Uft irid~uu &dlgd Two Louisville football players booted Former Eastern Michigan coach Ron Cooper kicked two players off the Cardinals' football team and suspended two others for breaking team rules, he announced Monday, just a day after star running back Lawrence Phillips was booted from the Nebraska football squad. Running back Corey Salee and sophomore cornerback Chris Pointer will not return to the squad this season. Defensive linemen Craig Powell and Mike Scott were suspended for one and two games, respectively.

"Kevin Sullivan, one of the great milers in the country, will be on the trip and we're hoping to get him in if the game goes into overtime," Carr joked. Chances are pretty good that the game won't go into an extra session but Sullivan and the rest of the men's and women's cross country teams, will be on hand for the Wolverines' game Sat- urday against the Eagles. Both cross country teams have meets Saturday morning in Boston and are traveling with the football team. The men are competing in the Boston College Invitational, and the women have a dual meet against the Eagles. As for the football team, the Wolver- ines are hoping to continue what has been the best start for a Michigan team since 1986 - the last time it started 3- 0. Things aren't all peachy, however, for the Wolverines. They turned the ball over four times against Memphis Saturday and the of- fensive flow was marred by penalties all day. Tshimanga Biakabutuka, Clarence Williams, Mercury Hayes and George Howell all fumbled the ball Saturday - the first fumbles of the year by Michi- gan. "Three of the four were, in my view, preventable," Carr said. Biakabutuka's fumble came with the Wolverines inside the Tigers' 10-yard line on a bad exchange with quarter- back Scott Dreisbach. Howell's fumble was returned for Memphis' only touchdown. "We're going to have to work on taking care of the football," Carr said. "That's apparent." He is hoping to have that corrected before this Saturday's game against Boston College. The game poses a number of unusual problems for the Wolverines. To begin with, it won't start until 6:30 p.m. Carr, however, doesn't plan to do much to try to prepare the team for playing at night. "We may turn the lights down a little," he quipped. Ofbigger concern to Carr is the crowd noise. Saturday's crowd will be the smallest the Wolverines have seen this year, but it will also likely be the loud- est. Carr hoped to get Dreisbach accus- tomed to crowd noise against Illinois, but the Wolverines took the Illini out of the game before they ever really got into it. The Eagles' Alumni Stadium under- went renovations last year and added an upper level of seats that increased the stadium's capacity to 44,500. In 1991, Michigan's last trip to Boston College, the stadium held 32,000. Saturday is not only Boston College's first home game ofthe year, but it is also homecoming. Carr is expecting the crowd to be the loudest the Wolverines will encounter this season, "and if you wait until six o'clock it will be even noisier, I guess," he said. Michigan got an early look at the Eagles when Boston College lost the. Kickoff Classic to Ohio State, 38-6. "I think the Ohio State game got out of hand for (Boston College)," Carr said. "The long touchdown return by (Shawn) Springs took them out of their game plan." Carr isn't expecting the same Satur- day, and he's hoping the Wolverines' defense will continue to get the pres- sure it got against Memphis and that the offense can put together some sustained drives. If it can't, Sullivan may become Michigan's next two-sport athlete. ftONORED AGAIN For the second straight week, Michigan pulled in Big See FOOTBALL, Page 11 MARK FRIEDMAN/Daily Tim Blakabutuka earned Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors after rushing for 143 yards against Memphis. Spikers'lineup not as potent without starters Miniuk expected back this weekend; Luze and Tennis out for at least two weeks By Monica Polakov Daily Sports Writer Every serious athlete has one fear in common: injury. Whether you are a football player, a basketball player, or a golfer, you do all you can to protect yourself.\ After all, you do not want to sacrifice years of training and hard work because of a careless mishap. However, everybody knows that there is no surefire way to prevent injury. And when athletes do get hurt, they not only hurt themselves but their teammates as well -by leaving holes Michigan Volleyball (3-3) Next match: at UMass Invitational Amherst, Mass.

The junior landed on a middle blocker's foot and tore three ligaments at practice a couple of weeks ago. As a result, she missed the Georgia Invitational, in which Michigan won two out of three matches. Now she is back and feeling 100 percent. Luze practiced with the team last Tuesday and managed to get some playing time in last weekend's Kaepa Challenge. "I feel good and I'm glad to be back," Luze said. Luze doesn't think that her injury seriously affected Michigan's perfor- mance. "Our outside hitters are doing such a great job that (we) haven't been affected much." Luzeeis impressed with the perfor- mance of right outside hitter Jeanine Szczniak, who is only a freshman. The Wolverines also lost Chereena Tennis, the starting defense specialist and one of the best passers on the squad, to injury. Tennis fractured her back diving for the ball on just the second day of practice. The result is a six-week absence from volleyball in which the starter will only be allowed to observe the games. (6This year is looking a lot better (than previous years). We 've always had talent, but (now) we're really playing well." - Shareen Luze Michigan volleyball player Finally, Colleen Miniuk was out with a strained knee but should be back in time to go to the University of Massachusetts Invitational this week- end. She hit a wall and twisted her knee during practice in the second week of the season. "The team played through the inju- ries really well," Luze said. "Injury didn't affect the lineup very much." The Wolverines lost some the depth but continue to improve. "This year is looking a lot better (than previous years)," says Luze.
