4 e 12-Friday, October 22, 1982-The Michigan Daily 'M' a family tradition fo y w By TIM MAKINEN The odds were excellent that Kay McCarthy would attend the University of Michigan. McCarthy, the junior scoring machine of this year's field hockey team, is the fourth member of her family to come to Michigan. Her father, sister, and brother also made the long trip from their Dover, ; Massachusetts home for the experience of a Michigan education. Michigan field hockey fans can be very thankful that Kay did not break family tradition. PLAYING FROM the link position, McCarthy has put the ball in the net with a regularity that frightens opposing goalies. This year, McCarthy has scored an amazing 14 goals in just 28 shots; and the end is nowhere is sight. Of course, no one begins as a star, as McCarthy will j readily testify. "When I first came here to try out," explains McCarthy, "my sister showed me how to In- dian dribble, which I had never even done before. I was really scared. You're always scared "as a fresh- man." McCarthy's sister, in fact, was a captain of Michigan's 1979 field hockey squad and has definitely been a force in Kay's career. "MY SISTER was the one who urged me to try out here. I never got any pressure from my parents. I followed in everything that she did: basketball, field hockey, you name it. But I never got to play on the same team as her, which is kind of a bummer," says McCarthy. Although her sister has long since graduated, Mc- Carthy can always visit with her brother, a senior, should homesickness ever grab her. "He's fun, we do a lot together. It still helps having him here," says Kay. But for the moment, McCarthy is extremely pleased with the unity and friendship gained from being a member of the team. Michigan, currently 8-2, has a chance of making it to the nationals this year, and that is something that McCarthy is willing to put forth all her effort to achieve. She has no regrets about not choosing an eastern school with a stronger emphasis on field hockey. "THE CALIBRE of play (out East) used to be a lot r McCarthy greater, but now with Iowa ranked number one, that shows that the Big Ten can't be forgetten," says Mc- Carthy. As for her phenominal scoring, McCarthy dismisses it as not that important. "If I score,: 1, score," shrugs McCarthy. "As long as we win, I dons(. care who does it." In her spare time, McCarthy may be found working on her physical education degree (she intends to4%d graduate level work in special education afdE rehabilitation) or possibly at a local movie theate, catching a flick. A lover of movies, McCarthy cite E.T. as one of her favorites and also a favorite many of her teammates. Perhaps that explains the) team's play this year which has definitely been outef this world. Unfortunately for Michigan, Kay is the youngest: girl in her family, and it could be a long time befor another McCarthy dons a Maize and Blue uniform. 'A the moment though, it is enough to sit back and ar mire the fine performance displayed on the field thi season.

Kay, a Dover, Mass, native, kept a family tradition alive by being the fourth McCarthy to attend Michigan. ANN ARBOR'S' GREAT By TOM EHR Barton Pond is not just for ducks anymore. While the fish and fowl may still have property rights to this body of water approximately three miles nor- theast of campus, they are no longer alone. For beginning this fall, Barton Pond is the new practice site for the Michigan Rowing Club. This week's practices have been particularly im- portant as the club prepares for their biggest meet of the fall season, the Head of the Charles event in Boston. "The Head" as the meet is affec- tionately referred to, is one of the biggest of all rowing events. Over 2,000 competitors will converge on the St. Charles River, representing teams from most of the Midwest and East Coast. Among those participating are perennial eastern powerhouse such as Yale, Harvard, Brown,and the Coast Guard Academy; Wisconsin, the best of the Midwest, and of course Michigan. THE WOLVERINE rowing (also referred to as crew) team is unique among the aforementioned teams because it is a club not a varsity sport. Funds have to be raised by holding special events, such as the "Rowathon" held earlier this month on the Diag. This has somewhat hampered the development of the sport at Michigan, according to mens' varsity coach Dustin Ordway. "If we could set some money aside for a really good coach we could have. one of the best teams in the country. There is national - level talent here which needs to be developed." PREPARATIONS for events like "the Heats" run year round, which makes rowing an especially demanding sport. The rower follows a different agenda for each season. Fall, when many of the club members first begin to row, is actually a training period for the spring. Technique is introduced and improved upon, and the new rower first learns the joys of conditioning. As the approaching winter months freeze the river, the Rowing Club doedki slow at all. Weight training and run= ning take the place of rowing, and the rowers head into the all-important spring season in better'shape than ever. Spring to rowers is like fall to football players. Most meets are held in the- spring, including the Midwestern Sprin ts in Madison, Wisc., the Dad Vails fnl Philadelphia, where more than forty' teams compete. WITH ALL THIS work and pain, why would any sane person want to row's; Teamwork is a big factor, according to sophomore varsity member Kyle Mc Daniel. "Rowing is the only sport in which eight people can combine discipline, physical strengths and grace in a single concentrated effort. mw - i I- HALLOWEEN V KESPER HEIUSER N ~' STORE FEATURING A LARGE SELECTION OF MAKE-UP KITS NOSE & GLASSES * WIGS DISGUISES * MASKS PHANTOM FEET & HANDS CAMPUS BIKE & TOY M-F9:30 7 5h 30s9:30-6 514 E.
