'M' OPENS WITH TUNE UP AT CRISLER The Michigan Daily-Sunday, November 23, 1980-Page 7 Cage rs o jo i By SCOTT M. LEWIS The Michigan basketball team's op- ponents tomorrow night finished first in their conference last season with a 13-2 record last year, and came within two games of claiming a national cham- pionship. This year, they again have a legitimate shot at the national crown. Relax, Wolverine fans-it's only an exhibition game, and the opponent is Windsor, a team which Michigan defeated, 135-75, last year. Game time at Crisler Arena is 8:05 p.m. AICIn 1979-80 the Lancers won the On- tario University Athletic Association, a competitive league by Canadian stan- dards but whose teams play at a calibre ~ ~ far below that of any Big Ten school. Their overall record was 18-15, with one Johnson of the victories coming at the expense of Wayne State. r rtst against Lancers Thus far this season, Windsor is 0-4, including a one-point loss to Wayne State two weeks ago. The Lancers, guided by first-year coach Nick Grabowski, have also fallen to Rice, Pan-American, and Texas. Why does Windsor schedule games against vastly superior foes? "We want the exposure to the best," said a team spokesman. "Our conference doesn't start until the second week in January. We like to line up for our kids some ex- perience with the big boys. They (the Windsor players) know what they're up against." Actually, Windsor has fared THE LINEUPS relatively well this season in com- parison to last, despite what its winless record might suggest. Rice defeated the Canadian team by only 11 points, while Texas topped the Lancers by 10. If those two games are valid indicators of what to expect tomorrow evening, Michigan coach Bill Frieder and his troops won't come away with another 60-point margin of victory.

Mike McGee and Thad Garner open at the forwards, Paul Heuerman at cen- ter, and Marty Bodnar and Johnny Johnson at guard. Johnson has been hobbled recently by an ankle sprain, but returned to practice last week. Pistons rip Nets PONTIAC (AP)-Phil Hubbard scored 21 points to lead the Detroit Pistons to a 117-103 vic- tory over the New Jersey Nets in a National Basketball Association game Saturday night at the Silverdome. After New Jersey, 8-14, hit the first basket of the game, Detroit made its next eight baskets to take a 16-2 lead, one which the Pistons never relinquished. Detroit led 32-21 at the end of the first quarter, and took a 58-48 halftime lead. In the third quarter, Cliff Robinson hit 11 of his 24 game points and Edgar Jones scored eight of his game-high 25 points to bring the Nets to within one point on two occasions.

