'M9 cracks
Buckeyes
in 4-1 win
by Mike Hill
Daily Sports Writer
Who sd~,s soccer isn't a contact
sport? A
Those who don't think so obvi-
ously were not in attendance for the
Michigan women's soccer club's
bruising affair Sunday afternoon
with Ohio State at Mitchell Field.
Trailipjg 4-1, the Buckeyes sur-
renderedV0 minutes into the second
half when one of their forwards went
down witlan injury. The Buckeye
~striker, sandwiched by two Michigan
players, sustained a back injury.
Afraid to move the athlete, offi-
cials halted play as paramedics came
to her aid. Players waited almost 20
minutes before Ohio State gathered
for a tearn meeting which led to the
decision to discontinue play.
"It was a scary situation," Michi-
gan defenseman Kim Chenet said.
"Ohio State decided that it would be
~best to stop the game. And I can't
really blame them. They were wor-
ried about he. and some of their girls
wanted to go with the ambulance to
the hospital."
The Hame, for all practical pur-
poses, was over anyway.
The Buckeyes drew first blood on
a rebound goal off of a fantastic save
from Michigan keeper Crissy Rice.
Ricse dovefar to her right to block an
Ohio State free kick. Rice's team-
mates seemed so awed by the spec-
tacular save that they forgot to de-
fend the rebound. However, the
Buckeyes rarely threatened again.
"I1 think we're
definitely on our way
to d the national
tournament) ys
everyone's very
focused."
- Kim Chenet
After struggling for most of the
opening half, Michigan struck back
with three unanswered goals before
intermission. Junior Carrie Taylor
got the Wolverines on the board
when she struck a perfectly-placed
,.Jenny Steinhebel corner kick off her
head and past the Buckeye goalie.
The Wolverines captured the lead
for gooibn another header, this time
from Lynda Hart on a similar pass
from Shannon Loper. Lisa Ashton's
left-footerput the Wolverines up, 3-
1, continuing her season-long offen-
sive dominaknce.
Sophomore Alicia Treadway
capped the scoring with the only
second-half goal, moments before
the game-ending injury.
The victory stretched the
Wolverines' undefeated streak to 13
games going into the season finale at
Eastern Isgchigan on Wednesday.
Consi ering Michigan's 4-0
thrashing of the Eagles in its home
opener Sept. 16, Wednesday's game
should be a nice tuneup for this
weekend's Midwest Soccer Chain-
pionships in Columbus. The Cham-
pionships will decide whether the
Wolveriges will return to nationals.
"I think we're definitely on our
way," Chenet said. "We've been
playing better lately. And I think ev-
eryone' s very focused."

Too few woes for Mo
by Matthew Rennie
Daily Football Writer
Michigan football coach Gary Moeller is
fighting a losing battle. He's trying really, re-
ally hard, but even he must know by now that
he's never going to win.
He's trying to convince the public that his
team isn't a lock to win its fifth consecutive
Big Ten title.
"There's a long way to go," he'll tell you.
"Anything could happen." And when he's re-
ally desperate, he'll resort to the old football
adage: "On any given Saturday ..."
However, at yesterday's weekly press gath-
ering, Moeller went over the edge.
When asked about the return of injured
cornerback Alfie Burch, Moeller began his
reply with this gem: "He'll be in a cast for four
weeks or so. We'll check the healing then, and
let him start walking on it. Hopefully, there's a
bowl game for us."
Everyone in the room tried to hide their
laughter.
Michigan hits the road the next two weeks
to take on Purdue and Northwestern, perennial
doormats of the league. The Wolverines then
return home to host Illinois, who managed to
lose to Northwestern over the weekend.
If Michigan wins all three, the Wolverines
will make a repeat trip to the Rose Bowl, re-
gardless of the outcome of their season finale
with Ohio State.
Still, despite Michigan's steamrolling of the
first half of the Big Ten schedule, Moeller did
have a rash of injuries, particularly in his the
defensive secondary, to warrant legitimate
concern.
Besides the injury to Burch, cornerback
Coleman Wallace suffered a pinched nerve in
his arm and is a "big question mark" for this
Saturday's clash with the Boilermakers,
Moeller said.
This leaves the Wolverines with Shonte
Peoples, who has suffered numerous minor
injuries all season long, Dwayne Ware and
freshman Ty Law as their only healthy corner-
backs who have seen significant playing time.
Moeller said Law and Ware will start Saturday.
Despite these injury problems in the sec-
ondary, Moeller did have good news to report
at outside linebacker, a position which had
been plagued by injuries earlier this season.
Moeller said he expected Martin Davis to be-
gin practicing again this week, and Greg Mc-
Thomas was supposed to begin running more
during practice.
"We've weathered the storm a little bit at
outside linebacker," Moeller said. "We put that
position together a little by moving Chris
Hutchinson back there. We're glad to have a
player who could do that."
NOTHING ON THIRD: The Michigan de-
fense has not allowed their opponents a third-
down conversion in the last two weeks.
Moeller said he is thrilled with this defensive
domination.
"We're a better coverage team this year
man-to-man," Moeller said. "The key is that
you've got to rush the quarterback. There's go-
ing to be guys open, but you've got to get to
the quarterback before he finds them."
SNAPPING SOUTHPAW: Starting center
Steve Everitt dislocated the thumb in his right
hand, which he uses to hike the ball. The
thumb will be in a cast this week, but Everitt is
expected to play, snapping left-handed.

