4 Hail of Fame Bowl tickets on sale Michigan Ticket Department The Michigan Daily_ SPORTS Women's Basketball vs. Indianapolis Saturday, 2 p.m. Crisler Arena Tuesday, November 24, 1987 TURNOVERS IRK SCHEMBECHLER Bo: Dozen mistakes does in M' By DARREN JASEY Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler took a look back at Saturday's 23-20 loss to Ohio State and started to focus his attention on the Jan. 2 Hall of Fame Bowl in Tampa at yesterday's post-season media luncheon. After the Wolverines committed four turnovers Saturday, Schem- bechler called the 1987 Wolverines his worst turnover team. Yesterday the 19th-year Michigan coach ad- mitted it was actually his second- worst team in that category after checking the record books. According to Schembechler, his first Wolverine team in 1969 had 34 turnovers. This year's squad finished with 30, but bunched 18 of them in the season's three biggest games (seven vs. Notre Dame and Michigan State, and four vs. Ohio State). Schembechler's goal is one turnover per game. "If you can hold your opponent to one (takeaway) a game you're doing a great job," the Michigan coach said, "But 18 turnovers in three games, you aren't going to win those games." But Schembechler noted it was more than turnovers that cost Michigan the Ohio State game, citing 12 plays that helped cost Michigan the game. Here's the highlights of Schem- bechler's comments: -Starting quarterback Demetrius Brown is sacked and sustains a strained knee with less than four minutes remaining in the first quarter. "Up until that time we were totally dominating. Now we took the ball down their and did some things, but what I'm just saying is it started a series of events." -Receiver John Kolesar's 64-yard punt return was called back by an illegal-use-of-the-hands penalty on John Willingham in the second quarter. "That was a chintzy call. I don't think he touched him. I think they just got their feet tangled up." -Ohio State running back Carlos Snow being ruled down before an apparent fumble a few plays after Michigan's Jarrod Bunch fumbled in the second quarter. "We get that ball back and we're at midfield. They don't score. I said a few things to him (the official). I can't tolerate that when everybody in the stadium saw that ball drop." -Snow turning a five-yard catch into 70-yard touchdown play early in the second half. "We've never allowed big plays' before. I have not seen that around here in a long time. But, then again, I've never seen a 98-yard run. Minnesota's Darrell Thompson accomplished that feat against Michigan two weeks before. "(Thompson's run) was the one time in my career that I felt compelled to make that tackle. I had plenty of time to contemplate it. I would have tackled him but he would have put me in the hospital." -Kolesar, who's recovering from mononucleosis, dropping two passes. "You could tell he was under the weather. He usually sucks that ball in. -A fumble by fullback Leroy Hoard late in the fourth quarter after he nearly fumbled on the previous play. "I thought Bunch went in for Hoard. I was going to jump Hoard. He was five yards down the field before he got a hold of the ball." The Ohio State game capped off a difficult and injury-filled season for Michigan, but Schembechler said that a 7-4 record will not keep the Wolverines down heading into the Hall of Fame Bowl. "It was a frustrating season but it's not going to break our spirit," he said. "We got a good group of guys. There's nothing you can do about injuries. They can make or break you. We had too many of them." "I like the Hall of Fame Bowl," he added. "I like the date, and I like the opponent... and I like Tampa."

The tour leaves for Florida Dec. 28 and returns Jan. 2 after the game.

