thumb against Toledo. And in the
time he did play he was ineffective
due to the injury. The 6-4 junior
playmaker scored .19 against the
Rockets in the opener, hitting sev-

ing status for tonight is doubtful.
The most potent member of the
Huron arsenal is super - soph
George Gervin. The lanky 6-7 De-
troiter, who leads the squad in
scoring with 61 points so far,
packs a mere 170 pounds on his
long frame. His lack of weight
poses problems, limiting his ability
to fight it out with the 'bigger
fellas' under the boards.
Eastern Coach James Dutcher
has said that Gervin is the best
sophomore he has ever coached.
And that includes three of his
athletes who have gone on to play
in the pros.

NIGHT EDITOR:
BILL ALTERMAN
Wolverine Ernie Johnson will be
assigned the task of guarding Ger-
vin unless Gervin does go to
guard, in which case Wayne Gra-
biec may take over. As a rule, how-
ever, "Johnson always draws the
tough defensive assignment," said
Coach Snowden.
Starting at center for Eastern
Michigan will be 6-6 senior, Earl
Dixon. Dixon played poorly against
Toledo, but last week against Pur-
due he pumped for 25 points and
13 rebounds.
Michigan will be starting, the
same five they've been going with
all year; that is, Wilmore and
Johnson at forward, John Lock-
ard at center, and Dave Hart and
Wayne Grabiec at the guards.
The Wolverine starters have
been spreading the scoring around
quite a bit as four of the five have
been in double figures in each of
the two games.
Overall, the game should be
fairly close, and the Wolverines'
ability to put it away early will
depend on shutting off Gervin.
As Coach Snowden aptly put the
game in its proper perspective,
"Last year we weren't sharp for
the game, coming off of the three
losses (to then top ten members
Notre Dame, Duke, and Kentucky).
but this year the game will be a
good one to watch. We're ready
and the squad has a real good at-
titude."
Coach, that makes all the dif-
ference.

Michigan's freshmen cagers go

preliminary basketball game. This
time it is the Hurons of E astern

towards an undefeated season. "
The baby Hurons come to Crisler

ing lost their only game this sea-
son to Toledo, 64-55. Against the
Rockets, the only players to score
in double figures were 6-7 center

players slated to start against the

Needless to say, Coach Dick
Honig was quite pleased with the
outcome of the game. "That's a
very good freshman team we
beat," he said. "They're going to
beat a lot of teams this season."
The hottest Wolverine of all is
guard Joe Johnson. In the two
games the frosh have played he

fantastic 22 of 36 shots from the

to dazzle the Michigan fans with

the Wolverines to victory against
WMU.
An optimistic Honig expects even
better things from the frosh.
"Everything is going well," he
said, "but we still have room for
improvement. We haven't even
neared our potential."
Anything can happen'in the
freshmen rivalry between Michigan
and EMU. But if the Baby Blue
do reach their potential tonight,
they should walk off the court with
their third victory in the bag.

ORLANDO, Fla. (P) - "Not a'

said with a big grin after he had
pushed his money winnings for
the year to a record $244,490.50.
Nicklaus wrapped up pro golf's
leading money winning title yes-

running three stroke triumph in
the new, $150,000 Walt Disney

The victory, his fifth on the
American tour this year, was
worth $30,000 to the famed Gold-
en Bear and vaulted him past
weary Lee Trevino in the race for
the prestigious money title.
Trevino had held the lead by
some $15,000 going into this event
but complained of being "punchy
tired, mentally beat," finished in
a tie for 21st and won $1,425. That
gave him a total of $231,201.97 for
the year, also well past Nicklaus
