January 26 Michigan at Ferris State Western Michigan at Michigan State (PASS-Tape to Sun., 7:30 p.m.) Lake Superior at Miami Bowling Green at UIC, 7 p.m. by Josh Dubow Daily Sports Writer The Michigan wrestling team will field a full lineup for the first time in five dual meets as it visits East Lansing tonight. With the return of Mike Mihalic (126 pounds), coach Dale Bahr's squad should be ready for its intrastate rival Michigan State. Michigan (7-3 overall, 2-1 Big Ten) concludes its seven meet road trip in tonight's dual meet against Michigan State (2-2, 1-1), The Wolverines hold a six-meet win- ning streak over the Spartans heading into tonight's match. Michigan State is led by Soo Thackthay (118), Roy Hall (158), Brian Woods (167) and Emilio Collins (177). Thackthay, Hall, and Collins present difficult matchups for Michigan stalwarts Salem Yaffai, Sean Bormet, and Lanny Green respectively. As usual, Bahr looks at the 118 matchup as the key for the Wolverines. "Soo will be a really good match for Salem," Bahr said. "Salem beat him early in the year in a close match, and he is wrestling his best right now. There will be less pressure on Salem with Mihalic in the lineup, so hopefully, he will be looser and start us out with a win." The best match of the meet should come at 158 pounds. First- year wrestler Bormet and redshirt sophomore Hall have met three times in open competition earlier this season. The more experienced Hall won all of them in tight matches. "Sean has lost a lot of close matches to Roy so far," Bahr said. "It seems as if Roy has his number, and Sean is looking to turn that around." Bahr has been especially impressed with captain Fritz Lehrke (190) of late. Lehrke has come to the forefront for the Wolverines in his senior season, compiling a 9-0-1 record over his last 10 matches, and looked especially sharp over the weekend. "Fritz has really been a great leader for us this month," Bahr said. "When he goes out there, the other kids are really confident he will win his match and he has not let them down lately." Green had a tough weekend for Michigan, losing two one-point matches, but Bahr does not think there is cause for concern. "Even though Lanny lost twice this weekend, he wrestled really hard and well," Bahr said. "When you wrestle hard like Lanny does, good things will come to you." Bahr expects victories from Joey Gilbert (134), James Rawls (142), and Phil Tomek (HWT), but realizes Bill Mercer will have an extremely tough time with Woods at 167. The Wolverines return home this weekend to face Iowa State Friday and Northwestern Saturday. All games begin at 7:30 local time, unless noted.

Gymnasts to put on 'halftime spectacular WRESTLING NOTEBOOK Keen tournament comes to Michigan ;r by Josh Dubow Daily Sports Writer Oy Je% ameron and R.C. Heaton Daily Sports Writer Wolverine basketball fans should stock up on their hot dogs and popcorn before tipoff of tomorrow night's Michigan-Indiana clash at Crisler Arena, because they probably 'Won't want to leave their seats at halftime. The Michigan women's gymnastics team will be providing the entertainment during the inter- mission with a unique demonstration of its own athletic ability. The Wolverines will use a mini- trampoline to execute some flips and tumbles, as they hope to provide an interesting diversion for the crowd as well ashattract attention to their sport. The women plan to heat up the crowd as they perform to Gonna Make You Sweat by CC Music Factory. "We hope to get the crowd into it," Michigan gymnastics coach Beverly Fry said. "It will be nice to get some exposure for the girls. They're looking forward to it." The Wolverines will be com- peting Friday evening at Bowling Green against the Falcons and Sunday afternoon at Keen Arena at 2 p.m. in a co-ed meet against defend- ing Big Ten champion Illinois. The Cliff Keen National Team Duals are scheduled to move from Hampton, 'Va. to Ann Arbor within the next two years. The tournament consists of a 16 team double-elimination format com- posed of thirteen top Division I schools. A committee selects the teams following the NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA championships. This format will change. Only Division I schools will participate as the lower division teams are not able to compete on the same level as the top Division I teams. The Virginia National Team Duals committee has already approved the move to Ann Arbor for next year, but the Michigan Athletic Department is looking at 'Snowboarders plow onto Ann Arbor scene the feasibility of the sudden move. The date has been set aside, and the only major holdup is financial commitments. Michigan coach Dale Bahr hopes the final details can be worked out soon. "The Cliff Keen Tournament has to be in Ann Arbor," Bahr said. "Cliff is a legend in this town. Hopefully everything can be worked out and the tournament will be here by next year. I know that the Keen family is in favor of the move and have been instrumental in the committee's decision." Keen coached the Wolverines for 42 years, compiling a .740 winning percentage and winning 10 Big Ten Championships. WOLVERINES IN THE OLYMPICS: Three Michigan as- sistant coaches are bidding for berths in the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. Kirk Trost is the number one ranked American at 220 pounds, John Fisher is number two at 134.5, and Joe Pantaleo is number three at 163. It is likely that Trost will become the first Wolverine wrestler in the Olympics since Steve Fraser won the gold medal in 1984. Fisher's olympic chances appear slim because he is ranked behind John Smith, who is recognized as one of the greatest wrestlers ever. Pantaleo should also face a struggle to qualify for the Games as he has suffered injuries to his shoulder and knee over the past year. Also, assistant coach Joe Wells is one of the four finalists for the Olympic coaching positions. Wells was one of the assistants in the 1988 Olympics and has coached various national teams. DISABLED LIST: First-year wrestler Mike Mihalic is scheduled to return to the mats tomorrow night against Michigan State. Mihalic injured his ankle at the National Team Duals one week ago and has missed the last five dual meets for Michigan. Mihalic practiced Monday night, and Bahr was pleased with the condition of Mihalic's ankle. With Jason Cluff academically in- eligible, the Wolverines have for- feited the 126 pound weight class in the past five meets. This proved especially costly in close losses to Northern Iowa and Purdue. RANKINGS: The Michigan team, along with four of its wrestlers, has earned national recognition in the Amateur Wrest- ling News. In the latest poll, the Wolverines were ranked ninth in the nation and third in the Big Ten, trailing only Iowa and Ohio State. Joey Gilbert (134), Sean Bormet (158), Lanny Green (177), and Phil Tomek (HWT) received individual honors. Gilbert and Bormet are ranked eighth, Green tenth, and Tomek number twelve nationally in their respective weight classes. Fritz Lehrke (190) should move into the rankings inr this week's poll, scheduled to be released Friday. STREAKS: Before Michigan's loss to Purdue Sunday, the Wolv- erines had defeated the Boilermak- ers in 18 out of the previous 19 dual meets. Also against Purdue, frosh Bormet lost the first collegiate dual meet of his career to All- American Dave Walter, after winning his first eight. The Wolverines started a new streak against Indiana last Thurs- day as they avenged last year's defeat, which had snapped a 25- meet winning streak for Michigan. from Staff Reports Winter is half gone, and the University of Michigan Snow- boarding Club is gunning down the s4opes.
