Page 8- The Michigan Daily - Sports Monday - March 4, 1991 Kansas 'wins' Big Eight crown LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Tony Farmer scored 18 points, and Ne- braska took advantage of eight consecutive missed free throws by Kansas late in the game for an 85- 75 victory. Nebraska (24-6, 9-5) finished third in the Big Eight, while Kansas (21-6, 10-4) fell into a tie for the title with Oklahoma State. After trailing by 9 at halftime, Kansas cut the Nebraska lead to 47-45 with 15:19, remaining. Kansas kept it close until going cold from the free throw line. Kansas missed eight straight free throws in five-minute stretch, while during the same stretch, Nebraska hit 7 of 8 from the line to take a 77-71 lead. Texas stuns No. 3 Arkansas, 99-86 AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Ben- ford Williams scored 22 points, and Joey Wright and Locksley Collie each added 19 Sunday as Texas defeated No. 3 Arkansas in a disappointing finale for the Ra- zorbacks as they leave the South- west Conference. Texas fans chanted "SEC, SEC" with 1:44 to play as Texas (20-7) built its lead to 14 over Arkansas (28-3), which moves next season to the Southeastern Conference. Arkansas, which already has clinched its third straight league championship, was shooting for a 16-0 conference finish. Texas (13-3 in the SWC) gained its third consecutive 20-win season, which is a school record. Arkansas' lead grew to 14 at 61-47 with 17:39 to go, but Texas went ahead to stay, 73-72, at the 9:46 mark. WRESTLING Continued from page 1 were calling pins for Iowa a lot quicker than that, but the kid is a national champion and they gave him the benefit of the doubt." Brands and Iowa assistant coach Barry Davis were evasive to questions about the pin. "I won the match," Brands said. "I don't know if I was pinned, but Joey has improved a lot from last year. ., Davis added: "If the ref didn't call it a pin, it wasn't a pin." Brands took control of the match after that and went on for a 24-14 victory, but not before tem- pers flared. Brands roughed Gilbert out of bounds after the whistle on two occasions without receiving a penalty. After another skirmish near the boundary, Gilbert ran back after Brands following the whistle. "I didn't hear the whistle," Gilbert said. "I let him frustrate me, but I wanted to be rough and tough with him. Maybe next time I can intimidate him." Brands saw it another way. "He came after me three sec- onds after the whistle," Brands said. "People give me a lot of crap for rough stuff, but I would never do something like that." While there was controversial officiatinginBormet's match, it was much more subdued than Gilbert's. Bormet faced second- ranked Tom Ryan of Iowa. Bormet had three near takedowns ignored by the officials in his 4-3 defeat. "If it weren't that close, it wouldn't have come down to the refs," Bormet said. "When you're out there wrestling, you don't know if you have it (a takedown), but it sure felt like I did." While Bahr was disappointed in the outcome, he did not disagree with the calls. "There were close calls that would have put us in the position to win," Bahr said. "But Sean's got to get over that. He now knows he can go out there with the top guys." Michigan's third disappointing defeat in the finals was Lehrke's 4- 2 overtime loss to Mike Funk of Northwestern. After a scoreless first period, Funk got on the board with a quick escape to open the second. The only other scoring during regula- tion was a Lehrke escape early in the third period. Halfway through the extra ses- sion, each player was penalized one point for stalling. Lehrke fol- lowed that with a near takedown, but he couldn't finish off Funk. Then with 30 seconds left, Funk scored a takedown near the bound- ary, providing the winning margin. Michigan's other senior, Yaffai, lo.,t by a wider margin in the fi- nals. He was overmatched in his first Big Ten final. "I was a little flat out there," Yaffai said. "I think The (Grand Finalist) March affected me. They made a bigger deal of it this year, but it's also a lot different when you're in it." The other six champions were: Terry Brands (126) of Iowa, Troy Steiner (142) of Iowa, Matt De- maray (150) of Wisconsin, Kevin Randleman (167) of Ohio State, Marty Morgan (177) of Minnesota, and Jon Llewellyn (HWT) of Illi- nois. Along with those four wrestlers, Michigan qualified three others - James Rawls (142), Lanny Green (177), and Phil Tomek (HWT) - for the NCAA Championships in Iowa City. Green was Michigan's lone vic- tor during Sunday's competition as he won his third-place bout against Keith Davison of Wisconsin, 7-1. Green avenged an earlier loss to Davison which had cost him a higher seed in the tournament. "I was really happy with the way I wrestled today," Green said. "I got revenge against a couple of guys and feel confident for NCAAs." Rawls opened the tournament slowly, losing a tough 4-3 double overtime decision to fifth-ranked Jeff Lyons of Indiana. Lyons scored only one point in the match, but Rawls was penalized three point