4-E Sunday, April 22. '73 DETROIT FREE PRESS BUT BO GETS A GOOD LOOK Wolverines Land Squad Game Is 'Just for Fun' U-M Ca Star 6-8i ge you can't get one good defensive line together." Although the Wolverines showed little other than the conservative offense that has become a trademark, there were some encouraging signs. SOPHOMORE tailback Gordon Bell 6parkled with 75 yards in 12 carries, junior tailback Chuck Heater knocked 64 yards and a TD in nine plays and fullback Ed Shut-tlesworth hit the line 14 times for 54 yards for the Blue team. their fun. And, fun it was for just about everybody except Blue quarterback Tom Slade, who was victimized by four interceptions and a pitchout to an "invisible" back which resulted in a fumble recovery by the Whites.

"It was like the other game (last year)," Schembechler chuckled, "fun, but it doesn't show much. "Neither team could move the ball because when you divide the team you're so thin The University of Michigan claimed the first basketball recruiting gem of the spring. Randy McLean, All-State center from Walled Lake Central, has signed a letter of intent to play his col-; lege basketball for the Wolver- ines. There'll be others to follow Tom Lagarde, Bob Elliott, Tom Scheffler, Greg Johnson, etc. but McLean has made his choice and Michigan coach Johnny Orr couldn't be happier.

"With Henry Wilmore, Ernie Johnson, Ken Brady and John Lockard all graduating we had to recruit some front-line help and Randy fits the bill. I'm sure that he will have a fine career at Michigan," Orr said. In his senior season, McLean averaged 30.1 points and 24 rebounds a game and shot BY CURT SYLVESTER free Press Sports Writer ANN ARBOR-After five weeks of intensive spring drills, the Michigan Wolverines probably deserved a little fun. And that's what they got Saturday in the annual spring game which saw the White team dump the Blues, 17-7, on a touchdown run of four yards by fullback Bob Thornbladh, a 27-y a scoring pass from Larry Cipa to Gil Chapman and a 37-yard field goal by sophomore Bobby Wood. But the game itself was of little consequence.

Coach Bo Schembechler, who watched the game from the press box, had gathered enough information from the spring drills to last him until the real thing next fall. SO HE LET the players select their own teams and have Thornbladh was the leading ground gainer for the White team with 54 yards in 15 tries. The lack of offensive luster, however, didn't upset Schembechler since junior quarterback Dennis Franklin, who will give the Wolverines their most pizzaz in recent years, sat out the game with a minor back injury. Schembechler instead remained concerned over his defensive unit which appears to be loaded with talent. Don Dufek son of for-mer U-M Rose Bowl hero of the same name, gave promise that he'll help the Wolverines at the "wolf" spot, while defensive back Barry Dotzauer and safety Dave Brown showed they hadn't lost anything from last season by picking off two Slade passes apiece.

"Defense that's my big gest concern, my only said Schembechler. "If the defense comes along we'll be OK although I wouldn't say our exhibition today was too strong." THE 2,000 or so fans who showed up at Michigan Stadium, with the memory of last season's Ohio State failure still fresh in mind, might have had another cause for concern. On the Wolverines' first goal-line situation, second down and one for a TD, Shut-tlesworth fumbled a handoff from Slade and the White team recovered reminiscent of the goal-line failures In the OSU loss. Cipa, presently the No. 2 quarterback behind Franklin, completed just four of 14 passes for 73 yards, while Slade hit five of 11, with the four interceptions, also for 73 yards.

Free Installation Within 60 Minutes of the Completion of Purchase PHILADELPHIA (AP) Montreal's Ken Dryden is convinced that the Philadelphia Flyers-are for real. The 25-year-old Dryden should know. De-' 'spite the fact Montreal leads 2-1 in the Stanley best-of-seven game semifinal series, net- minder Dryden has been peppered repeatedly.

The 6-foot-4, 215-p Dryden expects more of the same Sunday afternoon when the teams meet in the fourth game of the series (3 Channel 4 TV in the Detroit area). "WE HAVEN'T exactly overwhelmed them," said the goalie, referring to the split of overtime games in Montreal (5-4 Flyers and 4-3 Canadiens) and Thursday night's 2-1 squeaker. "Their offense puts great 'pressure on the defensive team." I The Flyers were rough on Dryden in the regular season in which the two teams fought a. 2-2-1 stalemate. Philadelphia averaged five goals against him, 4.80 overall against the three Canadiens' goalies.

Dryden, however, isn't basing his inflated opinion of the Flyers on the regular season. "In the playoffs," says Dryden, "you get a better indication. You meet every second night and you see men make the same plays successfully over and over. That's when you say, 'Gee, that was no Philadelphia has to win Sunday or face a 3-1 deficit. That's not a pretty prospect for coach Fred Shero's upstarts.

It would mean winning tree straight games from a team which lost only 10 in regular season play. SHERO'S BIGGEST concern now is the health of Rick MacLeish, who missed the third game Thursday night because of an attack of tonsilitis. MacLeish scored 50 goals and totaled 100 points for the Flyers during the season. He's the key to their successful power play. In the playoffs, MacLeish leads the Flyers with seven points, three goals and four assists.
