Laimbeer says he won'I
transfer to Michigan
By RICH LERNER
Bill Laimbeer will be going to school somewhere next
fall. Ilowever, the 6-11 center for Digger Phelps' Notre Dame
basketball squlad last year hasn't yet decided where he will
be going
Yesterday, a Detroit radio station reported that Laim-
beer has transferre I to Michigan. However, that news caught
Notre Dame, Michigan and Laimbeer by surprise.
"It's all rumor," said Laimbeer's mother from the fami-
ly home in Toledo. "I don't know who started it. Bill doesn't
know if lie is going to leave Notre Dame or not."
LAIMBEER st-rted several games for the Fighting
Irish as a freshman last year, but academic ineligibility
sidelined him starting in January.
A high school All-American at Palos Verdes High School
in California, Laimbeer arevarged 8.2 points and 7.9 re-
bounds in ten games for the Fighting Irish
Last month Laimbeer visited the campus here and stop-
ped in at the Wolverine basketball offices.
"He told us he might leave Notre Dame," said Michi-
gan assistant Bill Frieder. "That's all the further we know."
lege in the Toledo area and then return to Notre Dame,"
said a Notre Dame spokesman.
Unless Notre Dame signs a form releasing Laimbeer
from his tender, Michigan cannot recruit him. However if
he applies to the University on his own and is admitted, he
may enroll.
Either way, Laimlbeer can be of no immediate help to
Johnny Orr's cagers. Should he come to Michigan, he would
have to sit out one year before becoming eligible to play for
the 1977-78 season. He would have three years of eligibility
remaining.

New York Giants' Dough VanHorn (63) and John Mendenhall (64) try to convince the world
that the world of pro football really is tough, and summer practices in particular. Strange as it
seems, the pros are already warming up for the '76 season, some exhibition games are coming
up within another week. Sorry fellas, no Oscars.
