Men's Soccer vs. Macomb Tomorrow, 4 p.m. Mitchell Field The Michigan Daily SPORTS Women's Soccer vs. Sienna Heights College Today, 4:30 p.m. Mitchell Field Tuesday, October 15, 1991 Page 9 COACH WANTS TO SEE IMPROVEMENT Mo sees by Matt Rennie Daily Football Writer Football coaches have to be eter- nal pessimists. No matter how good things seem to be, they can never al- low themselves to be happy. Michigan coach Gary Moeller must have made a concerted effort to keep from cracking a smile over the weekend, after his Michigan team beat Michigan State, 45-28. The victory raised the Wolver- ines' record to 2-0 in the Big Ten and 4-1 overall, but it represented much more than that. Michigan has now avenged all three of last season's de- feats. The Wolverines beat Iowa and Notre Dame earlier this season. "That was one of my big objec- tives coming into the season," Moeller said. "The worst thing about losing those games last year was that the rest of the year, you keep asking yourself, 'How'd you let that one get away?"' However, Moeller didn't have long to savor the moment. His mind is now occupied with improving his pass rush and finding a way to stop Indiana running back Vaughn Dun- bar. Finding a replacement for in- jured inside linebacker Steve Morri- glass ha son will be instrumental to both of those goals. Redshirt frosh Marcus Walker excelled in place of Morrison. Walker led the Wolverines in tack- ling with six solos and five assists. "Walker did a good job," Moeller said. "He probably won't play as well as Morrison, and I say that not to badmouth him but as a tribute to Steve. But Walker did a better job than I thought he'd be able to coming in cold." Moeller was upset over the amount of time Michigan State quarterback Jim Miller had to throw the ball. "I wasn't pleased with the pass rush," Moeller said. "We can't let a guy just sit back there for as long as he wants." Middle guard Tony Henderson and tackle Steve Reckowski each registered the first sacks of their Wolverine careers against the Spar- tans. FRIDAY NIGHT FEVER: The date and time of Michigan's game at Minnesota, which was scheduled for Oct. 26 at 1:30 p.m., will be changed to Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. The Golden Go- phers play their home games at the If empty Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome the home stadium of the Minnesota Twins. The Twins are in the World Se- ries after beating the Toronto Blue Jays in five games, and the sixth game of the World Series is sched- uled for Oct. 26 at the site of the American League team. "Gosh darn those Blue Jays," said Moeller, who is not enchanted with the idea of playing a Friday night game. M O VIN' ON UP: After Ten- nessee's loss to Florida, the Wolverines moved up to fourth in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. Florida State continues to sit atop the poll, while Miami (Fla.) and Washington occupy the second and third slots, respectively. Notre Dame rounds out the top five. NOWHERE TO RUN: For the fourth time this season, Michigan held its opponent under 100 yards rushing. The Wolverines also kept Iowa, Notre Dame, and Boston Col- lege under the century mark. "Anytime you shut down your opponents' running game, you're go- ing to have a good chance of win- ning," Moeller said. KENNETH SMOLLEH MSU's Tico Duckett is contained by Michigan's Marcus Walker and Erick Anderson. Walker replaced the injured Steve Morrison. Michigan held its opponent under 100 yards rushing for the fourth time this season. Big Bottoms win, 6-0, need offensive help Students catch dose of Midnight Madness by Kurt Luttermoser If you haven't heard by now, Big Bottoms fever is sending chills throughout the intramural football league (IFL). However, the opening game for Big Bottoms was not what. the doctor ordered. Although Big Bottoms won the game, the 6-0 victory over Team Six in the opening Independent A game was not vintage Bottoms football. Four times, Big Bottoms landed in- side Team Six's five yard line, and four times, they came away empty- handed. The only score of the game came when Team Six's quarterback, two yards away from his own end zone, completed a pass to lineman Jarmen Davis. The problem was that Davis plays for Big Bottoms. Davis' inter- ception proved to be the only score in the game. If Big Bottoms expects to unseat defending champion Lethal Weapon II from the throne, they must im- prove on offense and, more impor- tantly, scoring inside the ten-yard line. Otherwise, Big Bottoms can wave an IFL championship and an invitation to the White House goodbye. Cross Country Results- Craig North, with a time of 17:17.13, took the All-Campus/Independent X- country run. In the Fraternity dash, Alpha Delta Phi commanded the top four times, led by Lobbia, who set the pace at 21 minutes and 44 sec- onds. by John Niyo Daily Basketball Writer Despite rumors to the contrary, basketball fans are alive and well in Michigan. All it took was a little madness to draw them out. The first Midnight Madness - initiated this year by the Michigan Athletic Department and the bas- ketball staff to spur interest and support for Wolverine basketball - kicked off the 1991-92 season last night at Crisler Arena. However, for some, the madness began Sunday night. Several die-hard fans braved the cold and rain and camped out in order to be the first people in the door when Crisler opened at 7:30 p.m. yesterday. "No weather would stop us from getting tickets," LSA first- year student Marvin Solomiany said. The overnight guests were joined by more fans in the early morning hours yesterday. "We went inside Michigan Stadium and did some Desmond catches in the end zone to pass the time," said LSA first-year student Jeff Alexander, who showed up with several friends at 8:30 a.m. "This shows Michigan fans aren't dead. We want Crisler to be like it is at Duke and Indiana." Students who lined up early re- ceived another surprise. Yesterday at 5 p.m., Wolverine coach Steve Fisher and his assistant coaches Perry Watson and Jay Smith brought 20 pizzas to the fans in line to thank them for their support. By the time the doors opened last night, the line of ticket buyers stretched around the outer con- course of Crisler. 'This shows Michigan fans aren't dead' -Jeff Alexander, LSA first-year student Michigan ticket department of- ficials seemed prepared for the number of students who showed up. "We're not going to turn down any applications tonight," basket- ball Sports Information Director Bill Wickett said. "We have 5,000 tickets allotted, and if we have more people show up, then we might have, to do something else." By 10 p.m., approximately 3,000 of those 5,000 tickets had been sold.

Butler at Valparaiso 20.:N .'llinois at Florida Tiebreaker: Michigan: Indiana:_~~_ by Tim Rardin Daily Sports Writer One word describes the last meeting between the Michigan women's soccer team and Siena Heights - physical. Though the Wolverines prevailed, 4-0, the score was not indicative of the teams' ag- gressive styles of play. Michigan coach Phil Joyaux noted a key difference between the two teams. "We are very physical, but ev- erything we do is legal," he said. "Siena Heights gets called for a lot of fouls. They are probably the dirt- iest women's team I've seen." Physical toughness will again be a factor as the Wolverines, coming off two victories last weekend, square off against the Saints today at 4:30 p.m. at Mitchell Field. The game will match Michigan's 14-0-2. season record against Siena Heights' 2-9 mark. Despite Michigan's victory against Siena Heights earlier this season, Joyaux isn't taking the Saints lightly. "They are a very good team and they normally get a bid to the (NAIA) national playoffs," he said. "In our last meeting, they were missing a lot of players because of injuries and grades. We had beaten them before, but that game was the first time we have won decidedly against them." Injuries have continued to plague Siena Heights since their last meet ing with the Wolverines. "Against Michigan in the first game, we were only working with 15 or 16 girls," Siena Heights coach Phil Weaver said. "Since then, we've. been hit with a lot of injuries in very crucial positions. We're now down to 11 or 12 players." This will allow Siena Heights only limited substitutions, whereas the Wolverines will be able to sub- stitute freely with well over 20 players available on the roster.
