SPORTS Field Hockey Northwestern vs. Purdue 11:00 a.m., Ferry Field I Page 7' he Michigan Daily Saturday, September 24, 1983 / 'M' GRIDDERS HUR T A T LINEBACKER Wisconsin first Big (Continued from Page 1) Melka and Russ Fields. "DEFENSIVELY we are very young," said McClain. "We start a lot of red-shirted freshmen. We start only four seniors on defense and our secon- dary does not have a lot of experience." McClain expects Michigan to challenge the defensive backfield, and pointed to Smith's fine performance against Washington as an indication of what his team will be up against. Smith, who sat out the season opener against Washington State, completed 18 of 26 passes last week for 225 yards and appeared to have recovered from nagging shoulder injuries. In addition, Smith provided leadership and offen- sive spark that Schembechler hopes will carry over into toda's peforman- ce. "HE IS IN control out there," Schembechler said. "I think that was a great performance considering he had not been able to practice or throw much. He should be getting better each week." Smith's biggest contribution last week was the addition of downfield passing to the Michigan attack. Tight end Sim Nelson caught seven passes in the first half and split end Vince Bean caught his first five passes of the season. Tailbacks Rick Rogers and Kerry Smith lead the rushing game, which will be bolstered by the return of fullback Eddie Garrett, who injured his arm against Washington State. BUT THE biggest question marks for the Wolverines are on defense, where injurieshve depleted the stockaof linebackers. Starters Mike Boren and Mike Mallory are both healthy, but first reserves Andy Moeller and Tim Ander- son are out with knee and ankle in- juries, respectively. Mike Reinhold, the only remaining inside linebacking sub- stitute, is suffering from a slight neck injury, but will be able to play. Schembechler said he expects to move Tom Hassel or Jeff Akers to the middle if he needs to replace a starter. "Injuries are going to play a big part in this game," Schembechler said. "We are not a good blitzing team and we have to do a better job with our inside linebackers. This is going to be a heck of a football game." For Michigan, it will have to be, for the Badgers will no doubt be playing with the same intensity they had when they upset Michigan, 21-14,in 1981. If the Wolverines repeat that perfor- mance, the entire team could find itself up the river at the start of the Big Ten season. Today's Michigan-Wisconsin game starts at 2:30 EDT and can be heard 'on WAAM (1600AM), WPAG (1050 AM), WWJ (950 AM), WUOM (91.7 FM) and WJR (760 AM).

Peter Lindsay, formerly of Western Michigan, will direct Michigan's women's swimmers this winter. Lindsay takes over the position held for the last nine years by Stu Isaac, who resigned in mid-June to take a position with Speedo In- ternational. LINDSAY COACHED both the men's and women's swim teams at Western Michigan for the past four years. The dual job, common in the Mid-American Conference, entailed simultaneous practices and same day meets. "That's one thing I'm not going to miss," said Lindsay. "It will be more cohesive coaching one team." Lindsay received a degree in political science from Miami (Ohio) University - where he was a member of the swim team - in 1972 and later, a Masters degree in health and physical education. THE SON OF a naval officer, Lindsay followed in his father's footsteps, participating in ROTC during his 'un- dergraduate years at Miami. The San Diego native later ser ved as a communications officer and navigator in the navy and spent a year in Vietnam. Once intent upon a career as a naval officer, Lindsay found that teaching English and coaching swimming at the Naval= Academy sparked his interest. After receiving his Masters in 1979, Lindsay moved on to WMU, where he taught coaching theory as well as YMCA swimming classes. But coaching the Wolverines will be a full-time job. Lin- dsay already has his swimmers in the water, preparing for. their November 4 season opener. Lindsay says the academic success of his swimmers is the' first priority on his agenda. Around the Big Ten hio State at Iowa :50 p.m. EDT What to watch: Everything. In what promises to be the premier match-up in the~ nation today, third-ranked Ohio State throws No. 1-rated quarterback Mike Tomczak at the seventh-ranked Iowa Hlawkeyes. Iowa plans 'to counter with Chuck Long, the nation's No. 3- rated passer. Both teams are coming off huge triumphs last week. The Buckeyes pounded highly-touted klahoma, 24-14, while Iowa outlasted Penn State, 42-34, in a game which saw Long throw for 345 yards, an Iowa record. Scheduling quirks prevented the Buckeyes from facing Iowa the past two seasons and subsequently hurt Ohio State's chances to go to the Rose Bowl. Itis doubtful the Buckeyes have forgot- ten this, and one can expect to see a highly-motivated group of players on the field today. Ilinois at Michigan State 1:00 p.m. EDT What to watch: Michigan State stunned Notre Dame last week, 28-23, largely 'due to the foot of punter .Ralf Mojsiejenko. He reeled off consecutive boots of 54, 72, and 53 yards, and kept. thO Irish pinned in their own end during much of the game. That kind of kicking, SPORTS OF THE DAILY: combined with the passing of sophomore Dave Yarema and defen- sive standout Carl Banks' play, should enable the Spartans to knock off the Illini, who downed Stanford last week, 17-7. Northwestern at In- diana 1:30W~m.EIA7 L What to watch: If Indiana can put the ball in the end zone at all, it should be enough for a victory over anemic Nor- thwestern. The Wildcats have yet to score this season and have yielded 69 points in losses to Washington and Syracuse. Northwestern quarterback Sandy Schwab continues to pick up yardage in the air (516 yards so far), but his receivers seemingly refuse to cross the goal line. Indiana, which lost to Kentucky last week, 24-13, may keep this game close. Purdue at Minnesota 8:00 p.m. EDT What to watch: Both of these teams will try to rebound from last week's horrendous outings. Purdue was trounced by Miami (Fla.), 35-0, while Nebraska annihilated the Golden Gophers, 83-14. Purdue may have the slight edge in this sleeper. "Around the Big Ten" was com- piled by Tim Makinen. x x*.. ....... ..... ........ ... .. ........... ............... . .......... .... ................. ............. ....... ....... ............... ................ .. 'Cat stickers blank Blue By CHRIS GERBASI An aggressive, crisp-passing North- western field hockey team controlled the game- early and hung on late to post a 2-0 victory over the Wolverines yesterday at Ferry Field. The first half was played almost en- tirely in Michigan's defensive zone as the Wildcats displayed a quick and ef- fective passing game. Northwestern's persistence finally paid off 25 minutes into the game when midfielder Kathleen Kochmansky pushed a rebound past Wolverine goalie Jonnie Terry. Terry made the original save on a shot by Amy Kekeisen. MICHIGAN coach Candy Zientek was impressed with the Wildcats, who ranked eighth nationally last year. "They played extremely well," she said. "Their stick work and passing game is good. They were quick to the ball and aggressive." The second half began in bright sun- shine but rainclouds moved in and a steady downpour made the field con- ditions a disadvantage to both teams. However, the Wolverines' offense began to put some pressure on North- western midway through the half. Michigan's best scoring opportunity came when halfback Alison Johnson hit the goal post on a breakaway after taking a pass from Lisa Schofield. Shortly after Johnson's effort, the Wildcats put the game away on a goal by forward Lisa Griswold. Once again, the score came on a rebound after Terry knocked down a shot by Jennifer Averill. TERRY, WHO made ten saves in a fine performance, was encouraged by the Wolverines' second half showing. "It took us a little while to settle into the game, but our defense got better in the second half," she said. "This was our first game against a team of this caliber and I have a good feeling abut the upcoming games." Zientek was also optimistic. "This in only our second game and the first time our defense has been under such pressure," she said. "We had our chan- ces." The loss dropped Michigan's record to 1-1. Northwestern is now "5-2. The Wildcats play Purdue at 11 a.m. today at Ferry Field and the Wolverines will host the Boilermakers tomorrow at 10 a.m. IM SCORES Thursday Softball Residence Hall Keggateers 7, Futher Muckers 0 1st Rotvig 11, Frost-I 3 Independent MM's Cardinals 3,Bubba's Boys 2 Reasonable Men 6, Bruins 4 1st Hayden 12, John's Peter 2 Jafo 2, Main Veiner 1 Fraternity Theta Chi 1B' forfeit, Psi Upsilon 'B' Phi Alpha Kappa 7, Phi Kappa Psi 7 Zeta Beta Tau 'B'115, Chi Phi S Sigma Phi Epsilon 'B' 20, Delta Upsilon 0 Women Wesley Women 12, Hunt4 Bush Bunnies 7, H B 5 High scores hurt M' linksters Special to the Daily BAST LANSING - On a cold and windy afternoon, the Michigan wdmen's golf team struggled into 13th pl4ce after 36 holes of the Spartan Fall InVitational. The Wolverines play 18 holes today to conclude the 15-team toQrnament. Freshman Melissa Bauer paced the Wolverines with a second round score of78 and a total of 159. Rounding out the Mirhigan attack were: Bridget Syron, 86"1 -167; Valerie Madill, 90-87 - 177; Liga Di Matteo, 91-91 - 182; Sandy Barron, 90-93 - 183; and Luanne Cher- ney, 92-93 -185. Always powerful Ohio State leads the field by seven strokes over second- place Minnesota. The Gophers, however, have the top player in Nancy Harris, who fired blistering rounds of 71, and 76. Tigers 7, Red Sox 4 DETROIT (AP) - Wayne Krenchicki and Larry Herndon doubled to key a three-run fifth inning as the Detroit 1-0 in the second when he singled and went to second on Chet Lemon's groun- der, then scored on a single by Rick Leach. In the Detroit fifth, Leach was safe on a fielder's choice grounder that forced Lemon and scored on Krenchicki's double. Krenchicki went to third on shortstop Glenn Hoffman's throwing error tryint to catch Leach at the plate and scored on Lou Whitaker's grounder back to Boston pitcher Dennis Ecker- sley, 8-13. Whitaker went all the way to second when Eckersley threw the ball wild at first, stole third and scored on a double by Herndon. Two of the Tigers' three runs in the fifth were unearned. ECKERSLEY, who beat Detroit ace Jack Morris last Saturday in Boston, gave up nine hits while striking out three and walking one. Boggs, the top hitter in the American League, collected three hits in four at bats, giving him 201 hits for the season and making him the seventh player in Boston history to get 200 hits or more a season. Pena followed with a solo home run as the Pittsburgh Pirates, riding the three- hit pitching of Rick Rhoden, defeated the Montreal Expos 10-1 last night. Dodgers 11, Brares 2 ATLANTA (AP) - Dusty Baker blasted a home run and knocked in four runs and Ken Landreaux also homered and drove in three as the Los Angeles Dodgers buried Atlanta 11-2 last night, stretching their National League West lead to 5 games over the Braves. The Dodgers reduced their magic number for clinching the division title to five as they continued their mastery over Atlanta, lifting their season lead to 11-5.
