THE MICHIGAN DAILY F WAY, MARCH 1, THE MICHIGAN DAILY * FRIDAY. MAR*JH I . __.... _ , . ._s,.,., _ . Rugged Harris Winding Up Home Career 1 Conference Leaders Grapple By TOM ROWLAND 1 possesses a balanced team with depth and strength in every posi- tion. Michigan Coach Cliff Keen has his deepest team in at least three years. The Wolverines hate strength in every position, and an- other man to fill in if one gets hurt or has to move down a weight. At 123-lbs. Keen has been alter- nating Ralph Bahna and Carl Rhodes. Bahna has a losing rec- ord but has fully recovered from a knee injury and has shown quick moves in his last two starts. In the Indiana meet two weeks ago, Bahna got his first collegiate pin. Improving Soph At 130-lbs. the Wolverines have Dave Dozeman, an improving sophomore, and Captain Nick Ar- melagos. Gary Wilcox, who appears even now to be a threat to Huff, is at 137-lbs. Wilcox just returned this semester after missing a se- mester and no opponent has come close to him. His three wins were: a pin against Wisconsin, an 8-2 win against Indiana, and a 11-6 verdict against the Spartans. At 147-lbs. Michigan has either Lee Deitrick or Jim Keen. Deitrick is ailing from a.pinched nerve in his shoulder but as a sophomore has chalked up many impressive wins including a first place in the Wilkes Tournament. At 157-lbs. there is Rick Bay or Wayne Miller. Bay has lost once this season while Miller has a sol- id winning record. Chris Stowell, at 167-lbs., has looked quite im- pressive on the home mats, pin- ning three of his five opponents. At 177-lbs. there is either Stowell or Joe Arcure or Jack Barden. And, finally at heavyweight, Keen has Barden or Bob Spaly. Barden looms as the Big Ten Champion with an unblemished record save for a tie against Mich- igan State's massive Homer Mc- Clure. The Wolverine heavyman has two really impressive wins against his nemises, Northwestern's Al Jaklich and pinning Wiscon- sin's Roger Pillath, the defending Big Ten Champion. "B.J." bows out before the home fans Saturday. It will be the close of two quick years for Michigan when John Harris, with the same dead-pan expression on his face that belies a fantastic jumping talent and a locker-full of basketball purple hearts, makes his Yost Field House finale against Illinois. The 6'5", 200-lb. senior. has had all the bad breaks this winter, get- ting well-acquainted with Michi- gan's training room after a string of injuries kept him well-hamp- ered throughout most of the sea- son. Says Big John: "It's just that--- tough luck." Then with a shrug, "Things just happen that way." Things have happened that have made it an up-and-down final season for Harris, who moved over to forward this winter after a junior year at center to make room for Bill Buntin. Slow Start "At the beginning of the sea- son I really had trouble getting started," says Harris. "It was the first time I'd played at forward- it took some time to get adjusted, but after a while I felt I was playing a lot better. I had two real good games down in the Hous- ton Classic, and the Evansville game just before that was one of my best this year." At Evansville "B.J." popped in 20 points, and down in Texas the Wolverine forward's play had him named to the all-tournament team. It was against fouston that Har- ris' free throws in the fourth over- Last Chance Michigan gymnastics fans have their last chance to see, the gym team in action tonight at 7:30.in the Intramural Bldg.

I JOHN HARRIS ... home finale time period squeaked Michigan to a 90-88 win. "But then when I hurt that right ankle against Yale I got into trou- ble," the lanky star goes on. "Be- cause of those strained ligaments I started putting more pressure on the other foot and twisted up that left ankle. Ever since then I just haven't been able to get back into stride-my shooting's been .way off." Harris mis-landed on his left foot while going up for a rebound against Indiana, and his depar- ture from the game brought on a standing ovation from packed Yost Field House. And down at Purdue last weekend the Michigan senior caught an elbow in the cheek that left his numbed face in poor shape. Buntin Arrives Buntin's arrival on the Michigan scene pushed Harris out of the limelight at center, where he was the Big Ten's shortest pivotman last season. "Bill's doing a great job--a better job than I did last year," comments John. "I feel better playing at center, though. At forward you don't get as many shots, and at center all the action is coming to you in- stead of you to it." A veteran of high school ball in Leland, Miss., where he was an all-state selection his senior year, Harris transferred to Michigan after a year at Alcorn College. "I always wanted to go to a Big Ten school," he says, "but I never thought I'd have the chance." Jumping right into the starting line-up last year, Harris swished 17 points in his first game and ended the season with a 12 points a game average. Calm John About that stone-faced expres- sion that never changes, be the lead 30 or one: "Well, I try to keep calm because I play my best ball that way. The expression? I guess it's just something I've acquired." Harris was thinking of trying for the American Basketball League before it folded recently. "I was interested in the ABL- that was at the beginning of the season when I was doing better. I still believe I could make it in the league. These injuries are slowing me down now, but I'm sure I could get over them. This is the first time that injuries have kept me out of the lineup." The big forward will be physical- ly in one piece for the Illinois game Saturday. "They've got a great team, winning mostly on their shooting. I think we're stronger on the boards than they are-we really want to beat 'em." If Michigan does top the Illini it'll be a big break for Ohio State, currently deadlocked with Illinois for the top Big Ten spot. Says Harris: "I think I'd rather see Illinois go to the NCAA's because they've got the better team. Of course, I'd never let that affect my play on the floor. We're just out to win regardless of who we're playing." Harris contends that basketball is really on the upswing at Michi- gan. "I feel that it needs more emphasis and even maybe a new field house." The dirt get in your eyes, John? "Well, actually our floor is as good as anybody's we play on. But from the spectator aspect-and especially in recruit- ing new players-it sure would help." "I think the people here are definitely more football-conscious. Of course, last fall's team didn't hurt boosting basketball around here." UP FOR TWO-John Harris goes high in the air for a two- pointer against Iowa last Monday night. The 6'5" senior makes his last home performance against Illinois this Saturday, cur- rently scoring 8.8 points a game. That's Michigan center Bill Buntin under the basket.

The 6'S" Heyman, from Rock- ville Centre, N.Y., sparked the Duke Blue Devils to an unbeaten record in regular season play in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He topped the voting by 183 sports writers and radio-TV broadcasters. On the basis of five points for a first team vote and two points for a second team nod, Heyman polled 142 firsts and 744 points al- together. Bonham, also 6'5", whose hot shooting helped Cincinnati's National Collegiate champions to another Missouri Valley Confer- ence title, was runner-up in the voting with 132 firsts and 706 points. Harkness, a "small" 6'2" who sparked Loyola to 21 straight vic- tories was third with 64 firsts and 428 points comfortably ahead of the 6'8" Bradds and the 6'4" Kra- mer. The voting was very close after the top three with Bradds, Kra- mer, Thorn and Nash virtually even at 321, 319, 313 and 307, re- spectively. Thorn polled 49 first place votes to 47 for each of the other three, but Bradds and Kra- mer slipped in ahead of him with more second place nods. Thacker, Hazzard, Bradley and Werkman also were close with 256, 249, 246 and 238 points, re- spectively.
