fPage 8-Sunday, March 19, 1978-The Michigan Daily WOMEN STILL STRONG: Netters o en without star °.# By BOB WARREN Take away O.J. Simpson from the Biffalo Bills or Kareem Abdul-Jabaar from the Los Angeles Lakers and the result is a very weak, faceless team. Take away Barb Selden, one of the top women tennis players in the Midwest " froni the Michigan women's tennis team and you still have a very strong Steain. Sekden, with a heavy schedule in the School of Dental Hygiene, has only been able to make a couple weeks of practice this year. The rest of the team has been practicing since early last fall. The 1dile na was whether Selden should be allowed to play with a team that she - hadn't practiced with all year. if Barb came on the team and beat the girls who have been practicing sin- -eearly last fall, we'd think 'why prac- k ? e''" commented the present num- Sberone player Sue Weber. "We had to weigh, whether Barb's presence would he.lp.us or hurl us and the team vote showed we thought it would make us 1978 Women's -r 2 Wisconsin Quad S(Wisconsin, Michigf 1,pr.5 EASTERN MICHII A pr. 1i WESTERN MICHII pr. 1-16 Buckeye Open -,pr 2i-2) Big Ten Champion, ' iayv 2 Central Michigan May 5-6 PrMceton, Ohio St tay 11-13 SMAIAW Champic av 1-2 MAAW Champion ' Iupe 5-13 AAIAW Champion, feel bad." "I wasn't surprised by their vote at all," Selden said. "If I was in their 'position, especially the freshmen's, I would have felt and voted the same. but the girls we have here are very good. We're deep all the way through." One player having a great practice season is Ann Arbor-Huron High graduate" Leticia Diaz-Perez. Diaz- 'Bhrb's los isn't going to hurt us that much.

"Barb's loss isn't going to hurt us that much," explained coach John Atwood.

Pleasant e College Station, PA ships Ann Arbor hips To Be Announced ips Salisbury, MI) Perez was a walkon in the fall and has now won challenge matches that have moved her from the last spot on the team to the number three spot, where she expects to continue challenging. "Leticia is playing very well," At- wood said. "She's a great runner and a very effective volleyer. She's so fast and so athletic that she can outrun most of heir opponents. Leticia and our great recruits this year will make up for Barb's absence and make us a top con- tender in the area if we play well." With Selden's departure the team has only one performer past her sophomore year, captain Missy Pollick. "We must be an improving team, because each year I've been here I've been moved down on the team," commented Pollick. "I wanted Barb on the team, but I un- derstand the team's feelings and as a team player I have to go along with the decision. Anyway, this is the best team I've been on since I've been at Michigan." Weber, Diaz-Perez, Kathy Krickstein, Wit Stodghill and Lisa Wood are five freshwomen that Atwood ex- pects a lot from in the next four years, and with star Kathy Karzen and other returning sophomores Ann Kercher and Elaine Crosby, the team has a strong nucleus. "We haven't played much during the practice season, so we are not tour- nament-tough," said Atwood. "As soon as these younger players like Sue start playing, they'll pull out some close matches." The strength of this team makes Selden's absence a bit easier to take, although her presence would have made Michigan the favorite among Big Ten teamns if all the women played at the top of their ability. "I wanted to play this year, and the sad thing is my schedule is thinning out now," Selden said. "I was studying so much I only was getting three or four hours of sleep, so I probably wouldn't have helped the team that much. They'll do it without me; they'll have to. Even with the loss of Barb Selden the Michigan women's tennis team has its character. The energy of Leticia Diaz- Perez and the ability of Sue Weber and the rest of the squad will make this year's team more than a faceless group of women with tennis rackets. Spinks stripped of title; Norton champ By The Associated Press MEXICO CITY - The World Boxing Council withdrew heavyweight championship recognition from Leon Spinks and gave it to Ken Norton yesterday on the grounds that Spinks was avoiding the top-ranked Norton and that he was dealing in bad faith with the WBC. The action means the world now has two heavyweight champions, since Spinks, who upset Muhammad Ali for the universal title February 15, still is recognized as champion by the rival World Boxing Association, which is smaller than the WBC. 'The decision is one of the most difficult we have had to take," WBC President Jose Sulaiman said at a news conference at his home here. "It always leaves a bitter taste in our mouth to dethrone a champion. "But boxing as a sport should be governed by laws and regulations over and above business interests." Norton told The Associated Press by telephone from Los Angeles: "Being that I'm a fighter and being that I'm very competitive, I would have liked to win the title in the ring. But being that the champion chose not to fight me and being that he signed a legal document to fight me and violated it, I'll"take it this way and get him later. "I'm very grateful. It shows that the WBC does keep its word. It shows that boxing does have a governing body," said Norton. Spinks is only the second heavyweight champion to lose title recognition outside the ring. In 1967, Ali was stripped by all boxing governing bodies for refusing to accept the military draft. ., . H ome matches at :1 p.m. at Ferry Field Courts ,ra r i BASEBALL ROUNDUP Bird wins third !
