DETROIT FREE PRESSWEDNESDAY, NOV. 27, 1985 3D Huskers' reserve QB will have surgery, miss Fiesta notebook Free Press Staff and Wire Reports Nebraska backup quarterback Travis Turner will undergo knee surgery Friday and will miss the Cornhuskers' game with Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Day. "There's still a lot of football in me," Turner said. "But my body just won't let me play. I thought I'd have one more chance for a good game, but I guess it's over." Turner, a senior from Scottsbluff, who walked on at Nebraska five seasons ago, will have reconstructive surgery on his right knee.

Turner, plagued by knee problems this season, said he had been looking forward to the battle with Michigan. "I want to play so bad and I can't," he said. "I hate the whole situation. I feel like a quitter." Turner started six games last fall and went into this season as the No. 1 quarterback, but lost the starting job to sophomore McCathorn Clayton.

Turner completed 21 of 55 passes for 418 yards and two touchdowns. After he suffered a torn cruciate ligament in kiewicz and placekicker Mike Gillette remain suspended indefinitely, said Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. Senior Pat Moons will handle both chores for the time Schembechler's first Bowl in Arizona: Schembechler recalled the 1950 Salad Bowl at Phoenix, when he played as an offensive tackle for Miami, Ohio: "We played Arizona State and Woody (Hayes) was our coach and Ara Parseghian was an assistant. It was a great experience for Miami none of us guys had ever been in the Southwest. We won, 34-21, in Phoenix at a high school stadium and as soon as we got back Woody took the job at Ohio State." Cochran is Ail-America: Defensive back Brad Cochran was named Tuesday to the All-America team voted on by eight representatives of the Football Writers Association of America.

Other defensive backs named to the squad are Scott Thomas of Air Force and Michael Zordich of Penn State. U-M player to be among the four finalists for the Lombardi Trophy, honoring the top college lineman in the country. Hammerstein also was named the team's top defensive lineman. He totaled 75 tackles. Senior linebacker Mike Mallory, the second-leading tackier (99) despite missing three games, won the Derek Howard hustler of the year award, and defensive tackle Marty Shimko was named the unsung hero of the year.

Other award winners will be announced Monday at the U-M bust at Cobo Hall. Harbaugh player of week: Michigan quarterback Jim Harbaugh has been selected Midwest player of the week on offense by the Associated Press for leading the Wolverines to a 27-17 triumph over Ohio State. Harbaugh, a 6-3, 200-pound senior from Palo Alto, completed 16 of 19 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns Saturday. Suspended Indefinately: Kickoff man Rick Sut- the spring intrasquad game, "he was never quite the same," coach Tom Osborne said. "In terms of leadership and knowledge of our overall offense, Travis was the best prepared to play this year.

But his physical ability has really been limited." Turner agreed to have the surgery this week at Osborne's suggestion. "There's no point in risking further damage to the knee," Turner said. "It's been getting worse." U-M'8 MVP: Defensive tackle Mike Hammerstein, who had 22 tackles for losses totaling 1 10 yards, was named the most valuable player of the Michigan football team Tuesday. Hammerstein, a senior from Wapakoneta, Ohio, is a member of Kodak's All-America first-team and is the first Perles: Recruiting will be test for MSU Skiles leads MSU in rout of Maine MSU notebook By TOMMY GEORGE Free Press Sports Writer EAST LANSING -In a game when neither team had a starter taller than 6-feet-8, the smallest men prevailed. Michigan State routed Maine, 89-r58, Tuesday night at Jenison Field House, sparked by Scott Skiles' 29 points and Darryl Johnson's 21.

Skiles is 6-1, Johnson 6-2.

More White: Long and White were named co-winners of United Press International's Big Ten player of the year award Tuesday. AP Photo "We went out and played against their matchup zone just like it wasn't even there," said Maine coach Tom Chappelle.

"And then their guards started coming from every which way." And so did Spartans guardforward Vernon Carr, who missed three first-half shots, but finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds before a crowd of 6,021. "I DON'T THINK the kids were mentally prepared for this pesky club," said MSU coach Jud Heathcote. "We got 10- and 12-point leads early and couldn't put them away. It wasn't easy until you looked at the scoreboard." Michigan State led only 40-31 at halftime. Michigan State made a mockery of the 45-second shot clock, running three-on-one and four-on-one fast breaks in the second half.

