Sports of The, Daly Indiana boots Soccer Club The Indiana Hoosiers may not be overly adept at football of the oblong variety but the Michigan Soccer Club found out that they are best at football of the round ball variety, soccer, as the Hoosiers bounced the Wolverines last Saturday 10-1 at Bloomington. Playing on Astroturf for the first time, the Michigan 'booters found the bal moving much faster than on grass, so fast in fact that Indiana blew out to a 4-0 lead after only five minutes in the first half. "Indiana controlled the game from the outset," said team member Mike Ross, "they were much quicker than us and had great ball control." New soccer Coach Jim Schnare, a law student from Penn- sylvania with four years of playing experience, was disap- pointed with the loss. "What the score reflects rather than the superior play of the Indiana club is the difference in programs between Michigan and Indiana, I kind of took over the coaching job and was stunned by how soccer is lost in the professional attitude of the sports department here," fumed Schnare, "it's a darn shame that at a school the size of Michigan we can't get more than $300 for our program." For the record next Wednesday the Soccer Club travels to Toledo to battle the University of Toledo Rockets. * * State stumps gal netters The undefeated women's intercollegiate tennis squad marred their record yesterday by falling to the reigning Big Ten champions from East Lansing in a close contest. In the six singles matches, the Spartans came through with four wins while in the doubles the Staters took two out of three from the Wolverines. In first singles, Sue Selke (MSU) eeked by Diane Czarnecki (M) 6-1, 4-6, 7-5. Missy Pollick dropped two sets 6-4, 6-4 to State's Diane Suterko in second singles. The lone winners for Michigan, Jan Karzen and Lori Jameson, out maneuvered their opponents in two sets apiece. The next match is Thursday against Eastern, 3 p.m., Varsity Courts. * * 4 Bing returns to Pistons Star Detroit Pistons' guard Dave Bing rejoined the club yesterday at the persuasion of his teammates, ending but not solving a three-week contract dispute. "It was through them that I'm back now. They've all asked me to come back," Bing said of his teammates. "We feel that with or without me we're a good team but with me we're a better team." Bing's decision to return followed a meeting with club offi- cials. He also had a meeting with the Pistons on Tuesday. "I respect my teammates as individuals and I respect being part of this team," Bing said, "and that's why I'm back and I'm hoping to bring a championship to the city of Detroit." *~ * * Cowens suffers injury Injured All-Star center Dave Cowens will be out of action for about seven weeks, the Boston Celtics have learned just 1( days before opening the defense of their National Basketbal Association championship. Cowens is lost probably until the end of November, with a broken bone in his right foot. Cowens sustained the fracture in an exhibition game against the Milwaukee Bucks in New York Tuesday night. His loss leaves the Celtics with three pivot-men: the eight year vetern 7 foot Henry Finkel, Jim Ard, and Byron Jones. NCAA hockey in hot water The Minneapolis Star reported yesterday the NCAA is con sidering dropping hockey as an intercollegiate sport. The NCAA's action is based upon its concern that pay- ments made by the National Hockey League through the Amateur Hockey Association to help develop U.S. hockey programs might be turning amateur hockey professional, the Star said.

Questioned after the race, the1 junior guard from Bad Axe re- sponded, "I was just trying to do my best, and improve over my time of last year. This race isn't for competition; it's, for self-improvement." "We've been running steps and sprints since school started. The way I figure it, if you don't push yourself now, you won't be able to make it when the season starts. This is not to say that I've pushed myself as hard as I could, but I'm in pretty good shape. "EVERYBODY ran pretty good times today. A lot of the big guys are carrying a lot of weight around the track, so you can't expect their times to be as good." The winner of the first heat was freshman forward Burrell McGhee, who put on a fast closing spurt to ice the race. His time of 5.25 will be remem- bered by the coaches when the time comes to decide the start- ing forwards. ii SREGENCY TRAVEL.
