Nehlen says he cringes at the thought of fans wearing buttons bearing obscenities being caught on camera when WVU plays No. 20 Pittsburgh Saturday. The game will be televised regionally by CBS-TV. The WVU coach said such displays by fans do little to en hance West Virginia’s image. “I hope West Virginians gen erally have more class than ,M S C.

The West Virginia- Pittsburgh series is one of the nation’s longest running and most bitter. In past meetings, some WVU fans nave shown up with “Beat Hell Out of Pitt” but tons on them. Other messages weren’t that mild. “I don’t like to see buttons with swear words on them,” Nehlen said. “I want a whole some rivalry. “My first year or two, we’d have buttons out that I didn’t like the names on them. I don’t think that has a place in college football.” Nehlen recalled that former Pittsburgh coach Jackie Sherrill, now at Texas A&M, approached him before practice two years ago, “and I saw that (obscene) button, and I got sick. And all his players had them on. We don’t need that.” s SCHULMAN THEATRES Mon-Fmly Nile Sch 6 Tue-Fmly Nile ME 111 SCHULMAN 6 775-2463 775-2468 20C2 E. 29th 7:15 9:45 MR.

Grundman had only to look at the brightest prospects in his system to see trouble ahead. However, the young Amer icans who turned up at the Mon treal training camp this season appear to favor hockey over accounting and promise to re serve their trouble for opposing teams. Kent Carlson, a 6-3, 200- pound defenseman from Con cord, N.H., is likely to be the only new face in the Montreal lineup for the first part of the season, but he may be joined on the blueline in March by 6-1, 190-pound Chris Chelios of the University of Wisconsin. With Eagle River, Wis., native Craig Ludwig coming off an im pressive rookie year, half the Montreal defense could be made up of U.S. citizens by the end of the year. If Alfie Turcotte of Detroit, the Habs’ No. 1 draft pick, beats out Canadian John Chabot for a job at center, the Canadiens could have their largest U.S. contingent ever for the 1983- 1984 season. Carlson, 21, the most im pressive rookie in camp this year, and Chelios, 21, who will play for the U.S. team in the Winter Olympics in Yugoslavia in February, are not likely to be the difference in turning the Canadiens’ fortunes around af ter four consecutive early depar tures from the playoffs. The difference may come from rookie general manager Serge Savard, a 16-year NHL veteran who took over after the 1983 playoffs when rookie club presiaent Ronald Corey canned Grundman. Players have already praised the new spirit on the club Savard has instilled, with the help of new assistant coaches Jacques Lemaire and Jacques Plante backing up head coach Bob Berry. Although the Habs finished second in the Adams Division behind Boston last year and fifth overall in the NHL with a 42-24- 14 record, success in Montreal is measured by the 22 Stanley Cups the team has won over the years. To that end, veterans Larry Robinson on defense, Bob Gainey and Steve Shutt on left wing and Guy Lafleur on right wing will again be called on to lead, but strong support wil# needed from a clutch of dt veloping young players fonli Canadiens to improve on tfc 1983-1984 record.
