By SCOTT SALOWICH
Another weekend of tough Big Ten
competition is on tap for the
Michigan men's tennis team as they
take on Northwestern today with
Iowa coming to town tomorrow.
The Northwestern squad is headed
by team captain Jon Kamisar at
number one singles who, along with
Danny Weiss at number two,
received all-Big Ten honors last
season.
"Jon and Danny are the keys to our.
team," said Wildcat coach Paul
Torricelli, "but it's really a balance
thing. You've got to pick up points
all the way through."
Torricelli expects a tight match
which may hinge on one or two in-
dividual contests.
"Depth and doubles will be
critical," he said.
MICHIGAN coach Brian Eisner
also foresees acclose contest and is
concerned about the advantage the
Wildcats have in experience over his
younger squad.

"They tied for second in the con-
ference last year and almost the
whole team is back," he said. "They
are a very solid veteran team and it
should be a very tough match."
Iowa sports an impressive 15-4
season record and, like Michigan, is
1-1 in the conference.
"IOWA is not quite as strong (as
Northwestern), but they are very
balanced," said Eisner. "They have
a good team and are much deeper
than Iowa teams of the past. We
can't afford to take them for gran-
ted."
Hawkeyes will start Mike Inman
at number one singles with Sunil
Reddy at number two.
Eisner compared this weekend's
competition to last weekend, when
the Wolverines fell to Illinois and
then whipped Purdue the next day,
and said his team has made some
"necessary improvement'' during
practice this week to prepare for the
upcoming matches.

that he is coming into a sort of extended
family, then that's what you're looking
for."
OF COURSE, recruiting is only one
part of the process. Eisner coaches his
players over a four-year span, and feels
he must maintain the intimacy and
camaraderie begun while recruiting.
"A coach has to be concerned not only
with competing because athletes want
concern day in and day out," he said.
In Eisner's formula, this concern is
constantly positive, no matter what the
situation. "The coach can't be down on
his own players," Eisner said. "If he is,
he's doing irreparable damage.
"EVERYTHING must be done from
an unbelievably positive standpoint
Negativism casts a shadow that can't
be lifted."
That shadow results directly from a
coach's emotion, in Eisner's thinking.
If the coach is negative, he is tran-
sferring his disappointment to the
players. And when the ultimate goal is
winning, there's no room for
pessimism.
As Eisner put it, "Because of the
level of competition, you always have to
be in a position to win."
THE PLAYERS confirm their
coach's optimism and concern.
Sophomore Hugh Kwok said, "He's
the most positive man I've ever met. He
knows us so well; Brian understands."
Senior Rodd Schreiber added, "Even
in losses, instead of the wrong things,
he looks at what's right. It's always the
bright picture. He's probably the most
positive person."
YET, WITH such an integral role,
how does Eisner accomplish all that he
deems necessary? He makes it clear
that the Wolverines are a solid unit - in
all areas.
"It's not my team," said Eisner, "it's
our team. I'm not the one doing all the
coaching. I have to motivate (players)
to take on responsibility for them-
selves, because who is ultimately the
most important coach? - the players.
The coach has to delegate respon-
sibility."
Eisner knowshis system is unique.
Among the common practices of
coaches, he cites one of his greatest ob-
jections in the way many coaches con-
in'8
awaiting decision by the Supreme
Court.
IF THE COURT rules against the
NCAA, the current network contract
would be invalid.
CBS college sports information direc-
tor, Mark Carlson, admitted that all the
network is doing right now is setting up
four special telecast dates, one prime
time and three at the end of the season,
and waiting for the Supreme Court
ruling.
"We have to wait and see whether the
NCAA or the CFA (College Football
Association) or some other group con-
trols college football next season before
we can plan our schedule," said
Carlson, who declined to mention which
games are being considered for the yet
to-be-named prime time telecast in
September. But Carlson added, "Miami
and Michigan would be a bad game
because Miami plays twice before that
and could be 0-2."

struct their lineup through intra-team

"IN THAT situation," Eisner said,
"players are practicing against each
other when they should be practicing
with each other. It creates animosity
between players."
Eisner's system, on the other hand,
works at improvement, no on-the-spot
competition among teammates.
"You have to define a player's style,
add to it, change it and practice on
specific things to improve it," he said.
EISNER FEELS that many teams
fall short of success because , their
coaches lack what it takes.
"All athletes want to improve,"
he said, "but 95 percent have no idea
how to, and 90 percent have coaches
that don't know what to do."

coach's job relates to understanding his
players. "The coach must thoroughly
understand what makes (a player) tick.
He must see into all the psychological
areas of a player."
ABOVE ALL, the process is what

The portable light towers will not be
rising above Michigan Stadium for the
first time ever next season after all.
Following speculation that one of the
networks would ask Michigan to play
one of its 1984 games at night for a
national television audience, athletic
director Don Canham has decided that
he will no longer change the starting
time of any of next season's games
because of the inconvenience to fans
that would result from changing the hour
of kickoff this close to the date of the
contest.
The Wolverines' first two games this
fall are against defending national
champion Miami and perennial Pac 10
powerhouse Washington. Both contests

would appear to be attractive television
draws.
"THE NETWORKS asked if we
would consider moving the Miami
game to night," said Canham, "and
ABC asked if we would move the
Washington game to September 1. We
wouldn't mind doing that, but they
couldn't guarantee television coverage
and that was the only way that
Washington would agree to do it.
"But we've printed the tickets and
schedules and we're not going to
change anything now. All the games
will go on as scheduled."
The networks that have covered
NCAA football, the last two years, ABC
and CBS,- are having trouble picking
their broadcast schedule for next
season because of the anti-trust case
filed against the NCAA by the Univer-
sity of Georgia and Oklahoma Univer-
sity arguing the NCAA's monopoly on
football television contracts. The suit is
