SPORTS the Michigan Daily Wednesday, December 3, 1980 Page 7 Michigan whips By DAN NEWMAN Eight players scored in double figures to lead a balanced Wolverine at- tack in a 126-60 romp over Windsor (Ont.) last night in the women's basketball home opener at Crisler Arena. Guard Lori Gratowski, a starting freshman from Carollton, Michigan, led the team in scoring with 16 points and Junior Diane Hatch dished off 11 assists as the Wolverines hit on 60 percent of their shots. "Everybody played very well and contributed," said Coach Gloria Soluk, who is in her fourth season and has compiled a 29-50 record. "I think Patrice (Donovan) stood out (10 points and 8 rebounds) and she's really star- ting to do the job and fit into the team." Early in the game, K.D. Harte, who transferred from Oakland after becoming the team's third all-time scorer in two seasons, stole two con- secutive inbound passes that Michigan converted into quick baskets to put the Wolverines ahead 8-4, a lead that they never relinquished. In the next 18 minutes, Michigan im- plemented an effective full court press 126-60 romp bri women first victE which forced numerous Windsor miscues and helped the Wolverines out- score the Lancers 20-4 to build a 28-8 lead with 12:44 to play in the half. Michigan, coming off two losses in the Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Neb. over Thanksgiving vacation, continued to dominate Windsor throughout the first half in all aspects as they ran up a 71-20 halftime lead. "We know we can score," said Soluk, "but we still have to work on our defen- se because we're changing to a fast break offense this year." The defense was anything but suspect in the first 20 minutes as the Wolverines applied fierce ball-hawking pressure that accounted for Lancers 25 first half turnovers. "Last year we would have had problems with such a team," said Soluk, who added that her team has im- proved tremendously.

'M' HOOPSTERS GO JAYHAWKING Kansas obstacle in Blue path By DREW SHARP When Michigan invades Allen Field House to take on the Kansas Jayhawks tonight, they will be en- tering a palace that is rich with basketball tradition. Not only did all-time NBA scoring leader Wilt Cham- berlain) play there, but the Jayhawks have compiled a total of 1,198 victories, placing them third among all of the colleges in the country, behind Kentucky and North Carolina. Kansas? NOT MANY people associate Kansas with ex- cellence in basketball. One reason could be that the Jayhawks play in the Big Eight Conference, better known for its football prowess. Although they do not receive the vast publicity of the Louisvilles and Notre Dames, the Jayhawks are perennially a highly-rated ball club. One key to their success is the coaching of Ted Owens. Owens, who is entering his 17th year at the helm of the Jayhawks has a long list of accom- plishments to his credit. He has guided Kansas to six Big Eight championships, two appearances in the NCAA semi-finals in the last decade and has compiled an impressive 82% victory record in the confines of Allen Field House. Figures like those are bound to raise the eyebrows of the Wolverines who will be making their first trip over to Lawrence. If that doesn't do it then the presence of Kansas' superstar guard Darnell Valen- tine might. The 6-2 senior, who is a consensus All-American .choice this season, is the catalyst which generates the Jayhawk offense and Owens wouldn't trade him for any other point guard in the country. "I CLEARLY believe that he is the best guard in THE LINEUPS MICHIGAN (40) Mike McGee (6-5) (45) Thad Garner (6-7) (15) Paul Heuerman (6-8) (34) Johnny Johnson (6-4) (30) Mark Bodnar (6-3) KANSAS F (35) David Magley (6-7) F (40) John Crawford (6-7) C (55) Victor Mitchell (6-9) G (34) Tony Guy (6-6) G (14) Dar.Valentine (6-2) in scoring, assists and steals in each of his three seasons. Because of this, he was named to the All-Big Eight first team each of those seasons. This year, he is co-captain of the squad along with guard Tony Guy. Joining Valentine and Guy in the starting five are 6- 9 center Victor - Mitchell, and 6-7 forwards John Crawford and David Magley., LAST SEASON'S 15-14 record was a disappoin- tment for Owens but he is optimistic about the new season. "I think we've made strides to make ourselves a better basketball team from a defensive and reboun- ding standpoint," continued Owens. "We're counting heavily on our veterans and I believe that. each is a better overall basketball player than last year." The Wolverines were given a scare last weekend when they defeated a fired-up Eastern Michigan quintet 74-68. Michigan lost guard Marty Bodnar af- ter just 22 seconds of play with a severely sprained ankle. He will not be making the trek to Kansas. His twin brother, Mark will have to fill the gap left by the absence of the 6-3 senior and the other Bodnar did an admirable job in the game against the Hurons, scoring 17 points. The remainder of Michigan's starting lineup is still intact. Mike McGee and Thad Garner will be at the wing positions, Paul Heuerman will be in the pivot and Johnny Johnson, who led the Wolverines with 18 points Saturday, will occupy the other guard position.

"I believe that Darnell has demonstrated with a number of his performances against very good competition and certainly with his play on the Olympic Team that he can compete with any guard in the country."

The reason for this is that there.is no single quality that can describe what this award stands for. The award's voting criteria borders on the schizophrenic. There are so many different possibilities for the Heisman voters to base their choice on that the award lacks consistency. "I think there's one thing wrong with the Heisman trophy. I don't think anyone knows the guidelines," said Dallas Cowboys player personnel direc- tor Gil Brandt. In theory, the Heisman is supposed to be awarded to the year's best college player in the nation. This proves to be a misconception on a number of counts, the first of which is the fact that the Heisman is given not to the best player in the nation, but instead the best player who happens to be stationed at either the quarterback or running back position. With 43 of the 46 Heisman winners and 77 percent of the top ten vote- ING VIEWS Heisman Trophy.. . ... coveted but cc FINALS PREPARATION WORKSHOP A discussion of time management and relaxation skills geared toward helping students maximize their performance and time wage for final exams.

If ever there was a year for the Heisman voters to dispel the notion that the Heisman is oriented towards the of- fensive backfield this was it, since Pit- tsburgh's dominating defensive end Hugh Green was as deserving of the award as any of the candidates. Green, a four time All-American, recovered four fumbles, broke up seven passes, had 118 tackles and a whopping 17 quar- terback sacks this season. Another fallacy in the "best player in the nation" ideal for the Heisman is the notion that one must be a senior in or- der to qualify for this title. In this year's voting, senior George Rogers won the award while Georgia freshman Herschel Walker finished third. Rogers' margin of victory was a comfortable one, as he had 109 more first and 59 more second place votes than Walker. Yet, when, rushing, receiving and return yards are tabulated, Walker narrowly edges Rogers 1805-1804. In scoring, Walker once again outdueled Rogers 15 touchdowns to 14.
