By ADAM SCHRAGER
"He has epitomized the turn-
around of the wrestling program
here at Michigan. We cannot afford
to not have Joe McFarland here. I'd
give up lots of things in the
wrestling department, but Joe
would definitely be one of the last."
What do you have to do to

receive praise like this?
FOR STARTERS, you have to
be an internationally renowned
wrestler with an outstanding
collegiate record at Michigan. Then,
you have to be aiding your former
school while training for the 1988
Olympics in a wrestling style you
have known for only a year. Finally

and most importantly, you have to
combine determination, eagerness,
and a "great personality" to add to
the athletic ability.
Joe McFarland, a 1984 graduate
of Michigan, has been receiving
such praise and more by his college
coach Dale Bahr in the last few
months.
Last weekend, McFarland took
second place in the 136.5-pound
weight class of the World Wrestling
Championships at Budapest,
Hungary, after wrestling
internationally for only a year.
McFarland won six matches and
reached the finals against Hazri
Isayev of the Soviet Union. Isayev
escaped with the victory, 5-4, in a
controversial match in which one
judge disqualifyed the Russian for
delaying the match.
"GOING INTO the tournament,
I wanted to do well, but I did not
expect to be in the final,"
McFarland stated. "It's
accomplishments such as these that
give you a great feeling. Now, I
feel like all my hard work and
determination finally paid off."
That attitude has also made
McFarland special to the wrestling
program. "When you see someone
work as hard as Joe does, it is very
easy to see what it takes to
succeed," explained Kirk Trost,
McFarland's roomate and fellow
trainee for the Olympics.
The work ethic at Michigan
earned McFarland the school record
for career wrestling victories. Over
four years, he compiled a 166-23-4
record and was a four-time All-
America.
"JOE WAS definitely one of the
best wrestlers ever at this school
and it was a shame he never won a
NCAA championship," Bahr said.
"He was unlucky to always be in a
difficult weight class and I am sorry
he never won a championship."
McFarland's luck has changed

since his college career. Exactly one

With IM touch football playoffs
just around the corner, last week's
games determined contenders for the
title.
Oil was burning for the
undefeated Latenighters who blinded
Mojo, 8-0. The evening was
intense, "a game marred by many
penalties and cheap shots", then
iced with a "big fight in the
endzone", relayed Latenighter
Garrett Fienderg. Although a hard-
fought battle, he still maitained that
"The games are the highlight of the
week!"
Latenighter Barry Benjamin lit
the scoreboard with the lone
touchdown catch and two-point
conversion, both initiated, by.
quarterback Jamie McNaughton.
If their record remains spotless,
the freshmen Latenighters forsee
themselves ruling IM football for
the next three years.
Chicago Hogs 16, The
Legends 6
The Legends were history after
the Chicago Hogs downed them,

16-6. The Hogs were destined to
dominate when their hefty
linesmen, averaging 230 pounds,
sacked the Legend QB five times.
Offensively, the Hogs played a
one-man game with signal caller
John Yoo passing and running up a
tab of 200 yards. Receiver Chris
Grassi caught the two touchdown
passes, including a 40-yard bomb.

Sigma
Zeta Beta

Chi 14,
Tau 12

The ZBTs took an early lead but
the Sigma Chis regrouped in the
second half to tip the score in their
favor.
The turning point of the game
was a Sigma Chi interception by
Matt Gajda. Catching the spirit,
quarterback Trey Hill passed to Joe
Higgins and Matt Longthore for
two TDs to tie and a two- point
conversion to win. The team is
undefeated with three wins.
D.I.X. 22, Scalpels
"Communication and experience
is the key here" for the undefeated

team said manager Bob DeCarolis.
Both teams agreed that the game
was an aggressive one, but the
Scalpels blamed their loss mainly
on their own disorganization.
Lineman Ernie Sellers is the alumi
leader of the D.I.X., with six years
of experience under his belt.
Simple Minds 36,
The Team 2
The co-rec Team was simply
outscored by Simple Minds
Monday night.
Playing it smart was Bridget
Murphy of the Minds who caught
two TD passes and Jim Towel one,
all thrown by female quarterback
Charmia.
Simple Mind manager Karen
Joslry said "The team looks
promising for Friday's playoffs."
Heartbreakers 12,
Paperboys 0
The Heartbreakers nabbed their

third win of the season while never
allowing their opponent to score.
The excitement was topped when
a Paperboy pass was intercepted in
the endzone.
Alpha Chi Omega
8, Sigma Delta Tau
The ladies battled it out and A
Chi 0 came out on top again,
pushing their two-year winning
streak up to 6-0.
Lawyers Make It
Stand Up In Court
8, Strap Happy
Joeks 0
Meanwhile, the Lawyers
presented their case and won over
the Strap Happy Jocks, 8-0.
The Lawyer defense held the
Straps in their own backfield for
most of the game.
. REM 14, Euglenas
6
The Euglenas were flushed down
the IM toilet last Sunday by Rapid
Eye Movement.
Quarterback/manager Ken Monson
passed to REM teammate Steve;
Butensky to score and then Monson:
ran for the other touchdown.
