FACE WESTERN KENTUCKY SATURDAY:
Cagers open up
By RICK MADDOCK
While many Americans will be,
munching on turkey sandwiches or nib-
bling at the enormous amount of left-
over spuds, stuffing and sauce (with or
without cranberries), the. Michigan
basketball team will be sweating off its
Thanksgiving dinner in preparation for
Saturday's opener at Western Ken-
tucky.
"Well, we've got Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday - four
days," said Michigan coach Johnny
Orr after the Maize and Blue
scrimmage Monday night. And what
will be accomplished in the remain-
ing time, coach? "We'll be fired for
Saturday. We've just got to brush up
on a few things."
Those few things include getting
the plays down and hoping the
questions about defense and re-
bounds are answered favorably.
"Defensively we've improved
from when we first opened up," said
co-captain David Baxter. "We're
going to have to try to get shots off
our patterns. We're going to have to
set up to force the other team to play
defense."
Two interrelated problems that
Orr has to solve before the team
leaves for Bowling Green, Ky., are
which 12 (out of 14) players to take
and whom he will start. "We don't
know who we're taking on the trip.
That's a tough decision to make,"
Orr said.
Although Orr hasn't decided on his
starting lineup, the probables are:
Mike McGee (6-5) and Alan Hardy
(6-Y as forwards, Joel Thompson
(6-8) at center, and Tom Staton (6-3)
and Baxter (6-3) at the guard spots.
Asked if Johnny Johnson [6-41 is
the sixth man, Orr replied, "1 think
that's as bad as he'd be." Johnson
can play either guard or forward, but
since Orr has fewer substitute for-

wards than guards, Johnson will
probably see the most action as a for-
ward.
"If McGee or Hardy don't play
well, then we can put Johnson in
there," Orr said.
Another player who appears high
on the substitute list is freshman
Paul Heuerman (6-8). After Mon-
day's scrimmage, Orr noted, "When
we ran the offense best was when we
had Heuerman in there. He makes
the best picks."
How about the Hilltoppers? Well,

have all five starters ba(
with two talented junior
transfers.
"We should be, with th
height, a better reboundii
and we should have a lit
speed," assistant coach Bo
coe said.
The starting probables
Jackson (6-5) and James
(6-7) as forwards, Aaron Br)
at center, and Mike Prince
Steve Ashby (6-0) as guards.
Jackson is a transfer fri
homa City Southwest Junio
where he average 17 point
rebounds. The junior from
beat out returning starte
Cebula (6-5) who averaged
and 4.6 rebounds per game.
"Jackson is more of a
player," Roscoe said.
Johnson, a senior from S:
averaged 14.5 points and 101
in a season that was intern
ten games due to a f
kneecap.
Bryant led the team in
average last year with 20.9 p

Florida, was All-Ohio Valley
ence (OVC) although he onl
in the second semester,,w
talled 15 out of 26 games. Bry

and scarfed 3.2 rebounds. Prince was
an All-OVC freshman last year.
e added Ashby, a senior, averaged nine
rg team, points and picked up 2.8 rebounds per
ttle more game. He was hampered most of the
'bby Ras- season with an ankle injury which he
sustained in January.
Roscoe, who assists head coach
are Greg Jim Richards, commented on the
Johnson Hilltoppers' strategy. "We just want
yant (6-7) to play even with them [Michigan].

been a running ballclub, but I know

Atlanta defensively."
r Casey This game, which begins at 8:30
5.5 points p.m. (EST), is receiving more atten-
tion in Kentucky than in Michigan.
physical Normally, the Hilltoppers' games
are televised by tape delay, but this
one will be televised live throughout
avannah, Kentucky. Also, the university is
rebounds re-opening the dormitories on Satur-
upted for day instead of Sunday, giving the
ractured students an extra incentive to come
back early for the game.

Daily Classifieds Bring Results
By JEFF FRANK
Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of
sport. The thrill of. . Hey wait a minute, this time I don't
have to watch Wide World of Sports, I can see it here.
What it is, as some may have figured out, is the second
visit to Ann Arbor by the world renowned Soviet Union
gymnastics team in order to exhibit the skills that made the
USSR team the best in the world.
THE SOVIETS WILL be at Crisler Arena this Monday,
November 28, at 7:30 p.m.
Among the stars hoping to duplicate the success of last
_year's show will be the Olympic Games men's all-around
champion Nikolai Andrianov, winner of four gold medals
and three silver medals in the 1976 Games.
Other members of the Russian men's team include
Olympic medal winners Vladimir Markelov and Alexander
Ditiatin, both veterans of the 1976 team that finished only
one-half of a poinL behind Japan for the men's team cham-
pionship.
Much of the recent interest in gymnastics has been
sparked by the performances of women gymnasts such as
Russia's Olga Korbut and Nelli Kim, as well as Rumania's
Nadia Comaneci.
KORBUT AND KIM, both scheduled to perform on this
tour, have developed illnesses and will not be able to per-
form at Crisler Monday. Both of these crowd pleasers will
be missed.
However, the Soviet women have always relied on depth
to capture their numerous team championships, and a
member of last year's Olympic champion team, Lydia
Gorbik, is expected to pick up some of the slack caused by
the loss of Korbut and Kim.
The woman billed as the next gymnast to watch in inter-
national competition will also be performing. YelenA
Mukina is coming off a three gold medal showing at the
European Championships where she tied Comaneci for the
women's all-around championship.
Those who attended last year's show will remember the
performances by the Russian acrobats and members of the
modern rhythmic gymnastics team.
THE TWO ARCOBATS perform feats of strength that
have to be seen to be believed. Among the stunts they per-
form are a one handed parallel handstand, done while a
teammate does a one handed handstand on the first man's-
head.
Rhythmic gymnastics, a Soviet innovation, is performed
to music by a woman while using a ribbon, a ball or a hoop
to set off her dance from the more conventional tumbling
done in a floor exercise routine. The gymnast must control
her body and the object she uses.
Tickets for the show'are still available at the Michigan
Ticket Office at the corner of State and Hoover and are
priced at $10 and $7.

The Michigan wrestling team, fresh
off a successful weekend out east, is
setting its eyes on the Michigan State
Spartans - this Sunday's opponent.
The grapplers defeated both Massa-
chusetts and Syracuse last weekend
while bowing to Rhode Island, 21-29.
Five Wolverines won all three matches
in the initial outing of the season.
Captain Karl Briggs defeated all his
opponents as did 167-pounder Brad Hol-
man, 177-pounder Steve Fraser, 190-
pounder Bill Petoskey and heavyweight
Steve Bennett. Holman, Fraser and
Petoskey had one fall apiece as the
Wolverines opened their season with
two big victories against eastern op-
ponents.
The Wolverines returned to Ann Ar-
bor with a few injuries. Lou Joseph,
over break
who won one of three matches, injured
.his knee, as did Petoskey. Mark Churel-
la, last years national champ at 150
pounds, sustained a slight neck injury.
Churella was upset this weekend by
Syracuse Orangeman John Janish,10-3,
but earned victoriestby a decision and a
pin versus his other two foes.
Sunday in Crisler Arena the Wolver-
ines tangle with Michigan State, whom
they defeated twice last season. The
best match of the day should take place
at 150 pounds, where Briggs squares off
with Spartart Dennis Brighton.
Brighton finished second in the nation
at 134 pounds a year ago, while Briggs
finished fourth in the Big Ten at 142 and
qualified for the nationals.
The meet was originally scheduled
for Monday, but has been switched to
Sunday at 3 p.m. -DAILY SPORTS
