ARVIDSON Jenne and Jayne Hickman are two important cogs that turn the wheels of the Michigan women's volleyball team. The Hickmans are warm people who have advanced confidently in the direc- tion of their dreams. The dream of playing volleyball at Michigan danced in the Hickman sisters' minds as they were growing up in Howell; a cozy, small town nestled in mid-southern Michigan. Jenne' s voice reverberates with a magical en- thusiasm when she reflects, "My gran- dfather and mom went to the U-M and it was a dream come true when Jayne and I both enrolled here." JENNE A junior majoring in graphic design, has been one of Michigan's star- ting outside hitters for the past two seasons. However, she has been rid- dled by an onslaught of injuries during her tenure at Michigan. This year has not been an exception as an ankle in- jury has hampered her play. Nevertheless, Jenne will play in pain. "I've been resting my ankle during some of the non-conference matches in an effort to be able to play in the Big Ten battles," she said. Jenne knows the Michigan game and the strategies of the other conference squads inside and out and she adds, "I have by far the biggest mouth on the team." BARB CANNING, the women's volleyball coach, said, "Jenne is definitely a leader on the floor and she is the fiery sparkplug that every team needs to be successful." Canning points out that Jayne, a sophomore majoring in exercise physiology, doesn't yet have the ex- plosiveness and control of her older sister on the hardwood, but feels she will develop those traits in time. "Jayne is more relaxed and easygoing than Jenne," emphasizes Canning, "while Jenne is as emotional off the court as she is on it. Jenne has a lot of energy and gives everything during a match." JAYNE WAS a starter at middle blocker until she broke the little finger on her right hand while blocking a shot during a practice last week. "I can't e spiker even do pushups with the team or write with my right hand," laments Jayne. The break was a complicated spiral fracture that brought with it a cast engulfing one-half of her right arm - a cast that will remain for four weeks and put an end to Jayne's first season as a Wolverine. Last year Jayne displayed her talents at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Michigan. Jenne convinced her she' was capable of handling Michigan. DESPITE the injury, Jayne has retained her sense of humor and her refreshing outlook on life. "I try to have a positive attitude at all times," she said. "If I make a mistake I'll put it behind me. And when someone else commits an error, I'll try my best to in- still positive feelings in that person. In addition, if I can brighten one person's day by making them smile, I feel life is{ worthwhile." Surprisingly, during the Hickman sisters' pleasant days in Howell, they did not really compete against each other. Instead, they helped one another achieve team-oriented goals. Jayne remarks, "Jenne and I have always helped each other when the other was in a rut. We pushed one another in order to make the other better. We both s' punch played softball together in high school, in addition to volleyball, and I wouldn't try to hit a homerun just because Jenne smacked a double." Volleyball was a natural choice for Jenne and Jayne. Both grew up wat- ching their older sister Jerree play the sport in high school. Jayne mentions, "We would watch Jerree's matches and Jenne and I would shag the errant volleyballs and the like. We were the typical little kids." After working on their volleyball skills and following in Jerree's foot- steps the Hickmans found the sport to be the most challenging and toughest of all the sports they had encountered. When one considers the many different serves, spikes, and tips the sport offers, this may very well be true. The Hickmans continue to turn the cogs of the Wolverine volleyball team for many years to come and will achieve many more of their dreams in life if they conquer the complexities of the sport. The successful attitude of the Hickmans is made evident by Jenne. "In order to get anything in life," she said, "You have to believe in yourself and those around you and to do this you have to be confident with a positive outlook on life."

