4 SPORTS ...... .. ........... . ... The Michigan Daily Thursday, January 21 1982 Page a 0 Blue c $y RON POLLACK Just a few words of advice to those fans planning on attending tonight's Michigan-Michigan State basketball game. Bring along a stopwatch and don't bat an eyelash-for if you do, you're likely to miss a play. There'll be that much speed on the court. Flying up and down court for the Spartans (6-8, 1-3 in Big Ten play) will be the explosive backcourt taidem of senior Keyin Smith (15.3 points per game) and freshman Sam Vincent (10.5 ppg). "THEY HAVE great quickness and speed," said Michigan head coach Bill Frieder, whose team owns a 1-11 mark. agers "We've just got to try to prevent it fr being a problem." Add Michigan po guard Eric Turner's quickness to t game, and you have the makings o track meet. In fact, Frieder probably wouldn't at all upset if Smith (64 assists for season) were to compete in a tr< meet rather than show up at Cris Arena.

Heathcote and Frieder both point this out, but the Michigan coach says thata victory over Michigan State will be no more gratifying than a win over any other Big Ten team. "A win is a win, a loss is a loss," said Frieder. "I just want to win a game. I don't care who it's against." Noting Michigan's nine-game losing streak, Frieder said, "It's hard for Michigan State to brag if they beat us, because everybody has beaten us.

Spartaw speedster INJURIES CAN'T S TOP BIG TEN CHAMP: Cahill at home in water -By JAMES THOMPSON It was a diving extravaganza. The Michigan's mens and womens:div- ing squads swept the competition ver- sus EMU last night at Matt Mann pool. With the squads from both schools having each diver do a total of eleven dives, from both the one- and three- meter boards, the match seemed en- dless. But finally the individual scores for the men on both the one-and three- meter boards put Ron Merriott on top as.the winner. Merriott, a nationally-ranked diver, has led the team in the last two years and is likely to do the same this season. THE MICHIGAN women did likewise to their competition. Wolverine Diane Dudeck captured first on the three- meter board while accepting second on the one-meter. The top scorer inr the one-meter event was Vicki Kimball, who followed in second on the three- meter board. Both girls qualified for the zone qualifiers as did Liz Wright who took third place in both events. The reason for holding such a meet Kimball said was to "get ready.for the zone qualifiers where each diver does eleven dives on each board, whereas in. regular dual meets each diver does nly six dives." By KARL WHEATLEY Michigan swimmer Sue Cahill has had a few problems with moving around on land. ' Shi once broke her leg by putting her foot in a hole as she ran down a hill, and she broke her foot with a fall off the winner's platform after she won the 1981 Big Ten 400-yard individual medley crown. But when she takes to the water, she moves just fine, and usually moves faster than her opponen- ts t BESIDES HER performance in the 400-yard IM last year, Cahill also placed high in the Big Ten final stan- dings in thq 500- and 1650-yard freestyle events, as well as the 200-yardl breast- 'stroke and 200-yard butterfly events: She also swam on the fourth-place 800- yard freestyle relay team. If Cahill is happy with her perfor- mance last, year, she is certainly, keeping it a secret. "I wasn't really dedicated last year, and it was really hard on me because I pride myself on 'improving constantly, gnd I wasn't," said Cahill. "But over swim camp (held a month ago), all we did was swim and sleep so I was able to concentrate on swimming. I think that helped me a lot." MICHIGAN COACH Stu Isaac seems to agree that there are even better per- formances ahead for Cahill. "She really didn't have- that good a fall," said Isaac of her early season UNISEX Long or Short Haircuts by Professionals at ... DASCOLA STYLISTS Liberty off State .......

