Page 6 - The Michigan Daily - Sports Monday - September 18, 1989 Shock the world!! Griddes is back"'~t It's back. What more needs to be said. After a year of painful hiatus, Griddes picks have returned to the Daily. Rumors had been circulating for weeks that Griddes may return. In fact, a little over a week ago, former President Ronald Reagan, ,exclaimed, "Well, when I heard the Michigan Daily was starting Griddes again, I went to get fluid drained from my brain so that I could make acute and accurate choices." Here's how it works. Select the 20 teams you think will win next weekend. Also, fill in what you think the score will be when Michigan takes on UCLA. (We need that in case there's a tie.) Whoever correctly picks the most games will win breakfast for two at O'Sullivan's Eatery and Pub. O'Sullivan's also wants it known that despite the fact that they are Irish, they were rooting for Michigan. Drop off your picks at the Daily no later than 5 p.m. Friday to be eligible. The Daily is located at 420 Maynard on the second floor. 1. MICHIGAN at UCLA 2. Utah State at Illinois 3. Iowa at Iowa State 4. Michigan State at Notre Dame 5. Nebraska at Minnesota 6.

Mc Peck and Welke were the only runners for Michigan with any sig- nificant experience with cross- country at the varsity level. Michigan placed first in the field with 36 points. Kansas and Eastern Michigan, the only other formidable competitors, followed with 43 and 45 points respectively. Cross country scores equal the sum of the overall finishes for each team's top five runners. Head coach Sue Foster was pleased with her team's performance in its first meet, especially considering that Michigan was without three of its top runners. "It was a good effort for us," said Foster. "Karen and Jenifer both ran very gutsy races." Filling in for the injured runners were Amy Bannister and Chris Tyler, both of whom compete as half-milers during the track season. "They're both half-milers, but they're also both very strong runners. We couldn't have done anything without them this weekend," said Foster. "I think they're going to be very valuable. I anticipate both of them being among our top seven runners after the others return." Foster said that the status on two of her three injured runners is day-to- day, while condition of the third runner, Kim Haluscsak, is more serious. Mindy Rowan, an all-Big Ten runner last year, is returning from a strained muscle and Foster expects her to run at next week's Western Ontario Invitational. First-year runner Molly McCli- mon is recovering from a knee injury and also should compete next weekend. Haluscsak, meanwhile, is plagued by an ailing leg and it is not known when she will be back. Michigan's first important test is not until September 29 when the Wolverines will compete in the Eastern Michigan Invitational. The EMU meet will act as a barometer for the team's prospects this year because several Big Ten teams will also participate. Overall finishes for Michigan runners 3. Karen Welke, 18:47 4.

Then on Saturday I was really tired. I don't normally sound like this." Despite the strain, Lorenzen played well against the Mountaineers, hitting .500 and contributing seven kills. Fellow newcomer Tarnisha Thompson Red Wings best Minnesota, 4-1 DETROIT (AP) - Bernie Federko and Steve Yzerman scored 3:06 apart in the second period last night as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Minnesota North Stars 4-1 in a preseason game. Federko gave the Red Wings a 1-0 advantage with a short-handed goal at 12:17 of the secon, taking a pass from Yzerman and beating North Stars goaltender Jarmo Myllys. Yzerman made it 2-0 for Detroit at 15:23 with Gerard Gallant and Brent Fedyk assisting. The two goals were the only Detroit shots on Myllys during the Detroit made it 3-0 when Sheldon Kennedy scored at 4:00 of the third. Dave Archibald scored for Minnesota, making it 3-1 at 8:16. Shawn Burr's empty net goal at 19:05 provided the final margin for Detroit, 2-1 in the exibition season. added 12 assists. Other standouts included Karen Marshall, who hit .258, and Kim Clover, who hit .462. Overall, the Wolverines actually edged the Mountaineers in hitting percentage, .236 to .235. But it was too many misplays that kept victory out of Michigan's tired reach. "We're still plagued by reception errors," said Davis. "We had 20 versus West Virginia - that's five points a game we gave up. Errors also a played a role in Michigan's loss to Bowling Green the night before. Although the Wolverines committed 15 errors to the Falcons seven, there were strong individual performances. Clover and junior Julia Sturm hit a solid .346 and .306 respectively, while Kristen Lang amassed 16 kills. Autumn Collins contributed 26 digs. The Wolverines carry their 5-2 non-conference record into Big Ten play on Wednesday, where they hope to improve on last year's 1-17 league record. Said Davis: "This team is going to improve over the next six weeks. I don't think this one loss will impede our progress." A A Ii FREEHAN Continued from Page 1 Ex-Tiger Bill Freehan is ready to go to bat for the Michigan baseball team as their new coach. The team began practicing last week. BARBERS & STYLISTS AL*1%' o~aW .,o building stronger baseball ties with other Michigan schools such as Eastern and Central Michigan and has mentioned to his players the possibility of using his baseball connections to bring in the outside assistance of players like former Tiger great Al Kaline. But just as important in building a strong base- ball team, Freehan believes, is mak- ing the game fun for the players. While practices are only a week old, some Wolverines have already taken notice of this attitude. Said Wolverine pitcher Terryi Woods: "The reputation of our team1 last year was a lot of hard work. Coach Freehan wants us not to get burnt out. That's the way he said it. PERSONALIZED c AND DISTINCTIVE Serving You: - JERRY .

JI "I'd like to have an impact physi- cally and mentally on some of these young men in their baseball lives and in their academic and per sonal lives," he said. As Woods put it, "He's as excited to be here as we are. We don't know him and he doesn't know us. And he wants to get to know us as well as we know each other."
