Halftime - Indiana 47, Michigan 35 surely not admit to paying the Dam- ages (read: employing a sympathetic whistle), he did just that. Call upon call went against Michigan for the remainder of the game. Hightower and his partner in crime Jody Silvester continually blew the whistle on Michigan's youngsters. It was like taking from the poor and giving to the rich. The Wolverines committed twice as many fouls as their hosts, 33-17. They were given only 16 free throw attempts, while the Hoosiers attempted 50. One began to wonder why strange things were afoot at Assembly Hall. When Chris Web- ber was whistled for a phantom fifth foul with six minutes left in the game, Michigan coach Steve Fisher provided the answer. He told the referee, "You fouled him out of the game." Hightower jogged back down the court past the Indiana bench. His time had been served, and Knight's Hoosier eyes were smiling. VICTORY OVER SPARTANS CAPS SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND Wrestlers make most of homestand by Tim Rardin Daily Sports Writer The last four days have been busier than usual for the ninth-ranked Michigan wrestling team, which boasts an unblemished 6-0-1 dual record after Saturday's triple dual meet with Central Michigan, Illinois, and Purdue, and yesterday's meet with Michigan State. The Wolverines prevailed easily over the Spartans, 38-3. Michigan bettered last year's 29-7 effort in East Lansing. Sean Bormet (158) and Jehad Hamdan (190) paved the way for Michigan, as both wrestlers recorded falls. Bormet's pin came against Roy Hall, who has been ranked in the top 16 all year. "I felt pretty good about it," Bormet said. "We were both a little cautious in the first period, but I took the advantage in the second period." The Wolverines had to settle for a tie Saturday against the No. 16 Boilermakers, who eked out a 15-15 draw in the final match at Cliff Keen Arena. The tie was set up when Michigan lost a team point as a result of some activity that took place after the match between Wolverine 126-pounder Jason Cluff and Purdue's Matt Koontz. Cluff had won the match, which would have tied the team scores at three. "Purdue definitely has some outstanding wrestlers," Wolverine coach Dale Bahr said. "I was disappointed about losing the team point at 126, but we just didn't wrestle as well as we would've liked." Aside from the Purdue match, Bahr was pleased with his team's effort against Illinois and Central, whom Michigan whipped 39-5 and 28-6, respectively. "For the most part, we wrestled aggres- sively and confidently," Bahr said. "We defi- nitely have improved since last weekend's meet and we're executing more the way we need to." Michigan's all-American Joey Gilbert (134), ranked third in the country, once again led the way, recording three major decisions on the day. Cluff also went 3-0 on the day, while all-American Lanny Green (177), ranked ninth in the country, and Jesse Rawls, Jr. (167) each went 2-1.

But they didn't hear his final decision until yesterday's press conference. "I thought he was staying an- other year," said his mother, Hattie Dawkins. "I tried my best to influ- ence him to stay, but the decision was his. Whatever he did, he had to please himself. I'm being selfish, I'd rather see him here when (his brother) Jermaine was here (next year) ... but I'm still very proud." Howard said he still intends to earn his Ph.D. "I plan on signing a contract where the organization will pay for my graduate work," he explained. He was asked if he would con- sider playing in the Canadian Football League, like Raghib "Rocket" Ismail, who also left with eligibility remaining. "At this stage, it's a business.... It's about marketability and num- bers and you try to put yourself in a position to go to the highest bid- der," Howard said. The CFL's Calgary Stampede was rumored to have offered Howard a salary similar to the one Ismail signed with the Toronto Argonauts last year - a multi- year deal worth approximately $26 million.

Radisson RESORT SOUTH PADRE ISLAND And the inevitable question. "Do you regret not turning pro after last season?" Simply put, Howard has very little left to accomplish at Michigan. Win the Heisman again? At what cost? This is where the other factors become relevant. He'll sign the most lucrative contract right now. He saw his friend Tripp Welborne suffer an injury that hurt both his knee and his career. Desmond can get his Ph.D. after his pro career, or even in the offseason, and have his pro team even pay for it. It just wouldn't be worth it to stay. Desmond loses a year at Mich- igan, probably a great one. But com- pared to what he could-lose by stay- ing, he's making a wise trade-off. He should never have to answer to anyone about regretting his deci- sion to stay. By leaving, at least he knows ahead of time what he'll be missing. Desmond's coach, Gary Moeller, asserted the detriment for most players of leaving school early. But he said even he couldn't rightly ad- vise Desmond against leaving. That's because Moeller knows Desmond is notmost players. We should all be careful to make the distinction between athletes like Steve Emtman and Amp Lee, who left school early, and student-ath- letes like Desmond Howard, who finished school early. Thanks for a great year, Desmond. Good luck. _____________ .1 1.
