MARTIN The women's swim team traveled all the way to Ypsilanti this weekend to beat' Eastern Michigan, 92-46. The meet, which served mostly as a tune- up and chance to swim new events, was as one sided as the score in- dicates. The Wolverines were led by swim- ming phenom Susie Rabiah who used the Hurons' pool as if it were her own playground. She combined on four victories for the Wolverines, three of them individual triumphs in the 100- yard backstroke, 50 freestyle and 200 individual medley. The fourth came in the 200 medley relay, in which she combined with Candice Quinn, Christi Vedejs and Cecillia Sheenan. "SUSIE RABIAH is a very solid swimmer. She's very versatile," said Eastern Michigan coach Mary Ellen Olsece. "Her times would be real competitive in our league (MAC)." The outmatched Hurons (0-8) avoided head to head competition with the Wolverines. "It was the type of meet we knew Michigan would be very strong in," Olsece said. "Being competitive with them is not within our ability." Instead the Hurons tried to swim through the Wolverines (11-6-1, 4-3 Big as 2%g@P1 Daily Photo by SCOTT LITUCHY The women's swim team, after a convincing victory over Eastern Michigan, is set to plunge into the Big Ten Cham- pionships next week.

Jim Richardson's troops used the same tactic in their dealings with the Hurons. The Big Ten swimming championships are just around the corner starting February 27. While the Wolverine swim team is where Richardson expected it to be this time of the season, he still has doubts as to how the Wolverines will fair in the championships. Men sink Buckeyes Although the swim team left its top five men in Ann Arbor, the freshmen seemed to steal the spotlight during the Wolverine's 71-42 drowning of Ohio State Saturday in Columbus. "We didn't take our best team down," said head coach Jon Urban- chek. "This meet opened doors for the younger swimmers, and gave them the chance to get some good com- petition. "THIS GIVES the other swimmers a chance to rest up and start tapering for the Big Tens," Urbanchek, said. Tapering is strategy usually used just once a season. It allows swimmers to cut back on their total training mileage and prepare for an important meet. One of the freshmen who had the opportunity to show his stuff against the Buckeyes was Dan Dewhurst. Dewhurst had wins in both the 100- yard and 200-yard breaststroke events with times of 59.52 and 2:12.11, respec- tively. "The walls (of Ohio State's pool) are tricky," said Dewhurst. "They don't have any gutters, so there's nothing to grab onto when you turn. It detracts from the speed, especially in the 100 (breaststroke.)" DEWHURST ALSO teamed with Mike Creaser, Dave Goch and Joe Parker to take the 400-yard freestyle relay in 3:55.82. Freshman Bill Kopas added a victory, in the 1,650-yard freestyle with a time of 15:39.04. Although this was an important vic- tory for Michigan, the team has set its sights on winning the conference championships. Undefeated in dual meets, ranled first in the Big Ten and ranked in the top 20 in the nation, the Wolverines have a good shot at the league title. "We're coming along according to plan," Urbanchek said. "We're shaping up and right now we're looking to the Big Tens." Sophomore Mike Creaser agreed, "Right now we're looking good. Our biggest competitors at Big Tens will be Iowa and Indiana." Creaser said he hopes the championships will once again help him improve his time in the 100-yard backstroke enough to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Dewhurst, however, said the team comes first. "For the team tohwin at Big Tens is our main goal," he said. "For myself, to place in the top eight, will be a goal." The Wolverines take on Michigan State this Saturday at Matt Mann pool. After that, the road leads to In- dianapolis and perhaps Michigan's firstconference championship in 26 years. -DEBBIE de FRANCES Blue Lines Falcon migrates ... ** esomething's a-fowl By SCOTT G. MILLER CCHA Transaction of the Week Bowling Green - Traded sophomore defenseman Doug Claggett to Ohio State for future considerations. R IDICULOUS? Not necessarily. This past weekend Buckeye Doug Claggett appeared in Yost Ice Arena for the second time this season. But in his first appearance against the Wolverines, he was in a Falcon uniform. While awkward, the scenerio was legal according to the NCAA transfer rule, which allows a player to transfer and play for another school as long as the institution he is leaving signs a waiver. Since this situation is rarely encountered during the same season, the circumstances surrounding the Claggett case are as peculiar as one would expect. Both Claggett and Bowling Green coach Jerry York agreed that the defenseman's dismissal was caused by training violations. Then the story gets convoluted. "I broke a training rule along with about seven other guys, and he (York) picked me out as an example," said Claggett. "I wasn't too pleased with it. Obviously, I picked Bowling Green because I wanted to spend four years there." "Doug was disciplined from our team because of an infraction of training rules," said York. "Claggett was the only player that broke our training rules. If there were more players (involved), more would have been suspended." Something may be rotten in the state of Ohio. Nothing was rotten though for Claggett's new coach Jerry Welsh. The Buckeye head man was more than happy to acquire a steady defen- seman. "Doug is a good hockey player," said Welsh. "He is a great kid. I may be premature in saying that. From what I can tell and research, he is an ideal kid. We have only great things to say, about him thus far." k: Coaches just don't dismiss ideal kids, but York felt he had no * choice. "We have certain training rules. We take a hard line approach. You can't have rules unless you can enforce them," said the 14-year head ?". coach, now in his seventh season at Bowling Green. "For us to say+' 'he broke a training rule, but h is Clagget a good player. We are just going to look the other way this time' isn't the way we work here." Recently, the Falcons' defense hasn't been working well. Claggett's presence has been missed, as Bowling Green's 6-8 record since his depar- ture would attest. "We can't replace a Doug Claggett. He could really help us," said York. "Maybe some of the defensive problems we have are because Claggett isn't here." If York suspended the defenseman for only disciplinary reasons, his ac- tions were laudable. However, if others violated team policy, questions arise from the decision. The entire incident raises questions not only about the manner in which Claggett was treated but also the transfer rule. "I think the waiver rule is a good rule for some people," said Michigan team captain Frank Downing. "If trades start occurring, then it is not good for the kids and the school. Especially if something starts going bad, they (the student- athlete) can say 'hey I want to go somewhere else' and they won't stick it out." Hopefully, the Claggett ordeal won't be repeated. As of August 1 of this year the NCAA is changing the waiver rule. Hockey players will have to remain on the sidelines for a year when transferring. In other hockey developments : " Number one jinx? Since Bowling Green was rated the number one team in the nation the week of January 6, the Falcons have lost eight of their last twelve contests. Bowling Green split this weekend with CCHA doormat Miami of Ohio to run its record to 1-7 in its last eight games. Conversely, Michigan State, Western Michigan and Lake Superior are all 7-1 in the same span. " Bowling Green's problems multiplied in the 7-6 overtime loss to Miami Saturday. Workhorse goalie Gary Kruzich'sribs were bruised when a Miami player knocked him into a goal post. X-rays were negative, but he may be unable to play this weekend.

(AP) - Michigan State basketball star Scott Skiles will serve a divided 30-day jail term for a probation violation in order to avoid missing classes, his lawyer said yesterday. "We agreed today that he could serve it in two sessions. He could ser- ve part of it on spring break and part of it at the end of the school year so he doesn't miss any school," Kokomo at- torney Charles Scruggs said. The divided term is part of a ten- tative agreement with prosecutors who filed to revoke Skiles' probation on a misdemeanor drug conviction af- ter he was arrested Nov. 7 in East Lansing on a charge of drunken driving. Skiles has pleaded innocent to the charge. The agreement between Scruggs and Marshall County Prosecutor Fred R. Jones must win the approval of Circuit Court Judge Michael D. Cook, who will consider the agreement at a 1 p.m. hearing Friday.
