4 Page 8-Saturday, February 12, 1983-The Michigan Daily TurnerVincent, old rivalry continues By JIM DWORMAN Reload the guns. Eric Turner and Sam Vincent will duel again tonight at Jenison Field House in East ; Lansing as Michigan faces Michigan State in basket- ball. And Vincent is ready to come out shooting. "I always get fired up when I play against Eric," said the Spartan guard. "Our rivalry goes back to ; 11th grade. It adds a little intensity to tfie game." AND A LOT of scoring, too. In last Saturday's con- test between the two, both fired in 25 points. Turner, 1 however, threw up 30 shots while Vincent only took 17; shots in his team's 70-65 victory.1 Winning, of course, is the key to the rivalry and Vincent has the longer key chain. As a high school junior, the Lansing native and his Eastern High School team (which included current Wolverine for- ward Robert Henderson) traveled to Flint Central and beat Turner's squad. The following year Turner and Central went to Lansing and whipped Vincent 1 and co. Both earned All-American honors that year and : were the subject of an intense recruiting war between; the Wolverines and the Spartans. As history notes, the players remained on separate paths. "I REALLY was interested in Michigan at a time," recalled Vincent. "Eric was already there - he and I are good friends - and I had a lot of respect for coach Frieder and his staff. They really did a good job ofi THE LINEUI recruiting me. "But I wanted to stay at home. I have a lot of fan support here. I probably would have had a lot at Michigan, since it's still in the state, but not like here. You know, a lot of people talk about going out of state and getting away from Michigan, but really, there's nothing like just staying home." An 11.7 scoring average and two wins over Turner and Michigan gave Vincent a good reason to enjoy last season in his hometown. His year, however, might have been more enjoyable were it not for the presence of senior Kevin Smith in the Spartan back- court. Smith's style clashed with Vincent's - it was too similar - and the result was a less productive year than expected from the brother of one-time Big Ten scoring leader Jay Vincent. "I GUESS WE were both the same type of guards - mainly shooters," said Vincent. "We both could bring the ball up court and we both liked to shoot." This year, there is no such conflict between the Michigan State guards. Freshman Scott, Skiles meshes well with Michigan's original high school Mr. Basketball. "Scott's more of a point guard than Kevin, even though he scores very well," said Vin- cent. And it was the combination of Vincent, Skiles and forward Derek Perry which stopped the Wolverines in Crisler. The trio totaled 54 points in that contest Michigan" P S Player Turner ............................. HIGAN ST .:Rockymore:................... Mcrrormk ik................... .. ick Ford ......

"WE'VE GOT TO defend against Vincent, Perr and Skiles, as well as their front line," said Frieder o the Spartans. "What was discouraging about last week's game was that we did a very good job on their front line. (Ben) Tower and (Larry) Polec were one- for-ten (shooting) between and (Kevin) Willis wasn't much of a factor. And we still couldn't come up with a victory." Along with Willis and Perry, freshman Patrick Ford will start up front for Michigan State. Michigan will counter with Turner and center Tim McCormick, but after that, every position is up for grabs. "I'LL PICK MY lineup 10 minutes before game time," said Frieder. "We may even practice Satur- day morning and see what happens." A possibility is the use of a three-forward lineup by Frieder. The maneuver would be used as an attempt to rest Turner and Dan Pelekoudas, Michigan's only two guards. "Pelekoudas and Turner cannot both play 40 minutes," said Frieder. "We have to get them some rest. Whether we do that at the start, we'll have to see." To keep up with Vincent, they'll need all thi breathers they can get.

The Michigan squad, which is 4-0 overall (3-0 in the Big Ten), will be using this meet primarily as a tune-up for the Big Ten championships, accor- ding to coach Jon Urbanchek. THE BUCKEYES are led by All- American David Cowell in the butterfly events, and by reigning Big Ten cham- pion Gregory Masica in the long- distance freestyle races. Michigan's All-American diver Bruce Kimball will also see his toughest challenge of the year, according to Ur- banchek. The Buckeye's 1-2 diving combination of All-Americans Mark Bradshaw and DougShaffer should put Kimball to the test. Facing an Ohio State team with several All-American swimmers will give the Wolverines an idea of what they will be up against in the Big Ten and Natinal Collegiate Athletic Association championships later in the season. "Ohio State has an outstanding dual meet team," remarked Urbanchek, "but we should be able to win it."' The meet will begin at 3:00 this after- noon in the Matt Mann Pool. Wearer joins Panthers DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Former Detroit Lions punter Herman Weaver has joined the training camp of the United States Football League Michigan Panthers as a free agent, the club said yesterday. Weaver, an 11-year veteran of the National Football League with the Lions and later the Seattle Seahawks is vying for the punting job with Scott Essery of'the University of Windsor, Panther spokesman Jerry Kissell said. WEAVER PLAYED seven years for the Lions, who took him in the ninth round of the 1970 draft. The University of Tennessee graduate compiled a career punting average of 40.3 yards. Weaver's best year was in 1973, when he averaged 43.2 yards a punt. Weaver has been out of football since 1981, Kissell said. Lopez loses battle DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Tigers won their arbitration battle with relief pitcher Aurelio Lopez, the baseball club said yesterday. An arbitrator in Chicago ruled that Lopez should be paid $250,000 in 1983, which is what the Tigers offered