"These visions are running through the min-

Itow. But to keep their hopes of advancing to
New York City for the semi-finals of the
National Invitational Tournament from
r.ashing down like the ball on New Year's
lve, the Wolverines must beat Xavier tonight
4Crisler Arena.
BEFORE THEY do that, they have to find
who and where is Xavier?
Xavier University may only be a small
school of 6500 students in Cincinnati, but their
basketball team has beaten some pretty big-
name teams this season. Some of the
Musketeers victims include Marquette (82-68
in overtime), Oral Roberts twice,(89-86 in
overtime, and 78-76) and Dayton (72-61). The
latter two teams went to' the NCAA while
Marquette saw its season come to an end in
Ann Arbor Monday night.
Little Xavier University has continued to be
a giant killer so far in the NIT. After topping
Ohio State 60-57 in the first round, the
Musketeers beat Nebraska 58-57 to earn a trip
up 1-75 to Michigan.
HOWEVER, by taking to the road, the
Musketeers will lose the backing of the home
crowd that helped {them squeak by in the
opening rounds.
"The roar of the crowd at the defensive end
really stimulated us," said Xavier coach Bob
Staak. "The fans here (in Cincinnati) really
get into the game."
-Staak, however, will find that Michigan
fans also get into the game, especially after
the way their team has been playing recently.
THE WOLVERINES haven't had a close
game yet in the NIT, and unlike during the
regular season, everyone on the team is con-
tributing. Against Marquette center Tim
McCormick led the team with 21 points while
four other Michigan players scored in double
figures.
If McCormick turns in a performance at all

Michigan mentor Bill Frieder. "They like to
press and run so I look for a high scoring
game.
LEADING THE Musketeer break will be
Victor Fleming, who's twin brother Vern
plays 'for Georgia. Fleming averages over 14
points a game and has been shooting .540 from
the field all year.
But the main man in the Musketeer attack
is center Jeff Jenkins. The senior from
Newark, New Jersey, whom Frieder thinks
will be drafted in the first or second round in
the NBA, has been on a tear lately. Jenkins
scored.30 points and pulled in 11 rebounds
against the Buckeyes and then added an 18-
point performance against the Cornhuskers.
Thus, Michigan will have to see its way past
a gritty Xavier club before it can entertain
thoughts of seeing the Empire State Building.
"My concern is that our players respect
them with the same respect they had for
Marquette and Wichita State," added
Frieder. "They're a sound basketball team
and we have to iake sure we don't look past
them."

Call it a blowout, call it a smoke-out,
call if one-sided, call it what you want
because the Michigan women's tennis
team completely dominated Calvin
College, 9-0, last night at theTrack and
Tennis Building.
The Wolverines completed their first
shutout of the year without surren-
dering a set and only yielding 17 games.
Second singles player Paula Reichert
was first off the court with a 6-0, 6-0
drubbing of Jan Boerema. The
sophomore from Grosse Point Farms,
now 7-8, on the year, needed only 45
minutes to complete her work.
"I really didn't have a plan because
she wasn't too strong," Reichert said.
"I just tried to play consistent..
"I was also trying some new things. It
was kind of an experiment."
The other five singles matches were
also easy Wolverine victories. Mary
Mactaggart (9-6) downed Tawnie
Knottnerus 6-1, 6-1 at first singles. At
third singles, Karen Milczarski (3-9)
handled Jennifer Bowden and at fourth,
Monica Borcherts 3-5 beat freshman
Elizabeth Webb. Ann Mazure and
Trisha Horn both won their first mat-
ches of the season at the fifth and sixth
spots, respectively.
Horn, a freshman, said that she was a
little tentative in her collegiate debut,
but also added, "I concentrated well. I
wish I could have hit out more."
Despite the ease of the victory,
Michigan coach Ollie Owens said the
lopsided victory may not be good for the
team.
"It can give a lot of confidence or
kind of an over-confidence for the next
match," he said. "It doesn't keep you
real sharp, so you just hope that beating
people so badly will give you that much
confidence."
Mactaggart, upset last week at
Eastern Michigan, said, "(An easy
match) helps you because you have to
concentrate more. You can ever un-
derestimate anybody because that's
when you get in trouble."
The doubles matches were also
Wolverine-dominated. Mactaggart and
Jane Silfen, playing together for the fir-
st time this season, defeated Knotterus
and Boerema 6-1, 6-2 while Milczarski
and Rayne Lamey downed Bowden and
Webb 6-2, 6-0.
At third doubles, walk-ons Katie
Tarascuk and Mary Jo Raftery won
their first match of the year, 8-3 over
Robin Groot and Tracy Honeywell.

Nancy Van Noord, has not been able to

have good practice sessions because
the team's eight players have had only
one court to play one - and that was a
hardwood fjoor. The team only has
practiced on normal indoor courts once
a week. Noord's team is also young,
featuring five freshman.
The Wolverines, now 4-6 overall for
the season, will start a seven-match
road trip tomorrow when they travel to
Kalamazoo to meet a strong Western
