Last week the team scraped out a 2-1 road victory against Macomb College and beat a strong Windsor team 4-3 in overtime. Today that streak goes on the line but the team is ready. "Western Ontario is typically an intense, rough playing team. We have to be mentally and physically prepared for that type of play," midfielder and four-year starter Matt Dikin said. Last year Michigan posted an easy 4-0 defeat of Western Ontario on the road but they are not taking this game for granted. "We can't afford to come out flat, like against Macomb College, where we had to come from behind," Dikin added. Coach Don Swartz agrees with Dikin. "Western Ontario, like most Canadian teams, is very solid getting to balls which are in the air. We are working on our air game, practicing heading the ball in preparation." Today's game will start at 5:00pm at Mitchell Field. There is no charge for admission. Women's soccer looks to end two-game skid 0 Is by Rob Siege Daily Sports Contributor The Michigan women's soccer team, sporting a 4-2 record, travels to Canada today to take on the University of Windsor squad. After an optimistic 4-0 start, the team has dropped its last two decisions. The first loss came at the hands of Minnesota Friday afternoon. The second loss, a 3-2 decision against Penn State, occured this past Sunday. Despite the two losses, the team is extremely upbeat and feels their first four games are more reflective of the team's ability. "Because it is earlier in the season, losses are easier to take," senior sweeper Leslie Martin said. "We should have won both games. We really look forward to playing Windsor." While Michigan coach Phil Joyaux does not know any specifics about Windsor, he anticipates a physical matchup. "They play hard," said Joyaux. "They don't play dirty but they are very aggressive. We're going to have to be ready for them from the get-go." Martin echoed her coach's statement: "The Windsor team plays at a high level intensity- wise," she said. "They're always tough." The team plays Farmingdale, N.Y. on Thursday at Schoolcraft College. 9. Tailback Jon Vaughn evades a Notre Dame tackler en route to offensive Big Ten player of the week honors. SRight answers LFOOTBALL NOTEBOOK to ND elude Mo f y Atlanta gains '96 by Eric Lemont Daily Football Writer Four days after recovering from Saturday's 28-24 loss to Notre Dame, Michigan football coach Gary Moeller has been scouring the game films for clues on what exactly went wrong. Unlike the past few seasons, Michigan accomplished its goal of holding in check Raghib Ismail and the rest of the Irish's special teams. Notre Dame finished the game with zero yards on punt returns and 60 yards on kickoff returns. However, i pel WHAT'S HAPPENING RECREATIONAL SPORTS Intramural Sports Program SOMETHING NEW!

Although happy with the overall performance of his defense, Moeller is looking for more consistency. "On their last drive, I felt we would hold them to a field goal or something. We can improve the play of our linebackers and we can tackle better," he ssaid. "That was what failed us in that game. We might have overlooked that in favor of the special teams." VAUGHN HONORED: Run- ning back Jon Vaughn was named Big Ten offensive player of the week yesterday after his 201 yards rushing against Notre Dame Saturday. Vaughn, who became the first Mich- igan back to run for 200 yards since Tony Boles ran for 213 against Wake Forest two years ago, better not rest on his laurels. "Not does one game make a player," Moeller said. "If he keeps getting 200 yards a game then I'd be very, very pleased if I could get 2400 yards out of him. I say that jokingly of course but you guys (the media) made him the Big Ten player of the week. Let's see how he responds to that." ATLANTA (AP) - Rockets flared even though it was daylight and pandemonium broke out in celebration Tuesday when the city was named as the site of the 1996 Summer Olympics. An estimated 5,000 people skipped worked Tuesday morning and packed the plaza at Underground Atlanta, in the heart of the city, to watch the 1996 Summer Olympics site announcement on closed-circuit television from Tokyo. International Olympic Com- mittee President Juan Antonio Samaranch said the games were going to "At.." The throng gasped as one. "At" as in Athens, or "At" as in Atlanta? It was Atlanta, and the town known as "Loserville" for its sports teams was a winner at last. "This was unbelievable," Mayor Maynard Jackson told reporters in Tokyo. "This proves that if you don't run the race, you don't have a chance to win." Thousands of Atlantans literally jumped for