By CUB SCHWARTZ Sorry folks, even though the Wolverines did not make it toa the NCAA finals and the Pistons are on the skids, you cannot for- get about basketball yet. This Sunday, the Fourth An- nual Ann Arbor Basketball Clas-! sic will be played at Concordia College featuring the top high school cagers from Michigan,1 Illinois and Indiana. Created by Michigan IM as- sistant director Sandy Sandersi four years ago the tournament1 has undergone major changes in finding its present status. 1 It was originally a pro-set tourney which featured high school, college and pro basket- ball players. Last year it was modified just to, high schoolers. "To get the pro players we had to wait until the end of the pro season. By that time most people interested in high school and college ball had just lost interest," Sanders ex- plained. r prep cager strut Purdue have also competed. Jordan was named the tour- nament's Most Valuable Player stuff some of the finest basketball players this state has ever produced," said Sanders. "Al- ever been as successful as San- James Pontiac Norshern' ders originally expected. "Frankly it hasn't gone quite as well as I thought it would, but things are picking up.' Basketball is getting very big, and as it grows, so will the tournament" he said. Whether it has been "big" or not in the past this year's ros- ter features some of the state's best cagers. And although Lansing Everett star and everybody's All-Amer- ican Earvin Johnson will be in Europe touring with the Mc- Donald's blue chip team, the tourney still boasts some of the nation's best. Kevin Smith, Brother Rice's All-American guard and a top Michigan recruit will be play- ing. Smith led the Warriors to the finals of the Class A state championship before falling to the Johnson-led Vikings. Nev- ertheless, Smith poured in 25 points includling a half court shot at the buzzer which sent the contest into overtime. State forward heads up group.

Junior Dave Debol was awarded the Hal Downes Trophy for being the most valuable player as voted by the team. Debol end- ed the year with 99 points, including a Michigan season record 56 assists and a share of another Michigan record with 43 goals.

Palmer has the most career points in Michigan history for a defenseman with 98. Sophomore John Waymann was honored wih the Alton Simms Trophy for being the most improved player. Waymann scored, the tying goal in the NCAA title game against Wisconsin, and he played the last part of the regular season and the playoffs with a broken foot. Freshmen Dan Lerg and Dean Turner each received the Dekers Club Award for being the most colorful rookies. Both players figure high in the Wolverines' future. Senior Kris Manery received a clock decorated with three hockey pucks. The pucks were ones that Manery scored on, in- cluding his 100th career goal. Junior John McCahill was named as the team's captain for next year. -RICK MADDOCK Bengals blank Mets ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.-Rookie right-handers Dave Rozema and Fernando Arroyo permitted just six hits and the Detroit Tigers shut out the New York Mets 1-0 in exhibition baseball yesterday. It was the fourth straight loss and eighth in the last 11 games for the Mets. Rozema, a nonroster pitcher, worked the first eight innings, becoming the first Tiger pitcher to go that distance this spring. The 20-year-old pitcher was invited to the Tigers' camp after a 12-4 record at Montgomery of the Southern League in 1976. The Tigers scored the game's only run against loser Ray Sadecki in the third inning when Aurelio Rodriguez singled, moved to second on a fielder's choice and scored on Ron LeFlore's single to center. Sadecki pitched the first five innings for the Mets with Bob Myrick and Skip Lockwood finishing up. Celtics corral Bulls HARTFORD - Forward Sidney Wicks made a key steal with 21 seconds remaining last night, helping the Boston Celtics to-a 90-88 National Basketball Association victory over the Chicago Bulls. The loss kept the Bulls in fourth pace, three games behind second place Pistons, who also lost. Ailing Special To The Daily The Philadelphia 76ers needed, clutch foul shooting by guards Doug Collins and Henry Bibby to nip a never-say-die Detroit Pis- tons squad 115-112 last night. The undermanned Pistons, playing without Marvin Barnes and Captain Bob Lanier, re- ceived career-high performances from Eric Money and rookie Leon Douglas. MONEY, who scored 32 points, continually bedeviled the 76er1 defense with his medium range jumpers. Douglas dominated the three Philadelphia c e n t e r s, scoring 30 points while grabbing 22 rebounds. However, while the Pistons re- lied on- the two. Philadelphia received balanced scoring from Interesting facts Idaho was involved in two games totaling 142 points last season. It tied Boise State 31-31 and Weber State 40-40. Cincinnati plays its first six football games at night this season and only two of them are at home. Pistons four different forwards Joe Bry- ant, Steve Mix, George McGin- nis and Julius Erving. When all-stars McGinnis and Erving found play difficult in the first half 76er coach Gene Shue immediately inserted re- serves Mix and Bryant. The two combined for twenty- six points at halftime, bringing3 Philly within four, 58-54.1 end of three 85-85. Then Erving strutted his stuff, continually beating Piston forwards M. L. Carr and Howardti Porter in plays that brought the Spectrum house of 12,542 to its feet. Money and Douglas were able, to keep the game close until the final minute of play when Phila- delphia's enormous free throw advantage (35-49 to 16-20) be- gan to decide the issue. George McGinnis' driving lay- up broke a tie with 45 seconds fall left and the Pistons never led again. Philadelphia was led in scor- ing by Mix and Collins who each, had 20 points. Erving added16. The win aided the' 76ers in their goal of finishing with the league's best winning percent- age. Currently the Atlantic Di- vision champs are .19 percent- age points behind the pace- setting Los Angeles Lakers.
