SUGIURA
M' netters send Huskies back to the
Zontinued from page 3
games. But then they could schedule their classes to avoid having too many,
:f any, Friday classes. The way it is now, with games Tuesday, Wednesday
md Thursday nights, missing class is unavoidable.
The bonuses don't end here. If you keep them together and play more
ioubleheaders on Sundays, schools can fly both teams on the same charter
And cut their travel spending in half, a big plus in these days of- cost
.Ontainment.
This schedule would prepare teams for the NCAA tournament, with one
lay to prepare for an opponent, like the tournament. The men would get used
o uncertain tip-off times with games being played before them, just like the
ournament..
And you, Commissioner, would come out of this smelling like a rose. The
nedia would love you, praising your commitment to academics. Michigan
:ans might even forgive the fact that you played basketball for North
2arolina.
There would be problems, of course. The folks at ESPN wouldn't be too
nappy. But I've seen their Friday night programming more times than I'd like
o admit, and it isn't too good.
If you offered them Indiana vs. Michigan, they'd jump at the chance. And
aere's another great idea. You could make women's basketball part of the
aackage.
.Also; the 'five schools that also' have hockey teams might have some
problems. But I'm sure you could hire someone to make sure the scheduling
;ever conflicted.
There are probably other snags that I haven't thought of, but they can't
outweigh the bonuses you have here, Commissioner. Think it over. I'll be
waiting for an answer.

There is always a little more pres-
sure when one competes against a
friend, which is exactly what the
Michigan men's tennis team did- on
Saturday.
The, Wolverines (2-2) defeated
Northern Illinois, 6-1, a team whose
head coach, Tim Madden, was
Michigan's assistant coach last year..
"He knows a lot:of our players,
and they know him," said Michigan
coach Brian Eisner of Madden. "A lot
of our players were tight and nervous.
They, were trying to show him what
they could do."
Senior Dan Brakus agreed.
"For the older guys like myself,
Adam (Wager) and Grady (Burnett),
it was a factor," he said. "He was an
assistant here, and he was really close
In spite of their nerves, the Wolver
ines managed to win all of their doubles
matches, and fiveofsixsingles matches.
However, Eisner felt the match
wasn't his team's best performance
of the year.
"ven thoghwe won -6-1,which
is a pretty ecisive score, I didn't feel
dog pound
that we played that well," Eisner said'.
"We were a little nervous, some of r
our matches were closer than tiey
should have been," sophomore Petel
Pusztai said. "We have a lot ofim--
proving to do."
. Brakusled the. Wolverines atNo. I
singles, defeating Marty.Engel,6-7.(4r
7), 6-3, 6-3. He also teamed up wita
sophomore John Costazo at No. -
doubles to defeat Engel and Sunu Th-
mas, 8-4.
"I'm playing at about 50 or 60
percent of my game," Brakus said. "I
have to keep working so I'm ready
when Big Tens come around."
At. No. 2 douIbles, the team of
Pusztai and Burnett defeated North-
ern Illinois' Matt Green and Andy
Schoeberlein, 8-3.
The combination of Wager and
Mike Nold completed the doubles
Although unhappy with much of
his team's play, Eisner was pleased
with Costanzo's return to singles
action.
Costanzo had been used exclur
sively as a doubles player through-
out- theealy sai ofseasrn due
to uagging neck'and4shoulder, inju-

WHY: At Saturday's Michigan Relays the team of Karfonta, Townsend, MacDorild, and Sullivan set a new
world record in the Distance Medley Relay with a time' of 9,33.72. The squad broke the mark of 9:35.6',
set by Arkansas in 1985.°
BACKGROUND: Sullivan and MacDonald were each named cross country Big Ten freshman of the year in
their rookie seasons, and MacDonald won the honor in last season's indoor campaign with a conference
title in the mile run. Townsend placed 6th in the 600 meter dash during last year's Big'Ten Indoor
Championships, while Karfonta has been a consistent contributor to the success of the relay teams.
Costanzo, who would normallye
be competing higher in the lineopp
defeated Corey Westphal, 6-0, 6-2, a
the No. 5 singles position.
Burnett, Wager and Chris Wyt4
won their singles matches at No. 3,4
and 6 respectively.
The only loss Michigan sufferedall
day was atNo.2 singles where Pusztai
fell to Thonas, 6-3, 6-4.T
"Pete's last match, against Michi*
gan State's Richard Watson, was one
of the best performances of any of our
players," Eisner said. "He knowsthat if
he plays well, he won't lose like he
did." -
Overall, Brakus sees that there is
room for improvement.
"We played good, but not great,"
Brakus said. "We were good enough
tobeat Northern Illinois but wegJ
have to improve before the Big Ten
season."
