'M' lands stellar By BOB WOJNOWSKI "I'm elated. There's definitely joy in Ann Arbor."1 That was Michigan head basketball coach Bill Frieder's reaction yesterday after, as expected, five high school seniors inked letters-of-intent to play basketball for the Wolverines. FRIEDER AND his assistants retur- ned from various points across the country with the signatures of 6-9% Roy Tarpley of Detroit Cooley, 6-9 Robert Henderson of Lansing Eastern, 6-8 Paul Jokisch of Birmingham Brother Rice, 6-7 Butch Wade of Boston Technical and 6-6 Richard Rellford of Suncoast High in Riviera Beach, Fla. Yesterday marked the official signing day for high school recruits and the Wolverines may have fared as well as anyone. One national publication lists the recruiting classes of Michigan, Illinois, Duke and Notre Dame as, the top four in the nation. "We think it's a good class," said Frieder. "But I think expectations are going to be higher than they should be for next year. You have to give fresh- men time-they have a lot to learn. I don't care what their stats are." FOR A PROGRAM that has suffered the disappointment of repeated near- misses on top recruits in past years, this was definitely a recruiting cam- paign of sweet success for the Wolverines. "We-started out with a list of 12 or 14 guys that we wanted and we got five of them, which is a pretty good percen- tage," said Frieder. "We didn't take any backups and we didn't miss on anyone. These are the guys we wan- ted." Wade, who was the last recruit to verbally commit to Michigan, said that quality of education was the number one factor that lured him to Ann Arbor. "It has a lot of things to offer; a good program, a good league and good coaches-and the education," said Wade. "And I've been interested since last summer when they started showing a lot of interest in me." HENDERSON, who was fiercely recruited by Michigan State, feels even more confident now of his choice to play for the Wolverines. "I'm glad I picked Michigan because a lot of people haven't been too nice to me up here (East Lansing) since I an- nounced," said Henderson, the state of Michigan's Mr. Basketball this year. "I feel that the Michigan players and the coaching staff are suited to my needs. I'm ready to get out of Lansing." The sifnings yesterday wrapp up this year s recruiting and left Mchigan with four frontline freshmen and one-Rellford-whom Frieder hopes to- try in the backcourt next season. But there are no pure guards in the fresh- man crop and one can only speculate that one guard position is being saved for the superlative junior from Detroit Southwestern, Antoine Joubert. WHILE MICHIGAN was signing its recruits, other schools around the state and the nation were also gathering signatures. Michigan State signed 6-5 guard Patrick Ford out.of Detroit Cass Tech as well as 6-8 forward Ralph Walker of Southfield. Illinois signed 6-10 Efrem Winters of Chicago King and 6-3 Bruce Douglas of Quincy (Ill.)-just two of the players that comprise one of the best recruiting classes the Illini have ever had.

