Frieder about the young star.
"He is just so quick and agile that he
can make things happen in more ways
than just scoring," according to
Frieder.
Thomas' supporting cast is also a solid'
group. Senior Ray Tolbert, 6-9, anchors,
the pivot, while the front line consists of
juniors Ted Kitchel (6-8) and Randy
Wittman (6-6), with 6-1 sophomore Jim
Thomas rounding out the backcourt.
Knight doesn't hesitate to go to the
bench if the situation warrants it. His
three favorite reserves include 6-9
senior Glen Grunwald, 6-10 junior Lan-
don Turner and 6-8 ,sophomore Steve
Bouchie. Wittman is a swingman and*
can be switched to the backcourt if
Knight wishes to have a taller team on
the floor.
AS FAR AS Michigan is concerned, the
(8th-ranked UPI, 9th-ranked AP)
Wolverines will have their same star-
ting line-up. Thad Garner and Mike
McGee at forward, Paul Heuerman in
the middle, and John Johnson and Mar-
ty Bodnar occupy the guard spots.
Freshman Tim McCormick should also
see extensive action tonight on the basis
of his fine performance in the double
overtime victory over Minnesota last
Saturday. With Heuerman benched
early due to fouls, the Clarkston
youngster played for 40 minutes com-
piling 13 points and 7 rebounds.

By CHUCK HARTWIG
Seriousness has set in at Matt Mann Pool as the men's swimming team
prepares for the Big Ten season which gets underway tonight against
Wisconsin.
Coach Bill Farley hopes that his swimmers have acquired a new serious at-
titude towards their workouts and competition as a result of an intense
training session which the team undertook in Puerto Rico over the holidays.
Farley said, "We really got intense in the training down in Puerto Rico.
We're training very well. Farley points to a less than serious training at-
titude last season as the reason for the team's rather disappointing per or-
mance. Farley strongly believes that the team's disciplined attitude will last
and will help the team perform up toits maximum potential during the
season.
One sour note for the team was the announcement of the Big Ten decision
declaring Kevin Machemer inelligible. The problem was one of giving a
scholarship to an athlete who transfers from another school. Big Ten rules
prohibit a transfer student from accepting a scholarship. When Machemer
found out about his mistake, he paid back the scholarship, however, the Big
Ten decided that this act was not enough.
Coach Farley called the decision, "the most disheartening and
discouraging thing that I've seen in college athletics." Farley feels that it is
a crime to eliminate him at this point because he is a senior and this effec-
tively ends his collegiate career.
As for the Big Ten opener tonight, Farley says that he thinks it will be a
much more important meet than everyone thinks it will be. "This meet will
tell us a great deal about our team," he said. The coach feels that it will give
a very good indication of where the team will finish in the conference, and
how well it has a chance of doing in the Big Ten meet.
Farley feels that the team is swimming very well in practice but that this
meet will show how much improvement the team has actually made, and
how much more it is capable of making. Farley says, "In order for us to win
the meet, we're going to have to answer a lot of the questions that we had at
the beginning of the season."
Tonight's meet gets underway at 700 p.m. at Matt Mann Pool.

Hoopsters smolder Golden Flashes, 71-53
By LARRY FREED
A stifling zone defense enabled the
Michigan women's basketball team to
overcome a 15 point first half deficit
enroute to a 71-53 victory over Kent
State at Crisler Arena last night.
"We started in a man-to-man defense
but we switched at the beginning of the
half (to a swarming 2-1-2 defense) and.
that proved effective," commented.
Coach Gloria Soluk.
THE WOLVERINES were down by
as many as 15 points before Soluk im-
plemented 'her defensive strategy

which caused the Golden Flashes to
cdmmit many of their 36 turnovers in a
stretch which cut the lead to four at in-
termission.
Diane Dietz, who once again paced
the Wolverines with 24 points, led the
Michigan attack early in the second
half when the Wolverines outscored
Kent State 30-8 to put the game out of
reach. The win snapped a four game
losing streak for the Wolverines and
also enabled Soluk to go over the .500
mark in her coaching career.
"It takes the team a little while to
warm-up, but after that our defense and
fast break began to click:for us," said
Guard Lori Gnatkowski, who had 10
points and six assists while' quarter-
backing the Wolverine attack.
BONNIE BEACHY, who led the
Golden Flashes with 21, helped Kent
State get out to an early lead. Dietz kept
the Wolverines close despite the team's
34 percent shooting in the opening stanza.
The Wolverines then fashioned their
second half comeback when Brenda
Venhuizen, who scored a season high 12
points, hit three quick baskets which
enabled the Wolverines to jump to a 35-
33 lead with 14:33 left in the game.
Michigan then ran off 14 straight points
to put the game out of reach.
Abby Currier also chipped in 12 points
in the winning effort which pushed the
team's overall mark to 5-8. Guards
Diane Hatch and Gnatkowski stole five
and six passes respectively to lead the
tenacious hoopster defense which
smoldered the Golden Flash attack,

"I think the key of the game was
when Brenda and Patrice came off the
bench. Patrice did a super job and
Brenda provided the senior leadership
we needed,"Soluk said.
The Wolverines hope to keep their
winning ways intact when they play the
