Up 14-12 in the fifth game against a tough Indiana squad, the Wolverines let their nerves get to them, suffered a mental breakdown and lost to a Hoosier team which rookie coach Barb Canning, coaching only her second big Ten match, figured to be mediocre. "WHEN THEY were playing well," commented Canning, "they were much better than I anticipated, and it was costly." So costly, in fact, that the Hoosiers were able to capitalize on several early Michigan mistakes to build an enviable two games-to-one lead midway through the evening. Still, the Wolverines had several opportunities to put away their opponents - or at least gain some valuable momentum - but failed because of a myriad of mental mistakes. And you can bet Michigan knew who beat who in this disappoin- tLing defeat. "OUR TEAM was responsible for this loss," said Canning, whose squad fell to 0-2 in the Big Ten and 7-2 overall. "We weren't outplayed tonight, we beat ourselves." Junior setter Andrea Williams echoed Canning's sentiments. "I can't understand why we lost tonight," said the former setter for Canadian National team. "I know we missed a lot of serves and we didn't take advantage of a lot of oppor- tunities. I think everyone was nervous and stopped being as aggressive as they should have been.' Buoyed by the intensity of Big Ten competition, Michigan showed plenty of aggression in the early going. The Wolveri- nes jumped out to 5-1 lead in game one, and seemed to be in control. After an Indiana flurry, Michigan was up 12-6 and coasted home to a 15-8 victory and one-game lead. IN THE second game, however, several mis-hits and a lot of confusion fueled a Hoosier advance, and the women from Indiana coasted to a 15-7 win. Desperately needing a shot in the arm, Michigan got it from sophomore Jayne Hickman and freshman Heather Olsen. After two separate side-outs, each reached back and slammed Indiana with rocket serves to give the Wolverines a 7-2 lead. From there, the club faltered. The Hoosiers rallied to a 16- 16 tie, gained some key points and bumped Michigan 19-17. "WE HAD the momentum and the score," said junior power-hitter Jenny Hickman, "but a couple of things hap- pened, we lost our confidence and our momentum and that was the beginning of the end." It didn't look that way for a while when the Wolverines pummelled Indiana, 15-3, in the fourth game after Canning inserted serving specialist Kathy Arnold. "I knew (after the third game) what kind of serving we needed," said Canning. "We went from soft placing serves to hard driving ones." But the physical adjustments just weren't enough, and Canning was at a loss to alter her club's mental disarray. Pennant fever???

(AP) - A fiesty -John McEnroe methodically disposed of 19-year-old Pat Cash in straight sets yesterday to give the United States an early 1-0 lead over defending champion Australia in the semifinals of the Davis Cup. McEnroe's 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 victory was accompanied by his animated and per- sistent complaints about line calls- tactics that appeared to rattle the Australian teenager. Two of the heavily favored American's service breaks came after McEnroe argued with the umpire. McENROE, the world's No. 1 ranked player who has led the United States to the Davis Cup championship in four of the past six years, broke Cash's service once ir each of the first two sets. McEnroe never lost his serve in the match. The young Australian, ranked seven- th in the world, had faced McEnroe only once before, in the semifinals this year at Wimbledon, with McEnroe winning 6-3,7-6,6-4. McEnroe, who boosted his career Davis Cup record to 33-5, will team with Peter Fleming against Australia's Mc- Namee and Mark Edmondson in Satur- day's doubles.