Mees won the match 6-0, 6-0. .: _ Leach leads men over MS U By LARRY MISHKIN Just when the rest of the Big Ten thought it was safe to start playing Michigan in tennis again, following the Wolverines first loss in 34 matches, Michigan served warning to its conference cohorts that it is:still a power to be reckoned with, trouncing Michigan State 8-1 yesterday afternoon at the varsity tennis courts. The Wolverines dropped only two sets in the entire match as they took their frustrations of the Wisconsin loss out on their cross-state rivals., MICHAEL LEACH and Mark Mees set the tone of the match as they both easily crushed their opponen- ts. Leach knocked off Steve Yorimoto 6-1, 6-1 and Mees stopped Scott King without losing a game 6-0, 6- 0. For Leach, though, the win was especially hear- tening: "This was my best performance to date," said the AlY-American. "I had been struggling. I hit a minor tennis slump, my first one in three years. It took me by surprise and I was not ready to handle it. Today, though, I was back on the ball and hopefully I can carry it over and finish playing top tennis." Michigan coach Brian Eisner was also pleased with Leach and Mees. "THEY ARE the leadership of this team," said Eisner. "They are the two top quality players in this part of the country. They pick everyone on the team up." The lone Spartan victory of the match came at third singles where State's Jeff Wickman defeated Bill Godfrey who moved up from sixth singles to fill in for Tom Hayden who is suffering from a sore arm, 6- 4, 6-2. "Bill was not the same player today," said Eisner. "Not to take anything away from their player, but Bill has some personal problems and it affected his play today." ROSS LASER turned in a fine performance at four- th singles, handily defeating Francisco Amaya 6-3, 6- 0. Eisner was happy to see Laser win as the sophomore had had some rough outings in his last few matches. "Ross started out like the other matches going up 2- 1 with a service break," said Eisner, "but this time he went on and took control of the set and that's what he should do. The win was good for him because he had some losses to good players and it was-beginning to hurt his confidence." Ihor Debryn had to change his strategy a bit, but still won with little trouble at fifth singles as he downed Marc Cohen 6-3, 6-3.! "I WAS TRYING to attack as often as possible," said Debryn, "but he was pretty smart and when I came up to the net he would throw up a lob and it is difficult to see the ball outside so I had to stay back more than usual." Rodd Schreiber got a bit lackadaisical in his sixth singles match but woke up in enough time to beat Joe Obrien 6-4, 7-5. The doubles teams had no problems as Leach and Mees defeated Yorimoto and King 6-2, 6-2, Schreiber and John Efstatos, playing in only his second varsity match, beat Wickman and Cohen 6-2, 6-4 and Debryn and Laser beat Obrien and Smith 6-2, 7-5.

"We definitely played rather flat," said Michigan coach Oliver Owens. "We didn't play particularly well but then Eastern's got a good team." ALL-AMERICAN Marian Kremer came out on top once again as she swept over opponent Stacey Lightvoet, 6-0, 6 2. In the number two singles spot Mary MacTaggart downed Kathy Horton, 7-6, 6-3 while Jane Silfen in the number three seat took Huron Mary Jo Colonna, 6-3, 6-2. Michigan's only singles defeat came in the number four spot as Karen Milc- zarski went down in a tough battle against Eastern's Tracy Varker, 6-4, 6- 3. MICHIGAN came back with a couple, more wins to finish off the singles ac- tion as Jill Hertzman came away with a convincing defeat of Cathy Moore, 6-1, 6-2 and Juliet Naft in the sixth singles spot beat Sue Neely with a two-set score of 6-1,6-3. "The scores really don't indicate the quality of play," said Eastern coach Claudia Wasik. "A couple points either way could have made the difference." Eastern would have needed more than a couple points to defeat the fast- paced Wolverine netters, and as they went into doubles action already down 5-1 their hopes of a victory were erased. The only thing the Hurons could do now was rally in doubles and try to make the final score close, something which Michigan hasn't experienced in a little while. "I'D LIKE to see us do good in doubles," said Owens. "We've really been working hard at it." The netters did not disappoint their coach and came out of doubles winning two matches out of the three. The only doubles defeat Michigan suffered came in the number three spot as Juliet Naft and Marrianne Ring teamed up against the Huron's Varker and Beatrice Grech-cumbo, Varker and Grech-cumbo are an undefeated doubles duo, but the Michigan twosome did not go down without a fight; they finally conceeded the match, though, 6- 4, 6-4. IN THE number two position the Wolverine team of MacTaggart and Risdon never let up on the Hurons' Lightvoet and Horton, finishing them off with a final score of 6-2, 6-1. Michigan's number one doubles team of Kremer and Silfen dominated in a match against a Huron pair who had never played number one doubles before, coming out with a score of 6-3, 6- 1. 'Jane really played well, I felt I was a little lackadaisical," said Kremer of her doubles play with Silfen. "I let Jane really carry the match, she played great today." "They started off good but as the match got going they fell apart," said Silfen of their doubles opponents. "We definitely got stronger and I don't know whether they fell asleep, lost their con- fidence, or what, but we won." UNISEX Long or Short Haircuts by Professionals at .-..
