a Page 10-Tuesday, March 2, 1982-The Michigan Daily Big Ten Ci amp ionships Grappler Klasson takes title Tankers settle for second best By KARL WHEATLEY For the first time this season, the Michigan women's swim team didn't come in first. The Big Ten women's swimming championships this past weekend ended with Ohio State the winners with 863.0 points, Michigan second at 677.0, Indiana third (486.0), and Wisconsin fourth with'452.5 points. "I'm not disappointed," said Wolverine head coach Stu Isaac. "We pretty much got the scores we wanted. We knew they (Ohio State) would be good, but to beat us, they had to swim out of their heads." FRESHMAN TAMI Paumier led the way by sweeping the breaststroke events en route to four Michigan varsity records and two Big Ten records. Paumier won the 50-yard breaststroke at 30.23 (the fifth-best time nationally this year), the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:05.36 (a Big Ten record and sixth-best time nationally), and the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:18.03 (e Big Ten record and second-best time nationally). The best time in the country this year in the 400-yard in- dividual medley was set by defending champion Sue Cahill at 4:20.87, thus shaving almost six seconds off the existing Big Ten record. Cahill also took second in the 200-yard in- dividual medley (2:06.23, ninth-best nationally), and the 500-yard freestyle at 4:51.66 (seventh-best nationally). Senior tanker Melinda Copp won the 200-yard individual medley in 2:05.77 (a varsity and Big Ten record and sixth- best time nationally), and the 200-yard backstroke at 2:05.40 (a varsity record and ninth-best time nationally). Copp took second in the 100-yard backstroke at 58.52. Also winning for the Wolverines was the 400-yard medley relay team of Copp, Paumier, Chris Hodson, and Cahill with a Big Ten record time of 3:54.71. The Michigan tankers now move on to the AIAW nationals, March 17-20, where Isaac feels they can finish as By DAN NEWMAN "I just tried to dominate him and be physically aggressive," said heavyweight Eric Klasson, who scored a decisive 11-7 victory over Iowa's Lou Banach and was named the "Most Valuable Wrestler" at the 68th annual Big Ten Wrestling Championships held at Crisler over the weekend. Banach, last year's heavyweight champion, had scored a major decision (16-6) over Klasson two weeks earlier. But Sunday the Michigan senior was better rested and prepared for the rematch. "WHEN WE MET Iowa before, we were in the peak of our second season and so we were somewhat worn down," explained Klasson, who said he had "tapered off" the last two weeks. "It also helped to be in front of the home crowd." Despite Klasson's victory, Iowa managed to win a record seven individual championships while also qualifying all of its wrestlers for the NCAA Championships scheduled for March 11-13. The Hawkeyes notched a whopping 1301/4 points en route to its ninth consecutive Big Ten Championship. Minnesota finished a distant second (.493/4), followed by Wisconsin (44 ), Michigan State (40/4), and Michigan 381/2). THE TWO OTHER Wolverine grapplers to advance to the finals were defeated by Hawkeye veteran champions. Barry Davis whipped Joe McFarland, 6-4, in the 118-pound championship and Pete Bush decisioned Pat McKay, 6-3, for the 190-pound division crown. Iowa's Ed Banach and Lenny Zaleski both won conferen- ce crowns for the third year in a row. Banach decisioned his 177 pound Ohio State opponent, Ed Potokar, 6-3, while Zaleski maintained the 142 pound conference crown by beating Minnesota's Jim Martinez, 10-7. For the second consecutive year McFarland; McKay, and Klasson are the three Wolverines to qualify for the NCAA Championships. 6 6 high as sixth place. ESSONS * VOICE.

LESSONS Turner sparks improving cagers By BOB WOJNOWSKI The Michigan basketball team marked the end of one era and the foreshadowing of another while enter- taining the top three teams in the Big Ten over spring break. The Wolverines hosted Iowa, Min- nesota and Indiana in their final three home games of the year, which also marked the end of senior captain Thad Garner's career in Crisler Arena. AT THE SAME time that Garner was taking his final bows, freshman guard Eric Turner was beginning to earn his, as he averaged 20.7 points a game, shot 60.5 percent from the field and 76.9 per- cent from the line while dishing out a total of 16 assists over the three games. Michigan 68, Iowa 58 The Wolverines played their finest game of the season in blowing out the league-leading Hawkeyes before a crowd of 11,052 which was, by Crisler Arena standards, almost rowdy. Michigan held leads of as many as 10 points in the first half and settled for a 28-20 halftime lead. But Iowa ran off that Michigan would spring an upset in Crisler, was elated that his prediction came true. "I told you we were going to get somebody in here and I meant it," said Frieder.

"They're playing with a lot of heart and desire and Turner has emerged as an outstanding guard," said the Gopher coach. "That's not the same team we beat a month ago."4 Indiana 78, Michigan 70 Almost overshadowing the game on Saturday versus the Hoosiers was the hoopla surrounding Thad Garner's final -game in Crisler Arena. Garner, who was- starting his 84th consecutive game-a Michigan. record-was 'greeted with signs of "When you've said Thad, you've said it all," and the "M Club supports you" banner that is used at Michigan football games. THE GAME itself was an excellent one, as both teams played man-to-man defenses which meant more scoring and more excitement. Most of the first half excitement was generated by the officials, who after making numerous questionable calls, were serenaded with a resounding chorus of boos at the end of a first half which found Michigan ahead, 40-33. The Hoosiers finally grabbed the lead with 7:04 left on a Ted Kitchell three-. point play which put them ahead, 66-64. Guard Tony Brown sank a pair of free throws with 32 seconds remaining which put the game away at 72-68. Kitchell, the Big Ten's leading scorer, led all players with 28 points. Turner led the Wolverines with 18 poin- ts, Garner tallied 15 and Ike Person scored 14 points and snared 12 reboun- ds. Frieder pulled Garner with 11 secon- ds left to allow the Crisler Arena crowd of 13,143, the season's largest, to salute the two-time captain. And Garner, who leaves behind a legacy of hell-bent dives and crowd-pleasing drives, ex- plained what his career meant to him. "I was known here for doing a few dunks but I realize now how much the guys respect me and that's the thing that makes me the happiest," he said. "I hope they'll keep me in mind when they're out there working next year." Fi Center for Russian and East European Studies PRESENTS, DR.
