.THE MICKGAN DAILY Rage Seveh TH_ I _A ~lYPgeSvt BLUE STRUGGLES FOR PLAYOFFS I --wJw rts of The Daily IM otpourri, . ..everymart's sport BY LESLIE RIESTER This column is dedicated to the anonymous hundreds who participate in IM competition. IM participation is at an all time high, and it's about time to make a few of those hundreds a little less anonymous. This Saturday, starting at 9 a.m., teams representing the Residence Halls, Sorority, and Independent Divisions of the 'M' Gals will battle for the All-Campus Team Badminton Championship.. Division rivalries are fierce, and Assistant Director Ann Carney promises action will be fast and furious. The Independent and Sorority teams competing are fighting for the lead in their respective Divisions. The closest competition by far is Chi Omega and Delta Gamma, first and second. Squash entries for the women's division are due by January 28th. In the All-Campus Division, entries for racquetball and handball doubles are due today, January 25.. Challengers will be chasing defending champion Rod Gram- beau and Dick Lampman for the racquetball title. Steve Smith and Larry August won the handball doubles last year. Rumsey leads dorms Although team championships won't be decided for a few weeks yet, action is still hard and heavy as defending champions fight to regain their titles. In the Residence Hall Division, Allen Rumsey leads Scott by a slim margin with Van Duren and Couzens close behind. The Law squads dominate the Graduate Division as Law Gold and Blue and Green hold down the first three spots. Delta Sigma Delta "A" is presently fourth among the graduates, but if past years are any indication, DSD will take Law Gold to he wire. Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon are presently one, two, and three in the Fraternity Division, and their competition rivals that between the Chi Omega and Delta Gamma sororities. If you're playing IM basketball, or one of the racquet sports, and still want something else to do, there are 18 men's sports clubs on campus, and all welcome new members. Sports clubs thrive Assistant director Dick Pitcher says the IM department will be working more closely with the sports clubs, possibly even, funding the clubs in the future. For the present, however, Pitcher has general information concerning sports clubs, and the IM office has a list of club. managers' names and phone numbers. How would you like to belong to a club named The Humbly Magnificent Champions of the Universe? All you have to do is warm up your frisbee throwing arm, and get in touch with the manager. A frisbee club? That's right, folks. Michigan is the home of the third best frisbee-throwing team in the country. With a moniker like that, they have to be good. Ah yes, but you still want to know what sports clubs are available this term. For men: boxing, handball, Pershing Rifles, volleyball, weightlifting, badminton, archery, frisbee, Aikido (Japanese marshal arts), Shoto Kan karate, and table tennis. Most of the women's sports clubs turned Intercollegiate this year, but winter volleyball and track and field will con- tinue to operate as sports clubs. The Bike Club heads the list of co-rec sports clubs. Skiing, paddleball and racquetball, folk dance and fencing are also meeting this term. As the term progresses, so will IM competition, and future columns will be devoted to revealing teams and people of cham- pionship caliber, and maybe a few who almost were. Dekers By ANDY GLAZER History repeats itself. It happens all the time. But when the Mich- igan Wolverines take the ..ice against Minnesota this weekend,: they'll be hoping it doesn't happen one more time.

Things went rrom bad to worse in the second half as Michigan's 5'7' center, Sheryl Szady, fouled out midway through the third quarter. Her replacement, 5'6" Gray Gilfillan, couldn't handle the taller State forwardsand soon followed Szady to the bench with five fouls. With a front line averaging 5'10", MSU was getting three and four shots every time they came down the floor. Sims hit 12 of her 20 points in the second half, but it wasn't enough, as the 5'10" Stoick continued her streak, leading MSU to its first victory. Coach Victor Katch had his Wolverine squad playing a scrap- py man-to-man defense, but lack of height soon got the Michigan forwards into trouble. In an attempt to slow down the hot-shooting Spartans, Michigan threw on a full court zone press in the second quarter. Once again Spartan height paid off in break- ing the futile Michigan press. Sims led the Wolverines in scoring, w h i 1 e the Spartans' Stoick had the game high of 23 points.

Vinson, who holds this year's world's best 500 meter indoor run, may not be able to run because of other obligations. Michigan will be stacking up the relays.

Farmer a I s o has hopes for the two-mile relay of Andy Johnson, Steve Thiry, Myer, and Mills. The mile-relay will be somewhat dampened by Kim Rowe's absence, as he's off en a tour for the Jamaican team. The Wolverines will send Jiro Howe, McCloud, Iris Carta, and Williams in that event. Besides Michigan, Michigan State will be the only other Big Ten team. Six of the eight Mid- American conference teams will be there with a host of Canad- ian talent coming west.