Grapplers strong in opener By RICHARD EISEN The wrestling team officially opened its season this weekend at the Ohio Open in Dayton, winning five medals in the competition. The Wolverines faced competition from six Big Ten rivals along with squads from all over the country, including third-ranked Penn State. "I was really pleased with the way we wrestled," said Michigan head coach Dale Bahr. "We went to a tournament last weekend at Eastern (Michigan), and we looked good. But we looked better this weekend." Nationally-ranked John Fisher led Michigan. Fisher, seeded second in the 134 pound weight class in this tournament, thumped number-one seed Ken Chertow of Penn State, 10- 4, to receive a first-place medal. The coaches also elected Fisher the out- standing wrestler in the tournament. "Everybody (in the tournament) was looking forward to that match, and Fisher just hammered him," said Bahr. Wolverine sophomore Dave Dameron turned in another stellar performance. He finished third in the 126 weight class, defeating Chris Gelvin of Wright State, 5-1. Dameron lost his second match on a last-second takedown and then turned in eight consecutive physical per-. formances to gain third place. Spikers swept by Boilermakers; Vahi stars in home finale "Dave's a very, very exciting wrestler to watch. He's very physi- cal," said Bahr. "In two or three of his matches, if he could have been arrested for mugging on the mat, he would have been." Only three weeks after arthro- scopic knee surgery, Michigan's Mike Amine placed second in 167 weight class. He lost the title match to Jerry Umin of Eastern Michigan. Umin, a returning All-American, scored a two-point reversal to seal his 5-2 win. Joe Pantaleo, another nationally- ranked Wolverine, finished a disap- pointing fifth place in the 158 weight class. Pantaleo held a lead in his first match, 4-3, but during the last seconds he and his opponent were in a scrambled position. The referee went over to the scorer's table at the end of the match and after long deliberation awarded two points for a takedown to Pantaleo's opponent, handing him the match, 5-4. "That was particularly frustrat- ing," said Bahr. "It's like a referee calling another goal after the game is over. Bob Pokotar won the last Michi- gan medal by finishing third in the heavyweight division. Page 8 Power play problems plague Blue offense By KEN GOLDBERG Since Halloween weekend when the Wolverines faced Illinois- Chicago in Ann Arbor, the Michigan special teams have been hurting. Over the six CCHA contests since, the Wolverine power play has converted a horrendous 15.2 percent (5 goals in 33 opportunities), while opponents have reeled off 10 man-advantage scores in 29 chances (34.5 percent). The Michigan penalty-killing unit has slipped from third to fifth in the league since the Halloween night, and the power-play unit has dropped from fifth to seventh (.198), just better than Miami (.197) and Ferris State (.151). "I am pleased with the way we have played overall at this point, considering," said Michigan head coach Red Berenson. "But that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. On the power play, it takes five guys working together, and because of injuries and game circumstances the unit has not been together. It just hasn't been clicking." THE MICHIGAN team is much improved over last season, and k their 7-7 record (compared to 5-9) at this time proves it. But the power play has slipped from last year's 26 percent, and 25 percent the year be . fore. With improved special-teams play, this team might be 9-5. What is more important, though, is the effect poor special-team play can have on a talented third-place team which has realistic league title aspirations. Saturday night at Kalamazoo, Western Michigan scored on three of its seven extra-man opportunites in its 5-1 victory. The Wolverines didn't have many chances, but failed to get many quality shots on goal during a power play at 16:25 of the first period (with Western up 3-0). O'Connor Again at 7:11 of the third (with ... sorely missed Michigan trailing 4-1), the power play faltered. A goal in either in stance may have brought the Wolverines back into a game they never really got into. Several factors have contributed to the lackluster power-play performance. The losses of leading scorer Brad Jones (to graduation) and captain Jeff Norton (to the U.S. Olympic team), both key assets in last year's man-up situations, has obviously hurt. The pair combined for 22 power-play goals last season. INJURIES HAVE taken their toll as well. Myles O'Connor, the point man on the Michigan power-play, has not been 100 percent physically the last few games. Sophomore Bryan Deasley, who saw action for the first time this season after missing the first 12 games with an ankle injury, is a big asset in the slot with his strength and quick reactions. "O'Connor is the key to the Michigan power play," said Michigan State head coach Ron Mason. "He moves the puck so well. When he starts playing like he can and Deasley comes back, their unit will start scoring. With guys like that, along with (Brad) McCaughey out there, they can be dangerous with an extra man." Despite the injuries, the players who have played have been slumping. Senior right winger McCaughey, who led the Wolverines with 15 man-advantage goals last year, and captain Todd Brost (10) have a total of three power-play tallies. "Some of our goal-scorers have been struggling so far," said sophomore defenseman Todd Copeland. "Between the injuries and slumps, the power play hasn't been the same five guys all season. It's tough to get it clicking when you have different guys out there all the time." New Course Announcement Statistics 470: THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS Instructor: E.

Marketing Yourself as a Job Candidate: What to Say, What to Do With Alan Kidd, Senior Vice-President Sandy Corporation Ti io arMax i K ,r nia' "o)7 By MICHAEL SALINSKY Bring out the brooms - again! The volleyball team, in what has become a regular occurrence in 1987, was swept Friday by a Big Ten op- ponent, falling, 8-15, 4-15, 7-15. The sweep marked the ninth time in 16 matches that Michigan has been swept in conference play. This time a strong Purdue squad did the sweeping. The victory at the IM Building raised the Boilermakers record in the conference to 12-4, all but clinching them second place. Illinois had clinched the champi- onship the night before by - you guessed it - sweeping Michigan. Debbie McDonald, a Redford, Mich., native, dominated for the Boilermakers, putting down 10 kills for a .642 attack percentage. Mc- Donald's height and jumping ability was more than Michigan could han- die. Purdue compiled 13 service aces, five each by jump-server Becky Kanitz and topspin-artist Michelle Erickson. "Receiving errors killed us," said Michigan head coach Joyce Davis, "We've had problems adjusting all year." Davis took responsibility for this failure, saying that practice ses- sions have not corrected past short- comings. Purdue head coach Carol Dewey was pleased with her team's perfor- mance even though they "started slowly." Lisa Vahi, Michigan's senior co- captain, had a fitting finale in her last home game for the Wolverines. She led the team with seven kills and 16 assists. It was also somewhat fitting that the team, despite her fine performance, went down to defeat. In Vahi's four years, Michigan man- aged only 13 victories in the Big Ten The Wolverines' record dropped to 3-13, 20-18 overall. Michigan plays at Ohio State and Indiana over Thanksgiving break.
