FACE THREE BIG TEN TEAMS: At last! Netters take to the court By DAVE RENBARGER Way back in September of last year, the youthful Michigan women's tennis team first took to the court, preparing for the upcoming season. Since that day coach John Atwood's netters have logged more courttime than F. Lee Bailey and Charles Finley put together, supplying their own com- petition for each other. TOMORROW, FINALLY, the squad is slated to face somebody else-or three other teams, to be exact-in the first meet of the season. The Wolver- ines will be in Madison, competing in the Wisconsin Quadrangular against Northwestern,' Michigan State and the hosting Badgers. And, according to their top player, it's about time. "I'll sure be glad to get off this sur- face for a change," said first singles player Kathy Karzen of the Track/Ten- nis Building's tartan. "We haven't played enough matches to test our strength and get what we call tour- nament-sharp." THE REST of the team shares Kar- zen's opinion. "I'll be glad to play some different people," said Sue Weber, the creme of a superb recruiting crop. "It's easy to get into a rut playing amongst ourselves all the time. You know each other's game so well, plus they're all your friends." Karzen, the first singles player most of last year, had quite a duel with Weber to retain that distinction this time around. In fact the spot was still up for grabs until yesterday, when Kar- zen topped the newcomer from Reston, Va., 6-3, 7-6 in a challenge match. Weber moves to second singles for the two-day Quad. "FIRST SINGLES has got a lot of prestige to it," commented Karzen. "But this is a good solid team, and with our depth, anyone from one through six could play it on any given day." Playing behind Karzen and Weber this weekend are Kathy Krickstein, Leticia Diaz-Perez, Ann Kercher, Lisa Wood and Elaine Crosby. Karzen and Kercher will team up in the first doubles slot, followed by Weber/Diaz- Perez and Krickstein/Wood. Of the seven players, four are fresh- d S1 RING FOOTBALL IN FULL SWING Gridders grind while Bo strolls By KEVIN ROSEBOROUGH Spring football practice, says Coach Bo Schembechler, is the time when his staff has the most opportunity to con- centrate on the development of in- dividual player skills. This means that a great deal of time is spent with individual drills, broken down by position. At Michigan Stadium, where the team has been working out to avoid the disruptive - spring winds, Schembechler and his assistants have been systematically running the squad through the fundamentals. A STROLL AROUND the stadium along row one puts the observer just a few feet away from the specialty stations scattered about the field. "In your hands, in your hands," shouts the defensive back coach at his charges. They are running through pass catching drills and are taught, through endless repetition, not to catch )the ball against their bodies. Later, the backs go through one on one tackling drills, perfecting their positioning on their tackles. "Face in the chest, head inside and up," the coach exhorts. IN THE NORTH end zone, the outside linebackers are practicing dropping off into zones in passing situations. "Look," said a coach, "behind you there is the safety and the strong half- back. This area (in front of you) is the most open, you got it?" Along the west sideline the defensive' linemen are working on positioning and rushing. "The outfielder knows what he wants to do with the ball on a single with men on second and third. It's got to be concentration, explains a coach. "Goddammit," he screams a moment later when one of his linemen false star- ts across the line. THE SOUTH END zone is the domain of the offensive backs. The option is the subject of the lesson, with B. J. Dickey filling in at the number one quarter- SPOR TS OF THE DAIL Y: Blue crossers cruise back spot for the absent Rick Leach. The frigid weather is making the ball hard to handle, and the offensive back- field coaches are steaming as the back- field teams have their problems executing with the expected degree of perfection. The hardest hitting of the specialty drills takes place in the pits, as the two teams of offensive linemen take turns moving out a team of defenders. The crack of pads slamming together is startlingly loud, echoing across the vacant rows of the stadium. On the "snap", the crouched for- mation of the biggest young men on the field springs into action, executing a variety of blocking assignments. "Both of you ends are too soft," shouts a coach. "Unload on that defensive end!" THROUGHOUT these specialty drills, Schembechler strolls slowly from station to station, shouting a comment or training his eye on a specific player. The tension noticeably rises when the head coach is looking on. The players are anxious to perform well before the main man, and the coaches will tolerate no mistakes from their charges. These practices are serious business.. So what appears to be eleven Wolverines on the field out-toughing their opponents each Saturday is revealed in practice to be much more than that. The remarkably extensive training these athletes go through con- ditions them, making the correct response to a situation an essentially instinctive one. It is the combination of the players' talent and the preparation the coaches give them that makes for the gridiron success Michigan has enjoyed. BILLBOARD The men's tennis match with Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville was'. canceled due to the abundance of in- juries and sickness on the SIU team. The match was scheduled for tonight at 7 p.m. in the Track and Tennis Building. Michigan's netters will still play Kentucky tomorrow night at 7 in the same building. * * * All those interested in being football managers for the .1978 season contact Mark Andrews at 995-4825. women (Weber, Krickstein, Diaz-Perez and Wood). In addition, another first- year Wolverine, Wit Stodghill, will be on the sidelines temporarily with a stress fracture. Stodghill had played her way to the number five spot prior to her injury. WITH A TEAM that seems like it should still be wet behind the ears, the' natural assumption would be to write this year off at the start for rebuilding purposes. But Atwood certainly doesn't see things that way. "It would seem to be the case, but not here," he said. "Our freshmen are every bit as experienced as the rest. In ofact, I can guarantee that Susan Weber has played in more competitive mat- ches than anyone else on the team." Weber, indeed, has taken heavy doses of competitive tennis for the past five years, averaging approximately 15 tournaments per year since she was 14 years old. Likewise, Krickstein rarely sets down her racquet, playing in U.S. National tourneys for six years before gaining considerable experience last summer playing on a European circuit. APPARENTLY, what the netters lack in age, they more than make up for in experience and talent. But the first indication of what lies ahead will come this weekend in Madison. Atwood ex- pects the NU Wildcats to provide most of the competition. "Northwestern should be good," said Atwood. "They'll put some pressure on us. But if we play well, we should win." Provided, of course, that their well- rested competition racquets wake up in a great big hurry. After all, this is the first time in seven months that the net- ters will be facing perfect strangers on the other side of the net., SCORES NBA San Antonio99.

