Women's Volleyball vs. Purdue Friday at CCRB The Michigan Daily SPORTS Wednesday, October 26, 1983 Michigan-Illinois Football CBS Television Saturday Kickoff 12:35 EDT Page 7 Spikersfall to MSU By KATIE BLACKWELL Even though the two teams were evenly matched, as was the score, going into the fifth game of last night's Michigan-Michigan State volleyball match at the CCRB, one team had to lose. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, despite a strong comeback in the fourth game, they folded in the final game under a strong Spartan attack and lost the match 3-2. "I REALLY don't know what happened," said coach Sandy Vong. "There was a mental lapse in the middle two games." What happened was a Spartan team that was out to win and a Michigan team that just was not on target. The Wolverines fought hard in the first game, coming from behind most of the game. Michigan State, paced by the serving expertise of Gina Conroy, took a quick 10-6 lead until seniors Sue Rogers and Alison Noble came alive with some overpowering spikes that kept bringing the ball back to Michigan's side of the net. JEANNE Weckler tied the game at 11 with serves that the Spartans-couldn't haidle. Jennifer Hickman followed up with some nice shots that put Michigan over the top with the aid of a Noble spike, 15-12. For the next two games, the Wolverines were off target. Spikes were too long, blocks failed and serves fell short, and the Spartan's capitalized on the Wolverines' mistakes. In the second game, the Wolverines went ahead 4-1, but Conroy struck again with the score going to 6-5 behind her consistently strong serves. The score jockeyed back and forth between the teams until game point, with the score 14-13 in favor of State. Spartan junior, Jane Zenner, smashed a hard service that put an end to the struggle. The Wolverines' problems peaked in game three. State's strong blocking consistently foiled the Michigan hitters, stopping potential Wolverine scoring opprortunities and retrieving the ball for Spartan servers. BUT THE Wolverines were not out of the contest yet. Down 7-2 at one point in the fourth game, Michigan rallied and the Spartans faltered. Hickman a ive ... led the revitalized Wolverine play with some tremen- dous spikes and saves. With the score 14-13 in Michigan's favor, Hickman stepped up to the service line and put the Spartans away. The final stanza was a tough one as both teams fought hard for the match, but Michigan State inched out the points after a long 3-3 stalemate early in the game. Once again, the Wolverines did not look sharp in their shots and the Spartans placed the ball where the Wolverines weren't chalking up the game and the match with a 15-8 victory. "At this point in the season, the kids are awfully tired," said Vong. "They've been playing very hard and hanging in there. State just wanted it a little bit more than we did. "Overall, their defense is a bit stronger than ours. The team is let down. They realize that their chances of going to the Big Ten tournament are pretty small." The loss drops Michigan to 4-8 in Big Ten play with Purdue coming into town on Friday night for a 7 p.m. match at the CCRB. "Purdue is a strong team," said Vong. "We'll have to play our very best."

MSU beat the Blue, three games to two. Gopher coach quits By LISA NOFERI Unlike the overcast sky that threatened to make yesterday a dreary day, Michigan shined as it stopped a "more experienced" Central Michigan team 1-0 in field hockey action at Ferry Field. Despite the win, Michigan assistant Aoach Karen Collins, was dissatisfied ~with her team's effort. "I WAS SATISFIED with the passing today, but not with the score," said Collins. "We gave up a lot of oppor- tunities in the circle." With passes from link Kay McCarthy, and sweeper Bridget Sickon, the Michigan forward line was able to con- trol the ball ten feet outside the Chip- pewa's circle for the majority of the ame. The Wolverines scored the game's only goal seventeen minutes into the first half, that was marked by the ver- satile play of forwards Lisa Schofield and Kim Liu. Schofield interchanged positions with Liu and made a long sideline pass down the right side of the field. The ball went into the low corner of the field and was manuvered to mid- circle where link Jane Nixon fired I was satisfied with the passing today, but not the score.' - Michigan assistant coach Karen Collins on her Wolverines' 1-0 victory over CMU yesterday straight on goal for the score. CENTRAL HAD four chances to tie the score before the end of the half but came away empty-handed. Michigan goalie Jonnie Terry stopped Chippewa link Lori Brzezick's shot on goal and a long Central breakaway and two corner opportunities were also unsuccessful. Chippewa coach Mary Bottaro was also unhappy with yesterday's out- come. "We didn't-dominate as much today as in our last game against (Michigan)," said Bottaro. HOWEVER, Central did show im- provement in allowing only a total of two goals in the team's two contests as compared to the eight goals surren- dered last year. Bottaro credits the ex- perience of 12 returning players from last year's squad in helping to hold Michigan's goal production to a more respectable level. The second half of the contest belonged to Central's goalie, Lynn Ridinger who was praised