Page 10-The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, April 13, 1988 SPORTS OF THEMDAILY: Netters trample Michigan St. I By TAYLOR LINCOLN Despite head coach Brian Eisner's concerns about a possible letdown following last weekend's solid vic- tory over Illinois, the men's tennis team soundly defeated Michigan State yesterday. The Wolverines won the first eight matches, with the no. 1 dou- bles match pending at press-time. The Wolverines were only tested in their no.1 and no. 2 singles matches - the rest of the team coasted to easy victories. Ed Nagel, at no. 1 singles, coasted to a 6-2 victory over Michi- gan State's Santiago Cash in the first set, but had to fight back from a 5-2 deficit in the second set to win 7-6. At no. 2 singles, Dan Goldberg fought off a determined Fernando Belmar 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. "I didn't play very well in the first set, but I still won fairly easily," said Goldberg. "So I thought that I would get away with just playing mediocre. "(But) my concentration was a little off and I lost the second set. It took me a while to get going." Malivai Washington, at no. 3 singles defeated Michigan State' Paul Mesaros 6-4, 6-2. Jon Morris, Brad Koontz, and Jean Roussel, at the fourth through sixth singles slots, lost a total of only five games in dispatching their opponents. "Overall I was pretty pleased," said Eisner. "The scores were fairly decisive." MSUOIL tap today Playing your arch rival can either increase your performance to its best, or it can end a hot streak. Michigan's Softball team hopes that its doubleheader against Michi- gan State in East Lansing today will force them to play just a little bit better so the Spartans do not put a halt to their recent win streak. Michigan, coming off of a pro- ductive Big Ten roadtrip in Iowa, is 7-1 .in their last eight games and looking for two more Big Ten victories at State. Should they win, Michigan would be in sole posses- sion of first place in the Big Ten. State lost three of four to Indiana last weekend and that is exactly what concerns coach Carol Hutchins. "They (MSU) start slow every year and play their best against us. We usually struggle and win by one." That was the case last year as Michigan won all four games the two teams played - two of the vic- tories by two runs or less. -By LORY KNAPP PASS PORT PHOTOS $7.95 With this M.

On October 14, 1988, the opening day of Kansas Jayhawk basketball practice, outspoken and loquacious television commentator Dick Vitale will be scrubbing the floors of the Phog Allen Field House. This humorous debacle will transpire all because Jayhawk head coach Larry Brown chose last Friday to remain at Kansas, contrary to rumors that he would coach elsewhere next season. Over the past few weeks, earlier this season, and every other season that Brown has roamed the plains of Lawrence, Kansas, basketball con- noisseurs including Vitale, have assumed that Brown would leave Kansas in the near future. Granted, their speculation was somewhat warranted considering that Brown had coached three professional teams and two college teams in the 16 years of his career. His decision to stay at Kansas will mark the first job that he has held for more than five seasons. THE RUMORS circulating since Kansas claimed the national championship less than two weeks ago were that Brown would carry on as a wayward son and make peace only when he was done announcing his intentions to reassume the coaching duties he held from 1979-81 at UCLA. In fact, most everyone believed they were rumors no longer, but instead certainties after Brown's meeting with Bruin officials last Thursday. UCLA Athletic Director Peter Dalis had scheduled a press conference to announce Brown's hiring. Kansas' Sports Informa- tion Department had prepared statements concerning possible replacements for Brown. Worst of all, an assistant Kansas Athletic Director said minutes before Brown's press conference, "It's all over. He's as good as gone." While everyone was nailing the coffin shut on Brown's tenure at Kansas, critics started to attack the New York native for his wander- % ing fetishes, which have come as often as indictments in President' Reagan's administration. Com- ments such as, "He can't hold a job for any period of time," and1 "Will he ever stay put," sprung up everywhere, particularly in bas- ketball circles., While these people criticized Brown's previous travellingy agenda, they forgot the important things that he brought to KU in his five seasons there - recruits, talented teams, victories (135), Kansas' coach Larry Brown led his conference championships, two then surprised his critics by spurn final four appearances, and a na- s h r Despite all of Brown's critics, he's still the Wizard of Oz tional championship. I am not advocating Brown's previous nomadic tendencies, but in this case, his departure was definitely excusable. Departure considerations aside, Brown should be deemed a coaching wizard. When Lawrence fans start chanting, "Oz, Oz, Oz," they are not cheering for nearby St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Ozzie Smith, but in- stead for their apparently shy, demure coach, who creates miracles almost as often as it rains in Ann Arbor. IN HIS BEST Steven Spielberg impersonation, as an award- winning director, Brown steered Best Actor nominee Danny Manning and Best Supporting Actor choices Milt Newton, Chris Piper, Kevin Pritchard, to a national championship victory over Oklahoma. This accomplishment should go down as one of the greatest coaching jobs in history. The Jayhawks battled adversity throughout their season. Archie Marshall, NCAA tournament star of two years past, hurt his good knee in his first season back since reconstructive knee surgery. Starting cen- ter Marvin Branch, who was expected to take much of the pressure of All-World Manning, was declared academically ineligible. In all, the season was trying for Brown, to say the least. 9 DON'T SEND YOUR WINTER CLOTHES HOME - STORE THEM FOR THE SUMMER! GOLD BOND CLEAN ERS 332 Maynard 668-6335 Kansas, with the most losses ever for a championship team (11), accomplished the unthink- able. Nobody thought that this team could gel as they did and mold to form what some are call- ing the "greatest upset in tourna- ment championship history." Whether Larry Brown was to leave Kansas or to stay does not matter now. Wherever he goes and whatever coaching jobs he takes, he will do what he does best -- win games. "I used to take -walks with a guy who would say sometimes, 'You've got to stop and smell the roses,"' said Brown after his, 83- 79, title victory. I may be wrong, but I always thought that roses were important in college football, not in college basketball. With his coaching expertise, I wouldn't doubt that Brown could obtain those football roses. Just give him a few seasons. Hope- fully, he'll stay that long. -Associated Press S team to the NCAA championship and ing a lucrative offer by UCLA to stay. wim meuu .iyiawks. 0 l r *HONORS5SUMMER READNGPROGRAM (Sponsored by theL.S& A.