S utcliffe C NEW YORK (AP) - Rick Sutcliffe, who helped turn the Chicago Cubs from losers into winners in one season as his own career took a dramatic turn, was unanimously elected the National League's 1984 Cy Young Award winner, it was announced yesterday. He was the first unanimous selection since Steve Carlton of the Philadelphia Phillies won his second Cy Young award in 1972. Only Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson had been previous unanimous selections - Koufax in 1963, y Young '65 and '66 and Gibson in 1968 and '70. SUTCLIFFE, the big right-hander from Independence, Mo., left the Cleveland Indians on June 13 to join the Cubs, who had finished fifth in 1983. Sutcliffe won 14 in a row at the end of the season for a 16-1 record, leading the Cubs to the National League East Division title in the best of his six major league seasons. The 28-year-old Sutcliffe was named No. 1 on all 24 ballots. U-Towers slams Jammers, 8- 6 It's been said that the best offense is a good defense, and this could not have been more true in Sunday's football game between the University Towers and the Jammers. These two indepen- dents battled the whole game, but in the end it was the U Towers who were vic- torious, 8-6, by literally stealing the game away from the Jammers. The A terrifying epidemic is sweeping he nation...> and you coud e its neXt victm! Watch for the tell-tale symptoms coming October 26th! Just a friendly warning from Zenith Data Systems key play of the game occured late in the first half when Towers cornerback and coach Wally Crosby, intercepted a pass and ran it back forty yards to the Jam- mer 40-yard line. On the next play quarterback Mark Stillman threw to Ken Williams for a touchdown. They then added the two point conversion to put them ahead 8-0 at the half. Like the first half, the second half was a defensive struggle. However, late in the game the Jammers scored on a pass play, but failed on their two-point conversion. The Jammers were unable to get the ball back and the game ended with the Towers squeaking out the vic- tory. With the win, the U Towers heightened their record to 2-0, while the Jammers fell to 1-1. Phi Sigma Kappa 14, Delta Chi 8 In what looked like a mismatch going into WE WANT TO TAKE YOU the game on Sunday between Phi Sigma Kappa and Delta Chi, actually turned into a close and exciting contest. Phi Sigma Kappa won the game 14-8, and improved its record to 2-0, but con- sidering Delta Chi had been crushed 40- 0 in its first contest, this game was bet- ter than expected. Phi Sigma Kappa started the scoring off on its first possession when quarterback Mike Wilkinson scored on a three-yard roll out. Delta Chi came right back, however, as Rich Crandall caught a Jamie Fieber 45-yard bomb. With the successful two-point conversion, Delta Chi was out in front by a score of 8-6. Even though Phi Sigma Kappa had only scored six points in its first vic- tory, the players said they had perfor- med better in that game. However, they did end up playing well enough against the Delta Chis to get the win. When Wilkinson connected with Dan Elkins on a short pass play they were able to narrowly pull out the victory. Although they ended up losing the game, Delta Chi's coach, Rich Crandall said that, "This game is an encouraging one, and we are looking forward to the rest of the season and hopefully the playoffs." Chi Psi 30, Phi Kappa Psi 8 Chris Yurko passed for three touch- downs and a trick play resulted in another, as Chi Psi easily defeated Phi Kappa Psi last Thursday, 30-8. Chi Psi was in total control throughout and scored on every possession while at the same time stopping Phi Kappa Psi all but once. Tom Gallagher was on the receiving end of two of Yurko's first half touchdown throws, as Chi Psi took a commanding 22-0 halftime lead. The second half began just like the first ended as Yurko quickly hit Ed Torrez on a 40-yard pass for a touch- down. Phi Kappa Psi's lone score came towards the end of the final quarter when Chris Piersson hit Tom McMillan on a 50-yard bomb over the middle. However the game was already out of reach at this point. "We had an ex- plosive offense and a stingy defense," coach Chris Bigelo said. Chi Psi's GRIDDE PICKS The CIA told the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Daily on Monday that all copies of a CIA-written psychological warfare manual distributed to Nicaraguan rebels and Michigan freshmen contained language on "how to win at Griddes." During the presidential debate Sun- day night, President Reagan said CIA officials had deleted several pages that dealt with previously unreleased in- formation on "the covert use of coin flipping to make one's picks." More on this story as details become available. But you can choose your own Griddes method and win a small, one-item pizza from Pizza Bob's if you turn in your picks by midnight Friday at the Student Publications Building and are, of cour- se, the most successful entrant. 1.

