Page 12-Friday, March 18, 1983-The Michigan Daily Netters win home By DOUGLAS B. LEVY Spring has brought the Michigan men's tennis team back to Ann Arbor, as the Wolverines hosted their first match of the year. Michigan triumphed easily over the Kalamazoo Fighting Hornets, yesterday, 8-1, at the Liberty Racquet Club. Mark Mees, Michigan's first singles player, was taken to three sets by Ven Johnson before winning, 6-3, 6-7 (11-9), 6-2. "I HAVEN'T played in about a week, said the team captain from Zanesville, Ohio, who is suffering from an undiagnosed hip ailment. "He (Johnson served very well and was moving the ball around effectively." At second singles Kalamazoo fresh- man Tim Corwin gave Michigan junior Ross Laser all he could handle. Laser came back to win the match, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 and is full of confidence for the up- coming Big Ten season. "I've been playing better and bet- ter," said Laser. I'm looking forward to having a flawless Big Ten season. Last year I was up and down after a very successful freshman year. this year I want to go out and prove myself again." IF THERE is one player who has proven himself to the team, it is fresh- man Jim Sharton. Playing at third singles in place of the injured Tom Haney (knee), Sharton defeated Dave Higdon, 6-3, 6-2. "Jimmy's come along real well. He has established himself as one of the best players in this area." said Eisner. Last year Sharton ranked 28th in the nation in the boy's 18 and under division.- The most impressive effort of the day belonged to Michigan junior Rodd Schreiber. Schreiber used a blazing serve to overwhelm Adam Bottorff, 6-1, 6-2. "UNBELIEVABLE," said Eisner as he watched one of Schreiber's aces. "This has been the best of Rodd's ser- ved all year. His elbow has been bothering him but today his serve, has been unreal.'' Freshman Hugh Kwok won a tough match over Chris Yates, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, at number five singles. "Hugh is getting better and better all the time," said Eisner. "He didn't volley particularly well today, but he passed and returned (serve) very well." ANOTHER freshman was in the line- up at six singles. Kurt Lichtman lost to the Fighting Hornets' Eric Traumann, 4-6, 6-4 6-4. In the doubles matches the Wolverines were also dominant. Mees and Haney defeated the duo of Johnson and Corwin. 6-4. 6-2. pener At second doubles, Sharton and Laser executed coach Eisner's "firesquad" tactic to perfection. Sharton and Laser hit powerful groundstrokes with a lot of top spin, so Eisner has the team stay on the baseline and pound away at the op- posing players at net. Sharton and Laser triumphed, 6-2, 6-2. IN THE FINAL match of the day, Schreiber and Kwok downed Chris Stokes and Phil Harrington in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. Coach Eisner was very pleased with the team's results. "In the last few weeks we've suffered some nagging in- juries, and the guys have been very busy with school work and taking exams. "Kalamazoo is a top Division III team. They are solid and very com- petitive." NEXT ON TAP for the 5-7 tennis team is the Sheldon-Coleman Tennis Classic played at Wichita State from March 24-27. Four teams will participate 'in the event: Michigan, Wichita State, Ten- nessee, and Texas Christian (TCU). "Today we were building back for these three matches coming up," said Eisner. "All three teams are in the top twenty and play tough tennis." Michigan has already lost to Wichita State twice this year, but Eisner is con- fident that the third time will be a dif- ferent story. "The concentration of everyone is good, and the guys are working hard. The two matches we lost to Wichita were very close. I am con- fident we can win." 4 -r-------- -- --- S- -- -.. . . -- - - - -. = =-. - -- - q "CLASSES TAUGHT IN ENGLISH" The Medical program of Universidad Tecnologica De Santiao (UT ) in Santo Domin o, Dominican Republ icis tailored after the traditiona U.S. model of Medical Education and is fully accredited.

The junior from Lincolnwood, Ill., won the match, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Basmen sweep pair; raise record to 9-0 GET WORICED UP. I'IT GET FILLED UP Special to the Daily WINTER PARK, Fla. - Not since 1919 has the Michigan baseball team been off to a better start. The Wolverines downed Virginia, 6-2, and Yale 7-3, yesterday, to up their record to 9-0. Sixty-four years ago the squad won ten straight. The team is now 4-0 in the Rollins In- vitational- Tournament and with another win over the Cavaliers tomorrow at noon, it will clinch at least a tie for first place. Then Michigan will battle Stetson later in the evening, and close out its spring trip, Saturday, against Rollins. BILL SHUTA was on the mound against Virginia and was given a two- run advantage before he even toed the rubber. Mike Waters and Ken Hayward walked to open the first, and both ad- vanced on an error. Second baseman Jeff Jacobsen then singled to score both runs. The Wolverines added two more runs in the next frame, again aided by a pair of walks, these to Eric Sanders and Kurt Zimmerman. Both runners scored on C.J. Beschke's single and a two-out double by Chris Sabo. Shuta was yanked in the third in favor of Jamie Piper, a freshman from Jackson. Piper ran into some truble in the fifth, so Tim Karazin took over and pitched 3 2/3 hitless innings to pick up his second save, while enabling Piper to get his first collegiate win. A four-run fifth inning in the second game was more than enough to put away Yale. Rich Bair opened the frame by reaching on an error and singles by Dale Skalar and Barry Larkin filled the bases. Waters hit into a force play scoring one run, and then proceeded to steal second. Hayward followed with a single to score Skalar and Waters, taking second on the throw. Jacobsen knocked in thefinal run of the stanza with a single.
