NOTES
April Phillips breaks record in hammer throw
- ditddb)ip thAlmner an Ni v ikra
Money main concern
for ultimate frisbee
The Duke Invitational this past
weekend in Durham, N. C. brought
some record-breaking results. The
Michigan women's track team was
on site at Wallace Wade Stadium to
see how it measured up against
South Carolina - the defending
NCAA champions - and 77 other
teams.
"Overall, it was a good meet with
the exception of three or four ath-
letes who had outstanding perfor-
mances," Michigan coach James
Henry said.
In field events, sophomore April
Phillips broke the school record in
the hammer throw with 182 feet,
six inches. Trying to make a quali-
fying mark in the discus, freshman
Melissa Bicket's throw was only
six inches away from NCAA quali-
fication.
Taking a huge victory in distance
events was senior Katie Jazwinski.
Competing in the 1500-meter run,
she provisionally qualified for
NCAAs with a time of 4:20:22.
Senior Lisa Ouellet also ran in the
same event and ran her second-
fastest career time.
"For me, to be at this point so
early into outdoor season is pretty
good," Ouellet, said.

GRAND SLAM

call-this remarkable feat. Purists argue
that a Grand Slam is accomplished in a
calendar year. Woods, emotionally
drained after a relentless battle from
start to finish, stayed out of the argu-
ment.
"I won four," he said with a coy
smile.
Locked in a thrilling battle with his
- two chief rivals, Woods hit a daring
approach from 149 yards into the per-
ilous 1 Ith hole. The ball grazed the cup
for a tap-in birdie, giving Woods a lead
that he never let go.
Duval, believing this might be his
year after three close calls, made it
through Amen Corner without a mis-
take but took bogey on the par-3 16th,
firing his tee shot over the green and
missing an 8-foot putt for par.

Bulls' Crawford might
get chance to return
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Jamal
Crawford is a rookie with the Chicago
Bulls and making a lot of money.
But Crawford still wishes he was
playing basketball at Michigan.
"I miss college a lot," he said. "I live
in a college area now because I like to
be around college kids."
Crawford felt trapped last year when
he decided to leave Michigan following
his freshman season.
He already had served an eight-game
suspension for one mistake - sending
the NBA a letter that said he intended to
enter the 1999 draft before he enrolled
in college. He had missed six other
games and was ordered to repay
$15,000 in benefits to a Seattle busi-
nessman, whom he had lived with for
three years during high school.
The NCAA later said he could give
S11,300 to the charity of his choice. If
he didn't pay, Crawford would lose his
eligibility.
Today, the NCAA Management
Council will consider a proposal that
would give players, like Crawford, an
opportunity to continue their college
careers without penalty.
"It's new territory," Charles Harris,
chairman of the Management Council,
said. "I think it is something we'd like
to fix. It's not whether kids should get
paid, but whether the rules should be
more flexible and more responsive and
that's always the desire."
The changes would be sweeping and
controversial.
If approved, high-school athletes
could accept prize money, sign con-
tracts, compete with professionals and
earn money following graduation, even
enter the draft - and keep their eligibil-
ity.
It also would allow college athletes to
obtain bank loans based on future earn-
ings.
He had two chances to catch Woods,
but looked on in shock as birdie putts
from 12 feet on the 17th and 5 feet on
the final hole failed to fall.
Mickelson, poised to claim his first
major, also missed an 8-foot par putt on
the 16th hole. He also failed to cash in
on birdie putts on the final two holes.
Woods never faltered.
His lead remained at one stroke when
he missed a 3-foot birdie putt on the
15th, but he traded spectacular golf for
solid play with history on the line and
delivered, as he has done from the time
he turned pro five short years ago.
"I've succeeded in what I wanted to
accomplish," Woods said as he sat in
Butler's cabin waiting for last year's
winner, Vijay Singh, to help him put on
another green jacket.
"I don't feel ecstatic yet. It hasn't
sunk in."He later took a congratulatory
call from President Bush.
Harris said today's environment has
forced the NCAA into this position.
"The absoluteness has changed," he
said. "So we need, to the extent we can,
not to be punitive against people who
are doing the normal things in their
life."
Crawford's case is one example.
After discovering the letter, the
NCAA first ruled Crawford forfeited his
college eligibility, even though he wrote
a second letter six days later withdraw-
ing his name. Current NCAA rules
allow college athletes a one-time excep-
tion for players who put their name on
the NBA draft list to retain their eligibil-
ity if they aren't drafted. That does not
apply to high-school players - yet.
Michigan appealed, and the NCAA
reduced Crawford's penalty to an eight-
game suspension.
But even if the changes are approved,
they wouldn't take effect immediately.
Arizona's Jefferson
to enter NBA draft
TUCSON (AP) - Forward Richard
Jefferson, a key to Arizona's drive to
the national championship game,
decided to skip his senior season and
enter the NBA draft.
Jefferson averaged 11.3 points, 5.4
rebounds and 2.7 assists in 35 games
as the Wildcats reached the NCAA
final before losing 82-72 to Duke.
He shot 47.9 percent from the floor
and 34.4 percent from three-point
range.
Martinez K's 16 in_
win over Devil Rays
BOSTON (AP) - The Tampa Bay
Devil Rays couldn't do anything to
Pedro Martinez, and neither could the
weather.
Fighting 42-degree temperatures and
intermittent rain, Martinez struck out 16
in eight innings to lead the Boston Red
Sox to a 3-0 victory over Tampa Bay
for his first win of the season.
"You just have to understand what's
happening to your body," said Martinez
(1-0), who his first six outs on strikeouts
and brought a no-hitter into the sixth.
"It's different. But the cold weather is
affecting the hitters, too."

Tennis club alms to
ha ve fun in te 5sun
By Elizabeth Edelstein
For the Daily
The theme of this year's Tennis Club
is to combine the best of competition
and fun. Started by seniors Sharon
Reske and Ryan Wisweeser, this is only
the second year for the team. Until
now, the only option had been a non-
competitive club team or the varsity
level.
Things have changed.
The club team now practices twice a
week and competes against other
schools. Their practices are held year
round, Monday and Thursday from
nine to 11 p.m. Players have to pay to
use court-space at the Varsity Tennis
Center. Practices are about five dollars
a night. On top of that, home games
cost from 15-20 dollars each, and away
games are around 60-100 dollars each.
So far the team has played against
Harvard, Michigan State, Ferris State
and Miami of Ohio. One more game is
scheduled for this season against Miami
(Ohio), which is away on April 7.
While the team is becoming more
competitive, the goal is also to have fun
and accommodate academic needs.
Reske said that the team has a "social
focus" and gives people the opportunity
to play tennis and meet people at the
same time.
"People are out there tq have a good
time," Reske said.
The team consists of 60 people -45
of these are active members of the*
team. Among the players, senior Anne
Williams is the top female and the top
male is sophomore Nnamudi Amobi.
If it had not been for Reskes initia-
tive, these people never wouldn't have
had this opportunity to play tennis and
make friends because the club would
have never started. A lot of organization
was needed to get it going, and mem-
bers of the club hope to continue on and
only get better as the years go on.
