4 Club Sports Roundup RUGBY "It just wasn't a eose game," said David Weber of last Saturday's match, and how right he was, as the Michigan Rugby Club blew out its Grand Rapids counterparts, 51-9.' The scoring looked like the team roster; everybody got into the act. "We scored so many that I can't remember them all," said Weber. Michigan scored 10 tries (four points each) against Grand Rapids. Tony Menyhart and Dave Kieris notched two tries, Mark Curry, Tom McLoughlin, and David Weber each had one try. Mark Hoch kicked in nine points, while Greg Rose booted two points. "We had a really balanced attack," said Michigan's Greg Rose. "We played one of our better games." The ruggers' next match is this Saturday against Ohio State at Elbel Field. The first game will be at 9:00 a.m. with the second game following at 10:30 a.m. WOMEN'S ROWING- The Michigan women's varsity and novice rowing teams travelled to Michigan State on Saturday Nov. 7 to compete against the Spartans in the 1500 meter races. The varsity stroked into first place in both the eight- and four-person categories. In the eight-rower boat,- Michigan's first place time was 5:47 while the two trailing MSU boats both came in with times over six minutes. In the four-rower race, Michigan edged a first place win with a time of 6:07 while the Spartans came in close behind in 6:08.7. "We hadn't even been training in a four so we're pretty proud of that," said Michigan's Sandy Ken- dall. Michigan's novice team did not fair as well. In the 'A' squad race MSU took first place with a time of 5:47.8 to Michigan's 6:24.9 time. The Michigan 'B' squad came out on top, however, as both of its boats finished ahead of State's lone entry with times of 6:17 and 6:28, leaving MSU to come over third with a time of 6:38. The women's races will resume next in the spring. SAILING , The Michigan sailing team captured the "Area 'A' Elimination" race last weekend at Baseline Lake. The victory qualifies the team for a spot in the Timme Angsten Memorial Regatta, to be held in Chicago after Thanksgiving. This regatta is hailed as the biggest meet in the fall, bringing in 18 teams from around the country. Six teams participated in the "Area 'A' Elimination," of which the top three-Michigan; which posted a top score of 18 points; Notre Dame, coming in second at 33 points; and Michigan State, which took third with 36 points- qualified for the Angsten Regatta. Michigan came through with the lowest scores in both divisions.' The Michigan sailors consisted of Scott Ferguson, Jorge Freeland, Doug Wefer, Dave Brede, Tom Danilek, Beth Borton, Dave Watt, Chris Herbster, Scott Bird, Liz Whalen and Laurie Neumann. "I thought it was good that we had so many people sail. Our worst finish was a third," said Michigan's Doug Wefer. "Last year we were fifth (in the Angsten Regatta). We should win the regatta this year if we sail well." The Club Sports Roundup relates briefly the activities of the Michigan club sports during the previous week. This week's infor- mation was compiled by Daily sports writer Tam Bentley. THE SPORTING VIEWS The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, November 17, 1981-Page 9 Cosell an enigma... ... but here's to his good points By DOUGLAS LEVY "The two biggest liars in the world are the people who tell you they don't watch 'Dallas' or listen to Howard Cosell." -Beano Cook, CBS-TV publicist Cosell burst upon the scene in 1970 with the advent of Monday Night Football, and for the past 12 years he has been one of the most controversial figures in sports. Cosell's opinion has brought him to the depths of unpopularity. Yet through it all, Cosell has established a code of excellence that may never be paralleled. Gregory Aiello, the assistant director of public relations for the Dallas Cowboys, speaks for the en- tire organization when he says, "We like Howard very much, he does an excellent job." On the other side of the coin is an organization like the New York Giants. The Giants have been a poor team for the past 17 years, and have met harsh criticism from Cosell over the years. George Young, general-manager of the Giants makes his feelings clear when he says, "I respect Howard for what he is ... a showman. But as far as football is concerned, he is certainly no expert." Thousands of fans share Young's sentiments. Since Howard has never played the game, the fans claim, he should keep his opinions on player performance to himself. It is true that Cosell was never a professional athlete. But after having covered and studied these sports for over 25 years, Cosell is certainly very knowledgable. Boxing's his forte Where in recent years Cosell has been criticized for his football coverage, he has gained immeasurable respect in the sport of boxing. He has been successful in part because of his relationship with Muhammad Ali. Cosell and Ali hit the national spotlight together, as Cosell extolled