Braves from making him their
choice as the NBA's No. 2 pick.
The Braves apparently were
ready to go to war with Virginia
for rights to the coveted McAdoo.
Davis, the 6-7 star of Houston
University, was selected No. 3 by
the Cleveland Cavaliers despite a
scouting report that "the only
thing he knows about basketball
is that the ball is round." Davis;
nevertheless, was the motivating
force of the cougars and has been
{ compared favorably to NBA star
Elvin Hayes.
Rookie guard John Roche
scored 32 points last night, lead-
ing the New York Nets to a
101-96 triumph over the Ken-
tucky Colonels and a 4-2 vic-
tory in their American Basket-

sion s e m i f i n a I best-of-seven

Another big man was selected
next when the Phoenix Suns
latched onto guard-forward Corky
Calhoun of Penn, considered by
some to be the sleeper of the first
round picks. Calhoun's star qual-

ity talents were woven into the
Quakers' team style of play. Phoe-
nix got the No. 4 choice in a trade
with Houston.
Freddie Boyd, the Oregon State
star, was the first pure guard se-
lected by the NBA. He was picked
by the backcourt-depleted Phila-
delphia 76ers and Marshall for-
ward Russell Lee then was picked
by the Milwaukee Bucks, who got
an extra first - round choice
through a trade.

a 6-5 guard - forward with Kan-

Detroit, picking in Phoenix'
spot, grabbed center Bob Nash
of Hawaii, and the Boston Celtics
picked up guard Paul Westphal of
Southern Cal. Chicago and Mil-
waukee then dipped into the ABA,
grabbing two players whose classes

Ralph Simpson of the Denver
Rockets and the Bucks chose Ju-
lius Erving of Virginia. Both left
school early to join the pros as
hardship cases.
Kentucky State's Travis Grant,

the best shooter among the col-
legians, was the last selection on
the first round. He was taken by
the Los Angeles Lakers.

eye opener today


By FRANK LONGO
Looking for a badly-needed
break in the weather. the Mich-
igan baseball team will try again
today to open its home season
when the Wolverines host Cen-
tral Michigan in a' doublehead-
er at Fisher Stadium starting at
1 p.m.
The 1972 regular schedule was
supposed to open last Tuesday
in Detroit, but cold weather and
poor field conditions caused the
cancellation of that game. Dou-
bleheaders last weekend with
Detroit and Eastern Michigan
were also "frozen" out, those
games having since been re-
scheduled for May 8 and April
25, respectively.

Sophomore Dave Elliott is
scheduled to be released from Uni-
versity Hospital this morning fol-
lowing successful knee surgery last
Thursday.
Elliott, a safety on the Michigan
football team, had cartilage re-
moved from both sides of his left
knee. He sustained the injury two
weeks ago during a Wolverine
practice session.
Before suffering the injury. El-
liott had been switched from
short-side halfback to safety. The
operation will shelve him for the
remainder of the spring drills.'
While losing the valuable exper-
ience at the new position t4at he
would have gained this spring, El-
Aott is still optimistic.
'I'll be ready to go'in the fall. I
feel pretty good right now; they

Two other gridders who are
working their way back into shape
after they, too, had knee opera-
tions, Clint Spearman and Bob
Thornbladh, both seem to be well
on their way toward complete re-
covery.

But with highs in the mid-
50's predicted for this after-
noon, accompanied by clear skies
and a 10 per cent chance for
precipitation, it looks like Mich-
igan baseball is about to get un-
der way.
The Chippewas have won 36
and 35 games their last two
years, and last June they were
the runners-up in the NCAA
college division world series.
Second-year coach Dave Kiel-
itz was pleased with his team's
performance earlier this year on
an 11 game spring trip, but ad-
mits that the hitting needs some
additional work.
"That was the only real prob-
lem on the trip," said Kielitz.
We left 75 men stranded while
we were respectable with the
bat. The trouble was we just
couldn't get the hits when we
needed them. That's something
we have to work on."
Central finished the trip with
six victories and four losses,
with one tie game called after
ten innings because of darkness.
The Chips are traditionally
paced by strong pitching and
base running, and these facets
of the game lived up to expecta-
tions on the trip. CMU stole 45
bases in the 11 games to the op-

