The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, November 30, 1977-Page9 INVADING HURONS ARE 0-2: Cagers favored in home opener By CUB SCHWARTZ The Michigan basketball team last faced Eastern Michigan back in January of 1976. It was a miser- able night, between the snow, the cold and a lack- luster game. Michigan routinely handled the Hurons 94-76 and coach John Orr was compelled to thank the reporters and fans for coming out on such a lousy night. Well, the weather may be better this year but the result of the contest should be the same. EASTERN DROPPED its opening two games of the year while participating in the New Orleans Tip- Off Tourney last week. In the opener the Hurons were edged by New Orleans 84-83 in overtime. The Privateers, who last year claimed the NCAA Division II National Crown, went on to win the tour- nament defeating Louisiana Tech, 90-66. In the consolations, the Hurons didn't fare any better, losing to Tennessee at Chatanooga, 66-63. Actually Eastern Michigan fields a team quite similar to Michigan in at leapt one respect. Of the starting five, only one is a returning starter from last year's team. That man is Kenny Harmon, a 6-5 forward who averaged just under 10 points per game for Eastern AP Photo last year. In the first two games this season Harmon has averaged 14.5 points per game and leads the rm while Hurons in rebounding with an 11.5 average. action in y with 19 THE REMAINDER of the starting five is a mix of three transfers and one freshman. Tony Jamison, a 6-3 forward, is the leading scorer on the squad. A transfer from Kent State, where he started for two years, Jamison has netted 37 points in two appearances. AP AleTp Twent Record 1.

In fact, with Cicotte at 6-7, tonight will be one of the few times-A Joel Thompson won't face a taller opponent. EMU COACH Ray Scott, formerly of the Pistons, is faced with a front line of 6-3, 6-5, and 6-7-not exactly a cage coach's dream. "We have a lot of new players this season," Scott said. "We won't be as tall but we will definitely be quicker, overall we have more talent." In the backcourt Scott has Hank Wiggins, a tran- sfer from Shaw College in Detroit and Bennette Gay, a freshman from Grand Rapids Creston., Neither is expected'to provide Eastern with much scoring punch. THUS, EASTERN will no doubt find the 13th ranked Wolverines a tough challenge. But Scott has- - braced himself for the inevitable drubbings his team will receive, not only at the hands of Michigan but other non-conference foes such as Arizona, Detroit, DePaul and Indiana State. "This is no doubt the toughest schedule I have seen," Scott said, "but I know it will teach us a lot of things and make us mentally and physically ready to play in the Mid-American Conference."

KENN, HICKS ON SECOND TEAM AP tabs Donahue All-American Michigan guard Mark Donahue was made the member of an elite group last night. Donahue, a senior from Oak Lawn, Ill. was tabbed as a first team AP All-American. Two other Michigan players were named to the second team: tackle Mike Kenn and defensive back Dwight Hicks. Center Walt Downing was named to the. third team. Quarterback Rick Leach and running back Russel Davis made honorable mention. The AP All-America selections are based on college performance rather than pro potential. Ohio State tackle Chris Ward was the only other Big Ten player named to the first team. in juries, Spartans beat Blue By GEOFF LARCOM It's the end of the fall term and along with it crops up a multitude of problems and worries for you,,Joe Student. Fear not, Joe, you've got company, - the Michigan wrestling team. Coach Bill Johannesen's squad is fighting to overcom~e injuries in the lower weight classes. With Jim Mathias and Bob McCalvey out at 126 along with Lee Joseph and Bill Evashevski gone at 142, the Wolver- ines are losing points in the lower weights. It cost them their match last Sunday when a late rally in the upper weight classes fell just short in a 24-18 setback at the hands of Michi- gan State. "ONCE WE get some guys back in the light weights we'll be a strong team," said Johannesen. "Right now though, we're really getting hurt in that area." Spell that hurt with a capital o-u-c-h. Todd Schneider gave the Wolverines an initial lift at 118, with a solid 8-5 decision over Spartan Shawn White in his first eight minute match of the year. The party then abruptly ended. graplers Rich Strader, Kirk Arndt, Jim Simmons, and Karl Briggs each lost superior decisions to Spartan oppon- ents and the Wolverines were faced with a mid-match deficit of 17-3. NCAA CHAMP IONMark Churella reignited Michigan hopes with a 17-4 decision over Jim Foley. "Just your average masterful Churella perform- ance," commented Johannesen. Following an 8-2 decision against Bill Konovsky, Steve Fraser (177) and Bill Petoskey (190) each battled to a draw and heavyweight Steve Bennet pinned his man to finish the scoring for Michigan. Of no help to the Michigan cause was the indefinite suspension of Brad Holman, one of the Wolverines' top performers of last year, with a 15-3 record. "HE ONLY came to practice once last week," said Johannesen. "No ex- planations, he just stopped showing.
