Page 8- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 22, 1985 WOLVERINE WEEKEND WRAP-UP Rivals serve losses to spikers 0 Blue Lines k rV/ By DEBBIE deFRANCES When a volleyball team can serve well, it can win points. When it can win points, it can win a match. Sound simple? The Michigan volleyball team doesn't think so. Because of poorly executed basic skills, including serving, the Wolverines dropped a pair of Big Ten matches this weekend, losing to Illinois, 15-11, 15-7, -12-15, 15-10, and to Purdue 15-3, 15-12,15-4. THE WOLVERINES, now 9-12, 1-7 in the con- ference, struck out in serving and spiking according to head coach Barb Canning. "We missed a lot of serves, especially at crucial times when we needed to get the points," said Can- ning. "Purdue also had a lot of service errors, and we 173 kills, and performed with her usual refined athletic ability. "She (Williams) is always very consistent. She gets to everything. She's just a key utility player," said Canning. Despite this weekend of woes, the Wolverines still1 have been improving and are playing at a muchI higher level than earlier in the season, according to Canning. Michigan State, one of just two teams lower in the Big Ten standings than Michigan, travels to Ann Arbor Tuesday to meet the Wolverines, and Canning is optimistic. "If we keep playing at this level the rest of the season, I think we can win the rest of our Big Ten matches," Canning concluded. Harriers buried The Michigan men's cross country team travelled to Madison this past weekend for what head coach Ron Warhurst labelled "probably the best in- vitational in the country." The Wolverines must have come home feeling like they had mud kicked in their faces as they finished last out of 12 teams. The Wisconsin Cross Country Classic featured 10 of the top 15 teams in the country and was run on a wet, slippery and muddy course which seriously dampened the Wolverines' chances. AFTER THE first mile and a half of the race, senior Chris Brewster was leading when he slipped and fell in the mud. Brewster mistakenly thought he had a pulled muscle, so he stretched out before rejoining the group. He had to run from the back of the pack, but he did manage to make it into 59th place, sandwiched between two of his teammates. John Scherer was the team's top finisher in 58th place and Joe Schmidt was close behind in 60th. Michigan's next best finishers were Erik Koskinen and John Chambers. Warhurst is now putting this disappointing meet behind him and is looking toward the Big Ten meet which will be run on the Wolverines' home course on Nov.2. "Wisconsin will be a heavy favorite," Warhurst noted. "We're hoping to make the top five." Warhurst will run the team hard for the next week before giving them a little rest before the conferen- ce meet in hopes that the team will make a strong showing in the Big Ten. They should at least have the mud out of their eyes by that time. - GREG MOLZON Coleman out for season ST. LOUIS (AP) - Examinations of injured St. Louis outfielder Vince Coleman revealed a bone chip in his left knee yesterday, and Dr. Stan London, the club physician, said Coleman will miss the remainder of the World Series. St. Louis leads Kansas 2-0 in the best-of-7 series with Game 3 scheduled for tonight. COLEMAN was injured when his leg was caught in the automatic tarpaulin machine as the field at Busch Stadium was being covered prior to last Sun- day's third game of the National League playoffs against Los Angeles. X-rays at first revealed no fractures and the Car- dinals said he had suffered only bruises and con- Brewster ... falls in mud tusions. But Coleman was unable to put weight on the leg and London made more extensive studies of him when the team returned home Monday. "The prescribed medication is six weeks rest," London said. With Tito Landrum replacing Coleman in the lineup, the Cardinals have won five straight games - the final three of the NL playoffs to win the NL pennant and the first two of the World Series. Hayes leaves hospital COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Former Ohio State University football Coach Woody Hayes was discharged yesterday from the OSU Hospitals where he had been treated for congestive heart failure and a mild heart attack. Hayes will continue his recovery at home, the hospital said in a brief news release. Hayes had been hospitalized since Sept. 29. Williams ... leads team in kills should have been able to get the ball and control the serves, but we didn't. "Their height was a definite advantage. Especially with All-American MaryAnn Smith in the front row, we couldn't get anything past her," Canning added. WHILE BOTH Illinois, (28-0, first in theBig Ten) and Purdue seemed smooth and polished with their on-court teamwork, Michigan appeared scattered and lost when handling the ball. Canning attributes this to a lack of concentration and changing lineup. - "Because Jenne Hickman is injured, we're never sure who'll be starting," Canning said. "It seems like we're never totally mentally prepared for the game." One bright spot for the Wolverines was Andrea Williams. Williams leads Michigan on offense with Ferris goes Canadian .. . . . ,l' stays American By ADAM OCHLIS When the Canadian National Anthem was sung before Friday night's Michigan-Ferris State hockey game, I quickly scanned my Bulldog roster and noticed that all but two of their players came from north of the bor- der. With the Wolverines only carrying three Canadians, last weekend's series was not just another CCHA encounter. It was the Canadians again- st the Americans. This fact exemplifies the contrasting directions taken by two schools' hockey programs and their respective coaches. Both Ferris State and Michigan are in what can be called a rebuilding year. Ferris finished in the cellar of the CCHA last season with a 8-23-1 mark while Michigan ended up seventh in the nine team conference. Ferris' Dick Bertrand went north into Canada and recruited seventeen players. The majority of these had played junior hockey and came to Big Rapids as 20- and 21-year-old freshmen. Michigan coach Red Berenson went a different route, heading both east and west to Massachusetts and Minnesota. Only two of Berenson's recruits are from Canada, and both are 18-years-old. The other incoming freshmen came right out of U.S. high schools. What causes Bertrand to concentrate on recruiting solely in places like Saskatchewan and British Columbia? The reasons are numerous. First off, Ferris State College is simply not the Mecca of collegiate hockey. Show me a hockey player that is dying to play in Big Rapids and I'll show you a foolish