Since 1926, this symbol has stirred pride and respect in audiences at Memorial Stadium and the Assembly Hall. Illiniwek (pronounced "ill-EYE-nih-wek ") was the name of the loose confedera- tion of Algonquin tribes that once lived in the region. The French changed the ending to "ois" in naming what became the state of Illinois. Illiniwek means "they are men," and former Illinois football Coach Robert Zuppke is believed to have suggested calling the UI symbol Chief Illiniwek. In 1926, Assistant Band Director Ray Dvorak conceived the idea of performing an American Indian dance during halftime of the Illinois vs. Pennsylvania football game in Philadelphia. Lester Leutwiler, a student interested in Indian lore, was chosen for the role. Leutwiler's perfor- mance, done in a homemade costume, was received so well that he was asked to continue his dance through the 1928 season. Webber Borchers, the second Chief Illiniwek, was the first to appear in authentic American Indian regalia. He initiated a campaign to raise money to replace his homemade outfit with an authentic one, but with the Depression on, he received just $15. However, a Champaign merchant stepped in to fund the rest and Borchers was off. He recalled: "In the summer of 1930 I went, at my own expense, to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. I hitchhiked out, called an Indian agent and explained my mission. He and an Indian trader Chief Illiniwek appears at all men's basketball games, as well as football games and women's basketball games. called in an older Sioux Indian woman.

Coach Lou Henson received his overdue designa- tion as Big Ten Coach of the Year for molding a team with just one returning senior-scholarship athlete, and only nine scholarship players total, into an upper-divi- sion Big Ten finisher and an NCAA-tournament team. Henson is singing a different tune this year, because he knows the Fighting Illini will not be able to sneak up on anyone in 1993-94. No longer does he call his opti- mism "cautious." He readily says Illinois will have a qual- ity team this year. "We'll be good," Henson said, "because we finally have not only some talent, but also some experience and depth. We haven't had that combination in awhile." The Illini will be without four players who saw signifi- cant action last season. Andy Kaufmann, who started most of the time at BUSCHT forward, was Illinois' second-leading scorer for the sea- son and finished his career in the No. 4 spot on the all- time Ul scoring list. Reserve guards Brooks Taylor and Davin Harris Forward/center Deon Thomas led the Fighting Illini in scoring and rebounding for the second consecutive year in 1 992-93. have also departed, as has Rennie Clemons, who went academically ineligible for 1993-94, which would have been his senior season.

His improved shooting touch from 1 5 feet and out has made him a better scorer. Henson on Bennett: "Robert is an excellent offen- sive rebounder. He is a very quick jumper, he's explo- o sive, he's strong defensively and he has a good jump shot. Robert came on strong at the end of his freshman year, and we knew at that time he was going to be an n effective playerfor our team. He became a dependable player last season, and if he continues to become more consistent, I think bell have quite a year. He has a great ability to get up and down the floor, and that's important, since we like to run with the ball. Another of the reasons that Thomas should be able to shine at the power forward slot is the addition of cen- ter Shelly Clark, a junior transfer student from Indian Hills Community College in Iowa. The burly 6-9. 262- pound Chicago native was the top scorer and rebounder in the national junior college tournament last March in Hutchinson, Kan., and was named the national Junior College Player of the Year by Basketball Times. With Clark helping to patrol the lane, Thomas should be free not only to use his deft post moves, but also to flash to various medium-range spots to launch his soft jumpers. Henson on Clark: "Illinois hasn t had an inside player as physical as Shelly since George Montgomery Z (1982-85). We're going to be counting heavily upon him to rebound at both ends, as well as to play de- fense. But he has other strengths.

Last year he routinely came to practice 30 minutes early to work out on his oivn, and he fre- quently stayed after practice 30-45 minutes, too. He could probably have helped us win a couple more games last season, but we are extremely pleased that he has four years of eligibility remaining." Another freshman who will be in the mix at the "three" spot is 6-6 Jerry Hester, a very mobile, athletic player, whose ball-handling ability makes him versatile enough to play the shooting guard position. Henson will bring him along slowly at the start, allowing Hester to make the transition to college basketball smoothly be- fore he's counted upon to supply significant minutes and statistics. Henson on Hester: ferry reminds me of some of the players we had here four and five years ago.

When Retime was in- jured at the beginning of the season, we had to play Richard at the point. We were really pleased with the job he did as a freshman. He really responded to the move to two-guard. By the time the middle of the Big Ten season rolled around, Richard was playing really well. He has a lot of ability, but needs to move up his game two or three notches this year.

Freshman Kiwane Garris would have been likely to open the season backing up Clemons at the point, had Clemons been eligible, but now could see several starting assignments. The 6-2 Garris was highly touted as a high school player at Chicago Westinghouse and played in sev- eral postseason all-star games.

Sedmak combined with Gilgeous to account for 37.5 points, 14.8 rebounds and 5.1 as- sists per game a year ago. Knoche doesn't expect any of his players to put up the kind of numbers those two players did but does hope for a balanced attack from his 1993-9-t squad. The Eagles should be led by senior co-captains Erick Lawrence and Brian Palmer. Both forwards were modest scorers and rebounders last year. Other returning starters are Darn* I Franklin and Tim Fudd, both of whom could be among the top players in the league this season. In addition, Michael Blackwell. a junior, is a competent outside shooter and may provide some of the firepower the Eagles need at guard.

Karcem Townes, who scored First Meeting 22.5 points per game in the Explorers' 14-13 season a year ago. shares captain duties with Paul Burke, a 15. 1 ppg scorer in 1992-93. Those junior guards are the lone double-figure scorers returning from last year's team, which finished third in its first campaign in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. This 1993-94 squad has no seniors, and no where will the lack of experience and scoring punch show more than in the frontcourt Terquin Mott has the most playing time in the frontcourt (215 mpg last season), and should split time between forward and center. The other two frontline players who should contribute the most are for- ward Romaine Ha\Tvood, who will play for the first time since sitting out last sea- son due to NCAA Proposition 48 stipulations, and rookie Jasper Van Teeseling, from the Netherlands Coach Speedy Morris goal for the 1993-94 LaSalle team is to return to postseason play, which it missed last year after six consecutive trips.

Both Brannen and Cline were se- lected for the OVC all-newcomer team in 1992-93- The quartet will be aug- mented by three transfers from Tallahassee (Fla.)

After finish- ing a dismal 13-15 in 1991-92 and a disappointing eighth in the Big Ten, Lou Henson and his staff developed a club that would finish in the first division of the Big Ten and return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since the 1989-90 season. Led by 1990-91 IUini season-leading scorer Andy Kaufmann and preseason All-Big Ten selection Deon Thomas, the Fighting Illini were destined to return to their accustomed place among the Big Ten's best. In addition to Kaufmann and Thomas, the Illini re- turned four of their five starters from the previous year. Returning point guard Rennie Clemons, forward Tom Michael and guard T.J. Wheeler were joined by newcom- ers Chris Gandy and one of the most-heralded Illini re- cruits in recent memory, Richard Keene. Just days after losing his son, Lou, Jr., in an automo- bile crash, Lou Henson led his squad into the Great Alaska Shootout to face Dayton in the season opener. Led by Thomas' 25 points and 13 rebounds, the Illinois won its 14th consecutive Illini Classic in 1992.
