Page 8-Tuesday, April 3, 1979-The Michigan Daily WORKED WITH ORR FOR FOUR YEARS EMU hires Blue assistant Boyce From Wire Service Reports Jim Boyce, an assistant coach at Michigan for the past four years, was named yesterday to replace Ray Scott as head basketball coach at nearby Eastern Michigan University. Scott was fired March 6 at the end of EMU's disappointing 9-18 season. He coached EMU for three years. Boyce signed a two-year contract for a reported $24,000 per year. The two- year contract is a policy of the univer- sity, instituted last year by the Board of Regents. BOYCE, 42, is a Detroit native and a 1967 graduate of the University of Detroit, where he played varsity basketball. He coached at his alma mater, Detroit Northwestern High School, from 1970 to 1973, compiling a 62-15 aMaiz1ilmues 5tMlANNIVERSARY CONCERT Tuesday April 3 TckeC. 16 - i 4 ; . ._,. " .- record. After coaching for a year at Detroit, Boyce moved to his job at Michigan. "I felt this particular job would be a super situation for me," Boyce said at a morning news conference. "It was close, in the area where I've lived all my life and worked all my jobs, and I know a lot of people in this area." DESPITE POOR facilities and the lack of a winning tradition, Boyce promised to put his nose to the grin- dstone in his efforts to turn the program around. "I hope to get to .500 next season," Boyce said. "We want to establish stability in the program and create in- terest in a basketball team. We want people to know Eastern is on the way up., "My main goal is in two to three years to make this job one of the best in the country and to make Eastern Michigan competitive with the best MEDICAL~ SCHOOL August '79 applicants, 4-year fully recognized and established Mexican Medical School, with several hundred American students enrolled.

BOYCE'S PREDECESSOR had been severely criticized for his inability to successfully recruit blue-chip basket-, ball talent during his stay at EMU. "It's late," Boyce said, acknowledging his lagging position in the recruiting race. "It takes time to get established, to get to know the player's parents, establish a love affair and get a name on a dotted line. "It's going to be difficult, but we'll get some good students first, and basketball players second. I'm looking for players with a strong commitment to Eastern and the program. "I'm going to have a team meeting as soon as possible," he said, "and talkto each returning player individually." Boyce said that in order to be commit- ted to the program, the players would have to make some sacrifices. ,:::*.:::v.{}:}}i::.{.. ..... vv,,.... ....'4:":{"}. Gaines named coachi .L at San Diego State SAN DIEGO (AP) - San Diego State is turning over its faltering basketball fortunes to flamboyant Dave "Smokey" Gaines, a one-time Harlem Globetrotter with a 47-10 record as head coach at the University of Detroit. The choice to succeed Tim Vezie, who was fired after five years, came down to either the 38-year-old Gaines, Bobby Dye of Fullerton J State or LaDell Anderson of Utah State. Gaines was considered better at promotion, an official at San Diego State said. Despite a 13,000-seat arena, only 400 season tickets were sold to Aztecgames in 1978-79. "This is entertainment - this is show business," Gaines commen- ted to reporters after arriving to be interviewed. He was an assistant to Dick Vitale when the pair began in Detroit five years ago. In an interview Gaines said "If I can get kids to come to an inner- city school like Detroit, I know I can sell 'em on San Diego." "We're going to run and press and shoot," he said. "We'll be ex- citing. The whole state's going to have Aztec fever. All I can say is, ยข 'Look out'UCLA and USC'." Gaines, who is black, said "in entertainment, they don't look at your color. Besides, you're talking to a man who can relate to anyone. I can get along with a dead man as long as he don't move." ... :" :zsr++.::::.. . ..s.. :":>< r, : ;..^" ", Jim Bo vce No shoii By TOM GILCHRIST The "showdown" everyone had been waiting for never even came about for the Michigan men's tennis team this past weekend in Lexington, Kentucky. Though the Wolverines crushed Kentucky's Wild- cats on Saturday, 9-0, the Florida Gators, a conten- ding power from the Southeastern Conference and Michigan's opponent on Sunday, never showed up. Due to adverse weather conditions the Florida team, which had played Vanderbilt in Nashville on Saturday and had begun to fly to Lexington on Satur- day night, had to turn around because the Lexington airport was closed on account of a pelting rain. THUS, FOR better or for worse, the Wolverines, with number one singles player Jeff Etterbeek out with a bad ankle (he is expected to be in action this Friday at Illinois) and dud Shaufler fighting back problems, didn't have to duel the Gators, who were expected to provide Michigan with its first real test of the young season. But considering the way Michigan manhandled Kentucky on Saturday, perhaps Florida might have been better off staying in Nashville. In what Coach Brian Eisner termed "our best overall performance as a team this year," the un- defeated Blue netters (4-0) captured every set but one in recording their second shutout in a row. T9 Blue netters' big match * with Floridaz NUMBER ONE singles player Matt Horwitch, for- ced up a notch to take the injured Etterbeek's place, dominated Kentucky's Tony Alrow for an easy win, 6- 1, 6-1. Eisner felt Horwitch played "one of his finest matches in his two years at Michigan." In number two singles action, Michigan's Mike Leach eked out a 7-6, 7-6 victory over Scott Webb, while number three man Jud Shaufler easily disposed of the Wildcats' Jud Brown. Number four Peter Osler also won easily in two sets over his opponent; fifth- fashed out slated Jack Neinken survived a third-set tie-breaker, Ihor DeBryn, seeing competitive action for the first time this season, took a two-set win over his Ken" tucky counterpart. The Michigan number one doubles team of Leach and Shaufler beat Alrow and Bob Worley of Kerb tucky, while Osler and Neinken in the second doubles slot and Horwitch and DeBryn at number three doubles both posted easy two-set wins. YET WHAT DO all these wins mean? Is Michigan,,. rated 15th in the nation, that strong a tennis team, or can it be that Kentucky was just that weak? Takirig nothing away from the Wolverines, they still haven: t faced a real"power" this spring. Eisner admitted Kentucky has suffered several key losses, including injuries to two quality- stariting players, which forced the 'Cats to fill in the missing slots with freshmen, but he also commented that Michigan is "much stronger than last year" and feels his squad is "underrated" as far as the national polls go. It's really too early to tell. Michigan, rated by far the highest of all Big Ten teams, is shooting for its 12th conference title in a row. The chase begin Friday in Champaign against Illinois, a team which traditionally has given the Blue netters a tough mat- ch.

