87-88 GOPIIBR CXJTLOOIC WITH HEAD COACH DOUG WOOG
•A big factor weighing on our success in 1987-88 is predicated on which of our players makes the u.s. Olympic Team. The only position where we could be physically shorted, however, is in goal. •If either John Blue or Rob Stauber makes the Olympic team, the one remaining will have to play an awful lot of hockey for Minnesota next season. •we could also lose a lot of offensive punch, too, if forwards like Dave Snuggerud, Paul Broten, Tom Chorske and defenseman Todd Richards make the u.s. team. •so I believe the concerning news is if we lose some Olympic candidates. The good news, however, r.ould be that when we get them back a year later, they'll be much better hockey players. •All of us here at Minnesota are really pulling for each of our players who are reaching for a star this summer. To represent the USA at an Olympics is as high an honor an amateur athlete can achieve. I wish each of them good luck. •At the same time back home, a big key for us this season will be impro vement of players returning on our squad who didn't play as full-time regulars last year. Forwards Jon Anderson, Chris May and Brett Strot (as in VOTE), plus defensemen Brett Nelson and Jeff Pauletti simply must move up one notch and be consistant performers if we are to succeed without some of our more experienced players coming back. •saving already lost seniors Corey Millen, Steve MacSwain, Gary Shopek and Tim Bergland, we will have some difficulty in scoring. It will be of further concern if we lose any other big scorers to the Olympics. •As for our recruits this year, our coaching staff went for speed, quickness and skill players who have good hands and good hockey sense. I believe the youngsters we have coming in have the proven ability to see the entire rink. How quickly they adjust to hockey in the MCBA is, of course, another matter. •The MCBA, as usual, will be extremely competitive. What with several key players lost throughout the Association both to graduation and the Olympic Team, I expect to see teams move up in the ranks and make solid runs for league honors in 1987-88. That, by itself, will make for an extremely entertaining year for the fans. Not for the coaches, necessarily, but certainly for the fans.•

GOPHER HEAD COACH DOUG WOOG
Returning to your alma mater as a head coach in any sport is not always considered by some the best possible career move. Some looked at it that way in the spring of 1985 when Doug Woog accepted the offer to head up the University of Minnesota hockey program. There were those negative thinkers w.ho believed the position should have gone to other candidates. To Woog, however, opinions of others did not make any difference. He was exactly where he had someday hope to be, head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey program. Now, two seasons do not make an entire career, but what Woog has already achieved has silenced the doomsayers. The record achieved by Woog's first two teams reads 69 wins against 27 losses and one tie for a winning percentage of .716. That latter figure is top of the line in anyone's league. The 69 wins are believed to be the most of any NCAA Division I teem covering the past two seasons. Included in his won-lost mark to date are two second place finishes in the M:1lA, two runner-up spots in the M:1lA playoffs, and as many trips to the NCAA Pinal Four where his Gopher teams earned a pair of third place trophies. Maybe Woog's crowning achievement has been defeating the Ill team from the Bast both years in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. Bach year the Gophers were seeded 114 in the West and had to go back on the road. Both series were played on the Boston University campus as the Gophers first knocked off the host school, and this year defeated Boston College which was playing its entire •home• season on the road while its new rink was being constructed. ffoog is always the first one to admit that since taking the Minnesota coaching position, •I have not scored as goal, made a check or a pass, or stopped a single shot on goal. Our players have done the job on the ice. All I sometimes do is open the gate on the bench. • Modest words for a young man w.ho has come through the ranks of coaching on every amateur level in the State of Minnesota, plus internationally at the junior, u.s. National and Olympic levels. In addition, Woog has long been an active national member and has chaired several key commdttees for ABAUS. Possibly the most important move Woog made when selected as Gopher head coach was to surround himself with an able staff. Former Gopher defenseman Bill Butters and another Minnesota native, w.ho gained All-America status for Wisconsin, Dean Talatous, joined Woog as full-time assistants. This past year . skating and conditioning expert Jack Blatherwick also became a full-time staffer. Two more men, Bob Shier and former UM goalie Paul Ostby, aid in various ways as part-time assistants on administrative, coaching and scouting levels. Woog has steadfastly maintained one aim in building his Minnesota teams. •Naturally, recruiting Minnesota high school players is our primary aim,• the coach often says. He always quickly adds, however, that •we are not 100' limited to this lone area. Jihenever the correct time and candidate arrives, we will gladly recruit from other states and Canada when the situation is right for us.• Woog has stated publicly on several occasions that is is not anti anyplace, but mearly pro-Minnesota when it comes to evaluating incoming talent. Maybe, just maybe, he is following something that went before at Minnesota. Jihen Gopher teams of 1974, 1976 and 1979 captured NCAA championships, each of those teams were made up entirely of Minnesota high school products.

