There was no elaboration to

"Harry has been the kingpin in
developing our defense. With a
guy like Harry, you can give him
a lot more responsibility because
he can handle it. He's got a lot of
pride about his work. You never

to it."

who quit recently.
Owner William Clay Ford of the
Lions said Gilmer had accepted a
three-year contract, but terms
were not disclosed.
The hiring of Gilmer followed
the mid-December firings of Wil-
son's five assistant coaches and
Wilson's later resignation.
Wilson walked out on Ford in
a huff, complaining he could not
work under conditions imposed
by Ford. Wilson reportedly had
been deprived of much authority
he previously held.
The announcement of Gilmer's
employment came in a terse state-
ment by a Lions spokesman.
Tickets for tomorrow's basket-
ball game against Illinois and
tonight's and tomorrow night's
hockey games against North
Dakota are still on sale at the
Athletic Ticket Office at State
and Hoover.
The ticket office will be open
from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today.
Hockey tickets still not sold
may be purchased at the games.
Any remaining basketball
tickets will be sold Saturday
morning at the ticket office.
Schedule Break
"This is the first week in a long
time that we are able to concen-I
trate on past performances,"
Strack pointed out. "With exams
and our tight schedule, we have
not had much time to practice."
Strack was of course disap-
pointed in the Holiday Tourna-
ment results. His team defeated
Manhattan, 90-77, but squeaked
by Princeton, 80-78. When Prince-
ton All-American Bill Bradley
fouled out with 4:37 to play,
Michigan"trailed by 14 points.
Bradley scored 41 points and was
voted the tournament's MVP
award. "He's a fine ball player
with moves similar to those of
Terry Dischinger (Detroit Pis-
tons)," Strack added.
"We did not play as hard as we
are accustomed to," Strack ex-

Michigan built up a 16-point
lead against St. John's in the sec-
ond half with Cazzie Russell scor-
ing 10 points in four minutes and
Pomey and Bill Buntin combining
for seven more. The Wolverines
stymied the St. John's offense
during that period as they em-
ployed a full-court press. "We had
to stop pressing when we quit
scoring," Strack explained.
Lose Lead
Michigan made mistakes and
had difficulty scoring in the last
part of the second half and saw
their lead disappear. In addition
to their shooting dry spell, Russell
and Buntin each acquired their
fourth foul of the game. Russell
fouled out in the final minute of

CORVALLIS, Ore. (P) -Coach
Tommy Prothro of Oregon State
said Wednesday a study of the
Rose Bowl game films convinces
him that Michigan is the greatest,
football team he has ever seen.
Michigan defeated Oregon State
34-7 in the game.
"We had some bad luck and we
had some bad lapses, but we hadj
those all year and managed toI
recover," said Prothro.
"This time our opponent was
just plainly superior. I don't know'
if we played better all year, but
I don't think so. If we played that
well in every game, no one else
would have beaten us.
"The pictures are really inter-
esting. There were times when our
players blasted Michigan players
at full speed and only wound up
flat on their backs with the other
people on top of them. I've never
seen such hitting."

Crisler pointed out yesterday'
that the colleges have no author-
ity to prevent the pro teams from
breaching their own agreements.
But he pointed out, "One possible
answer is to withhold co-opera-
tion with the professionals.
"College teams frequently give
the scouts information and appra-
sials of seniors. The scouts are
also allowed to attend practice
sessions and are given game
films."
Crisler also added that Big Ten