By ROGER ROSSITER
The Michigan rugby football
club has finished one of its most
successful spring seasons in pre-
paration for the upcoming tourna-
ments. The Blue compiled an im-
pressive 4-0 record. The Gold post-
ed a 3-1 mark, while the Maize
racked up two unanswered vic-
tories.
The Blue ruggers were impres-
sive despite the fact that their
competition was sub-par. The sea-
son opener was the roughest one
of the four games. Notre Dame, a
team which some rugby clubs have
erased from their schedules be-
cause of their dirty play, rough-
housed Michigan for three quar-'
ters of the game, but the Irish
became exhausted from their ex-
tracurricular activities late in the
game and were overcome by Mich-
igan's determination 26-19. Mich-
igan suffered three broken noses,
numerous late tackles, but man-
aged to control their tempers to
capitalize on the breaks.
The following weekend the Blue
allowed one early score to the
Cleveland Blues before starting
their streak of five consecutive
halves without allowing a single
ppint to be scored against them.
The Cleveland game marked the
start of Michigan's heads-up loose
rucking. Michigan's determination
in the loose rucks and mauls per-
mitted them to virtually own the
ball for the next three games,
The unfortunate aspect of the
spring season was the poor physi-
cal conditioning of Michigan's op-
ponents, while the Blue were phys-
ically prepared. The 46-0 pasting
of Toronto was a prime example.
Michigan was able to run at will
with excellent support from the
forwards.
"I think that the Cleveland
game was a crucial test of our
ability," said club president Chuck
Drukis, . "once our forwards dis-
covered that if they went hard
after the loose ball they were big
and strong enough to intimidate
the opposition off the ball."
The ruggers were hoping for a

8 1
"Overall it was a pretty goodl
match. It was very decisive all
down the line, I had expected a
closer score." commented Coach
Brian Eisner, following the match.
Michigan won all six singles
matches, losing only the number
one doubles match by a dis;-
pointing 7-5, 6-3 set score. "It
was quite an upset," commented
Dick Ravreby.
Ravreby and his partner, Joel
Ross, were hurt by double faults,
and strong performances by Bus-

NCAA's. Last year the same Fight-
in' Irish doubles team had a 19-5
record.
In the premier match of the
day, Michigan's defending Big
Ten champion Joel Ross defeated
Brown in the number one singles
6-4, 6-2. It was a good comeback
for Ross who had lost to Minne-
sota's Jim Ebbitts last Thursday.
"I'm glad we're back outside
again, I feel a lot better than I
did at Minnesota. This was my re-
venge against Brown, he beat me
when we went down there last
year," commented Ross.
Ross started out shaky, losing
the first two games, but then
came on to win five straight
games and eventually the set. The
second set he had little trouble
winning 6-2.,
In perhaps the closest match
of the day, ailing Kevin Senich
defeated Rob Schefter in the num-
ber four singles 6-3, 7-5. In the
second set Shefter had Senich
down 4-3, but Senich, with his
slow methodical play, took Shef-
ter to 11 deuces and finally won
the game. That proved to be the
turning point as he then went on
to win the set and the match.
The other Wolverines had little
trouble, as Michigan failed to lose
a set in singles competition. Num-
ber two and three, Jeff Miller and
Dick Ravreby, defeated their ep-
ponents by 6-2, 6-2 and 6-2, 6-3
scores. Number four Tim Ott de-
feated Brandon Walsh 6-2, 6-2,
and Jerry Karzen, the number-six
man, beat John Carrico 6-1, 6-2.
In doubles, the number two
team of Miller and Karzen defeat-

Carrico 6-1, 6-3 in the number
three doubles slot.
The players were all happy to
be outside. Jerry Karzen com-
mented, "It sure beats wood, the
I.M. building is not the most ideal
place to play." Several said it was
the best weather they had had so
far this year. The matches against
Minnesota and Iowa during the
weekend were played indoors be-
cause of the weather.
- Eisner added, "We need about
another two weeks outdoors be-
fore we feel really sharp, but it
was a good team performance, an
improvement over our Minnesota
match, and I'm very happy."
The tanned Notre Dame team
had just returned from a 16 day
trip to Mexico where they played
in the Club Deportivo Potosino In-
vitational Tournament. However,;
one member of the team expressed
some dissatisfaction because they
didn't get much time to practice
there. The Irish defeated Wiscon-
sin 6-3 Sunday before coming to
Ann Arbor. ,

good game from Miami of Ohio,
but the strong competition never
materialized. Undefeated Miami
had beaten Florida State and two
Atlanta rugby clubs before they
were outclassed by the Blue. Since
the game was played on an ex-
tremely wet and muddy field, it
was difficult to tell whether Mich-
igan was really that good or if
Miami was just that bad.
For the first time this season
Michigan's backs worked as a
unit. Most of Michigan's scores
were set up by excellent faking by
the backs to draw the opposition
out of position for the score.
The spring season was also ac-
cented by the remarkably good
teamwork and high spirit of the
club. Much of the complaining
and poor attitudes that plagued
the club did not appear when the
going got tough.
The ruggers hope that the suc-
cess they have enjoyed so far this
spring is only an omen of things
to, come as they prepare for the
Big Ten and the National Colle-
giate Rugby Tournaments.
