He was a basket- ball player for the Cincinnatti Royals and everyone said that he was the best player alive. At the same time things were not going so good for the basketball team at Michigan so someone decided that the Spartans would re- vive their fortunes by stealing this legendary Oscar. Of course such a maneuver was highly illegal but they were sly about the whole matter. They made Oscar wear number 15 instead of -14 and called him Ralph Simpson. Everything went fine until Bob Cousy found out what had happened and got very angry. He felt that the real Oscar should do his tricks for the Royals and made Michigan State give him back. Being generous, though, Cousy sent the real Ralph Simpson to State to replace Oscar. It was a bad deal for the Spartans. Ralph is a great player, there's no doubt about it, but the spho- 4 more star still has to go some before he'll be the next Robertson. He hammered in 32 points last night' but it wasn't enough to give the Spartans a victory over a Michigan team that gave what was un- doubtedly its best effort of the season. The Wolverines put on a fine team show, getting balanced scoring, and Rudy Tomanovich owned the backboards. State statis- ticians credited him with only 17 but he probably had at least 20. The Wolverines also got clutch foul shooting from Mark Henry and Bird Carter and the defensive job done by Carter and Harry Hayward on Simpson was as good as could be asked for. SIMPSON got 32, it's true, but only hit 11 shots in 31 attempts. Michigan defenders managed to keep a hand in his face while h'e was firing and at other times- did a good job of keeping the ball from him.. They had to keep him away from the ball, though, because Ralph was a great threat when he had it. Johnny Orr summed it up when he called Simpson "a super offensive player." And that statement tells why Ralph can't beat people by himself the way the real Oscar can. The trouble is that Ralph either can't or won't play defense. He is always far off his man. Your grandmother could get the shot off on him. Unfortunately for Ralph, it was not your grandmother who was shooting in his eye last night. Instead is was Carter and Hayward and no one is going to have an easy time winning when those two guys have open shots. The stat sheet tells the story. Carter popped home seven out of 10 from the field and Hayward did even better, hitting five for seven. The two forwards totalled 27 points and thus practically negat- ed any scoring that Ralph did himself. Orr was in ecstasy over his team's performance and was parti- cularly proud of Hayward and Carter. Referring to their shooting he said, "Let's see who Ralph guarded." He was also pleased about their defensive work. "We weren't going to give Ralph anything," he said, "we played him a straight man to man and did the job" ORR had good reason for his joy because many had speculated that Simpson would destroy a Michigan team that did not list defense as its forte. But the Wolverines used a tight man and effectively harried State with a press in the first half while they build up a lead. A significant fact is that Michigan was never behind and that was not lost upon Orr. "They never had us," Orr exulted. "How about that first half," he continued, "we just played a super half. That gives up two in a row up Here, how sweet it is!" Winning at State is quite an achievement at any time but doing it twice straight is almost unbelievable. The fans make it tough and the officials don't make matters easier. Several steals that Rudy Benjamin and Tim Bograkos made during the wild finish were kind of violent. "They got away with a lot of fouls when they stole that ball," Orr complained. The Michigan mentor couldn't keep a long face about anything though. It was just too good a win. Most close games this season have ended with the lament that a few breaks could have swung it the other way. Last night Michigan didn't have to suffer over a few mistakes. Instead, the Wolverines avoided the crucial errors, forced Spartan mistakes and watched the errors kill the opponent. That alone would have made it a beautiful evening. Having it happen against Michigan State made things even better. And doing it against a team that has the next Oscar Robertson was the best part of all.