I Page 10 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 30, 1988 Run for the BY PETE STEINERT Scratch the slate clean. The Big Ten football season has arrived. After four weeks of inter- conference play, the run for the roses begins Saturday. Nineteenth- ranked Michigan (1-2) opens its Big Ten schedule against Wisconsin in Madison (Camp Randall Memorial Stadium, 2:05 p.m. EST). "I think we're ready for the Big Ten," Wolverine quarterback Michael Taylor said. "I feel that deep down in our hearts, everyone wants to win the Big Ten championship and go on to play in the Rose Bowl." THE BADGERS' second- year coach Don Morton said, "If I was to bet the farm today, I would bet on Michigan." Knowledgeable fans would not even bet the tractor on Wisconsin (0-3). The Badgers, who have not enjoyed a winning season since 1984, suffered home losses to Western Michigan and Northern Illinois in the season's first two weeks. Their third loss came against Miami (Fla.) last Saturday in Miami. Wisconsin followers will celebrate the 100th year of Badger football on Saturday, and it. appears that will be their only cause for celebration in 1988. "We're 0-3, and we've got to get some things resolved with our football team, particularly from an offensive standpoint," Morton said. TURNOVERS have killed the Badgers. In three games they have coughed up the ball an astonishing 15 times. By comparison, Taylor has yet to throw an interception, and the Wolverines have lost just two fumbles. When asked what has caused his team's rash of turnovers, Morton said: "I wish I was smart enough to know. I guess part of it, we speculate, is we're trying to do too many things." Michigan coach Bo Schembechler said: "You're not going to beat anybody (with that many turnovers). I think they understand that." Wisconsin's butter-fingered offense runs out of a unique formation called the split-back veer, which incorporates the option, a type of running play. "THE CLASSROOM time we spend when we play a veer- option team is tremendous," Wolverine defensive tackle Mark roses Messner said. "You got to have assignments down perfectly to be able to stop that kind of offense." Quarterback Tony Lowery, the conference's freshman of the year in 1987, runs the show for the Badgers. Senior running back Marvin Artley (6-foot-1, 225 pounds) ranks among the Big Ten's best. Last season he rushed for 975 yards and averaged 6.5 yards a carry. Wisconsin has put more emphasis on its passing attack this year, giving the Badgers a more diverse offense. Lowery has completed 49-of-86 passes. Tight end Brian Anderson leads the Badgers in pass receptions with 11. All-Big Ten candidate Todd Nelson anchors an offensive line which lost four starters from a year begins ago. WISCONSIN'S defense returns all 11 of its starters. Against Miami's high-powered offense, it allowed just one touchdown. "We know something about (Miami's) skill offensively, and they did a good job shutting them down," said Schembechler, who has lost to Wisconsin only once in his 20 years at Michigan. The Badgers' inside linebackers, David Wings and Malvin Hunter, lead the team in tackles. Free safety Greg Thomas has played well in the secondary, intercepting two passes and forcing two fumbles. Sophomore Rob Mehring took over the place-kicking duties last weekend and kicked his first field goal as a Badger. He replaced Rich Thompson, who was lost for the year with a perforated ulcer.

Basketball season tickets have been on sale this week, but you will not be able to use your receipt to gain admission to Crisler this weekend. Ticket-takers will be looking for those who are holding volleyball tickets. The women's volleyball team opens its home Big Ten schedule tonight and tomorrow night against Indiana and Ohio State, respectfully. After opening the conference schedule with losses to Northwestern and Wisconsin on the road, the Wolverines are excited to play at home. "WE'RE LOOKING forward to it," said Michigan coach Joyce Davis. "The players enjoy playing in Crisler and it has made life easier. We did not need to travel Thursday, thus enabling us to Crisler Arena practice an extra day." This extra practice is exactly what the Wolverines needed, as Michigan will be forced to make a lineup change with the injury to senior captain Marie Ann Davidson. She will be out indefinitely with a sprained ankle. Indiana brings a 1-0 conference record to Ann Arbor for tonight's game. The Hoosiers, with an overall record of 8-3, have five returning starters from last year's team, which finished fourth in the Big Ten (10-8). Leading the Hoosier attack is senior outside hitter, Liz Armbrustmacher. She was named Big Ten Player-of-the-Week after Indiana's win last week in Columbus against the Buckeyes. D A VIS knows the defense must face up to the challenge Armbrustmacher presents. "We need to concentrate on her," said Davis. Indiana coach Tom Shoji knows it will be difficult to repeat last week's win on the road. "It is tough to play on the road, especially when you don't know much about your opponent. We know their statistics and record, but not much else." Tomorrow night, the Wolverines welcome Ohio State to Crisler. The Buckeyes are led by Linda Mangus and Dawn McDougall. Mangus, named All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 1987,- finished fifth in kills per game in conference play last year, with 3.86 per game. McDougall, highly recruited by Michigan last year, has received plenty of playing time this year and has been a force at the net. MICHIGAN has been preparing to counteract both opponents' strengths as well as getting ready to open the Big Ten home schedule. Sometimes a team responds positively when one of its star players goes down with an injury and other times the team just falls apart. But playing at home in Crisler Arena will help. Everybody loves the home court. Now Traditional attitudes of Islam toward Q5 Jews, not territorial disputes, are the real roots of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The following words of holy hatred blare forth from mosques in Gaza, Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and throughout the Arab world today: "It is outrageous for the Jews, traditionally kept as protected inferiors in Islamic lands, to defeat the Arabs, have their own State, and cause the contraction of the World of Islam." - Sheikh Nadim al-Jisr of Lebanon "The resurrection of the dead will not come until the Muslims will with the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them ... the trees and rocks say, 'O Muslim, O Abdullah, here is a Jew behind me, come and him.'" - Muhammad "They [the Jews] spread evil in the land..." - Koran, Surah V, v.62-66 war will kill "Allah fighteth against them [the Jews]. How perverse they are." - Koran, Surah IX, v.30 Islamic legal doctrine holds that the Jewish State of Israel diminishes the World of Islam and that Israel must be destroyed to achieve peace. There are indeed passages in the Koran that extol virtues of belief in one God, charity, peace, and love. These are not the passages currently being cited by Islamic leaders. We urge Muslim leaders to forgo messages of hate, destruction, and violence against Jews and Israel in favor of peace, brotherhood and tolerance. Ever consider studying in...
