Bo sees no 'M' blowout (Continued from Page 9) The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, October2, 1984- Page7 There's a place for you in the Michigan Student Assembly ference is too evenly matched to provide many blowouts. The Spartans come into Michigan Stadium with a 1-3 record, ,including close losses to Notre Dame and Purdue. Schembechler was quick to point out that MSU is still quite a threat in the Big Ten. "When you lose by four, or by three, you're in there," said the 16-year Wolverine boss. "I don't think that the Illinois game (the Spartans lost 40-7) is in- dicative of anything. They're a good team." THE WOLVERINES will return some key injured players this week. All-Big Ten middle guard Al Sincich is scheduled to start after missing two contests with lower back problems. Doug Mallory, also out with a back injury, is likely to see ac- tidn Saturday at free safety, taking the injured Tony Gant's spot. Also expected to be back at full strength this week are tailbacks Gerald White and Rick Rogers. According to Schembechler, White and Rogers were not 100 percent again- st Indiana. With both Gant and Mallory missing form the line-up, Schembechler started Erik Campbell in the secondary.. 'Campbell is a freshman who didn't play defense in a game in his life," Schembechler said with a laugh. Michigan originally recruited Campbell as a receiver and a kick retur- ner, but he is now listed second behind Mallory at free safety. SATURDAY is the 77th meeting between Michigan and Michigan State. The game is expected to be a defensive struggle but no matter what the strategy, or the outcome, it is sure to be a typical Wolverine-Spartan contest. "It'll be an emotional game - it always is," said Schembechler. "I don't see us as being anything but highly enthusiastic. I think they'll be the same way." BLUE BANTER: The Wolverineshave allowed just 10 points in the first half so far this season. Washington scored them all on a field goal in the first quarter and a rushing TD in the second. Michigan has outscored the opposition 26-10 in the first half this year, but trails in second half play, 44-41. . . After four games this year, Michigan has scored 67 points. At the same time last year, the Wolverines had racked up 125. If he continues at his current pace, quarterback Jim Har- baugh will pass Steve Smith as Michigan's single-season leader in pass completions. Smith had 118 in 1982. Harbaugh is at 53. He could also pass by Dennis Brown's 299 pass at- tempts in 1968. Harbaugh has thrown 97 times thus far. -N We're working with you and for you on issues that concern us - including financial aid, affirma- tive action, campus safety, teaching quality and University decision-making. fPerles laments (Continued from Page 9) THE ANSWER for the Spartans seems to be a simple one. If you're going to run the ball 69 percent of the time, you've got to start holding on to it. MSU began taking steps in that direction yesterday. "We've been hitting them (the running backs) with dum- mies in drills all year and emphasizing it (not fumbling) from day one," Perles said. "This week we'll have the scout team defense start trying to punch the ball out of the offen- MSU turnovers se's hands. "Other than that, there isn't a whole lot we can do besides continuing to emphasize two hands on the football and con- centration in a crowd. We've got to emphasize that but not to the point where it takes away a good back's ability to run with the football. You have to remember that when you get a helmet hitting smack on the ball, which has happened a lot to us this year, most people are going to fumble." msM consists of 39 elected members and many, many volunteers.

"There have been no negotiations today at all," Richie Phillips, attorney eaten to skip playoffs for the -union, said in Philadelphia. "We're waiting to hear from them. We met last night in New York for several hours and they said they would get back tome." Yesterday was new Commissioner Peter Ueberroth's first day on the job and he said he would not interfere with any negotiations. But he said an agreement still was possible and he vowed the playoffs would go on regar- dless, with "somebody out there to call the game," be they amateurs, minor league or regular umpires. The best-of-five playoffs start today in both the American and National Leagues. * MSA News - an alternative bi-weekly journal providing in-depth analyses of campus and non-campus issues. 9 Advice - Academic Development Via Instructor and Course Evaluation.

The Houston Ballet Com- pany, under the direction of Ben Stevenson, did a superb job last weekend. .If there were any major flaws, the audience was too mesmerized to notice. The company performed two evenings of great contrast. The first evening consisted of three ballets with a variety of modern material. The first was choreographed to a lively tune by Joseph Haydn. The ballet itself was titled "Symphony in D." It was an excellent number to begin the perfor- mance because the audience loved it. It was uncanningly witty and sar- castic. Stevenson has to have a great sense of humor to have choreographed something like this. The ballet even had some humor every dancer would understand, including a pun created from the ballet "Swan Lake." * Hiller Huhn, Stevenson's assistant, remarked, "It is just like telling a joke. If the dancers do not perform the punch line correctly, the audience will miss it." The second ballet, for which Steven- son won first prize for modern choreography at Varna's International Ballet competition, is titled "Three Preludes." The number consisted of two dancers, a ballet barre, and one overhead light which created a series of twisted, in- triguing shadows. The dancers were dressed in gray adding to the dark effect that made this ballet possibly the most expressive piece of the three. The third ballet, titled "Etudes" was more on the classical side. It began at the barre showing techniques and exer- cises. As the movement progressed, Stevenson developed these techniques into a number. Huhn commented on the fact that this was one of the most dif- ficult ballets to perform. "They may be doing exercises they do in class everyday, but here, they have to all look the same." Each dan- cer's costume was either black or white. Black and white costumes play an important role in the ballet "Swan Lake" which, interestingly enough, was the performance for the second evening. This production showed how far Stevenson has come from his begin- nings in Houston in 1976 to producing one of the greatest ballet companies in the United States. Here was an example of a flawless performance. Both swans, Oddette and Odile, were performed by Rachell Jonell Beard. Odette, the white swan, falls in love with a handsome young prince while Odile, the black swan, at- tempts to trick the prince out of the af- fair. Beard was outstanding. Her balance was solid, her technique was perfect, and her extensions were beautiful, especially in her arms. She fulfilled this role not just by dancing the swan, but by being the swan. Stevenson is the first person ever to'place both Odette and Odille at the same time on stage. The prince, danced by Dennis Poole, is very talented. The amount of turns he can produce in one sequence is enough to make anyone dizzy. The two of them worked very well together. They looked pleased with their perfor- mance when it was over. The scenes and costumes were especially beautiful and added dramatic effects to the ballet. The audience acknowledged this im- mediately after the curtain was raised for Act III, the Ballroom of the Castle. venturous The ending was very dramatic, especially because the acting abilities were so strong. Odile fails because Odette's love for the prince is too strong. They live happily ever after, of course.
