PLEASANT - Michigan's women's tennis team swept the doubles competition and narrowly escaped. defeat here yester-. day in a 6-3 triumph over Central Michigan. The Chippewas provided the toughest competition the Wolverines have seen all year. They were helped by blustery winds, and rowdy fa'ns, but Michigan overcame these obstacles to post their fourth victory in as many outings. The meet ehtered the doubles competi- tion tied at three apiece. Michigan's num- ber one doubles team of Barbara Selden and Kathy Karzen dropped their opening set 4-6. Then the tide suddenly turned for this nationally ranked duo and they hit winners like they were going out of style. They easily won the next two set 6-1 and 6-2. Michigan sealed the victory as Ann Ker- cher and Deborah Rentschler won second doubles 6-4, 6-7. Jan Karzen and Elaine Crosby provided the final margin of victory with a 6-1, 7-5 third doubles win. They won the last five games of the second set to prevent the match from continuing. Michigan's losses in the singles matches were more noticeable than their victories. Barbara Selden, at number one, lost to CMU freshperson Kellie Serges 5-7, 3-6. Sel- den was not -as upset with her play as she was with the Central fans who taunted her during the match. "You don't expect the crowd to behave like animals," said the sophomore, "their team's good enough, they don't need the crowd razzing their opposition." IN FIFTH SINGLES Jan Karzen lost a two hour and fifteen minute marathon-like match, 5-7, 7-6 (winning a 5-4 tiebreaker), and 4-6. "She's tough," said coach John Atwood. Ann Kercher was knocked off at third singles 0-6, 2-6. "I just didn't have it to- day," said Kercher. She came back how- ever to play fine doubles. Kathy Karzen continued her strong play in the number two spot with a 6-2, 6-0 clobbering of Central's Toni Serges. FRESHPERSON RENTSCHLER dropped. her first set 2-6. Coach Atwood moved in and altered Rentschler's strategy from a power game to a push game. The Phila- delphia native adapted to the changes and swept the next two sets 6-1, 6-2. In her Michigan varsity debut Crosby was an easy 6-2, 6-4 sixth singles winner. Ohio State is next on the Wolverine schedule. They play in Columbus Saturday. Ohio State is ' the dominant factor in the Big Ten and scare Atwood. "I think we're going to have trouble. We shouldn't have had such a close meet against Central," he said.

But not always, according to Michi- gan's hockey coach Dan Farrell. Farrell stated, "This year's team will be very competitive, and given time to get together, could be better than last year's," who posted a 22-20 record. REASONS for such optimism lie in the fact that, "these guys have the potential for improve- ment during the season," ex- plains Farrell. "This was what hurt us last year, the lack of improvement~ as the season progressed." UPI Standings The United Press International Board of Coaches top 20 col-, lege football teams (fifth week) with first-place votes in paren- theses.: Even with a cutback in schol-' arships by the NCAA (from 23 to 20) Dan Farrell has some promising freshmen prospects joining the Deker's ranks. Dave Brennan, Dean Turner, Doug Todd, Dan Lerg and Rod Pa- cholzuk will all be expected to help fill the gaps left by last year's graduates. Unlike their predecessors, the defense this season is the only area where Farrell expresses some concern. "WE LOST a great deal of experience there (defense), which always hurts," relates Farrel' Ho :r, the defense is not withou: its veterans. Senior defensemen Rob Pal- mer and Greg Natale will lead this young Michigan defense. Strong performances are ex- pected from sophomore John Waymann and junior John Mc- Cahill as well. In addition, rook- ies Turner, Brennan and Pa- cholzuk should see a lot of time. In contrast to the less ex- perienced defense, the forward positions boast veteran status. According to Farrell, "We're in pretty good shape at center. Also, the right wing spot is very solid." RETURNING at right wing is this season's captain, senior Kris Manery, who led the team last year with 37 goals and 24 assists. Manery has been con- sistent in the past and will be looked to for another high scor- ing season.
