Six current and former Michigan athletes, and a former rowing instructor here, earned medals. Beginning today the Daily will feature Michigan's Olympic athletes. By PHIL NUSSEL Brian Diemer is an exhausted man. Since the former Michigan cross country runner won a bronze medal in the Olympics last month in the 3000-meter steeplechase, he has been on a 10-meet tour of Europe. He returned last Thursday to his home in Grand Rapids. IN EUROPE, Diemer continued to improve his times despite the exten- sive traveling and jet lags. He won the steeplechase in Berlin, finished michigan s medalsts featured eastern bloc competition. Since returning, Diemer has decided to rest for about a month. "I'm not going to run a step for a month," he said. Over the past few months, Diemer's goals have changed many times. His coach and Michigan's head cross country coach, Ron Warhurst, said, "Originally, he just wanted to make the (Olympic) team. Then he wanted to make the finals. He was quite confident. For him, it was a dream come true." the games were ready to begin. The village had everything for the athletes from video games to movies. But when his event began, Diemer was all business. The steeplechase race was a thriller, with Diemer starting slow then moving in to claim third place at the finish line. He just nipped teammate Henry Marsh, who had recorded a faster time than Diemer going into the race, to take the bronze. Although some athletes' victories turned them into media stars, Diemer's Olympic experience was anything but an ego trip. Glory won't be his finest memory. "I think I'll remember that my family was there, Carrie's (his wife)family was there, and everybody I knew was there. It was a real team effort." him at the airport. Diemer remarked, "I'm going to start out slowly and be a normal person for a change." ber for the Tigers to seven. Any com- bination of Detroit victories and losses by Toronto totaling seven will clinch the American League East championship for the Tigers. DAN PETRY 17-8, who blanked the Orioles for 19 innings this season before yielding Rick Dempsey's career-high 10th homer in the fifth, was chased in the seventh before Doug Bair snuffed out the rally. Willie Hernandez pitched the ninth for Detroit. The Tigers had three straight two-out hits to finish Baltimore starter Bill PETRY, WHO beat the Orioles fob the third time this season, was lifted in the seventh after an RBI double by Dempsey and a two-out single by Mike Young. Bair then induced Cal Ripken Jr. to hit into a force. The 22-game hitting streak off, Baltimore's Eddie Murray, which set a club record, came to an end. He walked twice and grounded out twice. Barbaro Garbey had a runscorin.j single and another run scored in the ninth on an error by Ripken. Diemer .. . time for breather Wolverines continue climb From staff reports Don't tell Bo Schembechler, but his Wolverines are on the move up the polls again - this time to third in the Associate Press' weekly tally. Michigan took a jump in the AP poll worthy of the leap Schembechler took after Saturday's win over Miami. Bo's boys went from 14th to third in writers' rankings. Monday night college foot- ball's other prestigious poll, the UPI, named the Wolverines as the nation's second best team. - MICHIGAN PICKED up three first- place votes in the AP poll, four UPI. Nebraska is number one in both polls. Both after Saturday's game and during Monday's press. conference, Schembechler emphasized that the polls are relatively meaningless this early in the season. Miami was ranked first going into the Michigan game. The loss dropped the Hurricanes into a tie for fifth in the AP poll and eighth UPI. THE LAST TIME the Wolverines were ranked this high was in 1981. The Wolverines spent a short time at the top, however, as Wisconsin knocked them off their perch with a 21-14 win in the season-opener. polls. The Huskies defeated North- western in their season opener. Other Big Ten teams in the top twenty are Iowa (fifth in both polls) and Ohio State (ninth AP, 11th UPI).
