Madison offers kickers
chance for league win
By David Mosse

The Michigan men's soccer team
fds to Madison in a bit of a funk.
Losers of two in a row and four of the
their last five games, the Wolverines are
thirsting for a win to get
their season back on To
track.

-ection. The Badgers Ten victory i
re lost three in a row young histor
and fallen near the bottom
of the Big Ten standings.
Michigan's latest defeat came at the
hands of intrastate rival Michigan State,
in gut-wrenching fashion. After taking
the lead in the first half with a Brian
Peters goal, the Wolverines surrendered
the lead in the second half and eventual-
lv lost the game in double-overtime.
The -result marked the second time
s season that Michigan has taken a
Big Ten rival to the brink, only to drop a
heartbreaker. Two weeks ago, the
Wolverines sulTered an overtime defeat
to Penn State.
Michigan followed up that effort in
disastrous fashion, by getting waxed, 7-
0 in Bloomington.
"You have to learn from your defeats,"
Michigan coach Steve Burns said. "After
every loss we talk about looking ahead
to the next game."
In addition to rebounding from the
loss to the Spartans, Michigan must also
reverse a

Wolverines have fared
well at tiny Elbel Field this
season but have not pro-
duced the same effort
away from home.
"When we get teams at
Elbel we can really frus-

out of their game," Burns
said. "But when we play

Wisconsin's McClimon soccer com-
plex is not quite the edifice Michigan
faced in Bloomington but it is much
larger than Elbel Field.
In addition to coping with the sur-
roundings, the Michigan defense will
also have its hands full with Wisconsin
forwards Dominic DaPra, and Narciso
Fernandez. The tandem has combined
.for 19 goals this season, and DaPra's I1
tallies are a conference best.
The task of slowing them down should
fall on the shoulders of Steve Huber and
Kevin Taylor, who have anchored the
Michigan defense all season.

owers on verge of
CAA rushing record
GROVE CITY, Pa (AP) - He's a
football player who once preferred base-
ball, a fullback with a tailback's mentali-
ty, a big man running up big yardage
acainst small schools.
R.J. Bowers, who needs 149 yards
tomorrow against Westminster to
become the leading rusher ever in col-
Oe football, seems to be as much a con-
tradiction as he is a cause for celebration
at tiny Grove City College.
He's a player with Division I-A talent
hidden among the non-scholarship per-
formers of Division Ill, a potential pro
who has built his reputation and resume
against those who don't get a dime of
financial aid to play.
In 1998, Bowers led the nation with
2.283 yards rushing and 34 rushing
ichdowns despite fracturing an ankle
is final game. Now he owns NCAA
all-division records with 32 consecutive
100-yard games, 84 rushing touchdowns
and is tied with 15 200-yard games.
He is coming uoffa 266-yard game in a
four-overtime, 32-28 victory over
Waynesburg. ie needs slightly more
than half that Saturdav to break Brian
Shay's record of 6.958 career rushing
yards at Division II Emporia State from
)5-98
Chelios 'oins Yzerman as
latest f en Red Wing
DETROIT (AP) - Red Wings
defenseman Chris Chelios will be the
second Detroit player to have knee
surgery this week.
Chelios is expected to have the arthro-
scopic procedure on his right knee
today, Red Wings spokesman John
1 hnsaid. He twisted it in the third peri-
SofTuesdav's 2-1 victory over St.
Louis.
Steve Yzerman had arthroscopic
surerv on his right knee Monday and
will be on crutches four weeks, Hahn
said. Hie worked out with the team yes-
terday.
Detroit called up defenseman Todd
Gill from Cincinnati on Wednesday and
have scratched Chelios from the lineup
ir flow.
"We have no estimate on how long he
will be out," Hahn said yesterday.
.Hopefully tomorrow well know." after
doctors determine the seriousness of the
injurv.
Chelios, 38, is in his 14th NHL sea-
son. He was traded to the Red Wings
from Chicago in March 1999. In his first
full season with Detroit, he scored three
goals and 31 assists.
