SPORTS The Michigan Daily Wednesday, February 9, 1983 Page 7 'Bo goes By BOB WOJNOWSKI While cross-state rival Michigan State is reaping the bulk of the state's high school foot- ball talent, Michigan head coach Bo Schem- bechler and his staff will be collecting the majority of their signatures from out-of-state, as high school seniors begin signing national let- ters-of intent today. Rookie Spartan head coach George Perles has apparently done well in his first few weeks on the job as Michigan State is expected to sign seven of the top 15 players in the state. Michigan has got- ten a verbal commitment from just one member of the All-State team - 6-3, 220-pound fullback- linebacker Carlitos Bostic of Ypsilanti. Schem- bechler has been concentrating his efforts elsewhere and is expected to sign some of the top prospects from the states of Florida and Illinois. } GERALD WHITE, a 6-2, 205-pound running back from Titusville High School in Florida and considered by some to be one of the top three runners in the country, will sign with Michigan today. White rushed for 1,737 yards while averaging seven yards per carry and leading his team to a 12-2 record and the state Class AAA out of state to n& -M championship. Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, UCLA and North Carolina provided the chief com- petition for White's services, who is part of the cream of a fine crop of high school seniors in Florida this year. 'The consensus seems to be that there's not a Herschel Walker or a Marcus Dupree in this year's class.' NCAA official Mike Gilleran "The consensus seems to be that there's not a Herschel Walker or a Marcus Dupree in this year's class," says the NCAA's Mike Gilleran. "But there are a lot of top players, particularly in the South and especially in Florida." Wide receiver Gene Lawson of Ft. Lauderdale, a 5-11, 170-pound speedster, and Billy Dawson, a 6-1, 165-pound all-around athlete from Evanston Township High in Illinois will provide Schem- bechler with two outstanding receiver prospects. GLENN MOGLE, a massive 6-8, 275-pound lineman from Sarasota, Fla. rounds out Michigan's so-called "Florida Connection." Dawson, described by Evanston Township High head coach Tom Powers as "the best all- around athlete I've ever seen in my 25 years of coaching," heads a bumper crop of future Wolverines from the state of Illinois. Russ Rein, a 6-0, 180-pound quarterback from Chicago Marist is also expected to sign with Michigan today. Rein completed 112 of 185 passes last season for 2,145 yards and 20 touch- downs and is said to have a super arm and good leadership qualities. He has excellent speed (4.7 in the 40) and is widely regarded as the finest passer in the state. His career stats include 4,100 yards passing and 38 touchdowns. tb top r MIKE O'CONNOR, a 6-2, 195-pound end from Kankakee; Andre McIntyre, a 6-2, 250-pound linebacker from Chicago's Mendel High; Matt Morgan, a 6-3, 235-pound lineman from Chicago Lane Tech, and Doug Mallory, a 6-2, 220-pound linebacker from DeKalb and the brother of Wolverine sophomore linebacker Mike Mallory, are the rest of Michigan's Illinois recruits. Other high school seniors who will sign with Michigan today include: Andy Borowski, a 6-4, 245-pound lineman from Cincinnati; Garland Rivers, a 6-2, 185-pound defensive back from Canton, Ohio; Bill Harris, a 6-2, 250-pound mid- dle guard from Xenia, Ohio; Chris Zurbrugg, a 6- 2 190-pound quarterback from Alliance, Ohio; Pete Wentworth, a 6-2, 220-pound quarterback from Louisville; Dan Holloway, a 6-2, 220-pound lineman from Detroit St. Martin DePorres; Sean Guffey, a 6-4, 240-pound lineman from Coleman, Wis; and Dave Bergeron, a 6-5, 260-pound lineman from Grosse Point North. Six-foot-5, 230-pound defensive lineman, Terrance Mann of Detroit Cooley, the top prospect in the state, announced earlier that he would attend Southern Methodist University. cruits Schembechler ... lands prep standouts No pucks allowed Chiamp is a winner in 'M' nets By MIKE MCGRAW "When I'm in a game, it feels good to get a hard shot at me right away1 that gets me going," says Michigan goalie Mark Chiamp. Two weeks ago at jam-packed Yost Ice Arena, however, one of the first shots taken by Michigan State, a burner from the right point by Dan McFall, just eluded Chiamp and boosted the Spartans into the lead with just three minutes of the opening period gone. BUT AS anyone who witnessed the contest would know, Chiamp went on to play a phenomenal game in the net, making 33 saves and allowing nationally-ranked MSU only one more tally the