Jackson and King to the CBA? Ray Jackson and Jimmy King, the two members of Michigan's "Fab Five" who remained in school for a full four seasons, were selected in the third and fourth rounds, respectively, of the 1995 Continental 8asketbatl Associaton draft, yesterday. Grand Rapids used the 35th pick to select the forw-rd Jackson and Quad City spent the 45th selection on King, a guard. Page 8A Thursday.

When the women's crew team officially becomes varsity next year, you have to wonder if it will still be recruiting on the diag. With 20 scholarships to give away, the team might have quite a few takers. Could you imagine Steve Fisher or Lloyd Carr doing the same thing? You have to wonder, though, where Michigan will be recruiting for its crew participants. Calls to the Michigan High School Association and many high schools around the state turned up plenty of people who had never even heard before. The of the sport ~ ~'. association does not sponsor the sport because not enough schools have it. ANTOINE Out in the PITTS Northeast, crew Pitts is prevalent in Stop high schools - private schools that is. The fact of the matter is that crew is a very expensive sport for high school athletic departments. It recquires schools that have lots of money. You won't find the Detroit Public School League holding any regattas this weekend on the Detroit River. Are the people participating on the new varsity crew team going to be just from wealthy, elite schools? Then again, nobody's ever accused Michigan of being elite. It might be a good idea to pay attention on your next trip through the diag. d When the new field hockey and lacrosse fields were constructed this summer it meant evicting another campus group from the area.

The Wolverines (6-2 overall) have now won four consecutive contests. More- over, all scores have been by shutout. Michigan anticipated a slower game because the Cardinals play on grass, but found the playing surface to be just a minor detail. After some adjusting and some sluggish play at first, the team had little problems and was soon control- ling both ends of the field. Senior forward Aaleya Koreishi scored the only goal of the game, unas- sisted, at 3:51 of the second half. The Wolverines appeared sluggish in the ongoing, possibly due to the field, and found Ball State attempting a total of five shots in the first half, keeping senior goaltender Rachael Geisthardt on the defensive. Michigan gave Geisthardt little support, struggling to find scoring opportunities. The Wol- verines attempted only one shot in the first half. However, with Koreishi's goal in the early moments ofthe second half, Michi- gan thrived on the co-captain's mo- mentum and easily shutdown the weak offense of the Cardinals. The Wolverines managed only one shot in the first half, but with the backing of Koreishi's goal, they kept Ball State in check for the rest of the contest. Michigan took advantage of more shot opportunities in the latter half, amassing a game total of 11. The Cardinals could muster only one shot of its own in the crunch, leading to their demise. Geisthardt knocked away four Ball State shots, all in the first half, and then watched Koreishi pound Cardi- nal goalie Andrea Adams for another four shots. Koreishi led the Wolvet- ine attack with five shots, while sophQ-t more Meredith Weinstein had two. Four other Michigan players rounded' out the shooting. The Wolverines attoned forlastyear's 2-1 overtime loss to Ball State, and find themselves in the middle of a seven game road swing. Yesterday's win ver- sus the Cardinals boosted their record to 3-0 on the trip. Michigan battles Michigan State, Sunday, in East Last- sing. JUDITH PERKINS/Daily Despite a sluggish first half, the Michigan field hockey team took control in the second stanza and shutout Ball State, 1-0. 'M'at hon By James Goldstein Daily Sports Writer The Michigan football team can play couch potatoes Saturday. While the Wolverines are relaxing, the 10 remaining teams in the conference are in action this weekend. If the pattern of this season continues, blowouts and nail- biters should prevail Saturday. The elite of the conference, Penn State andOhio State,can already markthe"W" on its schedule. Which team decides to run up the score is the game within the game. The Buckeyes and Nittany Lions will do whateverthey can injockeying for position in the polls. A 1994 bowl rematch, a few firstmeet- ings and one conference duel highlight the rest of the conference games. Minnesota (0-0 Big Ten, 1-0 Overall) at Syracuse (1-1) Minnesota travels to Syracuse in the first meeting between the two schools. The Gophers are coming off their suc- cessful home debut against Ball State last week, 31-7. All-America and Heisman ie to watch rest of conference this Saturday Trophy candidate Around C h r i s Darkins the poses a threat tothe Orangemen defense. T h e Syracuse fans must be scratch- ing their heads right now. The comeback win against North Carolina in Chapel Hill made it seem that it could be a special season for the Or- ange. But losing at home to East Carolina on a late Pirate touchdown must confuse the fans even more. In this game, Minnesota should prevail with its offensive balance, but Syracuse always seems to pull out tough non- conference games at home. Syracuse 24, Minnesota 21 East Carolina (2-1) at Illinois (0-1, 1- 2) Illinois doesn't need the advice from Syracuse on how to play East Carolina. The Illini know what to expect. In the 1994 Liberty Bowl, Illinois blasted the Pirates, 30-0. Johnny Johnson com- pleted 18-of-30 pass attempts for 250 yards and four touchdowns. Heisman hopeful and Butkus candidate Simeon Rice didn't even have a sack. This time, the Illini welcome the Pirates to Champaign. Illinois eked out a 9-7 victory over Arizona last week, thanks to Rice. The senior linebacker tallied 3.5 sacks, breaking the conference career sacks record. Rice now has 39.5 career sacks in 38 games, passing Michigan's Mark Messner's total of 36 career sacks. There are two keys to the game. If Johnson can regain the touch he had in the 1994 Liberty Bowl, the Illini should roll. If not, Illinois may have to rely on its defense once again. And if the Illini secondary can contain the Pirate pass- ing game, its an easy win. Illinois 34, East Carolina 10 Ohio State (2-0,0-0) at Pittsburgh (2-1) Ohio State can use this mark on its schedule as a warm-up for Notre Dame in South Bend in two weeks. With two victories over non-conference teams un- der their belt, the seventh-ranked Buck- eyes are clicking in all phases. The quarterback-running back tandem of Bobby Hoying and Eddie George has shined in its two games - especially George. Pittsburgh coach Johnny Majors and his Panthers will have to focus on con- taining George. It's a big task. Maybe the home crowd will help. Then again - maybe not.
