Mikan's free throw, which came right after Dan Fife had converted a similar situation for the Wolverines, put the Gophers on top by one, 79-78, and seemed to break Michigan's purge sinks Wolverines _._ WHIP OSU Hawke yes remain undefeated spirit as Minnesota ran their lead up to 87-78 before the Wolverines managed to score ,again. Minnesota was aided in the closing seconds by a traveling call on Fife and fouls on Rudy Tom- Janovich and Wayne Grabiec. Though the Wolverines tried 'to stage a comeback with quick baskets by Tomjanovich and Gra- biec, the Gopher lead was insur- mountable. The Gopher's had led through much of the second half, but had never been able to build up more than a six point margin until the end. Michigan was able to stay close due to the shooting of Tom- janovich, who hit for 19 in the first period, and the propensity of the Gophers to commit fouls. Minnesota's high scorer, Ollie Shannon, who finished with 32 points; had to spend time watch- ing rather than scoring after pick- ing up his fourth foul with over ten minutes left. Until the final fiasco the game had stayed close. Minnesota led in the opening minutes, but never by more than a few points. The Wolverines knotted the score with daily NIGHT EDITOR ELLIOT LEGOW 13:41 left in the first period 19-19. The lead then changed hands four times in the next seven min- utes before Michigan pulled back into the lead with six-and-one- half minutes left on a jumper by Bird Carter. The Wolverines went off the court at halftime leading 41-39. Minnesota tied it up as the sec- ond half opened but Tomjanovich hit on a long jump shot to regain the lead which the Wolverines managed to hold for about five minutes. Then the Gophers knot- ted the count once more on a tech- nical foul shot. Two more foul shots by Pyle put the Gophers on top, where they remained until Fife's three point play. By The Associated Press IOWA CITY - Big Ten cham- pion Iowa raced away from Ohio State in the early minutes last night, then turned on the steam for a 113-92 basketball victory. John Johnson led the eighth- ranked Hawkeyes' point machine with 37 points and a brilliant floor game. Dave Sorensen was tops for Ohio State with 34. The victory was Iowa's 13th without a loss in the Big Ten and closed the Hawkeye home season amid shouts of "We're number one." Iowa, which won its 15th straight game, now is 18-4 for the season. Ohio State stands 7-6 in the league and 16-7 overall. Iowa led the entire game after shaking Ohio State early in the contest with a full-court press. The Hawkeyes were out in front 52-36 at intermission.

Kelley and teammate Jim Sarno helped the Wildcats to a 40-33 halftime margin after Wisconsin had held a temporary lead in the early going.

Sherrod paced the Badgers with 23 points. Big Ten Standings : APPEARING SOON Iowa Purdue Illinois Ohio State Minnesota Wisconsin MICHIGAN Mich.

For nearly a decade Michigan has finished runner-up to power- house Indiana. And the chances for terminating this monotonous tradition this year are, in the words of Coach Gus Stager, "very bleak." Easily ranked number one na- tionally and with a team depth approaching a coach's wildest fancy, Indiana will probably not only dominate but permeate the wining positions in the Finals. The extent of Hoosier might was painfully demonstrated to the Wolverines earlier this season when they were decimated in their worst humiliation in recent time. Perhaps with this in mind, Stag- er comments on the Hoosier depth. "Gary Hall and Mark Spitz are unbeatable, and Larry Barbiere has gotten better. There's a good chance that Indiana will cap- ture at least a first in every event. "THE EXCEPTIONS may de- velop in the 50 and 100-yard free- style, if they decide to use Spitz elsewhere. In that case (Juan) Bello should be able to take the 100 for us. "They may even make a clean sweep in the 1650-yard freestyle and ,the backstroke events." A possible exception to Indiana's monopoly could occur in the breaststroke events. Michigan's Bill Mahoney or Michigan State's Jeff Lanini might be able to knock off the Hoosiers in this area. Besides a formidible foe in Ind- iana, Michigan will be expecting a challenge from Michigan State and 'Ohio State for the runner-up spot. But Coach Stager t h i n k s that Michigan depth will contain the threat, as it did during t h e dual meet season. That leaves Michigan State and Ohio State to fill out the third and fourth positions, with MSU a favorite for third. Minnesota or Illinois should round out the re- maining slots in the first division.* Heading the list of Michigan veterans department south a r e N stalwarts Bello and Captain, Gary Kinkead. The 100 and 200-yard freestyle are Bello specialities, while Kinkead will probably find service in the 500-yard free, the 400-yard individual medley and 200-yard backstroke.

Concerning the team's readiness,< Stager says, "Two things to look at to assess potential are times and attitudes. In practice so far this week, the times have been slower than last week. But I think this reflecPs a general worried feeling in having to face such tough opposition. "It's hard to get up for a meet knowing you're just about assured of doing no better than second." "I'M HOPING for an 'over-per- formance' at the right time," said Stager. "This seems to be a tradi- tion of Michigan teams, but I haven't seen it with this team so far this year." But not all of the Michigan squad is resigned to second. "We've got a doggone good chance to catch a first," claimed diving coach Dick Kimball. "Our con- tingent is experienced and in good shape, especially in required dives." Dick Rydze heads the diving unit, and, together with Al Gag- net, Bruce McManaman and Paul McGuire should give Indiana a battle on the one and three meter boards. The competition will be keen, since Big Ten divers usually rank among the best in the na- tion. "Even if Indiana's Jim Henry should place first, we have the potential to score a team total as least as high as theirs," said Kim ball.
