Nearly a dozen calls to his home in Benton Harbor got pretty much the same response from Turner's parents: "No, Quincy isn't home now. No, he hasn't made a decision. Why don't you try later." All the while Turner was going to class at his new school. Boy they sure fooled me. I guess I shouldn't feel bad, though. Even Turner's ex-roommate at West Quad didn't have a clue to his whereabouts. Turner's clandestine departure was appropriate, though. Even when he was here you never noticed. I remember watching practice one day nefore the season began when coach Bill Frieder matched up all the guards for a one-on-one drill. "Who am I missing?" he shouted. "Quincy" someone replied. I made a mental note. Quincy --The forgotten man. So its off to El Paso and the 10th-ranked team in the natio for the forgot- ten Wolverine. I'm sure it's the right move for him but somehow I don't think he will play much there, either. He is going to sit out a year and a half. The current starters will be gone by then, true, but new recruits will take their place. That's what happened to Quincy at Michigan, if you will recall. Turner was the first recruit to sign last year. A couple of backcourters by the names of Antoine Joubert and Garde Thompson followed the lefthander to the Maize and Blue. Q.T. soon found himself the sixth guard with little hope of moving into the top three until his junior year. For a player who averaged 25.2 points and made every all-state squad his senior year in high school, that wasn't fast enough. Less than a month after the start of the season, the "other" Turner was gone. He quickly became a distant memory, not even to be found in the weekly basketball statistics released by the Michigan sports information department. In a discrete maneuver that would make George Orwell proud, the "other" Turner disappeared, becoming just plain "other" in the stat sheet. Good old "other" has been a model of consistency ever since - five games played, 2-6 from the field, -8 from the line, two assists, 19 minutes played and a down- to-earth 2.2 scoring average. It's like Turner never played here. Ain't it great to be living in 1984? Well anyway, Turner sounds happy with his decision and that is the most important thing. From what I've been told he didn't get along with any of his Michigan teammates very well. That compounded his misery, I'm sure. I know it sounds callous, but I'm glad he is gone because I hated having to put "E. Turner" and "Q. Turner" in the boxscore. We forgot one night and would have again, no doubt. Best quote about Quincy's quitting: "I wonder if the Quincy player diary (see Tipoff '83-84) will become a collector's item?" The Rock becomes the Pebble Now that Quincy has found a home, I wonder if he would help Leslie Rockymore find his shooting touch. Since Turner left the team Rockymore has hit on a measly 33 percent of his rocks and no more. He was as solid as Gilbralter whenQuincy was around, knocking down 53 percent. The Detroit ,prep star's superslump has left both Rockymore and Frieder shrugging their shoulders in frustration. "I don't know what it is," Frieder said in response to what is becoming a familiar question. "I'm concerned about Rockymore. We just can't afford to ,miss that many shots. You know, he's shot 15 percent in the last three games. But what am I supposed to do? I try him off the bench against Ohio State and he shoots 6-10 and the press rips me for not starting him." It has been suggested that a mysterious pain in Rockymore's shooting hand is the cause of his misery. It sounds plausible. Rockymore has had "something loose" in the hand since the Rutgers game (Dec. 21). Doctors are supposed to take a closer look after the season. But Frieder rejected the Inotion that the hand is the cause of the Rock's shooting impotence. Whatever is wrong better correct itself soon or the Wolverines will find themselves one ex- perienced guard short in the important stretch run of the Big Ten race. For Rockymore, though, it is the slump - not the hand - that is painful. So pain- ful, in fact, the already reticent junior Rockyinore would rather not think about it. "Do we have to talk about it now?" he asked the inquiring reporter. No, Rock. That's okay. We'll talk about it later. Maybe if we wait we can talk about how you regained your touch in time to help your team to the NCAA tournament. That's a better story, anyway. (Continued from Page 1) game. "I thought f0elekoudas played well, for you guys that don't like him," he said. "I thought he did a hell of a job. He took a charge at a crucial time, he made a free throw or two there. We needed defense when we put him in there and he did a great job." Off the inbounds pass after the free throws, Batch Wade fouled Mon- tgomery, the Illini's only poor foul shooter, who missed the front end of a one-and-one. Illinois' Bruce Douglas got the rebound but was rejected by Roy Tarpley (13 points, five blocks, seven boards). Tarpley was fouled, hit two from the line and the game was all even. ILLINOIS then held the ball for over a minute but at the 1:41 mark Efrem Winters drove to the goal and was fouled by Wade. The sophomore, who finished with 16 points to lead Illinois, completed the one-and-one despite screams from the normally placid Crisler crowd, perhaps stirred by a sign which said "Please Make Noise." Twenty-one seconds later, it was; again even on a Turner jumper from Pelekoudas. The Illini gained possession with 1:20 remaining and, while trying to set up one last shot, turned it over on a five-second call at the 46-second mark. Frieder called time out to set up Michigan's last effort. Turner came through once again. "I wanted to be the one to shoot it if it came down to that," said Turner, who is starting to live up to his acclaim. "I didn't really know (it was going in) when it left. I didn't know until it went in." ILLINOIS had time for a last ditch ef- fort, but a heave from midcourt by freshman Tony Wysinger bounced off the front rim and Michigan had its first come-from-behind win of the season. "I thought that damn little kid's shot was going in at the end," said a relieved Frieder. "Didn't you?" Illini coach Lou Henson, whose team had its eight-game winning streak snapped, was not unhappy with Illini's effort. "We felt that we played a pretty good game," said the Oklahoma native. "But we don't have much depth. Down the stretch, when we needed the five that we usually play with, two (Montgomery and Quinn Richardson) were on the bench." Antoine Joubert had his strongest game in some time scoring 11 on five of nine from the floor. Leslie Rockymore did not play for the first time this year. "I just started Joubert," explained Frieder. "You have to do whatever tie game dictates. Rockymore has got ;to battle back.' Michigan didn't need Rockymore last night. E.T. was a one-man show.

Hamifton, Johnson win Olrnympicgold SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia (UPI) - Scott Hamilton and Bill Johnson gave the United States two gold medals at the Winter Olympics yesterday,' one doing what everyone said he would, and the other achieving what he alone thought he could.I Hamilton, a three-time world cham- pion who is unbeaten since 1980, was a picture of precision last night when he swept his way to the figure skating championship before a cheering, cap- tivated crowd at the Zetra Arena. AVter receiving his medal, he earned another ovation by skating around the rink waving an American flag. The big story of'the day, and of the Olympics themselves, came hours earlier when Johnson, speedi g down the mountainside just as quick as his mouth would carry him, skied himself into history and created an honest to goodness legend. The bold, brash American first befuddled conservative Europeans with his loud-mouth pronouncements of coming glory, and then he confounded the experts by his deeds of daring. 1 2 29 :31 29 31 T 61 62 university cellar Liberty at Division. 769-7940 Daily Classifieds Bring Results--Phone 764-0557 r I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I Print or Type legibly in UMME3UBLEE Z e space provided, the copy as you woud UPPLEMEN like it to appear.
