The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, January 26, 1983-Page 9 full court PRESS Cage notes: Everything you want to know and then some By JESSE BARKIN This just in from the Michigan lockerroom: ' If you think Michigan fans are useless, don't go to Toledo. At the Oklahoma State - Michigan game in the Toledo Blade Glass-City Classic, the Toledo rooters continually shouted "Sit down, down in front! !" It wouldn't have been so surprising except they were yelling at the Wolverine players who were off the bench near the end of the contest. " Detroit Southwestern's 6-5 sensation, Antoine Joubert, seems very con- fortable rapping with Leslie Rockymore in the Michigan lockerroom after home games. Unless he has a con- flicting engagement (a game of his own) Joubert can usually be spotted at Crisler Arena games. I " Upset: Michigan cheerleader Dave Miller lost a hand-walking con- test across the court last weekend at Bloomington to a Hoosier opponent. It is believed to be the gymnast's fir- .' st defeat. He is unbeaten in Crisler. More news from Bloomington. After the Hoosier 93-76 slaughter this weekend, coach Bobby Knight went into the Wolverine lockerroom to give encouragement to the young x ~ ' F "'Michigan cagers. When asked what Knight, who is known to speak basketball in technical terms (san- ts, criss-crosses, angles), said to the Wolverines, Bill Frieder said, "I Miller don't know. I can't understand what ... upset at Bloomington he says; I don't think anyone does." " At the beginning of the season much of the talk centered around the emergence of Eric Turner as an all-American. One local ON TV broadcaster even went as far as saying that there is no better guard in the country as the 6-3 Turner. Sorry folks, but potential does not count. He may someday become one of the greats, but right now I'll take UCLA's Rod Foster, Arizona State's Byron Scott, Marquette's Glenn Rivers, Notre Dame's John Paxson, and maybe even Indiana's Jim Thomas. By the way, all the aforementioned are upperclassmen which stands to prove ho valuable experience is. " With that in mind, it's scary to think how good the Wolverines could be in two years. " During the football season, Bo Schembechler discussed the possible im- plimentation of the alley-oop pass on the gridiron: "There's one guy on cam- pus who could do it if I could only get him out. But he's dribbling like a fool. I'm just kidding." Guess who? Wrong; Schembechler was talking about Roy Tarpley. " Open letter to Richard Rellford, Paul Jokisch, et al: Safety and injury prevention is all well and good, but please, please keep your mouth guards in your mouth. The woman sitting next to me at one game almost lost her nachos when Rellford picked his off the floor and shoved it back into his mouth - dirt and all. " Does it appear to you that Paul Jokish may contribute more to the Wolverine cause as a football player? This is not to belittle his hoop-playing skills, but the 6-8, forward is only averaging 7.3 minutes per game in the Big Ten. Besides, the 235-pounder is no slouch at tight end. " White towels have been surfacing in the student-filled sections behind the South basket at Crisler Arena lately, mimicking the Wolverine coach. Rumors are flyingthat Frieder actually buys his suits with towels already sewn onto the shoulders. " Two things bother me about the Michigan warm-ups. First of all, the stripes have got to go; and second, with all the money Don Canham has, why don't they get tear-off sweats. They are so cool. (Confidential to Tim Mc- Cormick - you don't tuck in warm-ups.) SPORTS OF THE DAILY: Knox BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Chuck Knox, the coach who rebuilt the Buffalo Bills from National Football League doormats to divisional champions, resigned yesterday when he could not agree with owner Ralph Wilson on an extended contract. Knox, who took over the Bills in 1978 after leading the Los Angeles Rams to five straight divisional titles, had one year left on his initial six-year contract. All contract obligations were waived, team spokesman Dave Senko said. "I APPRECIATE very much the support of Ralph Wilson and the oppor- tunity to coach the Bills these last five years," Knox said in prepared statement. He could not be reached at his home. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Rams' Executive Vice President Ray Nagel said, "If Chuck is interested in the LA coaching job, certainly I would be in- terested in talking with him about it." The Rams fired head coach Ray Malavasi at the end of the season. Knox chucks Bills' S 1 coached the Rams from 1973-1977. Knox reportedly was offered a job last summer as coach and general manager with the Phoenix team in the new United States Football League, and several NFL teams reportedly wanted his services. Knox has denied those reports. Knox's record in Buffalo was 37-36. His overall record after 10 years in the NFL is 95-58-1. Donahue stays at UCLA LOS ANGELES (AP) - UCLA foot- ball Coach Terry Donahue ended speculation that he might take a job in professional football by signing a new five-year contract with the university yesterday.

