The weekly Daily line
The cream has risen to the top in the
Daily Line. After two weeks Mike
McGraw is sitting pretty with a 14-6
record. Everything is looking up these
days for the senior economics major
from Lincolnshire, Ill., as his beloved
Cubbies are also on the verge of
something special.
And look who has taken over second
place, Bo's sweetheart, Katie Black-
well at 13-7. "I'm a woman competing
against mere boys," is how Blackwell
describes her success.
New Yorker Levy: "There
is no way a girl from Trenton,
Mi., can consistently beat
me."
Paul Helgren is sinking fast
at 9-11.
Thanks. should be given to
last week's guest, basketball
coach Bill Frieder. Frieder
went an even 5-5 and admit- La
tedly had a great time.
This week the Daily Line features
special guest Barry Larkin, Michigan's
first-team All-American shortstop. A
junior from Cincinatti, Oh., Larkin has
done it all in his first two seasons as a
Wolverine.
Last year he overcame an early
season injury to lead the team in bat-
ting with a .363 average. As a freshman
Larkin batted .352.
Larkin was a member of the 1984
United States Olympic team that won
the silver medal in Los
Angeles, playing second base
as well as shortstop.
Larkin was drafted in the
second round of the June 1982
draft by the Cincinnati Reds
but turned down a $100,000
contract, so he could play .for
the Wolverines.

When the Big Ten entered the 1980's,
its football teams became more pass
oriented in an effort to create more
balance within the conference.
Wisconsin, Michigan's opponent
tomorrow, was able to keep in tune with
this trend thanks to a tall and speedy
wide receiver from Newport News, Va.,
Al Toon.
NOW WISCONSIN boasts one of the
strongest offenses in the conference,
one that exploded for four touchdowns
in the fourth quarter to produce an ex-
citing 35-34 victory at Missouri last
Saturday.
In that game, Toon caught nine
passes for 117 yards and two final-
period touchdowns to spur the
comeback.
Badger coach Dave{ McClain has
known for a few years that jhaving a
man as dangerous as Toon on thefield
can ignite the entire offense.
"IF YOU single cover Al, I don't
think you can stop him," said McClain.
"His main role is to score touchdowns,
but with his ability, we can do a lot of
things with him."
And in his career at Madison, Toon
has done a lot. In addition to catching 88
passes for 17 touchdowns, a Wisconsin
record, Toon has rushed the ball on oc-
casion and even threw a 40-yard TD
pass against Michigan State in 1982. But
he doesn't concern himself with how of-
ten he touches the ball.
"I would just like to be involved
enough to win," said the 6-4, 195-
pounder. "The coaches will utilize me

THE COACHES' formula of throwing
the ball in Toon's direction worked to
perfection against Missouri, but the
man who did the tossing, quarterback
Mike Howard, revealed that it wasn't
necessarily planned that way.
"Al's a fantastic receiver and it
might seem that at times we are
definitely trying to stick the ball in to Al,"
said Howard, who is in his first season
as starter, replacing Randy Wright,
now with the Green Bay Packers. "But
we have three great receivers with Al,
Thad McFadden, and Michael Jones.
Last week it just worked out that Al got
the most catches."
What helps make Toon so hard for
defensive backs to cover is his tremen-
dous jumping ability. He is able to

..j , keeps Badgers in step
jump champion and qualified for the'
Olympic trials this summer in the
event, but couldn't compete due to an
injury.
He also was in the middle of the
major controversy at last spring's con-
ference track meet. Toon, this time
competing in the long jump, placed
fourth. But the meet officials measured
his jump in feet instead of meters, as.
required for the team standings.
WHEN TOON'S jump was converted
into metric, he was awarded third best
and the extra points given to Wisconsin
as a result were enough to edge Indiana
by one point. The Hoosiers had already
driven back to Bloomington with .the
trophy, but following an investigation in
to the incident, the Badgers were
named Big Ten Champions.
If Toon is to equal that title in foot-
ball, a win tomorrow would be a vital
step. Bo Schembechler has already
named Toon is the most dangerous
receiver in the Big Ten.
So, if the Wolverines are going to shut
down the powerful Wisconsin offense,
they must first catch Toon.
