Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 4, 1986 Harriers qualify for NCAA Districts BY JIM DOWNEY The second time proved to be a charm for the women's cross country team. Running for the second time this season on Ohio State's course, the Wolverines placed fourth at the Big Ten Championships, held Saturday at Columbus. "I couldn't have hoped for us to do any better," said Michigan coach Sue Parks. "Our finish, only twelve points out of second place, shows a good effort on the girls' part." WISCONSIN, two-time defending national champion, ran away with the title, gaining a low score of 30. Iowa and Northwestern tied for second with 114 points. Parks admitted that running the course earlier in the season was an advantage. "We were aware it was a flat course," she said. "That allowed me to gear our workouts in a certain way. I think our improvement showed." Last month at the OSU Invitational, freshman Mindy Rowand led the Wolverines with a time of 18:06. Saturday, the top six runners were all packed in between 17:07 and 18:04, with Rowand taking team honors while finishing 16th overall. Cheri Sly was the second Wolverine to cross the line, placing 19th in the field. Kelli Bert ran third. HAVING PUT the Big Ten behind them, the Wolverines are now looking to the NCAA Districts in two weeks. "If we're able to make up the twelve points to Iowa and Northwestern, I like our chances of going to the nationals," said Parks. The men's team, despite outstanding performances from Chris Brewster and John Scherer, finished fifth last weekend. B R E W S T E R captured the meet's individual title with a time of 24:06.6. Scherer placed second overall, checking in at 24:16. Brewster is the first Wolverine to win the Big Ten since 1977. His one-two finish with Scherer marks the first time Michigan runners have ever captured the top two spots. "They were our saving grace, said Wolverines coach Ron Warhurst. "Finishing fifth allows us to compete as a team at the NCAA Districts." Wisconsin's men made the meet a Badger sweep, accumulating only 48 points. Illinois(70), Indiana(78), and Purdue(97) also tallied lower scores than Michigan's 126. The Wolverines' finish represented an improvement over last season's sixth place mark, but goals for the Big Ten had been set higher. Still, Warhurst remained optimistic. "The sun rose today and it'll rise tomorrow," he said. 'We'll be back." Next up for both the men's and women's teams is the NCAA District meet, Nov.15 at Normal, Ill. 4 4 Warhurst ...happy with fifth Michigan swimmers cruise by Indiana, 65-30 By ALLEN GELDERLOOS The men's swimming team, last year's Big Ten champions, began the Big Ten season last Friday in Indianapolisagainst a traditionally strong Indiana squad. The Hoosiers were about as strong as the Illinois football squad, " however, and the Wolverines rolled to a 65-30 win. Leading the Michigan attack was All-America and Goodwill Games medalist, Dave Kerska, the only double winner of the meet. Kerska recorded victories in the100 freestyle (45.9) and 200 freestyle (1.41.2). Kerska also anchored the winning freestyle relay that featured Joe Parker, Brent Lang, and Mike Creaser. Other individual winners for Michigan were Creaser and Marty Moran in the 200 backstroke (1.57.6) and 200 butterfly (1.52.5), respectively. Creaser and Moran teamed with Jan-Erick Olson and Parker in the medley relay for a winning time of 3.28.5. Blue Lines By DARREN JASEY . " . ; ;; ,, , , 1 % °,,, . . n . ' 1 , .