A sophomore clean-up act. Sue Weber and Kathy Krickstein have mopped up on every opponent they've faced this season. Weber is 10-0 and Krickstein 7-0 from their second and fifth singles slots, respectively. And Coach Theo Shepherd sees no reason why their undefeated streaks can't continue. "Sue is a very steady backcourt player and has a very good serve. She doesn't come to net too often, but she works on it in practice," Shepherd said. KRICKSTEIN, who as a freshwoman compiled a 14-3 record at second and third singles, is coming off of an ankle injury and hasn't reached the top of her game, according to Shepherd. Krickstein is also 5-0 in doubles, coupled with yetaanother sophomore, co-captain Whit Stodghill. "You've got to give John Atwood (last year's coach) the credit for recruiting those three sophomores," said Shepherd. Stodghill (8-1) at third singles, and junior co-captain Kathy Karzen (7-2) at first singles have also cleaned up their share of opponents. One of Karzen's losses came in Michigan's 7-2 victory over MSU in the first month of the season against Deb- bie Mascarin. But Coach Shepherd said that Karzen could turn the tables on Mascarin. "It's always close when they play. She got behind early and couldn't quite catch up," said Shepherd. "If she could get a better start, she'd have a good chance.", SHEPHERD SAID that the outcome of the match should be no different from the first, "although they'll be out for us, and we may be a little overcon- fident." A slight dent in Michigan's lineup could occur if senior Barb Fischley is unable to play fourth singles. She is currently hampered with the flu and may sit out. If so, Shepherd said that Krickstein and junior Ann Kercher will each move up a notch and junior Debbie Rentschler will play sixth singles. When Eastern Michigan hosts the Wolverines on Thursday at 3:15, most of Michigan's clean-up crew will be given the day off in singles, according to Shepherd. She said that a lot of other players will see action because EMU "is not up to par with the top teams in the Big Ten." Today's contest against the Spartans is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on the Ferry Field Courts, weather permitting. If not, the match will be moved indoors to the Track and Tennis Building.

The insults were abundant, as were fond remembrances and season-ending tributes last night, as Michigan wrap- ped up this year's basketball season with its annual basketball bust in Crisler Arena. SENIOR CENTER Phil Hubbard and sophomore guard Marty Bodnat walked off with all the trophies at thl annual affair. Hubbard was named t0 recipient of the Most Valuable Player award, along with the best defensie player award. Bodnar was also a double winne, receiving the most improved playet award, in addition to picking up hii second consecutive hustler award, the same trophy Bodnar received in 1978. Hubbard, who has one year of eligibility left, won the MVP award in 1977 when he led the Wolverines to an NCAA tournament berth and a number one UPI regular season rating. Bodnar, whd led the Big Ten this year in field goal shooting percentage, is the only person other than Steve Grote to win the hustler award, created in honor '. the former Michigan sparkplug in 1977.- ALSO HONORED were departing seniors Alan Hardy and co-captain Tom Staton. The two began their Michigan careers the year of the Wolverines' rush to the NCAA final against Indiana' A special tribute was paid to former Blue assistant coach Jim Boyce by the graduating Hardy, who cited the new EMU head coach as one of the maim reasons for his signing with Michigan, Boyce, who served as the Wolverines' top recruiter for four years, admitted happily that he hoped the Wolverines would win all their games but three over the next four years.
