LEWIS Michigan's men's tennis team remained "Cham- pions of the Midwest" last weekend after a convin- cing win in the Wichita State Tournament of Cham- pions. The triangular event, which kicked off the Wolverines' regular season, was billed "The Battle of Champions." -Michigan, the Big Ten champs, defeated Missouri Valley Conference winner Wichita State, 6-3, Friday night. Oklahoma State proved an easier test the next day, as Michigan scored an 8-1 triumph over the Big Eight titlist Cowboys. COACH BRIAN EISNER was delighted with his team's performance. "All in all, it was a satisfying weekend for us. The win was particularly good because we had never played in Wichita before." Eisner said the key to the Wolverines' successful Wichita trip was their ability to pull through in the close matches, and not to get down when they fell behind by a set. Michigan was "down" Friday night against the Shockers, but rallied to grab control of the niatch. The team lost first sets in all six singles matches to a Wichita State squad which, according to Eisner, "played as well as it's capable of." The upstart Shockers' Mike McMahon stunned Big Ten number one singles champion Jeff Etterbeek, 6- 3, to spring what could have resulted in a rash of up- sets and possible Blue defeat. But as the match progressed, Michigan showed its host who was the superior team. SPEARHEADING THE Wolverines were second singles player Matt Horwitch and the singles trio of Mike Leach, Pete Osler and Jack Neinken. Horwitch offset Etterbeek's loss with an exciting tie-breaker victory over Wichita State's Bill Nichols, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6. Undefeated freshman Leach, playing number four singles, had a rough time with his Wichita State op- ponent, as did Osler and Neinken, at fifth and sixth singles. Both Leach and Neinken were down service break in the third set before charging back, while Osler's match was decided by a tie-breaker. Neinken, a two-time Big Ten champ at number five singles, had trouble returning serves at the National Indoor Team Tournament last month in Madison. Af- ter the tournament, he worked on this facet of his game and the effort paid off. "In Madison, I wasn't making any big points," said Neinken, a junior. "I couldn't take advantage of the opportunities I had. In Wichita I wasn't as ten- tative as before, and I was a little more aggressive. I took charge of the match, whereas in Madison, I didn't." IN DOUBLES competition, the Etterbeek-Horwit- ch duo continued its mastery, posting two-set wins in both matches. Osler and Neinken also netted a pair of doubles victories, while the team of Leach and Jud Shaufler settled for a weekend split. Schaufler, still aggravated by a lower back injury, said that the prolonged ailment affected his mobility. The 6-7 junior, who lost both matches at number three singles over the weekend, wouldn't attribute his losses to the injury, but said that it was a contributing factor. "I did favor the back in Wichita," said Shaufler. "IT haven't been as strong because I was not moving as well as I can. The netters' strong showing in Wichita may not elevate them in the national ratings because neither opponent had earned Top Twenty status. But Michigan has made large strides since the Madison tournament. Women win big By OWEN MEDD The Michigan women's tennis team came back strong Saturday after an opening loss to Tennessee, overwhelming Iowa, Indiana State, and Vanderbilt in the three remaining matches of their weekend series in Nashville. The netters lost four matches to the Volunteers from Tennessee, although each Wolverine went the maximum three sets before bowing out. The winners for the Wolverines in the match were number two singles player Sue Weber, who is currently 9-0 on the season, and Karen Krickstein at number five singles, now 6-0 for the year. The number one doubles team of Kathy Karzen and Barb Fischley also came out on the winning side. AFTER THE LOSS to Tennessee, the Blue netters regrouped and blew out the opposition in their last three matches. The team lost only one individual match after Tennessee, to Iowa, while sweeping both Indiana State and Vanderbilt, 9-0. The Vanderbilt win was particularly gratifying to first-year Coach Theo Shepherd. "The Vanderbilt victory was very important to us," Shepherd com- mented. "They are an especially good team." One of the highlights of the match was Karzen's defeat of Julie Maxzy in their number one singles en- counter. Maxzy is one of the top-rated singles players in the country. "WE WERE sorry to lose to Tennessee-Knoxville, but I think it made us play better the rest of the weekend," Shepherd said. "I am still not sure about how good the team is. I'll have to see how the team does against Northwestern on Friday. That will tell us a lot." The women's next match is 3 p.m. Friday at the Huron Valley Tennis Club.

Fidrych was scheduled to pitch two or three innings of the Detroit Tigers' exhibition baseball game against Philadelphia. A team spokesman said F'idrych hurt his backrunning Sunday, and that his status is uncertain. The right-hander, nagged by injuries and arm trouble since the 1976 season when he won 19 games and was named American League rookie of the year, has pitched just one inning this spring. In addition to Monday's game, Fidrych was expected to pitch twice more in the Tigers' eight remaining spring contests. Iogahoam out Detroit-Center Bill Hogaboam will be lost to the Detroit Red Wings for the remainder of the National League season because of a fractured left arm, the club announced Monday. Hogaboam suffered the fracture in Detroit's 2-1 victory Sunday over Toronto. Hogaboam was traded by Detroit to Minnesota in 1976 and re-acquired by the Red Wings last Feb. 9. Umps rapped NEW YORK AP-Umpires are trying to circumvent a valid contract, which has been sustained in the federal cour- ts, the American and National leagues charged yesterday in a joint statement. Meanwhile, testimony continued in a federal court in Philadelphia in the dispute between the major leagues and 51 umpires who refused to work until they get more money. "Baseball has a valid contract with the Umpires Association, which has been sustained in the federal courts and runs through 1981"'the leagues contend. "The present dissatisfaction of umpires with their contracts seems to be based in part on salaries now being paid the players. While the umpires perform an important function in our game, they are not the attraction. The players, are the game. But while umpire salaries cannot be compared to player salaries, umpires as a group are better compen- sated than any other non-playing group in baseball."
