One Of college hockey's most heated rivalries will boil over onto the ice at Williams Arena Friday and Saturday nights, January 3rd and 4th, as North Dakota goes against Minnesota. Last winter, the Gophers pulled a major coup when they won a pair from the Sioux on North Dakota's friendly home ice at Grand Forks. With new coach Rube BjorlaDAn now at the helm, North Dakota picked up a measure of revenge two weeks ago With a 5 to 4, lli! overtime win over the Gophers in the finals of the Minnesota Classic at the Met Sports Center. Now both teams are back into the rugged part of their Western Collegiate Hockey Association schedule. North Dakota, certainly one of the nation I s powers, has an unbeaten 6 and 0 WCHA mark, while the Gophers rest in the 3rd spot With 3 wings and a loss. The chips will be on the line this weekend for Minnesota, as they must take on the Sioux again ~ weekend, at North Dakota. Coach Glen Somor is well aware of the importance that this big series takes on. The action will be plentiful and spiriteQ" as only a Minnesota-North Dakota hockey series can be. Donlt miss it! Game time ~.s 8:00 p.m. on both nights.

Minnetonka Mailed January 7, 1969 For Release Upon Receipt '--~~~from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455 ng rival, Michigan in an 8:00 p.m. game Saturday at Williams Arena. Michigan cames to town with a 1-0 record in the Big Ten (7-3 overall). Last Saturday, the Wolverines defeated favored Iowa 99-92 in overtime. Sparking the win was Michiganrs ace, center Rudy Tomjanovich. Tomjanovich scored 26 points, eight in the overtime period, to spark the Michigan win. But Tomjanovich isn't the only one the Gopher~ will have to stop. The other four starters - Dennis Stewart, Richard Carter, Ken Maxey and Dan Fife - each scored in double figures against the HaWkeyes and all, except Huey, are averaging in double figures for the season. Minnesota Coach Bill Fitch must rally his squad from last week's 80-58 loss to Illinois•. l'We were reaJ.1:y' never in the game,lI Fitch says, l'but we never quit trying.1I For the first six minutes of the game, the Gophers were staying close to the Illini, but a burst of eight straight points gave Illinois the big lead it never lost. If the Gophers are to win, they must cut down on turnovers. Minnesota gave up the ball 16 times to the Illini without getting a shot at the basket. Too, the Gophers must play a rugged defense to slow-down the Wolverines scoring machine. In rolling to its 7-3 record, Michigan is averaging 96 points a game. However, they have also given up an average ot 89 points a game, a figure which the Gophers have not reached this season (Minnesotars high is the 85 points scored in the win over Detroit). It history is an indication, the game will be another high-scoring affair. Last year, Michigan won twice-ll3-lOl and 105-92. '!he Minnesota scores were the Gophers top offensive performances of the year. So the Gopher defense, pierced by 1";oo1s r sharpshooting last week, will have to rise to stop Michiganrs offensiva-a task which many have tried but failed this season.

Last weekend, the Gophers and Sioux split a pair of games at Minneapolis, with North Dakota w:i.nni.ng 3-2 Friday and Minnesota coming out on top 5-2 Saturday. North Dakota, second in the WCHA at 7-1, could move into first place with a pair of wins as leader Michigan (4-0) hosts defending NCAA champion Denver in a weekend serie~ at Ann Arbor. On the same token, Minnesota needs no worse than a split to remain in early contention for the WCHA title.
