Page Eight SURPRISE AT 3-3: THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday 'U y, October 22, 1976 Hoosiers no joke I IMpr o now By DAN PERRIN Imagine, if you can, having to face two of the top ten teams in the country back to back! That's the predicament the Hoosiers of Indiana face as The Number One Wolverines travel to Bloomington tomorrow and head to Ohio State next week- end. To make things worse, the Hoosiers are without their top running back, Courtney Sny- der, lost for the season due to a broken figula and a dislo- cated ankle in the opening game loss to Minnesota. Snyder, the leading ground gainer in Indiana history, was predicted to move from. eighth to second on the all-time Big Ten rushing list. With 2781 yards to his credit going into the 1976 campaign, the senior from Steubenville, Ohio needed only 929 yards to move behind former Ohio State star Archie Griffin. After sophomore tailbacks Tony Suggs and Darrick Bur- nett were injured, the most re-* cent starter is freshman Mark" Hackrader, who shows great potential with 548 yards in 91 carries for a 91 yards per game average, and two touchdowns. His latest stunt, a 191 yard per- formance in the Hoosiers 14-7 win over Iowa, was the third best single game yardage total by a freshman in Big Ten his- tory. Another IU standout has been wide receiver Keith Cal- vin, who stands in fourth place this year on the receiv- ing list with a six game total of 17 receptions for 205 yards and one touchdown. Senior Terry Jones is the starting quarterback and thus far has thrown 46 passes, com- pleting 18 for 218 yards and two touchdowns. As a team, the men from bas- ketball country are in the bot- tom half of the conference in every category except passing defense, which they given up a mere 100.5; yards a game, good for third in the confer- ence. The Hoosiers have been somewhat of a surprise this season boasting a 2-1 confer- ence record 3-3 overall, in- cluding two consecutive wins over Northwestern and Iowa. ,Head Coach Lee Corso, in the midst of his most successful: season at Indiana, thinks the Hoosiers can finish respective- ly, if they avoid more injuries. red soph By ERNIE DUNBAR If you were a cross country coach and had just lost three of your top sev- en runners, you'd probabl pack it up and call it a season. But fortunately for Michigan coach Ron Warhurst, the three injuries haven't been as serious as expected. ONE OF THE MAIN reasons that the '76 harriers still figure in the Big Ten title race is the improvement of sophomores Steve Elliott, Bruce Mc- Fee, and Doug Sweazey. Coming to Michigan last year as the fastest high school miler in the coun- try, Elliott found college running a difficult challenge. He proceeded to have a sub-par cross country season and looked forward to the present season to redeem himself. So far, he's bounced back and estab- lished himself as one of the team's toughest runners. "HE WAS SO determined to suc- ceed and such a competitor, that he was struggling to try and race and stay up in the workouts last year," said Warhurst. "I tried to tell him that if he wouldn't run as hard in the workouts and just run a consistently hard training sched- ule, that he'd probably race better," Warhurst added. "But Steve was de- termined to put in a 100 per cent ef- fort everyday." t rspark After learning by mistake last year, Elliott, from Pontiac, feels he's made the adjustment. "The extra mileage in practice and learning to run the extra mileage in races has really helped me," said Elliott. "NOW THAT I'M used to the train- ing," he said "I'm not as tired after workouts, so I'm rested when I race." Elliott's biggest race this year came last weekend when he kicked by two Michigan State runners in the last 150 yards to give the Wolverines the vic- tory. Bruce McFee is the second reason Michigan's cross country team remains competitive. "When Bruce came to Michigan as a freshman, his credentials were 9:52 for the two mile, and 4:41 for the mile," said Warhurst. "I DIDN'T EVEN know his name for the first three or four weeks of the season,"fhe added. But McFee, from Battle Creek, stuck with the team the entife season and showed steady improvement, dropping his two mile time from 9:52 to 9:10. One of McFee's greatest assets is his attitude. "He's got a tremendous head for competition," said Warhurst. "He doesn't know what it is to get psyched barriers out. He'll give you all he's got in a race." LO9KING BACK on his development as a r nner, M'Fee credits an increase in mileage as one of the main factors for his success. "I think a lot of what's helped out this year is a result of last year," said McFee. "The training. plus the psysical ability to do more mileage, has been a great help. "This year I've had a dramatic in- crease in mileage," McFee said. "Last year I never ran more than 60 miles a week. Last week I hit my maximum of 100 miles in a week. Probably the most unlikely athlete on Warhurst's squad is Doug Sweazey from Garden City. At 112 pounds, Sweazey amazes the cross country faithful week after week with his gutty performances. "DOUG JUST keeps hangin' in there," said Warhurst. "He's always smiling and is never bumbed out about a bad race. His attitude is 'well I'll just try harder next week'." Sweazey had early season success but is now hampered lately by a muscle pull in his upper hip. With the improvements of Elliott, McFee and Sweazey, Michigan's cross country team has a stronger shot at winning its third consecutive Big Ten title. PD. POL. ADV.

WHILE THE HUSKIES promise to be in contention for ,the top spot in the conference again this year, Tech coach John Maclnnes says, "We'd be satisfied to be in fifth or higher by Christmas,". adding, "I don't see this as a championship team but you never know." Tech got hit relatively hard by graduation and does have a few trouble spots. "It's very apparent that we lost a lot of goal-scoring pow- er but we lost a lot more. We lost our key face-off men and most of our key penalty killers and power play. Those are the little things that may be just as important to success as a lot of goals." COACH MacINNES was especially worried about the de- fense. Steve Letzgus, the Huskies best defenseman is injured and is not expected to play. Most of Tech's defensemen are offensively minded -and are led by Paul Jensen, who played on the U.S. Olympic team last year. Maclnnes is planning to use Ed Dempsey and Nels Goddard as his top defensive wall in front of goalie John Rockwell. ROCKWELL, A SOPHOMORE, will start the first game in the nets while Bruce Horsch will start game number two. Both are experienced and should give Michigan problems. Offensively, the Huskies should be potent. Center Stu Ost- lund, captain Stu Younger at left wing and right winger Ron Salt will probably give the Michigan defense all they can handle. Ostlund ended up last season as one of the top five scorers in the WCHA. Returning forwards Chris Ferguson, Dana Decker and Warren Young are joined by promising rookies Rodger Moy and John Hansen to round out Tech's front lines. BLUE COACH DAN FARRELL is pleased with the split at Wisconsin but feels that Michigan must improve to beat Tech. "Penalties and defense were our two main problems. Our goalies were constantly under fire by the Badger's pow- er play." Both coaches will be happy to split this weekend. Farrell says "you have to win up the. because they always get tough VINTAGE W iINES Probably not. All things considered you do what you do pretty doggone well. After all, no one has taken your job. And you're eating regularly. But... But have you ever considered what doing your S. University near Washtenaw 759-1744 re (at Tech) before Christmas er as the year goes on."

State i I I job just a little better might mean? I - - -- Money. Cold hard coin of the realm. If each of us cared just a smidge more about what we do for a living, we could actually turn that inflationary spiral around. Better products, better service and better management would mean savings for all of us. Savings of much of the cash and frayed nerves it's costing us now for repairs and inefficiency. Point two. By taking more pride in our work we'll more than likely see America regaining its strength in the competitive world trade arena. When the balance of payments swings our way again we'll all be better off economically. So you see-the only person who can really do what you do any better is you. i i 1 I S i s . fi 3]3 i !
