I The Michigan Daily-Friday, December 7, 1979-Page 11 ROSE NEEDS FOUR MORE: Joe Barry is the Boilermakers By ALAN FANGER Purdue coach Lee Rose wants his team to work the ball inside to center Joe Barry Carroll this 'season. Defen- sively, he thinks Joe Barry Carroll can regulate traffic near the basket, forcing opponents to shoot outside. He also believes Big Ten foes will defense his team by sagging in on Joe Barry Carroll. A quick examination of Rose's philosophy might indicate that the 7-1 senior pivotman and defending con- ference scoring champ is the do-all and end-all of Boilermaker basketball. And that's exactly the myth Rose is out to explode this season. Purdue grabbed a share of the Big Ten title last year, largely on the efforts of Carroll (23.8 ppg) and guard Jerry Sichting (13.8), a tremendous shooter and ballhandler who has since graduated. Now Rose faces the difficult job of replacing Sichting, while, at the same time, molding a starting unit which can adequately support his All- american in the middle. "At the moment, we're like a car without a key," said the Boilermaker coach. "We've tried a lot of different things so far to fill the void. Replacing Jerry will be impossible, but we'll keep trying different combinations." "Last year we had two bullets, with Jerry and Joe Barry, and this year it looks like we're going to have just one bullet," said assistant coach Everett Bass, echoing Rose's sentiments. "Joe The Big Ten: Basketball Battleground Barry is going to score and take the ball inside, as he always has, but we're going to have to come up with some out- side scoring if we're to be competitive." As a start in the right direction, Rose has encouraged junior guard Brian Walker to increase his scoring output. Walker averaged only 4.3 points per game in a starting role last season. "He (Walker) was an outstanding scorer in high school," said Bass. "His role at Purdue mainly has been to pass the ball to Sichting and Carroll. This year, Brian will have to score more for us." The backcourt worries haven't sub- sided, however. Following a desperate search for another guard, Rose finally tabbed 6-5 sophomore Keith Edmonson to start alongside Walker. "It's safe to say that we don't have a starter at that position right now," said Bass. "We're very concerned about that. We feel that if we don't get it remedied, we're going to have a hard time in our conference.'' Affairs in the pivot area certainly need not be remedied. Carroll has already garnered several pre-season All-American honors, and is "shooting the ball much better," according to Bass. "I don't think we can get Joe Barry any more offensive opportunities than we did last year," said the pessimistic Rose. "Our whole program is geared to go inside; we go inside as much as we can. That isn't going to change." It hasn't taken long for Carroll to showcase his improvement; he poured in 41 points as the Boilermakers over- whelmed Southeastern Louisiana, 105- 59, Wednesday night. Rose is counting on forwards Drake Morris and Arnette Hallman to provide Carroll with some offensive help. The pair averaged only 16 points collec- tively last year, while combining for an average of eight rebounds. With the backcourt situation somewhat clouded, the former North Carolina-Charlotte mentor is prepared to move the 6-5 Morris to guard and move either Mike Scearce or Steve Walker into a forward slot. Scearce was a top reserve last year, averaging nearly seven points a game coming off the bench. "You may see four guards out there with Joe Barry, or you may see four forwards and Joe Barry," said Bass, leaving no secret as to Carroll's value to the team. Of course, the main concern of Rose, the team, and the Boilermakers is the assistance the Denver giant will receive from the other four players who are chosen to be his supporting cast. This is the eighth in a series of profiles of Michigan's nine Big Ten opponents, which have been written by staff writers Stan Bradbury, Alan Fanger, and Mark Mihanovic.

"We'll definitely be better than last year. It's possible we'll have two or three girls qualify for the nationals. We have about one person in each event that's good." The weight events are going to be a see more sports, pp. 12, 13, and 14 weak point for the Wolverines this season. "Debbie Williams can put the shot forty feet or so, but after that we have nothing," noted Simmons. IN THE SPRINTS, however, sophomore Catherine Sharpe, a proven sprinter, should fare well with her 11.8 speed for 100 meters. Frosh Brenda Kaziner will bolster the efforts of the speedsters, having personal bests of 10.6 for the 100 yards and 24.2 for the 220. In the hurdles, sophomore Renee Turner looks to be tops on the squad this season. The long jump is another strong point, with sophomore Lori Thornton leading the team with a best leap of 19'71/2". "She's had several practice jumps over 19' this week," commented Simmons. Sophomore Nanette Fileccia has jumped over 17' and should im- prove this season, as well. The middle and long distances are promising, though more depth is needed. "I'm still looking for one or two good distance runners," says Simmons. In the 880, freshperson Sue Frederick has run 2:11 and could get close to 2:00 this year; sophomore Dawn Woodruff has run 2:17. Frosh Melanie Weaver is the standout distance runner, coming off a sterling cross-country season and having recently run a 5:08 mile in prac- tice. Lynn Fudala also had a good cross-country season, and will help to shore up the Wolverine distance corps. PIONEER H.S. grad Joanna Bullard will provde a boost in the high jump, having had several performances in the 5'5" to 5'6" range; she was the Class A champ in this event her junior year at Pioneer. "We have a real team feeling that we didn't have last year. We don't have The ATHL.E'S SHOP COURT SHOES by Adidas, Nike, and Tretorn. 35 STYLES much depth, but we should do well in the dual and triangular meets," Sim- mons concluded.
