'Go
Perigo' Monday
By Dick Sewell
* * *
.i
I GO PERIGO, and I'm willing to bet that by Monday night you'll
all go Perigo.
Who's Perigo? He's ti man responsible for the new look cur-
rently being sported by Michigan's revitalized basketball squad. His
first name is Bill and he's the coach. More than that he's one of the
finest teachers of the hardwood sport in Michigan athletic history.
Monday night the Wolverines square off against Marquette in
the 1952-53 curtain raiser, and you fans will get your first look see
at Prof. Perigo's hard-running hoopsters.
It's entirely possible that you may not recognize the Maize
and Blue standard-bearers. Many of the old faces are back, but
motions are different. Gone are the days of the McCoy slow
break, possession basketball at its worst. Perigo and his assistants
Matt Patanelli and Dave Strack have introduced the hell-bent-
for-leather style used so successfully in the past by Rhode Island,
CCNY, Illinois and other perennial cage powerhouses.
Coach Perigo admits that the changeover takes time and that
you can't expect miracles overnight, but Yost Fieldhouse hangers-on
point to the steady day-by-day improvement of the rejuvenated Wol-
verines as an indication of success.
As one observer noted, "Perigo is getting more mileage out of
the same guys." One of the young mentor's first moves after taking
over the reins at Michigan was to .start his charges running. Like
Michigan State coach Pete Newell, Perigo ran the lanky cagers until
they were ready to drop, taught them to shoot and pass quickly and
accurately on the dead run, and to think before they did either.
Improvement Evident.. ..
THE RESULTS become more evident every day. Although they still
make mistakes, they don't make as many, and they are seldom the
colossal variety so abundant last winter.
One thing is dead certain, the new Wolverines with their fire-
wagon, race-horse brand of ball will offer interesting, exciting, smart
basketball, win or lose.
Many factors point to better days to come. For what it's
worth, this writer is predicting at least a 50-50 Michigan record
this season, despite early season run-ins with Iowa, Indiana, and
Illinois.
The first reason for optimism is, of course, Perigo's impressive
coaching record. His Western Michigan fives earned him a 42-29
mark over a three year span, and last winter the Broncos walked off
wth the Mid-American Conference hoop crown. Unlike former coach
Ernie McCoy, who doubled as assistant athletic director, Perigo has
been able to give full attention to basketball, and his product shows it.
Team Spirit High... .
ANOTHER encouraging factor is the team spirit and cooperation
exhibited by this year's quintet. It is united in respect for the
new coach and in the will -to win. There isn't a man on the squad
who doesn't feel it will improve last year's ninth place Big Ten finish.
What's more, we can't help but believe that the locals will
prosper under the Perigo fast break. Many observers long felt
that fast driving players like Ray Pavichevich, Doug Lawrence,
and Don Eaddy were wasted in the deliberate pattern used in
the past.
A fourth element in the picture is student support, that old
school spirit you hear so much about and see so little of. All Mr.
Perigo's work and skill will go for naught unless you and your friends
turn out for the games. Like a Van Gogh painting, the basketball
team has to be seen to be appreciated.
Nothing will do more to encourage Perigo and his free-wheeling
courtsters than vocal support at all games. This is especially true
Monday. Win or lose, the Wolverines will give a good show-real
basketball-and it's your job to turn out and cheer them on.
Let's give the new coach a break let him know that we go Perigo!

New Mentor To Unveil Young Squad
Against Powerful Marquette Quintet
MSC Still Tops AP Poll;
Trojans Capture Second
By DICK LEWIS
Michigan inaugurates its 1952-
53 basketball campaign with a
new coach, a new lineup, and a
new outlook next Monday bight
when it encounters Marquette
University at Yost Field House.
The revamped Wolverines will
be shooting for their first opening-
game victory in three years. Game
time is 8 p.m.
WITH FORMER Western Mich-
igan mentor Bill Perigo at the
helm and a youthful starting line-
up composed of sophomores and
juniors, the Maize and Blue can
only go up following a disastrous
three years in the depths of the
Western Conference standings.
Last year, under embattled
Coach Ernie McCoy, Michigan
barely escaped the league cel-
lar for the second year in a row,
annexing four of 14 Big Ten
scraps and seven of 22 on the
season.
