'Bruised Wolverines
to battle hot UCLA
By RON POLLACK
All is not well on the Miehigan
homefront.
Against Notre Dame last weekend,
the Wolverine gridders were pummeled
in every possible way during their 23-17
loss. As the 20th-ranked Michigan squad
prepares for today's (1:00 p.m.) game
against 12th-ranked UCLA, it finds
more than just its pride is battered and
bruised.
OFFENSIVE tackle Ron Prusa, who
was to get his first start ever in today's
game, has been relegated nothing more
than a spectator because of a serious
knee injury. Prusa had finally beaten
out senior Tom Garrity for the left
tackle job when the injury came at
when must be considered a most inop-
portune time for him. With the services
of the 6-3, 242-pound junior lost for the
afternoon - and in all probability
several more games - senior Dan
Yarano and sophomore Clay Miller
jump a notch on the offensive tackle
ladder.
" Jerald Ingram, who figured to be ther
Wolverines' starting fullback until an
infected toe knocked him out of the
lineup for the season opener against
Wisconsin, will sit out today's contest
with an injured knee. With Ingram still
sidelined, Greg Armstrong, Eddie
Garrett and Dan Rice will again be
called upon to play large roles in a
Michigan offense that has sputtered
this season.
" Anthony Carter is still hobbled by a
groin injury sustained against Wiscon-
sin which kept him out of the majority
of the second half against Notre Dame.
AND WHEN the Wolverines limp on-
to the playing field this afternoon, their
woes will not be confined to their
sideline. On the other side of the
gridiron will be a snarling band of
UCLA Bruins waiting in anticipation
for the chance to inflict a fresh set of
aches and pains to a Michigan team
already scarred, physically as well as
emotionally.
The Bruins' motives for such a
violent act are really quite simple. They
seek retribution for a 33-14 lashing
received at the hands of these same
Michigan Wolverines in last year's
Bluebonnet Bowl.
This UCLA team (2-0) is not the same
as the one that was tamed, mastered
and thoroughly outplayed by Michigan
on New Year's Eve. At least it hasn't
been through the first two weeks of this
season. In their season opener against
Long Beach State, the Bruins flexed
their rather considerable muscles to
the tune of a 41-10 final score. Last
week, UCLA crushed Wisconsin, 51-26.
"WE PLAYED as well against
Wisconsin as I've had a team play in
several years," said seventh-year
UCLA head coach Terry Donahue.
There certainly hasn't been much to
complain about when UCLA has the
ball - unless, of course, you're a
defender faced with the formidable
task of shutting down this dynamic of-
fense.
"We're a substantially better offen-
sive team because of the development
of (quarterback) Tom Ramsey," said
Donahue in comparing this year's
squad to the one which faced Michigan
in the Bluebonnet Bowl.
RAMSEY HAS done more than develop
this season; he has riddled opposing
secondaries for 273 yards/game and six
touchdowns thereby playing a huge role
in the Bruins' prolific 92-point output
for two games. He has also completed
63.6 percent of his passes, while only
tossing one interception.
Running under Ramsey's aerial
strikes are the extremely capable trio
of Cormac Carney, Jojo Townsell and
Paul Bergmann.
With All-American tight end Tim
Wrightman having graduated, there
was some concern as to how much
productivity the Bruins would get out of
his position. Such worries have been
quickly alleviated by Bergmann, who
currently leads the UCLA squad in rec-
eiving with eight catches for 139 yards
and one touchdown. Townsell and Car-
ney are close behind with seven recep-
tions apiece. Townsell has been a
touchdown machine, crossing the
enemy goal line on four of his seven
catches.
ALTHOUGH they have not done so
with the proficiency of their passing
game, the Bruins are capable of
moving the ball on the ground. The
team's leading rusher from a year ago
is junior Kevin Nelson who gained 883
yards.
Defensively, UCLA standouts include
Lupe Sanchez (whose three intercep-
tions this season lend credence to
Schembechler's claim that he is the
Bruins' best defensive back), All-
American defensive tackle candidate
Irv Eatman and Lee Knowles who leads
the team in tackling from his inside
linebacking post.
Needless to say, Schembechler is not
taking UCLA lightly. "This UCLA
team is close to being among the best in
the country.. . They could be in the top
five, at least in the top 10."

'M' stickers rally to nip Spartans, 2-1
EAST LANSING - Lisa Schofield
fired home two goals late in the second
,half last night to bring Michigan's field
hockey team to a 2-1 come-from-behind
victory over Michigan State..
Both Schofield goals resulted from
penalty corners, and both drew assists
from Dee Jones and Kay McCarthy.
THE FIRST score came with only
four minutes remaining in the contest
and with the Spartans holding a 1-0
lead. McCarthy passed the ball out to
Jones, who drew the Michigan State
defense away from the goal-mouth
before forwarding the ball to Schofield
for the goal.
The game-winning tally, came on a
nearly identical play only a minute
later.
Both goals were scored against
MSU's All-Big Ten goalie Cathy
Costello.
AFTER A scoreless first half,
Michigan State had jumped into the
lead with a goal approximately 10
minutes after the intermission.
For her two assists, McCarthy earned
the games Attack Award, given by
coach Candy Zientek. Marty Maugh
won the Defense Award.
Zientek was especially pleased by the
persistence of her team. "It was an
aggressive, hard fought game," she
said. "Composure pulled us through."
Colbert-leads inritational
Special to the Oaily
COLUMBUS- Michigan's Karyn
Colbert won individual medalist honors
yesterday in the first round of the Lady
Northern Invitational golf tournament.
Colbert, a senior from Jackson, bat-
tled the course and a cold, pouring rain
to shoot a par 71 and lead all com-
petitors in a field of 23 teams.
Colbert's teammates, however, did
not fare quite so well. As a team, the
Wolverines currently stand 19th with a
score of 336, a full 32 strokes behind co-
leaders Ohio State and Indiana.
The three-day tournament continues
today and will conclude tomorrow af-
ternoon.
Today's UCLA-Michigan game starts at 1:00 p.m. EST and can be heard on WAAM
(1600 AM), WPAG (1050 AM), .WWJ (950 AM), WUOM (91.7 FM), WLEN (103.9
FM), WTOD (1560 AM), WJR (760 AM), WTRX (1330 AM) and WCBN (88.3 FM).
