FOLLOWING OWEN P011 W1i~flI~NJ in the Michitian s r 10 Although making a close game out of what should have been a runaway, Michigan's Varsity Reserve basketball team turned back a stubborn squad from Eastern Michigan, 86-67. The Wolverines ran out to a quick 18-10 lead in the first 8:59 of the game, but then tightened up for the rest of the second half and walked into the lockerroom at intermission hanging on to a slim 38- 31 lead. THINGS DIDN'T IMPROVE much after the break as EMU ran off six points to Michigan's two to make a ball game, 40-37. A Blue time out seemed to tranquilize its jitters and the Wolverines began to look for better shots and control the tempo, shutting down the effectiveness of the Hurons zone defense. The game never got any closer than five points as the Wolverines received strong help off the bench from forwards Mike Damken and Chris Fielder. "Fielder and Damken did an excellent job for us off the bench tonight," said head coach Dan Fife. Indeed, Fielder and Damken added nine and ten points, respectively, through the nets in the second THE TALLER HURONS took advantage of Michigan's lack of height to crash the boards for many offensive rebounds, most of thom belonging to EMU's center Mike Appelbet. The 6-7 junior led all cagers with 13 boards. Wolverine guard Ray Owens found his shooting touch in the second half to lead Michigan with 24 points, 16 of them coming in the second half. "I was a little wary coming into this game after having beat them at home earlier," Fife said, referring to Michigan's January 19 win over the same EMU squad, 79-ยข3. "We beat them in our gym and its always tough to win when you go to theirs." "We were patient in the second half against their. zone and were able to look for the good shot," Fife added. His team got a little too patient near the end 'of the game as the JV's displayed their own version of Dean Smith's delay game with over six minutes to play and maintaining a 67-55 lead. "We weren't in a delay, but my players thought we were," Fife quipped. "I told them to be patient and look for the good shot, but they were too patient." -' V~. .. -. - .* u* * 11** 11C ,Vcl.l~1gd l c n1g were Fielder with 17 and John Wangler and Buddy Van De Wage, each with 12. EMU's Paul Ash led all scores with 25 points. Even though Owens led the Blue scoring, he still has one unfulfilled goal - to ram one through the rim. "I would have had one tonight if I hadn't slipped, man," Owens said. He'll get another chance Thursday night before the varsity contest when the JV's host St. Clair Shores Community College at 5:45 in Crisler Arena.

C4G0: CTJ{{G SPORTS OF THE DAILY Women tat By KEN CHOTINER Michigan's women tankers returned triumphantly this weekend from the East with victories against Rutgers, Princeton and Penn State. On Friday the Wolverines topped the highly- regarded Scarlet Knights, 75-56. In tri- meet action the next night, Michigan swamped Princeton, 104-27, and Penn State, 114-17. "So far, we've been better than the teams we've swam against;" stated coach Stu Isaac. "When we compete in the nationals, there will be a lot of good swimmers from excellent teams. Also a lot of our swimmers are improving. They're now beating swimmers who previously have beaten them." Last year, Katy McCully lost to Rutgers' All-American Maureen Mor- tell in the 200-yard freestyle. But this year, the roles were reversed as Mc- Cully touched out Mortell in what proved to be an exciting race. "Rutgers was a close meet. All the rages were well swam and it could have gone either way," commented Isaac. Highlighting the Rutgers meet was Michigan's Lisa Matheson's victory over Ellen Wallace in the 1000-yard freestyle. Matheson had a substantial lead after the first 500 yards, but was passed with only 150 yards to go. The Wolverine swimmer gained her lead at the last second and won by a touch out. ikers top ti Attending the Friday night meet were over a thousand cheering Rutgers' fans. "It was a great crpwd-very en- thusiastic. But the Michigan supporters were just as enthusiastic," said Isaac. Saturday morning brought about a tri-meet with Princeton, Penn State and Michigan in Princeton's pool. Although the Wolverines were tired from the previous evening's meet, their time continued to improve. Michigan's Monica Scheff and Sue Colins greatly improved their times in the 100 butterfly with times of 58.77 and 59.22 respectively. Key Michigan swimmers included Sharon Flaherty, who, was timed at 1:00.35 and 2:08.48 in the 100 and 200 backstrokes. McCully made the AAU cutoff time in the 200 individual medley while Jody Ford and Flaherty swam consistently well. At this meet, eleven cutoff times were made for the nationals. In diving, Chris Seufert, Julie Bach- man and Liz Higgins placed first, second and third consistently. "They are improving very nicely and I feel they are some of the best divers in the country," claimed Isaac. This weekend's victories will probably boost Michigan's ratings up into the top ten. Prior to last weekend the Blue tankers were rated eleventh in hree teams the nation while Rutgers held down the 12th position. Rogers in? DETROIT - Michigan State football coach Darryl Rogers is the top candi- date for the as-yet-unvacated head coaching job of the St. Louis Cardinals of the National Football League, a De- troit sportscaster said yesterday.
