a year with the Canadian Olympic team. The big question mark for the UMD will be between the pipes as All-American Chad Erickson signed on with the New Jersey Devils leaving a void of experience there.

Hall of Fame Game Recap: The Golden Gophers lost a 7-5 exhibition decision to the defending National Champion Northern Michigan Wildcats last Saturday night in Eveleth, MN. The game was part of the 1991 U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. The game opened up with Northern Michigan scoring first on a power play goal by Mark Beaufait and the "Cats" never fell behind. The game was marred by 27 penalties. The Wildcats out-shot the Gophers 38-25 for the game. The Gophers were playing without the services of some key players. Senior wing Cory Laylin (St. Cloud, MN) was held out of the game because of a groin strain. Sophomore defenseman Chris McAlpine (Roseville, MN) was held out because of a viral infection but is expected back for the season opener, and freshman Darby Hendrickson (Richfield) did not play due to a shoulder injury. The game was an intensely played game with a tight score until Nonhero hit the open net goal with five seconds left.

The Gophers opening goal came from pre-season All-American Doug Zmolek (Rochester, MN) who tipped in a beautiful feed from freshman Steve Magnusson (Anoka, MN). Craig Johnson (St. Paul, MN) notched a goal and an assist and Travis Richards (Crystal, MN) had two assists. Freshman Jed Fiebelkorn (Osseo, MN) notched a goal while fellow freshman Brandon Steege (Burnsville, MN) had two assists.

Netminders: The Gophers opened up the game with senior pre-season All-American Jeff Stolp (Nashwauk, MN) in the nets and he held the Wildcats to three goals in 30 minutes of play, before being replaced by junior Tom NeWman (Blaine, MN) who gave up three goals in his 30 minutes of play.

Broadcast Debut: The Hall of Fame Game marked the broadcasting debut of Gopher Hockey on KFAN 1130 radio and MSC television. Greg Harrington and Doug Johnson brought the action to Gopher fans on KFAN, while Doug McLeod and Dick Bremer are the broadcast team for MSC. The Duluth series has the Friday night game slated for broadcast on KITN with veteran Gopher broadcasters Frank Mazzocco and Wally Shaver bringing home the action. The Saturday evening contest will be on MSC, while KF AN will bring both of the games home at the 1130 mark on the AM dial.

After a week away from competition, Head Coach Roy Griak's Golden Gopher cross countty team will compete at the Iowa State Invitational in Ames on Saturday. The 8,000 meter race scheduled to get underway at 10:30 a.m., is expected to include, among others, No.2 Iowa State and No. 14 Kansas. The Golden Gophers finished fifth at the meet a year ago with 143 points.

Looking Back: Junior Curt Kotsonas (Chanhassen, MN) placed 61st individually with a time of 25:43 over the 8,000 meter Les Bolstad/U of M course to pace the young Golden Gopher cross countty team to a 15th-piace flnish in the prestigious 33-team Minnesota Invitational held on October 5.

The Nation's Finest: The Minnesota Invitational is annually recognized as one of the nation's finest collegiate cross countty meets and this year's star-studded competition did little to dispute that theory. A total of six nationally-ranked Division I teams took part in the meet, along with a number of squads that ranked highly in their respective NAIA, NCAA Division IT and NCAA Division Ill national polls. No. 16 South Florida tallied 57 points to outdistance Adams State (72), ranked No. 1 in the NAIA national poll, and No. 5 Wisconsin (7_7) for the team crown. South Florida senior Chris Payne led the way by winning the individual race in a time of 24:26. Behind a 2-3-4 finish from Paul Patrick (24:30), Ian Robinson (24:33) and Sean Mulheron (24:37), No.2 Iowa State finished fourth overall with 116 points. Defending NCAA and Minnesota Invitational champion; Jonah Koech, and fellow All-American Jonathan Brown, did not run for the Cyclones. No. 22 Portland (134) finished fifth, followed by No. 14 Kansas (181), unranked Penn State (205) and No. 12 Weber State (231). A total of 81 competitors broke the 26-minute mark in the race which revealed the depth and quality of the competition.
