Lisa decided to play with the finger

in the championship game against

Butler.
MICHIGAN received another
outstanding effort from Marie Anne
Davison, who is playing the
offensive game Davis expected from
her. Davison had eight kills
against Morehead St. and a .250
attack pct. in the first two games.
In the finale, she moved that
percentage up to .382.
Michigan was clearly the
dominant team in the tournament.
The Wolverines had 15 service aces
against Morehead State. And
against Bradley, the Wolverines had
43 digs compared to three for their
opponents.
Although Michigan has looked
impressive in non-conference play,
Davis is hoping to see an
improvement in Big Ten play
where the "The bench has improved
considerably over the past couple of
weeks," said Davis. "I'm pleased
with our offense; I think we are
where we ought to be. We now
need to work hard on blocking and
passing, and our transition game
needs work.
"No coaches will ever say they
are satisfied with their teams, but I
am happy with some aspects of the
game. We know where we need to
work and be tough for our
opponents this weekend."

GRIDDE PICKS
Mary Lou Retton, who vaulted
to fame and fortune in the 1984
Olympics, said she is giving up
gymnastics to go to school. She
claims that she wants to fulfill her
lifelong dream of studying to ace
the Griddes contest.
Said the 18 year-old Retton,
"My decision to retire was based on
my feeling that I have achieved the
goals as a gymnast that I set out for
myself several years ago. I have
never picked Griddes, which I have
always wanted to do.
"Besides, I'm sick and tired of
eating Wheaties, 'the Breakfast of
Champions.' I want Pizza Bob's,
the late-night snack of munching
maniacs.
"I realize the pizza doesn't help
my thighs any, but hey, I just can't
resist it."
You too may be able to have
Pizza Bob's if you hand in your
selections to the Student
