Ice Hockey Blue-White game Friday, 7:30 p.m. Yost Ice Arena SPORTS Thursday, October 4, 1990 Football vs. Wisconsin 1 p.m. (WJR, WWJ, WPZA) at Madison, WI Page 9 The Michigan Daily, Spartans overtake men, 2-1 by Kenneth Artz Daily Sports Writer The Michigan men's soccer team beat the Michigan State Spartans yesterday... but for only the first half. The Spartans finally put on their game face and scored twice in the second half to pull out a 2-1 victory. The Wolverines led at the half, 1-0, and looked as if they were about to end the Spartans' 20-year winning streak against Michigan. Throughout the first half, Michi- gan beat the Spartans to the ball and dominated them from end line to end line. The quicker Wolverines set the aggressive tone from the start as midfielder Todd Neff sent the goalie to the ground in pain 20 seconds into the game. Nineteen minutes into the first half, Neff scored from ten yards out by poking in a bouncing ball with the outside of his right foot. Tim Puckett and forward Paul Pashkoff assisted on the play. But at halftime, the teams seemed to switch uniforms, as the momen- tum appeared to be on State's side at the start of the second half. "We were flat today from the long road trip over the weekend (to Illinois)," said coach Don Schwartz, "and the reason we played so well in the first half was due to adrenaline." Michigan Soccer Michigan did not stop fighting, though, and with two minutes left in the game, came inches away from tying it up. Midfielder Frank Kara- betsos won a loose ball in the Spar- tans' penalty box, and ripped a right foot shot that hit the post and rico- cheted out of bounds. The loss evened Michigan's record at 6-6. The Wolverines try to break the .500 mark when they play Central Michigan at Mitchell field next Tuesday. Michigan State's strikers found more space to roam in the second half and stuck in the tying goal with 24 minutes left in the game. "Our team really lost its legs that second half," Sophomore midfielder Greg Hake said, "and Michigan State's size really had a lot to do with that." The Spartans knocked in the game-winner at the 19-minute mark on a shot from the 18 yard line. Women disappoited with tie FILE PHOTO Don Davey, Wisconsin's three-time academic All-American defensive tackle, will be part of the unit trying to stop Jon Vaughn and the Wolverine offense this Saturday in Madison. Davey hopes tO hit by Jeff Cameron and R.C. Heaton Daily Sports Writers Yesterday afternoon, the Michi- gan women's soccer team tied Schoolcraft Community College, 2- 2. It was a poorly played game by both teams and neither deserved to win, Wolverine players said. "We were a little sluggish," se- nior forward Krista Towne said. "It was the middle of the week, and we had the blahs." Towne started the scoring at the 15:30 mark of the first half with an assist from Alicia Stewart. The Lady Wolverines sustained the lead until the 15:12 mark of the second half when Schoolcraft knotted the score, 1-1. - The action was virtually nonexis- tent, as the play got stuck near mid- field for most of the game. The Wolverines manufactured only six shots on goal, and Schoolcraft man- aged only five. Michigan's poor play was sur- prising because it has been playing well lately. . "I could totally see the difference between today and the Indiana game (Sunday)," goalie Sandy Najarian said. "Things weren't clicking (tonight)." Schoolcraft took the lead, 2-1, at the 31:18 mark of the second half. The Wolverines fought back, and with eight minutes left, they tied the score. Heather Marshall led Lisa Ashton with a pass that left Ashton all alone with Schoolcraft's goalie. Ashton faked the goalie and shot the ball into the back of the net to tie the score. Two injuries forced Najarian to fill in at goalie. The regular netmin- der, Jenny Saul, has a hip contusion and Najarian has been suffering from a knee injury of her own. Najarian is normally a defender, but moved to goalie because it does not require as much movement. "It feels good to be on the field," Najarian said. "I just want to contribute." The Wolverines will try to bounce back this weekend vhen they take on Bowling Green at 1 p.m. at 'Elbel Field Saturday and Ohio State at 2 p.m. Sunday. the NFL's by Pat Fitzmaurice The (Wisconsin) Badger Herald There are few rituals as embar- rassing as the NFL rookie sing-a- long. * oA rookie reluctantly climbs atop his table as the chant, "Sing... Sing... SING!" dissolves into cheers and hoots before ceasing. He clears bhisthroat, surveys the room, and *begins to sing "Varsity, Varsity..." All of the veterans burst into laugh- ter, and by the time the rookie raises his right arm and starts swaying slowly to and fro, many of the veter- ans have dropped to the floor in physterics. Ten months from now, Wiscon- sin defensive tackle Don Davey would love to be the one entertain- ing those veterans. Next summer, Davey will get the chance to fulfill-a lifelong dream and make an NFL squad. Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dan McCarney says the scouts will love what they see in Davey. "He's a fabulous effort player," McCarney said. "He's got a good base, and he uses his hands real well." However, should he fail, it will really be no failure at all. Not only has he been blessed with a great athletic frame, the 6- foot-4, 270-pound Davey also has a gifted mind. Throw in his never- legive-in work ethic and you have a remarkable student-athlete, perhaps high notes the state of Wisconsin's best ever. At Manitowoc Lincoln High School, Davry graduated as the class valedictorian and led his football team to a 24-0 record and state championships during his junior and senior years. At Wisconsin, Davey finished his undergraduate studies with a 3.6 grade-point average while making the academic All-America team for three straight years. By December, Davey will be only twelve credits short of a Mas- ter's Degree in Mechanical Engineer- ing, and he could make the academic All-America team for a fourth time - something no other football player has ever done. The small-town Wisconsin boy's feats have already made state resi- dents beam with pride, but Davey doesn't want to leave the state once he's finished in Madison. "I'd love to get a chance to play for the Packers," Davey said. "It's something I've always dreamed about. " Those who know him have little doubt that Don Davey will succeed in the NFL, or whatever he decides to do. Right now, all he wants to do is bring back some pride to a bat- tered Wisconsin football program. Next summer, he'll want to be up on a table, embarrassed, and singing his school song in front of scream- ing NFL veterans. But this is Don Davey; he's probably got a great set of vocal chords, too. Ryan Schreiber Two Wolverines finally - un-cover double feature Congratulations, coach, and that goes double. Allow me to explain. In April 1969, the St. Louis Blues were en- joying a spectacular season, paced by a 29-year- old forward having his best season ever. Though his career spanned 17 years, during this particular season he tallied 35 goals and 47 assists for a ca- reer-high 82 points. In April 1969, the Detroit Tigers were ready to open the season as defending World Champi- ons after the greatest year in Tiger history.'They were led by a 27-year-old catcher who would earn the last of his five straight Golden Glove awards in the coming year. In April 1969, both of these men appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in successive weeks. Now, both are Michigan head coaches, having once been star athletes as undergraduates here. The hockey player, Gordon Berenson, better known as Red, was a two-time All-America for- ward for Michigan from 1960 to 1962. Inducted into the University of Michigan Hall of Honor in 1983, he has paraded on the Wolverine bench for the last six seasons. The baseball player, Bill Freehan, graced the Michigan gridiron as well, lettering in both sports as a sophomore. He received an identical induction to the hall in 1978 and now awaits the opening of his second season at the helm of the Michigan baseball team. And Sports Illustrated gave them top billing - Red first on April 7, then Bill on April 14, and neither noticed the Michigan link for over 20 years. "As I look back, it was unique in the sense that Freehan and I were acquaintances and we were both Michigan guys but we were going our separate ways," Berenson said. "I didn't realize at the time that Freehan was on the next week, un- til it was brought to our attention just this year." Said Freehan: "I didn't realize it until Sports Illustrated did their 35th anniversary cover issue. Someone pointed it out in-the following issue, asking if anyone noticed that we were on succes- sive covers. That was pointed out as a letter to the editor, and that was my first recognition." Aside from the obvious coincidences, the pho- tos were both unique, with Berenson's shot com- ing from beneath a glass platform and Freehan's surrounded by a spiral of patriotic color. "You could see the bottom of the skates, the bottom of the puck, and the bottom of my stick, so it was kind of a different shot," Berenson said. "And I was one of the few hockey players to have an opportunity to be on the magazine's cover, so I was thrilled." Freehan's picture was also an oddity. "Actually, the cover was (Denny) McLain and myself," he said. "There was a_ fold-out inside that didn't appear. I was on the outside and if you took that original issue and folded it out, there was McLain pitching to me in a star-studded type, red, white and blue, made-up uniform. It was a thrill to do it." Both coaches marvel at the mysticism and take pride in the fact that the Michigan coaching staff participated in such a rarity. "Red had no idea at that point in time, nor did I, that either of us would ever be coaches at the University of Michigan," Freehan said, "and I think we look at it as more of a coincidence than anything else." Berenson added: "I think it's kind of nice for Michigan to look back and see that there's not just a little bit of nostalgia, but a little bit of no toriety in some of the people that are here. It says a lot for the staff." But it doesn't only say a lot for Michigan's athletic department. It speaks louder than words for the two men who were honored in April 1969. Congratulations, coach, and that goes double. Hey, it's only 21 years late. e .r, 30 OMI 1a
