4 SPORTS The Michigan Daily Sunday, March 13, 1983 Page 8 'M 5 (Continued from Page 1) ~opening stanza. "When I go in at that point in the game, it's to generate excitement," said Jokisch. "That is the most important part of my game, to get everyone picked up and come together as a team." Wade finished with seven points, but his 10 rebounds were even more impressive. Hen- derson turned in 10 points along with six rebounds. Frieder was happy with his team's second half performance, but said that its refusal to quit in the first half was the difference. BIG TEN Irops Wi "The team played well in the second half," said the third-year head coach, who upped his career record to 41-44. "We could have folded after the first half, but Jokisch, Henderson, and (Dan) Pelekoudas came off the bench and gave us a lift. We were able to sustain that lift into the second half. When we caught up with them, we showed some poise and determination." Michigan seniors Isaac Person and Leo Brown, who both got standing ovations at the beginning of the game, each got into the contest. Person, who finished out his Michigan career with two points, came out of the lockerroom after halftime with his leg and knee bandaged up and saw no more ac- tion. Brown got into the game with a minute left to the delight of the crowd that screamed "Leo, Leo" one last time. After the game, Frieder reflected on the just completed season. "I don't think anyone picked us to win more than 16 or 17 games," said Frieder. "I was dissapointed that we didn't win more games. Not disappointed with the kids but with our record. After last year though, our record this season was a nice accomplish- ment. We'll have to go on now from where we are." ildcats, 64-57 Reliford Wade McCormick Person Turner Henderson Jokisch Pelekoudas Tarpley Brown Team TOTALS Aaron Stack Goode Rathel Jenkins Schultz Richardson Peterson Pitts Clary Team TOTALS MICHIGAN MinFG/A FT/A R AF 17 0/3 0/0 2 1 35 3/6 1/6 10 1 26 5/8 1/2 3 0 10 1/2 0/2 1 0 39 8/16 2/4 3 4 32 5/8 0/0 6 2 19 6/8 0/0 3 3 18 0/0 4/4 0 3 3 0/0 0/0 0 0 1 0/0 0/0 0 0 2 28/51 8/18 30 14 NORTHWESTERN PF Pts 2 0 3 7 5 11 2 2 3 18 ' 3 10 3 12 2 4 0 00 10 0 STANDING Conf.

"We shouldn't be disappointed," said the team's co-captain, "We did the best we could and have to realize we may have made some mistakes along the way. We im- proved and learned a lot this year.