Kelse v Roots 18, Reeres Rollers 6 Led by quarterback Sam Desai and a defense that did not allow a point in the second half, Kelsey 'B' improved its record to 1-1 with an 18-6 victory over the Reeves Rollers last Thursday. Desai had a hand in all three Kelsey touchdowns as he threw for two scores to flanker Todd Wadkins and he also ran one in from three yards. The teams traded touchdown passes in the first quarter, but in the second period Desai ran in what proved to be the win- ning touchdown. The half ended with Kelsey ahead 12-6. Blue Lines .r . 1 v r t' TO THE MOVIES' What'sgoing on here?... . -. icers' offense exploding By TOM KEANEY W HO WOULD have thought? Who would have ever dreamed that Michigan would go from offensive ineptitude one season to goal- scoring dominance the next? Alright, alright, let's not get carried away so quickly. After all, the season is only four games old, and the Wolverines (3-1) have yet to face the class of the league (Michigan State, Bowling Green, Western Michigan), but already it seems that this team is bound for bigger and better things than last year's 14-22-1 squad. Consider: *Last year Michigan averaged 3.62 goals per game. The average so far this year is 6.5. *In 37 games last year, the Wolverines scored more than five goals on only five occasions. This year's team has done it in three out of it's four games. "Center Brad Jones had eight goals last year. He already has five this year, incluing a hat trick in Saturday's 9-2 victory over Ferris State. He looks like a different hockey player, and remember,'he's only a sophomore. eSenior goaltender Jon Elliot looks like a different person. In seven games last year, Elliot's goals against average was 5.43. This year? Shades of his freshman year -3.0. *Despite losing top scorer Jim MCauley to graduation, Michigan has scored 26 goals in four games. At this point last year the Wolverines were 1-3 and had been out scored 24-15. "Junior center Tom Stiles had 12 assists last year. So far this year he has six. He had a hand in all three of Jones' goals on Saturday. 'This year's team is not dependant on one player or even one line for scoring. The breakdown of goals for the four offensive alignments is 6,5,8,and 5 (two goals coming from defensemen). The question is, what is responsible for the turnaround? Many things. There has been a certain amount of improvement on the individual level; the Wolverines lost only three players from last year to graduation; and the freshmen class, especially Jeff Norton, Brad McCaughey, and Joe Lock- wood has been phenomenal. But let's give credit where credit is due. Every player I've talked to from last year's team points out the coaching change as the big difference bet- ween this year and last. Every aspect of the game has been improved, from fundamentals to strategy to attitude to confidence. Red Berenson is building a winner in Ann Arbor. During the week between the intrasquad game and the season opener at Miami of Ohio, Berenson sat back in his office chair, ran off half a dozen names, and told us they would all double their scoring output this year. I had my doubts. Junior defenseman Greg Hudas told me that this year's defense was going to be offensive-minded and pass-oriented. I smiled and nodded. "This year Coach Berenson is going to try to move the defenseman up into the play," I was told by senior Mike Neff. "That should help our scoring balance." Uh-huh. Preseason optimism was running rampant on the Michigan hockey team. It was refreshing, particularly in light of the Wolverines' recent history, but no one really expected more than a rebuilding season. Talking about results 'off the ice and seeing them in the games are two different things. Indeed, in the opening series at Miami, Michigan looked good but not spec- tacular. There was marked improvement, most noticeably in the offensive attack, but each goal had to be fought for. There were few "pretty oals" a In the second half, Kelsey played a ball control offense which did not allow the Rollers to make any kind of scoring threat. Desai said, "We played pretty well, but we could have played better. Our solid defensive play was the key." Late in the second half Kelsey scored an insurance touchdown when Desai threw fifteen yards to a wide open Wadkins. IM roundup relates briefly the ac- tivities of the Michigan intramural department.
