"When I first came up here, I was still kind of wild," says Carraway, who will play his final game in Michigan Stadium this Saturday when the Wolverines host Purdue. "But when I got here I settled down and took care of business. I didn't have any respon- sibilities (in high school) and when I got here I started taking care of respon- sibilities." NOT THE least of which was the responsibility of anchoring the Michigan defensive line. The 6-2, 240- pound tackle from Detroit grabbed the job midway through his sophomore year, maintained it through an injury- riddled junior campaign, and has now blossomed in it during his senior year.

"A lot of times those guys inside go unnoticed, but he's played real hard," says head coach Bo Schembechler, who calls Carraway his best defensive lineman. Carraway was one of the principles in the Wolverines' goal line stand that preserved last Saturday's victory over Illinois, but it was his ability to remain calm in the heated emotional action that probably best exemplifies his maturity. "THEY (THE Illini) were doing a lot of talking and the players were cheap- shotting us," he says. "Their coaches kept teasing me, kept-calling my name out. But it didn't bother me or the other players because deep down inside I knew we were the better team. I knew we were going to win. I just kept my mouth shut and played ball." It is that type of confidence that has put Carraway and the Wolverines in the position of wrapping up the Big Ten title with a win over the Boilermakers this weekend, in spite of the fact that they lost two of their first three games. "We knew we played poorly at Notre Dame and we just wiped it out of our minds because we knew we were going to win the Big Ten," says Carraway. "We said to ourselves we were going to do it. We had a lot of senior meetings and we said that we were going to lead the team. "WE'RE GOING to practice hard this week. If we wrap it up against Purdue we don't have to go down to Columbus worried about Ohio State. We'll just go down there and play good football." And those seniors who have buoyed the Wolverines this season will be taking their final bows in Michigan Stadium this weekend, which will mean a flood of mixed emotions for Carraway. "I'm sure every senior is going to feel down after that last game, but this is a championship game," he says. "I'm always thinking back. Once the clock goes off and if we win the game, I'll be happy and I'll also be sad knowing I'll never step on that field again." AND AS Carraway's career at Michigan winds down, he talks about the man who more than anyone else has shaped him into the type of ballplayer, and person, that he thinks he is. "Me and Bo have a good relationship where we can sit down and talk about different things," he says. "He tells me things I have to do, things I need to do." One of the things that Schembechler most likely advises him on is that ultimate level of athletic maturity- the pros. And that is something that Carraway is definitely considerin4 though realistically. "I think of the possibility of getting drafted," says the education major. "But if not, I'll just use my degree. "I think it's in every kid's dream world to play in the pros, and since I've come this far, I'd like to give it a try." A badly-sprained ankle hampere Carraway some last year and force him to miss a few games in the middle of the season, but he recovered quickly and has picked up again this year. He has 23 unassisted tackles and 14 assists and has been a mainstay in an im- proving defense. However, it is not athletic improvement that has marked Carraway's four years as a Wolverine, but rather a personal character im- provement that he is intensely proud of "Being around a lot of older peop and dealing with different types of people, it's a lot different from high school," he says. "But I've always been happy here. "I'm an emotional player on the field but off the field I'm kind of quiet. I don't run around a lot, going to lots of parties, though I do go out and associate some. My senior year here I've just played ball and gone to school." , And the lessons he learned were never taught.

Pistons roll past Indiana Z By RICH WIENER Special to the Daily PONTIAC - The Detroit Pistons coasted to a 115-91 NBA win over the Indiana Pacers last night at the Silver- dome. Detroit's Kelly Tripucka led all scorers with 28 points and Isiah Thomas and Walker Russell added 16 points apiece for the Pistons. "We established our fast break and defense early," said Piston coach Scot- ty Robertson after the game. "We've got to run to be effective," he said, "and our running game fatigued in the end." THE VICTORY allowed the Pistons to retain their half-game lead over the Milwaukee Bucks, who defeated the Boston Celtics, 105-101, last night. If Detroit, who plays Milwaukee this Friday, handles the Bucks the way it did the Pacers, it should have no trouble extending its division lead. The Pistons led all the way, opening up with a 30-17 first-quarter advantage. They led 56-44 at halftime but blew the game wide open in the third as they went up on Indiana, 90-71. The victory margin was Detroit's biggest lead of the night. Tripucka, playing with a sore anklb, thought the game was a big one for the Pistons. "It was a big win for us," he said after the game. "We have to play well at home and, win the games like these that we should." Referring to the Milwaukee game, Tripucka said that the Pistons wi "have to play the basic offense ~ ano basic defense. It should be quite a physicaltest." The Pistons are now 6-2 and the Pacers are 2-4 with an 0-3 road record. Spartan cagers lose EAST LANSING, Mich.
