The other coach would just as soon leave things as are. Coaches Ted Bauer of Ever-ett, Gus Ganakas of East Lansing and Charley Sweeney of Eastern said they probably will change their lineups for Tuesday night action but Sexton coach Clayt Kowalk said he will continue with his same starting five.

Everett still has a season mark of 74. "I'm going back to Ken Horizny, Don Schneider Neil Johnson, Les Koren and Ed Stephens," said Bauer about his proposed starting unit against the Big Reds. Horiszny, the team's leading scorer, didn't start against Adrian and Koren is a recent addition to the lineup.

Kowalk said he will stick, with John Holms, Lorie Moore, Fred Charon, Cliff Foster and Tyrone Fletcher in his starting unit. They also started when the Big Reds trimmed the Vikings, 92-77, in their first meeting in December. East Lansing, a team that has had problems winning at home, will face an Eastern team that has had troubles winning on the road. Last Friday, Battle Creek Lakeview edged the Trojans, 59-56, in overtime while Ann Arbor defeated the Quakers, 58-50. The loss dropped the Trojans to a 74 season record but 2-3 at home while the Quakers fell to 4-6 for the season and 24 on the road.

"I'm toying with the idea of putting Bob Blanding in at a guard," said Ganakas, whose Trojans edged the Quakers, 55-53, in the first game of the season. Ganakas said other starters probably would be Tom Black, Jim Harris, Chris Combs and Craig Tefft. Sweeney also said there Personal Fouls: Holt 21, Gabriels 16.
