Wednesday, October $, 1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Wednesday,||October 8,|1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Poge.Seven Me dlevit dicipt Bill Cusumano_ While the focus of the campus sporting world has been resting on the football team, another section of the athletic department has been busily preparing for this season and what is more important, future seasons. The people referred to are, of course, the basketball coaches, John Orr, Fred Snowden, and George Pomey, and Dick Honig, the recruiting coordinator. While work forthis year mostly in- volves such mundane matters as scheduling and travel arrange- ments the task of building for the future lies in recruiting and they have not been sitting still. Many people have the mistaken impression that recruiting is only carried out while a sport is in season. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The round ball mentors are constantly examining reports on the many prospects in the country and establish contact with last year's top juniors as soon as possible. Thanks to HSBI reports, Dave Bones Publications and mas- sive scouting systems, the best players are known to everyone and it becomes imperative for a team to speak to a player at the earliest date, show a personal interest and show him the ad- vantages of the school. Orr and Snowden know this and last weekend they showed that they can put their knowledge to work. Two of the most exceptional prep basketball players in the country made their appearance at Michigan last week, their names being John Williamson and Jim Bradley. Wil- liamson is a 6-2 guard from New Haven, Connecticut and says Snowden, "He is considered to be the number one guard in the country." Assistant Coach Gale Catlett of Kansas backs this up by saying, "He could be the next Jo-Jo White if he comes to Kansas." Williamson verifies this himself, not by talking, but by his 40 point average on last year's Con- necticut state champs. Bradley, a 6-8 forward from East Chicago, Indiana, is no less of a star. Snowden informed me that, "Coaches consider him to be the best prospect to come out of the Chicago area since Cazzie Russell. He is an outstanding rebounder and probably the quickest high school forward in the country." Bradley also knows how to put the ball through the ring, having broken his school's scoring records last year. It is no surprise, though, that such players are visiting Michigan. As faithful readers of this column (who numbered two at last count) know, the program to upgrade Wolverine basketball fortunes began last spring when Henry Wilmore, Mel Davis and others were brought to Ann Arbor. In succeeding weeks others followed and several made a return trip in the fall for the purpose of registering. Wilmore, the great guard from New York City and Rock- wood Academy, is now a Michigan freshman, along with several top players from Michigan's own high school ranks. Ernie Johnson, 6-7 center from Grand Rapids, has arrived with his record of being an All-State selection while leading Ottawa Hills to two straight state titles. Another All-State star who will be wearing Wolverine colors is Leon Roberts of Portage Northern. Roberts is built in the Frank Merriweld mold, having been an all-star selec- tion In football and baseball also. The frosh wil be a team of strength and height and the strongest of them all could be John Lockard, 6-7 forward from Detroit's Pershing High. Everyone, from Orr right through the varsity players, agrees that Lockard is one tough man under the boards. Joining Lockard up front will be another muscleman, 6-6 Steve Bazelon from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The two of them, along with Johnson, shouldn't let too many loose balls get away. Now, that doesn't sound like a bad crew of athletes, does it? As a matter of fact, the team has been ranked among the top three freshman quintets in the nation. However, there is still one more name to come and it is a good one. That is Ken Brady, Flint Central's 6-10 super center. Brady was the object of every recruiter in the country intelligent enough to know a basketball from a pumpkin and even by some who didn't. He is a Michigan student, though, and that speaks highly for the job that Orr, Snowden and the Wolverine image did. For Brady cannot play this year, having to sit out a season to gain his academic eligibility. Enthusiastic fans will just have to whet their appetites with thoughts of Brady joining his com- patriots in his sophomore season, but the wait should be worth it. Michigan fans have been waiting since Cazzie Russell found out that he could only play three years of varsity ball and since then the frustrations have piled up. But a new excitement was found in last season's run and shoot crew with this year promising more of the same. The real anti- cipation comes from the freshman, though. The quality of the frosh is unmistakably good and there is no doubt that last year's recruiting resulted in several coups. It was an important recruiting year but this one is even more so. Several successful recruiting forays are needed before a power can be built and this is what Michigan aims for. That is why the appearance of Williamson and Bradley and the presence of the freshman is significant. While much publicity has been put out about Bo Schem- bechler reviving Michigan football, the basketball coaches have been quietly sneaking up. With the results they have been getting things might get a little noisier. U I Bo's bruised forces prime for Purdue By ERIC SIEGEL A slightly disspirited Michigan football team literally limped onto the practice field yesterday as the Wolverines began preparing in earnest for their Big Ten opener against Purdue this Saturday in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines, their spirits low after playing what head coach Bo Schembechler described as "the poorest performance mistake-wise I've ever had" and taking a 40-17 licking at the hands of a not-so- superior Missouri squad, found daily sportst NIGHT EDITOR: ELLIOTT BERRY yesterday that injury was added to insult. Coach Schembechler lists three members of his starting offensive unit as injury-ridden to varying degrees, in addition to a pair of second string offensive players and two members of the defensive squad. Heading the Wolverines' injury list is sophomore halfback Glenn Doughty, the team's leading ground gainer after the first three games. Doughty is still hobbled by an ankle injury incurred in the third quarter of the Missouri game. The shifty tailback, who holds a large part of the key to the Wolverines success this season, did not par- ticipate in the team's situation scrimmages yesterday. Doughty ,however, was in full uniform and worked out on the sidelines while the rest of the team ran through its offensive for- mations.

"We have two teams-No. 1 Ohio State and No. 9 Purdue--in the top 10, rankings'-,and this has been the{ same year in and year out." 1 The upswing of Big Eight teams against the Big Ten the last two imnpressive victories. Reed admitted there is divided opinion on the red shirt rule among Big Ten facultymen but said "-the majority is heavy against it." "The rule is being examined constantly," he added. "Personal- ly, in some cases I can see no harm in it, but not when it is used wholesale." As for increasing football ten- ders, Reed said the marginal bene- fits would not be as large as ex- pected because the extra athletes coming in probably would not be able to hack the grades. i ~-Daiy--Sara Krulich G ridde Pickings 1 Doughty races to get outside is expected to be at full strength by the end of the week. Also injured during last Satur- day's game was Doughty's backup man, sophomore Billy Tailor.