The Spartans shot 51.5 percent from the floor, hit 19 of 21 free throws and were aided by 15 Maine turnovers. It was the Black Bears' season opener, and they played without 6-1 1 center Charles Bunker, who stayed at home because of a sprained ankle. Without Bunker, Maine 11-17 last season was overmatched. Michigan State (2-0) admitted it was looking ahead to its Spartan Cutlass Classic Friday. The tournament includes Central Michigan, Western Michigan and Delaware.

"AND WE ALWAYS have a problem with teams that come out and spread it out," Skiles said. Johnson, who matched his career high in scoring, said, "I think we played good defense and filled the lanes on the MSU's Scott Skiles reaches past Maine's Mike Bitterman (44) and makes a shot early in the game. By JACK SAYLOR Free Press Sports Writer EAST LANSING George Perles stood in the chill outside Michigan State's locker room at Wisconsin's Camp Randall Stadium last Saturday and looked to the future. Sure, it was nice to finish 7-4, he said, but his team still might be a couple of years away from Big Ten title contention. Then he made an interesting observation.

"Our next recruiting class will be the most important one we've had," Perles said. Perles sees the upcoming recruiting class as one that can give MSU the strength and depth necessary for a sound program. He's prepared to dip into the freshman class to replace players and provide strong backups for next season. "We don't have that many seniors," he said. "We have a good nucleus coming back.

We redshirted quite a group this year (19) and 15 the year before It's always been our plan to win as many games as we can without gimmicks and grow to depend on fifth-year seniors." The primary players to be replaced on offense are tight ends Veno Belk and Butch Rolle, and linemen John Wojcie-chowksi and Steve Bogdalek. On defense, linemen John Jones, Joe Curran, Jim Rinella, Kelly Quinn and Mark Beaudoin, linebacker Anthony Bell and All-Big Ten safety Phil Parker are seniors. "I think it would be fair to call us a dark horse contender next year," Perles said. "At least I hope so." These are the days when winning teams reap the rewards. Perles, his staff and squad were hailed by a big and enthusiastic crowd of supporters Tuesday night at the annual football bust at Long's restaurant.

Now that the cast has been removed, Gastineau has all the freedom the Jets' 3-4 defense allows, which is considerable. "Now nothing's bothering me," he said.

"I'm looking forward to the last part of the season One of my goals is to finish these last few games the way I started last year." He started 1984 with four sacks against Indianapolis and continued for an NFL-leading 22 sacks and a fourth consecutive Pro Bowl appearance. The only thing missing is his sack dance, which pleased Jets fans but angered opposing players and fans. THAT KIND OF emotional display along with group high-fives and end-zone dances was banned two years ago, but Gastineau says he's getting back in practice. "Last time (after the Jets' 16-13 overtime win against New England on Sunday) I stayed later and as we were leaving the field I was able to do my dance," he said. "The game was over so there was nothing they (the officials) could do about it.

"It's been so long since I'd done one, I wasn't in dancing shape. Actually I was happy I was almost in the tunnel when I started dancing. If I'd started at the other end of the field, I don't know if I'd have made it." LIONS, from Page 1D wanted to line up against Gastineau on Thanksgiving Day. "He's an outstanding football player," Dorney said. "I enjoy playing against quality people.

It seems to bring out the best in me." And that's why when it was determined Dorney probably would have to stay at guard for at least another week Strenger gladly accepted the job. "I'm looking forward to it," Strenger said. "It's definitely going to be a big challenge, but if I didn't like a challenge, I wouldn't be playing this game. "It'll give me a pretty good idea how good a tackle I am." DESPITE A BROKEN right thumb suffered in the pre-season, Gastineau leads the Jets with 9y2 sacks in 12 games. And he's hoping for a strong finish, now that he's rid of the cast he wore for eight games.

"It (the broken thumb) hampered me all year," Gastineau said. "I was only able to play on pass-rush situations and only from one side of the line, since I could only use my good hand." Consequently, he always lined up at left end instead of occasional rushes from other spots and opposing tackles knew his only effective move was to the outside. smm esse hs FREEimMiiLSB PURCHASE OF 4 TIRES.