hockey player. Recruiting a top-notch prospect out of a United States high school is hard enough, even for schools with rich hockey traditions such as Michigan. "There's a lot of competition for the same kids," Berenson said. "Last year there were probably ten top college recruited players and there are 47 schools out for the same ten." Bertrand said those numbers lead him across the border. "We're a Michigan school and we would love to have all our players from Michigan," said Bertrand. "But we take a back seat to Michigan, to Michigan State, to Michigan Tech (and) to Northern. We ended up with players who could help our program get back on its feet." The problem with this style of recruiting is that by taking Canadians out of junior hockey, these "freshmen" are really not freshmen. Two of Bertrand's better recruits, Gary Sweetnam and Murray Winnicki are 21- year-old freshmen, coming right out of the junior leagues, meaning that they only have two years left of college eligibility. Granted they are both excellent players, but Bertrand is obviously taking the win-it-now-or-else approach, with no capability to rebuild. A short cut "They're stop gapping and we're looking to build on a four year plan not a one- or two-year eligibility plan," explained Berenson. "When you bring in a 21-year-old player you only have a couple of years ... "We don't fashion our program after Ferris'." Thank God. In addition to the lack of quality high school seniors in the United States, Bertrand's do-or-die approach might have resulted in his lack of success at Ferris. His 45-64-8 record at Ferris State speaks for itself, and rumors have been running wild that the ex-Cornell mentor's job may be on the line. Who's better? Then, of course, there is the debate of whether Canada and its junior leagues really do produce a higher quality player than the United States' high schools. The general consensus seems to be that while Canadians may be born with more natural ability, the United States' players are more desirable to coaches. Berenson, however does not think it matters where a player comes from, as long as he is good. "I don't think you can take one is better than the other;" Berenson said. "this is a real myth that maybe was true 25 years ago, but it's not true anymore that just because a kid is Canadian and playing in Canada doesn't make him a great hockey player. It's a matter of the kid himself." What this all means is that Berenson can develop a program with players he'll have for four years while Bertrand will constantly be tur- ning over Canadians with limited eligibility. In talking to Bertrand, you get the feeling he would love to trade jobs with Michigan's Red Berenson. 6 6 a i CCHA Standings No one faces cancer alone. Call us.

LSAT,GMAT,GRE classes forming now By DEBBIE deFRANCES Tonight's match-up will not decide the number one team in the nation, but it might determine who is the wor- st volleyball team in the Big Ten. As the classic Michigan vs. Michigan State rivalry falls into Ann Arbor, the tenth-ranked conference team, Michigan State, arrives to challenge the number eight Big Ten team, Michigan. MICHIGAN STATE, 4-14, 0-8 in the conference, hopes to win their first conference match, but Michigan head coach Barb Canning is confident that her Wolverine squad will be vic- torious. "I think we've seen the best in the Big Ten, so we know what we're up against," Canning said. "We've been improving every game and Michigan State is one of the only teams below us in standings." Junior Michigan blocker, Jayne Hickman feels that Michigan will not only have to capitalize on the Spar- tan's loss of a couple of key hitters, but must learn to concentrate earlier in the match. "WE DON'T stay mentally in the game. We have to relax. "We have the talent to win and have shown it periodically against other tough teams," said Hickman. Hickman also said her teammates seem to have improved in defensive abilities by playing the top teams in the conference. ANDREA Williams, a senior setter who received All-Big Ten academic honors last year, also feels there is a definite improvement, especially among the younger squad members. "A lot of the players are starting to improve individualy," Williams said. "Jayne Hickmand and Heather Olsen are coming together, starting to come to their own." At the same time, Williams thinks that the Wolverines need to work on their teamwork. "It doesn't matter how strong one person is because they're only one-sixth of the team," she said. "It takes a whole team to work together. We've been having it in spurts, but it needs to be effective all the time." ONE THING the Wolverines must work on is a quicker offense, accor- ding to Williams. She said although Michigan has good hitters, more often than not they are overcome by the front line height of other Big Ten teams. Not only do Big Ten teams have the height advantage over a typically short Michigan team, but everyone, even last-place MSU, also leads the Wolverines in overall Big Ten statistics. The Spartans' strongest hitter, averaging .246 on the season, is junior Shantelle Schmidt. Schmidt is ranked ninth in both hitting efficiency and kills (159) in the conference. Michigan State's Pam Wischmeyer ranks among the top ten -of the Big Ten in both aces and digs per game. Teammate, Sharon Hekker is seventh in the Conference in blocks per game, averaging .94. Michigan hopes to take advantage of the home court and do nothing but improve its dismal 1-7 Big Ten stan- dings. LSAT GMAT MCAT SAT ORE Preparation for LSAT, GMAT, GRE, MCAT, SAT.

Witness the case this weekend as the Michigan field hockey team dropped a pair of 3-0 decisions. The games, despite the identical scores, were starkly different. On Friday, the Wolverines were sluggish in losing to Ohio State. The The Universityof Michigan ficeof F{?f1cia1 Aid offense was unable to move the ball, and the stronger, faster Buckeye team outshot Michigan 32-8. Michigan's defense, although giving a gutsy performance, lost the war of at- trition, giving up three goals. SAID COACH Karen Collins: "I was not pleased with the effort today at GUARANTEED STUDENT LOANS FALL-WINTER 1985-86 all. We didn't play our game." On Sunday the effort, if not the final result, improved. Collins said her team "played very well." Very well indeed considering their opponent, number-one ranked Northwestern. A effective midfield limited a dangerou' Wildcat offense to 17 spots on goal. The Wolveirnes should be proud of their showing against the best team in the country. But this year the field hockey team, no matter who or how well it plays, seems destined to come up short.
