The Michigan women's volleyball
team opened its 1981 campaign in In-
diana over the weekend by dropping
two of three matches.
In a dual meet Friday night in West
Lafayette, the Wolverines defeated
Alabama, 16-14, 6-15, 15-8, 15-8, then fell
in the second match to Big Ten op-
ponent Purdue, 12-15, 9-15, 4-15.
The next night in Bloomington, the
spikers lost a tough five-set match to
Indiana, 5-15, 15-8, 15-10, 10-15, 9-15.
The Wolverines, who finished 26-17
last year and were third in the state and
eighth in the regionals, swing back into
action tonight with a match at Wayne
State. They travel to Ypsilanti for the
Eastern Michigan Invitational this
weekend before opening the home por-
tion of their schedule next Tuesday
against Western Michigan.
Borg gets death threats
NEW YORK (AP) - Bjorn Borg's
dream of winning the U.S. Open was
shattered by John McEnroe and sullied
by two death threats.
The Swede, who has captured five
Wimbledon titles and six French Open
crowns, failed for the 10th time to add
America's premier tennis event to his
list of laurels. It was the fourth time he
has gained the final, only to lose.
THE RECORD will show McEnroe
demolished Borg, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, ,-3 Sun-
day, giving the left-hander hiĀ§ third
consecutive national title-the first
man to do that since the legendary Bill
Tilden won six straight from 1920-25.

The record book won't mention the
two anonymous calls to the Nation Ten-
nis Center threatening Borg's life. One
came Saturday before Borg crushed
Jimmy Conners 6-2, 7-5, 6-4. Lennart
Bergelin, Borg's coach, was notified,
but Borg was not told until the match
ended.
Sunday's call was received at the
National Tennis Center switchboard

just as Borg was capturing the first set
against McEnroe.
"THE CALL CAME at ap-
proximately quarter to five," said Lt.
Robert Becker, a police officer who
was immediately notified. "It was a
male. He said he would kill Borg when
he walked on the court."
Becker said no one was informed of.
the second call until after the men's

singles final ended.
After Borg's service return sailed
long at match point, the Swede
congratulated McEnroe at the net, gave
the traditional salute to the umpire and
gathered up his rackets and jacket.
Surrounded by security personnel and
police, Borg skipped the awards
ceremony, showered and immediately
went to a waiting station wagon.
He refused to answer any questions.
Bergelin said: "Everthing is OK."
Yesterday Borg canceled severa
personal appearances he was to mak
in the New York City area. No reason
was immediately given.
Heiden wins bike race
First he conquered speed skating,
now it appears that four time Olympic
gold medalist Eric Heiden has set out
to top the cycling world as well.
Ann Arbor residents had a chance to
witness Heiden's bicycling ability when
the Wisconsin native coasted to a vic-
tory in the 35-mile Fall-Fest Criterion
race held here last Sunday.
The world-record speed skater was
one of the almost 100 participants of the
race. The event, which is held bi-
annually in September and again in
April, has the contestants ride a course
through the campus.
Tem elton apologizes
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Shortstop Garry
Templeton of the St. Louis Cardinals
apologized yesterday for making ob-
scene gestures to heckling fans and was
reinstated to the National League
baseball club
"I would like to apologise for in in-
cident that happened Aug. 26," Tem-
pleton said at a press conference at
Busch Stadium. "I know I did a grea,
injustice to St. Louis fans."
"THEY HAVE TO realize I have
some problems," said Templeton, who
has been hospitalized since Aug. 31 for
psychiatric evaluation.
The 25-year-6ld infielder added that
doctors have diagnosed that he suffered
from a depression over the past three
years and have prescribed medication
for him.
Davis fractures leg
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) -
Oakland safety Mike Davis sustained a
fractured leg just three minutes intoW
Monday night's National Football
League game against Minnesota,
Vikings officials said.
Davis was the Raiders second-round
draft pick in 1977. The fourth-year pro
sustained the injury when he was
blocked by Minnesota wide receiver
Sammy White on a play going to the op-
posite side of the field, a sweep of right
end by Vikings running back Te
Brown.
