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 Tarpl-v ... second half of 'M' skyline McCormick, .. key to inside game the ball inside and out-rebound them," said 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."

Nett ers redesign Calvin , nrr i By PHIL NUSSEL 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.
