4 Women's Volleyball vs. Michigan State Wednesday, 7:30 p.m. Crisler Arena -SPORTS Monday, October 3, 1988 Football vs. Michigan State Saturday, 3:30 p.m. Michigan Stadium The Michigan Daily Page 10 SNAP JUDGMENTS BY MICHAEL SALINSKY SPECIAL TO THE DAILY MADISON - Did you see Tony Boles go? Did you see Chris Horn burst into the end zone? Of course you did, but did you see the guys who really made those plays - those off-to-the-races runs - leading Michigan to its 62-14 domination over Wisconsin on Saturday? Dohring. Dingman. Vitale. Husar. Skrepenak. The names are less familiar, but the players are not less important than the high-profile running backs. They may even be more important. "I just run the ball, do what I have to. The offensive line left the holes open for me," said Michigan tailback Tony Boles after his 179-yard performance. Wisconsin head coach Don Morton called it the most dominating offensive line he has ever had to face. The Wolverines didn't out- finesse Wisconsin. They didn't win with strategy. They mashed 'em. THEY DID THE MASH. Just looking at the lineups, you had to think something like this could happen. Michigan's front five averages 6-foot-4, 288 pounds. The Badger's front four are measly in comparison, averaging 6-4, 246. "You got a 325-pound guy in front of you, it makes it pretty easy for the back," said Wisconsin Michigan monsters mash Badgers' defense defensive end Don Davey. "They're big strong guys just like Michigan always has... these guys are just monsters, you know." THEY DID THE MONSTER MASH. Yeah, Wisconsin was an embarrassing 0-3, but this was no second- class defense. Every player is a returning starter, and just last week the Badgers held No. I Miami to only one touchdown on offense. "We were fired up and ready to go after these guys," Davey said after the game. "I guess (the first few series) kind of took the wind out of our sails." If any play could take the wind out of a team's sails, it was Boles' 55-yard touchdown run on Michigan's first play from scrimmage. Not to take anything away from Boles, but any player in the country, as well as most coaches, parents and cheerleaders, could have gained big yardage on that play. Michigan senior guard Mike Husar obliterated the closest Wisconsin defender, allowing Boles to accelerate untouched into daylight. One juke by Boles and he was gone. "It seemed like they executed everything they wanted," said Wisconsin nose guard John Banaszak. "They did it right. They did it well." Two series later, boom, another gaping hole, Husar making the key block on Badger linebacker Malvin Hunter, and Chris Horn had a 21- yard scoring run. Michigan had a two-touchdown lead. Husar, switched from guard to tackle against Wake Forest to get 6- 7, 277-pound monster Tom Dohring into the lineup, seemed to be having little trouble with his new position. "We were shocked by the whole thing," Davey said. "We found out they could line up and just run right at us." THEY DID THE MASH. IT WAS A GRIDIRON SMASH. Nine minutes and 14 points later, Michigan applied the capper, Boles' 81-yard run. This time it was Michigan's other guard, Dave Dingman, a sophomore and Wisconsin native, who made Swiss cheese - or as they say in the dairy state, Wisconsin Swiss cheese - out of the right side of the Badger defensive front. Michigan head coach Bo Schembechler had to be pleased. Schembechler, who has joked about losing games to "little guys" (read: kickers) after 60 minutes of big guys banging it out, saw a game clearly decided in the trenches. "I didn't think we would be able to attack their defense like that," Schembechler said. "They were extremely good against Miami." Wisconsin's Banaszak helped explain the difference. "(The Wolverines) are much bigger (than Miami). There's just no room for error. Against (Miami) you might have gotten away with a bad step but still be able to overpower a guy. (You can't) overpower a guy 50 to 100 pounds more than you." Ah yes, the monsters. THEY DO THE MASH. IT GETS TOUCHDOWNS IN A FLASH. If there is a head monster, it's got to be sophomore tackle Greg Skrepenak. At 6-8, 322, Skrepenak outweighs guys such as Wisconsin's Davey by 80 pounds. "He's a monster," Davey said. "He's not real fast, but for their kind of offense, where they line up and actually run the ball right at you, I guess he's perfect." Center John Vitale, garnering All-American support, doesn't make' those eye-catching blocks, but his