Men's Basketball vs. Wisconsin Tonight, 8 p.m. Crisler Arena SPORTS Women's Gymnastics Valentine Invitational Friday, 7 p.m. Cliff Keen Arena 'M' cagers' wait for a 'W' could end tonight Badgers want to avoid repeat of board blowout by Jaeson Rosenfeld Daily Basketball Writer The last time either Michigan or Michigan State won a women's basket- ball game Lyndon Johnson was in of- fice, Vietnam protesters burned Ameri- can flags and Santana was still groovy. Well, actually it hasn't been quite that long, but the two teams probably feel as if it has. The Wolverines (0-9 Big Ten, 1-17 overall) enter tonight's contest mired in an 11-gamelosing streak while the Spar- tans (2-6, 6-11) sport a 6-game exodus from the winner's circle. Realizing that one of the two teams will "change it's evil ways," Michigan coach Trish Rob- erts said she hopes her team will start the second halfof Big Ten play on a high note. 'We know that we should have beat Michigan State," Roberts said of the Jan.13 matchup at Crisler. "I think that (our players) are going to go out there and play with a little more pride know- ing that Michigan State beat them on their own court." If the Wolverines are to emerge vic- torious, they must improve upon their recentrebounding performances.Michi- gan is ranked in the bottom half of the Big Ten in all three rebounding catego- Cha'ionship S!

In addition, the Spartans out-re- bounded Michigan in Ann Arbor, 40- 35, aperformance Roberts would rather not see repeated. "One key area I think we need to rectify is last game they out-rebounded us by quite a lot," Roberts said. "I think if that's an area we can rectify that it will make a big difference in the game." Fatigue is another area of concern for the injury-riddled Wolverines, as tiring of their thin bench has led to poor play in the closing minutes of recent games. The Spartans are no stranger to this problem - like the Wolverines, injury has forced them to compete with only seven players. However, Roberts said she has a new strategy for alleviating late-game lethargy that she hopes will prove fruitful against Michigan State. 'Wehaven'tbeenplaying Val Turner and Sherell Stanley very much," Rob- erts said. "We have decided that we are going to play them in spots, just so that we can relieve some of the other kids and give them some playing time." After tonight, Michigan returns home to host Wisconsin Friday night. by Adam Miller Daily Basketball Writer Don't laugh. Though the Big Ten season is past the halfway point, the Wisconsin men's basketball team (5-3 Big Ten, 12-5 overall) only trails Michi- gan (7-2, 18-3) by one game in the loss column. On the other hand, don't make too much of this, either. Thenotion thatNo. 1 Indiana and the No.4 Wolverines are the Big Two this year still holds weight - especially to the Badgers, who come to Crisler Arena tonight for an 8 p.m. game with Michigan. 'We tell our guys all the time that, other than when we play them, we want Michigan and Indiana to win every game in the Big Ten because those two teams are going to the Tournament al- ready," Wisconsin assistant Stan Van Gundy said. "We're just trying to keep our heads above water, so every time they beat a Purdue or a Minnesota or a Michigan State, itreally helps our cause. "But we're not even thinking about making a run at the Wolverines - believe me." The best reason to believe Van Gundy comes from the clubs' earlier meeting this season, a 98-73 Michigan runaway at the Wisconsin Field House Jan. 9. Though BadgerpointguardTracy Webster lit up the Wolverine defense for 25 points, Wisconsin had no answer to Michigan's inside game. Juwan Howard grabbed 20 rebounds - only five less than the entire Wisconsin team - and Chris Webber's 20 points led four Wolverines in double-figures. Van Gundy said the Wolverines have "three of the best big people in the country" in Howard, Webber and Eric Riley. "What we'll try to do - and I emphasize try to do - is keep them off the boards," Van Gundy said. "That's something that I think is very, very difficult to do. But if you're going to have any chance in beating them, you've got to be able to hold your own on the boards." Last time, Wisconsin might as well have been the little kid trying to fit in with his big brother's playground game of "21" in rebound-gathering. Michi- gan out-glassed Wisconsin by 32, 57- 25. As much as Van Gundy praised Michigan's frontline, Wolverine coach Steve Fisher lauded the Badger tandem of Webster and swingman Michael Finley. 'Tracy Webster is as quick and as intelligent and as efficient a point guard as there is in the laague," Fisher said. "And Michael Finley ... is an absolute sensational player who is getting better and better as the season wears on. And maybe as much as anything, Wisconsin's increased improvement can be traced to how Finley has improved." Finley averages 21.3 points-per- game, and he and Webster account for 46.6% of Wisconsin's average offen- sive output. Tonight's lineups feature a few changes from lasttime. Wisconsin guard Andy Kilbride received a one-game suspension for fighting in the Badger's last game, a 102-87 victory over North- western, and will miss tonight's game. Junior Jason Johnsen replaces him in the starting lineup. On the Michigan end, forward Ray Jackson turned an ankle against Purdue and is listed as probable. James Voskuil, who satout Sunday's game with a hip injury, is expected to play in tonight's contest. Which, depending on who you talk to, could be a laugher. Or, on second thought ... Maybe not. 0 Eric Riley blocks-out Purdue's Glenn Robinson last Sunday. Psi U charity hockey rated a success by Tyler Rheem While most of us relished the "January thaw" that moved into Ann Arbor over the weekend, the organizers of the First Annual Psi Upsilon/Delta Delta Delta Hockey Tournament of Champions worried. The unseasonably warmweathermade preparation of Psi U's outdoor ice surface tricky. By Saturday afternoon, how- ever, mothernature had complied with Psi U's wishes and the hockey tournament was underway. Twelve three-man teams of fraternity members, intramu- ral teammates and other combinations of hockey players comprised the competition. Some came from as far away as Toledo. Over $700 was collected through a $40 entry fee required from each team. All of the money will be donated to the Mott's Children Hospital. 'We've had the rink here for some fifty or sixty years," sophomore tournament co-director Ed Wolkind said, "and we figured its use would be a great idea for charity." The concept of the charity hockey game originated a few years ago. It never became a reality due to reservations surrounding injury and possible legal liability, given the dangerous nature of hockey. 'We had all of the players sign a waiver before compet- ing,"junior tournament co-director Aaron Kanter said, "and the games followed rather strict rules such as no checking, slapshots or pads." The tournament concluded Monday evening with the championship game pitting Gable against Mofeck. Gable, headed by Psi U member Jon Gable, along with Chris Newton, Cort and Jeff Assenacher, won a hard-fought game, 12-10. However, as with all first time events, there were some minor glitches. "Some things didn't go so smooth, but we learned from it," Kanter commented. "The ice has held up very well and that was the major concern. Hopefully, next year the tourna- ment will have more teams, and better weather, making it bigger and better." Of course, the main beneficiaries of the event are the children and staffatMott's Hospital. Usually, hockey is a sport that gives to hospitals by creating patients. This time, the effort of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity, the Delta Delta Delta Sorority and all of the competing hockey players will aid the work at Mott' s. -".I I INSTRUCTORS Summer Employment Outstanding 8-week girls' camp in Maine needs female and male counselors in the following activities: " Tennis " Horseback Riding " Fine Arts " Swirrning Gymnastics Newsletter " Waterski Dance Basketball "_Sailing " Silver Jewelry " Field Hockey " Canoeing Pottery Softball " Kayaking Photography Soccer " Ropes/Rock Climbing " Arts & Crafts " Lacrosse " Outdoor Living " Copper Enameling " Archery " Windsurfing Video e Volleyball Red Cross Lifeguard Certification (LG) or equivalent required for all waterfront positions.
