North Stars Open Saturday Sly and John Miszuk. Leo Boi-vin, Tom Reid and Lou Nanne are back, but they didn't start out on the blue line last year with the club. "Offensively our team played adequately," said the fiery Blair. "But there were too many guys who were satisfied offensively and forgot about defense." Ironman Cesar Maniago, who appeared in 64 of the club's 76 games, will be getting more of a rest this year in the nets with Fern Rivard expected to be his backup goalie. Danny Grant, the NHL rookie of the year, led the North Stars in scoring from his wing position with 34 goals and 31 But even, he too Is being primed for defense.

"Defense is the only area left for him to become a great hockey player," Blair said. "And he knows this." Grant, center Danny O'Shea and wing Claude Larose formed Minnesota's great G-O-L line of last year, pouring in a combined 74 goals. Ray Cullen, the team's No. 2 scorer despite a fractured ankle with 26 goals and 38 assists, is returning at center of a line also including tough J. P.

Parise, 22 gals, and Bill Collins, 9 goals, or' Bill Goldsworthy, 14 goals. Collins will be a member of the time-eating penalty killing unit. i I 1 2 I i I t- rt Winona Oaily Newt Winona, Minnesota WEDNESDAY, OCT. 8, 1969 line," Blair said early in the preseason. "The forwards have to pay more attention to checking, get more tough in their checks.

If the forwards don't check, the defense is in trouble. "Defensemen are going to have to take men out in front of the nets more thoroughly. Our goaltending has to improve. Last year they stopped the first man, but lost the second and third because defense didn't take their men out. We were allowing far too many shots on goal." Blair has decided on a youth movement, to build for the future and to instill some more aggressiveness, in his squad.

New defensemen are Barry Gibbs, Tom Polanic, Darryl MINNEAPOLIS The Minnesota North Stars have been eating, sleeping and drinking defense in their National Hockey League1 pre season. Defense was a forgotten art in 1968-69. The North Stars allowed more goals (270) than any of the 11 other teams. Wren Blair, general manager-coach, insisted after the North Stars finished with the NHL's worst record of 18-43-15 they would be better defensively "all the way down the line." The North Stars try out what they have learned Saturday night in their NHL opener at the Metropolitan Sports Center against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Two former college football teammates at Gustavus Adol-phus College, Marv Gunderson and Don Swan-son, will be across opposing lines Friday night. Gunderson is in his sixth year as head coach of the Winona Winhawks and Swanson directs Minneapolis Patrick Henry. The Win-hawks and Henry meet in a 7:30 p.m. non-conference game at Winona's Jefferson Field. Gunderson was a tackle at Gustavus and Swanson played a guard slot.

Both played on teams that were never beaten over a four-year span. "Gundy and I are real good friends up and until things like this Friday night, but not during," Swanson said. Each coach will aTso hope to send his team on a late season winning streak. The Hawks and Henry have identical 1-4 records. Winona is a member of the Big Nine Conference and Henry competes in the Minneapolis Conference.

Henry lost its first four games: 20-14 to Minneapolis South; 12-7 to Edison, 29-14 to Washburn and 22-8 to Southwest. The Pats' only win came last week over Minneapolis West. The final score was 40-6. Swanson's charges were hurt early in the season when number one halfback Tom Pendzimas fractured an ankle in a scrimmage against St. Louis Park and Jim Ritter, another halfback, dislocated a shoufder.

Both are lost for the season. Pendzimas, 5 9 and 160 pounds, was the fastest man on the team and the best pass receiver. Starting offensively Friday night against the Hawks are: Mike Osgood (180) and Mark Ostlund (180) at ends, Steve Schwartz (200) and Greg Pierson (175) at tackles, Mike Barger (190) and Mark Larson (170) at guards, Arnie Wodtke K190) at center, John Eickholt (190) at quarterback, Kevin Cas-sidy (150) tnd Jeff Lundeen (150) at halfbacks and Ron Wodke (150) at fullback. Defensively, Swanson will use basically the same personnel. He will have Osgood and Ostlund at ends, Schwartz and Pierson at tackles, Arnie Wodtke at guard, Barger at middle linebacker, Ron Wodke and Larson at linebacker spots and Lundeen, Cassidy and Jerdee in the secondary.

"We have a young team, we are slow and just don't have much this year," Swanson said. "I'm not singing the blues," he added, "just being Swanson talked about Friday again, saying, "We ere looking forward to coming down to Winona and the game should prove to be one heck of a game."
