THE MICHIGAN DAILY St Sku ghtered, t OSU Sets Record; Lee Tops Scorers By FRED KATZ Special to The Daily day COLUMBUS - A miserably cold-shooting and defensively- rhat inadequate Michigan basketball team suffered its worst defeat of the 1 of season last night at the Ohio State St. John Arena, 106-83. and It was a tremendous reversal of the year's earlier meeting between etic the two Big Ten rivals. Michigan won that game, 78-74. OSU Takes Lead ni a 'The Buckeyes practically blasted their guests off the court in de- the first three and one half minutes when they took a 14-1 lead, gan and then coasted the rest of the way with incredible ease. The wining point total was the most ever scored by a Michigan "etsopponent (erasing the mark of 103 set by Michigan State two weeks the ago). tics It also tied OSU's all-time one game high. By losing, Michigan rof missed an important opportunity to come closer to its own goal of ion. second place in the Conference.t 106-83; Michigan Swamps Four Cinder Teams; Cephas Ties Record in Low Hurdles (Continued from Page 1) ni~~4l fn pv odoetm M c~an Stanger. The low sticks mark be- fore last night was shared by Al Thomas -(1941), Don Hoover (1951), Van Bruner (1952-3) and Tom Hendricks (1955-6). Cephas also won the high jump (6'4") and ran a trong third in the short sprint. Landstrom started at 14' in the pole vault due to his high fever and Canham feared he wouldn't be successful at that height. He made it on his first try. Mamon Gibson, jumping his best indoor height, tied NCAA co- titlist Jim Johnston of Purdue for second at 14'4". Martin, continuing his fine de- volopment in the distances, ran the fastest mile at Michigan since DICK CEPHAS . . sets record Now 6-6, the Wolverines dropped from third to sixth place. They meet second-place Illinois tomorrow evening at 8 at Yost Fieldhouse in their next to last contest of the season. Michigan closes out its Conference schedule Saturday at home against Minne- sota. Using their array of speed and 6'5"-plus forward and centers to full advantage, Ohio State con- tinually outmanned the Wolver- ines to score a huge number of layups. And when the Buckeyes were forced to hook the ball in, their front liner Joe Roberts (6'5"), Dick Furry (6'6"), and Larry Huston (67") appeared to score almost at will. Couldn't Shoot Michigan on the other hand, had difficulty much of the first half even getting shots away, many attempts being batted down by the lanky OSU trio. The Wolverines' M. C. Burton experienced a dismal first 20 min- utes, missing all of his 10 field goal attempts. He connected on four for four in the second half, and, combined with his 10 free throws, maintained a slim lead in the Conference scoring race over Minnesota's Ron Johnson. The senior co-captain needs .29 points in his last two college games to break Ron Kramer's individual mark for one season of 450 points. OSU Hits 50 Per Cent Ohio State scorched the net for a smouldering 50 per cent con- necting on 46 of 96 field goal tries. Although the Wolverines made a decent percentage-37-their first half average of 25 per cent put them too far out of contention to ever be even a mild threat. The Buckeyes started the fracas with seven points in a hurry-up order before a Burton free throw broke the string. Then OSU added another seven and Michigan found itself with an impossible deficit. tee Hits 29 George Lee, who led all scorers with 29, pumped in the first Maize and Blue field goal with 15:52 left in the half, but in less than a min- ute,, the Buckeyes stretched the lead to 2 1-5.
