The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, October 18, 1977-Page 9 NEWDIS TRIB UTION SYSTEM Cage tic By BOB WARREN "We're trying to give the students as fair a shot as possible at getting season tickets this year," said ticket manager Al Renfrew in reference to this year's upcoming basketball tick- et rush. Due to the overwhelming success of last year's team performance, the ticket office, anticipates a higher demand for basketball season tickets than last year when Crisler Arena was packed for almost every home game. "WE'VE RAISED the student al- ket bids lotment of tickets this year to 5,100 from 4,800, but we don't expect too many more students than that re- questing tickets," continued Ren- frew. In the event of a student demand of more than 5,100 tickets, all applica- tions for tickets will be placed in a lottery. Those who lose out in the lottery will have to seek scalpers and the scarce supply of game day tickets that are available. This year the procedure will be as follows. Friday, October 21 and Saturday, October 22 from 8 a.m. to 4 Down to the wire By Don MacLachlan -:; K .. :: qf$' Boo contends ... Leach is best SUALLY BO SCHEMBECHLER lets his team speak for itself. His team U is 6-0 and one of only two unbeaten major colleges in the country. He is happy his squad is ranked number one. Bo must be sick of the question "Just how good is Michigan?" When asked, he gets to the point, but doesn't dwell on it: "We looked pretty good today didn't we," "We could have been better," "We played well, but we still have some work to do," "We're a good team and we can get better." Well, for two and one half years his starting quarterback has pretty well spoken for himself. With 39 yards this Saturday Rick Leach will beconie the new Michigan all-time leader in total yardage. The junior signal caller has engineered the Wolverines into two bowl games. At his weekly press luncheon yesterday, Schembechler decided, to let everyone know just what he thinks of his gutsy southpaw quarterback. He talked a little about Minnesota and how injuries are catching up with his team, but he talked a lot about Leach. In fact, when he talked about his quar- terback you could see pride and sincerity in his eyes. Schembechler was serious about what he was saying. "I called Leach into the office Saturday after our quarterback meeting and talked to him," Schembechler said. "I told him that one thing worries me, that he was going to try too hard to please his critics. I wanted to tell him something. I told him he is the best quarterback in the nation because he is a winner. "Leach can beat you with his arm, his legs, his leadership and com- petitive spirit," Schembechler said. "He is everything you could want from a player taking the ball from center. The kid can hurt you in a lot of ways." Sometimes the job Leach does running the option is taken for granted. When he holds the ball until the last second and then pitches to Harlan Huckleby, the latter gets credit for the fifteen yard pick-up. Against Michigan State, Leach kept the ground game moving faultlessly despite a pouring rain. Leach does get noticed when he fakes and keeps the ballqnthe option - slWit wixg through thedefense for yardage. This year the southpaw has been throwing more effectively. Schembech- ler maintains Leachas improved every year since he came to Ann Arbor. This year he has thrown six touchdown passes - giving him a total of 22 for his career. But forget the passing - he has guided the ground game to nearly 300 yards per contest. "Hey, I've called a lot of plays that he has suggested," Schembechler said. "He knows -what is going on out there. Th'e first two years I just wanted him to learn and execute." In spring practice Schembechler was concerned with developing re- ceivers due to the graduation of Jim Smith. He claims there was never any question about Leach's passing ability. "You should see Leach in practice nailing those passes in there," Schembechler said. "A quarterback needs catches like the ones Doug Marsh and Gene Johnson made on Saturday (for touchdowns)." Schembechler really doesn't think the media has given Leach a fair chance. "I don't think he's been treated right," Schembechler said. "You people are overwhelmed with whatever comes across in the NCAA statistics. I wouldn't trade him for any guy playing college football in the United States. You think he should be an All-American, Bo? "You certainly couldn't say he doesn't deserve it." You think he is a candidate for the Heisman Trophy as a junior, Bo? "In my. opinion yes, and I wouldn't care if he was a freshman." , You think he would make a good pro quarterback, Bo? "Is Kenny Stabler a good quarterback?" Well, is he the best quarterback you have ever coached? "He is going to be," Schembechler said. "I've had Leach with me so long. I get along with him so well it isn't funny." Schembechler thinks he has something special in Rick Leach. Yesterday ii let everybody know-about it for a change.

Each person must present cash or check payable to the Michi- gan Athletic Department at that time. It does not matter when a student gets to the Track and Tennis Building during those two days to fill out an application, because the applications will only be organized by class standing (i.e., senior, junior, etc.) IF THE NUMBER of applicants exceeds the student allotment, a random lottery will be held to deter- mine the persons who will receive tickets. If a student loses in the lottery, he or she will be refunded the $14 cost for season tickets. Several weeks later the dates and times of student pickups will be announced. The pickup will then be held at the Athletic Department Ticket Office at the corner of Hoover SAPtrep Twent This week's AP college football poll provides no real surprises as the Michigan Wolverines and the Texas Longhorns retain their respective number one and two rankings.

It will be difficult for a non-senior to acquire senior priority tickets be- cause students have to produce ID's and sign the application with the same signature on the ID. The lottery, however, gives a freshman as good a chance as a senior to obtain tickets. THOSE PERSONS wishing to sit in groups can send one person with four application receipts to pick up tickets at the Ticket Office. If there are eight students who want tickets together, two people should be sent with four receipts each and so on down the line in multiples of four. "Some people must be upset that we set the student ticket ceiling at 5,100, but last year 4,800 wanted tickets and we can't forecast the team being too much better than last year's great team," Renfrew pointed out. "Two years ago only 2,000 stu- dents wanted season tickets. Why should we increase any more when we've doubled the allotment in the last two years?" RENFREW EMPHASIZED that the faculty, staff and general public will not apply for tickets until the student demand is fulfilled. Only non-students who had season tickets last year will be guaranteed tickets for this year. "Although we had a great season last year and a comparable ticket sale, we could suffer the fate that Indiana has suffered this year. Indiana's ticket sale has dropped from 18,000 last year to only 10,000 this year," Renfrew concluded. ' More than likely, studrents who fill out applications 4I1 6s60 ticket' will get them, so fo w the proce- dures and enjoy O.rr's boys.
