Coach Strack Pleased with Cage Depth

1 4


v

By JERRY KALISH
Basketball practice opened yes-
terday, and coach Dave Strack
came away smiling.
With recent Michigan basketball
fortunes, or rather misfortunes,
that smile is a good thing to see.
The problem of depth which has
plagued Strack and his predeces-
sor Bill Perigo seems to have been
resolved.
Stands Alone
When Strack first took over as
head coach here two years ago his
team consisted of John Tidwell,
but still only managed to win two
conference games. Last year Tid-
wellxs scoring punch was gone, but

with more balance the Wolverines
finished with a 5-9 record using
six or seven players most of the
way.
This season with the return of
four starters and the availibility
of a top group of sophs, Strack


has what he calls, "More depth
and Big Ten quality ballplayers
than when I first came here."
With all this depth, Strack finds
that he'll have the problem of
choosing a starting line-up from
among nine or ten good players.
But right now during early
drills he is stressing conditioning
and fundamentals, but he added,
"We're going to get right down to
our offensive patterns in a few
days."
Last year he used a type of con-
trolled fast break. "I'm an advo-
cate of getting the good shot, but
using the fast break if we can,"
he explained.
With his unusual depth, the pos-
sibility remains for him to use
the run and shoot game more
this season. "If we find that the
personnel dictates that we can
successfully use the break, we will
run more," he said.
And it appears that Strack has
the necessary requirements of the
racehorse offense at his disposal.
What do you need for such an
attack?
The Lively Ones
Fast, ballhawking, aggressive
guards. Returning veterans Bob
Cantrell and Doug Herner, two
sub-six footers, fit the bill. Both
have good shots and, on occasion
last year burned the nets.
And with soph Larry Tregoning
whose 6'5" frame is no liability in
the backcourt, Strack's first re-
quirement for a good fast break is
met.
And he's got the second re-
quisite, too. Good rebounders in
the front court to get the ball to


the guards. Captain Tom Cole at
6'7" was the Wolverines top scorer
and rebounder last year. John
Harris small by Big Ten standards
for center at 6'5" was Michigan's
leading rebounder in conference
action and wound up sixth in that
department.
Highly improved Bill Buntin,
sophomore who stands 6'7" and

weighs 230 lbs., will allow Strack
the opportunity to try Harris at
the forward position where he
won't be at such a height dis-
advantage though Harries often
outplayed his taller opponents last
year.

Strack tried out the new can-

court for the first time yesterday,
and he commented on the idea of
a closed practice.
"When the baseball team moves
indoors for the winter and with
the track team practicing in the
field house too, there is a lot of
distraction, and we think we can
do a better coaching job with the

vas covering for the basketball I covering," he said.

ANOTHER SEASON-It seems hardly possible, but this scene will soon be repeated, not only in Yost
Field House, but also in many a basketball court around the country. Wolverine center John Harris
(33) is shown here going after the ball in the opening jump against Denver last year. Last year's cap-
tain Jon Hall (42) waits for the sphere to descend.

By DAVE GOOD
Bump Elliott didn't have to
think too hard about why Michi-
gan lost its fourth game in as
many years to Michigan State's
Spartans Saturday.
It was their big line and fast
backs that powered the Spartans
to their second straight 28-0 shl-
lacking of the Wolverines, and it
was just as evident on television
as it was on the field.
Michigan's head coach was im-
pressed especially by the big rush
the Spartan line put on all four
Michigan quarterbacks to keep
them from getting set all day.
Indians Hold
Passing accuracy was the weap-
on that Stanford used in its open-
ing-day upset over Duffy Daugher-
ty's crew, but the Indians carried
a slight weight advantage over a

lackluster MSU line that day and
succeeded in protecting their
throwers.
Michigan State outweighed Mich-
Michigan State outweighed
Michigan, 230 lbs. to 212 lbs., in
the line and poured in from all
angles.
"We didn't get off too many
passes-22-but that's still quite a
bit more than we have in the
past," Elliott explained about the
big rush on the passers.
Nice Try
"Some plays were supposed to
be passes, but they didn't quite get
off," he added with a grin. "And
then there were a good number
of pass-run options that ended up
as runs."
Defensively, the Wolverines did
not see much that came as a
surprise from State's "great run-

SALUTE: RAY GEITKA

Not long after Ray Geitka (B.S.E., M.S.E., 1961) joined
Michigan Bell, he was given a tough assignment.. Ray
was told to find the noise "bug" in an important micro-
wave relay system on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Ray
soon completed his -experiments, proved that rain was
causing the problem and suggested corrective steps.
Since then Ray Geitka has solved other problems, many

of them dealing with noise and how to suppress it.- Because
of his success with these assignments, Ray earned a quick
promotion to the General Transmission Maintenance Group.
Ray Geitka and the other young engineers like him in
Bell Telephone Companies throughout the country help
bring the finest communications service in the world to the
homes and businesses of a growing America.

GRID SELECTIONS
David Cooper of Scott House used forecasting skill not senti-
mentality to pick 16 out of 20 winners in The Daily-sponsored Grid
Picks Contest. He came within 13 points of the Michigan vs. Michi-
gan State game to break a tie with several other predictors. Cooper
missed the Army-Penn State game (who didn't?), Yale and Colum-
bia, Boston College and Syracuse, and Oregon and Rice.
The reward for his precise prognostication is a pair of tickets to
the Michigan Theatre, now playing "Lady and the Tramp," and a
subscription to the Football News.
The beneficent Daily is again offering these prizes t6 the clair-
voyant person who foresees the greatest number of victors in this
coming Saturday's contests. We have compiled another batch of even
contests to perplex you. We did omit the battle for the Big Brown
Waste Basket played between the staffs of The Michigan Daily and
the Michigan Union.

ning bacls," as Elliott called them.
Daugherty concentrated on power
sweepssby tailbacks Sherman Lewis
and Ron Rubick and straight
handoffs to fullback George
Saimes.
"There was nothing different in
the basic patterns, but they did
pull some new plays on us that
worked pretty well, like (wing-
back Dewey) Lincoln on the
double handoff," Elliott comment-
ed.
Lincoln, a former all-stater from
Hantramck, led the Spartans in
rushing with 139 yds. in 7 carries.
One of his reverses would have
gone nearly 70 yds. for a touch-
down but was called back for
clipping.
Time and again MSU backs
would slip tackles and break into
the secondary, but Elliott still
found some good points. "The
tackling wasn't good, but they
were hitting real hard on both
sides," he noted.
Tackles Joe O'Donnell and Tom
Keating and guard Rich Hahn
were standouts on the line, ac-
cording to Elliott.
The team came through an-
other game without serious injury.

Purdue, whom Michigan plays
this week, will be out for revenge
after a 10-7 humiliation at the
hands of Miami of Ohio. -At one
time, the Boilermakers had been
ranked with the best of the Big
Ten.
In last year's battle, the Wolver-
ines won by the margin of a safe-
ty, 16-14. The Boilermakers then
wept on to knock off such stal-
warts as MSU, proving once again
they're the conference's most un-
predictable team.
