Spikers si By BOB WOJNOWSKI 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 SPOR TS OF THE DAIL Y ccumb to 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.

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. uiy rnoto y ULBKAHLEW ENIOR SPIKER Janice Margulies puts a shot over the outstretched arms a Western Michigan player, as Kerr!