the right-hander. It is $30,000 less than Lopez made last year. Lopez had asked for $315,000. UNDER MAJOR league rules, the arbitrator must award either the offer made by the team or the player's request, but cannot compromise. Lopez spent much of last year with the club's American Association farm team at Evansville, Ind. He quit the team with two weeks left in the season to return to his native Mexico, but rejoined the Tigers during the winter. The decision, confirmed by Tigers spokeswoman Audrey Zielinski, leaves the American League club with a 2-1 arbitration record this year. Pitcher Dan Petry won his case, for- cing the club to pay him $390,000 this year, $40,000 more than the Tigers of- fered and $215,000 more than he made last year. Outfielder Kirk Gibson, sidelined much of last year with in- juries, lost his case. He asked for $275,000, but will receive $220,000, a 10 percent pay increase over 1982. Hagler stops Sibson BLUE JINSJ110-38 4 Women tankers drown Eastern WORCESTER, Mass. (UPI) - Mar- velous Marvin Hagler knocked down Tony Sibson twice and ripped his face into a bloody mass, stopping the Englishman in the sixth round last night to retain the undisputed mid- dleweight championship of the world. The 28-year-old Hagler, operating with a surgeon's precision, just had too many weapons for the game challenger. Sibson hung tough right to the end. IN THE SIXTH round, following a toe-to-toe exchange, Sibson went down from a left-right, left-right high to the head. The 24-year-old challenger got up immediately and took the mandatory eight count from referee Carlos Padilla. Sibson then tried to fight back and the two went at it toe-to-toe before Sibson dropped to his knees from two rights to the head. Blood streamed down Sib- son's face from the cut opened in the fif- th round. Sibson struggled up again and took out his mouthpiece. Padilla took one look at the challenger and stopped the fight. BEFORE THE fight, Hagler said, "I know he's a very strong fighter, very gutsy. But sometimes guts can get you into trouble." And Sibson was in more trouble than he could handle in the sixth round when the end finally came at 2:40. Many boxing. observers had con- sidered Sibson to be the toughest challenger to Hagler since the Brockton, Mass., native won the title by stopping Englishman Allen Minter Sept. 27, 1980. Sibson had held the European middleweight championship until he relinquished it recently and he was ranked the No. 1 contender by the WBC. HAGLER WAS not impressed by Sib- son's credentials. "All they are doing is sending this kid to a moment of destruction," said Hagler. Hagler made the first two rounds close and had the best of the third. In that round, Sibson, who weighed the class limit of 160, landed a hard right as Hagler backed away and followed with two good left hooks. He also had the best of a toe-to-toe exchange. Then in the fifth round, Hagler, 158%, shook Sibson with a hard left to the face. The champion, switching quickly from a left-handed stance in which he jabbed with his right hand, to a right- handed stance, next crashed a right to the face that brought blood cascading. from Sibson's nose. In the fifth round, Sibson's left eye' began to close. With Hagler scoring with punishing right jabs, a cut opened above and to the left of the eye and blood streamed down Sibson's face. At the end of the round, a ringside physician examined the eye and let the fight continue. Villanora 78, Pitt 65 VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) - Senior center John Pinone, recovering from a week-long bout with the flu, scored 25 points to lead 12th ranked Villanova to a 78-65 victory over Pitt in Big East college basketball last night. About 3,000 fans packed the stands at the Villanova field house, despite a bliz- zard that had dropped 20 inches of snow in nearby Philadelphia. The Panthers had arrived in town Thursday night. THE VICTORY gave Villanova a 9-2 record in the Big East and a first-place tie with idle St. John's. The Wildcats are 16-4 overall. Junior forward Clyde Vaughan's 22 points topped Pitt, now 5-6 in the con- ference and 12-9 overall. Subscribe to Phone 764-0558 By ADAM SCHWARTZ "This meet is a tune up for the Big Ten championship," said Michigan women's swim team coach Stu Isaac before last nights meet against Eastern Michigan. And it turned out to be exactly that, as the Wolverines destroyed the Hurons 110-38 last night at Matt Mann pool. "We really concentrated on tuning up our strokes for the Big Tens," said Isaac. "It really worked. There were more seasonal bests at this meet than against Ohio State and Indiana. This meet was not like swimming against Indiana or Ohio State, and to have this kind of performance without that incentive is fabulous." Isaac cited many women as having had outstanding performances. However, he said that Leslie Beckstein had, "the best overall performance of anyone in the meet.'' Beckstein won the 200-yard freestyle and the 50-yard Butterfly with times of 1:56.40 and :27.17 respectively. ISAAC ALSO singled out a group of girls in particular as being impressive, the divers. "The diving is really important" sa' Isaac. "They dove championship styl diving 11 times in both the three-meter and the one-meter dive. Martha (Dresbach) and Angie (Porreta) were really good." Once the meet was no longer in question, the Wolverines went to people who had not seen much action during the year. One of these people was Vicki Kimball, who usually dives. ONE OF THE major factors in is using these other people was Isaac' desire to build the confidence of thi team as a whole. "From here on in we are building on confidence and working on the little things," said Isaac. "the hard work is done. "Confidence on a close team like ours can be contagious. The people who have done it before, the team leaders their confidence has to be contagious." The next step for the Wolverines are the Big Ten Championships-to be hell February 24-26 in Madison, Wisconsin.