This equalled Michigan's futile
production of the year before
when the Maize and Blue hit rock-
bottom, culminating a steady de-
cline that began after a conference
championship in 1948.
BUT FRESH coaching blood
and new, eager and seasoned tal-
ent provide the basis for a local
hardwood renaissance.
Perigo, along with assistant
coaches Matt Patinelli and Dave
Strack, has molded a young out-
fit that should stay with the
best of them.
Eight men will see the bulk of
the action in the Marquette scrap
according to Perigo's current
plans.
* * *
SECOND-YEAR men Milt Mead
and John Codwell are the prob-
able starting forwards with soph-,
omore Ralph Kauffman on tap
for relief duty.
Alternating at the front-court
and pivot positions lastseason,
the 6-7 Mead registered 144
points in 14 contests, good
enough for a 14.6 average and
19th place finish among the con-
ference point-getters.
Codwell, a Houston, Texas prod-
uct who stands 6-4, is regarded as
one of the best rebound men on
the 16-man squad. Appearing
briefly in 14 contests, Codwell
notched 34 markers in 1951-52.
THE PERFORMANCE of Kauff-
man in pre-season scrimmage has
been particularly impressive.1
Kauffman has perfected the one-
handed shot which was put to
good use last season before he
was declared ineligible for the
hoop sport during the second se-
mester.
Sophomore PaulLGroffsky and
football fugitive Leo Schijlit,
both 6-5, will share the pivot
duties.
Groffsky is a slick passer who
started with last year's junior var-
sity before elevation to the var -
sity squad. He possesses a deft'
hook shot and an equally potent
jump shot.
S* *
SPELLING Groffsky is Schlicht,
a tower of strength off either
backboard.
Coach Perigo did a little
juggling to come up with his
backcourt alignment, but he has
conceived a trio that ranks
among the best in the Big Ten.
Hustling Ray Pavichevich has
made the switch from the front
line to become a steady scorer at
his guard position. He teams up
with erstwhile freshman sensa-
tion Don Eaddy, who gave up
football this past fall to devote
full time to basketball.
DIMINUITIVE captain Doug
Lawrence rotates with these two
to provide the necessary depth at
the guards.
Senior guard Carl Brunsting
and lofty forward Bruce Allen
are also expected to see plenty
of action against a Marquette
team that has a bevvy of talent
back from last season.
The Hilltoppers pinned a 64-57
defeat on the Wolverines in Feb-
ruary, and this year are labelled
as one of the top Mid-West inde-
pendents.

NEW YORK - ()- The Mich-
igan State Spartans, their foot-
ball schedule completed, remained
the country's No. 1 college football
team yesterday in the ninth and
next-to-last Associated Press poll
of 1952.
Now the big question is whether
the undefeated Spartans can
maintain their huge vote appeal
next week in the final poll that
spotlights the mythical national
champions.
NOTRE DAME, out of the top
10 teams for most of the fall, has
finally found itself No. 7. Further-
more, the spoilers from South
Bend are being picked by many ex-
perts to whomp Southern Cali-
fornia, Which gained a Rose Bowl
berth against Wisconsin by edg-
ing U.C.L.A. Saturday, 14-12.
Georgia Tech, which had been
voted the No. 2 team for the last
two polls, slipped to third this
week, just 21 points behind
Southern California in the bal-
loting of 149 of the nation's
sports writers and sportscasters.
Michigan State received 88 of
the first place votes, and a total
of 1,400 points on the usual basis
of 10 points for first, nine for sec-
ond and so on. Southern Califor-
nia got 24 first, 1,244 points;
Geogia Tech 20 first, and 1,223
points.
Georgia Tech picks on oft-
thumped Georgia Saturday, and
should ring up victory No. 11 as
it heads for a New Year's Day
Sugar Bowl date with Mississippi.
Varsity Edges
Frosh Cagers
Coach Bill Perigo staged a sneak
preview of the 1952-53 Michigan
basketball squad last night at
Yost Field House with the varsity
outlasting the freshmen in a high
scoring contest, 81-70.
The starting five for the varsi-
ty were: Ray Pavichevitch and
Don Eaddy at the guards, John
Codwell and Milt Mead at the
forwards and Paul Groffsky at
center.
The varsity showed a much fast-
er style of ball than the Maize and
Blue squad of last season. 'The
Wolverines will begin their sea-
son on Monday against Marquette
University.
