4 Page 10-Saturday, February 13, 1982-The Michigan Doily 'Cats eager for rematch By RON POLLACK Special to the Daily EVANSTON - Tonight's Michigan- Northwestern basketball game marks the first time this season that the Wolverines will face a squad that they have beaten earlier ,in the year. Michigan defeated the Wildcats, 66-63, three games ago, and don't think that Northwestern has forgotten the loss. "We'll be ready for them," promised Wildcat forward Jim Stack. "EVEN THOUGH we lost that game," said Northwestern head coach Rich Falk, "we felt we could have won, and that's one of the best motivators you can have. "We feel if we just play our game and play well in the three most important phases of the game - offense, defense and rebounding - that this (Michigan) is a team we can and should beat," he continued. Falk added that Michigan should en- ter the Northwestern contest with just as much confidence as his squad. "Michigan is going to come in here fired-up and, having beaten us there, I know they feel they can come in here and win." IF. THE WILDCATS are to win, they feel that they must turn in a better rebounding performance than in the first game against Michigan when the Wolverines grabbed six more boards than did Northwestern. "They played really well in the game against us," said Stack. "We didn't an- ticipate them being so hard-nosed. We have to do a better job on the boards. We better be more aggressive, or the same thing will happen. We thought they had a small front line with only Thad Garner being a threat. But Ike Person did a real good job against us. done," said Falk. "He's not playing like a freshman at all. He's playing like a veteran in a lot of ways." "I knew I had the talent to play as a freshman," said Goode. "I just had to make up my mind to play up to my potential." One aspect of Goode's game that he has certainly played up to his potential in THE LINEUPS MICHIGAN (4-15) NORTHWESTERN (7-13) western's leading shot blocker. "He's t an outstanding athlete and that is what it takes to block shots the way he does." Joining Goode on the Northwestern front-line are 6-9 center Bob Grady and 6-8 forward Jim Stack, with the latter being one of the best all-around players in the conference. "Some players excel in one or two areas, but I feel good about the fact that I can do well in all of them," said Stack. "If I had to pick out my best attributes though, it would be that I feel that I'm a good shooter and passer. Those are my two strongest points. I also think I handle the ball well for my size, especially against the press." STARTING IN the backcourt for the 4 Wildcats are juniors Gaddis Rathel and Michael Jenkins. Rathel is averaging 10.9 points per game, placing him second on the Northwestern scoring list this year behind Stack's 14.4 average. Jenkins, meanwhile, is a fine passer. Yet it is not this tandem's ability to score or dish out assists that concerns Falk. Instead, he worries about whether they can contain Michigan's Eric Turner. "Eric Turner is one of the top fresh- man in the Big Ten, and if he has a good game, we'll have a tough time," said "' Falk.

Goode has played well this season, despite the fact that he is a freshman. "RIGHT NOW he is getting the job is shot blocking. This was evident in the first half of the Wildcat's January 28 game against Minnesota, when Goode rejected a shot by 7-3 Gopher center Randy Breuer.

Just ask Northwestern forward Jim Stack. At St. Laurence High School in Illinois, Stack teamed up with current Iowa swingman Kevin Boyle. The Hawkeyes went to the NCAA tournament last season, and Boyle earned first-team All-Big Ten honors. Stack, meanwhile, had to settle for All-Big Ten honorable mention acclaim, as the Wildcats finished the year at 9-18. "I ALWAYS look at how well Kevin is doing, and I know that winning hasn't hurt him in achieving first team All-Big Ten," said Stack, who will lead 7-13 Nor- thwestern against Michigan tonight. "Not winning much probably hurts me. I know that I can play with players like Kevin. He can do a lot of things well, but I think I can also. "You always think that it's nice to win and be on a winner," he continued. "When that happens, people recognize your talent more. Maybe I'd have gotten more recognition if I were on a winner." It's not as though Stack didn't have the opportunity to be a member of a team that is a "winner." During his senior year in high school, he made official recruiting visits to Indiana and Purdue, in addition to Northwestern. Furthermore, he was contacted by most of the other schools in the Big Ten. But instead of opting for a contender, he chose to play in a program that had not had a winning campaign since the 1968-69 season. "I WANTED to be part of a program which I thought could be turned around," said Stack. "(Head coach) Rich Falk really impressed me with his en- thusiasm for getting the program turned around." And should the Wildcats' fortunes turn for the bet- ter, Stack believes the accolades will come his way. "The recognition of helping to turn around a program is great, and I still think we can turn .the program around," said the 6-8 cager. "That's what I hoped to achieve when I came to Northwestern, and our chances of doing that in the future are real high." ALTHOUGH Stack has not received the recognition of his high school teanmate Boyle, opposing coaches still take note of his abilities with high regard. "I think he's outstanding," said Michigan head coach Bill Frieder. "He's one of the great shooters in the league. He'll be an All-Conference first or second team player this year." Should Frieder's All-Conference prophecy prove to be true, Stack will finally know what it's like to be on a college team with enough talent to win on a regular basis. And who knows, he might even be reunited with Boyle on such a squad. Stark seeks recognition . x:\ rl: i ; .v nI' b .. . .. . ,.0. :F £ . 4 .., .. A ,...nOWN fi . .4a 'fi ..,..,s ._.:d.. ..

The Wolverines peaked at the right time, because, while they were scoring to new heights, top-seeded Michigan State. and second-ranked Ohio State also eclipsed previous highs by scoring 140.13 and 140.05, respectively. MICHIGAN co-captain Cindy Shearon was overwhelmed with the victory. "I think it's the greatest," the senior specialist said. "The whole team, was together. What a way to graduatel" "They said they wanted to be Big Ten champs," Wolverine coach Sheri Hyatt said, "and they went out and did it. Everybody pulled through and it was exactly what we needed." Leading the way for the Wolverines were Kathy Beckwith, Dayna Samuelson, and Nancy Papows. Beck- wwith scored a team-high 35.2 and placed fourth in the all-around, but for her, it was an off meet. "I JUST HAD a rough day," Beck- with admitted, "It was at a bad time. I had three exams this week and there was a lot of pressure." Despite the pressure, Beckwith still managed to win the vault with a 9.05 and take second on the balance beam with a 9.15, which qualified her for today's individual competition on those events. The top eight on each event will compete today. But Samuelson, Papows, and the rest of the team more than made up for Beckwith's "off" day. SAMUELSON scored a 35.05, her best ever, including a 9.0 on vault and an 8.9 on floor exercise. Her vault score placed her in second place in the meet and qualified her for today's com- petition. Papows had a very consistent meet tallying 34.85 in the all-around as .85 seemed to be her lucky number last night. She scored 8.85s on vault, uneven bars and floor exercise. Freshman Christy Schwartz made it four out of four Michigan all-arounders to break the 34.00 barrier with a 34.45 mark. She was especially good on the uneven bars as she qualified for in- dividuals with a third place tying score of 8.95. Specialist Angela Deaver qualified on the balance beam with an 8.70. Going into the last event the uneven bars, the Wolverines had a lead of 105.6- 104.75 over second-place Minnesota and 104.7 for Michigan State, and the Wolverines came through with a welcomed 35.35 to hold on for the cham- pionship. "We worked for this," said Shearon, "We knew we could do it. Next - regionals."
