Page 8-Thursday, January 6, 1983-The Michigan Daily r Straight from the source's mouth By RON POLL ACK Consolation prizes for Barb's Wire By BARBEBARKER ii I1 By RON POLLACK CALIFORNIA has the great weather, the beautiful coeds and a lot more jobs available than the state of Michigan could ever hope to offer. UCLA has its famous song girls and proximity to the warm sun and all the employment opportunities in this west coast state. The Bruins also won the 69th annual Rose Bowl. Michigan, on the other hand, lost the game and had to return to cold, windy Ann Arbor where the girls are all bundled up and the nearby jobs are virtually nonexistant. With all of this in mind, it only seems fair that con- solation prizes be given out to the players and coaches of the Michigan football team. To Anthony Carter-San Diego Chargers' quarterback Dan Fouts. To Steve Smith-A Michigan Stadium crowd which doesn't boo his every mistake, a replacement for Carter and a healed shoulder. To Dave Hall-Hindsight on the pass play in the Rose Bowl in which UCLA linebacker Blanchard Montgomery stepped in front of Carter, plucked the ball out of the air and returned it 11 yards for a touchdown. To Vince Bean-The opportunity to become a more prominent part of the offense now that Carter is done hogging the limelight. To Dan Rice and Eddie Garrett-More yards for these two fullbacks in a season than the starting tailback has carries. To Kerry Smith-More playing time. for this crowd favorite in games before a 30-point lead has been built. To Ben Logue, Bob Perryman and Thomas Wilcher- A lot of patience. In high school, these running backs ran for huge chunks of yardage. As freshmen this past season, they spend huge chunks of time on the bench. 'M'football squad To Craig Dunaway-No more jokes about his speed. To Rick Rogers, Dan Rice, Dave Hall, Steve Smith, Robert Thompson, Kevin Brooks, Tom Dixon, Doug James, Jeff Cohen, Nate Davis and Ricky Davis-The option of trading names with Triando Markray. To Triando Markray-Failure by the Wolverine coaching staff to recruit Cincinnati Moeller's All- American running back Hiawatha Francisco, thereby allowing Markray to continue to have the team's most interesting name. To Stefan Humphries and Robert Thompson-Con- tinued success in the classroom for these two academic All-Americans. To Paul Girgash-A jersey that stays tucked in. To Mike Boren-The first annual Ed "we're gonna kick their ass" Muransky Award for being the most quotable player on the team. To Michigan's defensive backs-A schedule made up entirely of run-oriented teams. To the Michigan defensive line-A more effective pass rush. To Bo Schembechler-Five minutes in a boxing ring with Illinois head coach Mike White, UCLA head coach Terry Donahue, the media member of his choice or any Big Ten official or referee. To Gary Moeller and Elliot Uzelac-A second chance at becoming head coach. To the whole team-A schedule which doesn't include UCLA. To the whole team-A chance to see a halftime per- formance by the Michigan marching band -"The Best Damn Band in the Land," as evidenced by its winning the first ever Sudler Trophy. To the entire team-A press contingent made up en- tirely of men so that players don't have to scramble for towels as they did at the beginning of this season, before the locker room was ruled off limits to the media.

Grote now By JEFFREY BERGIDA A great basketball team always seems to have one starter who rarely gets any recognition. He scores less points than his more-publicized team- mates, but seems to be working harder than anyone on the floor. A Bobby Jones, playing in Julius Er- ving's shadow or a Lee Raker,who kept people away from Ralph Sampson at Virginia. On the outstanding Michigan teams of the mid-1970's, the role was filled by guard Steve Grote. Although he didn't make many headlines between 1974-77, Grote did leave his mark on the game as the an- swer to the trivia question "Who was the first college basketball player to par- ticipate in four NCAA tournaments?" He was co-captain of the '76-'77 squad which ranked number one in the pre- season polls and an important part of the previous year's team which lost to a key play Indiana in the NCAA finals. AFTER graduating from Michigan, Grote moved from the floor to the broadcast booth. His first year out of school was spent with Ann Arbor's WUOM and he moved from there to Channel 50 and ON-TV. The former academic All-Big Ten player is now in is second season with CBS covering college basketball after spending a year doing the Big Ten Game of the Week for TVS and NCAA tournament games for NBC. Grote's philosophy on the game was set even before he got to Michigan. "I er for CBSA Grote's junior year was topped off by the biggest game in recent Michigan cage history - the 1976 NCAA finals. The Cinderella Wolverine five, which had five losses during the regular season was defeated, 86-68, by the mighty Indiana Hoosiers, 32-0, led by Kent Benson, Quinn Buckner, and Scott May. One would think that the Michigan players'were nervous goin' into the game but Grote remember. things differently. "WE WERE very conident going to the finals. We would have beaten them during the regular season if it wasnwt 4 Iy, al~ b &e I' 1!

Grote ... starter for '76 finalists for one of the real screw-ups in college history.". Grote was referring to a 72-67 Hoosier' overtime victory in which the Wolveri- nes possessed a four-point lead and the ball with forty seconds remaining. In- diana tied the game with a controver- sial tip-in at the buzzer. "The officials took the game away from us," said A still bitter Grote. In Grote's senior year, the Wolverines, with stars like Rickey Green and Phil Hubbard, were favored to take the title but were upset in the Midwest Regionals by Cedric Max- well's North Carolina-Charlotte crew. The co-captain doesn't believe the Wolverines had a let-down, "'They were just better than we gave them credit for being." The Cleveland Cavaliers- made StevA Grote their third-round draft choice in 1977 but the guard was cut on the day before the season started. Grote has an interesting viewpoint on his situation in Cleveland. "I didn't play well enough to stick around. They were being nice keeping me around that long." He never strayed from basketball however, and Grote is still working hard. CBS sent him out to Los Angeles to cover the Iowa-USC game earlie4 this year and this month he will an- nounce the Tulsa-Bradley contest on the 22nd and the Alabama-Birmingham- DePaul clash on the 29th. "They send me wherever they need me," notes Grote, still a team player. NOTE: Please specify if you want new books.
