Page 8-Wednesday, February 11, 1981-The Michigan Daily Shattered: McGee's ready to bump Cazzie as scoring king By DREW SHARP Ten points are all that stand between Mike McGee and Michigan basketball immortality. That is all the 6-5 senior from Omaha needs to surpass Wolverine legend Caz- zie Russell on the all-time Wolverine scoring list. He expects to reach the plateau when Michigan battles Ohio State tomorrow night before an an- ticipated sellout crowd at Crisler Arena. "I think I'll probably do it against Ohio State," said McGee. "I would like to do it before the home fans; it would make it even more special for me." "Special" is the term usually ex- pressed when coaches talk of McGee's talent. "Definitely, McGee is our biggest of- fensive weapon," said Wolverine coach Bill Frieder. "He's just so quick. He may very well have a faster move to the basket than anyone else in the coun- try. We're relying on him heavily this season and he's done a good job for us." "Mike's a good role player," said Michigan State coach Jud Heathcote. "He is playing more consistently and intelligently than ever before." It is his consistent play this season that has many pro scouts tabbing McGee as a sure-fire first-round NBA draft choice in June. "I've seen (McGee) several times and I'm very impressed with his ability," said Detroit Pistons general manager Jack McCloskey. "He'll probably play in the back court, where he will be a definite offensive threat. He's very capable of scoring in a num- ber of ways. I think he'll have an ex- cellent chance (to make the NBA). "We regard him very highly. The question is, 'Can he make the transition from forward to guard?' I think he can and he must. He's really not big enough to play at forward day-in and day-out." Such a dilemma, however, does not worry McGee. "I'm not concerned about the tran- sition I'll be making in the pros," said McGee. "I think I can handle the guard position well. Obviously, I will not be a point guard, but.I can shoot well from the outside, drive well to the basket, and can handle the ball pretty good. I don't anticipate any problems. "Coach (Frieder) put me in the guard spot for a while to get me used to the position, but I don't play it a lot," he added. The Pistons have made it a habit recently to sweep up the college talent from inside the state, with the excep- tion of current Los Angeles Laker Ear- vin Johnson. In order to attract more local fans, the Pistons may draft McGee. "Our needs right now are up front, so we're probably more interested in (MSU forward Jay) Vincent," said McCloskey. "But we have two first- round picks and landing McGee would definitely be inviting." "If I had my choice, I'd like to play for a West Coast team that runs a lot, like Phoenix," said McGee. "I like the transition game; I play better when there's a lot of movement." Pro aspirations are taking a back seat for the time being however, with Michigan's NCAA playoff hopes rising and the scoring record close to being shattered. "(The record) will definitely be the highlight of my career," said McGee. "It will mean a lot to me personally since I've been going at it for four years now. And when it finally happens, it will be a great accomplishment for me. McGee's uncle from Flint will be the only relative to attend the contest and Frieder has refused to allow the game to be stopped if McGee reaches the magical figure. When McGee scored his 2,000th point against Iowa, the game was halted in honor of the occasion. Frieder felt the delay caused the Wolverines to lose momentum - Iowa won the game. "It's up to Coach Frieder to do what he thinks is best," said McGee. "It doesn't really matter to me." r - - - - - - LECOUPON m m l 1 Pay for two, the third is free.' 1 KODAK Color1 Enlargements1 UP TO 16" x 24"1 I Bring inthis coupon with zyour favorite Kodacolor film negatives, color slides, - ~color prints or instant colo iCL prints.1 sGet 3 KODAK.

Former 'M' gridder joins Hall of Fame By JOE CHAPELLE with wire service reports Alvin Wistert, two time All-American and player on Michigan's last national championship football team, was elec- ted to The National Football Foun- dation's Hall of Fame yesterday. WISTERT, WHO captained Michigan's 1949 football team, joins his two brothers Francis and Albert,-in the Hall. This marks the second time that Wistert has been named to a Hall of Fame this year. In January, Wistert also joined his two brothers in the College Football Hall of Fame. Wistert was the oldest man ever to captain a football team at Michigan. He began his career in 1946 at Boston University after serving six years in the Marine Corps during the Second World War. WISTERT transferred to Michigan from Boston University in February of his freshman year in order to continue the Wistert tradition at Michigan. "He was more than a little green," Bennie Oosterbaan said in 1949 when talking about Wistert's early days on the Michigan football squad. He matured fast after an 11 year layoff, however and competed in Michigan's 49-0 romp over the University of Southern California in the 1948 Rose Bowl game. Wistert, now living in Northville, will be honored at New York and enshrined at the Foundation's home on Kings Island, Ohio in August of 1982.
