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. Donakowski' reaching his potential ANN ARBOR GOLD AND SILVER EXCHANGE 216 S.

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.