Attendance: 11,105 NCAA INDOOR TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS: Diemer, Donakowski place in 2-mile BIARRYFRi ED Goodbye Ike and Leo... .anew era begins IT WAS THE end of an era. There will be no more "Le-O, Le-O" chants rever- berating from the throngs at Crisler Arena. And there will no longer be number 52 hustling on the court from any position. Although the graduation of Leo Brown and Isaac Person will not be felt that much in the scorebook, their departure will be noticed in the intangibles; the spirit, the character and charisma they brought to the games will be missed. But the game also marked the beginning of a new era. The Wolverines may or may not, depending on an NIT bid, have closed out the season on a bright note. They swept the week's series over Iowa and North- western to close out the season with a respectable 15-13 mark. But what really left Frieder smiling as he exited the court, was the future of his young Wolverine squad. "The kids really held up well this game, just as they have done all season long," the third-year coach said. "I'm a little disappointed at the record, but not in our kids. I think we have to go on from here and get bet- ter." The man who will most help Frieder's club get bet- ter, Eric Turner, also sees brighter moments in the near future. "We learned a lot and that is what you want," said the soft-spoken Flint native. "At the same time you want to be successful and that will come in time." At certain moments during yesterday's 64-57 victory over the Wildcats, that time seemed to have come ahead of schedule. Freshman Paul Jokisch, who scored 12 points, and Butch Wade, who grabbed ten rebounds, typified the progress Frieder's players have made this season. In addition, Tim McCormick's steadily improving play has laid to rest any doubts about his physical capabilities. "I think Butch is getting better all the time," Frieder said. "Jokisch played his best game. He's playing a lot more under control and more relaxed." Jokisch not only gave Michigan fans a lift on the court, but also off,. as he announced his intentions to stay with basketball. "Right now I doubt it (playing football)," Jokisch said. "I love football, but I love basketball too much to give it up." With five improving freshmen, healthy upper- classmen, and some standout recruits coming next season, Frieder and his program seem ready to take off. But the man pushing the buttons is cautious as usual. "We start practice October 15, and we'll have to see what happens from there," said the unflappable Michigan mentor. Whereas Frieder is hesitant to make predictions, his on-the-court quarterback, Turner, is excited about the upcoming year. "We're going to be a rounded out team next year," said the 6-3 co-captain. "In high school we used to run, run, run and I liked to lead the show. Hopefully next season I'll get back to that type of game." With an improving Turner calling the shots; the Wolverines look to have a legitimate shot at their first above-500 Big Ten mark in five years. And while Leo and Ike have firmly implanted themselves in Michigan trivia, look for Frieder and company to be leaving a mark of their own in the upcoming years. By JOE EWING Special to the Daily PONTIAC - When can you say losing is a major accomplishment? Well, if the loss means finishing in third and fourth in the finals of the two-mile run at the NCAA indoor track and field champion- ships, as Michigan's Brian Diemer and Gerard Donakowski did yesterday, it is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. "This is a major accomplishment for both of us," said Diemer, who was clocked in 8:30.49. "My time was 8:30, that was definitely my best." THE WOLVERINE distance duo stayed toward the back of the pack unnoticed throughout most of the race until Diemer brought the Pontiac Silver- dome crowd of 15,010 to its feet by bursting into the lead with three laps to go. Colorado's Mark Scru- tton and UTEP's Gidamis Shahanga overtook the Wolverine senior, however, on the final lap and finished one and two in 8:29.29 and 8:29.72. Donakowski, who also challenged when Diemer made his move, finished fourth in 8:32.61. Indiana's Big Ten mile champ 'Jim Spivey nip- ped Washington State's Tuwei by .01 seconds (3:59.95 to 3:59.96) to take the mile crown, while Tennessee's Willie Gault was the only double win- ner of the meet, capturing both the 60-yard dash and 60-yard hurdle titles in 6.18 and 6.98 respec- tively. Southern Methodist took the team championship with 43 points while Michigan tied for the 15th spot with 10. Nebraska takes women's title at the NCAA Championships in Pontiac. Nine NCAA records fell, but when long-jumper Carol Lewis leaped 21'6%", her mark became a point of controversy. Lewis, from the University of Houston, apparen- tly had an American record with the effort. She was understandably upset, however, when of- ficials would not measure her jump in meters, which is a necessary procedure for an American record claim. SHE HAD SOME strong words for the meet committee. "The marshall said to measure in feet. I might have the NCAA record. Big deal! I wanted the American record and I got cheated," said Lewis. Meanwhile, it was not quite as happy a day for Michigan's women athletes, although Bullard and Thornton did well Friday to reach the finals. Bullard finished in a four-way tie for third in the high jump after failing in three attempts to clear six feet. Thornton managed to long jump 19'0%" to place eighth overall. Wolverine coach Francie Goodridge had mixed feelings about the meet. "Joanna and Lorrie were high points," she said, "but the rest of the meet was a disappointment." Goodridge was par- ticularly disappointed with a meet rule that prevented her athletes from competing in two events. Because of the rule, Michigan's individual qualifiers could not compete as a unit in the two- mile relay. "I know we would have won (the two- mile relay) but the (NCAA) Championships are for the athletes," said Goodridge, "and they should choose their best events." -CHRIS GERBASI Daily Photo by JEFF SCHRIER Michigan's Brian Diemer (left) and Gerard Donakowski on their way to third and fourth place finishes respectively in the two-mile race at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships at the Silverdome yesterday.

The Michigan baseball team is off and running to a 4-0 record, its best start ever under coach Middaugh's guidance. Yesterday the Wolverines downed Columbia, 6-2, and 12th-ranked James Madison, 4-1. A THREE-RUN third inning did the job against JMU. Chuck Froning got For more information: Liii Kivisto 763-2226 things going with a walk with two outs and Chris Sabo then beat out an infield hit. Ken Hayward scored them both with a double and came home on Jeff Jacobson's single. Freshman Dan Disher was the star against Columbia as he had two singles, a walk and two runs in his first start ever. In the first game, Michigan's Gary Wayne was credited with the victory, while Senior Tim Karazim picked up the save. Against Columbia, Bill Shuta got the win with freshman Jaimie Piper getting a save. Beckwith finishes fifth Special to the Daily OWA CITTV - Michigann Kathv Beckwith scored an 8.65 in the balance beam finals to finish in fifth place in that. event at the Big Ten women's gymnastics championships yesterday. She was the only Wolverine to qualify for the finals. Ohio State captured the team title with 178 points, while Michigan came in fifth with 170.75. Hoopsters crushed EVANSTON-Northwestern's Anuch Brown put on quite a show yesterday, all at the expense of the Michigan women's basketball team. Brown scored 32 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in just 23 minutes to lead the Wildcats to a 94-65 mauling of the Wolverines. It was Michigan's last game of the season and dropped its record to 4-2 4. Peg Harte led the Wolverines with 21 points. MSU icers win, 4-3 By CHUCK JAFFE Special to the Daily DETROIT - The Central Collegiate Hockey Association named its most valuable player two days early. The runner-up, Michigan State goaltender Ron Scott, proved that he deserved it last night before 15,192 fans at Joe Louis Arena. Scott stopped 25 shots, including an overtime penalty shot by CCHA MVP Brian Hills, and the Spartans' Mark Hamway scored an overtime goal to lead Michigan State to the CCHA championship with a 4-3 win over Bowling Green. The Spartans, who finished second to the Falcons in the regular season, never trailed in the game. Gord Flagel scored just nine seconds into the contest and MSU jumped to a 3-0 lead only six minutes into the first period. Bowling Green battled back to make it 3-2 after one period and 3-3 after two.
