"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.

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.

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." SPOR TS OF THEDAILY . .t .I Lanier pockets a cool $2 millon Acareer in ilaw- without lw school.
