Women's Swimming UM Alumni Meet Friday Canham Natatorium The Michigan Daily SPORTS Men's Swimming Maize and Blue Intra Squad Friday Canham Natatorium Page 16 Monday, October 31, 1988 M' keeps Cats in bag By ADAM SCHEFTER SPECIAL TO THE DAILY EVANSTON - OK. Let's see. Michigan moved the ball on the ground all afternoon. Well, what did you expect? Northwestern's rushing defense ranks 103rd among 104 Division I teams. "Michigan did not give up the big play all day, either. What did you expect? Michigan geared its game plan on not letting Wildcats tailback Byron Sanders get outside. Michigan moved one game closer to clinching a spot in the Rose Bowl with a 52-7, tee-hee-hee, laugher of a win against Northwestern on Saturday. What did you expect? Northwestern was still ecstatic about last weekend's win over Wisconsin. AND SCHEMBECHLER was not happy with his squad's win, as you might have expected. "We didn't play well," Schembechler complained. "At illegal man downfield cost us an 85- yard touchdown play. We failed to field a punt. Those are the kind of things that will kill you when you are battling tooth and nail for a title." Northwestern coach Francis Peay should have such problems. What S'ehembechler was referring to was actually an 84-yard would-be touchdown pass to Greg McMurtry. The play would have been the longest pass in the history of Wolverine football. The field position on that series was set up when John Kolesar allowed a punt to sail over his head. Northwestern downed the ball on the 16-yard line. BUT WHAT did Schembechler really have to complain about? There was no upset - that is if you don't include Peay's stomach. Schembechler had tailback Tony Boles, who scored three touchdowns and gained 153 yards, making him the 10th Wolverine to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season. The. Wildcats' defense, which starts four players who were playing high school football at this time last year, failed to keep the Michigan running game in check. Schembechler also had Kolesar, who lived up to his big-play billing, returning a punt 60 yards to the one- yard line. Schembechler rewarded Kolesar on Michigan's next offensive series when quarterback Michael Taylor rolled left and reversed the ball to Kolesar, who ran into the end zone untouched from 15 yards out. "I was thinking on the way in, well, at least I scored on this one," Kolesar said. "As long as we score, it doesn't matter. If I bring the ball down to the one-inch line and Tony (Boles) brings it over, that's fine." Schembechler also had his defense at work again after issuing a warning to them before the game. He told the defense that Sanders would be the first back to gain over 100 yards against them this season, that Northwestern would pile up more than 150 yards rushing, and that the Wildcats would score 14 points. THEN AGAIN, Schembechler also said that Northwestern was a pretty good football team. Sanders did get 106 yards, most of them harmless, but Northwestern managed only 107 total yards on the ground. The Wildcats scored one touchdown, a 10-yard pass from quarterback Greg Bradshaw (no relation nor resemblance to Terry) to wide receiver Richard Buchanan. "We just wanted to romance their defense a little bit," Sanders said. The Michigan defense definitely was attracted. They proceeded to spend the rest of the afternoon in the company of Northwestern's backfield. Mark Messner found it most comfortable, recording 13 tackles, three for losses. "I would just call him a great football player," said Peay, not the first coach to mumble those words. "I saw him in some of the most unpredictable places." Unpredictable was what Schem- bechler hoped to be with his offense this past weekend. Schembechler promised to unleash a more balanced attack against the Wildcats. Yet, when push came to shove, he was much happier pushing and shoving Northwestern's defense. Or lack of it. Taylor attempted only 10 passes and Demetrius Brown, who replaced Taylor in the fourth quarter with Michigan leading, 38-7, tried six more, completing five. Brown's performance, in fact, wasA one of the few things that brought ar smile to Schembechler's face after the game. "You know what I thought?" Schembechler asked. "I thought Demetrius Brown did a pretty good job. That's what I thought. He led the team to a couple of touchdowns." Blue Banter -Last weekend's star, fullback Leroy Hoard, did not accompany the team to Northwestern. Hoard was suspended for at least one game for missing two classes. -When Schembechler entered the locker room for the post-game conference, all of the reporters were already waiting for him. "How did you guys get here so fast?" Schembechler asked. The answer: "Coach, we've been waiting here since the second quarter. 4 DAVID LUBLINER/DaI4 , Michigan running back Allen Jefferson scores from one yard out, capping the scoring in Michigan's 52-7 victory over Northwestern on Saturday. Jefferson gained 40 yards. Field hockey drops a pair BY ANDREW GOTTESMAN Michigan field hockey's home season ended yesterday with a scoreless, double-overtime tie with Ohio State, capping a weekend that also included a 2-0 loss to sixth- ranked Iowa on Friday. The Wolverines entered the home stand with high hopes of an upset over Iowa, which has been nationally ranked all season. Michigan improved upon its performance from last weekend's 8- 0 drubbing in Iowa City, but was unable get the upset. Midway through the first half, Michigan seemed to be keeping up with the Hawkeyes, outshooting them, 6-2. Iowa junior forward and Big Ten scoring leader Erica Richards could not be kept down, though. She had one goal in each half to account for all the scoring. "We had those opporunities," Michigan head coach Karen Collins said. "(Iowa) will take whatever you give them, and they were just a little more accurate with their shots." The largest home crowd of the season then looked on Sunday as the Wolverines (6-8-3 overall, 1-4-1 in the Big Ten) suffered their second straight shutout. Michigan failed to score despite outshooting the Buckeyes, 37-22. Michigan wasted; 14 penalty-corner opportunities. "You can't have 37 shots and not score," Collins said. One bright spot for the Wolverines was the continued superb play of senior goalkeeper Gillian Pieper. The Ann Arbor native had 20 saves on Friday against Iowa and followed up the performance Sunday with 19 saves. "This was definitely her best weekend of the season, probably of her career," Collins said.
