Glenn crushes Lions abe Aidutadn r & ATHLETE OF THE WEEK DETROIT (AP) - Terry Glenn did more than enough by himself to beat the Detroit Lions . Glenn caught three first-half touchdowns, the first two in spec- tacular fashion, as the Dallas Cow- boys beat Detroit 38-7 and matched their win total from each of the pre- vious three seasons. Under new coach Bill Parcells, the Cowboys (5-1) have won five straight games for the first time since 1994 and are off to their best start since winning eight of nine in 1995. Dallas has won three road games this season, one more than the two previous years combined. The Cowboys, the only team to lose twice to Detroit the past two- plus seasons, beat the Lions for the first time since 1992. The Lions (1-5), under first-year coach Steve Mariucci, are not far- ing much better than they did the past two years with Marty Morn- hinweg, who was fired with a 5-27 record. Last year, the Lions won two of the first six games before finishing 3-13. Two decisions Parcells has made in his first season with the Cow- boys - acquiring Glenn and nam- ing Quincy Carter his starter - paid off again Sunday. Glenn caught six passes for 75 yards. Carter was 18-of-25 for 190 yards with a career-high three touchdowns and no interceptions. Detroit was fortunate to score. Dre' Bly scooped up Troy Ham- brick's fumble and returned it 67 yards to give the Lions a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Glenn's first three catches were touchdowns. Carter threw a sharp, 20-yard pass to Glenn, who managed to keep both feet in the back of the end zone late in the first quarter for a TD. He made a diving, 19-yard catch - despite pass interference by Bly - to put Dallas ahead 14-7 early in the second quarter. Glenn was wide open for his third touchdown, an 8-yard catch, on Dallas' next drive after a pass from Joey Harrington was inter- cepted by Dexter Coakley. Harrington's pass behind Bill Schroeder was intercepted by Mario Edwards and returned 27 yards for a score, giving Dallas a 28-7 lead late in the first half. Harrington was pulled after com- pleting just five of 13 passes for 30 yards with two interceptions. When Mike McMahon replaced Harrington late in the second quar- ter, he was welcomed by cheers. But McMahon finished 5-of-20 for 51 yards with an interception and a fumble. Who: Rebecca Walter Hometown: Beverly Hills, Mich.

The team swam to a split at the tri- meet on Friday, and finished second of four teams on Saturday. The Wolverines earned a second- place finish in the Florida Invitational on Saturday, beating Florida Atlantic University and Indian River Commu- nity College, but losing to the host 238-92. The Wolverines finished first in four of 10 events, with freshman Kaitlyn Brady winning her second event of the weekend in the 100-yard backstroke, senior Anne Weilbacher placing first in the 100-yard butterfly and the Michigan "A" relay teams taking top honors in the 200-yard Medley and Freestyle Relays. The Wolverines lost 133-93 to the Gators, but defeated FAU 178-59 in Friday night's tri-meet. Youth is often considered a drawback in athletics; however, the youth of this year's Michigan swimming and diving team proved an advantage in its first event of competition this season. Brady and classmate Susan Gilliam had strong debuts, as Brady earned the Wolver- ines' first victory with a time of 2:06.08 in the 200-yard backstroke and Gilliam won the 500-yard freestyle with an NCAA considera- tion time of 4:53.26. Senior Kelli Stein also had a great night, posting an NCAA consideration time of 16.29 in a first-place performance in the 200-yard breaststroke The Wolverines are coming off a 3- 3 season in which they finished 14th in the nation and are lead by captains Weilbacher and senior Sara Johnson. The squad returns three All-Ameri- cans: Weilbacher and Abby Seskevics in the 200-yard freestyle relay and junior Amy McCullough in the 200- yard freestyle. Also returning is Stein, the Big Ten 200-yard breaststroke champion. The Wolverines continue their sea- son tomorrow, taking on Toledo in a 7:30 p.m. dual meet in Toledo, Ohio. - Beth Adelson By Ryan Sosin Daily Sports Writer Six tables, 12 paddles, the occa- sional robot, a bucket of small orange balls and more than 50 members of one of Michigan's strongest club sports fill the corner of the Michigan Sports Coliseum four times a week. The table tennis club meets Mon- day through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., with many activi- ties that range S from competitions to round-robin tournaments, open matches and training sessions. The club's competition schedule has been vastly expanded this year thanks to its bid into the Michigan Collegiate Division. The docket now features matchups with Michi- gan State, Ohio State and Oakland University. For new players who are just starting out, the club holds round- robin tournaments every Monday and Wednesday. They are perfect for those seeking a challenge with- out jumping outside of the club walls. "They get pretty intense," club president Clement Chan said. "Everyone is very competitive." Aside from the competition-level players, most of the club's members play on an even level. The equal matchups often lead to exciting tournaments where players can flip- flop control of a match, taking it down to the wire. If your ping-pong ego is still too fragile for round-robin play, Tues- days and Thursdays are open-play nights. "The thing about table tennis is it's a sport and a game for every- one," Chan said. "It doesn't matter who you are, anyone can pick up a paddle and improve." The club really shines when it comes to turning basement all-stars into world-class table-tennis mas- ters. Thanks to a robot that can put wicked spin on a ball and personal lessons from Chan, players can reach a level of play they didn't know they could achieve. "There is all kinds of different training here," freshman Yaniv Zimet said. "Playing against better players is the training I like the best." Above all else, the atmosphere in the table tennis club is unsurpass- able. Every member is eager to help their fellow players improve, and you can't stand around for more than 30 seconds without being challenged to a match by six people. INDIVIDUALS TAKE CAKE: Eleventh place wasn't exactly where the Michigan water ski team expected to find itself after competition at the National Collegiate Water Ski Championships, but the team returned home with smiles on their faces. "It was a good weekend, we had a lot of fun," senior Brian Spin- neweber said. "Being at Nationals was just the icing on the cake." Senior Amanda Coleman took 19th place in the women's jumping portion of competition. Spinnewe- ber walked away with a finish of 18th in men's tricks. Louisiana-Lafayette took top honors, clinching its third NCWSA national title.
