By BILLY NEFF Michigan rarely fields losing teams, and the club sports program is no ex- ception. For instance, the men's water polo club has splashed its way to an un- defeated slate and is favored to capture the Midwestern Water Polo Champion- ships this weekend in Lansing. The lacrosse club handily defeated Michigan State 14-10 last Sunday in its big game. In addition, the rugby club owns an excellent 6-1 record to round out this week's featured club sports. WATER POLO "We've hardly won games before and this year we're winning games," said Captain Andrew Katzenstein. The tankers have done just that as they've piled up two wins over Michigan State, 9-8 and 14-6, and Western Michigan, 16-14. They carry this unblemished record into Lansing this weekend. "We're really looking forward to it; we are favored to win (the tour- nament)," Katzenstein said. The other participants are Michigan State, Western Michigan, Lansing Com- munity College, Wayne State, Bowling Green and Ann Arbor Huron, the Michigan high school state champion, who Katzenstein feels is "the only team that can beat us." Leading the way for the Blue tankers are top goal scorers Jeff Barnett and player-coach Paul Fairman. The tankers have received fine goaltending from Randy Deacon en route to their 3-0 mark. THE WOMEN'S water polo team, on the other hand, has not splashed at all this year, but has just about drowned instead. "They have the time, the equipment and nobody showed up," commented Katzenstein. There is one woman, Martha Reading, who works See today's IM sports news on Page 9 out with the men and serves as their manager. LACROSSE With an impressive 14-10 triumph over Michigan State, the lacrosse club, coached by Bob DiGiovanni, has com- pleted its brief fall schedule. They finished at 1-1 as they had earlier drop- ped an 8-7 decision to the Chicago Lacrosse Club. The stickmen play most of their games in the spring. In the MSU encounter, junior Bobby Fleischman paced the Wolverines with two goals and six assists. Tom Simon chipped in a hat trick and two assists, Fred Hartman tallied a hat trick and captain Daryl Balchan added two more goals to the Blue output. In the game with Chicago, Ed Anderson netted three goals. ( Captain Blachan was pleased with the year's outcome, "We had a good turnout. We had a lot of new players people who had never seen the gani before. Every year we get two or thre and this year we got 25 new players." RUGBY Although they were nipped, in their last contest, 7-4 by the Chicago Lion (one of the top teams in the nation) th ruggers have slugged their way to surprising 6-1 season. The tough part o their schedule still remains as they fac Cincinnati and Ohio State in the nex two weekends. Pete Schreiner notche a try for four points against Chicago. "We didn't think we'd do as well a. we have since we have a somewha smaller team than last year. We los quite a few very experienced players,' said rugby club president Jack Good man.
