Iowa may wear black but their fans are tops by Jeff Sheran Daily Sports Writer EVANSTON - It was fitting that the Iowa Hawkeyes sported black uniforms in their conference championship campaign last weekend. The perennial Big Ten maulers captured their 17th straight conference title by a staggering 29.25 point margin. In effect, this was not a ten way affair, only two. Iowa vs. the rest of the Big Ten. Like the evil stock character portrayed in cliche sports movies, Iowa elicited the hatred of all who hailed from outside the Hawkeye state. And while the good guys could not surmount Iowa's team point total, they found satisfaction on several occasions in the finals. Northwestern's Jack Griffin (118-pound) initiated the battle by coasting past the Hawkeyes' Steve Martin, 18-8. Though Griffin, the returning Big Ten champ, was favored in the match, his victory sent a wave of joy rushing through half the arena. The other half was silent, which pleased anti-Iowans even more. But the Hawkeyes prevailed in the second final, where Terry Brands (126) reignited the faithful black and yellow who saw their local prodigy rout Michigan State's Brian Smith, 20-7. Iowans sat comfortably in their seats waiting for the Brands connection to deliver, as the vengeful union put forth Minnesota's Dave Zuniga. Tom Brands (134) held the number one national ranking throughout the season, while Zuniga checked in at second. But Zuniga edged Brands, 6-5, and thunderous applause rained down from the multi-colored rafters. Fellow Gopher Chuck Heise (142), who advanced to the finals by narrow margins, sought to maintain Minnesota's streak, but also to silence the Hawkeye crowd. He did, defeating Troy Steiner, 6-4. And fans from nine camps relished in the Hawkeye disappointment. "We sometimes get envious," Heise said. "But it's not that anyone wishes they were on Iowa, they just wish their team with their own guys were as successful." Iowa should be commended for its extraordinary fan support. More Hawkeye fans graced the stands than for any other team, including host Northwestern. But the Iowa team lends itself to being portrayed as the bad guy. Aside from thoroughly dominating the conference and the nation since coach Dan Gable assumed the helm, the Hawkeyes have continued to assert a cockiness about them. Gale took many Big Ten opponents, including Michigan, off his schedule, citing their lack of competitiveness as a reason. Since the Big Ten began naming All-League teams in 1984, Gable has coached 33 All- Big Ten selections. The other nine have combined for 27. Well, Gable may have a valid claim, as evidenced this weekend. But as long as he and his Hawkeyes maintain their elitist image, the Big Ten will remain the Big Two: Iowa and everyone else.

"Fritz went after him," Bahr said. "But he has to learn to prevent his opponent from scoring. He let the guy take him down three times." Larry Gotcher finished as the runner-up at 158 pounds, losing to Indiana's Jim Pearson in the finals. Pearson scored the only takedown of the match in the second period and held on to win. "I figured whoever got the first takedown would win," Bahr said. "Neither of these guys give up many points." At 134-pounds, Wolverine rookie Joey Gilbert advanced to the semi- finals by beating season-long nemesis Steve Hoffman of Wisconsin, but then was pinned by eventual champion Tom Brands of Iowa. Gilbert then dropped his next match to Indiana's Tony Hunter which set up a showdown with Illinois' Derrick Crenshaw for fifth place in what was considered the toughest weight class in the conference. Crenshaw took an early 4-point lead, and it appeared that Gilbert would exit on a three man slide. However, the frosh phenom from Orlando Park, Illinois reversed his fortune to take an 8-7 lead. Gilbert then iced the victory by pinning Crenshaw with 55 seconds left in the match. "It's a long season for a freshman," Bahr said. "This is a very physical tournament and it's tough for a kid just out of high school." Justin Spewock also qualified for nationals by placing fourth at 167 pounds. Spewock defeated Paul Reinbolt of Ohio State and Matt Abab en route to a consolation match with Indiana's Casey Graham. Graham pulled out a hard-fought victory winning by a 5-3 margin. Despite the setback, Spewock remained upbeat. "This was a good tournament for me," the senior co-captain said. "I made the mistake of relaxing in the control position and it cost me in my losses. I'm happy things pulled together though." Bahr thought the Wolverines' youth was a significant factor in the outcome of the tournament. "I was disappointed that some guys didn't (qualify)," Bahr said. "This is the first time here for a lot of guys and it is difficult the first time." Among those who made their rookie appearances were redshirt frosh Jason Cluff (118) and Lanny Green (177). While neither placed in the top six, both put in solid performances. Green faced the undesirable task of taking on the second and third seeds in consecutive matches. In his first match, Green lost to Northwestern's Mike Funk, ranked fourth in the nation, by an 8-1 margin. This loss dropped him to the loser's bracket but an upset by Wisconsin's Keith Davison over the third ranked Mike McHenry of Purdue pitted Green against another top five opponent. Green came out tough against McHenry and held a 4-3 lead entering the final 10 seconds. McHenry then scored a take-down to capture a 5-4 victory. "I felt bad for Lanny because he worked so hard," Bahr said. "But he tried to wrestle defensively at the end. Now he knows you can't do that." Cluff made no mistakes in his upset bid, as he knocked off Ohio State's David Range, the number three seed. Cluff then dropped his next two matches, losing to Indiana's Lance Ellis, 10-7, and Purdue's Gabe Zurkelbach, 4-3. Bahr hopes this year's tournament will be a positive experience for his young wrestlers. "We should be tougher next year because these guys have been here once now. They know what they have to do for next season.' The Michigan Daily - Sports Monday -March 12, 1990- Page 7 S "e Swimmers capture fifth straight itle by Douglas Donaldson Daily Sports Writer Once, they say, is luck. Twice is coincidence. But what about five times? With a wake of destruction behind them, the Michigan men's swim team captured its fifth straight conference title March 1-3 at the Canham Natatorium. That feat ties a school record set over fifty years ago when coach Matt Mann led the 1931-35 squads to consecutive conference championships. "There's definitely a tradition here," explains co-captain Brent Lang. "It's the whole mindset of what the University of Michigan swim team stands for. We're not the loud and obnoxious type. We're hard-working, nose-to- the-grindstone type of guys who know what it takes to do well, and know how hard work pays off. "It's the whole Michigan environment. As captains, Rick (Wilkening) and I try to lead the team in the direction we think it should go." Michigan coach Jon Urbanchek echoed those sentiments, saying, "The seniors try to create a certain tradition, and when they leave, it carries on." Michigan dominated the meet throughout, finishing with 697 points, well ahead of second-place Minnesota (433). The meet consisted of 16 swimming events and three diving events, spread out over the three days. The Wolverines took control of the meet at the sound of the first gun, and never looked back. Michigan's display of aquatic excellence included placing fifth or higher in each of the 19 events, en route to nine first-place finishes. Lang was crowned Big Ten Champion in two events, the 50- and 100- yard freestyles (:19.94 and :43.58). Mike Barrowman won the 200 breaststroke (1:58.00), but surrendered the 100 title to teammate Eric Wunderlich (:54.94). Other first-place finishers included Rick Wilkening (100 backstroke, :50.12), Steve Bigelow (200 backstroke, 1:48.72) and Bill Hayes (10-meter diving, 690.15). The conclusion of the meet saw the presentation of several awards. Urbanchek won Big Ten Swimming Coach-of-the-Year honors. Although appreciative, he expressed a bit of modesty in discussing the award. "Personally, I thought that maybe the Minnesota coach should have won it," he said. "We were expected to win the championship, but they did better than expected. We have such good talent that it doesn't take exceptional coaching (to do well). "This is the first time I've gotten the award, even though we've won (the Big Ten title) the last four years. In fact, I probably deserve it least this year. But I do feel good about it, coming from my peers, even if it is five years overdue." Michigan diving coach Dick Kimball was recognized as Big Ten Diving- Coach-of-the-Year. Artur Wojdat (Iowa) was named Swimmer-of-the-Meet for his three first-place finishes, while Diver-of-the-Meet honors went to Mark Lenzi (Indiana). With the Big Ten championship safely tucked away, the swimmers can finally focus their attention on what has certainly been in the back of their minds all season: the NCAA Championship. The team has two weeks to prepare for the NCAA meet, to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, March 22- 24. Ji Where in the world can you study Art History at the Louvre? Economics at the OECD?
