The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April 24, 1990 - Page 11 MICHIGAN SPORTS J*undu9 J 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. Polo club makes splash at Regional The Final Hours 24 Hours 540 E. Liberty at Maynard 761-4539 kinko s the copy center From Staff Reports 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.
