SMAIL SCORES FOUR GOALS No. Dak. wins title over N. Michigan, 5-2 PROVIDENCE, R.I. (UPI)-Junior left wing Doug Small, the tournament MVP, scored four goals on assists from sophomoe wing Phil Sykes last night to power North Dakota to a 5-2 victory over Northern Michigan and its third national title in the 33rd NCAA Hockey Tournament. The Fighting Sioux, who had previously won NCAA crowns in 1959 and 1963, avenged two earlier defeats to the Wildcats in early Janury in winning their 14th straight game tok cap a 31-8-1 season. North Dakota had lost to Minnesota 4-3 in last year's final in Detroit. THE WILDCATS, competing in their first NCAA tournament in just their fourth varsity season, finished 34-&1. Small opened the scoring at 9:43 of the first period on a Fighting Sioux power play, when he banged home the rebound of a Sykes shot for his 17th power- play goal of the year. North Dakota was forced to play without captain Mark Taylor, who also assisted on Smail's first goal, when he suffered a broken left collar-bone moments later. Taylor finished the season as the nation's second- leading scorer with 92 points, behind Wildcats senior wing Bill Joyce's 96 points. . Freshman goalie Darren Jensen, who did not play in the 4-1 semifinal victory over Dartmouth, stopped 20 of 22 Northern Michigan shots. The, Sporting Views lympic show must gon .. . ... U.S. should play role By STAN BRADBURY ND ON THE eighth day he created the Olympic gold medal, so valuable that members of the human race are willing to sacrifice as much as 20 of the best years of their lives to earn a single such medallion. There is no substitute. All other awards only fall at the feet of a gold medal. The opportunity for Americans to attain this highest honor bestowed upon an athlete comes once every four years, but for most it's just a once in a lifetime chance. Unfortunately, this Olympic year President Jimmy Carter has decided to deprive our athletes of the most important competition of' their lives as a protest to the hosting Soviet Union. The actions taken by the government, in particular Carter, to use the U.S. non-participation in the Moscow Olympics as a tool to punish the Soviets, is ridiculous. As a means of punishment, the Carter policy is virtually harmless to the Soviets, and it hurts our nation to a far greater degree. Ideas for an alternative Games or another world championship are impractical. The idea of an alternative Games is an inane dream, it would take too much time, and the International Olympics Committee can't change the site, anyway. World championships are held each year in almost every sport, so another world championship won't be nearly as important as a real GOLD MEDAL. The best alternative this summer is to participate in the Games but organize a mass boycott of the opening ceremony. Carter's plea for other countries to boycott the events has been answered by only one nation, West Germany, so its effects are limited. It would be easy to get most of the American allies to agree to boycott the opening ceremonies, which would be an embarrassment to the Soviets that they wouldn't hide from their people. The complete boycott requested by Carter will backfire on the United States. The boycott will punish our athletes; our businesses, and our sports- loving fans, while it will only increase the Soviets claim to athlete superiority. United States businesses are losing over $13 million in Olympic-related sales to the Soviet Union. That's a lot of business to swallow, especially considering the size of our present trade deficit. If there is one way to teach the Soviets that their ideology is not superior, it is on the field of athletic competition. Probably the greatest setback to the Soviets in the last ten years was the U.S. hockey victory over the U.S.S.R. in the Winter Olympics. That same instance might also well be the highlight of patriotism in our own nation in recent years, as the entire country celebrated the win. The boycott will prevent anything like this from happening again. The Games are political; there's no questioning that. But the real problem with the Olympics is not politics; it's politicians. Carter has no choice but to continue his boycott because he is running for re-election, and if he changes his mind it will kill the already limited trust voters have in him. He has pimped our athletes and made them nothing more than his own political pawns. The Games have always been highly political in the past, but we have only pulled out before during wartime when it was virtually impossible to field a team. Why is this year so different from other years? As Bert Nelson, editor of Track and Field News, wrote, "The Olympic Games were never set up to separate the good guys from the bad guys. If they were, we wouldn't have been competing with the Russians all along. The Soviets are no different than they were last year or 10 years ago. "They have a long-recognized history of expansionism and repression. We competed with Uganda when Idi Amin was killing hundreds of thousands of his own people. Nobody kicked us out of the Olympics when we were involved in Vietnam, yet many people believed we shouldn't have been involved in that war." The Carter adminsitration says we are boycotting the Olympics because the Soviets are hosts, and they want the world to finally give them recognition as a regular place to live. They say the Soviets need the legitimacy. Considering that only two countries are boycotting the Games, the Soviets will get that legitimacy anyway. Perhaps the most ridiculous part of our government's boycott of the Games is that for four years our athletes train without any government help, but then the government just comes along and says that they can't go. Now if the government sponsored our athletes and paid for their training, they would have every right to tell them that they couldn't compete. But that is not the case. Athletes support themselves through jobs and public contributions. And now, the greatest contribution the public can make is show there dissatisfaction with Carter's boycott.

