Schmidt set to leg it out By GREG MOLZON All-American Sue Schroeder is unquestionably the top runner for the women's cross country team, but the success of this year's team just may depend on the legs of Schroeder's roommate and best friend, Cathy Schmidt. Schmidt spent this past summer in Europe and trained harder than ever before. She had hoped to do really well in this, her final year at Michigan, but a leg injury sustained while training has put a damper on her season so far. SHE WILL begin her comeback this weekend at the Indiana Invitational after sitting out last weekend's meet. Although it's questionable whether Schmidt will be 100 percent during the cross country season, fellow co- captain Schroeder believes she can still contribute. "I think she'll be able to help the team," said Schroeder. "She's a real competitor and will always run as best as she can." Although they are roommates, Schmidt and Schroder insist there is no competition or rivalry between them. They have what Schroeder terms a "unique situation." "WE'RE NOT really in com- petition," Schroeder said, "but we can help each other out with our weaknesses. She's a really strong runner in the shorter distances, but I have more endurance for the longer races." It's the shorter races which Schmidt enjoys more and excels in, however. She runs indoor track and holds the school record for the 1000 meters with a time of 2:44.15. Schmidt began running at Grosse Pointe North High School after starting out as a swimmer. Both of her brothers had been runners there and at Michigan; so Schmidt also star- ted track because "my brothers-were good runners and it was expected of me to run too," she said. SHE ENJOYED running more than swimming. "It (running) was really easy for me and I never had to train that hard in high school," she added. Schmidt followed in her brothers' footsteps by coming to Michigan, and with hard work she has become one of the team's best performers. Her con- tributions don't stop with her running ability, though. She is a co-captain and a definite leader of the team. The team can't wait for Schmidt to return and regain her top form. As junior runner Cheri Sly said, "She's one of our top runners and when she comes back, it'll make the team a lot tougher." HEAD COACH Sue Parks believes the team will need Schmidt if it hopes to beat out Illinois for second place in the Big Ten Championships, and Schroeder also thinks that Schmidt's performance will have a significant bearing on the season. "For us to have a shot at the nationals," Schroeder said, "She'll have to be in the top five." Schmidt, an accounting major, has found her injury severely frustrating. If she can't return to top form during this cross country season, she hopes to be prepared for the upcoming season in track. But for now, her mind is on cross country. With Schmidt's help, the team finished third last season after placing ninth the previous year with the same club. With virtually the same team retur- ning intact again, Schmidt may just help the Wolverines capture second place in the Big Tep. GRIDDE PICKS uDaiy rnoto Dy DAN HABIB . Senior Cathy Schmidt has returned from a leg injury to train with the women's cross country team for their upcoming Big Ten meets. Her return should bolster the already strong team, which finished first in last weekend's Western Ontario Invitational. IL-I In yet another late-breaking scoop, the Daily has uncovered the real motive behind the Soviets' arms- reduction proposal. Chief Soviet negotiator Victor Kar- pov was overheard yesterday telling an attache "Arms reduction is OK, but what I really want is for relations with the U.S. to improve so I can get my hands on some Griddes ballots." Aha! Karpov must be after a Dooley's guest pass good for two, plus a full-tray Sicilian pizza, Chicago stuf- fed pizza, or whole sub sandwich from Pizza Express. He'll have trouble winning, though. Karpov is reported to be high on the Red Badgers of Courage. And he'll have to negotiate with the Daily before he can enter. 1. Wisconsin at MICHIGAN (pick total points) 2. Ohio State at Illinois 3.

Red Badgers of Courage at DAILY LIBELS Tigers cr By TOM KEANEY Special to the Daily DETROIT - Darrel Evans was all 4he offense the Detroit Tigers needed OPast night as the American League ome-run leader bashed two more 'four-baggers, leading the Tigers to a 6-1 victory over Toronto. Evans got to loser Doyle Alexander (16-10) early with a solo smash in the first, and added a two-run job in the third, his 39th of the season. FRANK TANANA improved his ,record to 11-14. The left-hander went the full nine, giving up nine hits and - striking out four. rush Jays The Blue Jays' only run came in the seventh when Damaso Garcia knocked home Garth Iorg on a sacrifice fly to left. Toronto could do no more, however, as the AL East leaders stranded nine runners. The Tigers picked up three unear- ned runs in their half of the seventh. Lou Whitaker led off with a single to left and scored on Evans' single and two throwing errors by Jesse Barfield and Ernie Whitt. The Blue Jays will again try to clin- ch a tie for the AL East title tonight in Detroit.
