Men's Basketball vs. Ohio State Thursday, 7:30 p.m. Crisler Arena, PASS TV SPORTS CCHA Finals Friday, Saturday Joe Louis Arena Wednesday, March 5, 1986 Page T The Michigan Daily THREE WOLVERINES POST SHUTOUTS a 'M' women netters leave Calvin cool By PAUL DODD After spending a week honing their games in Florida over spring break, it was back to indoor play for the women's tennis team Tuesday. The well-tanned netters burned Division III foe Calvin College, 9-0, to make the homecoming a happy one. "Matches like this are confidence builders for us," said coach Bitsy Ritt upon completion of the massacre. "It's just like the basketball team playing Northern Michigan. Our players can work on parts of their game that they couldn't in normal matches." MICHIGAN upped its overall record to 3-5 on the year while the Knights fell to 0-2. To anyone in the crowd of the 50 or so people on the steel bleachers of the Track and Tennis Building, it was clear from the start which team would dominate the match. Senior Paula Reichert, in her usual No. 1 singles spot, stood out on the center court and simply blew away the Knights' top gun, Sue Penning, 6-0, 6-0. Many of Reichert's baseline shots were too hard for Penning to return. LESLIE MACKEY continued her solid play in the No. 3 spot, downing Laurie Harmeling, 6-0, 6-3. The three games Harmeling won were the most of any Calvin player and equalled the games won by the other five singles players combined. It was the fifth win the last six outings for the Grosse Pointe Farms sophomore, who hadn't posted a win all year before the MSU Invitational in January. "We need to start playing more consistently as a team," Ritt said af- ter her squad returned from Florida wiith two wins in three matches. "Our top three players are right at .500 for the year, but our bottom three (singles players) haven't done that well." LIFE WAS even easier for Nos. 4 and 5 Tricia Horn and Monica Bor- cherts as they cakewalked through their two-set wins without losing a game. Tina Basle played with a nagging blister on her left wrist, but still throttled Val Betten, 6-1, 6-0, in just 35 minutes. In doubles' play, it was more of the same, as Michigan lost only six games in sweeping the three matches. Playing in the confines of the Track and Tennis Building was a long way from the sun, wind and occasional rain of Florida, where the Wolverines defeated Stetson and Indian River Junior College after losing to Rollins College. IN THE 8-1 loss to Rollins, all six singles players were beaten, although four of the matches went three sets and Mackey was defeated in 'Matches like this are confidence builders for us ... it's just like the basketball team playing Northern Michigan.' - Bitsy Ritt a third-set tiebreaker. High winds and a lack of experience playing outside hampered the Michigan effort. The victory at Indian River may not show up on the Wolverines' overall record, even though IRJC is one of the top five junior college squads in the nation, according to Ritt. Horn was the only losing singles player, going three sets before being defeated. Ritt was not happy that two of the three losses in the 6-3 triumph came in doubles' competition. "Sometimes our doubles' play is good, and sometimes it's bad," Ritt noted. "The same goes for singles. We have to be more consistent top to bot- tom." Stetson picked up two wins in singles and one doubles win while falling to the Wolverine netters, 6-3. It was a rude introduction to Division I,' play for Stetson in its first year as a Division IA team. Denny McLain in trouble agam ATLANTA (AP) - Denny McLain, a two-time Cy Young Award winner serving a 23-year prison term, was ordered yesterday to spend 15 days in isolation for having unauthorized documents, according to a lawyer representing inmates at the federal penitentiary. McLain claimed he is being punished because he is suspected of leaking documents showing the prison staff ordered pornographic videotapes and because he has writ- ten judges, senators and lawyers to complain about poor conditions and mismanagement at the prison. McLAIN SPENT eight days in "disciplinary segregation" before Tuesday's meeting of the prison disciplinary committee. The commit- tee gave him 15 more days in isolation and subtracted 10 days from the "good time" he can accumulate toward early release, said attorney Gary Leshaw. Prison officials acted against McLain two days after The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution reported that prison officials had or- dered pornographic videotapes and $700 worth of football tapes. Warden Jack Hanberry canceled the order and said he would take disciplinary action against any em- ployee who knew the nature of the pornographic tapes. Leshaw was not allowed to attend the disciplinary meeting. He quoted a statement McLain read at the meeting as saying, "Someone...fraudulently or- ders tapes and I become the scapegoat for this administration. The warden is embarrassed, but don't take it out on me." McLain was accused of having file folders, an accounting book, purchase orders, a budget for the prison kit- chen, a list of equipment and instruc- tions on filing a lawsuit, according to Leshaw. Leshaw called it "a bunch of junk," much of which was found at a desk used by many inmates. McCLAIN's STATEMENT said in- mates and officers have told him o kickbacks and inmates performing personal work for prison staff mem- bers. He said he has been told of "new parts, working parts in motors, still sealed in original boxes, all shipped out of here as either garbage or scrap." Prison spokesman William Noonan said the allegations will be in- vestigated if McLain makes them through official channels. McLain was convicted of extortion drug dealing and racketeering. He won 31 gaves as a pitcher for thO 1968 world champion Detroit Tigers and captured the Cy Young Award in 1968 and 1969.

Wormen tankers nab fifth By DEBBIE deFRANCES A new paragraph will be added to the Big Ten history book noting the women's swim team's performance March 1 in Schroeder, Wis. The Wolverines did not win the conference championships. They did not even finish in second place. THE FINISH not only won the Wolverines a mention in conference history, but was one that coach Jim Richardson is pleased to have. "We were pre-season ranked to finish seventh in the Big Ten," said Richardson. "Aside from Iowa who was picked to finish third and tied for second, we were the only other team to. move up. "We almost took fourth also. We were only 27 points out of fourth place." MICHIGAN'S FAILURE to finish fourth could have been due to the flu. The day before the Wolverines left for Wisconsin, four of its 12 members were sent to see the team doctor. Richardson feels speculation into "what could have been" is unnecessary and is content with his team's per- formance. "I think we swam extremely well," Richardson said. "I think we did bet- ter than we ever thought we would. That's a tribute to the young ladies who swam." STACY FRUTH and Christi Vedejs shined in their events. Fruth won the 1,650-yard freestyle with a season best time of 16:38.35 minutes. Vedejs took the 200 yard breaststroke in 2:20.9 and also recorded a season best. Vedejs was one of only three swimmers to defend their title. Vedejs and Fruth also qualified for the NCAA cham- pionships. Divers Bonnie Pankopf and Lee Ann Grabovez had an outstanding day in the one-meter diving com- petition, placing second and third, respectively. Richardson's main concern right now is to keep Vedejs and Fruth in good health for the NCAA's, March 20-22. "IF WE can just stay healthy then we'll have some good opportunities to place," Richardson said. With his first season at the helm of Michigan's women's swim program tucked away, Richardson likes the team's overall results and looks to a future of a larger squad. "This was supposed to be a rebuilding year," Richardson said. I i chal-lenge (chal'enj) n. 1. anything that calls for special effort.

But it was the first time in Big Ten history that a team with as few as 12 members had managed to finish higher than seventh at the conference championships. MCAT STUDENTS.
