Page 8-Saturday, October 17, 1981-The Michigan Daily Tght Big Ten race enters crucial stages By LAURA CLARK With the Big Ten race for the Roses entering a crucial week, a number of conference teams can make or break their season today. In addition to the Michigan-Iowa clash in Ann Arbor, league co-leader Wisconsin travels to East Lansing to face Michigan State, Ohio State hosts Illinois, Minnesota goes on the road to Indiana, and Northwestern is at home against Purdue. ONE OF THE key contests is in Columbus, where the Buckeyes hope to. rebound from last week's loss to Wisconsin. The visiting Illini also'suf- fered their first conference loss last week, as Purdue bulldozed through a - weak Illinois defense on the way to a 44- 20 win. The Buckeyes' fate will probably lie in the passing game of quarterback Art Schlichter, who has completed 89 of 160 passes this season for 1,198 yards and six touchdowns. Illinois should also put on a good offensive show with the potent passing game of Tony Eason, who has an edge on Schlichter statistically with 98 completions in 160 tries., The Hoosiers of Indiana are in dire need of some off-season basketball en- thusiasm to fire up their gridders when they face a seemingly superior Min- nesota team. After squeaking past Nor- thwestern in the season opener, 21-20, Indiana promptly lost its next two non- conference and two conference games, dropping to 1-4 overall. THE GOPHERS, meanwhile, are looking to pick up their first win in Bloomington in 13 years. Minnesota has. won four games, all at home, while dropping one on the road to Illinois. But the road jinx doesn't bother Minnesota coach Joe Salem. 'I don't believe in all that stuff," said Wisconsin, Ohio State face key contests Salen. "All I know is that we are mioving into the toughest part of our schedule, and if we hope to improve our record we'll just have to stiap things on and get at it. If we play well we can win. If we don't play well we'll get beat-home or away." Testing the Hoosiers' defense will be the combination of quarterback Mike Hohensee and flanker Chester Cooper. Against Northwestern last week, Hohensee threw for a personal-best 251 yards, with Cooper catching nine of the tosses in the Gophers' 35-23 win. PURDUE, 1-2 IN the conference, travels to face Northwestern, 0-3 in the league, with i lesson learned by past experience-don't take the Wildcats too lightly. Two years ago, the Boiler- makers were forced to score a touch- down in the final moments of the game to nip Northwestern, 20-16. And after two losses on the road to Minnesota and Wisconsin this season, you can bet that coach Jim Young's squad will be ready. The Wildcats rely heavily on the pass, but Purdue's new "dime-package" defense, which keys on the pass, should put a clamp on Northwestern's air at- tack. Leading the way for the Boiler- maker defenders is 6-3, 220-pound out- side linebacker Roosevelt Barnes, who accounted for 13 tackles and three sacks against Illinois last week. Northwestern coach Dennis Green will look to freshman signal-caller Kevin Villars to lead the attack against Purdue. Against Minnesota last week, Villars had the fourth best passing day in Wildcat history, completing 25 of 42 pass attempts., FOR THE FIRST time all season, the Badgers of coach Dave McClain are on the road, facing Michigan State. Coming off a 24-21 victory over Ohio State last week, Wisconsin has established itself as the front-runner in the race for the Big Ten title. The Spartans, on the other hand, are winless in the league and are coming off last week's 38-20 loss to Michigan. Helping the Spartans out, though, are the injuries to Wisconsin running backs Chucky Davis and John Williams, who will miss the game today. But the Badgers displayed good depth in last week's win over OSU. "Depth was the key for us there," admitted McClain. Spartan quarterback Bryan Clark passed at will against the Wolverines last week, completing 21 of 38 passes for 316 yards and two touchdowns. Clark, the son of Detroit Lions coach Monte Clark, could help his team stop the Badgerexpress. Leading the Wisconsin defense is All-American candidate nose guard Tim Krumrie. e) Tae kwon do gains popularity By JAMES LOMBARD The most popular martial art in the world is not judo or aikido, but instead a rather obscure activity called tae kwon do, according to Keith Hafner, the manager and head instructor of "The Academy," a studio for martial arts located on S. Main in Ann Arbor. Tae kwon do (which translates into "foot, hand, mind" in Korean) was developed about 2,000 years ago as a method of self-defense which has evolved into a sport. While involving the use of most of the body's muscles, tae kwon do stresses - kicking maneuvers. HAFNER, WHO has earned a second- degree black belt and is soon to shoot for the third-degree honor after eight years of work, said that the city of Ann Arbor, and the state of Michigan in general, is an active area for tae kwon do study. The number of students taking tae kwon do classes at The Academy is "up 25 percent over last year and growing about 20 percent per year." Hafner believes that tae kwon do is a more efficient means of self-defense than either aikido or judo, and that its graceful combination of spinning kicks and punches increases its attrac- tiveness even more. r BIRTH CONTROL 0COUNSELING "You can react offensively if you have to, to disable your assailant," Hafner said. To use most other martial arts, one must be attacked before being able to do anything. HIS BROTHER Robert, a first- degree black belt, said, "Tae kwon do is' growing at a much faster rate (than other martial arts) because it is easier to learn." The different levels of achievement, from the bottom, are white, green, blue, brown, and several degrees of black belt. On the average, an individual must study for two-and-a-half years before attaining the level of black belt. Approximately 225 people, of both sexes and all different age groups, train at The Academy, most with the hope that tae kwon do will improve their abilities to defend themselves. A typical course consists of eight weeks of two one-hour-and-a-half classes. THERE ARE other motives that people have who put themselves through the rigors of tae kwon do, however. Not the least of these is the discipline which the sport requires, both mentally and physically. For some, it becomes almost a way of life. Keith Hafner said that when begin- ning, physical conditioning is more im- portant than mental. It "is faster to train the body than the mind," he ex- plained. He said that the sport becomes more of a mental experience as one moves up the scale, with the level of black belt requiring almost completely mental faculties. He maintained that a 90-year-old man would be able to hold his own because of experience and mental discipline. An added attraction of studying tae kwon do at The Academy is that the seventh-ranked non-oriental in the world, Master Edward Sell, frequently pays visits to lecture and demonstrate the, branch of tae kwon do called "chung do kwan." Sell is also president and founder of the Korean Tae Xwon Do Association of America, and he has spent, 18 years of full-time study, training, and teaching the sport. A TYPICAL TAE kwon do workout takes place in a stark, all-white rec- tangular training room. There is nothing else in the room, excepting one American and one Korean flag, in order to allow students to concentrate com- pletely on the task at hand. Upon en- tering (and exiting) the room, each student bows to signify respect for the activity. The workout begins with the students in rows facing the flags and the instruc- tor. After bowing to both, the students do some stretching and running-in- place. They then move on to defensive stances and offensive maneuvers. The session concludes with some limited- contact sparring by the higher-ranking students. Hafner said that a good way to get in= volved in tae kwon do is to observe a practice or tournament. There are not any competitions in Ann Arbor in the immediate future, but one takes place at Chelsea High School on November 1.