rest of the night as the Wolverines lost a 2-1 thriller. "We had a lot of scoring opportunities, and we needed them against Chiamp," said State coach Ron Mason after the game. "That was an exciting game to play in, but it doesn't mean as much since we lost," said Chiamp. "No one on our team likes State and I'm sure they hate us also." BUT DESPITE earning number-one-star honors in that game, Chiamp still has to improve, according to Michigan hockey coach John Giordano. "He's not playing very well right now," Giordano said. "He needs to work on his placement on the ice while taking on shots. He'll be a good goalie, he just hasn't broken through on his concentration level." Even though Chiamp may have his weaknesses, he has to be pleased with the opportunity he is getting to correct them. This season he has been splitting nearly every series with the Wolverines' other goalie, sophomore Jon Elliott. "Jon and I differ quite a bit in style. He's bigger so he doesn't have to move around as much," commented the 5-7 Chiamp. "I have to rely more on quickness so I tend to be more aggressive." LAST SEASON while playing behind Elliott and senior Peter Mason, Chiamp only appeared in three non-conference' games. "It was weird last year, sitting out just about the whole season, because everywhere I had played befo're college, I was starting," said the East Detroit native. "But I didn't lose confidence and I'm happy to be getting a chance to play this year. I'll never regret my decision to come here. "Michigan was always my first college choice, but I had trouble with my grades. So I did what they do in Canada - took the 'thirteenth grade,' " said Chiamp. "I wasn't sure at first if I would be recruited here, though, because they had Paul Fricker. But then I heard he was turning pro and that left the job open." SO CHIAMP got his chance and in the 17 games he's ap- peared in this year, he's accumulated a 3.98 goals against average and a 6-7 record, while playing behind a young and inexperienced defense. This is the form that earned Chiamp a spot in the National Sports Festival the past two seasons where he and teammate Ted Speers earned gold and bronze medals in the summer, competition. "The Sports Festival was a lot of fun and it got me geared up for training camp the past two seasons," said Chiamp, who is very enthusilstic about the future of his team. "I'm looking forward to next year, the defense will have gotten much better," he said."Plus I know that we're not recruiting another goalie." "But we're definitely not blowing off the rest of this year, I know we're going to make the playoffs," he said, "and in a two-game series, anything can happen."

"Stars sign Bryant PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Running back Kelvin Bryant and offensive tackle Irv Eatman, two of last season's top college players, signed lucrative multi-year contracts with the. Philadelphia Stars of the United States Football League yesterday. The Stars also announced the signing of Scott Fitzkee, a wide receiver who played out his option with the National Football League's San Diego Chargers, and Roger Jackson, a safety on Penn State's 1982 national collegiate cham- pionship team. BRYANT'S agent, Perry Deering, said the player signed for four years for about $2 million, making him the highest paid player in the fledgling USFL. Bryant said he didn't think he was taking a gamble by choosing the USFL over the NFL because his long-term contract was guaranteed. He added that he might have waited to make a choice between the leagues if the NFL draft had been earlier. "But I came here to visit, was pleased with the organization and liked the idea of playing in the spring," he said. BRYANT, A 6-foot-2, 195 pounder, was only the third player in Atlantic Conference history to gain 1,000 yards or more in three consecutive seasons. Eatman, from UCLA, who is believed to have been given a four-year deal for close to $1 million, said he felt the USFL would be a competitive league. W Tigers Fitzkee, who played two years for the. Philadelphia Eagles before being dealt to San Diego, caught only three passes last season and jumped the NFL because of a lack of playing time. He reportedly received a guaranteed three-year deal. Fitzkee admitted he was "two or three percent skeptical, but if you give this thing (USFL) a couple of years, I think it will go." Meanwhile, the Stars apparently have given up on trying to sign Penn State running back Curt Warner. War- ner's demands are too high for the Stars, and he wants to play in the NFL.
