4 Page 12 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 21, 1988 'M' TO FACE F( Spikers: BY DAVID HYMAN The biggest challenge for the women's volleyball team this season is upon them. With an 0-7 conference record (10-11 overall), the Wolverines need a victory this weekend when they take on Big Ten rivals Illinois and Purdue. Despitetheir record, the Wolverines remain confident. "I expect us to get our first conference win this weekend," said coach Joyce Davis. The Illini (7-0 Big Ten, 12-3 overall), the defending Big Ten champions, come into Friday's game ranked fifth in the nation. "We have our work cut out for us," said Davis "If our blocking continues and we serve the ball hard, we can at least let them know we're on the other side of the net., Illinois is led by 1987 Co-Players-of-the-Year Mary Eggers and Nancy Brookhart. Eggers, a middle blocker and two-time All-American, led the Big Ten in hitting efficiency (.487) last season and is Illinois' all-time blocking leader. She was also last week's Big Ten Player-of-the-Week. Brookhart, also a middle blocker, returns after )RMIDABLE FOES need win THE SPORTING VIEWS 'Boss' and Trump: N.Y.'s nightmare being selected to the All-Big Ten team in 1987, while averaging 4.39 kills per game (second in the Big Ten). The Boilermakers (2-5, 8-11) on the other hand, are struggling this season after finishing second in the conference in 1987. Their only Big Ten wins have come against Ohio St. and Indiana. Purdue is led by Debbie McDonald, a member of the 1987 All-Big Ten team. McDonald leads the Boilermaker attack with a .242 hitting efficiency and 4.42 kills per game. Becky Kanitz, a defensive specialist, leads the conference in digs per game (5.57), and Darcy Orin is responsible for setting the ball. "The situation we're in is irrelevant to this weekend's matches," said Davis. "The team has practiced well this week and I feel real good going into this weekend." The Wolverines are looking to get into that confident-builder 'W' column and as Davis said: "We're very close to turning this whole thing around." BY LIAM FLAHERTY If I had my choice to obliterate one person who has polluted the. sports pages recently, I would have a hard time choosing between George Steinbrenner and Donald Trump. Steinbrenner is the older nemesis. For too many years I've seen him bully his way onto the sports pages like an unruly drunk. But Trump seems intent on making up for lost time. Living in New York, I've barely endured his smugness, his colossal ego, his unabashed love of the dollar and all it's trappings. A love so naked and vulgar that if expressed in a book or film, shouts of obscenity would immediately follow. In the real estate section, however, it is good business sense. BUT I could stand that. Let him build his towers and casinos, all deified with his name. Let the pundits speak of a Trump mayoral, senatorial, even presidential campaign. I could withstand his best selling book and he and his wife crashing the society pages, as long as he would remain off the sports pages. Some things in life,, after all, must remain sacrosanct. The first ominous shudder came when Trump purchased the New Jersey Generals, of the now extinct United States Football League. Donald had a new toy. He immediately made the rounds to trumpet calls as the saviour of this infant league. He would build the Generals as he built his empire, promptly acquiring two attractive assets in runningback Herschel Walker and quarterback Doug Flutie. The U.S.F.L., as everyone knows, has passed on into that good night. Donald Trump however, like indigestion, recurring cancer, and Freddy Krueger, is back. HE IS currently a "friend and advisor"to heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Tyson, who does business with Don King and married Robin Givens, is clearly in need of some better company. Trump makes him 0 for 3. Why does a man of Trump's means and position feel the need to raid the arena of sports for self glorification? The same reason his compatriot Steinbrenner does. They're children. Desperate for attention, insecure despite their millions, they attempt to make themselves into what their money cannot buy. Take Steinbrenner. He owns the Yankees and he's the "Boss" as the tabloids proclaim him. But he's not a player, which is where he'd trade his fortune to be. The players are the game - what people think of as the Yankees. And Steinbrenner will not rest until that association equals him. His envy is perverted into anger and tough talk. Look at the players he traditionally attacks; Reggie Jackson, Dave Winfield, Don Mattingly - the stars who are the polar opposite of Steinbrenner. So Steinbrenner will go to any length to upstage the team, no matter how petty. His latest, firing manager Lou Piniella in the midst of the playoffs, is only one more in a long, long litany. THERE ARE those who will say, in response to this diatribe, "they pay the money, they can do what they want." This is precisely the attitude which created these media monsters in the first place. I don't expect Steinbrenner to sell the Yankees anytime soon, nor do I anticipate Trump exiting the sports scene, regardless of how things work out with Tyson. But I have my fantasy; Trump and Steinbrenner having a top secret, high powered meeting in an empty Trump Tower. The foundation begins to tremble, the walls start to shake... 4 4 The w d~r is bait 11 all other DJ's gots a chill!!
