"I've decided to go to U-M. I think they have the program best suited for my style of play," said Talley who plays for Detroit's Cooley High School. "Michigan is a great group of winners, and I like to win." "Any time you get a commitment, you're happy," Frieder said. Frieder declined to comment about Talley and how he fits into the Michigan program, as National Collegiate Athletic Association rules pro- hibit coaches from talking about individual recruits. Talley chose Michigan over intra-state rival Michigan State and DePaul after watching the Spartans practice yesterday. The Wolverine coaching staff played a major role in Talley's decision. "I really respect the guys and the coaches a lot. Bill Frieder is a very good coach on and off the court," Talley said. Talley has led Cooley to two consecutive Class A basketball titles, averaging almost 19 points and 6 assists per game as a junior last year. r Talley will be joined by shooting guard Tony Tolbert, who committed to Michigan earlier this week. Both will sign letters of intent during the early signing period of Nov. 9-16. Thursday, October 20, 1988 Page 9 Michigan boys back in town Row, row, row your boat gently down the Charles w BY DEBBIE HERZ "READY, ALL ROW!" The University of Michigan Rowing Club, in the most important regatta of the fall season, will race against national competitionsat the Head of the Charles in Boston Sunday. Hundreds of thousands of spectators will gatheron the river banks to watch more than 250 crews compete in the 3.1 mile event. Michigan will enter the women's open eight competition and a men's lightweight eight. Head coach Tom Welch fully expects the women's team to place among the top five. "They are that good," Welch said. " if everything goes well, including not getting caught behindslower boats, the top five is not an unrealistic expectation." Last year the women's team placed 22nd in the championship eight, which is a more difficult division. Anne Carroll, team secretary, thinks that this year's boat is stronger than last year's because many of the members are rowing together for the second year. This is important since crew is such a team- oriented sport. "An individual can be great but ALL-CAMPUS NON-ALCOHOLIC HAPPY HOUR! Friday, October 21, 4:00-6:30 pm Sigma Chi Fraternity 548 S.

BY MICHAEL SALINSKY When Indiana outside linebacker. coach, Andy Kincannon, is seen in the state of Michigan, Wolverine fans should be wary. Kincannon, in addition to his coaching duties, is in charge of recruiting for most of Michigan. If seen in the state, he's probably trying to lure the state's best football prospects south of the border, away from Michigan schools. When the Indiana defense takes the field for the first time Saturday, four of Kincannon's recruits will be doing their darndest to help defeat their own state university. TERRY SAUNDERS is a six-foot-five senior from Mount Clemens, who has switched this year from tight end to starting outside linebacker. Senior defensive tackle, Walt Harris, who played for Redford High in Detroit, was not heavily recruited by Michigan out of high school. "I'll get on his ear on that during practice this week," said defensive line coach, Jim Muehling. Mike Dumas and Brad Money, on the other hand, were both offered scholarships by Michigan, but chose Indiana. D U M A S, a sophomore defensive back out of Alto, was named the Western Michigan player of the year in 1986 and was recruited by Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, and the Naval Academy Dumas' visit to Indiana was not a pleasant one. His bags were lost in transit leaving him with no change of clothes. "It was a rough weekend," Dumas recalls. Two weeks later, he called to say he was committing. Senior linebacker Brad Money, a Midland native, was recruited heavily by MAC schools like Central Michigan, in addition to Michigan. Money was recruited by Indiana during their 0-11 season, but came anyway. "I wanted to be a part of the rebuilding," Money remembers. And rebuild they did. Today, Money is a senior on an undefeated Hoosier team looking to defeat Michigan for the second straight year. A win would give Indiana the inside track for a Rose Bowl berth. If the Hoosiers do knock off Michigan, the native sons will probably play a major role. SAUNDERS combines size and speed at his linebacker spot which could pose a problem for a Michigan line that had trouble protecting quarterback Michael Taylor last week. Harris didn't play at all his first two years because of injuries but is now a third-year starter. "Walter's extremely strong," Muehling said. Harris is one of the charter members of the Buff Club, a group of Hoosiers who start lifting at 6:00 AM, three days a week, for an extra long workout. Behind Harris is Money, who according to Kincannon is, "by far, having his best year now." . MONEY acknowledges his play has improved: "I feel a lot more confident. Things are fitting in better together on defense." The two time Academic All-Big Ten is third in the conference in interceptions with three, and is third on the team in tackles. "He's a very intelligent fellow," Kincannon said. "He played as a freshman at linebacker, which is a really hard position to do that at." The last line of defense is the secondary, and Dumas as a sophomore, is a key part of that unit. "He's the most gifted of the kids in the secondary, in terms of speed and instincts," Muehling said. DUMAS has shown his speed especially on special teams, where he has two blocked punts. While the players will be in the spotlight Saturday at Michigan Stadium, it is Kincannon who got them to Indiana in the first place. "Our success in Michigan is due solely to Andy," said Muehling, the recruiting coordinator. Kincannon, a Detroit native, covers all of Michigan except for the, southernmost strip from Benton Harbor to Dearborn. Kincannon stresses that the institution and the program have made his job easier. "They're always very impressed," Kincannon said. "If they choose Michigan or MSU, it's because they wanted to play there all their lives." Kincannon relishes the challenge: "It's tough to compete against the other schools, but it's gratifying to pull one (prospect) away." For the ones who were pulled away, this game is a special one. "I always view going home differently," Dumas said. "I want to be able to prove that Indiana was the right choice." "I've always dreamed of playing in the 'big house,' " Money said. Is this the biggest game of his college career, Money was asked? "To this date, yeah, by far," he answered. "Especially with what we're playing for."
