Orr leans towards
Staton as starter
By KATHY HENNEGHAN
Michigan basketball fans will notice a few changes
this winter - those of you who were around for last
season, anyway. Coach Johnny Orr yesterday promised
to press more, substitute more, and gave a pretty good
clue as to who the fifth starter will be.
The occasion for Orr's remarks was Michigan Bas-
ketball Press Day. Orr summed up the upcoming sea-
son at a luncheon at Weber's Inn yesterday.
"IF I HAD TO DECIDE TODAY," said Orr, "Tom-
my Staton would be our starter." Staton would step in
at the forward spot vacated by Wayman Britt.
Statof may seem small for the job at 6-3, but then
Britt was just 6-2. With the depth at guard this year,
Orr feels Staton is doing too well to hold him back.
"Staton is" our quickest player outside of Rickey
Green," said Orr. "He plays a lot like Wayman did,
and, he may b'e a little stronger. He's going to have a
great year. There's no way he can't."
Barring any unforeseen developments, the rest of the
lineup remains unchanged.
"There's no question in my mind about Rickey and
(Phil) Hubbard," said Orr. "No one can beat them out
at their positions.
"Ahd I lthink when the bell rings, Grote's going to
be there. The same thing holds true for Johnny Robin-
son."
ORR IS TRYING TO EXPERIMENT a little more
this year. Staton will see time at guard, and Orr is
considering giving Hubbard some time at forward, with
Joel Thompson in the middle.
"Offensively, Hub can play forward tremendously
well," said Orr; "Defensively, he has problems at for-
ward. Most of the time Hub will play defensive 'pivot
no matter who's in the game."
Orr plans to usehis bench more extensively than
he has in the past. "I have to change the way I've
been coaching," he said. "I've never substituted a great
deal. I've said I world, but I haven't.
"If you don't play them, they're going to leave."
Two walk-ons will stay with the varsity this sea-
son. They are Dave Stavale, a 6-1 sophomore, guard
from Harper Woods, and Bill Lelich, a 6-6 junior for-
ward and former prep star at Birmingham Brother Rice.

regular season schedule.
"This was supposed to be a
Big Ten tournament with every-

diana participating," said Michi-
gan coach Dave Peugh. "But'
Minnesota and Purdue dropped
out leaving just OSU and MSU."
Since no league standings
will be altered by the results
of this weekend's play, Peugh
looks at the tri-team match as
a chance to tune up for the
conference championships in
two weeks at Chicago.
"We've had the best week of,
practice since the beginning of
the season," said Peugh.
Peugh sees Rick Pepper and
Tom Reddick as individual
standouts in the polomen's 7-5