Pittsburgh 3 The Michigan Daily-Friday, March 31, 1978-Page 11 Wings in playoffs despite 4-0, LA loss. By KEVIN ROSEBOROUGH special to The Daily DETROIT-For the Detroit Red Wings, last night's National Hockey League action resulted in some good news and some bad news. The bad news was that the Wings came off on the short end of a 4-0, decision to the Los Angeles Kings at Olympia. The loss to the Kings, their, Norris division arch rival, spoiled the Wings' plans to get-a solid grip on second place. Instead they dropped into third while the Kings jumped a point up in the race for second. But the good news is that the Wings, on the strength of last night's Pitts-' burgh 6-3 loss to Boston, have clinched the final wild card playoff berth;' Their loss to Boston puts the Wings out of the Penguin's reach as they are 1 points up with just five games to go. Detroit just couldn't get untracked at any time during the game. They. could manage only a meager 13 shots on goal for the entire contest. The Kings came out flying and the Wings just couldn't keep up with the ' hustling purple and gold. The Detroit defense was continually confounded by.s, the swerving pass plays that LA worked in the Detroit end. The Kings grabbed the lead at 10:21 of the first period as Mike Murphy' banged in his 18th goal of the year. He rammed home the puck after being ' fed by Butch Goring, who was handed the puck by Detroit's Billy Lochead. It was more of the same in the second period, as Syl Apps tipped in a- pass from Hiagland Monahan as he stood alone in front of the Detroit net. Red Wing Jean Hamel was the culprit on the next goal, as he fanned on a clearing pass deep in the Red Wings' end. Butch Goring alertly slid a quick pass to Tommy Williams, who buried a slapper in the lower right corner. Marcel Dionne picked up the final King tally, his 32nd of the year, on a, hard high drive from the right side. Rob Palmer, a former member of the University of Michigan hockey team, dressed for the Kings but saw no action. It was sloppy play all around that caused Detroit's first loss in their last ten games at Olympia. SUMMER CAMP POSITIONS AVAILABLE AT CAMP SEQUOIA Located in the Catskill Mtns. in Upstate N.Y.

INTERVIEWS ON CAMPUS: Wednesday, April 5- For appointment, application, information: MRS. COOPER SUMMER PLACEMENT OFFICE 763-4117 By TOM STEPHENS Michigan State's varsity lacrosse team was no match for this year's Wolverine club team at Elbel Field Wednesday night. The Blue took their outclassed opponents into the locker rooms at halftime leading 6-2. Thesecond half was more of the same. as the many Michigan midfielders shared playing time, totally outhustled the tired Spartans, and kept up ferocious pressure throughout the half on their way to a 12-3 home field romp. Michigan coach Bob Di Giovanni wasn't overly satisfied with the big win however. "There were a lot of problems," he said after the game. "The field was muddy and torn up and the lights were bad. But there are a lot of fundamental things we still aren't doing well, just little things like picking up loose balls and passing. I'd have to say we played a poor game and won on superior skill." - There was a lot of talk on the team about the unsatisfactory playing con- ditions. The game was supposed to be played on the Tartan Turf just south of Yost, where the field is dry and the lights adequate. But the lines there had been freshly painted and the location was changed at the last minute to the mud at Elbel Field. To the winners goes the Bagattaway trophy, the annual prize for this game. From the roughness of play it was easy to see that each team wanted it pretty badly. "That was probably' the best checking we've seen in a Big Ten game this year," commented Di Giovanni. The Michigan scoring parade was led by Chris Phillips with four goals and two assists. Bobby Fleischman had three goals and a pair of assists. Rick Bays scored three times, in- cluding twice in rapid succession from the same spot in the third quarter. Both shots were blistering overhanders that the State goalie might have regretted saving if he had been able to reach them. The lacrosse club's next game is Saturday night on the Tartan Turf with Indiana. Game time is 8:00. Davis dominates So what if most of the field entered in the Cape Coral Intercollegiate a has played year-round. Doug Davis doesn't mind. His rounds of 72-67 give him a one-stroke lead at the midway point, and puts the Wolverines in ninth place overall. Host team University of Florida is the runaway leader with a 10-stroke lead over second-place Jacksonville. After that, things clog up as only one shot separates each of the next six teams. Michigan would be in third place had not freshman Ed Humenik signed an incorrect scorecard and had his first round 76 disqualified. That forced the Wolverines to settle for Rod Pafford's 83 and consequently knock them seven strokes further back. -Daily Sports f ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT HOURS- 3:00-6:00 p.m. Monday-Friday 1/2 PRICE DRINKS 154 HOT DOGS w/all the trimmings BLUE FROGGE 11 Church 995-5955 Invite the bunch...
