An old- timers game between the Detroit Red Wings Old-timers team and the University of Michigan Alumni hockey team took place. What is it about old-timers games? Many complain that old-timers games do not serve a purpose. The statistics mean nothing. They want memories of their heroes untarnished, where a slapshot was a SLAPSHOT, and a strikeout was a STRIKEOUT. They don't want to see what age has done to a once powerful body, dissolving it of its potency on the ice or on the diamond. Last Sunday, almost 3,000 came out though, to see what time had done to their old heroes. Half of both teams looked like Harold Snepsts,tamcurrent NHL player and former Red Wing whose balding headand tough play won him respect from the fans. The crowd thoroughly loved the game. They cheered. The loudest cheers were reserved for current Michigan coach Red Berenson, who used to electrify the old Coliseum in his All-American years of 1961-62 and in later years with the Red Wings, as well as other NHL teams. To put it simply, people love old-timers games. They love that special link with the past. Who cares if the players are slower, grayer, and lack the skill to go to the net that once made them great? , It goes much farther than the fans at Yost. There are old-timers games at each major league baseball park during the summer. Now, there is the ultimate in old-timers games - an old-timers baseball league. The playing quality that was once there, is there no longer. But the person is. This person who was once admired for many years in the hometown uniform. At a college age, it's a little tough to identify with old-timers games. A name like Alex Delvecchio doesn't mean much to a 20-year old. But I do remember watching the World Series of 1978. I remember watching New York Yankee third baseman Graig Nettles making dive after dive, stifling Dodger rally after Dodger rally. I would try to do the same in my own backyard off my pitchback. I envied his job. On Opening Day of the Old- timers league, Nettles made a dive - just like the old days, and the memories started flowing. Seeing Al Kaline swing, Mark Fidrych throw, Mickey Mantle or Charlie Gehringer jog to the first or third base line in player introductions - puts the statistics and stories from a bygone era back into the forefront of one's mind. Like drinking lemonade with grandpa on the front porch, old- timers games are a special link to the past. Yet for Tim Keough, it was passed a little different way. In net for the Michigan Wolverines' alumni stood Jim Keough, an All-American in 1969. Today, like his father did before him, reserve goalie Tim handles the nets for the current Michigan hockey.

The game marked the end of Michigan's regular season, posting a 9-7-4 record. The Wolverines have had a problem with consistency for most of the year, but peaked at the right time, winning their last four games. Michigan controlled the game, scoring twice in the first 30 minutes. Team captain Eric Moore scored the first goal while junior forward Todd Neff put in the second. Team secretary Dave DiGiuseppe praised the forwards. "The forwards played better than I've ever seen them play before. They were playing like clockwork." Valparaiso scored with about 5 minutes left in the first half to bring the score to 2-1. However, Michigan sophomore defender Jon Sundermann kept the Wolverines in control when he blasted a second-half shot from thirty yards out to increase Michigan's lead to 3-1. Valparaiso scored soon after Sundermann's goal to close the Wolverine lead to 3-2, but never threatened to tie the score. After defeating both Purdue and Iowa in a previous weekend, Michigan was invited to the National Collegiate Club Sports Association Tournament in Kansas City. The competition determines the best club soccer team in the nation with eight schools from around the country participating. The top two club teams in the Big Ten will play in the NCCSA tournament. Minnesota and Illinois, tied for second, will have a playoff to determine which team will be represented in the tournament. Last year, Illinois won the national tournament. The Michigan club feels they can bring home ano- ther national championship in club soccer to the Big Ten. "We are very optimistic that we can repeat the feat (championship win) this year," said assistant coach Mike Malley. The team will leave for Kansas City on Thursday. The self- supported soccer team had to raise the money for the trip themselves, but Malley said that club sports and other donors, which include former players and players families, have been very helpful. "We promise to get all the team home Monday for classes," said Malley, "even if we win." Sunday passed the puck to a new generation of hockey fans - allow- ing them to experience the greatness of old timers past. 0 Women's soccer stuns varsity foes by Dan Zoch Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's soccer team finished its season on a high note this weekend, placing second at the Big Ten tournament held at Indiana University. Posting a two-day record of 2-1-1 against varsity teams to end the season with a 16-8-1 record, the women's squad tried to prove themselves worthy of the varsity status they've been seeking all year. In what goalkeeper Crissy Rice called a "freezing Saturday morning with "incredible winds," the Wolverines and Hoosiers ended in a scoreless tie. Later in the day, Michigan scored their only two goals of the weekend which proved ample enough to beat both Illinois and Purdue, 1-0, and send them into the final match against Minnesota. Sophomore forward Lori Green scored the goal against Illinois and first-year player Leslie Martin provided the difference against Purdue. "We really knew how to pull together," Martin said. "The key to our success has been a combination of discipline and heart." It was the cold weather and poor field conditions, more than Minnesota, which beat Michigan on Sunday. "That small bumpy field and the cold weather took away from our passing game and our ball control," said senior team captain Amy Stock. However, sophomore Sandy Najarian had a different opinion. "The championship game should have been ours. We had the intensity, but as a team we just couldn't put the ball in the net." The Wolverines, however, seemed satisfied with their finish in the weekend's tournament despite not being a varsity team. Most of the season, the team has had to operate without a coach, adequate practice facilities, or even a set of away uniforms. Their struggle to gain varsity status has been without success so far. "We expect something. At 16-8- 1, we have one of the best records for Michigan women's teams," said Crista Towne. "The thing is, (athletic director) Bo Schembechler says it's (the funding) all or nothing. So, since the school won't give us anything, we have to generate4 help from outside and hope we get something from the university. We're even trying to get some backing from the MSA," she continued. This weekend's strong showing at Indiana keeps the team optimistic about getting official team status soon. "If we keep improving like we have this season," Towne adds, "it might make them notice us. But really, it just doesn't seem to help." 10 Kimo Ford Embry-Riddle University The Fords have always driven Volkswagens. Ask Kimo Ford why he bought a Volkswagen and get ready for some family history. "Everyone in my family has driven a Volkswagen at one time or another. My dad had a Microbus in the Sixties. My mom and sister both drove Beetles. And my brother, who's also a student, drives an '83 Volkswagen Rabbit. "So when I saved enough money to buy a car there was only one logical choice. A Volkswagen. My car's a '79 Rabbit. With 145,000 miles on it. Ten years old and all those miles and it's still running great. "If you ask me, it's the perfect student's car. Good on gas. Fun to drive. And big enough to carry four friends." Even so, Kimo is already think- ing about his next car. Another Volkswagen? "Absolutely. A GTI. White. Gotta have white." A m
