6 f PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, 23 3ANUARY 1965 Cage rs By SCOTT BLECH March 9, 196.4 - Bob Purkhiser and Dave Shellhase paced Purdue to an 81-79 upset over the NCAA- bound Michigan cagers in Ann Arbor's Yost Field House today. Oct. 17, 1964 - Sophomore Bob Griese fired two touchdown passes to lead Purdue to a 21-20 upset win over Michigan before a parti- san Wolverine crowd. Today, these three athletes, as if by fate, return to Yost Field House for a regionally-televised Ticket Information Basketball tickets for stu- dents, faculty, employes, as well as general admission, are on sale 8 a.m.-noon today. Those tickets not sold this morning will go on sale at Yost Field House at 3 p.m. (4:30 p.m.) contest 'with the na- tion's second-ranked and Big Ten- leading Wolverines. Last year's cage upset was over a Michigan team with the same ranking and the gridiron loss saw the fifth= ranked Wolverines fall to the "Spoilermakers." Griese Returns Since last fall, Griese has cast aside =his football cleats but .is still a quarterback. The versatile sophomore has taken charge of ToFac the Bolermaker attack and is quarterback for cage mentor Ray Eddy as he was for football coach Jack Mollenkopf. Griese injured his ankle in Tuesday's 78-74 win over Notre Dame and might not be at full strength today. Dave Johnson, 6'3", will replace the Boilermaker quarterback if his ankle still bothers him. . Purkhiser, the other Purdue guard, was a big thorn in the side of coach Dave Strack last March. The 6'2" backcourt ace scored the. two winning points from the free throw iline and hit an impressive 11 of 16 from the field. Purkhiser's 26 points were supplemented by the 25 from Shellhase. Ninth in Big Ten This season, Purkhiser has av- eraged 18.6 points a game and his 18.2 Big Ten average is ninth best. Bill Buntin ranks seventh in con- ference scoring with an almost identical 18.8 average. Shellhase presently sports a field goal average of 30.9, fourth highest in the country. The 6'4" junior was described by Strack yesterday as a "player with few faults. He is effective everywhere -in the low post or at guard." Shellhase is averaging 29 points a game in Big Ten play; second only to Cazzie Russell's 33. Russell, however, has a 27-point average for the season and ranks sixth in the nation in scoring. Russell Edges Shellhase Russell won the initial battle against Shellhase last March when he pumped in 27 points. Last year, they were talented sopho- mores; this year, they are present-j ly the twohighest scoring juniors in the NCAA. Purdue, which is 1-1 in Big Ten competition and 8-4 overall, has added strength under the boards this year. Tom Niemeier, 6'9", a high school All-American at Evansville, Ind., where he prepped with Griese, is the big difference. Niemeier has grabbed 49 rem bounds and scored 54 points in his last five games and leads Purdue scorers with a field goal percent- age of .546. With center Bill Jones standing 6'8", the Purdue front line is taller than Michigan's.

"Not only did Gary Wood put me on the bench," continued Tit- tle, and then with a grin, "but last fall he even asked permission to date my daughter.

(P)-John Pont made the jump from the Ivy League to the Big Ten yes- terday and said after accepting the head football coaching job at Indiana that "the pressures are the ones you put on yourself." Pont, a winner at Yale andtbe- fore that at Miami of Ohio, took the jpb of trying to lift Indiana out of the depths and started thinking about recruiting, spring practice-and building a house. He made it clear he expects to be around for some time. "Time is against us," Pont said of the late start onus965 recruit- ing. "By the time we get settled we'll have four to six weeks before the April deadline. But the present staff has been working." He told a news conference in Indianapolis he would be glad to get back to spring practice, which he did not have at Yale. "It's an excellent time to ex- periment," he said. The 37-year-old Pont accepted a five-year contract as Indiana head coach at undisclosed terms. Pont, who compiled a record of 12 victories, five defeats and one tie in two seasons at Yale after putting together a 43-22-2 mark in seven years at Miami, succeeds Phil Dickens. Dickens re- signed Dec. 22 when his request for reassignment' to another post at the university was approved. Indiana has not had a winning football season since Dickens' 1958 team put together a 5-3-1 record. The Hoosiers then have to go back to 1947 before finding a compar- able mark. In Big Ten Conference play, the Hoosiers have won only 10 games in the last 10 years while losing 43 and tying two. "It's a challenge," said Pont. Pont made two trips to the In- diana campus before finally de- ciding. He said he took so long to make up his mind because he had no reason for leaving Yale and was looking for reasons to accept the Indiana offer. The new Hoosier coach, who took four assistants with him from Miami to Yale, said he also hopes to bring the bulk of his staff to Indiana. The only doubtful one, he said, is Carm Cozza, who wants the Yale head coach post. is a little bit pessimistic at the be- ginning of the season. However; this year he feels that his thin- clads, having lost many top men through graduation, are basically a rebuilding team with several: sophomores to watch, but with some reliable regulars as well. Canham views this team as lacking the depth last year's squad had, when it captured the Big Ten I n d o o r Conference Championship and took second in the Big Ten Outdoor meet. He does, however, expect some sur- prisees. New Faces Today's meet will give some sort of indication of the quality of sev- eral new performers, who will be tested for the first time in varsity competition. Among these is Dave Cooper, a sprinter from Wood- mere, N.Y. Cooper, running in the 60-yd. dash today,' has turned In a .9:06 for the 100 and 0:20.9 for the 220. Another sophomoreto watch is Bob Gerometta, from Portage, Indiana. He is compet- ing in the 440-yd. dash and will also run a leg in the mile-relay. Gordon Harvey is another of Canham's fine crop of newcomers. Shot-putting upwards of 48 feeet as a freshman, Harvey nowcan be expected to approach the 50 foot mark. Marion Hoey, from 'Flint, Mich., looms as a possible star quarter-miler, having broken 0:50 on several occasions. Experience Along with the sophomores there are, of course, the expe- rienced regulars. Dorie Reid, who placed fifth in last year's Big Ten Indoor 60"yd. dash, is again running in this event, with a best time of 0:6.2 to his credit. An- other sprinter who will be seeing a lot of action this year is Willie Brown, an all-state high school turned in a fourth-place per-' formance in this same event in the Big Ten Indoor Meet last March.