87-88 GOPHER CXJTLOOK WITH HEAD COACH DOUG WOOG
•A big factor weighing an our success in 1987-88 is predicated on which of our players makes the u.s. Olympic Team. The onlg position where we could be phgsicallg shorted, however, is in goal. •If either John Blue or Rob Stauber makes the Olympic team, the one remaining will have to plag an awful lot of hockey for Minnesota next season. •we could also lose a lot of offensive punch, too, if forwards like \' Dave Snuggerud, Paul Broten, Tom Chorske and defenseman Todd Richards make the u.s. team. •so I believe the concerning news is if we lose some Olympic candidates. The good news, however, would be that when we get them back a gear later, they'll be much better.hockeg players. •All of us here at Minnesota are really pulling for each of our players who are reaching for a star this summer. To represent the USA at an Olympics is as high an honor an amateur athlete can achieve. I wish each of them good luck. •At the same time back home, a big keg for us this season will be impro vement of players returning on our squad w.ho didn't plag as full-time regulars last gear. Forwards Jon Anderson, Chris Mag and Brett Strot (as in VOTE), plus defensemen Brett Nelson and Jeff Pauletti simply must move up one notch and be consistant performers if we are to succeed without some of our more experienced players coming back. •saving already lost seniors Coreg Millen, Steve MacSwain, Garg Shopek and Tim Bergland, we will have some difficulty in scoring. It will be of further concern if we lose ang other big scorers to the Olympics. • As for our recruits this gear, our coaching staff went for speed, quickness and skill players w.ho have good hands and good hockey sense. I believe the youngsters we have coming in have the proven ability to see the entire rink. How quickly theg adjust to hockey in the WCBA is, of course, another matter. •The ~BA, as usual, will be extremely competitive. What with several keg players lost throughout the Association both to graduat~on and the Olympic Team, I expect to see teams move up in the ranks and make solid runs for league honors in 1987-88. That, bg itself, will make for an extremely entertaining gear for the fans. Not for the coaches, necessarily, but certainly for the fans.•
(MORE) • --- 4 --- GOPHER HEAD COACH DOUG WOOG
Returning to your alma mater as a head coach in any sport is not always considered by same the best possible career move. Some looked at it that way in the spring of 1985 when Doug Woog accepted the offer to head up the University of Minnesota hockey program. There were those negative thinkers who believed the position should have gone to other candidates. To Woog, however, opinions of others did not make any difference. He was exactly where he had someday hope to be, head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey program. Now, two seasons do not make an entire career, but what Woog has already achieved has silenced the doomsayers. The record achieved by Woog's first two teams reads 69 wins against 27 losses and one tie for a winning percentage of .716. That latt~~ figure is top of the line in anyone's league. The 69 wins are believed to be the most of any NCAA Division I team covering the past two seasons. Included in his won-lost mark to date are two second place finishes in the WCHA, two runner-up spots in the WCHA playoffs, and as many trips to the NCAA Final Four where his Gopher teams earned a pair of third place trophies. Maybe Woog's crowning achievement has been defeating the #1 team from the East both years in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. Each year the Gophers were seeded #4 in the West and had to go back on the road. Both series were played an the Boston University campus as the Gophers first knocked off the host school, and this year defeated Boston College which was playing its entire •home• season on the road while its new rink was being constructed. Woog is always the first one to admit that since taking the Minnesota coaching position, •I have not scored as goal, made a check or a pass, or stopped a single shot on goal. Our players have done the job on the ice. All I sometimes do is open the gate on the bench. • Modest words for a young man who has come through the ranks of coaching on every amateur level in the State of Minnesota, plus internationally at the junior, u.s. National and Olympic levels. In addition, Woog has long been an active national member and has chaired several key committees for AHAUS. Possibly the most important move Woog made when selected as Gopher head coach was to surround himself with an able staff. Former Gopher defenseman Bill Butters and another Minnesota native, who gained All-America status for Wisconsin, Dean Talafous, joined Woog as full-time assistants. This past year skating and conditioning expert Jack Blatherwick also became a full-time staffer. Two more men, Bob Shier and former UM goalie Paul Ostby, aid in various ways as part-time assistants on administrative, coaching and scouting levels. Woog has steadfastly maintained one aim in building his Minnesota teams. •Naturally, recruiting Minnesota high school players is our primary aim,• the coach often says. He always quickly adds, however, that •we are not 100% limited to this lone area. Whenever the correct time and candidate arrives, we will gladly recruit from other states and Canada when the situation is right for us.• Woog has stated publicly on several occasions that is is not anti anyplace, but mear ly pro-Minnesota when it comes to evaluating incoming talent. Maybe, just maybe, he is following something that went before at Minnesota. When Gopher teams of i974, 1976 and 1979 captured NCAA championships, each of those teams were made up entirely of Minnesota high school products.

