As if Wisconsin football coach
Don Morton wasn't enough of a
martyr already.
Adding to his already dismal 1-4
record, Morton is now faced with
possible NCAA sanctions due to
salaries that he paid his assistant
coaches during this past summer.
Because of Wisconsin's budget cuts,
Morton's assistant coaches were not
given two of the six weeks' salaries
they had previously been guaranteed.
The losingest coach in the Big
Ten for the past three years took out
a personal loan of $14,100, a
personal loan, from his own bank
account, to be able to pay his nine
assistant coaches the two weeks they
didn't get paid.
Poor Don Morton. Literally,
poor Don Morton.
NCAA rules state that money
cannot be paid to a coach from an
outside source, and according to Rick
Evrard of NCAA legislative services,
a head coach is an outside source
"when he's using his own funds or
using his own salary."
In the world of college athletics
where athletes such as former Okla-
homa State wide receiver Hart Lee
Dykes can get four schools in

trouble for recruiting violations, it's
ludicrous that a coach could get
penalized for paying his assistant
coaches out of his own pocket.
This situation is not one where

Due to spatial restrictions, one is
unable to list all of the ridiculous
NCAA penalties purported over the
past few years. For example, further
mention of former Indiana basketball
player Steve Alford's suspension for
a game because of an appearance on
a sorority charity calendar, or former
Florida State football/baseball star
Deion Sanders ability to earn
$20,000 playing minor-league base-
ball for the New York Yankees two
summers ago is impossible.
"He saved our butts," said Badger
defensive coordinator Mike Daly
who lost two weeks of his contract
due to budget cuts made last winter.
"All of a sudden in August, we
didn't get a paycheck."
Poor Don Morton. Literally,
poor Don Morton.
It's actually irrelevant, but it just
doesn't seem right that Morton,
whose team has an offense that
couldn't score on the Ann Arbor
Bantam B team, is being attacked for
paying his assistants with his own
money. The guy is out $14,000 and
now he has possible sanctions facing
him.
Poor Don Morton. Literally,
poor Don Morton.

Morton

by Matt Rennie
Daily Sports Writer
The opposing attacker drives uncontested toward the
Michigan goal. She is about to score when, at the last
possible moment, the ball is kicked away by the
Wolverine goalkeeper.
The ball is dead, but the action continues as the
goalie celebrates her save by waving her arms and
pounding her stick into her pads.
"What is she doing?" a fan asks, as he watches in
bewilderment.
"Oh, that's just Joanne," comes the reply.
Joanne is Joanne Green, the goaltender for the
Michigan field hockey team. Goalies are always the
most visible players on a team simply by the nature of
their position. Green, however, is even more notice-
able because of the visible and vocal enthusiasm she
exhibits during a game.
"I'm just that type of person," said Green. "I can go
from zero to sixty in about thirty seconds. I really get
pumped up before games. Hopefully, if I show a lot of
emotion, then the rest of the team will get fired up,
too"s
GREEN'S STATISTICS are starting to receive
as much attention as her celebratory antics, and
rightfully so. She leads the Midwest Collegiate Field
Hockey Conference in saves and is second in save
percentage, with a mark of .883. She also has recorded
five shutouts, the latest being a 2-0 victory over St.
Louis University this past weekend.
Michigan head coach Patti Smith has said that she
is "the one player on our team who doesn't get enough
credit."
Green, as an Ann Arbor native, went to Pioneer
High School, where she excelled in softball as well as
field hockey. She was the first sophomore in Pioneer
history to start in goal.
"The first thing you notice about Joanne is her
incredible work ethic," said her high school coach
Nancy Cox. "She has both a devotion to the team and
to improving herself individually."

When the time came to select a college, Green
chose the Maize and Blue for academic reasons.
"I grew up watching Michigan hockey, but I came
here for the engineering school."
HER DECISION pleased Karin Collins, the field
hockey coach at the time.
"I think I was recruited because Karin noticed my
athletic ability, more than my hockey skill," Green
said.
A knee injury forced Green, a fifth-year senior, to
miss her sophomore and junior seasons. Having
overcome this injury, she is thrilled with all the work
she is getting this year.
Goaltending carries with it a unique responsibility,
but she is accustomed to it.
"I don't always feel a lot of pressure. The thing is
if you make a mistake, it counts in the record book."
THE 1989 WOLVERINES have experienced
more success than any of the teams of which Green
has been a part. She says that coaching and depth is
the difference in this year's squad.
"We've got a brand new coaching philosophy this
year. Patti's done a great job. But the big thing is our
depth. Everyone has to fight every day in practice to
get playing time."
The Wolverines feel ready to upset the Iowa
Hawkeyes, ranked sixth nationally, when the two
teams meet this Friday at. Tartan Turf. As Green's
career nears its end, games like these become even
more important.
"I've already planned my victory celebration," she
joked. "We need to get some breaks, but if we work
hard, we can pull it off."
"This may be the biggest game of her career," Cox
said. "If there was one thing I could wish for her, it
would be a shutout against Iowa."
When reflecting on her career, Green is grateful for
her experience. Despite this being her last year, she
still looks toward the future of Michigan field hockey.
"I'm just really happy to have played. The success
this year is just a bonus. If this year could be used by
future teams as a starting block, then I'd be really
thrilled."

and simple.
Poor Don Morton. Literally,

Quake delays World Series

San Francisco (AP)-Game three
of the Bay Bridge Series between the
Oakland Athletics and the San Fran-
cisco Giants was postponed for a
second straight day, after city
officials were not able to assess the
damage both physical and mental.
The earthquake which struck the
Bay area at 5:04 p.m. PDT Tuesday
a half-hour before game time, regis-
tered a 6.9 on the Richter scale, the
second strongest earthquake since
1906.
So far more than 250 have been
reported killed and hundreds of others
injured. However, none of the
60,000 spectators who were in San
I

Francisco's Candlestick Park at the
time of the earthquake were injured.
There seemed little thought by
baseball officials to cancel the
Series, which Oakland leads 2-0, and
the possibility remains that the
game could be played Thursday if the
stadium were deemed safe and if
transportation could be worked out.
Fay Vincent, baseball's commis-
sioner said the the damage done to
Candlestick Park and the Oakland
Coliseum was "not significant."
But, he said, "the proper people have
not examined it yet." He also added
that even if the game could be played
in the Bay area he wondered if it
would be appropriate right now.
"Like anyone else, the players'

first concerns were for their families
and their homes. Everything seems
OK," said Donald Fehr, head of the
Major League Baseball Players'
Association.
The other possibility is that th*
Series could be shifted to a neutral
site for the first time ever. The
strongest alternative is Dodger
stadium in Los Angeles. San Diego
and Anaheim are also possible
choices.
