The Wolverines' streak comes on the heels of a tough weekend in the windy city. Against Northwestern, the squad only managed a split, its first two Big Ten losses of the season. Michigan entered this busy week 19th in the na- ion and third within the region. A strong performance this weekend agaist the Hoosiers may allow the Wolverines to regain the all important first place regional ranking that decides seeds in the NCAA tournament. Relays abound for Michigan men's sprinters by Tonya Broad Daily Sports Writer While students are busy worrying about tests and packing up their apart- ments or dorm rooms, some don't see an endin sightforatleastanothermonth. Among those is the men's track and field team, which returns to action to- day at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. The general consensus is that there will be no adverse affects on the times due to the week off from competing. Michigan track coach Jack Harvey knows it will help in the long run. The remaining meets will be very competi- tive inpreparationfor the Big Ten cham- pionship, which is the culmination of the season. The break will allow the team to gain its second wind and con- tinue its efforts. Harvey looks forward to honing the teams competition skills. 'We're looking forward to get back on track," Harvey said. "We're hungry and ready to go." Michigan pole vaulter Toby VanPelt also appreciates the momentary break from competition. "(Thebreak)willhelp," VanPeltsaid. "It gives guys a chance to rest. At this point in the year everyone is training hard. This break gives them a chance to relax and get their studies taken care of." Coach Harvey said he believes, de- spite the uncertain weather conditions, thatthe Kansas Relays shouldbe agood quality meet. However, it is only a preparatory meet for the highly com- petitive Penn Relays, which willbeheld next week. Harvey said he wants to polish his relay teams andprepare other individualrunners for the tougher meets ahead. Individuals such as Matt Smith and Matt Schroeder will run in the 3,000- meter steeplechase. Trinity Townsend and Todd Bumham will contribute in the 400-meter race. Harvey will have to depend on nu- merous freshman to pull through in the face of adversity in both individual and relay races. Along with Dan Reddan and Brian Smith, freshmanhigh jumperJonRoyce said he is confident and up for the challenge. "Having last weekend off should help," Royce said. "My legs aren't as tired and I've been jumping well in practice. "My steps are on; I had to shorten my approach from 11 to seven steps so I'm more consistent," he said. VanPelt said he has immense confi- dence in his younger cohorts. "'The team has a lot of really good freshmen to build on," VanPelt said. "They run against mature juniors and seniors and are right in there. Wait for them to mature and they'll be there." VanPelt will be needed to gain valu- able points. Jumping more consistently, VanPelt said he feels confident going into the meet. "I'm jumping better and better in practice," VanPelt said. "I'm looking to take astepahead, jumping mid- tohigh- 17 (feet)." The team has more to worry about then Kansas Relays this weekend. Penn Relays - one of the toughest meets of the year - is next week and Big Tens are soon to follow. The team's focus is on improving every week and doing well at the conference championship. You may wonder what they think about exam week? "I don'tget down on exams," Royce said. STigers win in ninth; Sparky notches 2,000th THE MICHIGAN DAILY 764-0552 Attention Subscribers!

Other major leaguers had this to say about Anderson's feat: "I'd have to manage 10 more years to match him, when you think about it. I've said it for years and years, he's the best." -- Oaldand manager Tony LaRussa. "I think being around for 1,000 wins is a great accomplishment, much .
