DESPITE BRADY'S ABSENCE Michigan cage outlook bright By RANDY PHILLIPS Exuberant sports fans must have been in a state of euphoria just about a week and a half ago. Why? Any one of them could have chosen to view any of a wide range of ongoing ath- letic endeavors including T h e World Series in baseball, pro hockey, pro basketball, tennis, and of course, football. Such an overlap of sports is not as pronounced at Michi- gan, but still just as the foot-. ball season passes the midway mark the Wolverine basketball team has begun to prepare for its own season. Coming off a surprisingly good 18-16 season and a second place conference finish, the Wol- verines have high hopes of con- tinuing their upward climb to regain national prominence. The major basis for this op- timism is 6-3/2 forward Henry Wilmore. Wilmore, as a sopho- more, broke all kinds of records for a first year varsity player while pouring in over 20 points a game and pulling in over 10 re- bounds a contest. Less publicized and less pro- lific in point production are two other important returning cogs, senior Wayne Grabiec and jun- ior center Ken Brady. However, Brady at 6-9 has been lost for at least the non- conference portion of the sched- ule due to a knee injury incur- red while he was getting out of his car. Brady's importance is hard to measure in terms of statistics since his mere presence often in- fluences the flow of play by the opposing team. And his ten-plus rebounds per game gave t h e Wolverines the big man to start the fast break working. Michi- gan coach Johnny Orr echoes this concern for Brady's loss, "It will definitely hurt our rebound- G ridde Picklings We Rent to 21 Year-Olds and Up STARTING AT $5.00 PER DAY & Sc PER MILE fK Complete Collision & Painting.

Coffee will be served BRADFORD PERKINS Chairman The 1971 edition of the uac muggers took the field Sunday against the undefeated-for-all-time purple and pure Daily Libel Gridiron Machine. As usual, the odious muggers sent out a blatant collection of heavily-bearded, burly ringers: one mountain-like grid- der was tentatively identified as Rocko Cowsnofski, a former All- World lineman at Brooklyn School for the Criminally Demented. But as usual, it was veni, vidi, muggi as the powerful Libels blew the slimy muggers off Wines Field and back in to their dens under the ground. After the Libels had amassed something like 684 points, the few muggers remaining on the field rolled over on their stomachs and begged for a flailing. "Anything, but just let us go home and drown our shame in bat-slime," whimpered one broken mugger. Every single stout-hearted Libel performed magnificently: Gor- illa Greer hugged pass after pass to his brutal body, Sugarfoot Olin fell down a lot, Nebulous Noveck scampered hare-like through the befuddled mugger secondary, and on and on, through names which read like a Football Hall of Fame. Up to now, none of the shamed muggers has dared show his puss on campus, due both to Sunday's crushing Libel victory and the anemic sales of this year's abominable homecoming concerts. But ing. Defense will be very diffi- cult not having a big guy." But the Wolverines are n o t letting this turn of events dampen their hopes - and with good reason. Ernie Johnson, a pretty big 6-8 junior, played some at center and forward last season, and is expected to fill in at the center post. Johnson showed occasional sparks of ex- cellent' play last season, but has to avoid some of the costly er- rors he made as a sophomore. At only 200 pounds, Johnson may have some problems against heftier centers. Orr doesn't think that the loss of Brady wil change his f a s t style of play. "We won't alter the way we play. We will be faster, and quicker although cer- tainly not very big." Team captains Grabiec and little-Dave Hart, 5-8, will open practice as the leading candi- dates at guard. Grabiec towers over most other guards at 6-4 and is known for his deadly out- side shot. Hart played the back- up to graduated Dan Fife and Grabiec last season. Depth seems to be no prob- lem at guard since several play- ers up from the freshman squad could challenge for one of the backcourt positions. Sophs Sam Brady, Mike Weaver, and Terry Tyler appear to have a good chance to oust one of the re- turnees, along with lettermen Leon Roberts and Greg Boss. With Grabiec's size, Orr has suggested that there might be occasions where he would "shift Grabiec and Wilmore at guard and forward." Wilmore did play guard part of the time as a freshman. Orr has not decided on who will take over the ball handling chores owned by Fife last year. Most likely.the task will be di- vided between the two guards and Wilmore. The forward spot opposite that held down by Wilmore is still being contested. Junior J o h n Lockard will be given first shot at the position, and although only 6-5 he can really rebound. Last year his main problems were floor errors and outside shooting as he spelled graduated Rod Ford. Pressing Lockard will be senior Steve Bazelon. The first few days of prac- tice emphasize conditioning. Orr says it's "just to see how they're going." He added, "Ba- sically we're in pretty good shape, especially the older play- ers." A long tough season awaits the Wolverines especially in the Big Ten where defending title hold- er Ohio State, Minnesota, and Purdue should provide for stiff competition. 4 next Sunday, the brutal yet boyish march to victory, over the slithering rip-off U-Cellar.

