I asked Coach Mason about this situation yesterday after reading Neil Koepke's column to see if I could find out what is going on. The 2-2 referee-linesmen may be used experimenatlly in some non-conference games early in the season but will not be used in any Conference games. The CCHA coaches would prefer to stay with the 1 ref, 2 linesmen but believe standardization is more important than holding out for their preferred system, so the 2 ref 1 linesman arrangement will be used in most games, including all Conference games. I got the impression that the 2-2 will not be used very much, and only in early season so they can look at it. Tonight, the end of the first week of practice, will be the Green and White game. I didn't ask the specific question, but I expect to see 2 Rs and 1 L. ---- Item 2. The Michigan State captains for this year are Brian Smolinski and Wes McCauley. It appears they will be on the same team in the Green and White tonight. Also looks like a couple changes from the Roster that was released by the CCHA which Keith Instone reported, but nothing significant. Might learn a little more this noon at the first Blue Line Luncheon.
