4 Tryouts for men's tennis team Report to varsity courts at Ferry Field 2-4:30 p.m., Wednesday through Friday SPORTS The Michigan Daily Wednesday, October 5, 1983 Boren out for season; Johnsons suspended Signups for IM football Today through Friday IM building Page 8 'M'feels hype o MSU rivalry Boren ... out for season By RON POLLACK Inside linebacker Mike Boren's season is over, according to the Michigan Athletic Department. Ap- parently the same holds true for his college career. Boren suffered a partial tear in his left knee last Saturday against Indiana and had surgery Monday. THE TIMING for the senior's injury could not have been worse. The National Collegiate Athletic Association rule on red-shirting states that if a player plays in more than three games, he cannot regain a year of eligibility even if an injury keeps him out of play the rest of the season, accor- ding to NCAA spokesperson Janice Bump. The Indiana game was the four- th of the year for both Boren and the Wolverines. "I talked to (assistant) coach (Gary) Moeller," Boren said. "I think I just missed the deadline. They're looking into it. Maybe I could protest." That is unlikely to be successful, though, since Bump said "there are no exceptions" to the red-shirt rules. THE INJURY, Boren said, might be related to earlier knee problems. "I've been banged up all year," Boren said. "I haven't been 100 percent all year. It's been one knee after another. It could be related. I did something to my left knee during two-a- days. I hyperextended it. I didn't think it was that bad." The manner in which Boren sustained the injury certainly qualifies as out of the ordinary since no contact was in- volved. "It was nothing," Boren said. "I went back for a pass drop, I tried turning and I just fell." Sophomore flankers Gilvanni John- son and Steve Johnson have been suspended indefinitely by Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler for violation of the team's curfew regulations. Neither will play in Saturday's game at Michigan State. SCHEMBECHLER has a policy of not commenting on rule violations by his players, but Michigan Sports Infor- mation Director Bruce Madej confir- med yesterday that the coach had suspended the two players. Gilvanni Johnson started all four Michigan games this season, catching one pass for 12 yards. Steve Johnson played in all the Wolverine games and did not catch a pass but did gain nine yards rushing on one carry. Triando Markray, a 6-2, 185 pound sophomore from Detroit, will start in place of Gilvanni Johnson on Saturday. That will be Markray's first appearan- ce as a Wolverine. -JOHN KERR Gilvanni and Steue Johnson ... suspended indefinately By RON POLLACK Make no mistake about it, the Michigan football team is already get- ting psyched up for Saturday's game against rival Michigan State. In fact, there seems to be a bit more excitement for this year's Michigan - Michigan State game than normal. The Spartans surprising 2-1-1 start, in- cluding an upset win over Notre Dame, is responsible for that. "I THINK there's a little more ex- citement in our camp for this game," Michigan head coach Bo Schembechler said. "The fact that they've generated some enthusiasm, and have won some games adds to the game." IF MICHIGAN State wanted to send this excitement wildly out of control, all they had to do was win their first four games. At least that's what a number of Michigan players were thinking when the Spartans jumped out to a 2-0 record. "We were all hoping they'd be undefeated because we wanted to build this game up as big as possible," said tailback Rick Rogers. And of course, there are the usual bragging rights to consider. "IT'S EMOTIONAL," said quarter- back Steve Smith, a native of Grand Blanc. "I'm just under an hour away from both. I know people who go there." Said defensive back Evan Cooper, "To me it's going to determine who has the best football team in the state of Michigan." For some Wolverine players, the Michigan State game presents an op- portunity to silence some nasty words about the Wolverines. "I'm from the state myself," said defensive tackle Vince DeFelice. "They recuited me and a lot of their recruitment toward me was putting Michigan down. I'm really excited about playing them." If Michigan is to beat Michigan State, its coaching staff and players believe that they must put-forth nothing short of their best effort. "IT'LL BE a though game," Smith said. "If we don't play tough we won't beat them. It's definitely a big one." Said Schembechler, "We always seem to get Michigan State's best ef- fort. Regardless of record, they always play well against us." M'SOPHOMORE E YES OL YMPIC BID: Larkin: Sho By JON GERSTEL Barry Larkin, like every other amateur athlete, has a dream of one day playing in the Olympics but as time goes on his dream is looking more and more like a reality. Two weeks ago, Ray Fisher Stadium in Ann Arbor was one of the 65 regional sites throughout the country holding the Olympic baseball tryouts. Each coach at these tryouts was to recommend one or two players to proceed to Louisville on October 21 for the nationals. MICHIGAN baseball coach Bud Mid- daugh ran the tryouts and recommen- ded two sophomores, pitcher Scott Kamieniecki and shortstop Barry Larkin, to advance on to the Blue Grass state. From among the invitees to Louisville, Southern California baseball coach Ron Dato is to pick 20 for his Olympic team. Despite the odds, Larkin still feels confident in his making the team. "I think about making the team a lot, it, would be a dream come true to. represent our coqntry and proving we! are the best." The fact baseball is being played only as an exhibition in next summer's Olympics doesn't seem to phase the sophomore. With a wide grin, Larkin answered, "Hey it's the Olympics and that says enough in itself. It is a big sporting event where the greatesti athletes in the world get together." ACCOMPANYING the glory of the Olympics is the added pressure. "I would definitely feel more pressure playing in the Olympics than I have ever felt in my life," he said. "To me crowds get really scary. At last year's College World Series I could not stop shaking, it was awful." The New York Times bOPDWPY DELI I Larkin, however, had gotten used to the pressure of making major decisions. The 