The Western Michigan women's volleyball team
thwarted a valiant comeback bid by Michigan by
taking a pulsating fifth and final game, 15-13 to cap a
15-3, 15-9, 4-15, 6-15, 15-13 victory over the Wolverines
in the CCRB last night.
The Broncos started strong, blasting their way to
easy 15-3, 15-9 victories in the first two sets before the
Wolverines turned rabid.
THE THIRD SET started slow, with Michigan
clinging to a slim 7-4 lead when senior Linda Cun-
ningham took over, serving 5 consecutive points for a
12-4 bulge. From there, the Wolverines closed it out
with senior Janice Margulies serving three straight
points.
It was at this point that Michigan appeared to take
control of the match.
"I thought we really grabbed the momentum in the
third game," said Michigan's veteran head coach
Sandy Vong. "I was trying to find a way to relax 'em
after the second game because they were too
tight-too out of control."
TO BE SURE, the squad heeded their coach's ad-
vice, as they breezed in the fourth game, 15-6 to set up
the decisive fifth game.
The Wolverines seized the early lead in the final
game, and appeared to be in total command when
Margulies closed out her service with two straight

points for an 8-1 Michigan lead. But the Broncos, win-
ners of the EMU Invitational in which Michigan
finished third, clawed back.
They fought to within 11-6, and then ran off six
straight points to grab their first lead of the game, 12-
11. In the process, they broke the Michigan service
four consecutive times.
MICHIGAN BROKE briefly back on top at 13-12,
but Western came right back, and after having ser-
vice broken once, closed it out at 15-13.
Michigan coach Vong was pleased with the
Wolverine comeback effort but was somewhat disap-
pointed with the team's overall play.
"I can't say that I'm pleased with our performance
because we really haven't played to our potential
yet," said Vong. "But I'm not going to get down on
them because Western is a very, very good team."
Jefferson part of the Pack
GREEN BAY (AP)- The Green Bay Packers
completed their trade for John Jefferson yesterday
when they announced agreement with the all-pro
receiver's agenton a series of four one-year contrac-
ts.
Jefferson, who with James Lofton will give the*
Packers one of the most potent wide receiver tan-
dems in the National Football League, was expected
AMU,
3-2
to arrive here Wednesday to sign the agreement.
The trade with the San Diego Chargers, announced
last Thursday, was conditional on the Packers
signing Jefferson, who had not reported to the
Chargers this year because of a contract dispute.
The first announcement of the trade said the
Packers would pay the Chargers undisclosed future
draft choices plus other considerations.
Green Bay Coach Bart Starr said yesterday the
Packers will send Aundra Thompson, a fifth-year
receiver, to the Chargers as partial compensation.
Starr declined to specify the draft choices involved.
Martin may boycott playoffs
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Billy Martin, manager
of the Oakland A's, has threatened to boycott post-
season play if he and his coaches don't receive.
players' shares for the divisional playoffs, according
to the Oakland Tribune.
Managers and coaches pay dues to the Major
League Players Association, but the association's
agreement with owners after the players' strike this
summer called for only players to receive extra
money for the special divisional playoffs.
"If me and my coaches don't get paid, whether we
win or not, we won't be around for the American
League championship seriers or the World Series
either," Martin told baseball writer Kit Stier.