bottling up of the middle is what made the big holes possible in the first place. "We're just starting to learn to play together, and we get better every week," Skrepenak said. Yeah, the Michigan backfield isa deep and talented. But where would they be without the monsters? So{ come on fans, get out those Halloween masks early and show the monsters you appreciate their efforts. LET'S DO THE MASH. THE MICHIGAN MONSTER MASH. JOSE JUAREZ/Daly Michigan running back Allen Jefferson gained 43 yards Saturday, helping Michigan to 413 yards rushing overall. M' spikers fall to 0-4 in Big Ten BY DAVID HYMAN Michigan volleyball coach Joyce Davis needed only a few words to describe her feelings after her team lost its match against Indiana Friday night. "We just stopped playing. That pretty much speaks for Friday's match," Davis said. The Wolverines went on to lose again Saturday night to Ohio State, leaving Michigan 0-4 in the Big Ten and 10-7 overall. INDIANA defeated Michigan in three straight games, 15-9,15-4,16- 14. The Wolverines committed many errors in losing the first two games, but took a 12-0 lead in the third game. Indiana came back, though, to win the game and match. After Michigan's lackluster performance Friday, Davis set two goals for Saturday's match against Ohio State. "We need to improve our team play and our team defense," Davis said. "We did not play well as a team, especially defensively, on Friday, and we need to improve if we expect to perform better." Michigan did improve Saturday night, but not enough to beat the Buckeyes. "We played better as a team (Saturday). We made adjustments, but we didn't play too well," Davis said. The Wolverines were plagued by serving errors throughout the weekend. They committed ten against Indiana and eight against Ohio State. Giving up the serve so many times helped to sink the Wolverines, because in volleyball you can only score when your team is serving. OHIO STATE quickly took a 10-1 lead in the first game Saturday, then held off a Wolverine rally to win, 15-11. The Buckeyes served poorly throughout the match, committing 10 service errors, but the Wolverines were unable to hit many winning shots of their own. When the Wolverines got the serve back, they were unable to convert, and Ohio State went on to win the last two games, 15-11, 15-9. "(The Wolverines) seem to be shell-shocked (on defense)," Davis said. "We need to bring the ball up on defense with ball control. That just wasn't there." Good ball control is a result of good team passing, which must involve everyone on the team. "We need to practice the two fundamentals -- serving and passing," Davis said. "It's important for us to play as a team." The loss of captain Marie Ann Davidson has not helped the situation but Davis said, "No one individual can win or lose the game." Olympics close down SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - The 1988 Summer Olympics, kept free of terrorism but tainted by drug scandals, closed Sunday with the pealing of a medieval bell to symbolize the sorrow of parting. The 16-day event, conducted under extraordinary security, wrapped up with the Soviet Union winning the lion's share of the 237 medal events. The United States finished third in medals. At least 1 billion people watched the Olympics via a 115-nation worldwide hookup. The Seoul Games had the greatest number of athletes (9,633) the most countries, the most gold medals and the most venues (34) of any modern Olympics.

C- Tigers take second JESSICA GREENE Daily Michigan's Karen Marshall attempts a kill during Friday night's volleyball match against Indiana. Marshall made 13 kills, but Michigan lost three straight games. MONDAYS 10:00 p.m. - close p N4 a4 d. 338 S. State ti _ I _t DETROIT (AP) - Darrell Evans, in perhaps his final at-bat in a Detroit uniform, made it a game- winner Sunday. Pat Sheridan tripled in the 11th inning and scored the winning run on Evans' single as the Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 4-3, completing a sweep of their three- game series. "I was thinking in the dugout that this might be it for me," Evans said. STOP STUDYIN' "It was nice that it was important. We finished second and that's something. It takes away some of the sting of not winning our division." The Tigers finished the season 88-74, one game behind the first- place Boston Red Sox' in the AmericanwLeague East. The Yankees, who got off to a 32-15 start, ended up 85-76.
