2JJ THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR Oct. 1, 1970 Grant's body checks win cheers about scoring goals (Danny scored 34 when he was named Rookie-of-the-Year in 1968-69 and 29 last year)." Grant admitted that the boos got to him last year. "It bothered me to the point where I didn't want to play hockey," he said candidly. "I guess I take things too seriously. I know fans expect a lot from me, maybe too much.

When they started getting on me it made for a long winter. "I thought I had a good year and a not so good year. But that is all behind me now. I feel I can score 40 goals and if it comes to fighting I will and not worry about it." again to see if his aggressiveness is for real. Twice he threw hard body checks at Toronto forwards last Saturday and was usually back-checking on defense.

"Look, I'm not going to be a killer," Grant admitted during training camp in Winnipeg, Canada. "I just want them to know I'm around. I'll never run all over the ice chasing a guy because that's not my style. But I will try to take a guy out with my body. "I have been completely concerned about checking in camp," Grant added.

"This is the first year I have not had to worry By MIKE LAMEY Minneapolis Star Staff Writer A year ago Danny Grant listened without saying much as cheers turned to jeers because of his ineffectual play on defense. Last Saturday fans applauded Grant and his new aggressiveness in a game against Toronto. Danny responded to the cheers again Wednesday night, scoring a goal in the North Stars' 4-2 exhibition loss to their Cleveland farm team in Thief River Falls, Minn. Friday night, when Minnesota meets St. Louis at Metropolitan Sports Center (8 p.m.), spectators will be watching Grant A narrow brush with victory Saturday cost Wake Forest the No.

1 position in the Bottom Ten. The Deacons actually came within a touchdown of winning a football game, losing only 19-14 to Florida State. The near victory dropped Wake (0-3) to No. 2 in the ratings, behind Navy, which rolled to a second consecutive defeat. The Middies (or Minis, as they are sometimes called), followed up their 55-7 loss to highly over-rated Penn State with a 28-14 defeat to Boston College to jump from No.

8 to No. 1. It appears that Navy may be building a dynasty. Seven of the starters on its defensive squad are sophomores, meaning the Midshipmen will have the nucleus of a poor team returning for two more years. In the Ivy League, Brown and Columbia opened their season by beating up on two little guys, Rhode Island and Lafayette.

From now on, they'll have to pick on people their own size. Lafayette hasn't had a good team since the Revolutionary War. In an exhibition game against Vancouver, Grant challenged Wayne Makl, who last year was involved in a stick fight with Boston's Ted Green which sidelined Green for the season, Grant dropped his gloves, but Maki skated away. Ray a scored twice and Dennis O'Brien and Norm Beaudin once each for Cleveland. The Stars' exhibition record is now 3-3-1.

BOW HUNTERS LET'S GO! CANADIENS SHIFT STYLE TORONTO, (VP) The new-look Montreal Ca-nadiens rocked a rookie-laden Toronto defense for three early goals Wednesday night and hung on for a 4-3 National Hockey League exhibition victory over the Maple Leafs. The Canadiens, exhibiting a heavy-hitting style of hockey in contrast to the fast-skating brand that was their trade mark for years, struck for goals by Pete Mahovlich, rookie de-fenseman Guy Lapointe and center Fran Huck before the Leafs were able to untrack themselves. Marathon run set for Oct. 11 The City of Lakes Marathon Run, sponsored by the Minnesota Road Runners Club will be held Sunday, Oct. 11, at 1:30 p.m.

saia a press conierence is scheduled Friday. Most followers felt it would be to announce that former Twin Manager Billy Martin would "I would estimate everybody is from two to five percent faster," said Warmath. He has said in the past that added speed on the new turf will mean harder collisions, "but we don't know yet what effect that will have." The Gophers are experimenting with shoes for running on the new surface. They started out wearing soccer shoes with hard red rubber soles. At times, as they kcked up their heels, the red shoes gave brief impressions of officials' flags being dropped.

But most Gophers went back to game shoes with short cleats. Warmath now holds Monday, Thursday and Friday practices on the new turf. "At least we are starting out that way," said War-math. "Tuesdays and Wednesdays we will hold practices where we have been before (Northrop field). We like all that space for some practices." (He daily has his offensive and defensive units work separately).

With Nebraska in mind and a touch of jest, Murray added: "Now, if we can find a surface which will make us run a little faster and the opposition a little slower, that would help, too." Word from Nebraska today is that offensive right guard Donnie McGhee is doubtful for Saturday's game because of a knee injury. Keith Wortman, the starting left guard has been shifted to McGhee's position and Dick Ruppert, 216-pound left guard on the second team, has been promoted. Ken Quinn, Minnesota, offensive guard, has been sidelined in practice this week after suffering what is reported as a mild concussion in the Ohio University game.