"But she had a really good training camp, and she's really been doing well this month. I look for' her to have a really good Big Ten-bet- ter than last year." Four first-place finishes for Cahill in this past weekend's 89-60 victory over reasons. "We got Tootsie Rolls whenever we improved, and I saw some trophies and thought that I would like to win some of those for myself," explained Cahill. BUT IT SEEMS clear that she has generated her own reasons for swim- ming. "I'm very goal-oriented," said Cahill. "There is still a lot left for me to ac- complish in swimming. And I do not want to ever see anyone beat my times." The talkative and amusing Cahill is also a bit hard-headed at times. - "SHE'S STRONG-willed and can be stubborn," admits Isaac. "And sometimes that can work against her, but lately she has been using it to her advantage. She has contributed a lot in terms of leadership this year, and I think that has really helped her swim- ming." While she had decided that her academic goals lie in the direction of film-video communications, she does enjoy spending free time writing poetry. Cahill's rugged swimming schedule makes it tough 'to live the life of an average student, but she admits that "social life gets in there somehow." This determined swimmer knows what she wants from the upcoming Big Ten championships. "I want to win the 400-yard IM again, and go 1-2 with Denise Stuntzner in the 200-yard fly," said the sophomore standout. "I think I'm in better shape than last year. I hope to give a good race to whomever Indiana puts'nn the 500- and 1650-yard freestyle." With her strong will working for her, she will probably give a good race to anyone she wants. Dudek .w.. Wis three meter event Miehigan grapple rs ~~~ topC U 251 By DAN NEWMAN The Michigan wrestling team upped its record to 6-2 last night as it came from behind to defeat Cleveland State, 25-15, at Crisler Arena. The grapplers trailed 15-13, before 190-pound Pat McKay (4 wins, one loss, one tie for the season) pinned junior Vince Sakas in the third period. Momen- ts later, heavyweight Eric Klasson repeated McKay's feat only two minutes into his match with Mark Sanders to secure the Wolverines' victory. "WE KNEW THEY were tough in the middleweight classes," said coach Dale Bahr about their opponents who had beaten the Wolverines last year. "It's nice to be on the winning side of close matches." Sophomore sensation Joe McFarland started Michigan on the right track as he upped his season record to 9-2-2 while whipping freshman John Velimesis, 25-7. Cleveland State head Coach Dick Bonacci had, only words of praise for the 118-pound All-American. "Joe is one of my favorites. He is one of the best, if not the best, wrestler in his class," said Bonacci, who noted that he knew of McFarland's brilliance' in high school and had almost succeeded in recruiting him. "Joe is looking real tough," said Bahr. "He's considered to be the best "East of the Mississippi." In the 126-pound division, junior Larry Haughn outscored another fresh- man, Jerry Urry, 5-0. Cleveland State's junior transfer Kerry Welling defeated sophomore Bill Goodill at the 134-pound division by a score of 6-2. That cut Michigan's margin to five points, 8-3. AFTER LOU Milaii and-Don Foldesy fought to a draw (11-11), Cleveland State sophomore Randy Cole scored a 3-2 decision over junior John Beljan at the 150-pound level. "John's a streak wrestler who is either hot or cold," assessed Bahr. "Tonight he just made too many mistakes." Bahr was very happy over Nemir Nadhir's performance at the 158-pound division. Nadhir lifted his season record to 17-4 as he outscored Phil Kennedy 10-4. "Phil moved a lot but Nemir didn't lose his cool," said'Bahr, adding that Nadhir has become much more consistent. In other matches, freshman Scott Rechsteiner, whom Bahr said has been having "confidence problems," dropped a 13-4 decision to Mark Johnson. In the 177-pound class, Cleveland State's Mark Litts scored a 7-3 decision over freshman Richard Zboray. That put Cleveland temporarily ahead in the match, 15-13. q .t 4- Cahill . ... coming on strong Ohio State prove that Cahill is coming on strong. She captured individual fir- sts in the 500- and 1650-yard freestyle events, as well as the 200-yard butter- fly, and swam on the first-place 800- yard freestyle team. FIRST PLACE also belongs to Cahill in three categories in women's swim- ming. Her time of 17:12:82 in winning the 1650-yard freestyle this past weekend is a new pool record. And she also holds the women's varsity records in the 1000- and 1650-yard freestyle events. Such impressive feats come from Cahill although she started swimming 'at the relatively late age of 11. She got, into swimming partly through the in- fluence of three older brothers who were swimmers, but there were other FOLLOWING him in the three-meter competition were Wolverines Jon Beach, Mark McMann, and Kent Ferguson respectively. Ending up with the lowest scores for EMU were Paul Watson and Kevin Deroos, respec- tively. ' In the one-meter event, Ferguson, Beach, and McMann followed Merriott in that same order. The Huron par- ticipants ended up in identical positions to those of the previous event. "We did what we wanted to do," said Wolverinediving coach Dick Kimball. "We wanted to get the scores so we could qualify for the NCAA and AIAW zone qualifiers". 0 IM Scores Student Announcement Professional Resume Package Visit Our Resume Booth Main Lobby Michigan Union MONDAY Basketball Independent Big Dogs 58, Heidelbergers 31 Powerhouse '81 45, Shockers 43 Raging Phlegman 39, The D Connection 36 Beaver Patrol 48, Rage in the Cage 23 Fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon 51, Chi Psi 20 Chi Phi 34, Phi Beta Sigma 32 Phi Delta Theta 'W 27, Theta Chi 'B' 11 sigma Phi Epsilon 'B' 43, Chi Phi'B' 23 All Campus Loose Ball Fowls 33, Alpha Epsilon Phi 15 Slade Brothers 35, Stately Wayne Manor 32 Residence Hails Van Tyne 32, Mutiny 23 Schemps 31, Michigan House 'A' 26 Gomberg 'A' 45, Solidarity 26 Blagdon 'A' 42, MoJo Raiders 20 ILI "DDF0 ,,gi gflFUJ Change Your Evening Routine.
