" New tennis format costs Wolverines BY ERIC LEMONT Playing under a new format and without their number three singles fplayer, the men's tennis team won one match and lost two last weekend at the Blue-Gray championships in Montgomery, Alabama. The Wolverines defeated Mississippi State 6-1 but lost to both Kentucky and Pepperdine 6-1. In an interesting new format, five singles matches were played for one point each and a doubles match worth two points. Coach Brian Eisner had mixed feelings about the new system. "I like the idea of being able to put everybody out on the court at once and finish the match in two and a half hours. It's a step in the right direction. But the weighting of the doubles at two points is simply untenable," he said. Because of the importance of winning the two points, Eisner was forced to play the nation's number one singles player, Malivai Washington, in the doubles match with John Karzen. In addition, the Wolverines were without the services of David Kass, who felt looseness in his bad shoulder while serving at West Virginia two weeks ago. With Kass, the team's number three singles player, out of the lineup and Washington at doubles, the Wolverines didn't have enough ammunition to compete with fourth ranked Kentucky and 14th ranked Pepperdine. "Our 1,2,3 punch (Washington, Dan Goldberg, and Kass) has pdemonstrated that they're among the very, very best in the nation. But against the top caliber teams that we play, we've had difficulties in the lower part of the lineup. "I've dedicated myself to working100% with the players in that part of the lineup and I've seen some dramatic progress." Hopefully, this improvement will benefit the Wolverines when they open the Big Ten season this weekend against Indiana and Ohio State. ROBIN LOZNAK/Doily Michigan lefthander Tracy Piehl delivers to one of the few batters he faced in the Wolverines' 3-0 victory against Wayne State in yesterday's nightcap. Piehl only went 1 1/3 innings, allowing two of the four hits Wayne State accumulated, making his first start of the season.

The Michigan baseball team can relate to that sentiment. Even though they swept Wayne State in a doubleheader yesterday without al- lowing a run, head coach Bud Middaugh had them stay after for an intrasquad scrimmage. "I'm like any coach," Middaugh said. "I'm never satisfied. You just try to keep improving the areas of the game where you feel you're a little bit short." The Wolverines may have been a little bit short in some areas yester- day, but they had enough to defeat the Tartars, 3-0 and 4-0. The games exhibited solid pitching and slightly below potential hitting, which was Michigan's main concern. "The pitching was good, defens- ively we made the plays," Middaugh said. "Hopefully we'll have more offense this weekend," he added, referring to the two doubleheaders the Wolverines will play against defending Big Ten champion Minnesota in Minneapolis. M I D D A U G H also held the scrimmage because he wanted all of his pitchers to get a chance to throw before the weekend. Normally, there would be another game during the week, but this week Michigan does not have any games before Saturday. In the opening game, senior Dave Peralta (2-1) started and got the win for the Wolverines, going three innings and striking out four. Sophomore Kirt Ojala went 3 1/3 innings, giving up only one hit, and junior Ross Powell pitched the last 2/3 of an inning. For Wayne State, Steve Savage, who pitched a complete game shut- out against Michigan last year, started and went four innings for the loss. Savage (0-3) gave up all three Michigan runs, although only one was earned. Offensively, each team managed only three singles, but the Wolver- ines made theirs count. Michigan scored all three runs in the second inning, with Tim Flannely and Dave Everly getting the RBIs. In the nightcap, first-year pitcher Tracy Piehl started for Michigan, going only 1 1/3 innings and giving up two of Wayne State's four singles. First-year right-hander Eric Persinger (1-0) came in and went 4 2/3 innings for the win, striking out four while giving up only one hit. Bullpen ace John Locker mopped up, going the final inning. Henry Miller (1-2) started for the Tartars, going 3 1/3 innings and giving up five hits and three runs. The Wolverines had six hitters with one hit apiece, including Ev erly, who had the afternoon's only extra base hit, a fourth inning doub- le. Michigan scored two of its runs that inning, highlighted by Phil Price's pinch-hit, RBI single in his only appearance of the day. Overall, though, the offensive production was not as good as it could have been against GLIAC opponent Wayne State. "We've just got to get everybody to work together," Powell said. "I think you'll see we've got a better team than we've shown." Brown looks to move again SAN ANTONIO - (AP) San Antonio Spurs coach Larry Brown had expressed interest in the head coaching position at Michigan, the San Antonio Express-News reported Tuesday. The newspaper, citing an unnamed coaching source close to Michigan athletic director Bo Schembechler, said Brown expressed the interest in the job when the Spurs were in Detroit last month. According to the paper, the source said Brown asked that he be recommended to Schembechler for the job. Michigan assistant coach Steve Fisher took over as the Wolverines head coach on March 15 after Bill Frieder was hired by Arizona State. Schembechler has yet to offer Fisher a contract for next season. Brown, who has had disagree- ments with Spurs owner B.J. "Red" McCombs several times this season, denied that he is interested in the Michigan post. "I haven't shown interest in anybody or anything since I came to San Antonio." Brown said Monday. "I haven't talked to one college or pro coach this season, except for (North Carolina coach) Dean Smith, and I talk to him all the time. That is probably the most ridiculous thing I have heard."' McCombs said he does not believe Brown would seek the Mich- igan postion. "I wouldn't believe that that happened. I don't think so. I don't think that's true." McCombs said. Last month, Brown was quoted as saying that he would not be surprised if McCombs fired him after this season. Brown coached the Jayhawks to the NCAA Kansas champ- ionship last year, then signed a five- year, $3.5 million deal with the Spurs.