June 8, 1987 For More InformattCm' call: Ken Buell (612) 624-8080 • For Release Upon Rec~ipt John Kaiser (612) 625-0854 MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- Coming off their second consecutive Bowl Game, enthusiasm for the Minnesota Golden Gopher Football Team has blossomed, and, according t~ Gopher ticket 11l8.D81er len Buell, the interest has manifested itself in another banner year of season ticket sales. ''We are beginning to operate routinely at what used to be considered record levels • '·' Buell said "The old record of 44,209 set in 1958 was topped in both 1985 (49,930) and 1986 (44,533) and we hope to go over it again this year." At last count, season ticket sales were quickly approaching the 40,000 mark again. However, the sale of season tickets ends June 30 for the general public and University of Minnesota staff. University of Minnesota students have until · the beginning of classes next Fall to order season tickets. Buell believes that a more enthusiastic student body is one of the reasons sales have been brisk. "Nearly 5,000 student tickets were sold in the Spring Early Bird Sale, making it one of the best Spring sales ever," he said~ "If we go over the 10,000 mark, it Will represent the best student sale since 1969, when 10,302 were sold." The rise in student ticket sales the last tW'O years is conststan.t··:wttlf·. the general trend of increased attendance. "From 1974 to 1984, student season ticket sales for football averaged 4576," Buell explained, "During 1985 and 1986 sales averaged 8,768 and early indications are that we will exceed that level this year. Student interest has not been this high in nearly 20 years." The general public is encouraged to buy season tickets by the June 30 closing date in order to ensure seating for projected early sellouts Michigan(Nov. 7) and Wisconsin(Nov. 14).

•A big factor weighing on our success in 1987-88 is predicated on which of our players makes the u.s. Olympic Team. The only position where we could be physically shorted, however, is in goal. •If either John Blue or Rob Stauber makes the Olympic team, the one remaining will have to play an awful lot of hockey for Minnesota next season. •we could also lose a lot of offensive punch, too, if forwards like Dave Snuggerud, Paul Broten, Tom Chorske and defenseman Todd Richards make the u.s. team. •so I believe the concerning news is if we lose some Olympic candidates. The good news, however, would be that when we get them back a year later, they'll be much better hockey players. •All of us here at Minnesota are really pulling for each of our players who are reaching for a star this summer. To represent the USA at an Olympics is ( as high an honor an amateur athlete can achieve. I wish each of them good luck. •At the same time back home, a big key for us this season will be impro vement of players returning on our squad who didn't play as full-time regulars last year. Forwards Jon Anderson, Chris May and Brett Strot (as in VOTE), plus defensemen Brett Nelson and Jeff Pauletti simply must move up one notch and be consistant performers if we are to succeed without some of our more experienced players coming back. •Having already lost· seniors Corey Millen, Steve MacSwain, Gary Shopek and Tim Bergland, we will have some difficulty in scoring. It will be of further concern if we lose any other big scorers to the Olympics. •As for our recruits this year, our coaching staff went for speed, quickness and skill players who have good hands and good hockey sense. I believe the youngsters we have coming in have the proven ability to see the entire rink. How quickly they adjust to hockey in the WCBA is, of course, another matter.
•The ~BA, as usual, will be extremely competitive. What with several key players lost throughout the Association both to graduation and the Olympic Team, I expect to see teams move up in the ranks and make solid runs for league honors in 1987-88. That, by itself, will make for an extremely entertaining year
for the fans. Not for the coaches, necessarily, bu~ r.ertainly for·the fans.•
---UM--- GOPHER HEAD COACH DOUG WOOG
Returning to your alma mater as a head coach in any sport is not always considered by some the best possible career move. Some looked at it that way in the spring of 1985 when Doug Woog accepted the offer to head up the University of Minnesota hockey program. There were those negative thinkers who believed the position should have gone to other candidates. To Woog, however, opinions of others did not make any difference. He was exactly where he had someday hope to be, head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey program. Now, two seasons do not make an entire career, but what Woog has already achieved has silenced the doomsayers. The record achieved by Woog's first two teams reads 69 wins against 27 losses and one tie for a winning percentage of .716. That latter figure is top of the line in anyone's league. The 69 wins are believed to be the most of any NCAA Division I team covering the past two seasons. Included in his won-lost mark to date are two second place finishes in the WCHA, two runner-up spots in the WCHA playoffs, and as many trips to the NCAA Final Four where his Gopher teams earned a pair of third place trophies. Maybe Woog's crowning achievement has been defeating the #1 team from the East both years in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. Each year the Gophers were seeded #4 in the West and had to go back on the road. Both series were played on the Boston University campus as the Gophers first knocked off the host school, and this year defeated Boston College which was playing its entire •home• season on the road while its new rink was being constructed. Woog is always the first one to admit that since taking the Minnesota ( coaching position, •I have not scored as goal, made a check or a pass, or stopped a single shot on goal. Our players have done the job on the ice. All I sometimes do is open the gate on the bench. • Modest words for a young man who has come through the ranks of coaching on every amateur level in the State of Minnesota, plus internationally at the junior, u.s. National and Olympic levels. In addition, Woog has long been an active national member and has chaired several key committees for AHAUS. Possibly the most important move Woog made when selected as Gopher head coach was to surround himself with an able staff. Former Gopher defenseman Bill Butters and another Minnesota native, who gained All-America status for Wisconsin, Dean Talafous, joined Woog as full-time assistants. This past year skating and conditioning expert Jack Blatherwick also became a full-time staffer. Two more men, Bob Shier and former UM goalie Paul Ostby, aid in various ways as part-time assistants on administrative, coaching and scouting levels. Woog has steadfastly maintained one aim in building his Minnesota teams. •Naturally, recruiting Minnesota high school players is our primary aim,• the coach often says. He always quickly adds, however, that •we are not 100% limited to this lone area. W.Oenever the correct time and candidate arrives, we will gladly recruit from other states and Canada when the situation is right for us.• Woog has stated publicly on several occasions that is is not anti anyplace, but mearly pro-Minnesota when it comes to evaluating incoming talent. Maybe, just maybe, he is following something that went before at Minnesota. W.Oen Gopher teams of 1974, 1976 and 1979 captured NCAA championships, each of those teams were made up entirely of Minnesota high school products.