by both coaches for her play. "She had an exceptionable game," said Bottaro who referred to a blind save made by Ridinger minutes intosthe second half, on a short deflected shot by forward Joan Taylor off a Maura Brueger pass. In the second half, Brueger was in bet- ter control of the ball and her passes, despite heavy pressure from Central's sweeper. Although Michigan succeeded yesterday in its pursuit of a better possession game, it was unable to make that control count where it is needed most - deep in the circle in front of the goal. McCarthy and Schofield con- tinued to exhibit fine play with passes that utilized both sides of the field. But Michigan failed to connect when rushing close on goal. "We're waiting for the ball to come back out (of the goal) instead of rushing in with back-up behind," said Brueger. A total of eight game corners, four in the last 10 minutes, were the most ad- vantageous scoring opportunities for Michigan. But a lack of quick coor- dination and extra effort among the players in the circle could not put more points on the scoreboard, and the Wolverines had to settle for their one goal victory. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Joe Salem, coach of the University of Minnesota's 1-6 football team, yesterday announced' his resignation, effective at the end of the 1983 season. Salem had one year left on his con- tract with the school. His resignation had been rumored for weeks as the Golden Gophers lost by large margins to their Big Ten opponents and to top ranked Nebraska by a score of 84-17. That defeat set a record for the most points ever scored against a major college team. "It was a difficult decision for me to make," Salem said. "I don't like admit- ting that I didn't get the job done. But I'm a Golden Gopher and I'm loyal to the university. I feel that it would be better for everyone involved if I resigned now." Salem posted records at Minnesota of 4-6-1, 5-6, 6-5, and 3-8 prior to 1983. Min- nesota has lost six straight since beating Rice and is scheduled to meet Michigan State Saturday at Lansing before closing against Illinois, Michigan and Iowa. Congressional reaction varies on invasion (Continued from Page 1) any question it has about the safety of Americans in Grenada." "Even if there is a legitimate question of safety for Americans in Grenada, and a need for U.S. forces to help those who wish to leave to do so, there is no legitimate reason beyond tat for our forces to be there," Levin said. LEVIN ADDED that "there is no legitimate reason for the U.S. to seek to overthrow other governments that we don't like." He also disagreed with President Reagan's announced intention "to assist in the restoration of law and or- der and of governmental institu- tions.. ." in Grenada. "The Soviet Union has no right to im- pose its will upon the will of Poland," Levin said. "How, then, at the same time, can we insist that we have the right to impose our way of life upon another people in our hemisphere?" SOME LIBERAL Democrats said that they suspect the Reagan ad- ministration is using the safety of Americans on the island as a pretext for attempting to eliminate a Marxist government from the Caribbean. "If Americans are in danger," said Reb. Peter Kostmayer (D-Pa.), "the Civil rights groups criticize firings United States government has an obligation to do all it can. The question is were they in danger or was this used as a pretext for the invasion." Parents of students in Grenada ap- pealed to the White House Monday "not to take 'any precipitous and provocative action' because they had been assured by the Grenadian gover- nment that their children were safe." However, Illinois Senator Charles Percy said the Americans "were en- dangered. The island was in chaos.

The firing leaves the commission without its required quorum of four, $neaning it cannot even meet until at east one more member is confirmed by the Senate. REACTION TO Reagan's move was swift. "We are appalled by the abrupt firing of three dedicated servants of civil rights," said John Jacob, president of tne National Urban League. "The ad- ministration's move is an insult to the civil rights community and to the -ongress which has been searching for ways to preserve an effective Civil Rights Commission." Joaquin Avila, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, said the firing was "Both illegal and destructive to the fabric of civil rights." Avila said the fired commissioners' "only fault has been to denounce publicly this administration's efforts to dismantle federal civil rights enfor- cement." Negotiations have been under way in the Senate toward a compromise that would expand the commission, allowing the current members to remain on the job and some of Reagan's nominees to be sworn in. Reagan said he had agreed to several compromise offers, but that they were blocked by critics. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), a Judiciary Committee mem- ber active in the dispute over the com- mission, said he was disappointed by the firings because "we were very close to working out a compromise." Specter joined with Sens. Joseph Biden (D-Del.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) in an effort to reconstitute the commission as an eight-member panel named by the Senate and House.