BY KENT WALLEY The Michigan women's tennis team lost a close match to Miami of Ohio, 5-4, in thecoldand wind yesterday at the outdoor varsity courts. Senior Kathy Karzen, playing num- ber one singles, got Michigan off to a good start by knocking off Wendy Sweney, 6-1, 6-4. Karzen had little trouble with Sweney, except in the second set when she let the score slip to 3-3. Following suit at the number two singles spot was junior Sue Weber, who quickly defeated Miami of Ohio's Nina Leigh Howard, 6-2, 6-3. But the rest of the match wasn't as easy for the Wolverines. In a long difficult match, senior Ann Kercher lost to Miami of Ohio's Lee Earl, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. And freshman Daisy Martin lost to Diane Edelmann, 6-2, 6-0. At number four singles, freshman Robbie Risdon staged a comeback to defeat Pam Dodman, 0-6, 6-4, 6-3. And in a real heartbreaker, sophomore Debbie Klein lost to Miami's Lauren Montgomery in a tie-breaker in the final set, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6. At this point, the score was all even at 3-3, with just the doubles matches left to play. Kercher and Martin playing number two doubles were quickly defeated 6-4, 6-2. With just the first and third doubles left to play, Michigan had their backs to the wall. Playing third doubles, Weber and Klein split the first two sets with Miami's Sally Schaberg and Dodman. In the thirdset Weber and Klein were up, 4-1, but Schaberg and Dodman came back to win five straight games and the match, 1-6, 6-2, 6-4. Even though Karzen and Risdon won at the number one doubles position, Miami of Ohio had the needed five poin- ts to win the match. Michigan's Coach Oliver Owens commented, "We were off a little. Miami of Ohio was better than I had ex- pected. They're a good team; they won the close matches."- Michigan travels to Kalamazoo Tuesday for another non-conference match.

Lacrosse club romps The Michigan Lacrosse Club began their season with an overwhelming 14-2 win over the Purdue j Boilermakers yesterday at Tartan Turf Field. The leading scorers of the eventful evening were attack wings Tom Simon (four), Eddy Anderson (two), and midfielder John Kovanda (two). With goal after goal, it became ap- parent that the Wolverine players were definitely the dominating team, as they cpntrolled the pace of the game. H wever, Coach Pete Lodwick said, "My assessment of what happened in the second, third, and fourth quarters of the game (with the exceptional number of goals scored) is that we should have scored more in the first quarter. We were slow to get started." Lodwick's explanation for the romp was, "The problem is that no one is familiar with the sport. Like us, most players are new to the game." The next home Lacrosse game is scheduled for 8:00 Wednesday night at the Tartan Turf Field against Detroit. -KIM HANAFEE 'Bird'shot down LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) - It's the time of the year when birds head north. But for Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, the trip will not be as far north as he had planned. The popular Detroit Tigers pitcher will start the baseball season not in the Motor City, but at Evansville, Ind., with the Tigers' farm club, Detroit General Manager Jim Campbell said yesterday. "We're still confident that Mark will pitch for us," Campbell said. "But right now, he needs to work and this is the best place for him. Mark understanls that." The 6-foot-3, 175-pounder has been struggling to return to action after a shoulder injury kept him out for most of last season. But he has been ineffective in exhibition games this spring. Fidrych pitched 6% innings in three exhibition games for the Tigers. He allowed 12 runs, nine earned on 15 hits, striking out three and walking six bat- ters for an earned run average of 12.13. at many locations1" UNISEX FOR RATES & RESERVATIONS Long and Short Haircuts Taylor Rental Center by Professionals at 4051 Carpenter Road (313) 971-8330 Dascola tylists (One block south of Meiiers Liberty off State-668-9329 Thrifty Acres) East U. at South U.-662-0354 Arborland-971-9975 National information and customer service telephone toll-free 1-800-327-0376 Maple Vilage-7614733 0 IL THE WINNERS OF THE HOLLVW00 KNIGHiS CONTEST ARE LEE BERKE: The Hollywood Knights are the final survivors of a dying breed of film afficionadoes determined to save our celluloid.