---UM--- ASSISTANT COACH DEAN TALAFOUS
After spending one year away from the Gopher hockey program, assistant coach Dean Talafous returned home in 1985-86 as a member of coach Woog's staff. Dean was with UM for the 1982-83 and 1983-84 seasons as an assistant following excellent professional career in the NHL.
A native of Hastings, MN, •Dino•, as he is known to his charges, coupled an outstanding prep career in his h9metown by going on to become an All-Aamerican at the u. of Wisconsin.
Besides later playing for the Atlanta Flames, Minnesota North Stars and New York Rangers, Dean worked in four outings split between u.s. National and Team U5a Canada Cup squads.
A neck injury curtailed his pro career, so he helped coach much of the Gopher success his four years here. In 1984-85 he revamped the Minnesota Junior A Stars moving them from last place the previous year to a second place USBL finish.
Coach Talafous works mostly with the forwards and goalies, does a lot of advance scouting and is heavily involved in recruiting for the Gopher staff.
Dean and his wife, Kay, also a Hastings native, recently moved to Hudson, WI, where they live with daughter Amanda, 8, and son Peter, 7.

ASSISTANT COACH BILL BUTTERS
Bill is the newest member of the Gopher staff joining coach Woog for the 1985-86 season, the first year for both. A veteran defenseman of Gopher action in the early 1970's (actually 1969 thru 1973), Butters remains one of the most rugged defenders to ever play for the Maroon & Gold. . A White Bear Lake product, w.here he and his family still live, Bill enjoyed a well-traveled professional hockey career after completing his collegiate days. He originally signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but only played one year in their farm system. Following that came two skates with the old St. Paul Fighting Saints sandwiched around a trip to Houston, also of the w.HA. In 1976 he was traded to Edmonton (WHA), and then to Hartford (WHA) before coming the next season to the NBL North Stars. Bill played there two seasons before hanging up his competitive skates.
He later served as assistant coach with the Oklahoma City Blazers, and then spent five years at Breck School in the Twin Cities. During the latter time he also worked for API, Inc. as a project manager in the construction field.
Coach Butters showed his mark during his rookie teaching campaigns working almost entirely with the blueline corps. He also handles many of the administrative duties of the coaching staff.
Bill and his wife, Debby, a former UM cheerleader from LeSeur, are the parents of son Ben, 13, and daughters Anne, 11, and Rebecca, 7.
---UM--- ASSIS'I'AN'I' COACH JACK BLATHERWICK
Four years ago members of the Gopher hockey team began experiencing everything new about physical conditioning when Jack Blatherwick came on the scene just once in awhile. 'I'he next year Jack began working more and more with UM players in a total conditioning program.
A veteran of 11 years as head coach in hockey and football at Breck School in the 'I'win Cities, Jack, in recent years, has worked on a Doctor's Degree in Physiology with special emphasis on physical con ditioning at the u. of M, his alma mater. Only completion of his thesis remains.
He had worked with Gopher players under coach Herb Brooks in the late '70's, and then spent five more years toiling with Brooks and the NHL NY Rangers. In addtian, Blatherwick was the Exercise Physiologist for the 1980 and 1984 u.s. Olympic Hockey 'I'eams. He is also Director of the Sports Medicine Co~ttee for ABAUS.
Besides his rigorous training schedules off the ice, Jack also coaches Gopher players in skating intervals an the ice. His dry land training techniques are also cansidered innovative by many amateur hockey coaches. Jack is single and continues to live in his hometown of Minneapolis.

PAR'I'-'I'IME ASSIS'I'AN'I' COACH BOB SHIER
Bob Shier is in his fifth year on the Gopher staff, his third under coach Woog. Although he owns part-time status, his contributions are varied and many. Prior to joining the UM staff, Bob served four years as an assistant coach at Woodbury High School in the 'I'win Cities.
He attended the u. of M. in 1969-71 and played on the Gopher fresh man team under head coach Glen Sonmor. A graduate of Cretin High in St. paul, Bob appeared in the old Independent School state tournaments of 1967 and '68. 'I'hen came two years of Junior A hockey with the St. Paul Vulcans before he turned in his competitive skates.
