Despite gusting winds and frigid tem- peratures, the 20th-ranked Wolverines applied the heat to Northwestern Friday on the outside courts of the Track and Tennis building. Freshman phenom Dan Goldberg ignited the Michigan charge at number one singles, car- ving out a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Northwestern's Matt Akman with the precision of a Swiss wat- chmaker. THE REMAINING Michigan singles players followed Goldberg's lead with straight set vic- tories. Senior captain Jim Sharton contributed a 6-3, 6-0 win at the number two slot while junior Ed Filer volleyed his way to a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Northwestern's Scott Bindley and Ann Arbor native Jon Morris pleased the hometown folks, using a big serve to win 6-4, 6-3 at fifth singles. Mike Pizzutello, another freshman, emerged at the number six position. Although Pizzutello was not part of the traveling squad on the team's Texas trip, he played well back in Michigan and claimed the last singles spot, ac- cording to Eisner. He continued that trend pit- ching in a 6-4, 6-3 win. Michigan's performance in doubles was almost as impressive, suffering its only set- back at the number two slot. Royer and Morris fell, 4-6, 7-5, 2-6, to Northwestern's Bindley and Dan Christian. CONTINUING BAD weather forced Satur- day's match with Iowa indoors to the Liberty Tennis and Fitness Club. Although Michigan dumped the Hawkeyes, 8-1, the margin of vic- tory in the individual matches wasn't as decisive. Eisner credited Iowa, calling the Hawkeyes "a good, solid team." But the Wolverine mentor was most pleased with his own team's performance. "We're working hard on competing day after day," Eisner con- tinued. "Everyday we have to be ready to play." Indeed the Wolverines came ready to play against Iowa. The toughest matches of the day involved Iowa freshman Mats Mamberg. The Swede took Goldberg, the nation's twelfth- ranked junior, to three sets before losing his cool and the match, 2-6, 6-4, 2-6. Mamberg teamed with Scot Shafer at third doubles to gain an element of revenge, sweeping Michigan's Brad Koontz and Chip McColl, 6-3, 7-5. EISNER CONCEDED the third Iowa doubles team was strong, but added, "we just did not play well at third doubles." The Michigan coach, however, couldn't help but smile. "It's important to get off to this kind of start," he continued. "Our goal is to defend the Big Ten Championship. I'm looking for con- stant improvement-particularly mental. Today was a good effort." Senior JimNelson, Iowa's number three singles player, was impressed with the Wolverines. "They've got a lot of excellent players and they're one of the top teams in the Big Ten," he said. "The thing about Michigan is that they're excellent from top to bottom." The pair of wins lifted the Michigan's overall record to 5-5 and 2-0 in the Big Ten. ! 4 Sharton ... helps Wolverines reign Batsmen upset Miami MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) - There was no iov in the Metrodome for the Wolverines with Miami of Florida taking a two-run lead in the top of the ninth inning of the championship game of the second annual Wheaties college baseball tournament yesterday. But Casey was at bat and this time he didn't strike out. MICHIGAN rightfielder Casey Close, batting with the bases loaded, let the count go to 1-2. He then put the next pitch over the left field fence for a grand-slam homer to win it for Michigan, 7-5. Close redeemed himself for allowing the Hurricanes' lead run to score in the top of the inning by throwing over the third baseman's head. Miami scored twice to take a 5-3 lead. Close was picked the Most Valuable Player of the tournament by reporters but the honor was voted at the end of the regulation inning-before his error and homer. The No. 2-ranked Hurricanes, defending NCAA champions, took an early 2-0 lead but Michigan took a 3-2 lead in the sixth with a two- run double by Hal Morris. Relief pitchers Greg Everson of Michigan and Rick Raether of Miami kept things under control until the ninth. Everson got the win and Raether the loss.

