Madison offers kickers chance for league win By David Mosse D)ily Sports Writer 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.

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 DAY N COMPLEX ,an (4.6. 0-3) ,n (T-6, 1-2) n. Wolverines are Teir first Big n the team's y. disturbing trend. The 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- trate them and take them out of their game," Burns said.

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. AAIA 1OPTh. It's all Greek to us.

I _ 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.
