4 Page 12-The Michigan Daily-Friday, February 5, 1988 FEW MEETS LEFT FOR TANKERS AT MATT MANN POOL 'M' faces Big Ten foes By TAYLOR LINCOLN The men's swim team has not lost a dual meet since the winter of '84. Tonight that streak should be severely tested when 11th-ranked Iowa visits Matt Mann pool at 7:30 p.m. Michigan head coach Jon Ur- banchek maintains a healthy respect for the Hawkeyes. "Iowa has the depth to challenge us for a dual meet, as well as the talent to chal- lenge us in the Big Ten meet i n early March," he said. "They're well stocked for the dis- tance events. Plus they're loaded in the sprint freestyle. They'll be tougher to beat in a dual meet than Stanford was." MICHIGAN shocked the sec- ond-ranked Stanford Cardinal at Matt Mann pool three weeks ago. Iowa's top swimmer is senior Dan Dumford, who swims the freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, as well as the individual medley. "He's the most versatile swimmer in the Big Ten," said Urbanchek. Freshman diver Tomasz Rossa has also bolstered the Iowa corps. According to Urbanchek, he should challenge Michigan's top diver, Lee Michaud. Michaud has yet to be se- riously tested in the Big Ten this year. Tonight's meet will also be the final major event held at Matt Mann pool. There will be two more home meets this year, against Michigan St. and Indiana, but Michigan will be overwhelming favorites to win both. Womenface Indiac Jim Richardson's 10th-ranked women's swim team will take to the water at Matt Mann Pool for the fi- nal time tomorrow against Indiana at 1 p.m. By late summer, the new natato- rium, located on Hoover Street be- tween the IM building and Revelli Hall, will house all swimming and diving meets. Matt Mann will be renovated into an indoor arena for volleyball, wrestling, gymnastics, and women's basketball. Says Richardson, "One of the major things about Saturday is that it is the last dual meet at Matt Mann Pool for us. I'd really like to see a good number of the students and community come out to honor the seniors for the comittment that they have given to Michigan Swimming". MICHIGAN'S seniors include divers Mary Fischbach, Bonnie Pankopf, and Cokey Smith, and swimmer Anne Rood. The meet will have a slightly al- tered format, as the teams will swim the 400 IM and the 4x200 free relay. According to Richardson, "These longer races will give us a chance to look at our people and find good events for them at the Big Ten Championships. "Indiana will come to play. They want to establish themselves before Big Tens. Indiana had the largest re- cruiting class, but they also have had some adversity." The Hoosiers lost their number- one backstroker Heidi Hafner to grades. Hafner also possessed one of Indiana's top butterfly times. Dou- bling the Hoosier's problems in the backstroke is the loss of their num- ber two swimmer Caroline Tesky. She is out due to an injury. But the Indiana ranks will not be totally depleted, as last year's Big Ten 100 free champ Kate McDonald will provide a strong challenge for Michigan's sprint corps led by All- American Susie Rabiah. Says Richardson "The sprints will proba- bly be the best races of the meet." And even with the loss of their top two backstrokers, Dottie Lins- meyer and McDonald will give Indi- ana coach Chet Jastremski a strong one-two punch in the backstroke events. - STEVE ROEDER 4 14 Arbor "orest 721 S.

So, obviously the Boilermakers will have some revenge on their minds this weekend. More impor- tantly, though, this year's contest is a key game for both teams in the Big Ten race. THE TWO squads are tied for first place with 7-1 conference records, and the winner will have the lead heading into the second half of the season. What will Purdue, 18-2 on the season, have to do differently this year? "Play better," Keady simply stated. "We're not worried about last year's game. We're worried about coming in and competing with them this year." If the 11th-ranked Wolverines, 18-3, play anywhere near as well as they did in Wednesday's 120-103 win over Iowa, "competing with them" may be difficult for Purdue. But, the sixth-ranked Boilermakers have had some pretty impressive games themselves and have as talented and experienced a team as there is in the coun- try. "Purdue has an outstanding team and it's going to be a battle - a great game;" Frieder said. PURDUE LOST only forward Doug Lee from last year's 25-5 squad, returning three senior starters and one junior. Eight of its top nine scorers are back also. Seniors Troy Lewis and Everette Stephens comprise one of the best backcourts in the nation. They combine for about 30 points per game and will be a great match for Michigan's tandem of Gary Grant and Rumeal Robinson. Frieder said that containing Purdue's guards will be one of the keys to the game. While many will. look at the backcourt matchup to determine which team has the better pair, Grant doesn't care for reputations or comparisons. "It doesn't make a difference how people play down the road," Grant said. "It's just what happens in that particular game. I hope they have- a bad game because they're a tandem of guards that can hurt you in all ways." " THE Boilermakers' frontcourt can also cause some damage. Senior forward Todd Mitchell is leading the team with 19 ppg in the conference and center Melvin McCants (13.6 ppg) is a physical player inside. Kip Jones rounds out the starting lineup at forward. Purdue has two good bench players in guard Tony Jones and forward-center Steve Scheffler. Now, the Boilermakers will be looking for their biggest win of the year - and revenge. "They're a well balanced and experienced team," Grant said. "And they're going to be fired up because of what happened last year here." 0 . I What's Happening Recreational Sports 14 I SPECIAL EVENT!

The meet - consisting largely of Michigan schools including host Michigan State - has a closed for mat this year where each running and field event will be restricted to either 10 or 20 entry positions, contingent on the standards for that particular event. A confident Henry said, "I expect most of our team to make the (qualifying times) and be able to compete." MUCH OF the coach's opti- mism springs from the women's impressive finishes last weekend in the Can-Am Classic, which the Wolverines deemed their best meet of the season. Henry believes his athletes are still a half a second behind their ideal time in the running events and half an inch short in field event finishes. But he is so assured of their im- provement, that he goes as far as to predict nine Wolverines to qualify tomorrow..
