THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Cager By XYZ McFERSON Coming, off impressive back-to- tck victories over Toledo a n d innesota, Michigan's basketball team travels to Bloomington to- day for a night game with the down-and-out Hoosiers of Indiana.' The Wolverines, apparently re- gaining their sharp early-season form, thumped Minnesota 95-87 last Saturday behind Rudy Tom- -4anovich's 37 points and 24 re- bounds to move their Big Ten re- cord to 4-6. Indiana is camped in last place with a 2-8 record and doesn't look to be much of a problem f o r Michigan. The Hoosiers could be tough on the boards with 6'8" Joby Wright and 6'6' Ken John- son, but' Michigan kept even on the boards last Saturday with . Minnesota, the league's leading re- bounders, and should be able to handle the Hoosiers. Figuring to be putting the pres- sure on the Wolverine defense is Hoosier guard Jim Harris, whose 17.9 average leads the team. Har- ris scored his season high of 34 against the Rupp-men of Kentucky -no small feat. This year though, failure out- weighs success in Bloomington; one big problem is a lack of scor- 4 ing balance. While three starters average in double figures, the best the rest of the team can do is only below 7 points a game. 'Indiana's shooting percentage from the floor has remained all year under the 50 per cent mark and dips regularly into the lower X40 per cents. At the same time, opposing teams have been able to outshoot the Hoosiers, often soar- ing far above the 50 per cent mark. TH_.HGA AL Pg ee face impotent Indiana OFF THE BRUINS: Wildcats grab daily sports,. NIGHT EDITOR: JERRY CLARKE Against Iowa, for instance, Ind- iana shot an even 50 per cent from the floor in scoring 89 points, but allowed the Hawkeyes to pump in 104 points with a .614 average from the floor. Another problem tripping the Hoosiers is a characteristic lapse in the second half - one reason why their win total isn't higher than it is right now. Nevertheless, Indiana is always harder to handle on their h o m e floor. "They've been having prob- lems on away games," said Coach Johnny Orr, "but they'll be tough at home." A Wolverine victory, according to Orr, will require "the same en- thusiasm to play that beat Minne- sota." Orr also expects Tomiano- vich to turn in another fine game. Rudy's performance had dipped noticably for three games prev- ious to Minnesota, but his 37 point, 24 rebound total against the Gophers convinced any doubt- ers that Rudy is All-American ma- terial. A victory tonight could keep the. Wolverines boring along in the winning groove' and provide enough momentum to help the Maple men put the kibosh on Wis- coisinSaturday. By The Associated Press Adolph Rupp's Kentucky W i d- cats have edged ahead of UCLA in the weekly Associated P r e s s major college basketball poll by winning two games while the Bruin's 21-game winning streak was snapped by Oregon. The balloting of 29 members of a national panel of sports writ- ers and sportscasters gave Ken- tucky a two-point edge, 534-532 and a wider margin in first place votes, 14-11. Each team has a 21-1 record. South Carolina also drew three firsts and Jacksonville got one as the teams moved close to t h e tournament stage of the season. Except for the advance of Ken- tucky from second to first and the drop of UCLA to the runnerup spot, the order of the first seven teams was unchanged from last week. St. Bonaventure added victories over St. Francis and Long Is- land University to hold third place with 420 points and South Caro- lina remained in fourth position after downing both North Caro- lina State and North Carolina. New Mexico State clung to'fifth place with the end of their regu- lar season coming up Saturday. Jacksonville held sixth by drop- ping Florida State from eighth to 10th place with an 85-81 vic- tory. Pennsylvania, 23-1 and mov- ing up to its showdown battle with Columbia Friday for the Ivy L e a g u e title, held seventh by downing Yale and Brown. Marquette advanced to eighth place and Iowa used victories over Illinois and Ohio State to jump from the 11th to ninth. Florida State rounded out the Top Ten. Davidson, Wsetern Kentucky, Notre Dame, North Carolina State and Houston were the next five in order followed by Drake, Kansas top slot State, Columbia, North Carolina and Utah State. The new teams this week are Columbia, 18th and Utah State, 20th. Louisville and Santa Clara dropped out of the Top Twenty. UCLA, shooting for its fourth straight NCAA championship, saw its 21-game streak snapped by Oregon, 78-65. The Bruins still hold a two-game lead over Oregon in the Pacific Eight with four games to go. Kentucky, on the v e r g e of clinching the Southeastern Con- ference title, bombed Georgia and then whipped Louisiana State Sa- turday despite 64 points by Pete Maravich in his final home ap- pearance. Among the games on this week's schedule, involving rated teams, are South Carolina - North Caro- line State, New Mexico State - Utah State on Saturday, and the Penn - Columbia battle F r i d a Y night.

