In the meantime, the conditioning and endur-

"We're doing a lot more distance work early this
year than in previous years," said Warhurst. "Last
'ear we were doing too much quality (speed) work
oo early, but now we're saving our quality for the
nd of the season."
AFTER COMPLETING two full weeks of this
kind of training, which often includes workouts of 12*
o 14 miles, Warhurst is satisfied with his team's
progression.
"So far we've accomplished just what we've
wanted to do," he said. "I set up the training sched-
ule in early August so I'm pretty sure of what we're
going to be doing right up until the Big Ten meet."
Taking aim at another Big Ten title this year,
Warhurst's confidence is seemingly unlimited. But
he hastens to add one minor pre-requisite.
"Barring injury and illness through the season,
we've in good shape," he noted. "But I always look
at things optimisticly, anyways."
That fact, Mr. Warhurst, is undeniable.

SCHEDULE REVAMPED:
Soccer club overhauls offense
By ERIC OLSON
soccer is growing rapidly over the
tire nation and Michigan's own
:cer club is no exception.
The Blue Booters' schedule has
en expanded to 13 games and it
itures national soccer p o w e r
ring Arbor.
Last year Michigan's Club posted a
ediocre 3-8-1 record which included
umiliating 2-0 loss to U of M Dear;
rn. Most of the losses could be
iced to the offense [or lack of it,
it is.] It scored just eight goals all
ison and were shut out four times.
rhe booters have a new look

rd sweeper, and three forwards or

help," said forward David "Nobby"
Sutton. Sutton, who paced the Wol-
verine attack last year with three
goals, is a candidate for the forward
sweeper position.
"Using a 3-3-1-3 will at least re-
duce the number of times we'll be
offsides," commented senior co-
captain Steve Olson who is coming
off an injury that forced him to miss
most of last season.
The booters were strong on de-
fense last year and should be again
with Bob Zack, Onoifrio Mistretta,
and Ian Cath all returning as starting
fullbacks. Gone is hard tackling
fullback Mike Moritz who trans-
ferred to rival Michigan State to
play. He will be missed.
Goalkeeping should also be strong
with keepers Richard Mathews and
Jeff Boudin both returning. Mathews
and Boudin shared the position
evenly last year.
Returning halfbacks or midfielders
are Brian White, Dean Sher, and
Olson. The halfbacks are the most
important players on the field be-
cause they play both offense and de-
fense. They control the tempo of the
game.
Dave Ritchie, an All-American in
high school, returns to the forward
line after a year's absence and
should give the booters more offen-
sive punch. Ralph Schwagner, Paul
Saam and Sutton are the other
returning strikers.

Blue golfers twelfth in opener
By GEOFFREY LARCOM
In its varsity debut last weekend,
the Michigan Women's Golf Team
placed 12th out of 20 teams at the
Illinois State Invitational.
Coach Tom Simon is excited about
the potential of his young team,
which improved nine strokes over the
two-day competition, combining Fri-
day's 380 total with a 371 score on
Saturday.
"WE WERE in 12th position after
Friday's play and then improved
nine strokes," said Simon. "Although
I thought we'd move up, I was still
encouraged by their play."
Though the second round was
played in a torrential rain, three of
Michigan's p 1 a y e r s managed to
carve out lower numbers on the
soaked golf course.
Senior captain Betsy Richart's
rounds of 89-83 led the Wolverines,
followed by Mary Jane Anderson
with 95-93, Allison Smith at 99-90 and
Amy Conlin with 97-108.
ANDERSON, Smith and Conlin are
all freshwomen, a fact not lost on
Simon.
"This is our first year and as young
as we are, I'm really optimistic about
the future," he said.
Michigan State topped the field,
followed by Stephens College, Pur-
due and Northern Illinois.
"Michigan State is the team we're
aiming to pass in a few years," added
Simon. "They have been playing for
nine years and are the strongest
northern team we'll see."