'I'oday he is a sales representative in graphic arts and industrial rollers for Ideal Roller Company. Shier's work with the Gopher program consists of much administrative detail besides additional behind the scenes tasks of scouting and coordinating recruiting efforts. He will also this year spend most of his coaching time working with the var sity reserve squad.
Bob is at home in Woodbury with wife Pat, and their chidren, sons Michael and Bryan, 16 and 11, and daughters Amy and Katie, 14 and 9.

The school was built on the east bank of the Mississippi River with little more than the pioneers faith in education. The school struggled financially in its early years and was forced to close during the Civil War. But the institution survived, partly because of the guidance and financial aid of Minneapolis businessman John Sargent Pillsbury, who is known as "the Father of the University." The Morrill Act or Land-Grant Act, signed into law by President Lincoln in 1862, also played a major role in the school's survival by giving each state land to be used to provide education for the people of the state. From those faltering origins, the University has grown into the single greatest center of creativity in the state. The students it educates, the ideas it generates and the medical, scientific, agricultural and economic activities it sti1nulates represent an enormous resource that contributes directly to Minnesota's economic, intellectual, and cultural life. Today, the University of Minnesota is an international research institution, a land-grant school with a strong tradition of education and public service, and a metropolitan university. The Twin Cities campus, the largest in the University's five-campus system, is among the most comprehensive in the nation, with 18 colleges that offer a full range of academic and professional degrees. A comprehensive campus in Duluth offers undergraduate and graduate programs in northeastern Minnesota. The Morris campus, in the western part of the state, provides a four-year liberal arts program. And two year technical colleges in Crookston, in northwestern Minnesota, and Waseca, in southern Minnesota, provide paraprofessional and technical education, primarily in agriculture-related fields. Under the leadership of its president, Kenneth H. Keller, the University has embarked on a course designed to build on its traditions of excellence to make the University one of the top five public institutions of higher education in the nation. Keller's plan, entitled "Commitment to Focus", is aimed at concentrating the University's efforts and resources on what the institution does best. By focusing on the special capabilities of the University, Keller hopes to foster cooperation rather ethan competition among the state's higher education institutions. Research is key among those special capabilities. Research accomplish1nents at the University have improved the lives-sometimes even saved the lives-of people thoughout the world. Among the achievements that have come from the University researchers have been the continuing success of the world's leading kidney transplant program at the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic, the developa~nt of the phenomenally successfully wheat variety known as 'Eva' wheat, the development of the world's first total body X-ray scanner, the isolation of uranium isotope U-235, the virtual elimination of dozens of poultry and livestock diseases, and the production of a live calf from freeze-dried sperm. In addition to fostering research projects that have obvious and immediate benefits, the University is a center for the basic research that makes scientific breakthroughs possible. Service to the people of Minnesota is another way the University plays an important role in the quality of life in the state. More than 150 University programs reach out to Minnesotans, solving problems and bringing to communities the University's vast store of knowledge. The Minnesota Extension Service, for example, reaches almost a third of,the people of Minnesota each year through almost 22,000 educational programs. A variety of cultural and sports events also brings Minnesotans in touch with the University. Performances by major dance troupes are highlights of the year • Large crowds attend Gopher football, basketball, and hockey g~nes. The Centennial Showboat and free concerts on the Northrup Mall are popular summer attractions. Children enjoy the touch-and-see room at the James Ford Bell Museum of Natural • History and the animal barns of the st. Paul campus. Of course, one of the University's most important contributions to the state is its graduates. At the University, students are exposed to knowledge-the newest and the most ancient-and emerge prepared to tackle today's problems. .. . UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION Kenneth H.

"We're making progress," coach Gutekunst says, "but what our first scrimmage of fall practice last Saturday told us was that we have a lot of work to do." 'l'he Golden GQphers kick off their '87 season on September 12 when hosting Northern Iowa. Minnesota has, in fact, four straight at haoe including the Big Ten opener October 3 against Purdue before they hit the road. And, while that home-field advantage could work in Minnesota's favor, Gutekunst is well aware of how much must be accanpli:Shed before the Golden Gophers will be ready. In that first controlled affair of fall drills last weekend, the defense held the upper hand. And Gutekunst is well aware of the fact that it was a defense ! e which is facing the task of replacing nine starters from a year ago. All .of which means that a "re-constructed~' defense was far ahead of the offense in the early going. "There was an inconsistency on the part of our quarterbacks in that scrimmage,• Gutekunst said. •we used five different players at that position and never really got things going." Statistics showed that Rickey Foggie hit only two of six attempts for 47 yards and Alan Holt connected on only one of three for. just one yard. Three "newcomers• didn't famllllch better. SCott Schaffner was two-of-three for 16 yards while Keswic Joiner missed his lone attempt of the day as did John BObinski. In the rushing department, Darrell Tholrpson picked up where he left off last spring and had 46 yards in nine carries. Marcus Evans contributed 41 ~ds in eight eacries while Gary Getchman notched· 34 in 10 atteupts and Roselle Richardson got ~3 in nine •. That lack of productivity on the part of the offense may go back to what Gutekunst has maintained all fall •••• M~nnesota must replace three starters in its offensive line and that may be a bigger task than the work ahead for the defense. Gutekunst was not totally displeased, however. "The offense executed well for a first scri.Dmage," he maintained, "and our