Going into the weekend, their record was 0-3. But af- ter sweeping away the competition on Friday in Chicago, versus Illinois- Chicago and Kent State and on Saturday in Ames, Iowa against Iowa State and Wisconsin, their record now stands at 4-3. The marvelous weekend started on Friday when the Wolverines scored a 259.25 to a 256.95 win over Illinois- Chicago, and a 242.5 victory over Kent State. CAPTAIN Mitch Rose placed second in the all-around with a 51.90. This included first place finishes on the still rings (9.15), the parallel bars (9.25), and the horizontal bar (9.30). "Rose's performance reflects the in- tensity that he put into his training during the week," said coach Bob Darden. Scott Moore also had an outstanding meet with second place finishes in both the floor exercise and the vault. "I think the team did real well in light of the fact that the scoring seemed to be very critical," said Dar- den. THEN ON Sunday, the Mitch Rose show continued as he capped off his outstanding weekend by finishing third in the all-around with a 52.60. he came in first place on both the horizontal bars (9.40), and the parallel bars (9.30). These scores helped the Wolverines (263.20) to overcome Iowa State (261.10), and Wisconsin (260.70). By the time the weekend was over, Rose had captured first place in five events over two meets. "We knew it was going to be a tough meet and I'm just happy that the guys were able to perform up to their expectations and didn't let the pressure knuckle them under," said Darden. "Today's meet was pretty tough. Combined with the Illinois- Chicago meet on Friday, this was one heck of a weekend." OSU outtumbles Blue The Michigan women's gymnastics team was defeated last weekend by a powerful Ohio State squad, 182.90 to 174.20. "OSU is a real tough team," said coach Dana Kempthorn. "I ex pected to get a little- bit higher on the team score, but OSU, being the Big Ten power they are, made it a tough meet."A There was however, an encouraging note for the Wolverines. This came from freshman Janne Klepek who finished fourth in the all-around with a 36.15, her highest all-around score as a Wolverine. Another freshman, Amy Meyer, also performed well with a fourth place finish on the balance beam. "I'm very pleased with my fresh- man and the performance they've been pulling through," said Kem- pthorn.{ "We need to be more aggressive with our routines and learn to attack more," she said. "We held back on our routines, and when you hold back, it can get you into trouble." By-DOUG VOLAN Rose ... places second overall Not to be outdone by Rose, Brock Orwig chipped in with a first place finish ont he floor exercise (9.50), and he tied Rose for first place on the horizontal bar at 9.40. Gavin Meyerowitz had a big day as well. He finished first place on the pommel horse with a 9.45. He then followed that up with two fourth place finishes. One on the vault and one on the horizontal bar.

MARTIN The 14th-ranked Wolverines blasted Eastern Michigan's swim team out of the water this weekend, 72-41, in a meet that was a "tune-up, a chance to relax," as Michigan head coach Jon Urbanchek put it. The Hurons served simply as cannon fodder for the Wolerines as Michigan tried to reacquaint itself with the taste of bat- tle for its top twenty showdown with 12th-ranked Iowa this Friday at Matt Mann pool. Resting some of their better swim- mers and swimming out of their nor- mal rotations the Wolverines still dominated the event, capturing eight of the ten swimming events and oil, set for holding court over the diving events. Junior Joe Parker from Battle Creek won the 200-meter freestyle in 1:43.62 and combined on the 400-meter freestyle relay with David Kerska, Marc Parrish, and Mats Nygren for a time of 3:09.22. Also leading the im- pressive cavalry charge for Michigan was freshman Alvizuri Alejandro of Lima, Peru. Alejandro was respon- sible for winning the 200-meter backstroke in a time of 1:55.44 and for combining on the 400-meter medley relay with Gary Antonick, Dan Dewhurts, and David Goch. In the words of Urbanchek, "Alejandro swam exceptionally well." Alejandro leads the United Nations delegation that is present on a Hawkeyes men's swim team that sports mem- bers from such exotic lands as Brussels, Belgium, and Kolbjornsvik, Norway. This international unit will be expected to perform well this weekend against the Hawkeyes of Iowa who will bring their undefeated record into Matt Mann pool and face Urbanchek's troops-who are also undefeated. Urbanchek is leary over the prospect of facing the Hawkeyes who "are coming in holding the best times in the Big Ten, and almost all the best times in the conference." But he adds, "It will be a very exciting meet, bet- ween two evenly matched, undefeated teams." By DARREN JASEY At the halfway point in the Big Ten season Michigan's road to respec- tability has not exactly been a clear one. In fact, it could be better described as a bumper-to-bumper traffic jam. Friday's 85-74 loss at Northwestern and Sunday's 72-67 win at Wisconsin jammed the Wolverines into a three- way tie for third place in the Big Ten. They now share 5-4 records with Michigan State and Indiana, and their overall record is 11-8. WITH AN 0-7 record the Badgers road, though not respectible, is as clear as a Wisconsin farm