of the remainder of the game, in-
cluding all of the second half.
"We weren't reacting in the
zone today," commented Orr, "so
we switched to the man to man."
We decided to try to force the
game more and put more pressure
on their guards."
The move worked out well as the
Badgers had trouble getting the
ball to Johnson in the second half
as Mark Henry and Ken Maxey
continually harassed the Wiscon-
sin backcourt. The two also com-
bined for 17 second half points,
many coming on plays that their
pressure defense started.
"Maxey got hot in the second
half and helped us and Henry just
did a real fine job," were Orr' s
thoughts on the guards' perform-
ances. Their second half play,
along with Stewart's 21 and Tom-
j anovich's 19 points enabled the
Wolverines to hold a safe lead to
the finish.
The win gives Michigan a 7-5
record in the Big Ten with just
two games to go. Second place is
a possibility but th e Wolverines
must beat Purdue and Ohio State
on the road to gain such a lofty
position.

Wisconsin called for time but
could not slow down the Wolverine
onslaught. Stewart came right
back after the time out to hit on
another jumper and Tomjanovich
followed with two of his specialty
bank shots. Stewart then finished,
the bombing by leaping to grab a
rebound with one hand, which he
followed by dribbling behind his

That the game was not a par-
ticularly excellent contest was evi-
denced by the fact that t w o of
Michigan's main weapons, the fast
break and the zone, were not very
effective.}
The Wolverines weren't able to1
use their rebounding advantage to
roll to easy scores as the lanes just
were not being filled. Part of the
trouble could probably be traced to
Bob Sullivan's bad ankle. The 6-4
forward from Manitowoc, Wiscon-
sin who usually is In the middle
of the break was noticeably slow-
ed by his injury and could only
net four points.

in the Wolverine victory. Michigan played an uneven game in their home finals, but maintained
enough consistency to defeat the visiting Badgers by the score of 84 to 79.

State, cheered on by a wildly par-
tisan c r o w d of 2250, yesterday
dominated the Big Ten wrestling
championships as no other team
has ever done, and ran off with its
f o u r t h consecutive conference
championship.
The Spartans, with 93 t o t a 1
points and six- individual cham-
pions, bettered the record of 92
and five set by its NCAA champ-
ionship team of 1967.
Iowa, even though it had no in-
diidual champion, finished a dis-
tant second with 50 points, while
Michigan and Northwestern tied
for third with 44,
Jeff Smith and Keith Lowrance
led the Spartan domination of the
finals by quickly pinning their op-
ponents. Smith won his nineteenth
straight at heavyweight by crad-

Hudson's bout was easily t h e
most exciting of the afternoon, as
he and Mike Ellis locked up in one
of the strangest ever seen in the
tournament. All the points. of the;
bout except two, a predicament
scored by Ellis in the second per-

Going into the third period, El-I

pulled a switch on his opponent to
score six valuable points. Ellis

margin of victory was provided by

Hudson's wrestling in the third
period was termed "very courag-
eous" by head coach Cliff Keen in
view of the fact that he wrestled
the entire third period with torn
cartilege in his chest.

Wolverine to join Hudson in the
winners' circle, as he scored his
