Saturday, January 20, 1973 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Paige Seven Saturday, January 20, 1973 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Blazing boilers test Blue By BOB McGINN Who would ever have thought that a nopponent known for its "run and gun" style would present a contrast fo a Johnny Orr-coached team? Probably not many, but today in Crisler Arena at 2' P.M. that's exactly what happens to be tak- tk ing shape as the undefeated up- starts from West, Lafayette, the Purdue Boilermakers, (2-0), take on the Big Ten leaders, Michigan. These two time-honored foes have put on some blazing scoring derbies over the years, but if first year Riveter coach Fred Schaus has anything to say about it, to- morrow's duel for the conference lead could be the most freewheel- ing of all. "Right now we don't have that super player like Michigan has," slow things down, though. But if * given the opportunity, we'll go al ii'with it ourselves." It is his final addendum that threatens to make this game look. like something straight out of the late 60's. And it isn't just talk.

As Orr puts it,! { ! "Gosh, never in our wildest dreams $ did we think we'd beat both Ohio IfState and Michigan State on the road." They did though, andmuch of k..the credit has to go to Orr 's 1-2-2y zone defense.

Should he go deep, the responsibility falls on Ken Brady and Ernie Johnson. Kendrick, meanwhile, is a gifted one-on-one player whose talents may be severely blunted by the zone. Other Boilermaker starters fig- ure to be 6-2 freshman Bruce Par- kinson (9.6 ppg), termed by Pur- due publicist Ted Haracz as "the key to our season," 6-2 senior play- maker Dennis Gamauf (5.3), and 6-7 senior stringbean Jovon Price (7.3). Two winters ago Price had a horrendous time of it in Crisler Arena (0 for 8 from the floor, 0 for 3 at the line.) Schaus would like to try a man- to-man against Michigan, but is apprehensive about the match-ups. "We'revery concerned about their two superstars, Wilmore and Rus- sell. We're thinking seriously of putting Price, our best defender, on Wilmore and going with a guard on Russell." Whatever he decides to do, the Wolverines haven't been staying up nights figuring out a way to score points. "We'll get a good shot every time against this out- fit," Dutcher said. A factor in this contest which may work against Michigan is their lack of depth in the back- court. Only Greg Buss remains from the stable of guards Orr had available earlier. John Kant- ner transferred, and junior Terry Tyler will minss his second straight game due to temporary ineligibility. He had several in- completes last semester, and his status for the remainder of the campaign won't be known until Monday. In today's second vital Big Ten clash, Minnesota (1J1) visits Indi- ana (2-0). Other league encounters find Iowa (1-3) at- Ohio State (0-2), in a battle of disappointing teams, and MS'U otwnys.,toWisconsin (0-3). Illinois (2-1) and Northwes- tern (0-2) are idle.

TOM'S VICTORIOUS Pioneers trounce rival Hurons i".day in Sports By CHUCK BLOOM A 33-point outburst by senior guard Keith Curry, including 16 in the third quarter, led Ann Ar- bor Pioneers ,top-ranked Michigan schoolboy team, to an 87-62 win over cross-town rival Huron High last night. Curry, a 5-11 track star for the Pioneers, garnered 16 of his team's 20 points in the third stan- za with spectacular drives and arching 25-foot jumpers. Curry took up the scoring slack as All-Stater Bob Elliott managed only 13 points. Forwards Kent Storey and Tom Schneeberger tal- lied 17 and 10 markers, respective- IX,. Schneeberger led the Pioneers to a first quarter 26-19 lead with eight points as both teams played relatively even. But in the' second quarter, Elliott took command of the boards and shut off Huron's mobility in the lane. The 6-8 senior finished the night with 15 caroms as Pioneer murdered their oppo- nents on the boards, 47-26. In the third quarter, the River Rats clamped on a full court press forcing Pioneer into four quick per- sonal fouls. Then Curry took com- plete command of the action. With his superior speed, he blew by his defenders for easy layups.

Last week Michigan pulled a 22-12 decision over North- western, a very significant win for the grapplers. Jerry Hubbard led the Wolverines in the trimming of the Wildcats, followed closely by teammate Gary Ernst. The Hoosiers have not fared as well with the MSU champions soundly bruising the Indiana team 304 in' a recent meeting. Only two Hoosiers, John Hobbs at 118 lbs., and John .Angel at 126, were victorious in the final decision.,. Lance Becker and Jim Brown will be expected to surpress these two threats in today's match. Tankers set to dunk Spartans Il' ALL THE breaks go against us we will lose the meet," uttered Michigan swim coach Gus Stager on the meet against the Spartans today. If all of Michigan's top swimmers literally break something this might be true, however the chances are more records than anything will be broken by the tankers. Michigan State, especally 'in their own pool, will not be the pushove , that most of the Blue's opponents have been so;f Michigan State was 19th in the NCAA championship meet last year in comparison to Michigan's ninth and coach Stager figures the Spartans as a good fourth in the Big Ten this year.

"Bob (Elliott) is interested in business administration an d Michigan is one of the schools he's interested in. In fact, he'll be there this weekend as their guest." Rouse also praised the defen- sive play of Curry, of whom little interest, surprisingly, has been expressed. "I can't understand why no one wants Curry," he said.
