Semi-final games will be played this week, and the finals will be contested the week after vacation. Fraternity A Chi Phi won its first round tournament game last Wednesday, and stayed un- defeated with a hard fought 46-39 victory over Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The Chi Phi's featured a balanced scoring attack with Brian Conybeane, Larry Fromm, and Carl Schwartz each contributing 10 points toward the victory. "We got off to an early lead and held off a late surge to preserve a very tough victory," commented Conybeane. Dave Liederbach sunk a free throw with 10 seconds remaining on the clock to give Phi Delta Theta a 35-34 victory over previously unbeaten Kappa Alpha Psi. Phi Delta Theta jumped out to an early 13-point spread and led by nine at the half. But Kappa Alpha came right back and tied the game for the first time in the closing minute. Pete Gutman led all scorers with 10 points. Fraternity B A strong second-half performance lifted Delta Kappa Epsilon to a 43-36 win over Delta Upsilon. Delta Upsilon jumped out to an early half lead, but Epsilon came back with a 33-point second half to win going away. Peter Mamlikowski led the surge with 15 points. "We really woke up in the second half. It was like two dif- ferent teams out there," commented captain Dave Ottto. Chi Psi took a hardfought, 39-38 thriller from Theta Chi on a jump shot with a minute-and-one-half to play. Theta Chi threw the ensuing inbound pass out-of- bounds off a player's knee, and Chi Psi held on for the victory. Al Morris led all scorers with 20 points for Theta Chi. Captain John Nyboer commented on the win, The whole key was the inbound pass. That's what gave us the win." Independent n Mossad advanced to the Independant A Semi-finals with a 51-26 trashing of Markees. Mossad grabbed the lead early, and then ran away with it. Markees only had five players, and two of them fouled out midway throough the second half. Mossad was led by Howard Wopen who topped the scoring column with 10 points. The Marauders also advanced into the Semis with a, 33-28, victory over the Blowouts. The Marauders trailed by five at the half, but came back with the first eight points of the second session, gaining the momentum and the ball game. John Marklin had a productive night wiht a game-high 14 points for the winners. The IM Digest briefly relates the activities of the Michigan Intramural program during the previous week.

It en- ded. While it is still mathematically possible for the Wolverines to get into the post-season activities, the only way they will see the finals is by going to Joe Louis Arena to watch from the stands. The four games left, against Lake Superior and Michigan Tech, will undoubtedly close the book on what has been a disappointing year in Michigan hockey. Not since the 1978-79 season, when the icers missed the WCHA playoffs with an 8-27-1 record, has a Michigan team played so poorly, and while there is blame to be laid for the team's troubles, the bottom line rests with players who didn't produce. "I guess I'm down, like I probably should be, but I'm not going to rip into anybody," said Michigan coach John Giordano. "We're just going to go out there (for the final games) and try to play hard and let the rest fall into place." Place for the Wolverines may well be eleventh in the twelve-team CCHA, if Michigan continues its current level of play. At the start of the season it was defensive mistakes by first-year players that hurt the team. Then it was a slump in offen- sive production for the second part of the season. Finally, in losing two games to Ferris State last weekend, it was a lack of both offense and defense. New blood, same story Certainly Giordano and the team can be excused for inexperience and injuries. Eleven prominent Wolverine players had less than three games of NCAA Division I experience before the season, and defensive, leader John DeMartino, a transfer from Division II Michigan-Dearborn, spent the majority of the season on crutches before retur- ning against Ferris.' Add to this a schedule that includes nationally- ranked Bowling Green, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Michigan Tech and you have the makings of a poor season. Surely, the Wolverines can't be faulted for their play against these teams, where their record stands at 1-10. Instead, the fault comes with the fact Michigan has been consistently unable to beat competition at its own level. Losing twice to Miami, three of four to Ferris State, and splitting with Lake Superior, Notre Dame and Western Michigan has doomed the Wolverines. The team was able to play sloppy, mistake-filled games every Friday night before showing the talent they were supposed to have on Saturday. Losing games to second- division teams makes a second-division team, and the Wolverines put themselves in a deep hole. Bad luck and good recruiting If the hockey team can't clear the puck from in front of its own net after a save, then the other team is bound to score. If the Wolverines get only 20 shots on a net, but surrender 40, then shell- shock, and not victories, will be the result. Luck hasn't been with the icers either, as they have spent much of the year watching breakaway passes bounce harmlessly over sticks, or open nets suddenly turn into solid steel pipes. That aside, however, there is a lot of room for im- provement on the Michigan hockey team. Giordano has a verbal commitment from one prominent Minnesota recruit, has five more on the line, and is hungrily pursuing Notre Dame's All- CCHA defenseman Sean Regan. The addition of these players might make for a first-class team, or the fans might have to suffer through another wait-until-we-get-some-experience-and-then- we'll= win season. "I think we'll bring in six players who can play right away," said Giordano. "We need three cen- ters right away, but we're going after a good left wing and another defenseman. I think we proved last year that we can recruit with some of the best teams in the nation." If Giordano can bring in six new players to revitalize the lineup as well as replace leaders, such as Ted Speers, Brad Tippett and Joe Milburn, then Michigan might be able to make the playoffs next year. Needing those new players, however, may say a lot about why the team will watch the playoffs now. .. .-- :J women cagers fall to MSU again -4 Prof. Gur Offer ISREALI PEACE NOW ACTIVIST (Shalom Achshav) By PAUL HELGREN The third time was not the charm for the Michigan women's basketball team, as it lost to Michigan State for the third time this season, 77-67, at Crisler Arena Sunday. The loss also dropped the Wolverines' all-time record to 2-16 against their arch-rivals. Despite the relative ease with which- the Spartans beat Michigan, coach Gloria Soluk was pleased with the effor- ts of her Wolverines. "We felt good in there," she said. "We gave them all they could handle." BUT AT THE start of the game it was Spartan forward Lil Preston, who was giving the Wolverines all they could handle. Midway through the first half Preston hit for eight points in less than three minutes to give Michigan State a 24-16 lead. 'The Middle East - A Peace Now Perspective' st half, Bradetich was held to just three shots in the second half. She finished with 18 points. "Wendy really didn't play well in the second half," coach Soluk said. "She has a stress fracture so we have to rest her." Peg Harte added 14 points for Michigan but was only five-of-20 from the field. As a team Michigan shot 38 percent (28-74), compared to Michigan State's 51 percent (32-63). The loss, which was Michigan's eighth straight, dropped its record to 3- 17, 1-9 in the Big Ten. The Spartans up- ped their record to 7-12, 3-7 in conferen- ce play. Michigan 's next game is Friday night against Illinois at Crisler Arena.

