The Panel will By BOB McGINN Picture yourself as general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers last spring. Your team has just steamrolled to the NBA title and experts are proclaiming the team that you put together as one of the best in history. What can you do next? If you're Fred Schaus, you quit in order to return to your first love, college coaching. It may sound incredible, but that's how Purdue walked into one of jthe foremost basketball minds around-and unemployed, too. Schaus must enjoy challenges, because before the season began this Boilermaker squad seemed to be going no where. The 1971-72 team, George Kin'slastrcom- piled a mediocre 12-12 record, and the two leading scorers and rebounders, Bill Franklin and Bob Ford, both departed. Schaus would have to be a miracleman if the Riveters hoped to have a shot at even a first division Big Ten finish. Well, nobody has seen the coach walking on water yet, but Purdue has quietly developed in- to the surprise team in the con- ference. Schaus' outfit is one of three undefeated loop teams (2- 0), and their overall mark is an outstanding 9-3. y How in tarnation has Schaus done it? After all, of the Riveters' three returning regulars the lead- ing scorer, Frank Kendrick, only averaged 11 ponts last year. Schaus looks to his defense. "We've done a good job with individual and team defense, and creating offensive opportunities be composed of representatives Office, Office of from the Housing Information Special Services and Programs, and The Envi ron- :,> .:. mental Health Department. CHECK WITH THE HALL DESK FOR TIME & DATES for ourselves because of it," he says. "It's been defense and hustle. We've gotten off 14 more shots a game than our opponents. I like that statistic." But when you glance at Pur- due's stats, the one figure that jumps off the page at you is their scoring average-89.3 ppg. That's eighth best in the nation, not a bad mark for a "defensive" team. The damaging weapons in the Boilers' pro-type, fast break of- fense have been a pair of stand- out front coujrt men, 6-11 sopho- more John Garrett and their 6-6 junior forward Kendrick. Garrett, - who has more than lived up to his "can't miss" label, led the club in scoring all season until he hooped but one lone bucket last Saturday against Northwestern. His figures are 19.5 ppg and nearly 10 rebounds. Schaus uses his big man both high and low, mainly because Garrett is his best shooter from the 15-18 foot range. The squad's top scorer, Ken- drick, is described by Boiler pub- licist Ted Haracz as "a more physical Henry Wilmore of two years ago." A fine one-on-one player who has defensive short- comings, Kendrick has nudged his point average just over 20 and his board figure to 9.2. None of the other three starters average in double digits, but each has a vital role in Schaus' cage philosonhy. A freshman guard from tiny Yorktown, In- dina, has especially been valu- able. Although only scoring 9.6 points a clash, 6-2 Bruce Parkinson has solidified what apoeared to be the Riveters' Achilles heel, the backcourt. He's been on the hard- wood more minutes than any of his teammates and heads the team in an often overlooked cate- gory, assists. Parkinson has 69 already, 20 more than any Purdue cager garnered all last winter. The other backcourt regular, 6-2 senior Dennis Gamauf, has been hindered all year with a bum ankle. He's only received the starting call five times be- cause of it. Perhaps the ace de- fender at guard, Gamauf has shown only limited offensive firepower (5.3 ppg). Another Riveter starter who doesn't score much is 6-6 senior cornerman Jovan Price. His game is quickness and defense. Schaus says of his 180 pound stringbean, "He's so quick that not only are his opponents sur- prised, but so are the officials and opposing coaches." Price owns a scoring mark of 7.3. Because Schaus has his club fast breaking and pressing full- court, his starters seldom play the full 40 minutes. And since he is afstrong believer in having fresh troops in at all times, nine different players have performed in at least 10 of the 13 games, A key reserve up front has been 6-6 soph Jerry Nichols. He's thrown in six points a game, but more importantly has boarded well despite his 175 pound frame. He characterizes Purdue's slen- der frontline, of which Schaus says, "We'll need to be super aggressive every night of Big Ten play to make up for our lack of muscle." However bright the Boiler- maker cage picture, seems at present, Riveter fans are far from talking championship. Pur- due's nine victims have included such nonentities as Indiana State and TCU, while their big- gest triumph is probably the Il- linos win. And the Boilermakers must still journey to Michigan (this Saturday), Minnesota, MSU, and Indiana. But the