Donakowski.
The spark to run again came from
Donakowski's older brother. "He never stopped
encouraging me to run," said Donakowski. "All
of a sudden I looked at myself and decided that I
was not a quitter."
THE TURNING point came late in his junior
year during the indoor-outdoor track season. at
the Central Collegiate Indoor Championships
Donakowski won the two-mile race in 8:54. For
Donakowski winning the race was overshadowed
by something far more significant.
"Winning was great, but more importantly I
knew that I went out and gave 100%. I wasn't
doing that before; I didn't have that desire," said
Donakowski.
With a rekindling of the desire to run com-
petitively, Donakowski started slowly this
season due to an ankle injury. However, after a
disappointing 17th place finish in the Springbank
Invitational, and missing the Notre Dame In-
vitational due to injury, Donakowski finished fir-
st in the MSU dual meet last week.
MORE THAN individual success, Donakowski
is hoping for a team championship in the up:
coming Nov. 7 Big Ten meet on the University of
Minnesota campus.
"Confidence is the key. We need seven guys to
believe in our ability to win the Big Ten, and then
go out and run up to their potential. If we can-do
that, we will win the title," said Donakowski.
Although cross country rarely receives the at-
tention and glamour associated with more
popular sports such as football and basketball,,
Donakowski finds the sport exciting and rewar-
ding.
"Everytime you compete you stretch yourself
and your body to the limits. You really get the,
chance to find out what you are capable of," said
Donakowski.
Reaching those limits can be a long and rocky
road. Just ask Gerard Donakowski.

NEW YORK (UPI) - Tommy John,
using his sinker to perfection, drove his
ex-teammates' championship hopes
deeper into the ground last night with
seven innings of three-hit pitching in
helping the New York Yankees defeat
the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 and take a
commanding two-game lead in the
World Series.
Lary Milbourne's two-out, run
scoring double in the fifth inning, which
came after an error by second baseman
Dave Lopes, provided the only run John
and reliever Rich Gossage needed to
defeat Burt Hooton and complete a
home sweep for the Yankees in the first
two games of the Series.
THE YANKEES added a pair of
eighth-inning insurance runs on an RBI
single by Bob Watson and a sacrifice
fly by Willie Randolph.
The best-of-seven Series resumes at
Los Angeles tomorrow night beginning
at 8:30 p.m. EDT, with rookie left-
hander Dave Righetti pitching for New 1
York and rookie left-hander Fernando
Valenzuela going for the Dodgers. It
will mark the first time since 1950 that
two rookie starters will oppose each
other in the Series.
John, 38, who pitched for the Dodgers
against the Yankees in the 1977/and 1978
seasons, struck out four and allowed
only three outfield outs before leaving
the game for a pinch hitter in the seven-
th. Gossage allowed one hit over the
final two innings to pick up his second
save of the Series.
AS HAS BEEN the case in the
previous meetings between these club
since 1977, it was a defensive play the
Yankees made and one the Dodgers
didn't that proved to be the difference.
John turned in the defensive gem for
the Yankees when he knocked down
Steve Yeager's hard liner with two out
in the fifth and runners on first and
third and threw but the Dodger catcher
at first.
John set down the first 12 batters in
order, retiring nine on infield groun-
ders, before Steve Garvey broke the
string with a ground single to cente4
leading off the fifth.