for stalling, including the decisiva point in the sudden-death overtime. While Bahr was disappointed with the loss, he was not critical of the calls. "James has a tendency to back away from his opponent in order to create space for his moves," Bahr said. "We've been getting on his case about this all year. It's not as if he's deliberately dogging it, bu@ it looks like stalling." After posting three straight vic- tories in the consolation bracket, Rawls reached the third-place bout against Tim McClellan of Purdue. While Rawls was not penalized in this match, he still felt he was too passive. "I need to put more pressure on my opponent instead of lagging back," Rawls said. "I need to change my style before Nationals and attack more." Tomek also placed fourth for the Wolverines as he lost 2-1 to Don Whipp of Michigan State. Whipp used his 25-pound advan- tage to push Tomek around throughout the match, which led to a stalling call against Tomek that provided the difference in the match. 0 Brian Harper (150) of Michigan nearly qualified for the NCAAs. He overcame a first-round loss to Willy Short of Minnesota, 8-5, be- fore posting two straight victories in the consolation bracket. Harper then received a rematch with Short and lost a tough 2-1 de- cision in which the decisive point came on a stalling call. Harper, then lost the fifth-place match to Adam Caldwell of Indiana, 6-3. The loss cost Harper an NCAA in- vitation. Michigan's other two wrestlers, Mike Mihalic (126) and Kevin Williams (167), both lost their first two matches and were eliminated.

Summer 1991 (July 3 - August 18) Earn EIGHT HOURS of University credit for studying Introductory Geology in the Rocky Mountains, including: " Yellowstone National Park " Grand Tetons " Dinosaur National Monument " Craters of the Moon " SETTING This ideal "outdoor classroom" offers some of the most scenic and interesting geology in the entire Rocky Mountain region. Mountain uplifts and deep erosion have exposed a variety of Earth structures and rocks of diverse age and origin. The effects of alpine glaciation, landslides, stream erosion, and a host of other geological phenomena provide an unmatched introduction to geology. The geological history of the Teton, Gros Ventre, and Wind River mountain ranges is fully recorded in a sequence of fossiliferous rocks which in many cases can be interpreted in terms of processes still at work today. LOCATION The University of Michigan field course is taught at Camp Davis, a permanent facility built by the University in 1929. Camp Davis is about 20 miles south of Jackson, Wyoming, near the junction of the Overthrust Belt, the Snake River Plain, the Wind River Range, and the Green River Basin; the Tetons lie to the north, the Bros Ventre Range to the east, and the Basin and Range Province to the west. It is simply an excellent place to learn about geology. The camp is located on the Hoback River near its junction with the Snake River; the trout fishing is great. CAMP The field camp was constructed by The University of Michigan in order to provide a teaching facility in the Rocky Mountains. Camp Davis living quarters consist of rustic cabins with wood-burning stoves and running water. Showers and laundry facilities are shared by students; meals are served mess-hall style in a large dining room. Camp facilities include classrooms, a first-aid station, a large recreation hall, a softball diamond, and a volleyball court. Other facilities are available in Jackson; transportation to town is provided regularly. COURSE CONTENT Geological Sciences 116 is an in-depth course cdvering all aspects of geology. The thrust of this course is to teach students about minerals and rocks in a variety of settings. Approximately two weeks of the course are spent on trips to other parts of Wyoming as well as Nevada, Montana, Idaho, and Utah. You will examine minerals, rocks, and fossils in their natural settings. Although lectures are a part of the course, most of your time will be spent in the field where instruction is often on an individual basis. FACULTY The camp Davis teaching staff consists of faculty from the Department of Geological Sciences at The University of Michigan and visiting faculty from other universities. The course is typically staffed by three faculty members and two graduate teaching assistants. CREDIT Geological Sciences 116 carries EIGIHT (8) credit hours and is equivalent to a two-term sequence of introductory geology. It largely satisfies the natural science distribution requirement in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. PREREQUISITES No prerequisites. High School seniors and university students are encouraged to apply. Entering freshpersons could arrive on campus in the fall term with 8 hours of science credit out of the way by studying rocks and minerals in the mountains of the West. SCHEDULE Geological Sciences 116 runs for 6 weeks. The dates for the 1991 summer course will be from July 3, when the caravan leaves Ann Arbor, until August 18, the day that the caravan returns to Ann Arbor.
