last year.
"They always try to play up the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry when we go
down there," said Eisner, "so they will be ready for us."
Michigan's women's tennis team will be playing at College Station, Pen-
nsylvania today and tomorrow. The netters will compete against teams from
Ohio State, Princeton and Penn State.
This is the team's last match before the SMAIAW championships, which

Women running
Fresh off of a fairly imprssive showing, Michigan's women's track team
is heading into the Big Ten Outdoor Championships, held today and
tomorrow at Evanston.
Coach Red Simmons will only be sending nine team members to the
meet. "We don't have any depth. so we'll probably be fifth or sixth (place),"
he said. Most of the teams attending will be depleted because the academic
year has ended.
Simmons himself will not be going to the meet because he is being induc-
ted into Eastern Michigan's Hall of Fame this weekend.