men of West Lafayette are still a far cry from the team which was picked to finish deep in the Big Ten's second division. Purdue last had a losing season in 1966 and a championship in 1969. Although neither is likely in 1973, a bet on the latter is probably more thoughtful than on the former. iufay Il Sports Icers battle Spartians "THE BEST in the West" will be featured at Michigan's Coliseum tonight, but this time that does not refer to the Maize and Blue. Michigan State's Spartans come to town, leading the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with a 9-2-1 record and 29 points, and boasting a 13-4-1 overall mark. Meanwhile, the Wolverines are still floundering around in the ninth position (in a league in which eight teams qualify for the post-season playoffs), by virtue of their three wins, coupled with 13 defeats. However, Michigan surprised most everyone with its 6-4 win overthen-third place Denver last Fridaypin afour pant affair. But the Pioneers came back to capture Saturday's contest, 8-5, and thereby jump over Wisconsin and into the second spot. Tonight's visitors are led in the scoring column by right wing Michel Chaurest, who currently totals 16 goals and 27 points. Defenseman Bob Boyd follows with 24 points, although his main "forte" isahis tendency to be penalized. In 17 games so far, Boyd has accumulated 81 minutes in the penalty box. Minding the nets for the Green and White is Ron Clark, who currently sports a 3.25 average and has made 353 saves, the second lowest total in the league, which may say something for his defense. Michigan's captain, Rick Mallette, leads the Wolverine point- getters with 23, but from there it's quite a drop to Frank Werner and Angie Moretto, who have 16 each. Werner leads in goal- scoring with nine, followed by Moretto and Gary, Kardos with eight apiece. A bit of the limelight is missng from last year's meetings between these two teams, when the rivalry between cousins Bernie and Gilles Gagnon could be stressed. Michigan's Bernie, since graduated, is now playing in the Western Hockey League, and State's Gilles just recently completed his eligibility at MSU with the expiration of the fall term there. He was State's second leading scorer when he graduated last semester. The two teams split their four games last year, but overall Michigan holds 69-35-1 advantage. ;i i EX-IOWA ASSISTANT: Harbough joins M' grid staff Ann Arbor Expects To Build More Bicycle Paths Soon.

A new face, and personality has come to Michigan's football as Harbough takes his place as de- fensive backfield coach. The 33-year-old, dark-haired new- comer spoke with his gestures as well as his voice, enthusiastically reflecting upon his transfer from Iowa. "The startling and interest- ing aspect (in coaching) is t h e changingfrom oneaschool to ano- ther . . . to begin over," he com- mented. Starting fresh on another campus is not new to Harbough. Before his two years at Iowa as defensive backfield coach, he was an assist- ant for three years at Bowling Green, coached for a number of 1.

Harbough played as a de- fensive back for the Falcons and was a teammate of former offen- sive line coach Larry Smith. Form- er defensive coordinator Jim Young, the new interior line coach Elliot Uzelac, as well as head coach Bo Schembechler all served at Bowling Green under Do y t Perry. Harbough and Schembechler were not strangers before Har- bough arrived in Ann Arbor about two and a half weeks ago but their acquaintance was not born at Bowl- ing Green. As coach at Xenia High School in Ohio, Harbough attend- ed Miami's spring practices where Schembechler coached. As Miami's mentor, Schembech- ler tried to recruit Doug Adams, a protege of Harbough's. Adams went on to play. for Ohio State where he was linebacker on the Buckeye teams of '69 and '70. Harbough served for two years under Iowa coach Frank Lauter- bur and spoke with exceeding re- spect for the Hawkeye mentor. "I was always impressed. He's a tre- mendous handler of men and an enthusiastic individual and that's the reason he'll be successful at Iowa." year. Harbough acknowledged the necessity of playing freshmen at Iowa because of their rebuilding program. He added however, that though freshmen may be "physi- cally capable, they may:not be emotionally prepared" for the pres- sure over two, or three years. Harbaugh, whose position w a s made available when Gary Moeller replaced Young at defensive co- ordinator after Young took t h e head coaching job at Arizona, is "very much impressed" with Mich- igan and the coaching staff,.stating that the 'calibre is first clas in every respect. I hope I 'can make some sort of contribution." The young coach will have the opportunity to apply his , talents March 15 when practice starts prior to the Spring game April 21.
