In women's cross country, you've said it all. For lack of a better jingle, it's the song the Wolverine squad is singing going into the 1985 season. "On paper it doesn't look like we can run with them (Wisconsin)," said Michigan women's head cross country coach Sue Parks. "WISCONSIN IS incredible," said senior harrier Kathy Schmidt. "I know we're never going to beat Wisconsin." "If we have a really good year, we can come in second (in the Big Ten)," said All-American Sue Schroeder, "behind Wisconsin." Defeatism? Perhaps. But con- sidering the Badgers return all but one runner from a team that cap- tured the 1984 NCAA cross- country title, the Badgers seem unbeatable, indeed. Yet that does not mean anyone on the Michigan squad is giving up. "WE HAVE a good, solid group," said Parks. "The key is the pack has to move up." "The pack" means all of the team's runner except Sue Schroeder-"To move up" means to come closer in performance to Schroeder. No easy task, since Schroeder is an All-American in both cross-country and track, where she was second last year in the 5,000 meters. Schroeder is so good, in fact, that she sometimes works out with the men's team. "None of the girls can keep up with her," says Parks of the senior from Napoleon, OH. The team is in a period of intense training, which includes long distance training and weight lifting three times a week. Although the early training will help the team in the long run, it will leave the squad somewhat depleted for their opening meet, the Missouri Invite September 21 in Columbia. BUT IF THE Wolverines are to be competitive-they finished tied in the Big Ten last year-some of the team will have to keep up with Schroeder. Schmidt, who doubles as a miler for track is being counted on, as well as fellow middle distan- ce runner Melissa Thompson. Two relatively unknown competitors, a junior transfer Sheri Sly and freshman Tracy Babcock, have impressed Parks in practice. And against the Badgers, Michigan needs all the help it can get. Still, despite Wisconsin's ap- parent domination, Parks sees some, although faint, hope. "Anything can happen," she said remembering that last year the Wisconsin men's team was expec- ted to walk away with the Big Ten title and came in third. "Miracles do happen," added Schmidt, who was quick to point out the same occurence. Unfor- tuantely, the Tooth Fairy may be singing a beer jingle at this very moment. Southern Illinois (1-1) at Illinois (0-1) This will be the first meeting ever between these two schools. SIU has already trounced Lincoln University 63-0, and lost to Southwest Missouri State 40-28 this season.

Louisville (0-1) at Indiana (0-0) Head coach Howard Schnellenberger is in his first year, and he will be at- tempting to light a fire under a team that went 2-9 last season.

JIVERTY, MUS ICAL 8OCETY BY RACHEL GOLDMAN This week will be the telling week or the upcoming men's cross country season, according to Michigan coach Ron Warhurst. Formal practice started just last week with the beginning of school. Coach Warhurst decided he woundn't bring the team in early because, as he said, "they all know what they have to do." He planned tough workouts this week. "BY NEXT week, I'll know a bit ore about how the team is going to e" Warhurst said. The tough workouts planned for the rest of this week include a timed 8-mile run and an "easy" 10-mile run. By next week, Warhurst expects the team will be "the walking wounded". Michigan is hosting the Big Ten Men's Cross Country Championships on November 20. Warhurst expects a top three finish. Wisconsin is "loaded", according to Warhurst, and ie next two places will be between s team, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota or Michigan State. Number one runner Chris Brewster, who ran a 28.39 in the 10,000 meter last spring during track season, will be returning along with Joe Schmidt, a second place winner in last year's Big Ten Steeple Chase. Bob Vanden- berg, the fourth man on the NCAA championship team, also returns. Other promising runners include it Fraleigh from Ann Arbor ioneer, Erik Koskeinen from Sch- wartz Creek, Mike Fredericks from Ann Arbor Huron, John Scherer from Maryland, and Darrel Zeck from Saline. GRIDDE PICKS Back to school in Ann Arbor means lines. No, not the kind of lines they are talking about in Pittsburgh. Lines of *ot, bored, tired people waiting. Waiting at financial aid. Waiting at the cashier's office. Waiting at the bank. Waiting at CRISP. But according to University professor of lineology Harold Wallen- da Von Bannister, the worst line in town is the line at the green box for Gridde entries, on the second floor of the Student Publications Building. The overwhelming popularity of Griddes has caused problems for Oniversity security, which is forced to keep the Daily offices open 24 hours a day. If you can handle another line, drop off your Gridde picks at 420 Maynard before midnight tonight. Anyone in line at the stroke of midnight will be given an override for next week. The contestant who correctly lines up the most winners will get his choice of a full-tray Sicilian or Chicago stuf- d pizza or whole submarine san- wich from Pizza Express, located at ooley's. As a tie-breaker, incude the total number of points scored in the Michigan game.
