U.S. icers freeze Romanians, 7-2 The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, February 19, 1980-Page 11 MEN TRIUMPH, WOMEN A CLOSE SECOND Gymnasts strong n home fiales LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP)-Buzz Schneider scored two goals on assists from right wing John Harrington, and linemate. Mark Pavelich added another assist last night, carrying the unbeaten United States team to a 7-2 victory over Romaniain Blue Division hockey at the Olympic Games. The victory left the United States in a first-place tie with Sweden at 3-0-1. But eden, which beat Norway 7-1, is ead in goals differential, one of the tie-breaking criteria in determining which teams qualify for the medal round, and in what position. Sweden has scored 17 more goals than it has surrendered while the Americans are plus 13. XIII OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES PLACID 1980 . _ f ,a f ''+' < t ' - f full court as. s H score for women BY ALAN FANGER "Sara didn't come through for us." The words coming from Sheri Hyatt were loud and clear, but their content was drastically different than that which the media were used to hearing during the Sara Flom Era of Michigan women's gymnastics. Flom, who is the Wolverines' first, four-year letter winner, competed Sun- day in her final home meet, a triangular at Crisler Arena with Bowling Green and Indiana State. Among the many honors she has received are 1979 state all-around and regional floor exercise titles. Thus, it was ironic that an error by Flom on the uneven bars - a missed handstand which resulted in-a deduc- tion of .3 - proved to be a key to victory for Bowling Green, which edged Michigan, 135.35 to 135.10. Indiana State, which brought only three gym- nasts to Ann Arbor, finished a distant third with 97.20. "That could have made a differen- ce," said Hyatt. "She scored an 8.95 on that at Big Ten's." Though victory over the highly- regarded Falcons would have been a treat for Hyatt and her team, the Wolverine coach nonetheless had plen- ty to smile, about. It was the tumblers highest team score in their five-year history, and a mental boost for the state championship Thursday night. With one event, the floor exercise, left in the meet, the Falcons were ahead by an .85 margin. It was up to the Wolverine floor contingent, a group particularly adept at comebacks, to "go all out" in their final routines, as freshman Angela Deaver declared on the bench prior to the final event. The Blue tumblers did just that, pulling out a 34.6 team score which in- cluded an 8.85 from Teresa Bertoncin, who had missed the entire week of practice. But the Falcons came through with a solid floor performance of their own (34.00) and hung on to edge the Wolverines. Besides herusual praise for the team effort, Hyatt singled out some in- dividual performances as especially praiseworthy. "We had a pretty good day on bars," Hyatt said. "It was the first time Laurie (Miesel) made it all the way through With her new flip. And Cindy (Shearon) and Dana (Kempthorn) came through for us on vault." With championship time drawing near, the gymnasts have incorporated a greater element of risk into their routines. Deaver performed a series of three front flips on the beam, the last of which was her dismount. Despite a, deduction for discontinuity, she managed to score 8.6 for the routine. Miesel's new bar flip was another riskier move designed to earn "superiors". While Flom's missed handstand ap- peared to have fatal consequences for the team score, she managed to earn an 8.2 from the judges. And in her tour de force, floor exercise, her strong, high tumbling earned her a "standard's 8.7. The state meet, which will be hosted by Eastern Michigan, presents one ob- stacle for the Wolverines - Michigan State. The Spartans are hot off the heels of their third straight Big Ten cham- pionship, and their meet scores have averaged two to three points higher than the Wolverines. "It's whoever hits," said Hyatt. "If we hit, we could catch them." Men romp over 1SU By LEE KATTERMAN A gracious coach often compliments the opposing team following a loss, so it's not surprising to hear Indiana State gymnastics coach Roger Counsil say he was "impressed" by the Wolverines af- ter Sunday's Crisler Arena meet. But Counsil's words following the Sycamores 263.7-255.55 loss to Michigan was more than a show of good spor- tsmanship. You see, the Sycamore coach is one of five area gymnastics coaches on the Mideast Advisory Committee, a group given the task of recommending regional representatives to the NCAA Championships scheduled for April 3-6. "I've seen all the strong teams in the regions," said Counsil. "To me, it's between Michigan and Chicago Circle (Univ. of Illinois-Chicago Circle) as to who will go (as Mideast representative) to the finals." While Counsil praised the Wolverines, Michigan Coach Newt Loken was expressing concern that his team's 263.7 was not good enough. "How do you score 270?" queried Loken, referring to the goal he hopes his squad will yet reach. "It's so dif- ficult to get 4 or 46 in every