Palmer College, a school of chiropractors, dislocated a nor- mally high scoring Blue attack with well placed kicks on their way to a 7-3 victory over Mich- igan in Chicago this weekend, one of two Wolverine losses this weekend. Michigan had been waiting for another chance at Palmer after a 14-11 loss last year. After Pal- mer won the Windsor tourna- ment over Labor Day, a Mich- igan victory would have firmly established Michigan as one of the most outstanding teams in the Midwest. But with the loss, the age old theme of wait until next year prevails. However, despite the loss, Michigan has nothing to be ashamed of. The fixture w a s hard fought and well played by both teams. Palmer committed very few knock ons which allowed them r to consistently move the b a 11 forward. Michigan was again plagued by mishandling the ball, once they drove close to the Palmer goal line. Nonetheless, a stubborn Blue defense redeemed the offense's mistakes with un- penetrable goal line stands of its own. The Michigan scoring attack was also hindered by injuries. Pete Hooper, Michigan's second leading scorer, pulled up lame in the first half with a pulled groin muscle. Ron Smith, t h e Blue's outstanding wing, suf- fered a severely strained ankle, and thus Michigan lost his breakaway speed. Consequently, the Wolverines had to rely on the forwards not only to get the ball in the scrummages and rucks, but also to move t h e ball. The Michigan Blue also play- ed Chicago this weekend, losing 15-0. The Lions faced a demoralized Michigan team. Michigan h a d thrashed Chicago 34-0 earlier in the season, but the Blue t h is time were unable to muster any momentum. Moreover, . since Michigan was playing Palmer in Chicago, (Palmer College is in Iowa), Chicago had asked at the last moment to play Michi- gan again, since the game had not been scheduled earlier. The Michigan Blue now have a record of 5-3. The Gold, who also lost this weekend, are 5-2, while the Maize at 4-2. Read and Use Daily Classifieds 11 This weekend the ruggers will play host to three teams. The Blue will battle the Indiana Hoosiers at 1:30 on Palmer Field. Indiana, a team that has lost several experienced players this year, should provide stiff com- petition to Michigan. The Gold will play the Indiana "B" team while the Maize will meet Wind- sor at 12:00. Vida cops Cy Young 4 presents spring Break in Spain-$219 Air- craft DC-8 FIt.

The 22-year-old Blue, who blazed his way to a 17-3 record at the midseason All-Star break, then tailed off to finish at 24-8, became the youngest player ever to win the premier pitching award. Dean Chance, then of the Los Angeles won it at 23 in 1964. Blue, who led the league with eight shutouts and a miagnificent 1.82 earned run average, landed 14 of the 24 first-place votes in the Baseball Writers Association of -America balloting. He was also the onlyv pitcher named on all 24 ballots, accumu- lating 98 points, 13 more than Mickey Lolich of the Detroit Ti- gers, who received nine first-place votes and appeared on all but one of the ballots.