All's tremendous boxing skills. Yet the Cosell-Ali relationship is a perfect example of Cosell's professionalism and objectivity. Cosell has remained an Ali fan, while criticizing the former heavyweight champ for his repeated comeback at- tempts. Of greater significance is the fact that Cosell was the first person in journalism to recognize Ali's change of name from Cassius Clay, and religion from Christianity to Islam. Another classic Cosell relationship is the one he has established with Sugar Ray Leonard. Cosell covered Leonard at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and has been the expert commentator for several of Leonard's fights. No one understands the success and charisma of Leonard better than Cosell, as he was the first person to recognize Leonard's electric per- sonality back in 1976. Two aspects of the Cosell style that bring constant complaint are his usage of vocabulary, and his con- troversial, outspoken opinions. For years it has been said that Cosell talks down to people and uses pom- pous, "big" words. This complaint is simply getting boring. Cosell has his own, distinct style, and it is a pleasure to listen to him speak, compared to an uneducated ex-jock who has a poor understanding of the English language. Likewise, Cosell should be applauded for confron- ting the issues. George Young believes that in many ways Cosell has been unfair to the Giant management. While Young has a brilliant football mind, and is in the process of rebuilding the Giants, he cannot blame Cosell for pointing out certain deficiencies in the organization. In this regard, Cosell is representing the Giant fan who hasn't seen a decent team in almost two decades. Monday night Cosell tune-out A recent fad, adhered to by few, consists of tuning out Cosell. The indignant fan turns on ABC but listens to the radio, thus sparing himself from listening to Cosell. Tuning out Cosell has not, however, proven to be a widespread phenomenon. As recent Nielson ratings point out, ABC and Cosell won a 21.4 rating, compared to the local New York station (WPIX) with only a 9.4 rating, during their respective broadcasts of the fifth and deciding game of the New York Yankee-Milwaukee Brewer playoff series. Apparen- tly, the Yankee fans prefer listening to Cosell. It is important to note hege that NBC, in its covering the Philadelphia Phillie-Montreal Expo series lost to the local Philadelphia station (WPHL), 19.6 to 11.9. Cosell's presence in the ABC booth is obviously a boost to the ratings. Beano Cook's statement continues to ring true, as Cosell is firmly established as one of the biggest draws on the special awards dinner circuit. Cosell can name his price, and not even come close to accep- ting all the invitations to speak that he annually receives. Cosell has also received numerous awards for his journalistic excellence. He is recognized by his peers as the best at what he does. And recognizing Cosell's function is crucial. On Monday Night Football, Cosell is not used as an ex- pert. The football experts are Frank Gifford, Don Meredith and Fran Tarkenton. Cosell is used for "player insights." He interviews players, and con- veys their attitudes to the audience. Cosell's superior "player insights" are not only a brilliant innovation, but make the telecast different and highly marketable. What Cosell does is add an extra dimension to his broadcasts. His insights, questions and opinions are intelligent. He challenges the fan to think and react. Cosell will not be fully appreciated until his complete retirement. He will not be recognized as the master that he is, and his professionalism will continue to be criticized. What the fan should do next Monday night is not complain, but listen,,sit back, and enjoy the game. Sex a major theme in naming IM teams Information and applications for National SPORTS OF THE DAILY: Donakowski advances By SARAH SHERBER Except for Gerard Donakowski, the only Wolverine harrier to qualify for the NCAA national meet, the 1981 Michigan cross-country campaign is over. The Wolverines' eighth-place finish last weekend at the NCAA District IV championship in Milwaukee was not enough to advance them to the national meet at Wichita, Kansas next Monday. Only the top three teams - division chamnp Wisconsin, runner-up Min- nesota, and third-place Illinois - qualified for the Wichita race. DONAKOWSKI'S fifth-place overall finish (30.29) enables him to compete in the NCAA meet as an individual qualifier. "To be in the top 25 for nationals is our primary goal," explained coach Ron Warhurst, noting that if Donakowski were to finish that high he would cap- ture All-American honors. Following Donakowski for Michigan were Jim Schmidt, who placed 37th last weekend with a time of 31:20, Bill Brady (46th) who completed the 10,000 meter course in 31:36. O'REILLY, WHO was expected to be one of the Wolverines' strongest run- ners (along