Boosted by the addition of
four freshpersons, a new coach,
a reorganized program which
provides scholarships, practice
facilities and equipment, the
women's tennis team takes the
court in today's home opener, a
noticeably improved and philo-
sophically changed unit.
Two nationally ranked players,
veteran Barbara Selden and
freshperson Kathy Karzen, head
the roster of talented Wolverines.
to meet a hardly imposing Henry
Ford Community College squad
this afternoon 3:00 p.m. at the
varsity tennis courts.
"I think we're going to be a

season," noted Michigan coach:
John Atwood. "We've got three!

zen, Jody Strom, Missy Pollick
and Melinda Fertig, last year's
second, third, fourth and fifth
seeded players return this fall.
However, they will probably
start in the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth positions due to high
caliber performances by the in-
coming freshpersons.
The additional strength of
this year's Blue line-up most
likely won't alter the outcome
*I
of today's confrontation with
HFCC, which in a previous
encounter was unable to win
one game in nine matches.
But, logically, according to
Atwood, the squad's overall
improvement should make a
considerable difference in the
scheduled bouts with tradi-
tionally tough Ohio State, Pur-
due and Michigan State, all
which soundly trounced the
Wolverines in post-season
tournament play last May.
"It was hard to make the
team- this year," stated Selden.
"We'll be better prepared men-
tally and physically. Last year
we won a lot of matches but the
team attitude wasn't there."
Selden credits the change of
attitude with the reorganiza-.
tion of the women's program
in general, and the arrival of
John Atwood as coach.
This year the women receive
indoor court time 2-21 hours per
day, all week long, and a supply
of tennis shoes and racket re-
stringings as needed. Last year,
practice time was limited to 1-
1% hours twice a week, with
one pair of tennis shoes provided
and no reimbursement for rack-
et maintenance.
"The change in administration
has definitely been felt this year
with the new women's athletic'
director, Virginia Hunt being
the impetus for much positive
change," stated Atwood. "Title

No, that wasn't a phone con-

Michigan's basketball coach
Johnny Orr, whose itinerary the
upcoming ten days also includes
stops in about ten other cities.
Since Orr was voted Coach of
the Year by the National Asso-
ciation of Basketball Coaches
last year (as his Wolverines
were finishing second in the
NCAA finals in Philadelphia)
his schedule has taken him to
speak in over 70 cities in the
U.S.

of these trips, Orr says,eis
