Cardinal Vol. XLVI No. 23 Room 117, Otter Hall, Louisville, Ky. 40208 March 7, 1975 Cards head for regionals by Preston Prefontaine The way Denny Crum figures, 'it's to~ late in the year to change a _ winning formula. So, when Rutgers nipped St. John's 79-77 in New York last Saturday for the right to face Crum's U of L basketball team in _ the first round of the NCAA Midwest Regional, Crum wasn't up in the stands scouting them. And neither were any of his assistants. "I don't believe in scouting other teams," Crum explained. "I just want my team to go out and play the best they can. Let the other team wotry about how we're gonna play." So far his philosophy has proven right. Crum brings a 24-2 record into tomorrow's 8 p.m. (EDT) game at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. The mark is the best in the school's history, and is second in the nation only to Indiana's 29-0 record. A win by the Cardinals tomorrow night would put them in the semi-finals of the regional against the winner of the Cincinnati-Texas A&M contest next Thursday at Las Cruces, New Mexico. The winner in the fmal there, of course, advances to the championship round in San Diego March 29-31. Although none of the U of L staff has seen Rutgers play this season, Crum still knows something about them. "They have two very fine scorers in Phil Sellers (22.4 points per game) and Mike Dabney (19.6)," he pointed out. "They're averaging over 86 points a game as a team so we know that they can run with the ball. It should be an interesting game, since . both teams are fast-break oriented." Sellers, a forward, and Dabney, a guard, are only two of the Scarlet Knights averaging in double figures. The others include forward Hollis Copeland (13.8) and guard Ed Jordan (13.1). Center Mike Palko, averaging 4.1 points per game, rounds out the starters. U of L is expected to counter with their standard lineup of Allen Murphy and WeSley Cox at forward, Bill Bunton at center and Junior Bridgeman and Phillip Bond at guard. Cox Sat ·out last Thursday's season fmale against Dayton after straining his hamstring in the second half of the Memphis State game. Although he missed most of Monday•s workout, Crum said that ''Wes is just taking it easy so he won't reinjure himself. I'm sure he,l start against Rutgers." If not, Crum has found a suitable replacement in Ike Whitfield. Whitfield, a seldom-used reserve senior forward, started against Dayton and popped in 14 points, hitting six of seven shots from he field. "Ike plays that way in practice every , day," Crurn told reporters after the game. "I'm sure he could do that if he got to play more often, but we have twelve players and it's hard to give everyone a lot of playing time." Crum started an all-senior l~neup against the Flyers, with Whitfield and Terry Howard joining Bridgeman, Murphy and Bunton, for their last home game. And, while the crowd of 14,901 showed their appreciation to all five , they saved the biggest cheers for Bridgeman and Murphy. When the two players were pulled off the court near the game's end, the fans gave them a three-minute standing ovation. It did not go unnoticed. ''It hit all at once," said Bridgeman, who has combined with Murphy to total almost 2,600 points in three years. ''WOW, I'm le~lVing. like that. The fans were unbelievable, but they've been that way all season. The people you come in contact with determine how well you like a place." "My mind's set on the NCAA," Murphy added, "but suddenly there's this funny feeling. like leaving home again." Murphy isn't the only one who is looking to the upcoming tournaments. Crum said Tuesday that even though he feels the Midwest - with Maryland, Cincinnati., Kansas ~d Notre Dame playing among others -'\.rill be one of the toughest regions to get out of, he gives his team a shot of winning it all. "On a given night, there are 30 or 40 teams in the country that are ~apable of beating us." "But, on other nights, I think we can play with- and beat- ANY team in the nation." U of L followers will be hoping for a long string of "other nights" starting tomorrow. Photogr.tph by Rick Yetter Scott Yeakey and Greg Price exchange happy greetings after both were victorious in the student elections Tuesday and Wednesday. Price slate sWeeps Senate race · by Kenny V andeveJde A slate led by incumbent Student Senate President Greg Price swept to an overwhelming victory in the senate election Tuesday and Wednesday. Every member of the slate, which included candidates for all four offices and the ten at-large seats, was elect-ed. Greg Price was re-elected senate president, defeating independent candidate David King, and Stephan Phelps, who led his own slate. King is currently a member of the senate, and last week, was elected vice-president of the Speed School Student Council. Phelps was active in student government at Morehead University and in the Young Democrats. The final vote total was: Price 596, Phelps 360, and King 302. Joe Fowler, currently a student senator and editor of the 1974-75 yearbook, Deja Vu. was elected executive vice-president, defeating Joe Gillespie and Ian Sonego. Gillespie was a member of the Phelps slate while Sonego ran as an independent. The final vote was Fowler 629, Gillespie 311, and Son ego 246. The executive vice-presidency is a newly created position. Fowler's principal duty will be presiding over meetings of the senate. A&S Student Council President Scott Yeakey defeated Yoshi Matsuda 741 to 408 for the academic vice-presidency. .Yeakey was on the Price slate and Matsuda was on Phelps.' In the services vice-presidential race, Vicki Harned defeated Debbie Kent and Kevin Maloney. Kent was on the Phelps' s~ e while Maloney ran as an independent. The final vote was Harned 551, Kent 345, and Maloney 248. The Price slate campaigned largely on the basis of the experience of its candidates. Three of the four members have at least two years experience in student go~mrnent. The Phelps slate stressed the theme that the incumbent administration did not adequately represent the commuter and night students. Ballot boxes for the election ·were set up in five different locations. The Price sJate carried the baiJot boxes in the UC Building, the law school and in the Hca1th Sciences Campus. Particularly devastating t-o the Phelps ticket and the independent cand,idatcs was the turnout on the Health Sciences Campus. AJl members of the Price slate polled over 100 votes there, while no other candidate received over eight votes. Phelps told the Cardinal that his slate had not actively campaigned on Health Sciences campus because they didn't know until too late that a ballot box would be on that campus. The Phelps ticked carried the box in Davidson Hall, due to heavy campaigning there by the slate for support from the night students. David King, the only Speed student running, carried Speed School handily. Price's running mates, Fowler and Yeakey (Continucd.on page 2) . • •

Title | The Louisville Cardinal, March 14, 1975. |
Volume | XLVI |
Issue | 23 |
Description | The University of Louisville’s undergraduate newspaper. The title of this publication has varied over the years, but with the exception of the period 1928-1930, when it was known as the U. of L. News, the title has always been a variation of The Cardinal. The masthead on this issue reads "March 7, 1975" and "Vol. XLVI No. 23" but this appears to be a carry over from the previous issue. All subsequent pages read "March 14, 1975." This also appears to be issue 24. |
