Thursday night, he finally reached the top. Holyfield scored a third round knockout of James "Buster" Douglas to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Although Holyfield's reign as champ is just beginning, his capture of the title has ended a long uphill struggle. A struggle to call himself "champion" that should have ended years ago. The 1984 Summer Olympic Games featured Holyfield as a 178 lb. light-heavywieght. Many considered the young American to be the best fighter of any weight class at the games. Through his first four fights, he disappointed no one, easily disposing his opponents. However, in his next fight, Holyfield was stopped short of his Olympic dream. . Holyfield was in the second round of the semifinal bout with New Zealander Kevin Barry. As Barry began to stagger, Holyfield threw a right to the body followed by a vicious left hook to the head just as ring offi- cial Gligorije Novicic yelled "STOP." Novicic signalled the fighters to break as Holyfield threw the punch, but Barry went sprawling across the canvass and was counted out. Novicic then disqualified Holyfield for hitting on the break. Replays showed Holyfield's punch was well on its way before the ref- eree's signal. The enraged crowd knew it, Holyfield knew it and Barry probably knew it (though he was in no condition to say so). But surpris- ingly, Holyfield accepted the official's decision as final, without argu- ment. A Yugoslav named Josipovic won the gold. Yet, what most remember was Holyfield's impressive boxing, the tainted bronze medal he was awarded, and his display of class under adversity that has characterized his career ever since. Holyfield continued his climb to be champion, enduring criticism and hardship along the way. Many said he was too small - not a true heavy- weight but a bulked-up cruiserweight. They said he was too slow and that he had no punching power. Through it all, he did not complain or verbally attack his doubters. Rather, he kept faith in himself and let his fists do the talking. Those fists earned him another chance to reach the top of the mountain, and only a slightly-rotund heavyweight champion named "Buster" stood in his path. Last Thursday, Holyfield finally proved to the world and to himself that he is a champion. He proved he is a legitimate heavyweight. He proved his speed and quickness. And with one crushing right that sent Douglas to the mat for over three minutes, he proved his punching power. Holyfield won with class, not with arrogant talking as is the norm in the boxing world. Holyfield reached the top of the mountain. Now he can finally call himself a champion. Those who watched him climb knew he was one all along.

The Wolverines posted a solid 5- 2 victory over Alma College on the road. But two late Alma goals in the second half ended a four-game streak of shutouts by Michigan goalie Marc Kuiper - thus, the disap- pointment. Michigan played well in the opening half. Early in the first half, first-year sweeper Brian Rosewarne opened the scoring with the first of his two goals. The prettiest play of the game came on the Wolverines' second goal. Senior Rob Albritton carried the ball down the field,'leaving many Alma defenders in his path. He then made a perfect pass to sopho- more Kelley Kuehne who kicked the ball past the Alma goalie. Guy Metsger added a score to give Michigan a 3-0 lead at half- time, and it seemed Kuiper would coast to a fifth shutout. A different Michigan team, how- ever, came off the bench for the sec- ond half. Though the jersey numbers hadn't changed, the Wolverines' style of play deteriorated. Alma scored quickly, but Michi- gan put the game out of reach with two quick goals. Alma ended the scoring with a goal off a penalty shot late in the game. 'The midfielders... beat the opposing players to the ball, got back quickly on defense, and con- trolled the tempo of the game.' - Tim Puckett Michigan defender Alma's goal," Schwartz said. "I would have pulled Kuiper whether or not he had given up that goal." Despite the defensive lapses i the second half, Schwartz w , pleased with his team's play. "We did not accomplish our main goal of shutting them out," he said. "We played a solid first half and pressed hard. The second half was not up to par, but I'm basically pleased with everyone's play." Junior defender Tim Puckett added, "The midfielders played well especially Todd Neff and Fra*; Karabetsos. They beat the opposing players to the ball, got back quickly on defense, and controlled the tempo of the game." After Alma's first score, Schwartz replaced Kuiper with first- year keeper Alex Brodsky. "Brodsky was already warming up before CCHA Scorecard Standings TEAM (OVERALL) Rec. Pts.

The other stayed at home after its first losing season since 1980. Illinois has continued with its winning ways, boasting a 6-1 record and a No. 5 national ranking. On the other hand, Iowa has made a com- plete turnaround after a disappointing 5-6 record in 1989. The Hawkeyes are currently ranked No. 13 with a 6- 1 record, only losing at Miami (Fla). On Saturday, the Hawkeyes travel to Illinois in a game that most peo- ple are talking about as the one that will determine the Big Ten Cham- pion. "It's certainly a key game," Ohio State coach John Cooper said. "The team that wins will be in the driver's seat, but there's a lot of football left to be played." Illinois coach John Mackovic agreed.

"But we are reminding ourselves that there are other games after this one. We can't put everything all in one game and forget about the rest." Other coaches in the conference agree that this game will determine the champion - except Iowa coach Hayden Fry. "I fully disagree with that," Fry said. "We've got three tough games left (Ohio State, Purdue and at Min- nesota) and Illinois has at least two tough games (at Michigan and at In- diana). But we're looking forward to the ballgame. "We feel good about ourselves and our chances," Fry added. "We're playing with more experience ari not making dumb mistakes. Ifce , based on our performances, we dc- serve our No. 13 ranking.
