Tuesday, November 26, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine' Varsity mauls frosh in loosely played opener i a , f it ' r : @ f r fit. By BILL CUSUMANO Michigan revealed its new look in basketball last night in the annual Varsity-Freshmen game, and the sparse crowd came away less than impressed. In a game minated by mistakes and sloppy P y, the varsity ran Ito a 105-78 victory that showed a need for the remaining week of practice before the season's opener. Coach Johnny Orr admitted that his team requires more work, par- ticularly in the area of the full- curt press. "We were not as well conditioned as I thought we'd be," commented Orr, "but the press did work well at the end of the first half and the start of the sec- ond." And the press was the factor that did detonate the varsity bomb teat blew the game open. After a sliggish opening fifteen minutes in which the outside shooting of Dennis Stewart and Rudy Tomjanovich had given the letternien a 10 point lead, the var- sity's pressure finally took its toll upon the inexperienced frosh. IA steal by Rodney Ford, another basket by Ford on a pass from Bob Sullivan and a Dan Fife bucket following a steal by Sullivan came in rapid succession to open up a 16 point margin with three min- utes remaining in the half. The frosh did manage to cut the .ficit to 10 once again at the half but the effects of the tough man to man pressure were ob- viously too much for them. An- other three basket outburst at the start of the second half, all com- ing on fast breaks, buried any hopes of a comeback that the new- comers might have had. The remainder of the game was just a matter of the varsity exert- ing their superiority and building up their lead to its final 27 point margin. Many of the points came in a final racehorse 10 minutes which saw the court populated with reserves. The magic 100 mark was finally reached with 1:20 left on a jumper by Tom Lundstedt. Despite the generally sloppy con- duct of the game, the varsity did manage to show flashes of its of- fense before the substitutes ar- rived. Tomjanovich banged in 26 points to top all scorers, showing that he still has his fine outside touch and also demonstrating * p daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: BILL DINNER some strong inside moves off the The Wisconsin senior was a major low post. instrument in keying the second The star forward's celebrated half outburst that decided the back injury was in evidence, though, as he only pulled in seven caroms off the boards and had few of the follow shots that he is known for. Rudy also worked well off the high post, setting several picks for Sullivan backdoor plays. Sullivan got part of his 10 points on these plays but contributed even more to the attack with his sharp pass- es and leading of the fast break. game. The senior Wolverines did hold a lead before their explosion, and much of it was forged by Dennis Stewart. The 6-6 forward pumped in 18 markers in the first stanza, most of them on long jumpers from the side and the top of the key. He finished the contest with on- ly 20 points, though, as he fouled out with almost 12 minutes of' playing time remaining. In addition to his scoring Stew- art also helped with his hustle on the press. However, his re- bounding left something to be desired as he only retrieved three bounds. In fact, it was a deficiency on Particularly adept at cashing in on the second shot was 6-7 John Linnen. The greatest asset that the fosh possessed was its backcourt pair of Lamont King and Dave Hart. The two speedy guards hit for 19 and 14 points respectively, showing a strong ability to drive the boards that helped the frosh , the foul lane. The pair weren't to stay in the contest. Orr ad- enough to stave off the varsity, mitted that, "we didn't check as though, as the fast pace of the well as we could have" and the I game finally took affect. r£uuI vla.t a h f Af hh f Teasyiwnh t besue was a ouncs of buckets gained on secon STIDWELL, COOKE EXCEL: women's SwIM club cops th apoplexy 0 doug helle In retrospect In retrospect, it seems a little grotesque that the Wolverines and their fans were actually hoping to go to the Rlose Bowl before Saturday. *t As it turned out, Michigan had about as much chance to beat Ohio State as it would have had against the Los Angeles Rams. Apparently, when you are about to take on the Buckeyes, you tter have at least as much material as they do because you will ver beat them on desire alone. That's because nobody but nobody gets up higher for a game than OSU.. And how could they avoid it? There's a fight song at Ohio State which says, "We don't give a damn about the whole State of Michigan, we're from O-hi-o." This sounds like evidence of a fantastic inferiority complex. And really it is, in everything except football. So if they don't give a damn about Michigan, the one thing they do give a damn about is football, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL. Columbus, Ohio, has the most enthusiastic football fans in the Midwest, in the country, in the world. Incidentally, that includes South Bend, Indiana, home of Ara and Co. And Columbus is much more than a football town. It is a football CITY. The 590,000 rabid football nuts who populate it makes it .the second biggest city in the state next to Cleveland, bigger than Cincinnati. In a football stadium that is somewhat smaller than Michigan's, the Buckeyes quite often outdraw the Wolverines. In spirit, of course, there is no comparison. Last .Saturday, for instance, football;was on everybody's mind all the time and the 85,000 who were lucky enough to get, tickets for the game were just a small part of it. But they made up for the 'eople who were not there by making enough noise for 590,000. At the end of the game the mass of screaming people who over- ran the field in order to tear down the goal posts were not hindered in any way by the police. Apparently, the cops were looking after their own safety. But all this was minor compared to the riot-celebration that descended on High Street (OSU's version of State Street plus a uple of dozen bars). Clearly, nothing like this would ever happen in Ann Arbor. It got to the point where you thought you would probably have felt sorry for Columbus if OSU had lost. Should that have hap- pened the whole city would probably have melted away into one big crying puddle. With all this going on around them, it's no wonder that the :am, like the fans, are a bunch of animals. And the biggest monsters e not ,quarterback Rex Kern and fullback Jim Otis, but people like offensive tackles Rufus Mayes and Dave Foley, and on defense John Tatum, appropriately playing the monster-man position. And leading the animals is the biggest of them all, Coach Woody Hayes. Hayes does not let a little thing like modesty get in his way. The team is always "my boys" as he says "my boys are a quality team". Hayes must have more enemies than anybody since Attila $ie Hun. ' The only thing good you can say about him is that he won.
