Men's golf bogeys
good start in Akron
by Andrew Brown
Daily Sports Writer
With the recent warm weather, spring has finally reached Ann Arbor.
The Michigan men's golf team hopes this change in weather will mark the
beginning of its road to respectability.
After last weekend's disappointing 17th place finish in Huntington,
West Virginia, the Wolverines took their clubs to Akron, Ohio, this past
weekend for the Firestone Invitational.
After 36 holes on Saturday, Michigan placed 16th in the 36 team field.
Having finished in the top half, the Wolverines qualified for the champion-
ship division on Sunday. However, the team turned in a poor performance
on Sunday finishing last among the remaining 18 teams.
"This is a team that I can't put my finger on," Michigan coach Jim
Carras said. "We are very inconsistent both collectively and individually.
We need a lot more quality rounds if we are going to be successful."
Michigan shot a three-round total of 925. Kent State, with total of 885
for the three rounds, won the tournament.
"Right now I have a mixed bag of emotions," Carras added. "We came
out pretty decent on Saturday, especially on the second 18. But things just
came apart on Sunday."
Individually, the Wolverines were led by fifth-year senior Chris Pond
who totalled 226 (73-76-77). Sophomore Anthony Dietz followed with a
score of 230 (77-75-78).
"Anthony has becn a real consistent and steady force for us this season,"
Carras said.
Captain Tom Paton finished with a total of 232 (79-72-81), and was
followed by Patrick Moore and James Carson with scores of 237 and 250,
respectively.
"Jamesis really struggling right now and he has really lost his
confidence. He doesn't have control of his clubs either," Carras said. "But
he will learn from these poor scores. He is a freshman who I expect big
things from before his career is over."
The team has a week off for finals before its final four tournaments.
The Big Ten Championships, looked upon as the major event of the
season, are on May 18-20 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Men's tennis splits weekend
From Staff Reports
The Michigan men's tennis team finished its weekend road trip with a
split decision, losing at Minnesota, 7-2, on Friday and defeating Wiscon-
sin, 5-4, on Sunday.
The victory over Wisconsin was fueled by the return of first singles
player David Kass, who had been bothered by a groin injury.
"David certainly makes a difference," coach Brian Eisner said. "Getting
him back at singles lets everyone play where they should. His return was
mandatory for us to finish the season strong."
Kass' injury forced him to play only his doubles matches.
Number five singles John Karzen was the only other Wolverine singles
winner of the day, but a doubles sweep sealed the win.
The Wolverines (7-12 overall, 2-4 Midwest Conference) face Ohio State
today in Columbus and travel to Purdue and Illinois this weekend.
Lons
improve their
offense
Coach Wayne Fontes pleased with outcome of NFL draft
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) - The
Detroit Lions went after offensive
help for first-round pick Andre Ware
in the draft's second half Monday.
After selecting Ware, the Heis-
man Trophy-winning quarterback
from Houston, with the seventh pick
of the draft Sunday, the Lions added
seven more offensive players Mon-
day.
Among the players Detroit took
in the sixth through 12th rounds
were running back Maurice Henry of
Kansas State, fullback Reginald
Warnsley of Southern Mississippi,
wide receivers Willie Green of Miss-
issippi, Bill Miller of Illinois State,
Robert Claiborne of San Diego State
and offensive linemen Roman Fortin
of San Diego State and Jack Linn of
West Virginia.
"We look at our board and can
say we got what we wanted," Detroit
coach Wayne Fontes said. "We think
the people we got will help us. But
only time will tell.
"Hopefully, you'll find that this
team has been upgraded. I anticipate
half these guys will help us. This
draft will put us right on track. This
is a very productive draft for the
Detroit Lions."
Defense was the Lions' top
concern going into the draft and they
took four defensive players in the
first five rounds - including end
Dan Owens of Southern Cal and
tackle Mark Spindler of Pittsburgh.
Detroit's only defensive player ta-
ken in the second half of the draft
was Tennessee linebacker Tracy Hay-
worth, who went in the seventh
round.
Jerry Vainisi, Detroit's vice pres-
ident in charge of personnel, liked
the Lions' draft compared with other
Central Division teams.
"I think we came away with the
best draft" among Central Division
teams, said Vainisi, who helped
build the Chicago Bears team that
won Super Bowl XX.
"Minnesota didn't have enough
high picks, Green Bay helped them-
selves, I'll defer on Chicago since
I'm prejudiced there, and Tampa Bay
has a chance to have the best draft
but they rolled the dice more than
anyone," he said.
. Henry (5-11, 220) was
Detroit's sixth-round pick. He began
his collegiate career as a running
back before moving to linebacker as
a junior. But Fontes said the Lions
will use him as a running back in an
effort to replace Tony Paige, who
signed with Miami as a Plan B free
agent.
Henry rushed 62 times for 195
yards and two touchdowns as a first-
year and sophomore player before
moving to defense.
"We think he'll be an outstanding
S-back for us," Fontes said. "Hope-
fully he'll also be a good special
teams player."
SHayworth (6-2, 250) played
defensive end last season but will
likely be used at linebacker by the
Lions. He was picked in the seventh
round after finishing his college ca-
reer with 12.5 sacks, including seven
as a sophomore in 1987.
"He's a good-looking young
man," Fontes said. "I think you'll be
impressed with him. I like his
quickness and size."
Green (6-2, 179) was the
Lions first eighth-round pick. aH
ranks No. 2 on Mississippi's all-
time reception list with 126 catches
for a school-record 2,274 yards and
twelve touchdowns. Green averaged
18 yards per reception in his career
and caught at least one pass in, 36
straight games.
Miller (5-10, 180) was picked
in the 10th round after finishing his
career as Illinois State's second
leading receiver of all time.

Last weekend, the Michigan
women's water polo team earned a
third place finish at the Collegiate
Eastern Regional Water Polo
Championships in Cambridge,
Mass.
Michigan was one of only two
representatives from the Midwest
along with Ohio State.
The Wolverines (12-6-1 overall,
5-0 Big Ten) shut out Maryland in
the first half of their 9-3 first-round
victory, and beat Ohio State in the
second game, 15-7, behind a nine-
goal first quarter. In the next game,
Michigan was able to salvage a 7-7
tie with Harvard after a fourth-
quarter comeback.
The Wolverines' first loss came
in the semi-final game, as Slippery
Rock, propelled by six first-quarter
goals, stymied Michigan, 14-5.
Slippery Rock went on to win the
tournament, slithering past second-
place Harvard.
Michigan blew out Bucknell in
the Consolation-Final Game, 10-2,
giving it a third-place finish.
Candice Quinn led the Michigan
charge in the tournament, scoring a
team-high 20 goals. Anita Grierson
and Kathleen Gerzevitz, both
graduates of Ann Arbor Pioneer,
scored 14 and six goals, respectively.
