Wells is a master sergeant of the United States Army Infantry ROTC Detachment and coach of the Univer- sity's rifle team. Since Wells took over coaching duties in July of 1984, the team has been virtually flawless. It has not lost a single match, and at a recent tournament at Miami of Ohio the team took every possible trophy. Michigan finished second in the league, which also includes Central Michigan, Western Michigan, the University of Detroit, the University of Toledo and Howe Military Academy of Indiana. Despite Michigan's not having lost in the last two years, the first-place finish wasn't a lock until the final match was over. "Eastern's average was really high, and they had been shooting UM, W Dental Info or MEDICAL SCHOOL and DENTAL SCHOOL NIGHT of the team members are female. Top performers, according to Wells, have been Dan Ligon, Erik Blomgren, Bridget Seeger and Elaine Trudell. A stubborn attitude seems to be the key to controlling the rifle butt. The ability to push oneself is most impor- tant, according to team members. "At first I didn't want to go out because A) I was a woman, B) I'd never shot before and C) I was a civilian," said Trudell. "But I went out for it, and pretty much if you stick with it you're on the team." WHILE THE TEAM members en- joy the sport, they realize it is not ac- tion-filled. "We have no fans and there's no glory. It's really boring just to sit there and watch somebody shoot," said Seeger. "It's not a spectator sport," agreed coach Wells. "It's really boring." The participants aren't just sitting a theirebutts, however. Riflery requires supreme concentration. "Most sports have a mental com- ponent to them," said Michigan's Dave Rogers, "but riflery probably more so than others. If you're not psyched up, that can make the dif- ference between a garbage score and a great score." It's not all boring, though.

Considering the team's record the last two years, Trudell and her teammates must be having a ball. Michigan's celebrating has been a source of woe for other league teams. "Eastern was really cocky before we beat 'em," said Seeger. "They whined and complained a lot. (when we were shooting at our range) we always took the right side, and they're always complaining about people walking in the door and the lighting and everything," he said. Eastern returned the favor when Michigan shot at Eastern's range, which is two stories high. Though team members claimed they were at a disadvantage shooting on the top floor, they still were able to pull out a win. Michigan will go to tournaments at Ohio State and Eastern on the fifth of April, which will conclude the season., Wells and his team members are confident, and should the team do well, the coach won't be butting in on their winning ways.

'M' nine rips NC, i a e 4 17-8x From staff reports Special to the Daily WINTER PARK, Fla. - After split- ting the first four games of the 194 season, the Michigan baseball team has won two straight including yeste- rday's 17-8 thrashing of nationally- ranked North Carolina. Wolverine lefty Dave Karasinski picked up his second win of the year, pitching five innings of seven-hit relief. It was the second time this season that Karasinski relieved freshman Jim Abbott, who once again was forced to leave the game in th second inning because of contro problems and nervousness. KARASINSKI lowered his ERA to 2.62. All five runs scored against him in the sixth inning were unearned, as Michigan committed all three of its errors in the frame. North Carolina took a 1-0 lead in the first when Abbott loaded the bases on walks. The lefty from Flint got out of the jam when Michigan pulled an unusual 5-4-5 double play and Abbot completed a pic -off. Michigan- ame right back in the bottom of the inning when outfielder Chris Gust reached second on a single and stolen base and came around on' Casey Close base hit. Close would gather two additional hits for a typical three-for-four game for the senior who is batting .520 on the season. AFTER THE Tar Heels went ahead, 3-1, in the second, Michiga came right back with seven runs of it own. Thirteen Wolverines batted in the inning, with the key hit being an Eddie Woolwine two-run double with the bases loaded. Four runs in the fifth and three in the seventh sandwiched in between by Carolina's five in the sixth put the score at 15-8 Michigan. Gust and Close combined for seven of the Wolverines 12 hits, and nine RBIs. Gust raised his team leadin batting average to .632 with 12 hits in 19 at-bats. Michigan leads the Rollins Baseball Week Tournament in Winter Park, home of Rollins College, as the Wolverines are the only'teamwithout a loss.
