NCAA may deal with
sports individually
by Theodore Cox

Daily Sports Editor
ANAHEIM, Calif. - After
passing blanket rules which affected
all sports at its last two conven-
tions, the NCAA may try to refine
its focus at future meetings.
"The vast majority of the rules
are made for football and basket-
ball, and then we let them fall out
and impact on the other sports,"
NCAA executive director Richard
Schultz said. "I think it is time for
us to begin a study as to the poten-
tial value of federating our rules on
a sport-by-sport basis."
"There may be a tendency to
overlegislate," Michigan Associate
Athletic Director Peggy Bradley-
Doppes said. "We're going to have
to start looking at sports specifi-
cally. But we also have to remember
that a lot of the good things that
come from athletics are because of
football and basketball."
Problems arise because certain
sports are varsity level at only a
minority of schools. For example,
less than 60 universities support an
ice hockey program. Yet, over 300
colleges are able to determine legis-
lation on the sport.
Last year, the convention short-
ened the hockey season. At a school
like Wisconsin, which sells out ev-
ery home game, the loss of one

scheduled contest means the loss of
$115,000 in revenue.
"It's difficult for these schools
who don't participate in hockey to
appreciate that," Michigan State
President John DiBiaggio said. "I
wish at least that these schools
would abstain from voting."
DiBiaggio strongly lobbied at
this week's 86th annual convention
to add a second assistant coach to
hockey teams. The proposal failed
by a 2-to-i margin.
However, wrestling received a
vote of support. An amendment
passed allowing wresting programs
to hire one assistant coach and one
restricted earnings coach. The
NCAA also passed legislation
which allowed coaches to supervise
or work with student-athletes dur-
ing the summer term, provided the
contact is initiated by the player.
Both moves were done for safety
reasons.
Finally, an amendment was
passed allowing student athletes to
negotiate their worth with profes-
sional teams without surrendering
their college eligibility. This does
not allow them to use an agent, and
football and basketball players
would still lose their eligibility if
they entered the NFL or NBA draft.

David Oliver and the rest of the Michigan hockey team will face off with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame this
weekend in a home-and-home series. The Wolverines will host the Irish Saturday at Yost Ice Arena.

The Michigan wrestling team
will host its first home match of
the season tomorrow afternoon
when it squares off in a double dual
against the Eastern Michigan Eagles
and the Morgan State Golden Bears
at Keen Arena.
The Wolverines, who are 1-0 and
ranked ninth in the nation, have been
successful in previous meetings
with the squads, boasting a 5-0
record against the Eagles, while cap-
turing all four matches with the
Golden Bears.
Last season, Michigan trounced
the Eagles, 35-10. The victory was
paved by heavyweight Phil Tomek
and Joey Gilbert (134 pounds), who
both recorded pins at the match.
Tomek and Gilbert will again
lead the Wolverines this year, along
with all-American Lanny Green
(177).
Because it is a non-conference
match, Michigan coach Dale Bahr
plans to give his reserve wrestlers a
chance in competition.
"Everyone came back healthy
from break, but I want to give some
of my reserves experience," he said.
"Of course, if the score is close, I'll
put in additional starters."
Eastern Michigan's Tony Ven-
turini (118) leads the Eagles squad
this season with an 18-5 record. The
most competitive match-ups will be
EMU's David Beck (8-1 at 134) vs.
Gilbert (18-2), as well as Scott
Jones (14-6 at 177) going head-to-
head with Michigan's Green (14-5).
Morgan State, a small school in
Baltimore, competes against many
large schools to get prepared for
their conference matches. The
Golden Bears are led by heavy-
weight Shane Black, the lone senior
on the squad.
"We're also a fairly young team,
but we have more experience," Bahr
said.
The Wolverines will face Mor-
gan State at noon, and Eastern
Michigan at 2 p.m. at Keen Arena.

There's a new class on campus
this term. While it doesn't have an
official course description, it might
be described something like this:
Hockey 101: Alchemy on Ice-
Maximum Potency and Efficiency
Through Varying Biomechanical
Factors. Meets Friday and Saturday
evenings.
This weekend, mad scientist/
Michigan hockey coach Red Beren-
son returns to the lab to find those
most elusive of sports commodities,
"balance and chemistry." The No. 4
Wolverines (9-3-3 CCHA, 13-3-3
overall) travel to Notre Dame
tonight and return to host the 6-8-1
Irish Saturday at Yost Arena.
"We're putting some new play-
ers in the lineup. I want to see what
they can do to help the team,"
Berenson said. The players in ques-
tion are rookie Anton Fiodorov and
walkon forward Vaclav Nedoman-

sky. Both have yet to don the maize
and blue sweater this season, and
Fiodorov is more than ready.
"I've waited for this for half a
season, so I'm excited," he said. "I
love to play. I need to play."
In addition to forwards
Fiodorov and Nedomansky, Beren-
son also plans to give defenseman
Mark Sakala his debut Saturday
night.
However, roster changes won't
be the only mixing and matching
Berenson will do.
He will keep tabs on his project
from the winter break, the line of
David Roberts, Ted Kramer and Cam
Stewart. In winning Michigan's
fourth straight Great Lakes Invita-
tional championship and sweeping
Ferris State, Roberts chipped in four
goals and six assists while Kramer
totaled four goals and a pair of as-
sists.
Also, after playing left winger
DennyFelsner on both his regular
line and with Mark Ouimet and Dan
Stiver against Ferris State, Berenson
will try Mike Helber to fill out

Ouimet's threesome.
"If he (Helber) can get that line
going for us, that's going to really
work out for us; we could have
three strong lines," Berenson said.
The reason the Wolverines will
be afforded the luxury of all this
tinkering is that the Irish, simply
put, don't quite strike fear into the
hearts of the Maize and Blue. The
Irish have won one of their last six,
a 6-4 victory over Lake Forest (Ill.).
While Berenson has had great
success with his experiments, Irish
coach Ric Schafer has had the hockey
equivalent of broken test tubes and
spilt hydrochloric acid on his pants.
The decline for Notre Dame be-
gan as early as its second game, when
it lost center David Bankoske for
the entire season with an arm injury.
Bankoske had led the Irish in scoring
for three seasons.
Furthermore, Schafer has only
recently welcomed back last year's
team MVP, Greg Louder, from a
broken hand.
"It's going to have to be our ab-
solute best effort of the year,"
Schafer said.