The elty of the Canadian woods. The only rOble is the lake is dead, and it was the snow that killed it. Each snowflake carries its share of acid compounds that over time have killed off fish and plant life in the lake. This acid precipitation is one of the --vest air pollution threats facing a, say increasinglyiworried en- "'ironmentalists. THE ACIDIC RAIN that falls onto the 'fo'ests of Canada's southern Ontario province, the mountains of northern Nv York, or the backwoods of Maine n end-product of smoke that floats 'to the skies hundreds or thousands of miles away-from fuel-burning power plants in the Ohio Valley, from automobiles on a Detroit freeway, from smelters in Ontario. The dimensions of the problem can be staggering: the" superstack" at the Inco-nickel- smelting complex in Sudbury, Ontario, is. estimated to pour more dangerous sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere in 10 years than all the volcanic eruptions in history. " There are millions of lakes in susceptible areas of the eastern United States and Canada. Only a minuscule fraction have been checked. but already 140 lakes have been declared dead in Ontario, and 178 in New York's Adirondack Mountains. Many, many more may already be lost. * The'Canadian government has roughly calculated that to cut the pollutants in half at the source by re- equipping plants might cost $5 million a year in Canada and $5 billion to $7 billion a year in the Urijted States. "IS THE COST worth it? This is the question people have avoided for years-trying to put a dollar sign on a natural environment," said Martin Rivers, head of the Canadian gover- nment's air pollution control office. The question cannot be avoided any longer, he said in an interview. "The preliminary projections are that in 18 or 28 years you can just write off the environment of eastern Canada. The "death" of lakes is the most visible and immediate effect of the air- borne poisoning, but environmentalists fear that forests, agriculture and even human beings may also fall victim. PROBABLY HALF the acid rain falling in Canada originates -in the plagues United States and some in Canada con- tend Washington is not doing enough to control it. The two nations signed a "memoran- dum of intent" three months ago pledging to study the problem more in- tensely and to begin negotiations by next June 1 on a treaty to control the pollution. But Canadians are concerned that American plans to convert more power plants to coal-one of the biggest sour- ces of acid rain-and the election of Ronald Reagan as president may derail these efforts. Reagan has made clear he believes some environmental con- trols are already too stringent. "WE ARE THE victims," Quebec. province environmental official Denis Vincent said recently. "It's mostly the Americans who are the aggressors. But with their energy worries they are not likely to be in a sympathetic mood." Acid rain starts when a fossil fuel is burned or a sulfur-bearing metal is smelted, releasing sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. The compounds mix with water vapor and form sulfuric or nitric acid, which is carried along in clouds over long distances, finally falling as precipitation. Ironically, earlier air-pollution con- trol efforts may have contributed to the problem. In the 1970s, many utilities and other polluters were forced to build taller smokestacks to better disperse their emissions and reduce ground- Ontario level pollution in the immediate area. But emissions from taller stacks had to go somewhere. THE RAIN IN most cases is only mildly acidic, but in some extreme in- stances it has resembled vinegar in its acidity. The rain's effects on dry land is being debated. Some scientists say that, initially at least, the sulfur and nitrogen help fertilize the soil. But Rivers and others say imbalances will inevitably result, and forests and crops will be af- fected. Between 1950 and 1970, Southern Scandinavia-recipient of much European air pollution. Scientists suspect acid rain was the cause. The solutions lie in several areas: scrubber systems to clean the smoke, requirements for cleaner fuels, fur- naces that burn more efficiently. Canadians wary of the U.S. coal lobby, American energy worries and other factors say there are small steps that U.S. and Canadian governments can take now, such as enforcing emission standards more strictly.

IP ET R.VTiu ALS t Re'pO MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)-A box of let- ters and business papers, hidden away in a bank vault for almost a century, is helping fill the gaps in the story of Jef- ferson Davis, president of the Con- federate States of America. Scholars who have seen the letters say they could change the way history views the man who piloted the South -through the Civil War. The letters go on .public display Nov. 25 at Memphis State 'University, where they will be 'available for research. In contrast to the haughty Davis por- -trayed in history books, the let- ters-most written by Davis to his son- an-law, Joel Addison Hayes Jr., bet- 'ween 1864 and 1882-reveal Davis as a man who cared deeply about his family -and worried about the Southern soldiers and civilians who, suffered because of :the war. AND DESPITE imprisonment and years of financial distress following the - South's defeat; none of Davis' letters express anger at his treatment. Most of the letters deal with Davis' :tangled business and legal 4ffairs, primarily his long battle to win title to ;Brierfield, the Mississippi plantation his brother, Joseph, gave him 30 years before secession. Throughout the collection is evidence Davis was bothered by the same problems facing other Southerners of F the day, high prices, poor medical care, taxes and difficulty in finding depen- dable workers. THE COLLECTION includes 35 per- sonal letters and an assortment of :financial records. Among the latter are ;bills for medical care and a funeral for ;Jefferson Davis Jr., a victim of the 1878 :yellow fever epidemic in Memphis. . The existence of the Davis papers was known to but a few Davis heirs and :officials of the First Tennessee Bank ,until recently. The bank had had :custody of the collection since 1882 because Hayes, who married Margaret .Howell Davis in 1876, was then cashier of the State National Bank, one of First 'enns ,see's predecessors. The papers were kept in a strong box in the bank vault until two years ago vhen they were turned over to the John .Willard Brister Library at Memphis State.

The postage stamps bear the 1880s price of sending a letter-three cents. In letter dated Nov. 26, 1880, Davis wrote of his pleasure over Hayes' collection of an outstanding debt. Nevertheless, Davis said he was retur- ning the draft toHayes.
