Although every team has its individual stars, com- patibility and cooperation are imperative for suc- cess. There are a few sports, however, in which the individual alone controls his or her own fate. One such sport is Tae Kwon Do, a Korean style of karate. Tae Kwon Do, an ancient form of self-defense, has emerged as one of the most popular forms of karate in the United States. Prior to World War II, it was vir- tually unknown to most martial arts experts. Now, however, Tae Kwon Do is practiced in thousands of karate schools around America, and will soon gain amateur status at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. THE MICHIGAN Tae Kwon Do club has been an in- tegral part of the University's club system since its founding in 1963. Unfortunately, like many club spor- ts, the Tae Kwon Do club goes practically unrecognized by the majority of sports fans at the University. The club has a long list of individual stars, such as Hwan Wan Lee, a former collegiate and national champion, and Lynette Love, a women's three-time world champion. "Han Wan is definitely the most accomplished individual we've had," said karate master Joseph Lloyd, a fifth degree black belt. "He was national champion two years ago, and runner up twice." It's important also to recognize the accomplish- ments not only of the "superstars," but of every member of the club-from white belts to black. Karate is an extemely demanding and grueling sport which requires hours of practice to reach the pin- nacle of perfection - the coveted blackbelt. "It took me five years to earn this (black belt)," said David Kim proudly. Although there is no competition in the Big Ten, the Tae Kwon Do club is always competing, whether in practice sparring sessions or in various tournaments. ding, the Tae Kwon Do club has no qualms. "We basically have a good relationship with the school," said instructor Joseph Lloyd. "We understand their problems and they understand ours. It's basically a mutually agreeing relationship." What many members would like, however, is the recognition they believe the sport deserves. After all, "it (Tae Kwon do) will soon be recognized as an Olympic sport," said David Kim, "and the public should be aware of this either through television ex- posure or newspaper." The Tae Kwon Do club practices Monday, Wed- nesday, and Friday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the mar- tial arts room at the CCRB. Practice consists of warm-up, kicking and punching techniques, katas (various movements embodying different sequences of punches and kicks), and free form sparring. EACH OF THESE techniques has its own significance in developing the necessary skills to progress within the belt hierarchy. Tae Kwon Do, however, is different from other forms because it utilizes the kata to put all aspects of the sport together in a fluent and graceful style. Tae Kwon Do is often called an embodiment of many different styles of karate, including aikido, kung-fu and popularized Asian forms brought back by soldiers following the Korean War. Anyone interested in self-defense, or just a fun and exciting way to get into shape is encouraged to join the club. This year's major tournament will be held in Indiana. There are also the national and collegiate champion- ships, to which the club sends two to five represen- tatives each year. EACH ACTIVE member is expected to pay $35 dues, while the University subsidizes the club with $600 a year to cover traveling expenses. Unlike other club sports that are dissatisfied with University fun- Daily Photo by ALISA BLOCK Tae Kwon Do club member Victor Bullen attempts a kick to the mid-section, sparring with teammate Han Lee last night at the CCRB. - ---------- 7- SPOR TS OF THE DAILY: Netters nip Iowa, pull even in Big Ten Women netters split By PHIL NUSSEL It was a tough day for the Michigan doubles teams, but the Wolverines pulled out a 5-4 win at Iowa Sunday to even their Big Ten record at 2-2. Michigan began the match by taking four of the six singles matches, but then lost two of the three doubles matches to make the score close. WOLVERINE Jim Sharton won han- dily at first singles, downing Jim Nelson, 6-1,16-3. Sharton has now won three out of four conference matches and says that he is quite happy with his play so far. The only Wolverines to lose in singles were John Royer at second and Franz Geiger at sixth. It was Geiger's first lost in the conference. Ed Filer had an easy time at third sings es, turning back Rob Moellering, 6- 4,6-1. Jon Morris, who was moved down from second singles, took a straight sets victory over Dale Garlick, 7-5, 6-2 at fourth singles. Brad Koontz rounded out the singles victors with a tough 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 triumph over Scott Schaffer at fifth. The only bright spot in doubles was the tandem of Sharton and Filer who rolled over Nelson and Moellering at first doubles, 6-1, 7-5. Both Royer and Morris and Tomas Anderson and Jed Hakken lost in three sets at second and third doubles, respectively. Michigan lost five of six doubles mat- ches on the weekend, but it's nothing to worry about yet, at least according to Sharton. "I think we have a lot of good doubles players, it's just a question of who to put together," he noted. Linksters finish sixth in Purdue Invitational Michigan's golfers battled near mon- soon conditions en route to a 10th-place finish in last weekend's Purdue In- vitational at West Lafayette, Indiana. Inclement weather washed out Friday's rounds and the 15 teams in the tournament played only 36 holes. "The weather was absolutely horrible," said coach Jim Carras, "not particularly conducive to playing golf." HOST PURDUE won the tournament with a team score of 748. Second place Bradley also had a 748 total but Purdue was declared the winner on the basis of their sixth golfer's score, ordinarily dropped. Favored Ohio State finished third, only one stroke back, at 749. Michigan's 780 earned them 10th place. The Wolverines were close going into the back nine of their final round. Disaster struck, however, on the eleventh hole as they combined for 11 strokes over par. "If you subtract those strokes, we would have finished sixth," said Carras. Junior Chris Westfall led the Wolverines with a 74-79-153 score, followed closely by Peter Savarino (75- 79-154) and team captain Dan Roberts (78-77-177). Scott Chipokas (79-78-157) and Jon Rife (79-87-166) rounded out the Michigan scoring. Ohio State's Clerk Burroughs was the tournament's medalist with a sterling 142 effort. "I'm disappointed, not discouraged," said Carras. "We didn't play all that badly overall but (thehplayers) had some individual bad holes. It was typical early spring collegiate golf, we just bundled up and did the best we could." -SKIP GOODMAN with 'Cats, By DEBRA deFRANCES Quitters never win. The, women's tennis team didn't quit when it lost to the sixth-ranked team in the nation; in- stead, the Wolverines turned a devastating 9-0 route by Northwestern one day into a sweet Big Ten triumph the next, beating Iowa 5-4. Going into the Northwestern match, coach Bitsy Ritt knew the competition would be the best the Big Ten had to of- fer, but thought her team could swing a couple of victories.' "THEY'RE THE. sixth team in the country, but I didn't think we'd get beaten 9-0," Ritt admitted.. "We were in a couple of matches, but we just couldn't pull it off." Michigan, however, quickly, recovered from its loss and slid by Iowa the following day in Iowa City. At third Hawkeyes, singles, freshman Tina Basle easily knocked off Pat Leary, 6-3, 6-1, while sophomore teammate Tricia Honer beat Hawkeye Lisa Rozenboom, 6-3, 6-3, at the fifth position. Freshman Erin Ashare rounded out Michigan's singles' victories by easily winning her sixth position match over Kathy Ruck, 6-0,6.1. In doubles action, again the under- classmen dominated, winning two of the three matches. The Wolverines, now 5-7 overall and 1-4 in the Big Ten, are looking forward to a promising second half of the season, according to Ritt. "We have four more Big Ten matches left, all of which I think we can win," said Ritt confidently. "Our doubles have really come around for us and if we keep it up we'll be seeded fifth in the Big Ten Championship (in early May)." 4'% cue i -e 5 SaI LOOKING FOR A JOB?