At the Miller Lite Distributor's Race, which took place on the weekend of January 15-16 at Crystal Mountain, both the men's and women's teams performed extremely well. The women captured top honors, while the men raced to a strong second-place finish behind Northwestern Michigan College. The women were led by Amy Honer, who zig-zagged her way into second place in the slalom event and zipped down the course for a third place in the giant-slalom race. Teammate Becky Johnson grabbed third in the slalom as the women handily won the event. The team score is the combined time of each school's top three finishers. The men, meanwhile, were paced by team captain Chris McCoy, who earned an eighth-place finish in the slalom race. Last weekend at the Crystal Mountain Cup Race, the women's team was once again king of the mountain, but the men's team had an uphill struggle and slipped to a fifth-place finish out of 14 schools. Honer provided Michigan its strongest finish as she took second place in the giant slalom race. Jim McCollough, the only bright spot on an otherwise bleak day for the men, finished ninth in the giant slalom. "The girls did well," said McCoy, "But we should have done better. Fifth place isn't very good; we're a lot better than that." CR OSS-CROUNTR Y SKIING The Michigan cross-country ski club also spent the weekend in the Great White North as 10 of its members raced in the Region III Championships at the Boyne Nordican Center. The ground may have been white at the start of the women's five-kilometer race, but the finish line was entirely Blue as Michigan's Linda Longo, Cammy Kelly, and Kathy Fillmore pushed their way to first, second, and third place respectively. Michigan performed as well in the men's 10-kilometer race where Jam Damman slid into second place and Adam Ruskin notched a third place finish. In the U.S. Ski Association 10-kilometer race, graduate students Sam James and Mike Muha raced to sixth- and ninth-place finishes. "We were very pleased because for several of the people who raced, it was their first time in snow this year," said Muha. The club will hold an indoor cross-country ski clinic on February 1 in the Ander- son Rooms of the Michigan Union at 8:00 p.m. The Club Sports Roundup relates briefly the activities of Michigan club sports during the previous week.

(AP) - The last, slim chance that Kentucky's Sam Bowie would play basketball this season passed yesterday when or- thopedists placed his broken left leg in another cast. The 7-foot-1 Bowie, who has not played since March 1981 because of the fractured shinbone, was X-rayed Tuesday at the Campbell Clinic in Memphis, Tenn. "SAM'S LEG looks a great deal bet- ter than at the last examination. The stress fracture is healing," Dr. R. kCalandruccio said in a statement released by the Kentucky sports infor- mation office. "We're going to play it safe and keep him in a new cast for another- six weeks," said Calandruccio, who per- formed a bone graft on Bowie's leg late last year. X-rays indicate the fracture is "filling in with bone," he said, and Bowie's new cast "will be such that he will be able to exercise the leg." KENTUCKY coach Joe B. Hall said he was "happy that Sam is still making improvement." "We're more encouraged than ever about his chances for a full recovery and for playing next season," Hall said. Bowie was red-shirted last season and has one year of eligibility remaining. Yankees keep May CHICAGO (UPI) - The Chicago White Sox, who lost a chance at signing veteran New York Yankees' pitcher Rudy May, huddled yesterday to decide whether to, select veteran Ferguson Jenkins from the rival Cubs or another' major league player. The American League ruled earlier in the day that May was not eligible to be on the Yankees' unprotected list because the veteran southpaw had a no- trade contract. MAY, 39, was chosen by Chicago last ason is cast Jenkins last week when they sur- prisingly found his name on the Cubs' unprotected list. Prior top boxer NEW YORK (AP) - Aaron Pryor, who foiled Alexis Arguello's bid to become the first man to win an un- precedented fourth title, was voted winner of the Edward J. Neil Award as Fighter of the Year for 1982 yesterday by the Boxing Writers Association of America. out again Pryor retained the World Boxing Association junior welterweight title by stopping Arguello in the 14th round of a fight marked by a tremendous ebb and flow Nov. 12 in the Orange Bowl. That victory keyed his close win in the voting over Larry Holmes, a 1978 Neil Award winner who twice defended the World Boxing Council heavy-weight champion - stopping previously un- beaten Gerry Cooney in the 13th round June 11 and easily outpointing Randy' "Tex" Cobb on Nov. 26.
