THE DIFFERENCE By Brent Checketts Deseret News sports writer Two teams with opposite hockey styles clash tonight at the Salt Palace, when the Salt Lake Uc'len Eagles host the surprising Seattle Totems at 7:30 p.m. The Totems, a collection of more or less unknown hockey players, werent given much of a chance this season by scribes around the Western Hockey League. After all, Seattle finished fifth last season and lost both its top scorer and top defenseman from that team. Coach Phil Maloney, howev- er, has instilleJ the Totes with conservaa tive type of game that has brought success The Totes are currently In second-plac- e close-checkin- in WHL standings, only two points behind the San Diego Gulls.

Csonka asked about two members of Minnesotas Purple Gang front four. Csonka said linebacker Roy Winston put the hardest tackle on him he can remember in a regular season game against the Vikings last year. It was a devastating tackle, Csonka remembered. I was stretched out on the sidelines and Coach Don Shula told me Youre not hurt. What I told him back is something you cant print. Im not to the point where I'm so dedicated Ill play with a broken back. Winston, middle linebacker Jeff Siemon and Wally Hi'genberg are sure tacklers. Winston said, I think the way to stop them is simply to have a total team defense that puts out and beats each man in front of him. Theyre very versatile in their running. They can run inside, they can run outside. They run all sorts of variations. You go into every football Winston continued, game, no matter who youre playing to shut off the running game and make a team pass. Siemon said, My biggest concern is with Csonka because most of his plays will be in my area. Imcon-cemewith Mercury Morris in a collective way because I think he can do more things to hurt you than Csonka. He can break the big play where Csonkas gonna get his five, six, seven, 10 yards." Siemon added, Morris has the ability to break the big one.