event." Still, Loken expressed happiness over defeating Indiana State, his first vie- tory over the Sycamores in five years. He was also encouraged- to learn of- Counsil's positive appraisal ofnthe Wolverine gymnasts and noted his team has beaten, two of the Mideast's recognized powers in Indiana State and Minnesota. All the firstplace slots went to Wolverines except for pommel horse, where senior Dorian Deaver finished second with his 9.3. In fact, all the seniors performed well in their last Ann Arbor appearance. Cap- tain Jim Varilek improved his score a tenth of a point from last week's meet, capturing first on floor exercise with a 9.6. Varilek also said he was happy to beat Indiana State, but said he had hoped Michigan's score would have been higher. "I think we're better than a 263 team," he said. "We had some missed routines today. I know -we'll score better." The Wolverines will have four more opportunities to better their total, all on the road. And the Sycamore's Counsil said one criteria he'll use to decide on the Mideast representative to the NCAA finals is consistent scores, both home and away. So Michigan has a chance to lock up Counsil's vote. "In the next 21,J weeks, - w.ell- (Michigan) have to show scores worthy of being invited to the NCAA's," con- cluded Loken. by DAVE JOHNSON Throughout the 1979-80 basketball season, most Big Ten coaches have focused one eye on the conference race and the other on high school recruits. For Johnny Orr, Jud Heathcote, Eldon Miller and a host of other coaches, it's Clarkston's 6-10 center Tim McCormick with whom they're most interested. A Clarkston graduate myself, I've watched McCormick develop the past three years. As a.junior last year, he held impressive individual statistics including a 33 point/25 rebound average. And though his personal statistics have dipped to 25 points and 18 rebounds per game, more importantly, McCormick boasts an impressive "team" statistic -an umblemished 17-0 record. "That's all that really counts," says a most modest McCormick. "If we don't win, what good is my effort no matter how many points I score?" 1 Such a team-oriented attitude certainly scores a lot of points with college coaches. But according to McCormick, he's only considering seven - Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio State, U of D, Michigan State, Iowa and Central Michigan. Last Friday night I spoke to the heralded prep All-American after another 25 point/20 rebound performance. In recent conversations, he's limited most of the conversation to his high school teammates, careful not to tip his hat toward any particular college. Leaning Toward Michigan? But Friday night he left me feeling that Michigan held an edge. Not by anything he said. Just a feeling. " Brought up with strong family ties, McCormick expresses a desire to "play near home" so his parents can regularly see him play. Clarkston, a few miles north of Pontiac, is but an hour drive from Ann Arbor. " A 3.8 GPA student with interests in business, Michigan, of course, exhibits a business school second to none. " Last week's commitment of 6-6 all-state guard Dean Hopson of Huron High School raised McCormick's eyebrows. "I really like him a lot," said McCormick. "He's a total team player." "He was a teammate of mine last summer in Georgia and was the only one who ever looked for me (to pass). Everyone else just ran the ball up and shot." * And in listening to McCormick speak of Orr, he has tremendous respect for the Michigan mentor. "He's been just super," said McCormick. "He's showing the people what a great coach he really is, without a Phil Hubbard or Ricky Green." No decision yet Although it appears McCormick is leaning toward Michigan, he says he "won't reach a final decision until the prep season is over." Or as McCormick put it, "until we win the state championship." "Right now, I'm just concentrating on that title," said McCormick. "After the season, I'll sit down with my parents and look at the pluses and minuses." A minus for Michigan came last Saturday night. The tables were turned. This time with McCormick judging from the stands, the Spartans upset Michigan for the second time this season. The defeat dropped Michigan to 14-9 with four games remaining. Four critical games - and not solely in terms ofwins and losses. A major criteria in McCormick's selections of a college is a winning program. "My goal is an NCAA championship," said the.Clarkston star. "I want to play on a team which will be good for four years." Of course, any team with McCormick in its lineup will undoubtedly be a winner. Like Earvin Johnson before him - he's a franchise. But first such a team has to get him. A 14-13 record is hardly a winning program - yet that's exactly what Michigan could fall to if they allow the Spartan upset to get the best of them. That's why that defeat could be costly. It could lead to additional defeats - and ultimately, the loss of another blue-chip athlete. But if the Wolverines rebound with two victories in their last four outings, a Michigan-bound McCormick should be forthcoming. abortion?.
