Page 14-Tuesday, July 27, 1982-The Michigan Daily SPORTS OF THE DAILY: Festival tests new hoop talent 4 INDIANAPOLIS (AP)- The men's coaches say they will keep it a simple, game when the basketball round-robin tournament opens today in the National Sports Festival. In this competition, a training ground for America's future international talent, the East will face the North in men's and women's play Tuesday af- ternoon with the South squads tangling with the West teams tonight. THE FIRST two rounds will be played on Indiana Central University's floor before the gold and bronze medal games Saturday will be switched to 17,000-seat Market Square Arena, home of the Indiana Pacers. Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, coaching the East men, said he doesn't even plan on scouting his opposition in these American Olympics. "It's too hard to prepare for three" games in a row," said Boeheim. "We'll just run up and down the floor. If we lose, we want it to be 120-118." HIS 12-MAN squad includes 6-foot-9 Villanova star Ed Pinckney, 6-5 Sugar Ray Hall from Canisius, 6-5 Lester Rowe of West Virginia and 6-9 Andrew Williams of Pittsburgh. Norm Stewart of Missouri, guiding the North, can call on such names as 7-1 Greg Dreiling, 'transferring from Wichita to Kansas; 6-3 Sam Vincent of Michigan State and 6-4 Eric Turner of Michigan. "We spent some time on defense in practice," Stewart said. "But, from an offensive standpoint, they're going to get their shots. We didn't try to do what it took us 14 years to do at Missouri." THE WEST will build its team around 7-foot UCLA sophomore Stuart Gray, the Most Valuable Player in the 1981 Festival with averages of 18 points and 9 rebounds. Jerry Pimm of Utah, the West's coach, said, "We're keeping it simple. I don't think in all-star competition you can get too complicated." Besides Gray, Pimm will rely on 6-9 John Rogers of Stanford, 6-9 Ken John- son of Southern California and 6-5 Gary Davis of Cal-Fullerton. Tulsa's Nolan Richardson, leading the South, has such weapons as 6-2 Joe Dumars of LSU, 6-10 Bobby Hurt of Alabama and 6-9 Waymen Tisdale, Converse's National Prep Player of the. Year from Tulsa. "We're trying to give our players a lot of freedom," Richardson said. "I believe in letting them read each other, learn each other's moves. We're going to do some pressing, especially in the fourth quarter."

INS District Director David Ilchert, who will be making the decision about whether to grant Hu's asylum, said one of his officers interviewed the tennis star yesterday about "why she thinks she's eligible for asylum status.