While Soullier provided the defense, center Wendy Bradetich sizzled on of- fense. The 6-0 freshman hit seven of 10 shots in the first half, to keep the Wolverines in striking distance, 36-31. BUT, AS has happened so often this year, Michigan was worn down by its taller opponents. Mary Kay McNall, the 6-3 freshman Spartan center, led all scorers with 24 points, mostly short jump shots. Spartan coach Karen Langeland praised McNall's work. "McNall played well," she said. "She wanted to prove she's much better than how she played last week (against Michigan)." Langeland also cited her team's ability to adjust to Michigan's man-to- man defense as a key to the win. "We did not do a good job of isolating Preston against the man-to-man in the first half," she explained. "But we did in the second half." Preston finished with 18 points and 16 rebounds. ANOTHER contributing factor to the , Spartans' second half success was their stopping of Bradetich.

LEVY At halftime of last Sunday's women's basketball game between Michigan and Michigan State, a brief ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary of varsity intercollegiate competition for Michigan women was held. Associate Director of Athletics in charge of women's sports Phyllis Ocker prepared the celebration. THE FESTIVITIES included an in- troduction of several supporting alum- ni, and the presentation of four awards to women athletes. Among the alumni introduced was Eunicg Burns, who chaired an eight-- person committee to study the question of intercollegiate athletics for women back in 1973. In November of that year, the committee submitted its report and the regents voted to establish a varsity athletics program for women. Also introduced was Marie Hartwig (class of '29), currently professor emeritus and the first women's athletic director. The first annual Marie Har- twig Scholarship Award, honoring a top female athlete, was presented to Michigan volleyball star Jeanne Weckler.

"It is distrubing having to practice (volleyball) in the CCRB with people playing basketball and running around the track," said the junior spiker. "Because the CCRB is a public facility we can't charge any money (for games). Travelling is also unequal. We (women) have to bus, while men get tofly." .OCKER AND Cathy Lindahl, Coor- dinator of Fall Sports and Promotions at Michigan State discounted Weckler's4 comments. "The situation for women and all sports at MSU is essentially the same ds at Michigan," said Lindahl. "At State we have the big three-football, basketball, and hockey-that generate all the money. Then all the other 21 sports, both men and women, are placed on the same level. All of those sports have their own budget, facility and practice problems.," "With transportation, the safety of 4 the athletes comes first," said Ocker. "Most men's teams drive to their respective events." Three other awardees were honored. Kay McCarthy, Michigan field hockey's leading scorer was Athlete of the Month for October. Lisa Larsen, co-captain of cross-country and track, selected for November. And Peg Harte of basket- ball received the award for the month of January. At the conclusion of her halftime speech Ocker summed up the feelings of most Michigan supporters. "We are;. looking forward to another year of suc- cessful women athletics."
