Page 10-Friday, January 15, 1982-The Michigan Daily Sy nchro swim team hosts tourney Lindeman ... leads synchro swimmers By MATT HENEHAN and LAURA CLARK In the midst of one of the season's most brutal cold spells, most students find it necessary to bundle up in heavy sweaters and coats. But one group of 16 girls will be donning its swimming suits this weekend-the women's syn- chronized swimming team, which opens its season at 1 p.m. Saturday in a figure invitational at Margaret Bell Pool. Coach Joyce Lindeman, who has coached the team since 1973, will be taking her 1982 team to the invitational that will include approximately 45 competitors from Ohio State and Illinois. The invitational is a "figures" competition which differs from most other regular season meets because the swimmers are judged only by the per- formance of a series of specific figures without the musical accompaniment or other creative touches by the swimmer that make up a typical routine. Satur- day's competition is a warm-up for the Wolverines' coming season. In the wor- ds of Lindeman this type of invitational is "a good way to get started." THE WOLVERINE team taking the pool Saturday is young; underclassmen outnumber upperclassmen 10 to six. The team is comprised of six freshmen, three sophomores, six juniors and one senior. The untested younger swim- mers will need to be balanced by the experience of such seasoned com- petitors as juniors Betsy Neira and Cathy O'Brien, who make up the squad's number-one duet team. Neira and O'Brien have been competing together as a duet since their freshman year. They earned an eighth-place finish in the National Team finals held last November in Colorado Springs. Erin O'Shaughnessy and Linda Pritz are the team's second duet, and although lacking the experience of their older counterparts, are as Lindeman puts it, "Right on Cathy and Betsy's heels." The top Wolverine trio will con- sist of O'Brien, Neira and O'Shaughnessy. The swimmer with the biggest shoes to fill this season is sophomore soloist Mary Beth Crumrine. Crumrine, who swam in the top trio competition last year, will be taking over the solo spot vacated by the graduation of two-time national team member Ruth Pickett. ONE ADVANTAGE for the team this year, according to Lindeman, is the in- stallation of a new type of scoring method introduced by the inter- collegiate synchronized Rules Commit- tee of which she is a member. Starting this season a team's scores for the solo, duet, trio and team event will be added up and averaged within each division- senior, junior and novice-then ranked accordingly rather than allotting a given number of points to the top seven finishers in each event. According to Lindeman the new rule provides "a chance for a smaller school without the 'big guns' to score points and get publicity." Lindeman describes a "very suc- cessful" season as one in which the' team competes in the national cham- pionships and places in the top three teams in the country. Last year's Wolverines ' took third place in the AIAW National meet behind Ohio State University and the University of Arizona, which won the contest. Beyond rankings and point totals Lindeman feels individual excellence combined with the ability to work together toward the same goals will be the key to a suc- cessful season. ...................n:......................a,........." .. v...................:........... v......... nv. ::::: v...v...4:v::. h", } :.'J......". :'vv. nv, ... ...n. m..hv'{"..v:.. .4v. :" v"{ "..,.

