WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6,1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE NINE WEDNSDA, DCEMBR 6 197 TH MI~iGN DALY AGEN-- Invading Blue By HUD ENGLEHART Down in Durham, North Carol- ina they make slow burning cigarettes and slow-talking people who rarely. push the accelerators in their mouths. Generally there are only two things that make life hectic for the easy-going city. Both things are housed on Duke University's beautiful campus. Football is one of the two things that excite Durham's populace but the other one - the most important one - puts a mass of burning desire in the hearts of ' the Duke fan. On a given night in 'Durham, the polite Southerner will sud- denly turn into King Rabble at the sight of a Mike Lewis charg- ing the boards and coming up with a key rebound. Basketball. That's what they wait for all year and by the time the season gets under way the game is almost as precious as secession was in 1860. Michigan fans are going to find out why basketball has such a rousing influence in Durham as Duke's Blue Devils invade the new University Events Building tonight at 8:00. "We've scouted Duke," says Michigan Head Coach D a v e Strack, "and, as always, they have a tough team." Not only will Duke be tough as always, they'll be fast as al- ways, too. In their practice ses- sions Vic Bubas, the Blue Devil head coach, likes a lot of run- ning. -There is nothing like dur- ability when it comes to winning. Sweet Bubas' formula for victory must be a good one as he has yet to suffer through a losing season as head mentor of the Blue Devils and many of his teams have en- joyed national ranking. According to Bubas, however, finding the winning combination! will not be easy this season. "We only have one chance of having the kind of team we've been accustomed to having," says Bubas, "We're just going to have to outbattle our opponents. We don't have the Vergas or Reidys or Heymans that we've had in the past. Those guys could carry you through a game even if the rest of the team was a little bit down. Hustlers "In our first game with VPI we won Wvith a lot of hustle and good defense and that's the way it will have to be all season if we expect to go anywhere," Bubas continued." Bubas calls his team a "strange one" because he hasn't been able to decide on one unit to carry the Blue Devil hopes for the '67- '68 season. "I have nine players who I wouldn't be afraid to play at any Devil and we're watching them every day. That'll give you some idea of how close these boys are." Strack's main concern about the game tonight is Duke's re- bounding strength. "There boys are a little huskier than ours," he says, "but if Ste- wart and Tomjanovich can dupli- cate their performance against Detroit, we might be able to match their power." Bubas is particularly concerned with the offensive punch that the Wolverines displayed in Detroit on Monday night. "We know that Tomjanovich can shoot the eyes out of the basket and we'll certainly be try- ing to contain him. Stewart was very effective against Detroit and' even though he has had a history to Put Up 'Dukes' was hampered by a bad leg in MICHIGAN the opening game against VPI (20) Bob Sullivan F but claims that the leg is feeling (45) Rudy Tomjanovich F better now and is expected to be (40) Dennis Stewart C able to go full strength tonight.

Detroit, which trailed 82-74 after three periods, finally tied thel game at 95-95 on two straight field goals by rookie Jim WalkerI with about five minutes left.

Dischinger added 22, 10 in the final period. Don Kojis topped San Diego with, 27 points. * * * NEW YORK-The New York' Knickerbockers, sparked by Walt Bellamy and Cazzie Russell, got double figure scoring from nine players last night and blasted the Baltimore Bullets 148-117 in the second game of a National Bas- ketball Association doubleheader.

The Lakers forced the game into overtime on a free throw by Mel Counts with 18 seconds left in In the overtime period, Baylor scored eight of his game-high 32 points. His winning shot came after Wilt Chamberlain had tied r1 ue t ree s artersrunigro last season and Bubas is count- ing on him to lead the Duke attack from the backcourt. He is a very good ball-handler and has a great deal of speed. He shot at a 59.4 clip in last year's campaign. Joe Kennedy, a 6-7, 210 lb. senior, adds to the husky fore-I court which the Wolverines will have to tangle with tonight. Along with Lewis and Tin Kolodziej (6-5, 205), Kennedy sizes up as a key man in the Devil attack., Junior Dave Golden will be starting with Wendelin at guard.
