WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 18+68 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN Garishly-Dressed Illini Whip Punchless Cagers By BILL LEVIS Wearing the worst looking uni- forms since Tennessee invaded Yost Field House with orange phosphorescent attire two years ago, Illinois defeated a beleagured Michigan quintet 72-64 last night in the Events Building. The Illini's Blue wardrobe had clashing orange numerals that were incredibly large. The uni- forms also seemed to bother the Wolverines as they lost- their eighth Big Ten game in 10 starts. Michigan, down by as much as seven points in the second half, crept to within one point, 65-64 with two minutes left in the game.. The Illini streaked for sev- en straight points the rest of the way as Rudy Tomjanovich was called for two offensive goaltend- ing violations. After Price After Mike Price's free throw upped the score to 66-64, Michi- gan came storming down the court. Bob Sullivan, who led the belated charge with eight points, missed a shot from the right side. Tomjanovich went up and tipped it in. He was clearly above the rim however, and was called for goaltending. The Illini added another free throw and then Tomjanovich was ' called for his second goaltending violation in less than a minute and his third in the ball game. This time the call was question- able but the Wolverines had been drained of their fight by the de- cision. Illinois started to pull away. Price, who hadn't hit a bucket all night, added insult to injury, sinking a jumper from the right corner as the buzzer sounded. Hellish "Those two goaltending calls were really hellish but I thought they were right," said a relieved Illinois coach Harv Schmidt after the game. "Tomjanovich was clearly on top of the rim and the rules say you can't be in that cylinder. Still, they were really gutty caits by the refs," added Schmidt Michigan head coach Dave Strack disagreed with the calls but wouldn't blame the refs. "We werejust not quite as sharp to- night." The Wolverines had trouble -Daily-Thomas R. Copi BOB SULIVAN banks in another impossible shot from a typically ridiculous angle. He didn't have much success last night as shown by his scoring total-eight 'points. Nobody scored too many for The game, which ended much like Michigan's 99-92 loss to Ohio State several Saturdays ago, in- cluded 43 fouls, 25 in the first half The close calling was not the rain probem for Strack's qu'u- tet. however. "We turned over the ball too many times, and we didn't jam the backboard," be ernphasized. Hurting "Illinois was hurting us going over the top of our boys on their shots.' While the Illini only outre- bounded the Wolverines by one, they were hitting the boards when it mattered most. There was one bright spot in the debacle for the Wolverines, however. Sophomore guard Mark Henry went in for starter Ken Maxey, after the junior picked up his third foul in the first half. Henry sparked the Wolverines to within two of the Illini at half time, 33-31. Down by Seven The Wolverines were down by seven, 27-20, with five minutes re- maining but came back to tie the Illini at 31-31 as Dennis Stewart hit both free throws on a one and one situation.; But Illinois went into the dress- ing room at half time with a two point edge as Les Busboom stormed down the court and put in a layup while Michigan' looked on helplessly at the other end of the court. Stewart led the Wolverines in scoring with 19, swishing through most of his two pointers from the outside. Jim Pitts, who hit on four straight free throws, finished the game with 18. Big Surprise Pace, who went into the game with a five point average, was the biggest surprise for the Illini, hit- ting for 17 points. "He was beautiful," Schmidt praised. It was his first start this season. Dave Scholz led Illinois with 18 points "but he didn't have one of his better games. Tomjanovich played a good game keeping him away from the basket," conclud- ed Schmidt. * * * * * Ohio State Leap frogs Back into First By The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio-Ohio S hitting 13 of its first 17 from the field, defeated N western Tuesday night 87-67 vaulted back into first plac the Big Ten basketball race.

Mich- igan was so lethargic in the early stages of the game that the only sound that could be heard throughout the building was that of the ventilation system. The silence of the crowd ap- peared to put the Wolverines to sleep. Playing against a deliberate Illinois team that leads the Big Ten in defense with a 64 points- against average, Michigan was only able to hit for 31 in the first half. Big Gun?I And the Wolverine's big gun, Tomjanovich, could only hit for six points in the half and eight in the game. "(Randy) Crews did a fantas- tic job on him," a joyful Schmidt said after the game. "He has held Rudy to 20 points in two ball games." Schmidt was particularly happy with the win since the Wolverines had handed his Fightin' Illini a stunning 67-65 defeat at home. "We were awful sloppy out there but I don't care how we win them on t'le read," he noted. "We really needed that one. I, was afraid that Michigan beating' us at home screwed up our whole season." Illinois, now 5-4 in the ; conference, lost three straight be- ' fore last night's victory. The game, which included a' near fight between Dave McClei- lan and the Illini's Denny Pace late in the second half, was marred by sloppy play by both teams. There were 41 turnovers1 in all. "I'd have to say that the turn- overs were the whTole difference," moaned Strack. "We gave the ball up 25 times to their 16. And you, have to figure about a point per! turnover." The Wolverines turned the ball over nine more times than the; Illini and lost by eight.