(AP) - Kenneth Mark Fobbs, who was sought in connection with the Len Bias death investigation, surrendered Monday to the Prince George's County sheriff. Fobbs, 25, was charged with perjury in a sealed indictment returned last Thursday by the grand jury investigating the June 19 cocaine-induced death of the University of Maryland All- If Your Hair Isn't Becoming to You - You Should Be Coming to Us. DASCOLA STYLISTS Liberty off State ....... 668-9329 Maple Village........761-2733 American. F OBBS was arrested at about 10:30 a.m. by Sheriff James Aliusu at the sheriff's office. Sheriff's department spokesman Lt. Col. Art DiGennaro said Aliusu and Fobbs' lawyer, Joseph DePaul, had been talking since Friday to arrange Fobbs' surrender. "The lawyer called the sheriff Friday. They talked again Saturday and decided to bring him in Monday," DiGennaro said, adding that the lawyer was concerned about the bond and the way Fobbs would be treated upon arrest. DiGENNARO said the sheriff's deputies had been seeking Fobbs since Thursday when the indictment was issued. DePaul said Fobbs heard that he had been indicted through the local news media and sought DePaul to represent him. Both television and newspaper reporters were saying Thursday that Fobbs was the subject of the secret indictment. DePaul said arraignment originally scheduled for Friday would be waived and he would proceed with preparing motions. He said he did not expect a trial until at least February. FOBBS was released on his own recognizance shortly after being arrested. The maximun penalty for a perjury conviction is 10 years in prison. The Washington, D.C. resident was the roommate of Brian Lee Tribble, who is accused of supplying the cocaine that killed Bias. Fobbs testified twice before the grand jury that has been gathering information on the death since July. L ast year at this time the Michigan hockey team had a respectable 4-4 record that included victories over Bowling Green and Michigan State. But as time wore on the Wolverines wore out . They dropped their last 10 games. This year Michigan was supposed to be vastly improved. And an impressive opener against Bowling Green really opened the eyes of Michigan fans. But the Wolverines have not lived up to their billing. THEY ARE now 2-6 including two losses to the expected league doormat Miami Redskins. They have also lost 11 road games in a row - their last six last year and five this year. The team's last two losses occurred over the weekend, 5-2 and 13-3 to Illinois-Chicago. They were sickening losses. In the first game the team couldn't finish things off in the Flames zone. Michigan took 33 shots at goalie Jim Hickey and couldn't put more than two past him. But the worst thing the Wolverines did Friday night was eat after the game. THAT IS if the food is indeed what made one- third of the team sick. Nobody could quite put their finger on the problem. Head coach Red Berenson and his staff pointed to the meal they ate Friday night at the Hyde Park Hilton as the probable culprit. Whether it was the chicken or the vegetables didn't matter. It was something that couldn't be helped, and the Flames came away with two easy points and a shortage of Pepto Bismol. Still, twenty-four conference games remain for the Wolverines, whether the team is healthy or not. Early season action around the CCHA indicates that Red Berenson's eafly season goal of a fourth-place finish is not out ofileach. FOUR WEEKS into the season the CCHA standings seem to predict a dogfight for post-season position. All the teams currently behind first and second place Michigan State and Bowling Green will fight it out for the third and fourth spots (home ice playoff positions). "I still say Michigan is my darkhorse in the CCHA," said Bowling Green head coach Jerry York. "I said so at the start of the season." "I don't think there is anyone we've played that I honestly don't think we are capable of beating," said Berenson. (After Michigan State and Bowling Green) everyone else is in a fight for the final seven positions in the league."" MIAMI has been the league's biggest surprise so far. It has a 3-5 record despite four successive losses to Michigan State and Bowling Green. "Our record (5-1, 7-1 overall) is a little deceiving," said Bowling Green head coach Jerry York. "We dodged a couple of bullets at Miami last weekend and besides Lake Superior we really haven't been running on all eight cylinders." Bowling Green and Michigan State are clearly the CCHA's best. Both have won the last two national championships and have brought the CCHA national prominence. Now the conference's lower echelon teams are getting better. "That's what is great about the league teams like us, Miami, and Michigan," said Illinois-Chicago head coach Val Belmonte. "They keep on improving and working hard and making the league great. It's not just a two-team league." "A team can move from sixth to third in a weekend if a team sweeps," said Michigan State assistant coach Terry Christensen. That's what keeps the Wolverines alive. The possibility of moving up in a balanced league. 1 This holiday season, get the' 'Write Stuff' at the rightprice. A 41 Now you can get the competitive edge when classes begin in January.
