0 Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Sports Monday - November 19, 1990 Jackson to decide between Michigan, Georgetown today by Phil Green Daily Basketball Writer He may not be Chris Webber, but Ray Jackson could become Steve Fisher's third blue-chip recruit today. According to Jackson's coach, Mike McShane, Jackson will almost definitely announce his collegiate plans today. The final two: Michigan and Georgetown. "He's always loved Michigan, ever since the third grade. Mich- igan's always been number one, and then (coach John) Thompson and Georgetown rolled in," McShane said. "It's a coin-flip to me. "I hope he goes to Michigan. I like that school and the coach," he added. "It's a first class program, but so is Georgetown. I told him, 'You can't go wrong."' The 6-foot-5 swingman is averaging 25 points and seven assists per game so far this season for Lyndon B. Johnson High School in Austin, Tx., and last year he led the school to the Final Four of the Texas state championships. In high school he plays at any position on the court, but once he hits the college level, he'll do his best work on the perimeter. "He can handle the ball and shoot the threes," McShane said. "He's a scorer, an assist man, a rebounder and a shot blocker. He's got a lot of confidence in himself." While McShane obviously has a lot of praise for his star player, Jackson is listed just inside the top 100 high school seniors in the nation. Steve Fisher has already garnered two top recruits, Chicago Voca- tional's Juwan Howard, and another Texan, Jimmy King from Plano. This has elevated this year's Wol- verine class into the top five in the nation, and Jackson would boost the ranking more. McShane doesn't think that King or Michigan rookie Rich McIver, also from Texas, will strongly influence Jackson's decision. "He likes to play with good players," McShane said. "He kind of liked seeing himself playing the point. Georgetown is looking for that kind of player." Both of Jackson's parents are teachers, and his father is also a football coach, so education is also important for him. With an 840 on his SAT, McShane believes Jackson will be able to handle the work at either school.

Michigan skiing teams prepare for season, annual Ski Swap Agassi takes ATP title FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - Andre Agassi, playing the best tennis of his career, beat top-ranked Stefan Edberg in four sets Sunday to win the ATP World Championships. In avenging an earlier defeat to Edberg during the round-robin portion of the tournament, Agassi earned $600,000 for his 5-7, 7-6, 7- 5, 6-2 victory. In all, Agassi collected $950,000 from the $2 million purse in the eight-player tournament. After winning the second-set tiebreaker, Agassi dominated the match and broke the Swede three times in the last set. Agassi became the first American to capture the season-ending champi- onship since John McEnroe in 1985. "There is no question that this is the high point of my career," the 20- year-old American said. From Staff Reports The members of the Michigan men's and women's skiing teams have been training for one month, preparing for their seasons which begin after winter break. . Although no snow is yet on the ground, the skiers train through "dryland" exercises, like running, soccer, and other endurance tests. When the season begins in January, the team will travel to Northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota where the skiing is more competitive. Both the women's and men's teams skied well last season. Both A teams, consisting of the five top skiers on the squad, finished in first place in their division, qualifying for the Regional Championships in Minnesota. At the regionals, the top three team finishers would advance to the National Championships in New Hampshire. The men unfortunately failed to qualify, finishing fifth overall. The women, however, tied for third place in the region. But, the tiebreaker forced the women's team into the fourth-place slot, denying them the chance to compete for the national title. "It was such a big let down because we had made it that far and came so close to going to Nation- als," women's co-captain Lisa Witty said. "It all came down to minor technical scoring and we just missed it." This year, both teams return with a majority of last years skiers still on the team. In addition, there are new racers who have joined the squad who look to be promising skiers. The skiing team, while receiving some funding from the university, will hold its annual fundraiser, Ski Swap, to raise money to support its entire season. The Ski Swap will be held at the Coliseum on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The team encourages everyone to bring new or used alpine or cross country ski equipment for the swap. Seles wins in first five . set match since '01 NEW YORK (AP) - Riding her powerful two-fisted groundstroke attack, Monica Seles captured the first five-set women's tennis matcW since 1901 on Sunday, defeating Gabriela Sabatini to win the Virginia Slims Championships. The 16-year-old Yugoslav, disregarding the Madison Square Garden crowd chanting "Gabby, Gabby, Gabby," outlasted Sabatini, 6-4, 5-7, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 in a match that lasted three hours and 47 minutes. It was the young legs of Seles, at 16 nearly four years younger than Sabatini, that finally told the difference in the first women's match to go five sets since Bessie Moore beat Myrtle McAteer 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 2-6, 6-2 at the U.S. National Championships in Philadelphia in 1901. Tennis officials finally said five sets was too long for women tc play, and all women's tournaments were limited to best-of-three-sets for its title match until the Virginia Slims Championships reinstated the best-of-five-sets format for its title match in 1984. Since then, three championship matches have gone four sets, but none five sets - none, that is, until this riveting season-ending finale. And, in the fifth set, Seles was marvelous. She jumped on every short ball, rocketing it back across the court. And she continued to chase down everything that Sabatini could throw her way. Sabatini put on a display of the varied shots of the game, using her impeccable touch for topspin, slice, drop shots, chips, lobs, half volleys and stretch volleys. Everyone in the crowd was impressed - except for Seles. Seles, for the most part, hit everything at one speed - hard. Sometimes she switched and hit the ball harder. But the key to Seles' success, especially early in the match, was she kept the ball in the court, making fewer unforced errors. And she pounced on Sabatini's short@ serves, if not hitting winners outright, then putting her immediately on the offense. And though Sabatini had the crowd and the momentum, having beaten the No. 1 seed Steffi Graf in the semi-finals, Seles proved to have the ability to dictate each point in the end.