road. But the Badgers moved into the fast lane and geared up for a disheartened Wolverine squad that had just lost two in a row. According to Michigan head coach Bud Van De Wege, the Badgers did not play like the Sunday drivers they were made out to be. The game wasn't decided until the final minute when Michigan's senior forward Wendy Bradetich alertly. drew a charge on a Wisconsin drive that could have cut the Wolverine lead to one point. "That was the play that iced it for us," said Van De Wege. "Bradetich really played an outstanding game." The Michigan front line, led by Bradetich's 21 points, tossed in 52 of the teams 72 points. The Wolverines were able to amass a 13-point lead early in the second half, but Wiscon- sin's 6-3 center Marsha Millhouse, who scored 17 points, led a Badger charge that cut the Wolverine lead to two points with under three minutes' remaining. "It was nerve racking," said Van De Wege about the pesky Badger team which shot 20 percent over its season average. In Friday's matchup at North- western the Wolverines collided with a "fired up" Wildcat team according to Van De Wege, while the Wolverines just ran out of gas. "MENTALLY, we were not prepared," said Van De Wege. "We didn't have the fire or the energy... and as a result we went out flat." Northwestern's senior guard tan- dem of Laura Wiesen and Ann Marie McNamee had their typically strong games pouring in 16 and 14 points respectively. They also spearheaded a vicious man-to-man pressing defen- se that baffled the maize and blue. "They were able to take us out oi our game," said Van De Wege. The Wildcats (3-6) also received 39 bench points and 17 points from their unheralded sophomore center Kelly Byrne. "We did not anticipate that kind of game from her," said Van De Wege about the 6-2 Byrne. Brade tich ...draws key charge Freshman netter rolls Michigan freshman Dan Goldberg advanced to the semifinals of the Columbus Invitational in Columbus this weekend before losing to Casey Merickel of Minnesota, 6-1, 2-6, 7-6. Three Wolverine netters played in the event, which featuredsome of the top players in the Big Ten. Goldberg went the farthest of the three, despite bat- tling an illness. "THERE WERE a few times when I thought I was going to have to pull him out, but he really played well," said Michigan coach Brian Eisner. Goldberg easily defeated Mark Long of Illinois and Panos Kambedellis of Indiana to move into a quarter final match against Chuch Swain of Wisconsin. Swain had upset Roger Smith of Ohio State, the conference's top player a year ago, but Goldberg- disposed of Swain, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, to move to the semis. Senior Jim Sharton, the Wolverine's number one player, blasted Jim Nelson of Iowa, 6-0, 6-2, then defeated Michigan State's Paul Mesaros, 6-3, 7- 6 but lost his third round match. "IT WAS just one of those days where Jim got off to a slow start," Eisner said. "He played well overall, but he dug himself a hole early (in his semifinal match) and couldn't make it back." John Royer posted a first-round vic- tory against Owen Collins of Indiana, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, but the Michigan junior' playing in his hometown, was ousted by Mats Malnberg of Iowa, 7-6, 6-4. Eisner was satisfied with the play of his three top men, but noted that win- ning the Big Ten title for the 18th time in 19 seasons won't be easy. -_PAUL DODD RENT A REFRIGERATOR Phone: 1-815-895-2443 or 1-800-255-2255 ext. 7368 free phone call FREE DELIVERY Ohio State hoop coach resigns . ..I COLUMBUS (AP) - Ohio State University basketball Coach Eldon Miller, under fire from fans for a string of recent losses, stepped down yesterday, effective at the end of the current season, the university's athletic director announced. OSU Athletic Director Rick Bay said Miller agreed early yesterday that it would be in the best interests of the men's basketball program for the university to seek a new head basket- ball coach at the end of this season. Miller's contract expires June 30, 1986, and will not be renewed, Bay said. "I did not intend to reach a decision on this matter until the end of this season," Bay said. "However, Coach Miller came to me this morning and said he believed we should resolve the situation immediately. It was then we agreed to announce this would be his last season as the Ohio State men's basketball coach.' Bay said, however, that Miller's dedication to the school and the job was unquestioned and called Miller a credit to the university. "The job of head coach is never an easy one, in that your every decision is under constant public scrutiny, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone," Bay said. "Coach Miller has been a credit to this university and to the basketball coaching profession for a long time. "The Ohio State program has been one of the most respected in the nation under his guidance. Coach Miller's teams have won 20 or more games and have gone to the NCAA tour- nament four of the last six years, and no coach in Ohio State basketball history has had more consecutive winning seasons." Bay said a search for a successor would begin at once. fr" , o SPRING BREAK CAN BE A PAIN' If you're headed to Florida, you know what we mean! But, there is no need to get sunburned this year!
