EAST LANSING - Frustration
was the name of the game for
Michigan's basketball team last
night.
' The Wolverines presented Tole-
do with a gift 45-38 first half lead
and were unable to recover as the
Rockets took it from there for an
89-76 victory.
A stellar performance by Lee
Lafayette led Michigan State to
an 86-70 victory in the second
f game of the doubleheader at
Jenison Field House. Lafayette led
the Spartans with 29 points and
six rebounds. It was MSU's game
all the way.
The Wolverines had a 38-37
lead with 1:35 left in the half
when close defensive play present-
ed Michigan with three consecutive
breakaways, but Michigan botched
them all and the Rockets con-
verted all three Into easy baskets
to take the lead for good.
Actually, the Wolverines repeat-
edly missed easy shots in the first
half and also committed 15 turn-
overs, but close defensive play
kept them in the game for most
of the half.
Michigan coach John Orr is not
about to take anything away from
Toledo, but he shudders at the
mention of "missed shots."
Still, the Rockets were able to
shoot 61 per cent in the first half
and 54 per cent for the game.
Wolverine assistant coach Fred
Snowden said, "Toledo had a much
better game than we had anti-
cipated. This is not the same team
that we scouted."
Orr added, "Rudy Tomjanovich
did a great job to stop their star
center (Steve Mix, who scored 12
points). But the rest of them were
able to get in for too many easy
shots. We had a lot of trouble with
John Rudley."
Only Ken Maxey, the Wolver-
ines' erstwhile invalid, was able to
put the clamps on Rudley and got
the Rockets' star in foul trouble.
Maxey,, who came' in midway
through the first half, drew the
praise of Orr.
The coach said, "His timing was
off and he threw the ball away
a lot, but he showed a lot of
hustle. You couldn't expect 'much
more from somebody who hasn't
played for two weeks."

At one point, the Wolverines
had Maxey, Tomjanovich, Bob

the game became extremely rough
and appeared to resemble foot-
ball.
Rocket coach Bob Nichols sum-
marized the game for his team
when he said, "We played hard as
a team. The defense was above
average and we got good pene-
tration for good shots."
Nichols also had high praise for

After the State tally, Michigan
took control of the puck again and
forced a face-off to the left of
the State net. The puck came
directly from the face-off to Slack
who put it in unassisted at 19:17
of the middle stanza.
1 "Their defense didn't go after
the puck," smiled Slack after the
game, "so I just pushed it toward
the net."
The game-winner was more of
a team effort, but the result was
still the same as Slack backhand-
ed the puck past the State goal
keeper with 'but 3:44 remaining
in the game.
Michigan seemed unable to move
themselves or the puck for the
first seven minutes of the open-
ing period as, State kept up con-
stant pressure on the Michigan
net. But All-American goalie Jim
Keough was fantastic in the first
stanza, knocking away shot after
shot.
At the seven-minute mark of
the first period, State had their
best scoring opportunity. W it h
Keough sprawled helpless on the
left side of the net the puck head-
ed straight for the right side off
the stick of Spartan Bill Enrico.
"It had me beat," said goalie
Keough, "but Phil Gross skated
back and took the puck just as it
headed for the net."
From that moment on it was
all Michigan. State became slow
and unable to move the puck.
Michigan kept constant pressure
on the State net for the rest of
the period, but was unable to
score. The Blue couldn't buy a
point as Brian Slack, Doug Gal-
braith and Barney Pashak all
missed open shots on goal.

cond period where they left offj
in the first but were still unable
to score. State was willing to give
the Wolverines every chance, al-
thought it was to no avail.
Both Galbraith and Dave Per-
rin managed two breakaways
against the State defense but had
no luck against the fine goal-
tending of State's Richard Duf-
fet.
Finally the Spartans rallied
around their defense and manag-
ed to tally at 15:05. Bill Watt put
a hard shot on Keough who was
unable to control the rebound.
The puck came directly to Ken
Anstey who put the puck into the
right side of the net over
Keough's shoulder.
Then Slack, who wasn't, began
his heroics.
The game was a story of a
Michigan team that got stronger
as the pame progressed and a
State team that didn't seem to go
anywhere. But Wolverine coach Al
Renfrew feels State is to be reck-
oned with. "This is a much bet-
ter team than they have had in
a few years. They're tough."
And tough is what they will be
as the two teams will travel to
East Lansing tonight and the
Spartans will attempt to gain
their revenge.