offensive backs ran well.' And there was some good hitting on both sides of the ball." ~ It's all part of making progress. (MORE} 51615th Avenue S.E., Bierman Field Athletic Bldg., Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 GOPHER TALES •••••• Chris Gaiters, Minnesota's promising wide receiver, missed last saturday's scrimmage due to a bout of asthma. He was expected to be back in pads this week. ***** Depth remains a major concern for Coach Gutekunst, and he continues to maintain that help in that area is going to ha,ve to be provided by newcomers. Those "rookies" are expected to get additional scrutiny this week. ***** Although there were four f~es recorded in the first scrimmage, only one went into the "fUilbles lost" column. And on the credit side of the ledger, only two penalties were stepped off •••• both against the offense. ***** Northem Iowa, Minnesota's opening-game opponent Septeni>er 12, kicks off its 1987 season this weekend. The Panthers are slated to meet McNaese State in Lake Charles, LA, on saturday. ***** cal Stoll, former Golden Gopher football coach, visited Minnesota •s fall camp last saturday and was invited by Coach Gutekunst to speak to the squad. Stoll, who recently underwent heart-transplant surgery, stressed "being a competitor" to the players. And he made note of the fact that "I'm 38-days old •••• a miracle from God." *****. Minnesota is expected to continue with two-a-day practices through the week. A mid-week scrinmage may be on the agenda, and then the final tune-up scheduled for saturday. After that it will be a matter of making final preparations for the Northern Iowa confrontation •. ***** SPECIAL NarES TO THE MEDIA: Coach Gutekunst will hold his first weekly press luncheon next wednesday, Septetrber 9 at 12 noon in the Gold Room at Williams Arena. All members of the press that cover the Golden Gophers are invited. A special telephone interview will be conduc~ with coach Darrell Mudra of the Panthers will be made during that luncheon. ***** 'lbe Big Ten Conference will begin fts weekly 'l'elecon:ference. next TUesday, Septenber 8. Coach Gutekunst will be interviewed at 11:20 a.m. (Central time).

'I'he WCHA, of which the u. of Minnesota is a charter member, will con solidate its playoffs from three to two series, while the NCAA will expand its field from eight to 12 teams and be extended from two to three weekends. The first round M:'HA playoffs will again include all eight member schools and, based on the :final regular season standings, see #8 play at #l, #7 at #2, etc. 'l'hese series, however, bav.~, been changed from two-game, total-goals to a best o:f three format. · The :four first round survivors then meet in a single elimination tour nament Sunday and Monday, March 6-7, at the St. Paul Civic Center to decide the 1988 Associaticn playoff cbampi.on. As the latter dates fall duri.ng the week of the Hi.nnesota State High School 'l'ournamet, also at the Civic Center, officials there are calling it •the biggest week of hockey in the u.s.• The WCHA playoff champion, along with playoff winners from the other three major collegiate ~nferences (CCHA, HBA, BCAC), receives an NCAA first round bye and is automatically seeded into the NCAA quarter-final round. Following the respective league playoffs, the NCAA selection committee w111 choose eight at-large teams, including at least one independent, to mall:e up its first round field. These schools meet an the home ice of the four highest ranked teams. Of the three teams remaining after the WCHA plal}of:f champion has been determined, ani}: or all could be voted into the NCAA first round. Winners of the latter series then plal} on the home ice of the four playoff champions in the quarter-finals. Pairings w1ll again be made based on national ranld.ngs. Both the last two rounds will use a two-game, total-goal format. 'I'be four survivors then meet at Lake Placid, NY, in the 1988 NCAA Cba:mpicnsbip Tournament March 31/April 2. Minnesota, the last two seasons, bas :finished runner-up in both the WCHA regular season and playoff standings, and ended third at the NCAA tournaments. Bead coach Dotg Woog's two-l}ear record of 69-27-l is believed to have produced the most wins by any NCAA Division I hockey school nationally. This season, however, may not prove as fruitful as five key Minnesota players, each w1th eligibility remaining, have been named to the 1988 u.s. Olympic Hockey 'l'eam. Included are goalie John Blue, defenseman Todd Richards, and forwards 'l'om Cborske, Dave Snuggerud and Todd Okerlund. Another plal}er selected, center Corey Millen, was Minnesota.' s leading scorer the last two years • but completed his fourth year with the Gophers last March. Millen also played in tbe 1984 Winter Olg.mpics for Team USA. ---UM--- ,It ' '~1 On Saturday, August 29, 1987, an Ad Hoc Committee of the Assembly Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics (ACIA) of the University of~Minnesota held a hearing regarding allegations of violations of NCAA and Big Ten rules by Rickie Foggie. The allegations arise out of an airplane trip that Foggie took in February, 1985 to attend the funeral of his grandmother. At that time, Foggie was a freshman at the University and asked an assistant coach to assist him in returning home for the funeral. The assistant coach arranged and paid for the travel. Foggie paid for the trip approximately six months later. This is an "extra benefit" in violation of NCAA rules. In addition, when Foggie was interviewed by the Big Ten and NCAA investigators about this travel, he initially failed to disclose accurately the circumstances of the repayment. Foggie has now corrected his description of the events concerning repayment and has stated that the repayment in August of 1985 has been fully and accurately described. In addition, Foggie has stated that he will cooperate fully with both Big Ten and NCAA investigators. As a result of these activities, the ACIA has declared Foggie ineligible as it___ is required to do under NCAA legislation and has authorized an appeal to reinstate the e eligibility for ten of the eleven regularly scheduled foot- ball games. Fogg~e may appeal this decision within the University in accord with ACIA procedures. • The declaration of ineligibility can be appealed to the NCAA. This involves the submission of a written appeal to the staff of the NCAA, who make an initial determination in the matter. It is expected that the University will do this today or tomorrow. If the University is dissatisfied with the determination of the staff of the NCAA, it may take the matter for a hearing in front of the NCAA Eligibility committee. Issues relating to the conduct of the assistant coach are being_ addressed within proper administrative channels at--- the University. Contact: Deon Stuthman Paul Giel - . ~ . , ,_.lla~;r.,p.

