The outcome of the doubles matches should help determine pairings for regular season play. "We're trying several new doubles combinations to see how well they play together and (their results) could have an impact on our spring lineup," Michigan coach Elizabeth Ritt said. Junior Christine Schmeidel's bout with tendonitis may not allow her to play, Ritt indicated, and her absence leaves room for juniors Freddy Adam and Kim Pratt to team up at first doubles. Another new combination will be captain Stacey Berg and sophomore Kalei Beamon at second doubles. Neither pair played together during the Indiana Fall Tournament or the North Carolina State Classic, the Wolverines' first two tournaments of the season. can be misleading. "A lot depends on the draw," she said. "If our No. 2's all draw No. 1's, it would be a more difficult match (than if it were in head-to-head competition)." Though the format of the tour- 'We're trying several new doubles combin- ations to see how well they play together' - Michigan women's tennis coach Elizabeth Ritt team is to win all the flights. We want to see all Michigan finals. i possible." This tournament is unusual in that there will be eight singles positions to fill instead of the usual six, which Ritt feels "will give alt players a good opportunity to get some matches in," while alsa boosting Michigan's confidence. Ritt is looking for improvement from everyone, since the Wolver2 ines' last tournament was in early@ September, and they have had a few; weeks to prepare. "We have all six starters back anc everyone is playing well," Ritt added. "We're hoping for some morn aggressive play in doubles and smarter points in singles." Like the previous two matches, this tournament is an individual flighted tournament in which each team's No. 1 and No. 2 entrants are put in the same draw. Each team's No. 3 and No. 4 entrants then form a separate draw. According to Ritt, the results of this type of tournament nament has changed, and will not be scored, Ritt still considers these matches against Michigan State, Western Michigan and Eastern Mich- igan crucial. "All the matches are important in terms of confidence," the coach said.

The Hoosiers can't play worse than they did last week in their 45-19 loss to Michigan. The Old Brass Spittoon will be up for grabs in East Lansing this weekend, and the Spartans should take it home with ease. Once again, offense should be the key factor. State has a consistent quarterback in Dan Enos, while Indiana hasn't quite known what to expect from its quarterback "tandem" of Trent Green and Chris Dyer. Furthermore, the Green and White need a victory to stay in the hunt for a bowl berth. GILL Continued from page 1 coached, loved the game of football, and never left the school. "We look back at a guy like Bennie Oosterbaan and say, 'That was a great guy."' No one may choose to differ. This man won 63 games, three Big Ten Championships, a Rose Bowl and a national title in his 11 years (1948-58) as the Wolverines' grid- iron leader. While a student in the 1920's, he lettered in three sports a total of nine times, and was a football All- American three times. But there were no boisterous shouts and no egoistic attempts for attention. "He was a junior when I came in as a freshman," recalled Kip Taylor, the man who caught the first touchdown in Michigan Stadium. "I was so much in awe of this All- American. Yet, he would always take the time and come over and visit with me. It was a thrill to be in his company. "He was a soft spoken man - I don't think I ever heard him swear." This quiet mannerism led him to quietly tell Schembechler years later that, while he respected his coach- ing, he thought he should "calm down." There's a famous photo, Schem- bechler recalled, that was taken shortly after he arrived at Michigan. It contained all the big coaches after .. - .1 Want to Know Where Your Liberal Arts Degree CLead?

He coached without raising his voice. He coached with humor. He coached as a winner. Bennie Oosterbaan is gone. But what Oosterbaan stood for is still here: the honesty, the love for the game, the love for a special university.
