- --l The Michigan Daily - Friday, December 1, 1995 -1 Wrestling goes gambing 4 0% Y 4k4 . rn LaIs Vegas WUJ By Mark Snyder Daily Sports Writer Foryears, Las Vegas has robbednAmeri- cans who continue to gamble away their fortunes. The Michigan men's wrestling team is in Vegas this weekend, but gam- bling is hardly a priority. The bright lights and big city should not serve as a distraction to the team. The Wolverines' visit is a mission in experience, with a little bit of fun on the side. "A lot of our kids have not seen the bright lights and what Vegas is all about," coach Dale Bahr said. "(The visit) is a good experience." Despite the glitz and glamour, how- ever, the team is in Nevada to wrestle. The Las Vegas Open is a two-day affair in which 35 of the top teams in the West will be participating. "It is the biggest pre-Christmas tour- nament in the nation," Bahr said. The opportunity to see national powers such as No. 2 Nebraska and to wrestle against other top teams has Bahr excited. "To take road trips out there would take forever and here is a chance to get it all in one spot," Bahr said. The squad has wrestled in three open tournaments thus far this season. The difference between an open tournament and the Las Vegas meet is both in how the tournament is scored and in the number of wrestlers that enter. For the first time this season, points will be tallied for the team. It will give the squad an accurate barometer as to where itstands in relation to many ofthe nation's best teams. The Wolverines want to so- lidify their position as a top-20 program. Also, Bahr was forced to make a single entry in each weight class for Vegas. In the first three meets, every team member was allowed to compete in his own weight class. This week only 10 wrestlers will compete for Michigan. "We're going to enter our ten best guys in our weight classes," Bahr said. Despite the Wolverines' youth and inexperience, the season started with a bang. With meets at the Northern Open in Madison, Eastern Michigan and the Michigan Open in East Lan- sing, Michigan hass olidified its lineup for today's tournament. In the lightest weight class, fresh- man Joe Warren weighs in at 118 pounds. He is off to a fast start with a 12-5 record. Warren placed third in Madison and at Michigan State and is looking for a strong showing this weekend. Coach Bahr describes War- ren as a "kid with great potential." Brandon Howe is wrestling at 126 de- spite a shoulder problem. He's looking to overcome the injury and regain the form that had him ranked No. 13 nationally during the preseason. At 134 pounds, sophomore Brian Aparo adds to the list of those rebounding from broken bones. His elbow was in a cast and he is looking to fulfill his personal goals. Taya Hill, a true freshman, will wrestle in the 142-pound weight class. He was a three-time state champion in high schoo who abounds with natural ability. "if (Hill) could get rolling in the tour< nament," Bahr said, "he could surprise g lot of people." Senior Jake Young competes at 150 _ pounds. Young took second place at the Northern Open last weekend. "He has provided a lot of leadership far us," Bahr said. JeffCatribonebrings his No.4nationa4 ranking into the meet in the 158-pound-.. weight class. He won a sudden-deat4- wrestle-off with sophomore Bill Lacurc- to secure his place at 158. "We look for (Catribone) to conten for a title out in Las Vegas," Bahr said Lacure wrestles at the 167-pound levr and, at 177 pounds will be senior Jesse- Rawls, the team's captain. He had to overcome a torn anteriods. cruciate ligament that he suffered mid- way through last season. He hopes t- regain his former status as an All-Amer: can which he achieved two years ago. The 190-pound freshman Fran Lodeserto, is a "natural athlete," accord, ing to Bahr. "AlI he needs to do is get more matches under his belt," Bahr said. The heavyweight division is anchored by Michigan sophomore Airron Richardson, who was an All-Americab last year. Bahr said he expects him to. finish in the top eight nationally. Michigan sophomore Bill Lacure will wrestle in the 167-pound weight class this weekend in Las Vegas. King tot Philadelphia for Tyson - Mathis bota e esysaysn ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey said no to the Mike Tyson- Buster Mathis Jr. fight Wednesday, so' Don King is taking his show to Philadelphia. The state Casino Control Commis- sion, which barred King from doing business with casinos here last year, rejected Donald Trump's plan to have five casinos sponsor the bout at Con- vention'Hall. Kingthen decided to go west -60 miles away - and got a warm recep- tion from Mayor Ed Rendell and the boxing commission. King said he is licensed in Pennsylvania. The fight will be held at the Spec- trum Dec. 16. It will be televised live on free television by Fox Sports, King said. "Philadelphia is the home of Rocky. Philadelphia is the home of the Con- stitution. The constitutional congress met there. I think this is what democ- racy is all about." Tyson, who has recovered from the broken thumb that caused the fight's postponement, has been sparring for 1 1/2 weeks and was unfazed by the change of venue, his co-manager said. "Mike doesn't care if it's in Phila- delphia or Minnesota, he doesn't care where it is," said John Home. "He's ecstatic that it's in Philadelphia." King, whose trial on wire fraud charges ended in a mistrial, was still under indictment in August 1994 when the New Jersey Casino Control Com- mission banned him. The ban remains in place, despite the mistrial. "I'm changing to Philadelphia be- cause Philadelphia has the presump- tion of innocent until proven guilty, rather than New Jersey, which has the presumption of guilty until proven innocent," King said. King said he didn't believe New Jersey authorities would let Tyson fight here, but that he agreed to try because:Trump wanted to. Trump sought to have his three ca- sinos and the two Bally's properties to sponsor Tyson-Mathis. His law- yers structured a deal under which King would assign the promotional rights to an unidentified promoter. Tyson would have been paid up to $10 million by King and gotten a share of the gate. The casinos, mean- while, would have guaranteed up to $5 million toward ticket sales. But regulators said no dice. They voted, 4-0, to reject Trump's request, saying it was a thinly disguised at- tempt to subvert the ban on King. "Under this proposal. King would pay an unspecified fee to Tyson, which (Trump) contended would not be af- fected by the guaranteed gate re- ceipts," said commission Chairman Bradford S. Smith. Yet, unless the fee paid is the full $10 million guarantee, it is clear that the fee paid by King to Tyson will necessarily be reduced by the antici- pated fee to be paid to Tyson from the guaranteed gate receipts. "In this regard, the casinos would be indirectly conducting business with King and Don King Productions," Smith said. Joseph Fusco, who represented Trump, declined comment after the hearing. Trump, who was traveling Wednesday, could not be reached for comment. A message left at his New York office wasn't immediately re- turned. Fusco told commissioners King would not benefit directly from the casinos but struggled to answer when Smith asked him if the fight could be held without them. He also said there was precedent for granting Trump's request: The Read Daily Sports commission allowed Atlantic City casinos to broadcast the pay-per-view telecast of Tyson's fight with Peter McNeeley, which King probably de- rived proceeds from. That was different, Smith said. "It didn't involve sponsorship by Atlantic City casinos and didn't in- volve the payment of the guarantee,' he said. King called the ruling unconstitu- tional. "It was a blow against America, not a blow against Don King," he said. Tyson has fought once since being released March 25 from an Indiana prison, where he served three years for rape. He beat McNeeley in 89 seconds Aug. 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The former undisputed champion is scheduled to challenge WBC cham- pion Frank Bruno March 16 at the MGM Grand. Junior middleweights Terry Norris, the WBC champion, and Paul Vaden, the WBA champion, will fight on the Dec. 16 undercard. Carl Daniels and Julio Cesar Vazquez will fight for the vacant WBA junior middleweight belt.