Humphrey Metrodotnt: with a non-conference assignment against the University of Northern Iowa. It will be the first football meeting in history between these two schools, but it will be the first of three-straight non-conference games at hon~ and four straight HHH shootouts overall. The invading Panthers opened their '87 slate last weekend with a cane-from behind 34-31 victory at McNeese State and thus have the advantage of working out those first-g~oe jitters or mistakes. While UNl was getting that one game under its belt, Coach John Gutekunst was sending his charges through their final sc~immage of pee-season practice at the Doole. Overall, Gutekunst felt it was a good session. "OUc offensiv~ line blocked well," he said, "and there was some hard running ... It had to rank aa a pretty good final tune-up. Gutekunst used several quarterbacks in the scri~nage •••• noneof them were Rickey Foggie who is not expected to play against UNI ••• and all performed well. ''Our quarterbacks did a good job, " Gutekunst said. ''Alan Holt and Scott Schaffner ran the offense well. Holt did a good job of reading the option, and Schaffner threw pretty well." e Holt, who was four-of-four in the scrinmage for 41 yards and one touchdown, is expected to start against the Panthers. Schaffner, who was six-of-10 for 95 yards and two touchdowns, has been moved up to the number two spot for Saturday's opener. · Expected to join Holt in the starting backfield are Darrell Thompson who had four rushes for 27 yards in that final scrimmage rutd Roselle Richardson. Opening wide receivers will be Dennis Carter at split er~ and Jason Bruce at flanker. But Gary Couch, who had a big day last saturday, and Chris Gaiters also are tabbed for extensive duty. Defensively Jon r.everenz who was credited by Gutekunst for being "All over the field" last Saturday will team with Terry Hcycak at the inside linebacker spots, and that should be a plus for the Golden Gophers. Two newcomers ••• at least to those positions •••• will open at outside linebacker. They are Brian Bonner and Ron Goetz, pair of converted fullbacks. The secondary also has some new faces with Charles McCree, Craig Welter, Eddie Miles and Warren Berry possible starters. Up front, Gary Hadd, Doug Mueller and Ross Ukkelberg look like the leaders. Gutekunst has again tabbed Chip Lohmiller, a Minnesota record-holder, for the placen~nt chores along with Brent Herbel the punting duties. Minnesota fans are expected to see Richardson returning punts again in '87 while Gaiters and Thompson are two probabl~ kickoff return specialists. ~ Following saturday's home opener, the Golden Gophers will entertain California and Central Michigan on successive Saturdays before opening the Big Ten season at home on October 3. Then Minnesota makes its first road trip of the year, on October 10, when invadinq Northw~~te~~.

In compliance with NCAA rules the University had declared Foggie ineligible last week after determining that he had received an extra benefit from a coach and had not accurately disclosed the circumstances to NCAA and Big Ten investigator-s. In accordance with NCAA procedures, the University appealed this decision to the NCAA and asked that eligibility be restored for ten of the eleven games. The NCAA staff had initially __ _r\1Led. tha.t_ Foggie sho-uld be inelig:ibJ.e for three games-. The University appealed this decision to the Eligibility Committee which heard the appeal this morning. The Committee called Men's Athletic Director, Paul Giel, this afternoon wi'th their decision.

