But Michigan's women's softball team can, having posted a 12-6 record in 1978, its first year of existence. And even more than havinga successful season, Coach Gloria Soluk admits, "It was fun." "THERE ARE advantages to coaching a sport the first year it is played," she continued. "It eliminates some problems. "First, you don't have to change any heads around. The players learned my way of thinking and my rules first. There was no need to eliminate years of someone else's coaching tradition. "THE SECOND advantage was that, there was a.lot of enthusiasm on cam- pus for the team. A lot of women already at Michigan had wanted to play fastpitch softball, and the newly formed team gave them the opportunity." From that team, composed entirely of walk-ons, came some pleasant sur- prises. Soluk considers Sheryl Tominac "an All-American catcher," and called pit- cher Teresa Gardocki "one of the finest in the state." Ann Slade was a standout in centerfield. HITTING WAS the problem for the Wolverines last year. Soluk concedes, "There were a few games where the pitching was there but the hitting wasn't." That is mostly what Soluk, who also coaches women's basketball, will be looking for during recruiting. There are three full scholarships available, but tryouts will be held again next year until the team is better established. Should the type of talent that made it last year emerge again, the softball team can look forward to another suc- cessful season.

ANY WOLVERINE grid fan can ouch for the excitement of club rugby matches, played after football games at Wines Field near the football stadium. B"t if you want fans, the club sports prbgram is probably not for you. such teams as the soccer and acrosse clubs, even when they play arsity teams from other Big Ten chiools, don't usually draw any kind of rowd to speak of. A club team has its vWn special advantages, not the least of which might be the usual bar stop after bard game. There are club sports as unorthodox as folk dancing, square dancing, and synchronized swimming and more exltic offerings like Akido, fencing, and karate. For those who want to get into boats, rowing, kayak, and sailing are Harriers set for title chase (Continued from Page 33) little bigger than Billy and he's got the same type of competitive attitude.

"But if I was to pick a team right now hat we'd have to beat to win the Big Ten championship it'd be Wisconsin," remarked Warhurst. While the uncertainty of which of his offered as well as water polo for talen- ted swimmers who favor contact in the water. SOME POPULAR varsity sports such as golf and tennis also have club teams and there is always table tennis for the quick-of-eye and slower-of-foot. And depending on how and with what you like to hit your ball, you can play on a Michigan club team in handball, pad- dleball, racquetball, squash, or volleyball. A large ski club sponsors several trips each winter and the list is rounded out by the three B's of bicycling, bowling, and boxing. CLUB COMPETITION is often on a high level at Michigan, buf many teams welcome beginners they can turn on to an individual sport. And depending on the sport you're interested in, many club teams offer a large dose of the peculiar pleasures and pains of being a committed member of a team; prac- tices are often five days a week with most games on weekends. You'll probably have to arrange your own transportation to away contests, but club sports at Michigan are among the best examples of athletic com- petition for the sheer sweet hell of it. 7 11 1 1 4 17 3 10 11 11 0 3 17 10 5 0 1 1 Central Michigan Chicago State Grand Valley Michigan State Detroit Detroit Central Michigan Central Michigan Bowling Green Bowling Green Jackson CC Jackson CC Alma Hope Hope Western Michigan Albion Spring Arbor 2 2 0 2 2 4 2 6 6 16 1 5 7 7 2 6 0 4 The unhurried feeling of cotton corduroy.
