The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, April 12, 1978-Page 9 Wolverine netters blank opposition.) 9-0 Women corral Broncos and Mother Nature too By ERROL SHIFMAN Taking their cue from the post office, Michigan's womens tennis team over- came wind, rain, train smoke and a change of scenery yesterday in bucking the Weston Michigan Broncos, 9-0. The wind played havoc with lobs and service tosses and drop shots were com- mon. Early in the match, black smoke from a passing train was blown in, covering the courts. Midway through the singles, a short sprinkling of rain added to the nip- py temperature., Forced outside because of the mens match going on inside, the lady netters literally breezed through the singles competition, losing only ten games between the six of them. The women moved inside for their doubles routine, playing side by side with the men, and showed they were not just mudders.' Pepper-pot Susan Weber led the rout, throwing a shutout at her foe in third singles. "It was really crazy with the wind," said Weber. "The service toss on one side had to be to the right and on the other side it had to be to the left, just to get it in the middle.". Kathy Krickstein, moving up to number two, remained unbeaten this year with a 6-0, 6-2 drubbing of Sue Ghindia. Krickstein is now 5-0 for the season in singles and 4-0 in doubles with her roommate-partner Lisa Wood. Wood used the cross court forehand to perfection in her match, downing Bron- co Jean Gallagher, 6-1, 6-0. Gallagher managed only six points in the second set. In doubles; the duo of Karzen and Ann "Swatter" Kercher blanked their op- ponents, 6-0, 6-0. The sharp net play of Kercher roped the Bronco pair point after point. Blue Coach John Atwood shook up his line-up for second and third doubles. Diaz-Perez and Weber, scheduled to be third doubles behind Krickstein and Wood, were moved up to the number two spot. Senior co-captain Missy Pollick and number six singles Elaine Crosby were inserted at third doubles. "Missy hasn't played and I wanted to get her in because she probably won't play again this year," explained Atwood. "Also I wanted Leticia and Sue to play a tougher match than they were supposed to." Both pairs were equal to their assignments. The Diaz-Perez-Weber combo held Western's team of Jean Gallagher and Sue Ghindia to just four points in the first set enroute to a 6-0, 6-1 triumph. Pollick and Crosby had an easy time also, 6-1, 6-0. Western Coach Janet McCutcheon was not at all surprised by the Broncos' per- formance in their first match of the year. "I didn't expect them to do well their first match," sighed McCutcheon. "The kids were pretty scared too because Michigan is always supposed to be so strong." The Wolverine ladies will try to increase their strength this weekend in Columbus at the Buckeye Open.

Tigers claw Texas ARLINGTON (AP) - Catcher Milt May had three hits, including a three-run homer off Doc Medich, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 6-2 victory over the Texas Rangers last night. Dave Rozema, the American League's rookie pitfher of the year in 1977, scattered six hits in his first outing of the 1978 season. The Tigers chased Medich, who was making his debut with the Rangers after being obtained in the off-seasson as a free agent. After walks to Rusty Staub and, Steve Kemp, Tim Corcoran delivered a two-out single to drive in one run. May then drilled his second homer of the season deep into the right field stands. Mike Hargrove's sacrifice fly in the third inning gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead against Rozema, but the Tigers moved in front in the fourth on RBI singles by Corcoran and Alan Trammell. Richie Zisk homered in the ninth for the Rangers' other run. With the win against the Rangers, the Tigers now have a 3-1 record.

He turned to Spinks, who is missing several front teeth. "I had a perfect name picked out for you, but you tricked me.

The score was so lop-sided, that no Spartan player won more than three games in any given set. "This was our best indoor match so far this season," commented Michigan coach Brian Eisner. In first singles play, Michigan's Jeff Etterbeek breezed past Tighe Keating 6-1, 6-2. Etterbeek kept Keating from moving up and playing net, with continual deep: shots to the baseline. "It's always fun to play Michigan State. The key to the win was that I never got too relaxed with my play," stated Etterbeek. Matt Horwitch, showing little signs of ill-effect in his third match since his one- month layoff, downed Spartan Steve Klemm 6-3, 6-2. "There is still a little pain in my foot (which is still broken)," said Horwitch, a freshman. "I was a bit lackadaisical. When I wasn't moving, I had problems, but I felt very confident today," added Horwitch. Michigan's Brad Holland got back on the right track with his6-1, 6-3 victory over Frank Willard. "I felt really good today. It's good to get back indoors (after playing outdoors this past weekend). I felt more confident," exclaimed Holland. Jud Shaufler, who has been suffering from a strained lower back in recent days, easily defeated Matt Sandler. Shaufler didn't play outside this past weekend for fear of aggravating his back in the cold weather. Playing probably his best tennis so far, Ihor Debryn crushed the Spartan's Steve Heitzner 6-0, 6-1. "I'm just starting to feel good about my play. My serve was working, which really helped." Another recently recovered Wolverine, Jack Neinken, had an easy time with his Spartan counterpart. "After just getting over a cold, I can't really complain about my play," said Neinken. The Wolverines kept things rolling, sweeping the three doubles matches in straight sets. The first doubles pair of Etterbeek and Horwitch subdued the Spar tan tandem of Keating and Klemm. Second doubles action saw the team of Shaufler-Holland defeat Willard Carter, while Peter Osler and Ollie Owens downed the Sandler-Heitzner team il third doubles. Michigan is now 6-0 overall and 3-0 in Big Ten play. The Wolverines travel to Northwestern for a Friday meet and then to Wisconsin for a Sunday meet. "We'll have to be our sharpest against Wisconsin. That4neet is like the Michigan-Ohio State football game for us," concluded Eisner. ANN ARROR THRIFTSHOP 120 N. Fourth --STUDENTS -- Give us your boots and winter clothes.