- W 43ilmore cans 34but rosh1 cagers lose : By ERIC SIEGEL Special To The Daily EAST LANSING - For a short while at Jenison Field House here last night, it looked like the game might be an instant replay of a couple of the Wolverine cagers' Big Ten losses "earlier this season; as the Wolverines built up a big lead early in the contest and then watched the Spartans get hot and start whittling away at that lead. But the Maize and Blue added an O'Henry twist to their standard script, as Mark Henry and Bird Carter produced some clutch shooting to give the Wolverines a 91-88 win over the Spartans. After the Spartans had toned the Wolverines' 15 point margin down to six with a little less than Bi Ten Standings t! 4 s r l NIGHT EDITOR: LEE KIRK Illinois Iowa Minnesota Ohio State MichiganState Purdue MICHIGAN Wisconsin Northwestern Indiana Yesterday's W L Pct. 5 0 - 1.000 3 0 1.000 3 2 .600 3 2 .600a 22 .5aa 2 2 .500 2 4 .333 1 3 .250 1 4 .200 0 3 .000 Results four minutes left to play, Carter and Henry collected 10 of Michi- gan's last 11 points. The Wolverinens, who went into the half with a 47-33 lead, still led by 15 points with 5:52 left to play in the game. I But then the Spartans, who shot a cold 35 per cent in the first half and only a slightly warmer 41.4 per cent for the entire evening, came to life, tscoring nine straight points to cut the Wolverines' lead to 80-74. But Henry and Carter, who fin- ished with 9 and 17 points respec- tively, showed that the Wolverines still had some mustard left in their Iattack. Henry drew a foul from Rudy Benjamin, the Spartan guard, and converted two one-on-one free throws. After the Spartans missed a shot under their own basket, Carter took a long pass from Dan Fife and dumped the ball through' the .hoop to bring the Wolverines up to 84-74. Henry got the next two for the Wolverines, as the Spartans were called for goaltending. The game wasn't over yet, though, and it took some clutch shooting by Carter from the free throw stripe to keep the game out of the grasp of the Green Meanies, The Spartans, coming out in a pressing man-to-man defense, stole the ball a couple of times and once again narrowed the gap this time to 88-84. The Spartans steals, though, en- gineered for the most part by Ben- 'jamin, weren't exactly pure thefts, as Benjamin repeatedly reached around Mark Henry's arm to grab the ball. As Michigan Coach John- ny Or rcommented after the game, "They got away with a lot of fouls when they stole the ball." But the Spartans didn't get away with some fouls in the next couple of minutes, as Benjamin and Lloyd Ward each fouled Car- ter. The Bird used the.opportunity to pick up all his free throws for the night, as he first connected on one of two freebies and then hit both ends of a one-one chance. Carter's clutch-shooting at the end of the game was indicative of his play throughout the game. In addition to his last minute free throws, the 6-1 forward hit on 7 of 10 field goal attempts. Six of Carter's field goals came in the first half, as the Wolverines jumped into an early lead, and maintained a 13 to 17 point margin throughout the entire half. Rudy Tomjanovich helped the Wolverines cause in that half with 10 points. More noteworthy, how- ever, were Tomjanovich's 12 first- half rebounds.

Tech 68 Gophers goose icers By JOEL GREER Special 'Io The Daily MINNEAPOLIS - "We started out strong but became very flat after the first period," voiced a' disheartened Merle Falk after the' Wolverines' second straight defeat at the hands of league leading Minnesota. The Gophers exploded for four unanswered goals during a span of seven minutes early in the secondl period as the Michigan defense collapsed again. The second per- lod outburst gave Minnesota a 4-3 lead, and the Gophers went to complete the series sweep winning 6-3, yesterday. In contrast to the wide open game Friday night the contest was a close checking affair with Mich- igan grabbing the lead at the out- set. Ron Peltier, one half of the fan- tastic brother combination from St. Paul, went off at 7:13 of the first period after he crashed Ber- nie Gagnon into the boards. P ro... ._ .. . . The Minnesota penalty resulted in the first Michigan goal which same at 8:42 when Don Deeks, slid a wrist shot passed a screened Murray McLachlan. The second Michigan tally came on an excellent individual effort by Captain Dave Perrin. Perrin went behind the Minnesota goal, stole the puck from the Gopher defense went around another de- fender and sent a pass to Brain Skinner who was open at the point. Skinner drilled a hard shot Ghat Deeks turned in at the right of McLachlan. Another fine effort was shown by Bernie Gagnon as he set up, and scored, the goal that gave Michigan at 3-0 lead at the close of the first period. Gagnon inter- cepted a pass at center and skated strongly down the right wing. He spotted Paul Gambsy on the left wing and fed a pass to him at the right of the Minnesota goal. As the lone defender tried to check Gamsby, Gagnon was open to the left of McLachlan. Gambsy got the pass back to Gagnon and he back- handed it in the open corner. The Peltier brothers started the Gophers moving when Doug sent a Srink-wide pass to Ron and the tandem went in on a two-on-one break. Ron got the puck back to Doug who picked the upper right SPEEDY Copy and Duplicating Center Typing-Printing Xerox Copies 100 COPI ES-$1.95 601 E.

