Alan Fanger THURSDAY THUNDER... The Famous Five-It appears that the dust has temporarily cleared on the suspensions issue, but one can't help but berate the entire cast of charac- ters, each of whom delivered poor performances during this entire scenario. There's Don Canham, who insisted that the five players would never again play football at Michigan (Will Perry contradicted him two days later). There's the Detroit-area media, which filled its reports with idle speculation, and relied on the Daily for most of its factual information. And there's the players themselves, who denied having any involvement with drugs. B.J. Dickey, speaking for himself and his four cohorts, said, "We don't smoke marijuana, and we don't use cocaine." If these players weren't suspended for drug-related violations of a training rule, then why were they suspended? If the suspensions were not, in fact, drug-related, then why can't Bo Schembechler inform the media of this gross inaccuracy, and save his players from any further embarrassments If you managed to glance at the front page of the Detroit Free Press last Thursday and Friday, you undoubtedly noticed the way in which this story was played on the page. Friday also marked the day on which the Pinto trial story, which received a tremendous amount of local attention, appeared on the front page. That story was given a small amount of play right below the logo. It seems ridiculous that a newspaper should spend four months inten- sely scrutinizing the activities surrounding a unique case in legal history, only to squish it against the ceiling of Page One. The headline used for the football story, as well as its placement, is normally reserved for stories of unmitigating significance. While the suspensions were clearly a major issue in this area, affairs in Winamac, Indiana, Tehran, and Washington seem more urgent to the metropolitan Detroit populace. Cager Capers-It is now common knowledge that center John Garris is fairly set on leaving the Michigan basketball team. Garris is allegedly unhappy about the little playing time he has received during his first two seasons, and wary of the arrival this fall of 7-2 Canadian Jon Antonides. If you've followed Michigan basketball lately, you'll recognize that the Wolverines, with Antonides backing up Paul Heuerman, will do just fine, thank you. Garris seemed unable to fashion his inside game to the point where coach Johnny Orr could feel confident enough to bring him off the bench at any moment. The second battle with Michigan State on February 6 proved to be Garris' death knell; he saw limited action in the four final regular season contests, and played in only one of the NIT games, that being the quarterfinal matchup with Virginia. While we're on the subject of dissatisfied basketball playes, look for guard Keith Smith to jump the elverine ship for "greener pastures." Sour- ces say the speedy sophomore is thinking of moving down the road to Yp- silanti and Eastern Michigan, where he would be reunited with former Michigan assistant Jim Boyce. If Smith decides to travel that route, he will undoubtedly become one of the finest guards in the Mid-American Conferen- ce. And once again, we find a neutralizing element within this whole scheme-the possible signing by Orr of Derek Harper, a lightning-fast guard from Palm Beach, Florida. Tiger Teasing-It's that time of year again. From Lakeland, the annual bubble of optimism has been released from the Tigers' training camp. We're all being led to believe that yes, after eight long years of suffering, the Bengals will "bring the pennant home, where it belongs." The rehearsed response, please: Those hot summer nights Down at Michigan and Trumbull The hot dogs, the cokes That incessant rumble Take heart, oh ye fans And the season's warm embrace Butthe call of reality Says the Tigers got fifth place The Michigan Daily-Thursday, March 20, 1980-Page 11 Tenth rated netters bounce into action By GREG DEGULIS With its highest national ranking sin- ce the era of Victor Amaya, the Michigan men's tennis team will defend its number 10 ranking in two home matches this week. Today at 2:30 at the Track and Tennis Building, Michigan meets Kalamazoo College, always one of the best Division III squads in the nation. On Saturday at 4:00, the University of Cincinnati, led by NCAA first singles qualifier Bob Kronage, invades Ann Arbor attempting to upset Brian Eisner's defending Big Ten champion Wolverines. IN PREPARATION for the two home matches, Eisner elected a flexible line- up with two alternating number one singles and four freshmen.With the loss of Big Ten singles champion Jeff Etter- beek to graduation, the number one singles spot opened up. Presently, that space is shared by junior Matt Horwit- ch and sophomore Michael Leach. Eisner stated that "both players are of equal strength and are among the top twenty in the nation." To compliment the powerful number one singles team, Eisner's lineup features four freshmen which comprise half of the current eight playing mem- bers of the varsity. The coach believes he acquired "four outstanding fresh- men who have made a great deal of progress." Two of the four frosh hail from the heart of Buckeye country, Mark Mees and Dan McLaughlin. Mees, a resident of Zanesville, Ohio, won the Class AAA state singles title two years in a row. Mees currently occupies the third. singles slot for Michigan and according to Eisner, "is outstanding on slow sur- faces due to his excellent ground strokes." THE OTHER freshmen from Ohio and a frequent opponent of Mees in high school is Dan McLaughlin from Cleveland University School. As a senior at University School, Dan led his team to the National Prep School Ten- nis championship by winning the national first doubles title. Dan presen- tly shares the third doubles slot for Michigan with another freshman, Louie McKee. McKee captured the state title crown in his senior year in Minnesota before venturing to Michigan. McKee, an all- state fullback as well as state singles champ, plays third doubles with McLaughlin. The fourth freshman, Tom Haney, a native of Ann Arbor from Greenhills School, holds down the second doubles spot with co-captain Jack Neinken, a Big Ten singles champ last year. With four freshmen in the lineup, the veterans of the Big Ten tennis wars must provide stability for the Wolverines. Aside from the number one singles team of Horwitch and Leach, fast-serving Judd Shaufler at number four singles and first doubles; and Neinken at fifth singles and second doubles comprise the lineup against Kalamazoo and Cincinnati. Iegotit! I'vegot!'ve * o' Chicago Cub shortstop Ivan DeJesus, left, and teammate centerfielder Carlos Lezcano seem to have some trouble with this pop-up. The two collided on the ball hit by Jorge Orta of the Cleveland Indians during the, fifth inning of his Cactus League exhibition game Tuesday in Mesa, Ariz. Orta advanced to second on the bobble. The Indians defeated the-National Leaguers, 7-2. Ali-A merican Eaves Murray Eaves, the Wolverines' high- flying sophomore center, was yester- day named to the College All-American hockey team. The team, consisting of one goaltender, three defensemen and four forwards, was selected by NCAA officials and sportswriters. Surprisingly, all eight members of the All-American team came from teams in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. There were no members from the Eastern Coast Athletic Con- ference or the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Roy Schultz, of Wisconsin, was the All-American goaltender. He has since signed a pro contract and will not finish his two years of eligibility. At defense, Howard Walker of North Dakota, Dave Feamster of Colorado and Theran Welsh of Wisconsin were selected. In addition to Eaves, the other forwards selected were Mark Taylor of North Dakota, Tim Harrer, the WCHA leading scorer from Minnesota, and Greg Meredith of Notre Dame. THe WCHA All-Star team has yet to be named, but judging from the All- American selections, it appears that there will be few surprises. -Bob Emory The Ann Arbor Film Cooperate Presents at the Michigan Theatre: $2.00 Thursday.
