SPORTS The Michigan Daily Thursday, October 28, 1982 Page 9 Cagers set scrimmage to boost ticket sales Third-ranked ODU faces By JIM DWORMAN In an effort to boost sagging student ticket sales, Michigan basketball coach Bill Frieder an- nounced Tuesday that his team will play an intrasquad scrimmage open free-of-charge to University studen- ts. The scrimmage will be played Sunday, November 7 at 6:30 p.m. in Crisler Arena. Students presenting a valid ID card at the arena's north tunnel entrance will be admitted to the game. Seating will be on a first- come, first-serve basis. "WE'RE TRYING to do something special for the students," said Frieder. "I think we're going to have a real fine, exciting team and we'd like to get them involved." So far, students have been anything but involved. Season ticket -sales to students are down by a rMichgian Ticket Department estimate of 40 percent. "We've sold about twelve hundred tickets," said Al Renfrew, head of the ticket department. "Normally, we sell around 2,000 student tickets. We still could get up around there in the next couple of weeks." He added that in the past, students have pur- chased as many as 5,000 season tickets for basketball. RENFREW offered the depressed economy as one possible explanation for the invisible lines at the ticket windows, noting that student season tickets for Michigan's hockey team also are down. On the other hand, he added, economics is a reason why students should buy season tickets. "You get in for $2.50 instead of $5.00," said Renfrew. "I would think that would be an incentive to buy." After next Sunday's intrasquad game, students will have two days in which to -purchase season tickets. Frieder hopes the Wolverines' per- formance in the scrimmage will spur student interest in Michigan basketball. By DOUGLAS B. LEVY Watch out. The Old Dominion Monar- ch field hockey team is in town, and it is hot. As a team, Old Dominion has everything: young talent led by ex- perienced veterans, consistency, poise, impressive statistics and a top coach. But most importantly, the team knows how to win games. While playing a very tough schedule, the Monarchs have two very im- pressive victories on their 9-1 record. An easy win over Massachusetts, 5-1, then ranked number six in the country. And a 1-0 victory over number two ranked Connecticut just last week. The only blemish on their 1982 season is a 2-1 loss to fifth-ranked Temple. Thus, Old Dominion has had the benefit of playing a rigorous schedule, and the skill to be highly successful. Currently, the Monarchs are ranked third in the nation. A trademark of most good teams is a quality coach, and Old Dominion has one of the best in third-year coach Beth Anders. Anders was a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team, and the cap- tain of the 1982 National team. It is most likely that Anders will also perform on the 1984 Olympic team. AS FOR coaching, last season Old Dominion finished 13-2-2. And in each of her three years, the Monarchs have been in the top twenty. Similar to most field hockey coaches, Anders keeps quiet about her individual game plans, but is proud of, and has confidence in her players. "I want the girls to be their own players out on the field," said Anders. In fact, once her players take the field, Anders has had very little to worry about. OLD DOMINION is led by a fresh- man sensation from Overveen, Holland named Eveline LePoole. From her midfield position, LePoole has scored 13 goals and registered four assists. LePoole came to Old Dominion by way of the under-21 Dutch national team, which is considered one of the top teams in the world. "That freshman they have from the Netherlands scares me," said Michigan assistant coach Laura Pieri. "She has a drive that is mean." The team leader in goals is sophomore forward Christy Morgan, who has 15 goals and one assist. Last year Morgan was named to the NCAA all-tournament team. "I SAW Christy play in high school, and she wasn't that super. She must have improved a lot at (summer) camp. Now she is playing great field hockey," commented Michigan Freshman wing Tracy Gaskins. The other big scorer for Old Dominion is senior midfielder Yogi Hightower. Co-captain Hightower leads the team in assists with nine while scoring five goals. Last season Hightower was named all-American, and along with Morgan, was named to the NCAA all-tournament team. Old Dominion has been impenetrable on defense, to the credit of the backs and the sweeper. Through their first five games, the Monarchs had allowed stickers only one goal, and through all ten games have outscored their opponents 44-6., OLD'DOMINION meets the Wolverines tonight at 7:00 in the Michigan Fieldhouse. Michigan is 10-2 and ranked 21st in the nation. Michigan head coach Candy Zientek is confident: "The girls are doing what they are supposed to. We have been a good team all year and have been playing well. We can beat Old Dominion." 4:'I k. R Paid for by the Lana Pollack for State Senate Committee 543 N. Main Street, Ann Arbor.

GRIDDE PICKS ! People from dorms are basically im- tent in the Griddes competition- nd perhaps other things as well. Those n Alice Lloyd and East Quad will only bick teams that have vegetarian diets "nd group rap sessions. These teams fire always incredibly wimpy-after 411, you can't expect a team which eats tttuce and alfalfa sprouts to beat any team that eats beef. All this aside, people from these two dorms also fail in Griddes because they re often so out of touch with reality t*at they send in their grocery receipts instead of their Griddes.
