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. By RYAN WHITE DAILY SPORTS WRITER 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- ries, Sincerely, Chris'Wyatt' serv'es against ,otNehV,1 lin~f 'I i~ g~rt -1°°vi r dtp.- ml.

U WHO: Nick Karfonta; Scott MacDonald; Kevin Sullivan; Trinity Townsend TEAM: Men's Indoor Track HOMETOWNs: Pinckney; Nepean, Onti; Brantford, Ont.; Muskegon Heights YEARS: Junior; Sophomore; Freshman;.,Sophomore. EuGIBlIITY: Junior; Sophomore; Freshman; Sophomore 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."
