The Michigan Daily-Saturday, March 29, 1980-Page 9 SL UGGERS OPEN AGAIN 'QrPO AITIV TAJE Coaeh1 BY DREW SHARP Gone is the timely hitting and steady fielding of Rick Leach, the superb pit- ching duo of Steve - Howe and Steve Perry and the guidance and leadership of longtime baseball coach Moby Benedict. What does the Michigan baseball club possess this season? A young and spunky group, which will be showcased for the first time today at the season opening doubleheader against Grand Walley, 1 p.m. at Fisher Stadium. But, more importantly, the team has a new energetic head coach in Bud Middaugh. Middaugh, 39, comes to Michigan af- ter an excellent career at Miami (Ohio), where he compiled a 356-173 record for a .673 percentage. Some of his accomplishments included three Mid-American conference titles, three MAC coach of the year awards and in 1977 when his team won 45 games, they were the first MAC school to ever gain an at-large berth in NCAA districts. This season at Michigan, Middaugh will be facing a challenge because the heart of the Wolverines club was taken away through the major league draft last summer. '"That's the main problem with for- ming a team," said Middaugh. "You're always battling the major league draft. One week you may have a star and the next week, he'll be in the majors." liddaugil "You know that when youlose quality players like Leach, Howe and Perry, it's going to take some time to build a winning team, but I think it's going to be fun." The man that Middaugh will build his team around will be senior George Foussianes. Foussianes is the lone three-year let- terman on this year's squad. The 6-1, 190-pounder has been a versatile player during his Michigan career as he has seen duty as a shortstop, first baseman and a designated hitter. Last season, he was the All-Big Ten shortstop and led the league in hitting with a .452 average beating teammate Leach for the title: Foussianes had a .369 average for the entire season, which also led the Wolverines. "George is our main man. I won't deny that and we're going to count heavily on him. I expect him to be my field leader out there," said Middaugh. Other players that will be counted on to have good seasons will be junior Mark Clinton, who is the most ex- perienced pitcher on the staff. He had a 5-3 record in 1979. Junior catcher Jerry Hool, it is hoped, will provide some needed power hitting. He broke an ankle last year against Wisconsin sliding into second base, but seems to be fully recovered going into the season.

SPOR TS OF THE DAILY: Linebacker injured By ERIC LUTTINEN Mike Czarnota, a sophomore inside linebacker who was on the third team last season, broke his right foot in prac- tice Wednesday and will be out for at ast five weeks. "I broke it during a punt return drill in practice," said Czarnota, adding that he will miss all of spring practice, in- cluding the Blue-White intrasquad scrimmage next month. "It sure hurts to miss spring practice, because that's where the starting jobs are won,' he said. Sophomore Sanford Washington will step into the hole vacated by Czarnota. Washington came to Michigan as a *ighly-touted linebacker prospect with great speed and range. Junior wolfman Stuart Harris un- derwent knee surgery earlier this week, and will miss all of spring practice. The Chagrin Falls, Ohio native, who made 34 total tackles and intercepted one pass last season, is the only returning member of Michigan's secondary. Boston 130, Cleveland 122 BOSTON (AP)-Larry Bird scored 3 points and Rick Robey added 25 as the Boston Celtics downed the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-122, last night to clinch the Atlantic Division title of the National Basketball Association. The victory insured the Celtics of the best record in the league and gave them a first-round bye into .the playoffs. Boston had to survive a fourth-quarter scare by the Cavs to earn the victory. CLEVELAND, WHICH trailedby as any as 13 points in the third quarter, closed to 114-110 with a little more than four minutes remaining. Boston ran off a 10-2 spurt to put the game on ice. The Celtics opened the game and quickly moved to a 10-2 lead as Tiny. Archibald hit on a jumper and a drive, and Bird canned a three-point shot. The Cavs, paced by Randy Smith's 11 points, managed to stay close at 34-28 at the end of the first quarter. The Celtics built a 69-61 advantage at halftime, with Bird scoring 18. IN THE THIRD quarter, . Robey, substituting for the injured Dave Cowens, dominated the inside and scored 12 points to help Boston stretch its margin to 99-87 going into the final period. The Celtics made frequent use of their fast break attack, with Archibald ending up with 21 points. Cedric Maxwell contributed 23. The Cavaliers were led by Da.ve Robisch with 12 points and Austin Carr and Bill Willoughby, who each had 10. The Boston victory total of 60 matched their number of wins for the previous two years combined. Washington 100, Atlania 80 LANDOVER, Md. (AP)-Elvin Hayes scored 29 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked eight shots last night to pace the Washington Bullets to a 100-80 victory over Atlanta. The Bullets victory, following two straight losses, kept their playoff hopes alive. Washington now has a 36-43 record. Sixth-place New York finished the season with a 39-43 mark. If the Bullets beat the Nets Sunday afternoon in New Jersey they will tie New York and earn a playoff berth because of a better record against Eastern Conference opponents. Kevin Grevey, who scored 24 points, made three three-point baskets in the first quarter to give the Bullets a lead they never lost as they beat the Hawks for the third straight time at the Capital Centre.
