John Fisher, Larry Gotcher, Joe Pantaleo, and Mike Amine have all advanced to the quarterfinals. Other Michigan wrestlers have suffered early setbacks. William Waters had his college career ended with such a setback. The 118-pounder lost his Thurs- day morning preliminary match by the score of 10-1ito Terry Cook of Nebraska. Waters was out of the tournament when Cook lost the fol- lowing match. Unfortunately for Waters, a successful career might be obscured by poor NCAA tournament showings. "I HATE to go out like this" said Waters. Waters' high school teammate and two-time Big Ten champ John Fisher has thus far done his share to set up his third confrontation this year with John Smith of Oklahoma State in the 134-pound weight class.. Fisher pinned his first opponent at 2:43, then defeated Allan Utter of Pittsburgh 18-4, and Jeff Dearlen of Penn State, 18-7. Fisher next faces Joe Melchiore of Iowa. Larry Gotcher at 142 pounds, de- scribed by Bahr as a "money man , is a man on a roll. Gotcher has looked very impressive in his two wins. After a 16-3 thrashing of Jon Evans of BYU, Gotcher stunned second-seeded and previously un- beaten Kurt Shedenhelm of Northern Iowa, 8-6. "LARRY seems to do whateve it takes to win," said Bahr. Mike Amine, at 167 pounds, seems to be proving for the second straight year that he is a wrestler to be reckoned with. Amine pinned his first opponent in 4:28. His next op- ponent was fourth-seeded John K"hl of BYU. Like Gotcher, the unseedeo Amine upset a favored wrestler. Amine next faces fifth-seeded Jody Karem of Lock Haven. Though he entered the national4 on a down note, 158-pound JoO Pantalco may be hearing victory choruses tomorrow. Things are looking up for the second-place firm isher in the Big Ten. The sixth- seeded Pantaleo has advanced to the quarterfinals with two strong per=, formances. As the end of the first day ap- proached eighth-ranked MichigaA was in eighth place. But as could be seen on the first day of this tourna ment, Michigan's wrestlers will not let rankings determine their future.- -Associated Press Michigan's 118-pounder Will Waters struggles to escape the hold of Nebraska's Terry Cook yesterday in the preliminary round of the NCAA Wrestling Championships. Swofford Continued from Page 1 able for comment. The athletic department personnel and prominent alumni who have close ties to the department all favor Michigan football coach Bo Schem- bechler to succeed Canham. Schem- bechler was offered the job last month, but turned down the offer because it required him to retire from coaching after this season. RICHARD Caldarazzo, an alumnus in Chicago who has been in contact with Schembechler, had been trying to set up a meeting be- tween Fleming and Schembechler in an effort to settle the situation. The goal was to have Fleming rework his offer to Schembechler so that he could serve as athletic director and coach. However, he was unable to get through to Fleming and set up the meeting. A source within the president's office, who requested anonymity, said yesterday that Schembechler would not be offered the job again. Rumors recently have focused on Michigan hockey coach Red Beren- son being named athletic director. Berenson has repeatedly denied this, and said Wednesday that "I get all of my information about this from reading the newspapers." BERENSON and the other Michigan coaches talked with the search committee last October, but says he was never interviewed for the job. Another possibility had Michigan Associate Athletic Director Don Lund being named interim athletic director until Schembechler decided to give up coaching. Lund, who is in Salt Lake City with the basket- ball team, said no one had talked to him about the job.

It starts tomorrow when the team faces Fresno State in Fresno, Calif. The game marks the beginning of Michigan's week-long road trip to the West coast. The Wolverines start the season with a different look as a result of I five first-year players. Losing six seniors to graduation - two of whom, Vicki Morrow and Alicia Seegert, were All-Big-Ten and All- American - Michigan has a lot of ground to make up. "(The rookies) will be an im- provement, but they don't have any experience," Michigan coach Carol Hutchins said. "They will need to adapt to this level of play, but are excited by the newness." A GOOD showing on the west' coast this week should insure a high regional ranking as every team the Wolverines will play is already ranked in their respective regions. Michigan's second-place finish in the Big Ten last season (one game out of first) earned it a bid in the Hardee's National Invitational Tour- nament. The Wolverines responded to their first post-season invitation since 1982 by winning the tourna- ment. However, Michigan wants to at- tend the NCAA post-season tourna- ment in 1988. "Our pitching will be the key," Hutchins said. "If they can keep us in the game, I think our offense will get us the runs we need to win. "I'm pretty optimistic about the season."
