Sophomore Kathy Beckwith won the individual all-around title with a score of 35.55 and freshmen Christy Schwartz and Dayna Samuelson placed eighth and10th, respectively. MICHIGAN, IN its first year com- peting in the NCAA, went into the meet seeded third and was unranked nationally, but came away with the NCAA bid and a trip to Salt Lake City March 27-28, by scoring a 139.10 to out- point a strong seven-team field which included Chicago Circle (138.45), Louisville (138.10), and Michigan State (137.00). inals;S Coach Sheri Hyatt was surprised wit] the win, especially in defeating 14th ranked Louisville.

Michigan is eligible for both championships as it is undergoing a three-year transfer from the AIAW to the NCAA. "IT'S GOING TO be kind of tough," the third-year coach said. "I can't say that we're totally happy to be seeded first. There's going to be a lot of added pressure. When you're ranked number one coming in, everyone is out to get you." The NCAAs the following week, though, will be an even tougher task for the Wolverines. Many of the teams have been averaging scores in the mid- 140s and Hyatt said Utah recently not- ched a 150 score. Michigan's best this season was its 140.95 to clinch the Big Ten championships last month. "We'll go to nationals,"Hyatt said, "not just to be there . . . but the other teams are just too good." She added that no matter what the showing, the Wolverines will be among the ten best in the nation.

Beckwith led the way with a 9.05 and Schwartz, Big Ten run- ner-up on the bars, added an 8.85. Beckwith was impressed with the win. "It was really exciting," she said. "Our assistant coach (Jim Varilek) said we can win the meet 'if you all hit on the event.' And we did." Previously, the Wolverines made the jump from third to second on the vault, where the team scored a meet best 35.75. Samuelson recorded a 9.1 to place second in the event. Sophomore Nancy Papows added an 8.95 while Beckwith scored an 8.90. Hyatt said that it was the "super vault" which put the team in position for the win. IN THE FLOOR exercise, Beckwith took high Michigan honors with an 8.85, and Samuelson tallied 8.8. Beckwith also led the team on the balance beam with an 8.65. Junior Angela Deaver scored an 8.45 for the Wolverines. Beckwith, the only Michigan gym- nast who went to NCAAs last season, in fact the only one ever to qualify for nationals in the team's seven year history, concurred with Hyatt's view that the team has little chance in reaching the top three places, but said it will not be a wasted trip. "It should be exciting, and it will be good experience for the whole team to go. Last year I didn't have the team behind me and I noticed the lack of moral support."

MSU icers win, playoffs, By MARTHA CRALL Ron Scott has been Michigan State's savior all season long. The most recent feats of the sophomore Spartan goalie in- clude earning All-American honors and Most Valuable Player accolades in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) playoffs held over the weekend at Joe Louis Arena. THE GUELPH, Ontario native saved 29 shots in State's 3-2 victory over Michigan Tech in the semi-finals and wrapped up the 4-1 Spartan championship win with a stellar 27-save performance against Notre Dame on Sunday. All-tournament defenseman Ken Leiter assisted on three of the four first-period goals in the championship game and Tom Anastos netted the game-winner. Michigan State totally dominated the first period of action, outshooting the Irish, 22- 4. Todd Gardiner got the Spartans started with only his second goal of the season, followed by Anastos' power-play score. Mark Hamway, an all-tournament forward, and Nigel Thomas tallied only 34 seconds apart seven minutes later to close the door on Notre Dame. Bowling Green (27-12-2), the regular-season CCHA cham- pions, earned the fourth and final seed for the West. The Falcons narrowly defeated Tech, 2-1, in the consolation game Sunday afternoon. After a 1-1 tie held up for over 40 minutes, all-tournament forward George McPhee scored the game- winner at 15:02 of the final period. Huskies right winger Jeff Wylie put them on the board first in the game at 12:39 of the first period, but the 1-0 lead was shortlived. At 14:42 Brian MacLellan scored on a partial breakaway against freshman Tech goalie, Tom Allen to tie the contest. Bowling Green was surprised by Notre Dame in-its semi- final game, an 8-5 shootout on Saturday. The Falcons took a 3- 1 first-period lead, but a five-goal burst in the second, in- cluding two scores by Dave Poulin, sealed Bowling Green's doom. OTHER ALL-tournament selections included defensemarI Brian MacLellan of Bowling Green and forward Dave Poulin of Notre Dame. The seedings in the East (from one to four) are Nor:, theastern, New Hampshire, Clarkson and Harvard. The one. and two seeded teams in the east host the three and four seeded teams from the west and vice-versa. Therefore, Har- vard travels to Wisconsin and Clarkson to North Dakota, while New Hampshire will host Michigan State and Nor- theastern will entertain Bowling Green. The four winners of the two-game, total goals series will advance to the NCAA finals in Providence, R.I. on March 25 27. Yesterday the All-American teams were also named by the American Hockey Coaches Association. The West team in- cluded Scott in goal, MacLellan and Bruce Driver from Wisconsin in the defense spots and forwards John Newberry of Wisconsin, Brian Hills from Bowling Green and CCHA all- time leading scorer McPhee. -The East team consisted of goalie Brian Hayward of Cor- nell, rearguards Chris Renaud from Colgate and Mark Fusco of Harvard, and forwards Steve Cruickshank of Clarkson, Kirk McCaskall from Vermont and Andy Brickley of New Hampshire. -A" ========t5ILLBU mA I I Id - I I I HSUMMER I SUBLET SSUPPLEMENT I (Print or type as- copy is to appear) .----- - -s ALTHOUGH the Irish out-shot State, 24-13, the rest of the way, only a dingle goal by Bill Rothstein at 6:00 of the second stanza spoiled Scott's shutout. The' CCHA championship vic- tory earned the Spartans an automatic berth in the NCAA regionals, which begin this weekend. However, in the four- team seedings, two Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), Wisconsin, the playoff champion, and North Dakota, the regular season champ, were seeded first and second, thus receivinghome-ice advantage. tI fI {1 fI Actual ad size)J I - - - Scott TUESDA SUMMER SUBLET SUPPLEMENT 1Y LUNCH DISCUSSION MARCH 16- "PROGRAM TO ERADICATE BLINDNESS IN SOUTH INDIA" A Slide-Lecture Presentation with slides of the Himalayas Speaker: TOM CARLSON Grad Student, Biological Sciences, U. of M -12 NOON There will be a relay meet today at 6:45 at the Track and Tennis Building.