Among the surprises were a Detroit short-handed goal, a fairly impressive Red Wing two-way performance, and, of course, the victory. The meaningless Detroit-Toronto matchup drew 16,827 fans. And while the Red Wings finished among the league leaders in attendance, their 17- 57-6 record is easily the league's wor- st. DETROIT opened the scoring as Doug Shedden set up an untouched Kelly Kisio goal at 17:04 of the first period. John Ogrodnick also assisted on the goal, Kisio's 21st. Less than two minutes later, Claude Loiselle chipped in a blistering Mike O'Connell slapshot to give the Wings a 2-0 lead. Red Wing champion Danny Gare- also assisted on the goal, Loiselle's seventh. Ogrodnick deked the beleaguered Maple Leaf goalie, Don Edwards, at 1:50 of the second period to give Detroit a 3-0 lead. The goal, Ogrod- nick's 38th, was unassisted.

University, Suite 250 I- I By PAUL DODD With two of its six top players sidelined with injuries, the last thing the women's tennis team needed was matches with two of the best teams in the Midwest. Sure enough, both Miami of Ohio and Northwestern rolled into the Huron Valley Tennis club last weekend, and, in less than 24 hours, handed the hurting Wolverines a pair of decisive defeats. THE OTHERWISE disappointing weekend was not a total loss for the few loyal fans who sojourned to the outback of Washtenaw County Satur- day. Paula Reichart toppled NU's Katrina Adams, currently the 26th ranked collegiate player in the coun- try, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4, for the only win in the 8-1 loss. "I think this is the first time I've beaten a ranked player in college," beamed an obviously pleased Reichert. "She was a little off her game today, but I feel like I played pretty well." The doubles team of Monica Bor- cherts and Susie Patlovich almost pulled out a win over Kirsten Laux and Kelly Boyse, but came up a little short, falling 3-6, 6-2, 5-7. No other Wolverines won more than two games in a set. Northwestern upped its overall record to 12-3 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten, while the Wolverines fell to 7-9 and 1-4, respectively. Despite a Reichert singles victory and a Recheirt-Erin Ashare doubles win Friday evening, the Redskins had little trouble ploughing through the rest of a make-shift Michigan squad in a 7-2 triumph. Fisticu ffsAssociated Press, Philadelphia 76ers' Sedale Threatt and Boston Celtic Danny Ainge lost control during the third quarter of yesterday's Boston-Philly clash. Threatt was ejected but received the last laugh when the'76ers upended Boston on Julius Erving's last second three-pointer.

Gare and Loiselle assisted on the goal, O'Con- nell's ninth. Miroslav Frycer nudged in a loose puck from the goal mouth for Toronto at 12:50, making it 4-1. Walt Podduviiy and Peter Ihnacak assisted on the goal, Frycer's 32nd. Toronto's Rick Vaive blasted home a 25-foot slapshot after a fine set up by Steve Thomas to make it 4-2. Borje Salming also assisted on the goal, Vaive's 33rd, which came at 17:22. The third period had no scoring, but Red Wing goalie Corrado Micalef, the game's number one star, kept the Leafs off the board with 14 of his 37 saves. Toronto goes on to face the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round of the NHL playoffs this week. For the Red Wings, a long summer lies ahead af- ter their most disappointing season in years.

FRIDAY, MICHIGAN lost a 10- inning, 2-1 nailbiter to the Hoosiers before regrouping and winning the nightcap, 3-0. The opener was lost by a matter of seconds when Pam Craig scored the winning run an instant before Wolverine first baseman Mar- tha Rogers tagged another Hoosier runner for what would have been the final out of the tenth inning. The play, a delayed double steal, was set up by a dropped fly ball. s Rogers summed up her teammates' feelings. "Everyone thinks we should've come out of there with three wins. That first game would have at least gone to eleven innings if we had luck on our side." IN FRIDAY'S second game,, Michelle Bolster hurleda three-hitter as Michigan downed Indiana and Un- terbrink 3-0. "It felt great to beat their ace," said Rogers. "She's one of the top pitchers in the Big Ten and we jus4 hit her all over the place." In the first game of Saturday's twinbill, Michigan took an early lead on the strength of Alicia Seegert's bat and Indiana's repeated fielding miscues. Vicki Morrow provided the pitching that made the lead stand up, raising her record to 6-3 in the Wolverines' 3-1 victory. And then came the rain. By the time the final game began, the field was a mess. Nothing wen right for the Wolverines, who were trounced, 12-0. -SCOTT SHAFFER MINORITY UNDERGRADUATES: WHY CONTINUE?
