Sure, everyone has possessions, but the next time that you're worrying about how your clothes color-coordinate, thi'nk about the people around the world and in the U.S. who don't have a lot. Maybe your skills could help them out. Consider spending a small part of your life as a Peace Corps or VISTA volunteer. CONTACT RECRUITERS: SIX PLAYERS RETURNING: Blue net coach By SCOTT M. LEWIS 414it1h w thRic B Tan b.....r t .tn Okay, Michigan sports fans, it's time to play, "Name That Coach!" Here's your first clue: This varsity coach has racked up an .825 winning percentage during his tenure at Michigan. Not sure, you say? This hint may help-this coach has seen his teams capture nine consecutive Big Ten titles, but never has won the national cham- pionship. For all of you who answered "Bo Schembechler," we have consolation prizes awaiting you backstage. The correct answer is-Brian Eisner. Eisner, coach of the men's tennis team since 1970, has maintained Michigan's tradition of dominating the Big Ten courts. The Wolverine dynasty has produced 11 straight conference crowns, and 20 of the last 24. Eisner and his players feel that the 1979 season, which begins next weekend in Wichita, Kan., will be just as successful. They have good reason to be op- timistic. Six of Michigan's top eight players are returning from last season, including senior Jeff Etterbeek, the Big Ten number one singles champion and a member of the Big Ten championship first doubles team. Etterbeek's doubles partner, Matt Horwitch, who was sidelined for part of last season with a broken foot, gives Michigan a strong one-two singles lineup. Last spring as a freshman, Horwi won ine tg - 1-en num erL wo singles championship and has im- proved his game since then. One newcomeris expected to pay big dividends. Michael Leach, a freshman from Weston, Mass., played on the National Junior Davis Cup team and was ranked 11th nationally in the junior division. Eisner has slated him in at lisplays ber six singles titlist last year despit nursing a painful lower back injury Peter Osler, a transfer student fror Indiana last year who immediately wo the number four singles spot; and Jac Neinken, two-time number five single champ whose game is now more powei ful than in previous seasons. Adding depth to the squad are a pai of juniors, Gary Grant and Steve Solys and four sophomores: Ihor DeBryr Andrew Halpern, Sheldon Katz, an Dan Saperstein. Michigan was ranked 17th nationall in the pre-season polls, which is an in provement over last year, when didn't even make the top 20. Eisnc feels, however, that the team ca challenge for the national crown if continues to develop. "I think the NCAA championshipi wide open and there are seven or eigi teams with a chance to win it all. I fe we are one of those teams." Eisner is heartened by the team performance in several winter tout naments. Even though the netter placed ninth (out of 12) in the Nation. Indoor Team Championship: held la; month in Madison, they knocked o defending Big Eight champic Oklahoma State and 14th ranked Soul Carolina. Based on that showing alon Michigan should move up a notch c two when the next polls come out in op timisna e few days. Outstanding individual performances n have highlighted the winter activity. n Etterbeek, the Holland, Mich. native k who plans to compete in international ,s circuits when he leaves Michigan, top- pled highly-regarded Steve Denton of Texas before losing in the quarterfinals ir of the National Indoor Singles Cham- pionship in Jaruary. Etterbeek paired with Horwitch last d December in Wichita to finish second in the 32-team National Indoor Doubles y Tournament. Eisner said the Etter- n- beek-Horwitch duo is one of the top four it in the country, noting that the team has r matured a great deal over the past six n months. it Last year Michigan was denied a ber- th in the NCAA Tournament because it s lost to Wisconsin during the regular season. (Both teams finished with an 8- e 1 mark.) The Wolverines later avenged the defeat, thrashing the Badgers in the 's Big Ten Tournament. Unfortunately, it r- was too late to warrant an NCAA in- s vitation. Etterbeek believes Michigan al will return to the NCAA's this spring. st "I'm confident about the Big Ten," he ff said. "In the Big Ten, we can have a n bad day and still win. h "But now, for the first year, we can e, compete with everyone at the national Dr level. On any given day, I can beat a anyone. We can beat anyone."

"We knew he was one of the finest players when we recruited him," said Eisner. "We expected a lot from him, and we've got it."

After a ninth place finish in the event last year, marking the first time that the women tankers broke into the top ten, the year long aim of the team has been toward this Nationals meet. It is their hope to move up to seventh position, although even head coach Stu Isaac admits that recapturing the team's ninth position will be an under- taking. THERE IS hope though, as Michigan lost by only three points in their dual meet with North Carolina, who is one of the favored contenders for the number one spot. Michigan is sending both 200 yard and 400 yard medley relay squads, along with 200 and 400 yard freestyle relay teams. In the 200 yard medley relay, Bar- bara DonCarlos, Marie Palko, Linda Kendall, and Linda Lease qualified for the Wolverines with a time of 1:50.75. The 400 yard medley squad of Don- Carlos, Palko, Kendall, and Monika Scheff also qualified, their time was a 3:58.00. KIM OLSON, Katy McCully, Mary MORE THAN A BOOKSTORE Rish, and Sue Collins qualified in the 200 yard freestyle relay, a time of 1:37.39 getting them to the Nationals. A time of 3:32.39 qualified the other freestyle relay (400 yard), which con- sisted of McCully, Rish, Olson, and Marion Stanwood. The Wolverines are well-represented in the butterfly events, placing swim- mers in the 50, 100, and 200 yard swins. Sue Collins qualified in the 50, having swain a 26.56, Monika Scheff is in the 100, with a 58.29 qualifying time, and Linda Kendall will swim in the 200, qualifying with a 2:27.65. Kendall was a scorer last year in the Nationals at both the 50 and 200 yard butterfly lengths. Michigan's women have also covered the freestyle events like a blanket. Katy McCully, a consistent scorer at the Nationals, qualified in the 50, 100, and 200 yard freestyle swims, with times of 24.53, 53.21, and 1:54.41, respectively. Junior Lori Hughes will be in the 1650 yard freestyle, with a qualifying time of 17:20.22. Others returning to the Nationals from the Michigan team are Jody Ford and Julie Bachman. Ford was a Nationals finalist last year in the in- dividual medley and has qualified this year in the 400 yard event with a time of 4:35.21. Sophomore Bachman is retur- ning National Diving Champion at both the one meter and three meter heights. All considered, the Wolverines are represented well at the Nationals, and, while the depth may be lacking, the quality will hopefully make up for it.
