But the Wolverines are equally cherished out in the places where I-94 doesn't go straight through town. When Michigan scrimmaged at Adrian High School last night, the Maize and Blue shone as brightly as in Crisler Arena. "You think of it as your home team, like they were from your own home town," said an Adrian high school sophomore who is a veteran of exactly one game in Crisler Arena. "They (fans) see them playing here and then they start going to the games (in Crisler Arena)" However, Crisler doesn't begin to give fans the distinctively high- schoolish and personal; view that a small gym does. "It's nice because you get that closer contact," one Blissfield man said. "You can hear the coach's and the players' comments." Actually, closeness doesn't really describe the atmosphere. It's not ev- aery day fans can sit below coach Steve Fisher, who perched on the last row of the bleacher with a bag of popcorn, and with their knees pushing up against players' backs on the bleacher in front of them. And there are probably more NBA players' autographs in Adrian - Michigan also played in the Maples' gym last year - than in all of Ann 'Arbor. When was the last time the Wolverine players remained on the floor at Crisler, signing autographs for a seemingly endless line of gram- mar schoolers? The Wolverines' trips to Hoosiers-like high school gyms around the state definitely works as a way of involving Michigan fans who have never been to Ann Arbor. As the final buzzer sounded - the typical deafening horn indigenous only to high school gyms - one sixth-grader from Adrian took a second, before racing out for autographs, to speak for all those who think of the Wolverines as U-M students do. When asked whether he rooted for Michi- gan or Michigan State, the boy took on a serious glare and said, "Oh, Oh, buddy, Michigan all the way. C'mon, you know that." I do now. by Theodore Cox Daily Basketball Writer ADRIAN,.Mich. - It was no mystery that last night's Blue-White intrasquad game was the first action Michigan had seen. Mistakes and er- rors were made before the small crowd at Adrian High School throughout the evening. However, there certainly wasn't a lack of effort. Players went all out trying to impress the coaching staff, as every player has a shot at break- ing into the starting lineup. Wolver- ine coach Steve Fisher still claims three starting positions are open. The two definite starters, guard Demetrius Calip and center Eric Ri- ley, showed why they're the leaders. Calip led all scorers with 28 points, and Riley added 24. More importantly, Riley stayed out of foul trouble and at the same time, went to the charity stripe thir- teen times, sinking ten. Another player who put up some offensive numbers was Kirk Taylor. He scored 23 in his first action in 21 months. But Fisher wasn't im- pressed with his team's 166 points at all. "I was disappointed that our de- fense was as bad as it was," Fisher said. "I knew it wasn't going to be good, but that has been a point of emphasis. Consequently, too many points were scored." Part of the reason can be at- tributed to confusion during substi- tutions. Often times, players were left wideopen after a timeout be- cause they were unguarded. "Heck, I could have shot those if no one was guarding me," Fisher said. One person who did stand out de- fensively was walk-on Freddie Hunter. The 6-foot-5 junior has quick feet and rarely makes mental errors. First-year student Sam Mitchell also had a few shining moments de- fensively. He notched several blocks, but seemed to tire near the end of the scrimmage. Another first-year student who played well was Jason Bossard. The Charlotte native scored 13 points, hitting three three-point shots. Other scorers in double figures included Tony Tolbert with 24, Chip Armer with 12, Rob Pelinka with 12, and Michael Talley with 11. "I have to be honest with you, no one stood out in my mind," Fisher said. "I could name some guys that stood out the other way." Redshirt sophomore Eric Riley has a grasp on the starting center position for the Wolverines this season. Seter steps out of anonymity, into by Phil Green Daily Basketball Writer How many people remember Chris Seter? Don't be embarrassed if ,you don't; you are not alone. The 6-foot-9 forward did not see any action during his first two sea- sons in Ann Arbor and only played in 17 games last year. He averaged f. 1 points per game, and tallied ca- rber highs of five points at Wiscon- sin and six rebounds against Central Michigan. With most of Michigan's pro- duction from last season in the NBA now, Seter should see considerably rmore playing time. "If we played a game today, he would start," coach Steve Fisher said. "And he hasn't played 20 min- utes in his career if you totalled all his minutes together." Injuries have kept Seter out of the lineup in the past, but his toughness during practice thus far has impressed Fisher. Seter severely dislocated his finger and did not miss a day of practice. "He smells playing time. I can't believe he didn't miss a practice," Fisher said. "Maybe mentally he's a little hungrier, a little tougher." Seter won't be expected to put up explosive numbers this year. In fact, Fisher doesn't even expect him to, average 10 points per game. He will be expected to contribute under the boards, and with solid defense. He might even spend time covering the other teams' top big man to help keep the Wolverines' Eric Riley out of foul trouble. Riley saw action off the bench last year. But the 6-foot-11 center frequently sat next to Fisher after picking up quick fouls. Last season, Michigan could afford to have Riley on the bench. However, this year the Wolverines do not have that luxury. "We have to have Riley in the lineup," Fisher said. "We need Eric on the floor for 30 odd minutes a game." If Riley ends up on the bench, the Wolverines, who expect to em- ploy an up-tempo style this year, will probably slow things down while he rests. Fisher has a better idea of who else might start alongside Riley and captain Demetrius Calip. He would like to have a list of his top five or six players, and right now sopho- mores Michael Ta Tolbert join the Ri Seter on his list.