5-11 sophomore hails from Cincinnati where he not only starred in baseball but where he also earned All-State honors playing football for perennial high school football powerhouse Cincinnati Moeller. As a result of his outstanding abilities in both football and baseball, he received scholarship offers from Notre Dame, USC, Arizona St., Miami Fla., Texas and Michigan to play either sport. AT THIS time in his life he was faced with many difficult decisions. He first had to decide between baseball and football, and then where to play. Choosing between USC, Notre Dame rt stop and Michigan for football and between Texas, Miami Fla., and Arizona St. for baseball is like choosing between Miss June and Miss July. On top of that, the Cincinnati Reds drafted him in the second round of the 1982 amateur draft and offered him a reported $100,000 to sign with them out of high school. So before deciding to at- tend Michigan, he had to decide what sport to play, then to play either college or professional baseball and then finally which school to play for. For a senior in high school it was a heavy burden to carry. Larkin emphasized the fact it was tough to turn down the Reds' offer, but academics was more important to him to LA and his-family. "I wanted to come to school to get something under my belt. I hope to be drafted again after my junior year. If I could sign then, I would have gone through schooling and could either choose to play pro ball or go to graduate school." FOR NOW, though, Larkin faces the difficult challenge of making the Olym- pic team. He carries impressive freshman credentials with him: a .352 average, named the third team All-Big Ten shortstop, and the most valuable player in the Big Ten playoffs. Middaugh feels both Larkin and Scott Kamieniecki have good chances to make the team. After sending both Wolverines' names as recommen- dations for Louisville, Middaugh has no more influence in the tryouts but feels the coaches will be impressed with both players. Larkin feels Kamieniecki has an ex- cellent shot to make it to Los Angeles for the Games. "There aren't many pitchers around with more ability than Scott, only more experience." Coach Middaugh obviously agrees with Larkin as he pitched Kamieniecki in Michigan's semi-final game against eventual national champion Texas last year. LARKIN FEELS that even if he doesn't make the team he has a lot to gain from the tryouts. "At last year's World Series, I saw some guys that were unbelievable and just playing with them in the tryouts would help me out a lot. Within Barry Larkin lies one of Michigan's greatest hopes for an Olympic athlete and if successful in his trek to Los Angeles, both Larkin and the Olympic team will benefit greatly. SPORTS OF THE DAILY: Sparky inkcs new pact DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Tigers have rewarded Manager Sparky An- derson for the club's best finish in 15 years by extending his contract for two years. Anderson replaced Les Moss in Detroit in June 1979 after spending the first nine years of his major league managerial career at Cincinnati. The extension runs through the end of the 1986 season. "THIS WILL have a stabilizing effect on a club that should contend for the pennant for the next several years," Tigers' General Manager Bill Lajoie said yesterday. Anderson helped mold the Tigers into a championship caliber team with the development of such players as Alan Trammell., Lou Whitaker, Jack Morris, Lance Parrish and Dan Petry. The 1983 Tigers had the third best record in the majors at 92-70. Anderson's overall record with the Reds and Tigers is 1,238 victories and 912 defeats. His .576 winning percentage is the highest among current major league managers. Anderson ... receives extension Crew seeks funds Row, row, row your boat gently down the ... diag? Yes, the diag. The Michigan Crew Team is holding its fourth annual Row-a-thon on the diag. In a makeshift boat astride a large tank of water, over 100 crew members will be rowing continuously from Wednesday until Friday. The Crew Team hopes to earn bet- ween $10,000 and $15,000. The money will be put toward travel expenses for out of town meets. The largest amount of the money, though, will be allotted to the Michigan Rowing Association. The - Association will begin building a com- munity boat house where the Crew Team will store their boats and equip- ment. ''There is still time to pledge money," said Lisa Philipsborn, a third year var- sity coxwain, "We need support, en- couragement, and donations! 4 Piston guards clash The rivalry for the Pistons' shooting guard 'position apparently isn't as friendly as reported. John Long and Vinnie Johnson scuf- fled during the team's Monday evening practice, exchanging shoves and a few punches before teammates separated them. JOHNSON WANTED to pursue Long after the fight but was restrained by rookie Ken Austin. The incident began when the two collided while engaged in a full-court scrimmage. Piston coach Chuck Daly said nothing to either player in front of the crowd of about 50 that witnessed the scuffle. JOHNSON, A fifth-year pro from Baylor, claimed the starting guard position last year when Long pulled a groin muscle and was ineffective upon his return. Long is a sixth-year pro and the all- time scoring leader at the University of Detroit. -JIM DWORMAN Shortstop Barry Larkin tags an opponent in one of last season's contests. The sophomore, after appearing in the College World Series last June, is trying to make the 1984 Olympic squad. Excitement spread across row 63 as the blue-uniformed players formed in front of them. The group leaped onto. their seats and screamed at the assem- blage below. "Bullwinkle, Bullwinkle! " screamed Skip. "Pleeeeese, you have to play it," pleaded Booly. "Bullwinkle!" demanded T.C. who placed his hands on either side of his head as added encouragement. Then there was silence as instruments met mouths, but the sounds heard were those of "The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Theme Song." Ciffy, Bulldog, and Kig Jam hissed as loud as they could. "I don't know why they don't play it!" wailed Winky, tears -welling in her eyes. But the sounds that followed sent the row into a jubilant ecstacy as they listened to, no "Bullwinkle," but the "Griddes Fight Song."
