Hopson merely suf- fered a jammed finger. By BOB WOJNOWSKI In this bleakest of Michigan basketb- all seasons, head coach Bill Frieder ad- ed another ray of hope for the future er the weekend, as he secured a commitment from 6-9% Detroit Cooley center Roy Tarpley to attend Michigan. Tarpley, who is averaging 28 points, 22 rebounds and seven blocked shots per game for Cooley, joins 6-8 forward Paul Jokisch of Birmingham Brother Rice as recruits already bagged by Frieder. "WE'RE VERY happy to get Royy" said Frieder. "He's very quick, p good buper, a good shot-blocker and reboun- , a good scorer around the basket - and he'll give us some size up front." Tarpley is playing his first season in Detroit after spending his early basket- ball days in Mobile, Alabama. He tran- sferred to Cooley after living with his uncle in Detroit this past summer. While playing on a senior-dominated team in Mobile his junior year, Tarpley scored just six points a game, but he sprouted two-and-a-half inches in the off-season and is still growing. Most Big Ten schools, as well as Marquette and Louisville, were reported to be interested in Tarpley, but the lanky pivotman said the choice wasn't a difficult one. . "EVER SINCE I was young, Michigan wps considered' a great school, especially academic-wise," he said. "I've seen the team play, and I know what they need. They have all the ingredients for a great team - they just need the big guy." Frieder has no doubts that Tarpley's commitment will convince others to come to Michigan. "It certainly helps," said Frieder. - "Right now we're looking at a good recruiting year, and we're on the verge of a great one." A GREAT ONE would include the signing of 6-9 center Robert Henderson of Lansing Eastern, whom Freider is recruiting to play forward. Henderson, who nearly made his announcement last week, has narrowed his choices to Michigan and Michigan State and is reportedly leaning toward the Wolverines. Another asset Michigan has going for it in the recruiting wars is the play of freshman guard Eric Turner, whom Tarpley credits with helping to make his decision that much easier. "With a point guard like that, there'll be no pro lems getting me the ball," he said. "Hi sees the whole court real well." WHILE FRIEDER is planning on using Tarpley mainly at center where he will contend for the starting berth with the currently injured Tim McCor- mick, he doesn't discount the possibility of using the recruit elsewhere. "Roy has unlimited potential, and we look for him to help us out any where in the -front -line," said Frieder. "He should add a lot of competition for all the starting spots." Tarpley is looking forward to helping out wherever he can in his first season as a Wolverine. "I expect to play center, though I've always wanted to said. "I just hope out, get it back to play my hardest; and get used to the Big Ten." .:. ... 4,. r BIG BIDDING AT CARD CONVENTION: How much for that Gehrig in the window? a i M SCORES Thursday Basketball Independent Bits and Pieces 76, Merrill's Phantoms 23 Arbory Pirates 69.

They often trade for their favorite player or' team and then spend the afternoon playing imaginary games with their newly acquired cards. Some people never quite grew out of that childhood stage and have taken on card-collecting as a serious hobby. A group of these big kids gathered at the Holiday Inn West Saturday to talk, deal, and sell at the annual'Baseball Card Show in Ann Arbor. "IT'S PROBABLY the fastest growing hobby in the country,'" proudly stated Steve Clark, a high school football coach who travelled in from Ohio for the event. Clark was one of the more than 100 people who attended the show which was mainly comprised of baseball car- ds but also included other sports memorabilia, such as old Michigan and Detroit Tiger game programs. Also among the ponular items were Bo Derek and Dallas Cowgirl trading car- ds. But it was the baseball cards that everybody came to see. Among the mocst-sought-after items at~ the convention were Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle cards, which comman- ded prices of more than $50 apiece. Un- fortunately for the collectors, the' biggest prize of all - a Honus Wagner card reportedly worth $25,000 - elided all of them. MOST OF, THE persons gathered at the Holiday Inn were . interested in completing parts of their already- expansive collections that engulfed several tables. Clark, -who once coached Michigan football players Lawrence Ricks and Paul Girgash in an all-star game, is typical of adult baseball card collec- tors. He began a little over one year ago and already has every card set of the last decade. HE IS CURRENTLY working on completion of 1950's and 1960's sets. He attends an average of one card con- vocation per week and has assembled a collection that he estimates to be worth more than $10,000. "Although it's worth a lot, I have no intention of selling it because I have gotten too much enjoyment out of it," said Clark, who compares his collecting addiction to gambling. rY"summER camps The Ann Arbor Y is now accepting applications for staff positions at the following camps: CAMP AL-GON-QUTAN: a resident camp for boys and girls located on Burt Lake in northern Mich.
