Volleyball vs. Western Michigan Tonight, 7:30 p.m. Varsity Arena SPORTS Football at Michigan State Saturday, 3:30 p.m. Spartan Stadium - 11 *The Michigan Daily Tuesday, October 10,1989 Page 7 - I Stickers lack that Hollywood touch by Matt Rennie Daily Sports Writer EVANSTON- It was like Hoosiers without the happy ending. It was like David versus Goliath minus one slingshot. It was a Michigan field hockey squad struggling for recognition against the fourth-ranked team in the country, the Northwestern Wildcats. Hollywood couldn't have written a better script. The underdog Wol- verines challenging the juggernaut Wildcats on a cool, crisp, fall day in Evanston. The script would have the Wolverines scoring a goal late in the game to pull off a huge upset. Of course, Evanston is a long way from Hollywood. As it was, Michigan proved to be no threat to the Wildcats in the war for supremacy in the Midwest Collegiate Field Hockey Conference. The final score, 2-0, gives little indication as to how completely Northwestern dominated the contest. I took my usual seat before the game at the fifty-yard line, so as to be in the middle of the action. I would have been better off sitting at the twenty closest to Michigan's goal. The ball constantly seemed to be near the Wolverine cage. In fact, it is a tribute to goalkeeper Joanne Green that the final score was as close as it was. If the atletic department were to make a five-minute highlight film of this game, Gren would be in four-and-a-half minutes of it. Her 18 saves, including one on a penalty shot, "wwd face for the Maize and Blue, and even had them tied at halftime. Unfortunately, the offense could do absolutely nothing. The Wol- verines managed only two shots on goal the entire game. Northwestern goalie Kim Metcalf probably had to take No-Doz to stay awake through this one. Don't get me wrong. Michigan is an improving team. Patricia Maran helped to keep things close by playing excellent defense from her sweeper position. Rookie Katie Vignevic's stock continues to rise as she got off one of the team's two shots. Progress is being made. They are miles ahead of where they were last year, already doubling their 1988 total for-conference wins, but they still have a ways to go before they can hope to challenge the conference powers, Iowa and Northwestern. After the game, head coach Patti Smith said "there will definitely be some changes" offensively. These changes can only be for the better. So, take heart, Hollywood fans. David and Goliath have a rematch in November. Zbe lmirbigau ?43aiIlu Is an affirmative action employer. Saint Louis University's Academic Year in Madrid COMPLETE CURRICULUM: English, Spanish.

'M' Spikers look to tame Broncos by Ryan Schreiber Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's volley- ball team faces Western Michigan tomorrow as it steps out of its tough Big 10 conference schedule. Western Michigan (9-5 overall, 4-0 in the MAC) defeated Michigan State last weekend, a team that Michigan had trouble with earlier in the season. "Although they beat Michigan State last week," Michigan head coach Joyce Davis said, "it is not in- dicative of their team strength. MSU played without a setter, making their offense the equivalent of an eighth- grade team, and the match went five games anyway." MICHIGAN, mired in a five- game losing streak, needs to stress the fundamentals of the game, essen- tially serving and passing, according to Davis. "I think that if our team doesn't have lapses in passing, this is a match we can win," Davis said. "We have to serve well and pass well in order to succeed. We have also had mental and service lapses in the third game of most of our matches. "Against Iowa, Minnesota and this past weekend versus Indiana and Ohio State, we just did not pass in the third game. We have to be a little more consistent with our offense," Davis said. Michigan (5-7 overall, 0-5 in the Big 10) expects to key on some of Western Michigan's returning play- ers. Said Davis: "Mei Zhang is prod- uctive from both the middle and outside positions. We've been pretty strong with our middle, so I think we can counter her. Joanne Bingham and Jan Catrell are also good, but they aren't as mobile. Other than keeping the ball away from Mei, we should key on hitting and serving at Bingham and Catrell and making them work." Fine frontcourt performances from Karen Marshall, Julia Sturm, and Carla Hunter, back from last season's knee injury, have kept Michigan close in previous matches. But the backcourt, in defense and service returns, killed the Wolverines last weekend against Ohio State. Davis feels that Michigan will rebound and prey on that same aspect of Western's game. Daily FIle Photo Michigan's frontline must excel in order for the volleyball team to top Western Michigan on Wednesday. The Wolverines have never beaten the Broncos during coach Davis' tenure. "Western Michigan is not quite as big as the Big 10," Davis said, "and their defense is not as tena- cious. Still, we have to perform to win." During Davis' tenure, the Wol- verines have dueled Western Mich- igan to three consecutive five-game matches, coming out on the shor end each time. "I hope that on Tuesday, we have a bit of luck because if you go to a" fifth game, that's sometimes what it comes down to," Davis said. m m m Khalil wins close Griddes Just when it seemed that last week's winner, Dave Balza, was going to claim a second consecutive Griddes prize, newcomer Mohamed Khalil stripped him of the chance. Up until this point five final contestants were deadlocked in clear- ly one of the closest competitions of the decade. Each had picked 18 games correctly. After days of calcu- lations using our complex tiebreak- ing system, our experts reached a unanimous decision. Congratula- tions to Mohamed Khalil!!! Mohamed will be enjoying his dinner for two at O'Sullivan's Eatery and Pub on South University and can claim his prize at 420 Maynard in the Student Publications Build- ing.

As one of the world's most innovative and technologically advanced leaders in high energy physics research, "Fermilab" makes headlines through the diverse contributions of talented professionals. The Laboratory's seeking in- novative individuals, like you, to join the challenge. Electrical and Computer Engineers In designing equipment for the Accelerator and Experimental area systems, you'll be involved with everything from high and low level processing systems to high power pulsed devices and power sup- plies. Other projects will involve analog and digital design (specifically ASIC and/or VLSI), data acquisition and high performance system development. Knowledge of CAD/CAE systems is a definite plus. Mechanical Engineers The potential exists for involvement in the mechanical design and fabrication of devices for the accelerator complex as well as the overall design and operation of superconducting and cryogenic devices. The opportunity to conduct finite element stress and thermal analysis of vessels and support structures is also available.