with Donakowski) finished at a disappointing 51st spot at 31:43, while Steve Brandt crossed the tape .01 seconds later to capture the 53rd place. This meet marked the last race Brandt will run in at Michigan since he is graduating this spring. Brandt is the only harrier on the traveling squad who will not be returning next year. Despite its failure to qualify for the national meet, Warhurst was not disap- pointed with his team. "Everyone ran about how I expected them to - except Donakowski who ran a really great race," said Warhurst. "It would have been extremely dif- ficult to have qualified. Everyone (who scored) would have had to move up 15 positins, except Donakowski." Tumblers take tourney Behind the all-around championship performance of Wolverine Milan Stanovich, the Michigan men's gym- nastics team captured the Bronco All- American Classic title at Western Michigan University last Friday. Michigan tallied 158.35 to outpoint T:4- CS Illinois State and Southern Illinois, wh- o totalled the 153.3 and 150.9, respec- tively. Michigan State, the only other Big Ten school at the meet, finished fif- th in the six team match. EN ROUTE to winning the all- around title with 52.9 points (in six events), Stanovich took first place in the pommel horse (8.55) and came in second in vaulting (8.55). Team mem- bers Al Berger and Kevin McKee also garnered firsts for the Wolverines, as Berger swung to a 9.3 score on the rings and McKee took the floor exercise, also with a 9.3. "It was a great team effort," said coach Newt Loken of the victory. "In each event, at least three guys (three gymnasts place in each event) really fired up and gave us those valuable team points." Merrick Horn, who finished sixth overall and third on the floor exercise, and Dino Manus, second on the parallel bars, rounded out the five man all- around team. The Wolverines will face a bigger challenge next week at the Buckeye In- vitational in Columbus. Looking back, Loken said, "It (the win at Western) gave the all-arounders confidence of hitting their sets against formidable opponents." -JESSE BARKIN By RANDY BERGER "Come on Futhermuckers! Let's go 'Nads!" Do these cheers seem off the wall? or just down right disgusting? Well, if you ever walk by Mitchell Field while an in- tramural football game was going on these yells of encouragement would not seem so strange. When it comes to naming intramural 'sports teams Michigan students are original, funny and often times somewhat perverted. BY JUST SKIMMING over the list of names one can see that sex palys a big part in student's minds. Names such as Deep Cleats, whichrefers to the movie "Deep Throat", and the Fred Shackers, which according to team member Mike Cosenza is appropriate for an all male dorm since "shacking up is the only thing on their minds," are just a few. Other sexually oriented names tend to be four-letter words from other languages such as the Baise Toi, the Hensdale Yentzers, and the Little Sch- mucks. Another name which at first glance seems innocent but, when taken a closer look at becomes raunchy is Fubars. "It stands for F---ed Up Beyond All Relief, Recognition, Reality, or whatever," said Mark Fischer, a member of several Fubars teams."The 'R' can stand for whatever you want it to." Team names also often originate from other people or objects. "Disturbed Furniture," "Intoxicated Eight," and "The Dregs" are all named after musical bands. "Funky Grovites", is so named because three of its players come from Groves High School in Detroit. Others include the "Spud Boys," which comes from a Devo song, "Tuff Puff," the name used for a women's team because women's football in high school is called "Powderpuff Football", "Bush Bun- nies", a women's team from Bush Hall in South Quad, and "Spoon River", which to most people is a title of a book by Edgar Lee Master, but according to Andrew Rudy is used for his team because "the book has a collection of characters that fit the personalitites of the players." OTHER TEAMS pick their names af- ter people, some famous and some not so famous. The "Big Dogs" are named after Michigan's basketball star Thad Garner while "the Zukowski's" are named after an athletic director in Elliott House. Although Zukowski is not as famous as Garner, "the name fits the type of team we have ; lousy", contends team member Jim Dworman. However, the team names from the Graduate and Faculty league probably have to rank as the most unique. These are names in which you have to be in a particular Graduate school of Faculty Department to know the meaning of it. One would have to be a medical student to know that "9-0 Silk" is named after a very fine surgical silk or that "Trichobe oar" is the name used to describe when swallowed hair accumulates in the stomach. Although the level of play of in- tramural sports teams may not quite be Big Ten material, some of the names are undoubtedly more fearful.
