Forget about hotel rooms. The'
women's soccer team might as well
pitch tents and sleep on the soccer
fields at Champaign this weekend.
"Four games in 30 hours, that's a
tall order," Michigan coach Linda
Hamilton said.
A tall order? Certainly. A test of
endurance? Definitely. But, accord-
ing to Hamilton, no problem for these

the country," Hamilton added.
The soccer extravaganza begins
tomorrow, as the Wolverines (7-1)
play Purdue and Indiana. They are
then thrust into battle with Illinois and
Western Illinois Sunday.
All three of Michigan's opponents
are club teams, but only two of them
pose special significance for this year's
seniors.
h-ampionships, 1-u, and we are still
very bitter about that loss," captain
Carrie Taylor said. "So we are going
to come out full of vigor and energy."
"You wouldn't think of Michigan
vs. Illinois as a rivalry, but we are
pretty big rivals," Senior Lisa Ashton
said. "The games have always been
close, tough, and competitive."
When the wars have finally ceased,
the women's soccer team will have a

teams for the Big Ten club champion-
ship.
"This weekend will teach us a lot
about our team," Taylor said. "It will
give us an indication of where we are
at and what we need to work on."
For the moment, Hamilton sees
some areas that she would like to see
the team improve upon.
"There are times where I would
wuome game, instead of turning it up a
notch for only twenty minutes," she
said. "We seem to get a little bit lax,
giving up too many goals instead of
maintaining the lead.
"We have been scoring a lot, but I
wish we could score more off of our
corner kicks. We have come close so
many times, but is seems that we just
can't convert when we have those
opportunities."

grinds to halt
after injury in
right elbow
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -
Nolan Ryan's glorious career ended
abruptly Wednesday night in Seattle,
when a ligament in his right elbow
"popped like a rubber band."
Ryan met with Rangers team or-
thopedist Dr. John Conway in Arling-
ton Thursday, but his elbow was so
sore and swollen that Conway de-
cided to examine him Tuesday.
Conway said discussions with
Ryan and Seattle team physician Dr.
Larry Pedegana indicated Ryan has
"a history and exam compatible with
a torn ulnar collateral ligament" and
confirmed that Ryan won't pitch
again.
Age finally caught up to the 46-
year old Ryan and his body broke
down. He missed 22 days after sur-
gery on the left knee, 72 days because
of a strained hip muscle and 21 days
because of a strained ribcage muscle.
"The whole year's been frustrat-
ing," he said after Texas lost to the
Mariners 7-4 Wednesday night. "It's
been a real struggle all year physi-
cally."
