December 5 Tankers cruise past Toronto By DEBBIE deFRANCES After a shot from the starter's pistol, a splash in the pool and a few quick strokes, the Michigan men's swim team glided by the University of Toronto Friday night 83-26. The Wolverines jumped into their season opener, winning eight of 16 races from the Canadian squad. Assistant coach Mark Noetzel was impressed with some individual per- formances and said the meet was a great beginning for the team. "I'M REALLY happy with this because it was a good meet and it showed that these guys (Michigan) really have the determination to win this year,'' Noetzel said. "They're serious about training hard and it was good to start out with a win like this." Dave Kerska led the Wolverines with two individual victories in the 50- yard freestyle, touching out at 20.82, and the 100-yard freestyle, with a 45.83. Teamed with sophomore Mike Creaser, senior Marc Parrish and Martin Moran, Kerska also recorded a first-place time in the 400-yard medley relay, at 3:25.97. Aside from teamming for the relay victory, Marc Parrish also scored a win in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:08.62. Noetzel added that this win was not Parrish's best effort. "I WAS REALLY impressed by the time Marc Parrish turned in in the 400- yard individual medley," said Noet- zel, a former Michigan swimmer. "He took second, but it was really a 9 p oom I 1uhilecastle Blue Lines +':( good race for him." Michigan's individual winners also included Bill Kopas and senior Gary Antonick winning, respectively, the 100-yard freestyle in 9:29.53 minutes and the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:42.19. Martin Moran scored a win in the 200-yard Butterfly in 1:51.21 and Mats Nygren rounded out the victory column for the Wolverines with a 4:39.03 win in the 500-yard individual medley. WITH A DUAL meet record of 21-1 at Michigan and all of his roster retur- ning, head coach John Urbanchek hopes to take the Big Ten title away from conference powerhouse Indiana, to whom Michigan finished second last year. "Everything boils down to the Big Ten Championships," Noetzel said. "They're a fine group of swimmers and have set their sights on the Big Ten's and the NCAA's," Noetzel ad- ded of the Wolverines, who last year ended up 15th in the NCAA poll. With this win, the Wolverines have taken a dive in the right direction towards Indianapolis, the site of this year's NCAA Championship. LOOK* 0 0 We realize that the papers are gone by early morning.

THANK YOU For 'M'icers .. . @06,no place like home By MARK BOROWSKY ATE LAST Saturday night, Tom Stiles, like the rest of the Michigan Hockey team, was groping for answers. "When we came in tonight, everyone thought we were going to win for sure," the senior left wing said after the Wolverines were pounded 6-2 by Michigan State in East Lansing. "We were expecting to win. We didn't come in hoping to win, we were expecting to win." But all the expectations only added up to false hope. Michigan had upset the 4th-ranked Spartans Friday night, 5-4, yet the happiness had dissipated into frustration after the bitter loss Saturday. The chants of "sweep" heard on the Michigan locker room after Friday's game were replaced by silence and resignation. "The first five or 10 minutes of the game we played really strong - we were outshooting them, outplaying them, outmuscling them," said senior captain Frank Downing. "Then we got a couple of power plays and we didn't do much, and that kind of slowed things down, and we lost our inten- sity." Michigan head coach Red Berenson had a simpler answer. "I think the key was that they (Michigan State) just outplayed us right from the start. We're kidding ourselves if we think that we played any bet- ter than that." No kidding. The team that showed character, played solid defense and scored the big goal in the clutch was the Michigan Wolverines, the team that couldn't capatilize on the power play and allowed a horrific 42 shots Saturday was, yes, the Michigan Wolverines. Such has been the early season tendency of this year's Wolverine hockey team. Two exhibition losses to Team Canada are the only things that preclude calling Michigan world-beaters at home - they are 4-0 at Yost. Their road record is a symmetrical 0-4, including a sweep by the Bulldogs of Ferris State, generally considered one of the toothless teams in the CCHA. Outscored 34-18 outside of Yost, the Wolverines have found away games a tough road to hoe. Last weekend's series with the Spartans showed how erratic the Wolverines are away from home sweet home. Friday night Michigan traded goals with the highly regarded Spartans, and after Brad McCaughey's breakaway goal at 15:19 of the third period, Michigan held on behind some excellent goaltending by Tim Makris. Michigan outhustled Michigan State, and the fruits of their labor were illustrated in the 5-4 victory. "The players really believed that they could beat Michigan State and that was important," said Berenson after Friday's victory, easily the biggest of the year. "If you don't think that you can do it, then you're not going to do it." Basking in the glory of Friday's upset, many Wolverines believed they could do it again. Unfortunately, Michigan State was an unbeliever. State thoroughly trounced Michigan, 6-2, at Munn Ice Arena. Following a scoreless first period, MSU outscored Michigan 5-0 in the second, effec- tively sweeping out any ideas the Wolverines had of taking both games from the Spartans. Outshot 42-17, goalies Tim Makris (playing the first two periods) and Bob Lindgren nevertheless played solidly. They were the only two that had good games, and that was not nearly enough. It was disappointing, or worse. For after playing a teriffic game Friday night, Michigan could have dismissed the question of whether it too is a force to be dealt with in the CCHA. If not a sweep, at least a decent showing would have shown the Wolverines are, or have the potential to be, an out- standing hockey team this year. After Saturday, the answer is in the negative.

ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER Spikers split Cautious optimism is a phrase: that is heard most often in diplomatic cir- cles. However, after last weekend's two-game split, it also describes the mood of the Michigan volleyball team. Coach Barb Canning thinks her team 's efforts were solid in both Friday's 3-2 loss to Northwestern and the 3-0 win over Iowa on Saturday, but* the Wolverines' record remained one game below .500 at 14-15. "I'M HAPPY with our play, but we really wanted to win both," said Can- ning. Had the Wolverines beaten the Wildcats on Friday, they would be in fifth place in the Big Ten instead of their current residence, seventh place. The reason for optimism is the im- proved serving game and the decrease in unforced errors. "In the@ first half of the year we were beating ourselves with our mistakes. Now we are concentrating on serving and spiking much better," said Canning. Lisa Vahi and Jayne Hickman dominated the Hawkeyes with their serving. "Iowa never got their offense going against our serving game," Canning said of her team's 15-5, 15-2, 16-14 win. There is reason for caution too.
