Pvs. TENNIS NOTEBOOK Kass finally sits to heal ailing forearm by Adam Miller Daily Sports Writer It finally happened Friday. No. 1 singles player David Kass sat out a match to aid the healing of his forearm tendinitis. Luckily for Michigan, the Wolverines received a strong performance from Dan Brakus, who won while filling in for Kass at the top spot. Keyed by the substitute winner, Michigan came out on top, 5-4 over Purdue. The 5-4 victory was the third consecutive conquest by the identical score for Michigan (after Illinois and Northwestern). Both coaches and players said after the match that, while the victory was by the narrowest of margins, they'll take it. "It was tough," Mitch Rubenstein said, "but it was a good victory. And it's great because when we get Kass back, we'll be even better." "You add all these things together," coach Brian Eisner said, referring to Kass' injury and the injuries during the match to Eric Grand and John Lingon, "the 5-4 win over Purdue is just a tremendous win for us.". WHAT PRESSURE?: Rubenstein, and his partner Greg Artz played their No. 3 doubles match with the weight of the team riding on them. After six singles and two doubles matches, Michigan and Purdue were knotted at four. Not only did Rubenstein and Artz have to win for the team to be victorious, but they had to adjust to playing with each other, something they had never done before. Rubenstein said that the way they finished their match, with a 6-2 second set breeze, helped alleviate the strain of the situation. "(I felt pressure) until we broke serve in the second set (to give Rubenstein and Artz a 4-2 lead in the set). After that, I felt no pressure." IN DIXIELAND I'LL TAKE MY STAND: The Wolverines hee-haw down to Houston for three matches at Rice this weekend. They'll take on Rice, Tennessee, and Kansas in a tumultous Friday through Sunday stretch. AND THEN NO LIBERTY: When Michigan returns to Ann Arbor, their next match will be against another southern school, the ever-patriotic University of South Alabama, whose school cheer is "USA! USA!" However, the match will not be held at the familiar Liberty Sports Complex. Instead, the Wolverines will make a rare on-campus visit and play at the Track and Tennis Building at 2:30 p.m., March 26. 10. 11. 12. New Hampshire Alaska-Anchorage Clarkson 13. Providence 14.

It's crazy how it keeps coming back, much like a boomerang. You'd think that maybe every so often, good o1' mercredi , as they say in France (and other French-speaking nations), would take a break. Yet, each week, it pops up, right in there between Tuesday and Thursday. But I di- gress. Heck, not only do I digress, but I make little sense as well. With the end of the hockey sea- son nigh, I see fit, as a hockey wri- ter, to bring to you, the reader, some of the more trivial tidbits about your team and the wild and wacky Central Collegiate Hockey Association (lov- ingly referredto as the CCHA). Yesterday, seniors Ted Kramer and Mike Helber were honorable mention selections to the CCHA all- academic team. I'm a little confused how those folks down at the league office (it's on the corner of State and Hoover if you want to storm it with me) can pick players to a team by GPA, when the schools display a vast academic disparity. Michigan is obviously the finest school in the CCHA. Thus, does it not stand to reason that it is more difficult to earn good grades here than at a school such as Ohio State, perhaps? Last I heard, if you have an address and a pulse, then you're Ohio State material. And then there are juggernauts like Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Illinois-Chicago, Michigan State, Bowling Green, Western Michigan and Miami. Hey, wait, that's the entire conference. If the CCHA knew what was good for it, each and every member of the Wolverine squad would gain automatic admission on to the all- academic team. For a while, we hockey scribes have been debating the relative pon- tification skills of the members of the Maize and Blue. With that in mind, I put together Michigan's all- interview team: Captain, without doubt, is de- fenseman Doug Evans. The San Jose, Calif., native will never decline an opportunity to lend his opinion. In fact, he'll even create his own chances. I fondly remember a game this fall which he sat out with a hip poin- ter. As we were waiting for players to come out of the dressing room, E- vans approached us and asked, "Any questions for me?" Case closed. Mike Helber would be alternate captain. Helber is an unfailingly po- lite, well-spoken lad who is the epit- ome of accessibility. When a story on him was being written in November, Helber called me back because he wanted to add something. Come to think of it, so did his mother. Twice. Is it in the genes? I'd put more players on the team, but we'd never be able to leave the press conferences.