Tamer finds his way into record book
by Brett Forrest
Daily Hockey Writer
Dave Schultz. Tiger Williams.
Bob Probert. These hallowed names
are both feared and revered across
two countries (except in Probert's
case - just one country). Aspiring
bullies venerate these men and prac-
tice their flattering mimicry on ele-
mentary school playgrounds and in
pee-wee ice rinks.
Michigan senior defenseman
Chris Tamer is a fine example of a
whipper-snapper who longed to wear
the skates of his pugilistic heroes.
Now, however, he has joined the
ranks of his heroes.
Friday at Ferris State, Tamer
broke the all-time Michigan mark
for penalty minutes, surpassing Alex
Roberts' record of 415. He currently
'Alex (Roberts)
established himself as
a tough guy on the ice
- that's what I wanted
to do.'
- Chris Tamer
'M' defenseman
has 422.
"It's reallya dubious honor," said
Tamer's cofch, Red Berenson.
"Many of the penalties early in his
career fell somewhere between fool-
ish and stupid. He has since learned
that he can be a good player without
sitting in the box."
The ideology which enabled
Tamer to amass numerous reserva-
tions at the Sin Bin Motel has an
aged derivation. Roberts was a se-
nior during Tamer's freshman sea-
son. In this way, Tamer had a chance
to learn from a legend.
"It dates back to the days of Alex
Roberts," said fellow defensman
Aaron Ward. "They were Larry,
Curly and Moe - with Moe being
Myles O'Connor (third on the all-
time list).
"He followed in Roberts' foot-
steps. During a game my first year, I
was trying to contain someone in
front of the net and a punch came
Hlying out of nowhere and hit the
guy in the head. It was Tamer."
Tamer, for one, is proud to reveal
the undying respect he held for
Roberts while but an underling on
the Wolverine squad.
"I really looked up to the older
guys that first year," Tamer said.
"Alex established himself as a tough
guy on the ice - that's what I
wanted to do."
This desire to construct a feared
name for himself among the players
in the CCHA has indirectly helped
Tamer to steal the overall mark from
his mentor. The officials have come
to learn the name of Chris Tamer
and perhaps look to give him more
penalties.
It is quite similar to the dilemma
Wayne Gretzky faced during his
playing days in Edmonton. The offi-
cial scorers there were known to
have given "The Great One" phan-
tom assists on goals because he had
a reputation for accruing them on a
regular basis.
"They definitely view me differ-
ently," Tamer said. "They all know
who I am and I know a lot of them."
"(CCHA official Steve) Pi-
otrowski is always yipping at him,"
Ward confided. "They have conver-
sations on the ice. He's the Probert
of the CCHA and the refs know it."

Women's rowers stroke
new Vespoli to victory
by Seth King
Daily Sports Writer
Over 200 years ago, George
Washington crossed the Delaware
River from Pennsylvania into New
Jersey and surprised the British
troops in a key turning point of the
Revolutionary War.
Near that same site Saturday at
the Head of the Schuylkill Invita-
tional in Philadelphia, the Michigan
women's crew team surprised 20 ri-
val rowing squads and came away
with a first-place finish in the wom-
en's heavyweight eight-man race.
Junior rower Andrea Level said
the squad was pleased with this vic-
tory as well as the consequences.
"I think the open [eight-man]
women's team did especially well,"
Level said. "We proved to ourselves
that we could compete, since we
beat all of our league competitors
except one. This bodes well for the
spring; it shows we're in good
shape. It was a great race for them,
and a great way to start the career of
our new Vespoli."
The new boat will help the
Wolverines remain competitive with
the nation's top crews and replaces
an inferior boat.
"We had a chance this weekend
because we had comparable equip-
ment," Level said. "The boat you're
racing can make seconds of differ-
ence. Our old boat was Princeton's
old one from several years ago."
Also at the Head of the Schuyl-
kill, the women's lightweight eight-
man squads finished fifth and 11th in
a 15-boat field. The Wolverines'
second boat was only one second
behind rival Notre Dame's first. In
addition, the men's heavyweight
eight-man placed fourth out of 24
crews, while the men's lightweight
eight-man took 27th out of 42 teams.
Sunday, at the Princeton Chase,
the men's heavyweight eight-man
squad rowed to a 10th-place finish
among 24 teams, five seconds be-
hind ninth-place Virginia's first
boat. The women's heavyweight
eight-man came in 13th out of 26
boats, only six seconds behind the
Cavaliers.
"We raced against a more com-
petitive group of teams on Sunday,"
Level said.