By GREG DEGULIS Special to the Daily PONTIAC- A 70-year-old trick shot artist displaying a complete repetoire of three foot underhand shots at halftime received more applause than the Detroit Pistons, as Washington easity defeated them, 121-114, last night at the Silverdome. A sparse crowd of 4,186 ventured out on a snowy evening to watch Bullets rookie Jeff Ruland dominate the inside game and lead Washington to its 16th victory against 19 defeats. The Pistons, currently in fifth place in the Central Division, fell to 15-22. RULAND, A bulk of a rookie at 6-11, 240 pounds, got inside on several Pistons, including Edgar Jones, Kent Benson and Terry Tyler, enroute to 24 points and 15 rebounds. "The weakness in this team shows vividly against clubs like Washington and Boston," Pistons' coach Scotty Rober- tson said. "The teams with big people inside hurt us. (We) don't have the people to play them and we tried every com- bination," Robertson continued. In the Washington lockerroom the rookie gave his side of the story. "If I get good position they usually get the ball to' me down low and it is no problem to score." Although Robertson was unable to stop the strong rookie with the present crew of Pistons, the coach was looking to the future. "Our number one priority in the draft is a big guy who can play defense. If we can get two, we'll get two," he ex- plained. THE PISTON defeat overshadowed another fine perfor- mance by Kelly Tripucka. The hustling rookie from Notre Dame, in 45 minutes of action, nailed 13 of 25 from' the field, seven of eight from the free throw line and grabbed nine rebounds, for a total of 33 points. "We can't lose to teams like that," said Tripucka. "Those are the teams we're supposed to beat if we're going to go anywhere." Isiah Thomas, subdued even after hearing that Indiana had just whipped Michigan, 81-51, finished with 18 points, 12 assists and seven turnovers. "We need to become more con- sistent," the 20-year-old point guard understated. Veteran guard Kevin Grevey scored 22 and former Oregon Duck Greg Ballard had 24 for the winners. 4 Donce Theatre Studio 711 N.

OTTAWA (AP) - The Colorado Rockies moved closer to Canada's capital city yesterday after the head of the National Hockey League's expan- sion committee gave a tentative OK to, moving the franchise to the Ottaw i area. Nepean, a city of 80,000 on the south- west border of Ottawa, has offered to expand the 2,400 seat portion of its $5- million sports center to the 15,000-seat minimum demanded by the NHL before a franchise transfer would be con- sidered. "I might be going out on a limb, but, there is a 'good possibility we might have a hockey club in the nation's cap- ital this season," Franklin said. . Gilbert said he would keep the Rockies in Denver at least until the end of the current season. But Franklin ad- ded that he believed there was a better- than-even chance x the struggling Colorado franchise will be shifted here. U. .

Texas A&M interim Athletic Director Wally Groff denied that Schembechler was in line for the coaching spot, however. "WE'VE ALREADY got a coach (Tom Wilson) and he's contracted for one more year," said Groff. "The only opening we have right now, is the AD position." The report of the Aggies' offer had circulated all over Michigan and Texas yesterday, breeding speculation that Schembechler may abandon his title as the dean of Big Ten coaches. "There was an offer, and he is seriously considering it," said Detroit's WDIV-TV sportscaster Jim Brandstatter. "HE WILL receive a multi-million dollar deal to become the coach and athletic director at Texas A&M . . . there is a 50-50 chance that he will leave," said Brandstatter's colleague at WDIV-Detroit, Al Ackerman. "I knew of the offer around noon today," said Groff, A&M's interim athletic director. "It's up to the Search Committee on the Board of Regents (at Texas AM, and Mr. Bright runs that." Early yesterday evening, Bright said he was not sure of Schembechler's sen- timents about coming down to the Lone Star State. "WHEN HE ELECTS to give it (his decision) to us, he will," Bright stated. The Houston Post also reported that Schembechler would meet with University President Harold Shapiro early this morning to discuss the offer and described the meeting as the lone stumbling block in Schembechler ac- cepting any of the Texas A & M job. Shapiro refused to comment late last night. SCHEMBECHLER'S present salary is listed at $60,030, thus making the 'Texas A&M offer a pretty sweet deal. But Canham has gone on recur in the past as saying he will do anything he can to keep Bo in Ann Arbor. Canham plucked Schembechler from Miami of Ohio in 1969 to take over a Wolverine team that, be ore'Schem bechler'9 arrival, had only participated in four bowl games: During his 13 years at Michigan, Schembechler has com- piled a 123-24-3 mark, highlighted by nine bowl appearances. His Wolverine :squads have ac- cumulated nine Big Ten champion' ships, two of them, one in 1971 and the other in 1980, outright titles. t* HELPI HELP: HELP; HELPI HELP!
