Johnny loosens up.. . . for the big one tonight -TUSCALOOSA WASN'T REALLY SURE I was in Alabama until I got to the Holiday. Inn last night for the press dinner and the first speaker was none other than Paul "Bear" Bryant. The Bear didn't discuss off-tackle plays and he was very careful not to mention that certain school in South Bend, Indiana that took the national championship away from 'Bama not so long ago. However, Bear did roll out the welcome mat. "I welcome y'awl down to Tuscaloosa an' anythin' we heuh in Alabama can do to make your stay more comfortable, we'll be glad to do." Down here In the heart of Dixie, basketball - especially of the NCAA tournament variety - is no longer something a bunch of guys do In between the fall football season and spring practice. Alabama's fine basketball coach, C. M. New- ton, has put the Tide on the basketball map with two straight 20-victory seasons and a share of the SEC title with Vander- bilt this year. Rebel yells will resound at beautiful Memorial Coliseum to- night, and since Notre Dame will be Michigan's opponent in this evening's 8:05 starter, the Wolverines may have a few sup- porters here. Actually, residents that drive down Lurleen B. Wallace Way or mosey on down from Birmingham have no great love for the state of Michigan, Campy Russell, or the Ann Arbor dope laws, but Michigan did not beat them in the Sugar Bowl and Notre Dame did. Folks down here hold grudges - just look at the Civil War. Although Marquette coach Al McGuire is renowned for his sparkling wit at the lecturn, Michigan's Johnny Orr stole the show at dinner here last night. Smiling and laugh- ing like a kid who just got a new toy, Orr had good-natured barbs for almost everyone in the room. To the delight of the media and coaches present, Orr related some stories about Michigan athletic director Don Canham, who (incidentally) was in the room. "I just 'got my contract renewed by Canham - from thirty days to another year," quipped Johnny. When the laughter sub- sided, he added, "Hell, with Canham, that's tenure!" Orr also told about the problems he and the Michigan entourage were having finding room accommodations here as late as Tuesday morning. "Well, when we called up the Holiday Inn the other day, and asked about Michigan ac- commodations, the girl at the desk replied 'Y'all must have some mistake -- Indiana's going to stay here!", The Wolverines, not the Hoosiers, are indeed in town, and although' no one here can quite believe it yet, they are playing tonight for the right to meet either Marquette or Vanderbilt in the national quarter-finals on Saturday. Notre Dame is a great team and deserves every bit of its third-place ranking in the national polls. The Irish are strong all over, especially in the middle with All-American John Shumate. "Big Shu," a 6-9 240-pound slab of granite, is the man Michigan must stop in order to upset the Fighting Irish. Michigan State nearly toppled Notre Dame last month in East Lansing, and the only reason they came that close was that Shumate was'held to four points in the second half and his muscular board work was limited. This year's Mid-East regional is, as usual, the strongest of the four across the nation, and the team that emerges Saturday will most likely face either UCLA or North Carolina State in Daily Photo by ROLFE TESSEM C.J. KUPEC (41) waits for a rebound against Southern Illinois in Michigan's first game of the season. The Wolverines have come a long way since their initial victory over the Salukis, compiling a 21-4 record and earning a berth in the NCAA Mid-East Regional.