In fact hu- man good nature seems to be shin- ning thrQugh as a drive has been initiated by his fans to aid the Tiger pitcher in his financial prob- lems. "It sure makes a person feel great;" McLain said during an in- terview at his modest but attrac- tive Lakeland home. "It makes you appreciate Detroit fans ant; people generally." The drive began shortly after baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn suspended McLain pending an in- vestigation concerning associations Denny allegedly had in 1967 with illegal bookmaking. But basically the campaign has been directed toward helping him out of financial hot water. He has had numerous troubles with every- thing from taxes to non-payment of bills on his rented house in suburban Detroit. I While McLain remained in eco- nomic limbo, the Detroit Tiger pitching star is getting many job offers - primarily to entertain in nightclubs. But the 25-year-old righthander said Sunday he can't accept any of them until 'he is more definite about his future in baseball. "I've had a lot of offers from clubs in the last few days," Mc- Lain said. McLain, who plays the organ and also sings, said he had had a lot of other job offers. "But I'll just wait to find out what's going on because I want to play baseball more than any- thing else," he said. "I've got to remain optimistic. I can't be pessimistic." McLain had just returned from playing a round of golf but bas- ically he has been living in seclu- sion since being indefinitely sus- pended from baseball Thursday by Kuhn. "Did Kuhn give you, any indi- cation of how long the investiga- tion would take, or when he would give a more definite ruling," Mc- Lain was asked. "No. I have no idea at all," he replied sternly as he sat in his plush chair in his emerald-green carpeted living room.. "I'm praying for a good decision and a decision as fast as Kuhn can make it," he stressed. In another, development base- ball commisisoner Kuhn met over the weekend with Detroit Tiger manager Mayo Smith, 'general manager Jim Campbell and vice president Rick Ferrell in Florida to discuss the McLain situation. Ferrel acknowledged yesterday: "We did meet. I think it was just a matter of information that Kuhn was trying to secure to help him in his investigation," he said. "I'd rather not mention specifics." McLain was suspended Thursday by Kuhn for what the commis- sioner said was an association with illegal bookmaking activities in 1967. The suspension is for an indefinite period pending comple- tion of Kuhn's investigation into the matter. }..

After this analysis of how not to 'play the hand, perhaps you have spotted the way to cinch the contract. Declarer should take the first trick in his hand and immed- iately set out to take the diamond to clinch his contract. He should lead a diamond towards dummy, and if West ducks, as he should, declared should rise up with the king. Why? From his overcall, West almost certainly has the ace of diamonds and there is a high pro- bability that he has the king of' clubs, too. But, says the cynic, what if West has three diamonds? If that is the case, the con- tract will be made, for the de- fenders will never be able to take two diamond tricks. After the king holds, declarer should take t h e club hook and West is in for the last time before South has his nine tricks. He can lead a diamond to East's queen, and then take the ace of spades if East has t h e brains to return his partner's suit, but that is still only four tricks. South will have his diamond trick in addition to his four clubs and two tricks in each of the majors. Thinking a hand through be- fore setting out can save declar- ers much grief. CINCINNATI - Jeff Sewell hit 68 per cent of his field goals and converted two key free throws to stymie a late Xavier Ohio rally and lead eight-ranked Marquette to an 81-73 nonconference basket- ball victory last night. Sewell, hitting 13 of 19 floor shots, tallied a game-high 29 points while leading the Warriors to their 19th triumph against three losses. Xavier dropped to 5-18, its worst record in its~ 50- year history in basketball. Irish bounce Butler INDIANAPOLIS-Notre Dame's Austin Carr scored 50 points and teammate Collis Jones added 40 as the Irish beat Butler 121-114 last night before 17,000 college basketbal fans who turned out to say goodbye to Butler Coach Tony Hinkle. Carr, the nation's second-lead- ing scorer, had 27 p*ints in the first half as the 13th ranked Irish battled to a 63-60 halftime lead over the smaller Bulldogs. Butler, with sophomore Billy Shepherd making up for a rela-1 tively cold first half, took the lead, mid-way in the second half. Jones and Carr brought Notre Dame back quickly, however, and the Irish went ahead to stay at 86-84 with 10:36 to play. * * * Ebb Tide TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Dan Is- sel scored 47 pointslast night as Big Ten 'Standings top-ranked Kentucky defeated Alabama 98-89 and won its 25th Southeastern Conference basket- ball championship. The Wildcat victory coupled with Tennessee's 88-87 triumph over Louisiana State gave the Wildcats the conference title, their third in a row, and earned them an 18th appearance in the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation tournament next month. Vols vault KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Rudy Kinard sank a 20-foot jump shot as the buzzer sounded Monday night to give Tennessee an 88- 87 victory over Louisiana State in a, Southeastern Conference bas- ketball game. Pete. Maravich, the nation's leading scorer set the stage for Kinard's game-winning toss when he put the Tigers ahead 87-86 on a 15-foot jumper with 20 seconds left. Tennessee called timeout with 12 seconds remaining and the Vols worked the ballin ~the corner to Kinard who hit the winner. Tennessee limited "Pistol" Pete to 30 points, his second low out- put for the season. But the floppy- haired All-American got 22 of his total in the second half to keep LSU in contention.

Some played the nine from the board and let it hold the trick. These declarer's then pro- ceeded to take the club finesse by leading dummy's jack. West took this trick and lead another spade. South won in his hand, but by now it was too late. South needed another trick in diamonds to make nine tricks, and when he lead towards the dummy, West rose with the ace and took the spades. Down one. Some other declarer's realized the need for a diamond trick to insure the contract if the club king was offside, and they took the spade in the closed hand. They then led a diamond towards the dummy. Most cunning West players duck- ed, and when declarer took the deep finesse with the jack, East was in with. the queen and re- turned a spade.