Marra was caught' in the Gopher zone when Ron Peltier and Wally Olds skated down the ice with only Brian Skinner back. Peltier fin- ished the play and the screaming Gopher partisans went wild. Less than two minutes later Mike Kurtz scored the tying goal as his blue line shot deflected off of Jerry Lefebvre' and eluded a helpless Hastings. By NORM SCHERR It was a long weekend that turned out short and sweet for Michigan swimmers. In a span of a little 'more than 24 hours they claimed victories over Southern Methodist, Purdue and Princeton, to raise their season mark to six straight dual meet wins. Both Purdue and Princeton were handily defeated yesterday, 84-39 and 75-48 respectively, in anticlimactic battle following the Wolverines' narrow triumph, 57- 56, over a highly rated SMU squad on Friday. While the times were not ex- ceptional, Michigan swimmers still managed to take 11 out of 13' firsts from the slower Boiler- makers.' Curt Finney paced the Wolverines with double victories in the distance freestyle, and Tim Sullivan, Jeff Watts and Bob Zann led in the sprints and mid- dle distance events. The 200-yard individual medley was the specialty of Don Peterson, while thebreaststroke and back- stroke were .captured by Mike Whitaker and Rick Dorney. Against Princeton, the Wolver- ines did not fare as well in the backstroke and butterfly, but' managed quite ably in the other events. The individual medley was easily won by Captain Gary Kin- kead, and the freestyle fell to Wolverine Greg Zann, Juan Bello, Tim Sullivan, Dave Kelley and Larry Day. Mike Whitaker re- peated in the breaststroke. For Michigan's divers thp week- end proved to be a bonanza. Dick Rydze and Alan Gagnet, the dy- namic duo of Blue boards, aided their team's revenge against SMU by sweeping one-two on the low board and one-three on the high, providing the one point margin for victory. Against Purdue Chris Newcomer and Jim McKee captured the three meter event while John Hamilton placed first on the one meter board. Later in the day, Rydze and Gagnet repeated their fine per- formances of the night before by taking the -low board event from Princeton. The Tigers struck back on the high board, with John Huffstutler outdiving Michigan's Bruce McManaman, taking .the only event yielded by the Wolver- ine 'springers during the entire series.; The depth and experience o the diving team enable Coach Dick Kimball to experiment with the placement of his divers. "After knocking off SMU, the pressure eased, and we had a chance to maneuver around and check out the team. They all turned in top notch performances. "Rydze and Gagnet were their consistent best, and I was greatly pleased with McKee and New- comer." a- ....... COUPON mmmw, I I U U THOMSONS I U Soff 50c cuff Large one item for mare) Npizzc.

Ahead by as much as 10 in the second half, the Wolverines scored only 25 points in that period, hit- ting only 26.5 per cent of their shots from the floor. Only two Michigan players, Leon Roberts and Henry Wilmore scored field goals in the second stanza. At the end of the first period it appeared ' that the Michigan frosh had the contest well in hang. They led by as much as 16 points and controlled the game until' Ernie Johnson was benched with three fouls with about nine min. utes left in the first half. Henry Wilmore led .the attack. as he swished 9 of 10 from the, field and two for. four from :the: line for20 points in the period, even though he spent six minutes resting on the bench. The Wolverines built their lead on a 14-2 streak early in the per- iod, running the score from 7-6 to 21-8 before the Spartans man- aged to sink a free throw.J With the removal of Johnson and John Lockard late in the first period the Wolverines lost icontrol of the backboards and the Spar- tans began to fight back. Five minutes into the second period they were within three and inan- other four minutes they were, ahead. Michigan tried to come back but even though four of the five State players, all except 5'2" Gary Gan- akas, had four fouls, the Spartans managed to hang on. They were helped by the Wol-, verines' inability to score and by their propensity. to turn the ball over. The State marksmen also helped themselves s they sank 71.4 per cent of their second per- iod shots. Wilmore put on his best per- formance of the season in the los- ing cause, finishing with 34 points and missing only five shots from the floor. Roberts was next with 11 followed by Johnson with 10. ,Montreal 4, Chicago 1 New York 8, Boston 1 Detroit 5, St. Louis 2 Philadelphia 6, Minnesota 0 Pittsburgh 4, Los Angeles 2, N BA Eastern Division W L Pct.
