Marking the first time a U.S. team has made it to the final round of the tournament, according to club president Michael Lisi, Michigan's losses at the hands of the host UVic Vikings only left the Wolverines with respect for the top ranked club. "THEY PLAYED an extremely disciplined game, more then matching our greater size with tremendous speed and superior rugby skills," said Michigan captain David Argyle. "We had the better of them in the set pieces but it seemed like every time we had the ball out to the backs we lost possession and they scored." UVic's star fullback Mark Wyatt romped in the finals for the Vikings, scoring nine points in the team's 36-3 pounding of the Wolverines. Wyatt, a kicker on the Canadian National team is considered one of the top five kickers in the world.. He lived up to this ranking on Satur- day, scoring unassisted, on one penalty goal and three conversions. Playing minus the services of former U.S. national team member John Hartman, the Wolverines only points came at the hands of scrumhalf Paul Knight. Knight scored two penalty goals in the semi-final match win over Alberta to clinch a berth in the finals. IN THE first round Michigan forfeited before a second- round victory over the University of Calgary. The 28-0 termination of the Canadian team came largely through the action on the front line of the Wolverine squad. The ball was kept in with the forwards who used suc- cessive waves of short runs up the field to keep Calgary in retreat until later in the match when the squad brought in its back line. This strategy worked to advance the club to the quarter finals where it faced the Vancouver Island Valhillians. Michigan took the match 11-10 against this highly talen- ted squad made up of several Canadian national team members. Center Dale Tuttle managed to score for the Wolverines on a run in, but the main action was supplied by prop Ian Chapman who bulldozed his way into the zone carrying several Valhillians on his back. Michigan's semi-final victory was not as exciting. "It was a somewhat anti-climactic match," attributed club president Michael Lisi. "Neither team could mount any offense." Michigan's other squad posted a similar record in the invitational opening the tournament with a 44-0 massacre of Alberta. The team remained victorious through the outstanding play of hooker Paul Lund, center John Lid- dicoat and scrumhalf Curt Small according to Lisi. The loss in the finals came at the hands of University of Vic- toria,14-0. The club has its season opener scheduled for March 22 versus the Cincinnati Wolfhounds. Game time is 12 p.m. at Mitchell Field on Fuller Road.

SPORTS OF THE DAILY: NCAA busts Badgers Special to the Daily The men's tennis team captured all three of its doubles matches against Texas A&M but was unable to win any of the singles matches in a 6-3 loss to the Aggies Tuesday. The match was held at College Station, Texas, and marked the second loss in as many days for the Wolverines, who are in the midst of a week-long sojourn to the Lone Star State. MICHIGAN'S first doubles team, Jim Sharton and Ed Filer, had little trouble with Texas A&M's Paul Haggart and Duane Goldfine. The combination of Jon Morris and John Royer disposed of Chris Stanich and Kimmo Alkao, 6-4, 7-6, before team- mates Brad Koontz and Chip McColl completed the sweep by downing Dean Johnson and Marcel Voz 7-6, 6-3. While the Wolverines had little trouble playing in pairs, the results of their individual efforts were disastrous. Six matches resulted in six losses, the most one-sided of which was Filer's 6-0, 6-1 loss to Voz. Even Sharton, a two-time all-Big Ten selection fell victim to the Aggies, succumbing to Johnson 6-2, 6-4. The. doubles team of Morris and Royer~ fared little better than Sharton. Morris lost Stanich while Goldfine- dropped Royer. The two freshman who appeared in the lineup lost their matches as well, but they proved that they could play- with their opposition. Goldberg fell to Alkao 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. MADISON (AP) - Former Wiscon- sin basketball star Cory Blackwell received a loan from a fan to buy a car pless than four months after getting another loan that has been deter- mined to be an apparent violation of NCAA rules, a report released yester- day said. The report done for the Big Ten school by Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Thomas P. Schneider said it was unclear whether the second auto loan would constitute an infraction of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules. UNIVERSITY of Wisconsin Athletic Director Elroy Hirsch could not be reached immediately for comment. He did not return calls to his office yesterday. Blackwell, who played for the Badgers from 1981 to the end of the 1983-84 season, received a total of concluded in January that the first loan violated NCAA rules because the fan who guaranteed it, Madison lawyer Donald Eisenberg, was a member of a Badger booster club. But Schneider said it was unclear whether Mrs. Onsrud was a booster club member when she loaned Black- well the money for a second car. Blackwell apparently gave his mother the car he had purchased with the other loan, the report said. Mrs. Onsrud's family had con- tributed to the Big Red Basketball Boosters in 1978, 1980 and 1981. But a $50 check she wrote to the fund in 1982 bounced, the report said. Schneider said there was no eviden- ce that any Wisconsin Athletic Depar- tment officials knew about Mrs. On- srud's loan to Blackwell. In his earlier report, Sci nieder said Associate Athletic Director Otto Breitenbach knew about the loan guarantee for the first car but failed to inform the NCAA of the possible rules violation, as required byNCAA regulations.

Fourth Ave. in "Sottini's" LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) - Kirk Gibson hit two homers and Nelson Simmons and Mike Laga one each, but it took Chet Lemon's bases-loaded, ninth-inning single to give the Detroit Tigers an 11-10 exhibition victory over the Cincinnati Reds yesterday. The Tigers led by as much as 8-1 before the Reds stormed back agaisnt / r a parade of relief pitchers. GIBSON, making his first ap- pearance since receiving an injecton over the weekend for his sore left shoulder, drove in five runs with a pair of tape-measure homers, his second and third of the preseason. The Tigers homers and Detroit's shaky relief pitching overshadowed a sparkling pitching performance by Frank Tanana, who went the first five id in innings for Detroit, allowing just one hit, striking out six and walking four. ll in The four Reds Tanana walked all came in the fifth inning, forcing home srud, Bo Diaz with Cincinati's first run. acted CINCINNATI scored two runs in the aper top of the ninth to take a 10-9 lead on a aran- two-run triple by Kal Daniels. ister, Dave Bergman opened the Tigers' m a ninth with a single off Mike Smith, 1- 2.
