WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAlY PAGE SEVEN I from the Sidelines Cagers Rarin' To '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!

TOWER HOTEL ... 2-4531 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. Read and Use Daily Classifieds DOUG LAWRENCE . . . leads varsity 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.
