incapacitated players in its wake In all six Black Bears fell to one injury or another including five probable starters on the defensive side of the ball was not a good weekend" summed up UM head coach Tim Murphy Monday Beginning with the defense the Red Cross list reads as follows: Mike Smith freshman linebacker and probable starter suffered a knee injury Friday afternoon and underwent arthroscopic surgery Monday He will be lost for 5-8 weeks Steve Violette senior co-captain and defensive tackle suffered back spasms and is now on a day to day basis Troy Conquest senior noseguard and probable starter separated a shoulder Saturday and will be lost indefinitely Scott Nason junior defensive tackle and probable starter also hurt a shoulder and will be under observation for 5-7 days Greg Bennett freshman defensive tackle and the first backup in the D-line suffered a sprained ankle and is out for a week Meanwhile on the offensive side of the ball junior wide receiver Steve Roth suffered a groin pull and will miss from 3-5 days at least are the kind of weekends you hope you never have to go Murphy sighed years it just like this So far it look be in too bad of shape for AIC season opener Sept 5) provided we get some people Needless to say the carnage has resulted in some lineup shuffling for the Bears With Smith out along with previously injured inside linebacker Joe

freshman to make a big push fora starting berth especially with the injury situation The rash of injuries has caused Murphy to rethink running a scheduled intrasquad scrimmage have no defensive line That makes it hard to summed up the UM coach If been a single theme to inaugural UM training camp it has been PRESSURE pressure as in make practices as psychologically and physically demanding as possible for both the offense and the defense even beyond normal preseason standards "The idea is to put as much pressure on the kids as possible in practice so it is taken off when they play the explained Murphy And how is that accomplished? instance when running an offensive play in a scrimmage situation we'll tell the scout (defensive) team what play is coming That forces the offense to execute without the element of surprise Or we might spend a half-hour working against a blitz situation Our quarterbacks will see nothing but blitzes from every angle for 20 straight plays forced to react and get accustomed to executing under the pressure course you actually recreate game situations" Murphy continued you can make it close enough so that the kids are more at ease during the games as are the Another kind of pressure Murphy and his staff have been subjecting the Black Bears to is mental pressure as in throwing a lot of Xs and Os at the players and demanding execution Gagnon

He also shows com- mand of a good changeup The thing I was most pleased about was that he showed me command of three pitches You see many young pitchers with three good He also said Loubier exhibited very sound pitching mechanics says a lot for the program he came out Kelly feels Loubier has the potential to be a major league pitcher but said he would like to see the 22-year-old come to minicamp in better shape next February Kelly said he thought part of back problems which kept him sidelined for two starts prior to his shoulder dislocation resulted from being out of shape you want to improve you have to put more work in observed Loubier have a pitching coach standing over you (making sure you do sprints) If you do well your own fault" sweeping overhand curve is his bread-and-butter pitch South Loubier said he also threw his hard curve which resembles a slider as a waste pitch on 0-2 and 1-2 counts majority of the outs I got this summer were on said Loubier who was 4-5 with a team-low 284 ERA for the Black Bears this past spring But it was a fly ball that did Loubier in as he fell chasing one in batting practice landing on his left elbow which popped the shoulder out of place

year He was 2-1 in four starts He did not give up a homer and between his college and pro seasons in 1987 allowed just one homer in 104 innings first thought is that I can definitely do well in that league" said Loubier who expects to be a regular in the starting rotation at the Class A level next year hitters that overly impressive and the pitchers that overly impressive There were weak spots in the orders and in the pitching rotations just like there were in Loubier a 19th-round draft choice of the'San Diego Padres said he had a good fastball throughout the summer a few bejng clocked as high as 89 miles per hour and his overhand curve and changeup were effective for the most part I pitched in relief my curve said Loubier know if I was rushing to get out of the inning or not But when I became a starter it was working a lot better" thought Steve did a good job especially for someone coming out of college into a high A said Reno manager Pat Kelly liked his arm We heard he had a real
