Nadhir's work By DAN NEWMAN For a 158 pounder, Nemir Nadhir is not very big. Nor is he very tall or in- timidating to most opponents. In fact, until this year, Nadhir wasn't even a consistent wrestler. But, and perhaps most importantly, he is a determined competitor whose nine years of diligence finally seems to be paying off. "Nemir is a real hard worker, if not the hardest worker on the team," said Joe McFarland, an All-American at 118-pounds. "He's always trying to im- prove himself and it shows this year because he's beaten a lot of tough kids in his weight class." "PHYSICALLY I'm not as dominant as most people in my weight class," Nadhir noted. "But I'm pretty good on my feet and I-think I make up for it with my quickness." Nadhir finished last season with a 16- 10 overall record. He had improved on that mark this year and, until a recent rib injury sidelined him, Nadhir was boasting a 17-4 mark. "Nemir had become a much more consistent wrestler," commented coach Dale Bahr. NADHIR attributes his success this year to four years of collegeiate ex- perience and a lot of hard work. "I've been around so long," said the senior. "I've got myself set, and since it's my last year I'm going all out." The communications major added that mental preparation and "toughness" have also accounted for this year's success. "I've matured a i c 1 1 i Injury doesn' championsip little more and I try hard to mentally { EVER prepared for every opponent,," way unti Nadhir said.

(AP) - University of Ientucky center Sam Bowie, one of the nation's top college basketball players before a leg fracture sidelined him last summer, said yesterday he would not attempt a comeback this season. "It looks like the season's gotten away from me," the 7-foot-1 junior said. "I don't think there's enough time for me to come back and get into the flow of the game." ALTHOUGH doctors gave him the go- ahead.last month, Bowie said he had regained only "about 75 to 80 percent" of the strength in his left leg and would have been just a "spot player" in Ken- tucky's six remaining regular-season games. "I couldn't have come in and taken somebody's starting position," he said. "It wouldn't have been fair since the other players have carried us this far." Still, he said, "In my heart, I want to play. I sit on the bench and see places where I could help them." Bowie, a native of Lebanon, Pa., averaged 17.4 points and 9.1 rebounds last season. He was All-Southeastern Conference, third team All-America and named to the 1980 U.S. Olympic team. BOWIE NOW will be eligible for a fif- th college season if he spurns the National Basketball Association's 1983 draft: Asked if he intended to turn professional next year, Bowie said, "'It's hard to answer that question. I love it around here and it would take an awful lot of money to take me away from the university."} Bowie said he felt no pressure to turn professional next year "because the money's always going to be there." Coach Joe B. Hall predicted the extra year of eligibility would give Bowie bargaining power with the pros next year. But Hall said he didn't try to talk Bowie into red-shirting. "I wanted it to be Sam's decision," Hall said. Asked if he sought Bowie's promise to play a fifth year, Hall said, "No, ab- solutely not." Hall said he wasn't surprised by Bowie's decision, adding that "it was predictable" after X-rays in early December. Gnatkowski ... 22 points With slightly more than 10 minutes remaining, Michigan went five minutes without scoring, and trailed 72-62. But the Michigan defense shut down the Chippewas for the next five minutes, allowing them one more basket, to take the game, as Harte scored eight of the team's next 12 points. Denise Tower and Tracey Creten scored 21 points each for the Chip- pewas, while Chris Magnant added 19 off the bench. Female boxer's hopes floored MARQUETTE (AP) - A federal judge yesterday refused to order of- ficials of the Lansing Golden Gloves boxing tournament to allow a 19-year- old Ionia County woman to fight. In an eight-page opinion released in Marquette, U.S. Dictrict Judge Wendell Miles dissolved a temporary restraining order issued earlier by Ingham County Circuit Judge Raymond Hotchkiss. HOTCHKISS' order had suspended the flyweight competition in the tour- nament until after Jill Lafler's attor- neys had a chance to argue her case in court. Miles said there are differences bet- ween male and female anatomies and "it is unrealistic to believe that women could enter the sport of boxing and operate under the same rules with no detrimental effects on the safety of the participants." Miss Lafler, of Lake Odessa, is a student at Lansing Community College, where she trains with the men's boxing club. She had hoped to fight Charles Moye of Albion in the flyweight division, which includes fighters up to 106 pounds. She tried to register for the com- petition, which began late last month but was turned down by tournament of- ficials because national Golden Gloves rules do not allow women to box against men in sanctioned bouts.
