J. The Michigan Daily-Thursday, November 9, 1978-Page9 .,r 4 , scoreboard This week's results Arise, ye snow lovers! 'M'ski clui By ALAN FANGER The recent spell of Indian Summer weather didn't sit too well with the folks in the Michigan ski racing club. November, after all, is a time for breaking the boots and bindings out of the clqset and waxing those skis for the upcoming season. But alas, old Sol is finally taking his five-month sabbaticaf, and no news could be more pleasing to the several eager students who take to the slopes every weekend for competition in slalom and giant slalom events. THESE WEEKEND excursions to Crystal 'Mountain resort have become a 'ritual for the club. There they compete with Michigan State, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Notre Dame, and other regional schools for berths in the National Collegiate Ski Association (NCSA) championships. . Fortunately, most of the club's travel costs are offset by a healthy grant from the Recreational Sports department. The club does generate one-third of its own revenue, most of it coming from a "ski swap" in December. The club's budget permits fourteen people to race during the season, and tryouts in December are designed to fill those spots. "Our first race of the year determines the starting lineup," said co-captain Chris Wolf. "This year will be interesting since we lost a lot of people to graduation." gears up WHILE THE RACERS boast of consistently good performances against their regional rivals, two elements are noticeably absent: a coach, and intercollegiate status: The club doesn't feel the need for a coach; thus, leadership comes from the men's and women's co-captains. "We're very self-sufficient," said Wolf. "It works out very well with co-captains, and a treasurer to organize our finances." The absence of intercollegiate status is bothersome to the club, however. "We keep asking for varsity status," said Wolf, "But the University has a moratorium on changing club sports to varsity sports." Wolf added that the moratorium may continue for another two or three years, putting varsity status far down the road. The weekend "meets" operate similar to the Olympic format. Each team enters five men and five women, all of whom race against the clock. The series culminates in an annual dual slalom at Crystal Mountain, where contestants race against each other in an elimination format. Last February, the women captured first place and the men second in the regional meet. "Then we asked the University to give us varsity status for just the day of nationals, but they wouldn't do that," explained Wolf.

They are inescapable at any level of competition. Bruises, sprained ankles, rearranged noses and jammed fingers will dutifully crop up during athletic contests whether it be the NFC Champion- ship or a pickup game at the schoolyard. Michigan's Intramural Department is hardly immune from injury. As of November 1 twenty- eight IM participants were befelled by injuries ranging from everyday scrapes and strains to concussions and fractures. Last year at this time 25 IM-related injuries were reported. Dick Pitcher, Director of Intramurals, expressed concern over the injury total but conceded that the IM department can only try to alleviate the problem, not eliminate it. "The nature of the sports dictates that injuries will occur," said Pitcher, who joined the IM staff in 1970. "When there's physical contact, some injuries are just unavoidable." "Officials' control of the game also has much to do with the number of injuries, although this is not as much of a factor as the sport itself. Our officials' training program However, in cases of serious injury when an ambulance is needed, emergency telephones are located at Fuller, Elbel and Ferry Fields. A field supervisor can advise an injury victim to seek' hospital attention, but he cannot force a person to ride in an ambulance. As expected, most IM injuries occur in football, though hockey, basketball, softball and even tennis have caused some accidents. Twisted knees, cuts and bruises are the most common afflictions, but a severely dislocated knee has already been reported this year. The game is supposed to be touch, but action can become quite physical at the line of scrimmage. "When we review the situation at the end of the season we will look at the seriousness of injuries, not just the amount," said Pitcher. "If the department believes that injuries can be reduced by making rule changes, we will make these changes." Other schools, including Michigan State, have adopted a 'no- blocking' system. In this virtually contact-free game, the quarterback is unmolested and a team can throw an unlimited number of forward passes per down. The end result is a cross between rugby and speedball, not the kind of game which Pitcher sees for Michigan, "I'd hate to go to this system As it stands now, we'll change only if the number of serious injuries increases significantly. We'll have to wait until the season ends before doing anything." Pitcher dispelled the belief that injures most frequently occur during poor playing conditions. A muddy or soggy field hinders players from accelerating, 'a factor which Pitcher says reduces chances for injury. Women's and Co-Recreational football are less injury-filled than the men's version, but such wasn't always the case. The department, noting the prevalence of injury among women in IM football, experimented with a screen- blocking system this season.