The allegations arise out of an airplane trip that Foggie took in February, 1985 to attend the funeral of his grandmother. At that time, Foggie was a freshman at the University and asked an assistant coach to assist him in returning home for the funeral. The assistant coach arranged and paid for the travel. Foggie paid for the trip approximatel:Y~ six ,mon,;ths later .... , This is an "extra benefit" in violation of NCAA rules. In addition, when Foggie was interviewed by the Big Ten and NCAA investigators about this travel, he initially failed to disclose accurately the circumstances of the repayment. Foggie has now corrected his description of the events concerning repayment and has stated that the repayment in August of 1985 has been fully and accurately described. In addition, Foggie has stated that he will cooperate fully with both Big Ten and NCAA investigators. As a result of these activities, the ACIA has declared Foggie ineligible as it is required to do under NCAA legislation and has authorized an appeal to reinstate the eligibility for ten of the eleven regularly scheduled foot ball games. Foggie may appeal this decision within the University in accord with ACIA procedures. • The declaration of ineligibility can be appealed to the NCAA. This involves the submission of a written- appeal to the staff of the NCAA, who make an initial determination in the matter. It is expected that the University will do this today or· tomorrow. If the University is dissatisfied with the determination of the staff of the NCAA, it may take the matter for a hearing in front of the NCAA Eligibility Committee.

Kickoff for that intersectional clash in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome has been moved to 6:20 p.m. and will be part of the Big Ten Conference Television Game of the Week progranming. Coach John Gutekunst's Minnesota contingent will be seeking its second straight triumph in saturday night's clash after opening the 1987 campaign last weekend with a 24-7 triumph over the University of Northern Iowa. "We did a pretty good job," Gutekunst said after that win. "Our defense was excellent in the early going, and our offense really got off to a great start." Those efforts enabled Minnesota to jtmp off to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, go ahead 24-0 in the third and coast to the decisive first-game victory •••• the 12th straight successful opener for the u of M. "We got into some of those first-game probleJNt later on," Gutekunst admitted, "and then we had some penalties, committed some ~urnovers and missed some · assignments. But overall it was a pretty good opener for us." Invading California will put a 1-o season re09rd on the line against the Golden Gophers. The Golden Bears also won their opener 42-Q over the University of the Pacific (the same team that tipped Minnesota a year ago) two weeks ago but then fell 27-25 to San Jose State this past weekend on a last-second field goal. Minnesota knows it could have its hands full this week, and it knows that the calibre of its opponent will be one grade higher than was the case last Saturday. . The Golden Gophers also know they must go into the game without Rickey Foggie who will be sitting out the second game of his two-game suspension from the ~CAA~ And that means that Alan Holt again will be at the controls for Minnesota. For Holt it will be the third start of his career at the U of M (he started the ~chigan State game two years ago when Foggie was injured) • Last week against UNI, Holt held up well. He rushed 12 times for 44 yards but lost 22 on sacks to finish with 22. He also hit five-of-12 passes for-63 yards. And he did not throw an interception. · Perhaps more critical would be the health of fullback Roselle Richardson who turned an ankle early in the opener. His availability remains a question for invading' Claifornia. If not ready, Richardson would be replaced by Ed Penn. One Golden Gopher that IS healthy is Darrell Thompson, Minnesota's preDder tailback who rushed 22 tines for 156 yards and three touchdowns in the opener. It was the seventh 100-yard game of his career at the U of M. Defensively Jon Leverenz, who had five solo tackles and five assists. (with three tackles for losses of 12 yards) again is expected to lead the way while Chip Lohmiller, who was perfect with three placements and a field goal against UNI, also hopes to keep his string going. FOR THE LATEST IN GOPHER SPORTS DIAL 612-625-7887. GOPHER TALES. • • Coach Gutekunst praised his offensive coordinator:·, Larcy Beckish, for a job well done last week. "Beckish did an excellent job getting Holt and our offense ready for Northern Iowa." Beckish responded by saying, ''We just asked our people to play hard, and they did that. I was especially happy that we were able to play as many people as we did, and that we were able to win the first one." **** Gutekunst thought UNI was a good opponent. "That wus a very scrappy ballclub, and we know they were a much better offensive team than they showed Saturday. Hopefully that was a credit to our defense." **** In the turnover department, Gutekunst had a tip-of-the-hat for Frank Jackson who recorded an interception and Doug Mueller who notched a fumble recovery. Jackson is a freshman cornerback who made his first collegiate start .against UNI and Mueller is a senior noseguard. **** Gutekunst hopes for continued improvement this (week, especially from the people who were playing extensively for the first time. "v~e n~placed nine defensive starters and three offensive starters fcom a year ago," he pointed out. "We were not as consistent as I would like, but I was pleased with the play of our young defensive secondary." **** When asked in the post-game press conference what kind of grade he would give his youthful Golden Gophers in their opening game win, Gutekunst replied •••• "I'd give them a W!" **** If Roselle Richardson's ankle does not permit him to play Saturday, and Ed Penn moves into the starting spot, Terry Stewart would go onto the two-deep depth chart as the backup at fullback. **** Ross Ukkelberg, junior defensive tackle, was expected to be a starter for Minnesota but was held out of the UNI game because of an ankle injury. He's apparently going to be ready for California and will be listed as a backup for the Golden Gophers. **** Even with Foggie sidelined, Minnesota's quarterback situation appears sound. ~ot only did Alan Holt perfono well in the opener, his backup •••• freshman Scott Schaffner •••• did a superb job. Taking over in the fourth quarter, Schaffner hit three of seven attempts for 60 yards.
