Wrestlers KO Hoosiers, again
By RICHARD EISEN
Including yesterday's 3 3-7
smashing of Indiana, the Michigan
wrestling team has not lost to the
Hoosiers throughout the Ronald
Reagan era.
Actually, Michigan's winning
streak over Indiana spans the terms
of six presidents.
The last time the Hoosiers beat
Michigan in wrestling was 1959,
when Dwight D. Eisenhower was
president, Elvis was king, and John
Fisher was just a twinkle in his
mother's eye.
FISHER has since grown up to
become a great wrestler, part of an
important combination that makes
thel4th-ranked Wolverines tick.
What combination is this?
"The one-two-three knockout
punch," smiled Michigan's 177
pound Justin Spewock.
The members of the knockout
punch are Michigan's first three
wrestlers - William Waters, Dave
Dameron, and Fisher. The way the
combination works is that those
three wrestlers invariably win,
putting the opponent in a quick
deficit, hence knocking it out.
"Everybody looks for me and
Dameron to win quickly," said the
118-pound Waters. "And everybody
takes (a win from) Fisher for
granted. So, that takes a lot of pres-
sure off of the later weight classes."
Against Indiana, the one-two-
three knockout punch worked per-
fectly.
W A T E R S started it off by
dominating his match with George
Chew taking a 7-4 lead after two pe-
riods. In the third period, he pinned
Chew, giving Michigan a quick 6-0
lead.
One.
Next, Dameron hit the mats
against Pat Marques, and led him af-
ter two periods, 18-7. In the third
period, Dameron followed Waters'
example and pinned his opponent.
Michigan 12, Indiana 0.
Two.
Finally, the All-American Fisher
took on Tony Hunter. Fisher had
pinned Hunter twice before, and
Hunter did not want to be pinned for
the third time in a row. He kept
stalling, and holding Fisher's arms
to keep from being pinned. But
Fisher still won 18-7, giving
Michigan a 16-0 lead.
Three. Knockout.
"I was very pleased with the first
three guys," said Michigan coach
Dale Bahr. "It's hard for the other
team to win when you're down like
that so quickly."
THE MIDDLE of the lineup
didn't let Indiana off the canvas as
142-pounder Larry Gotcher beat
Adam Caldwell, 5-2. At 158,
Michigan's Joe Pantaleo, ranked
fourth in the country at his weight
class, destroyed Jim Pearson, 13-5.
Sam Amine lost a tough match,
2-1, as he had a takedown taken
away because he brought his oppo-
nent to the mat much too hard.
Amine picked up Brian Dolph and in
a move straight from the WWF,
body-slammed him to the mats.
"Yeah, Sam just brought him
down too hard," said Bahr. "If he lets
him down easy, he has two points
and wins the match 3-2."
The only other points Indiana got
were from draws, in matches with
Michigan's Mike Amine and Jerry
Curby.
Rounding out the field for
Michigan was heavyweight Bob Po-
tokar, who won 8-1 and Justin Spe-
wock, who beat Todd Coulter, 6-2.

Week for tallying 27 points against
Illinois and 18 against Minnesota.
"EDWA R DS is going to be a
great basketball player. He really
works hard at it and did as good a job
defensively as anybody that we had
' today," said Hoosier coach Bob
Knight after the loss.
Earlier in the season, Edwards
missed five games due to academic
difficulties. Since his return, he has
averaged 15.7 points per game, sec-
ond on the team to Dean Garrett.
Edwards gained local fame as a
high school senior last year when he
and teammate Lyndon Jones were
named co-winners of Indiana's Mr.
Basketball award. Jones accompanied
Edwards to Indiana after the duo led
Marion High to three straight state
titles.
Edwards is just beginning to
reach his potential at the college
level. Grant, a senior who is destined
for the NBA, probably won't have to
guard him for another few years, if
ever again. But there will be other
Wolverines for Edwards to torment
in the next three years.
Someday, it may be Edwards who
is outscored only once in a blue
moon.

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION:
SUPREME COURT CASES
by Denis Killeen
This book distills two centuries of con-
stitutional development in a comprehefi-
sive and readable manner. More than 450
cases are discussed, many in capsule form.
The narrative flows from the early 19th
century definition of the power of the
Court to strike down a statute as uncon-
stitutional to the recent voiding of a state
requirement that creation be taught with
evolution in the public schools. A triumph
of disciplined clarity.