joy, up and down, jumping and screaming. "I wanted this so bad," said Janice Stockard of suburban Decatur. "I wanted it because Atlanta is great. This means a lot. We got the 1994 Super Bowl and now we've got the Olympics." The opening ceremony will be on July 20th, 1996 at a stadium that has not yet been built. "I am absolutely amazed," said Michael Lomax, chair of Atlanta's Fulton County Commission. "I can't believe Atlanta has gone from a place nobody thought had a chance to really getting those games." "It's going to be great. I'm psyched. Why else would I get up at five in the morning?" said Ginger Thomas of Marietta. "I want a shirt." Within seconds of the announcement, the crowd was six deep for Atlanta Olympic T-shirts. The lines were just as long for the Atlanta Journal's extra edition, on the street within half an hour with the screaming headline: "It's Atlanta!!" "We were prepared with several stories," said Calvin Stovall, assistant to the managing editor. "As soon as the announcement was made, we were able to hit the button." Sports is hardly Atlanta's strong point. The baseball, football, and basketball teams are perennial losers. The hockey team is long gone. An alympics amateur baseball all-star game this summer, billed as an Olympic warmup, was a box-office flop. Atlanta's dream came from a former Georgia football player, Billy Payne, who dared to suggest going after the Olympics. The spark cane' when he convinced Andrew Young, who left office as mayor this year but remained the city's Olympic pitchman even while running an unsuccessful campaign for Georgia governor. Payne and Young spent three* years and seven million dollars, primarily privately raised, talking to( anyone who would listen. "We have to thank God and pray that we are worthy and that all of the" things that we have said, we can- make come true," Young said in, Tokyo. , . Atlanta has claimed to be "an,, international city" since the airport. sold its first tickets to Canada. But Tuesday, there was the sense that the boast was really true. "It's going to be a terrific boost for the economy.... and make this truly an international city," said,1 Ashford Hunter, who moved her eI. from Jersey City, New Jersey. "Any, time you've been given the honor to. host something of this magnitude, you should be proud of yourself." * _ o.. m 0 Giants keep hopes alive in West BE A LEADER Summer Orientation 1991 Applications for Summer Orientation Leaders are available at the Office of Orientation 3000 Michigan Union.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Will Clark and John Burkett gave the San Francisco Giants a little hope for one more day. Clark hit a pair of homers and Burkett allowed 8 hits in 8 2/3 innings Tuesday for a 5-3 victory that slowed the Reds' title drive. "It helps morale," Clark said, af- ter the Giants ended a four-game los- ing streak. The defending National League West champions left Cincinnati 7 1/2 games behind the Reds whose number for clinching the title is eleven. Los Angeles trail by 5 1/2 games before playing Tuesday night in Atlanta. "We'll probably have to win about twelve (of the remaining fourteen games)," said Burkett, 13-7. "I think we can still do it." Clark, playing with a sore left foot that probably will require surgery after the season, hit two of the three homers off of Tom Browning (13-9), who has been in- effective since spraining his ankle August 17. Clark had a solo homer in the first and a two-run homer in the fifth - his first two-homer game since June 8. "Basically, it's a matter of get- ting pitches to hit and not missing them," Clark said. Kevin Mitchell also had a solo homer off Browning, who is 1-3 iti five starts since the injury, with anA 8.78 ERA. He has allowed thirty- seven hits and twenty-seven earned0 runs in twenty-seven and two-thirds innings. "I'm a little dejected," Browning said. "I want to contribute as much as I can. I haven't had good control of anything lately. I don't feel in groove. I'm just trying to find it." : Burkett won for just the fourth' time in thirteen starts since the Al1 Star break, after going 9-2 in the, first half. The right hander struck ou two and didn't walk a batter through: 8 2/3, yielding to Steve Bedrosian after allowing a double to Hal; Morris and singles to Chris Sab. and Glenn Braggs in the ninth: Bedrosian gave up an RBI single; before getting Eric Davis to fly out. to center, clinching his thirteenth save in seventeen chances. , The Giants finished with an 11-7 advantage in their season series with-. the Reds - 8-1 in Candlestick Park: and 3-6 in Riverfront Stadium.
