Michigan Head Coach Johnny Baby Blue mow tudowi't Falcoi s By ELLIOT LEGOW Michigan's freshman basketball team chalked up its third straight victory of the season last night with a convincing 112-86 win over Bowling Green in a prelude to the varsity contest. The Baby Blue dominated the game with its speed and shooting ability after a slow start in which turnovers hampered both teams. With the score knotted at 27-27,4 after twelve and a half minutes of play, the Wolverines started a five minute string in which they out- scored the Falcons 12-4. Leon Roberts and John Lockard led the Wolverines in that span, Lockard clearing the boards and: hitting on inside shots and Rob- Lrts playing aggressive, defense and hitting on outside shots. Rob- crts connected on one long jumper of almost thirty feet. IN THE SECOND half, Bowling Green played less aggressively oil defense in an attempt to reduce their fouling. Michigan took full' advantage of this change as they threated their way down the court with successful fast breaks and reeled off 13 consecutive points to grab a 64-45 lead. After Michigan pulled to a 23 >oint lead, 72-49, the Falcons re- verted to a tight defense. As a re- sult Bowling Green again started fouling. The Wolverines who only cashed in on 13 of 28 free throw attempts in the first half, con- verted nine of their first eleven charity tosses in the second half. With five minutes remaining and the Wolverines leading 106-75, Coach George Pomey pulled his last starters. All thirteen Michigan players saw action and ten on them scored. Johnson led with 28 points, followed by guard Henry Wilmore who added 21. John Lock- and and Leon Roberts, Michigan's two forwards, chipped in with 16 and 13 respectively.

"They made, us play their game," said Mar- quette mentor Al McGuire. And that about sums the Wolverines hard- fought 86-78 victory over the Warriors last night. Michigan held onto the lead throughout the second half, taking away Marquette's deliber- ate game and forcing them into 19 turnovers. Michigan coach Johnny Orr did a commend- able job of coaching and competed with the vola- tile Marquette mentor, Al McGuire for showman honors. The coaches roamed the court as if they were back in their playing days, and the fans loved it. The fans divided their time between cheering on the maize and blue and booing the refs. Al- though both coaches said afterwards that they had no special gripes with the officials, they cer- tainly didn't show it on the court. AFTER THE GAME, Orr explained that "Mc- Guire has a habit of intimidating the refs and I didn't want him to do that. He does that a lot." McGuire paid a return trip to midcourt after Cobb fouled out late in the game, and the fans gave him a thorough booing. The fans were not so much after McGuire as they were reserve forward Hugh McMahon. Mc- Mahon played much of the game after Gary Brell fouled out late in the first half and guarded Rudy extremely tightly, and Wolverine rooters thought it was too tight. One fan remarked that McMahon should have been arrested for molest- ing. McGuire is notorious for trying to put a psyche on his opponents, but his attempts were futile. The Warriors played a man-to-man defense un- til there were nine minutes left in the first half. Then they switched into a 1-3-1 zone. The temporarily baffled Wolverines called time out to adjust to the change, and when play re- sumed, Marquette reverted to the man-to-man. They switched to a 1-2-2 a minute later, but quickly went back to the man to -man and stayed with it the rest of the game. Rudy was not phased by McMahon's efforts, as he poured in a game-high 32 points, 22 of them in the first half. Orr was generous in his praise of the senior forward, especially his passing. BUT ORR reserved his greatest praise for the whole team. "That was quite a game," he com- mented. "It was a big win for us this early in the year, especially coming on only one day off after those two tough losses (to Notre Dame and Davidson). This is a great little team, "We didn't run as much as we would have liked, and they made some great plays to slow our break. This is not a big team, but they play to- gether well. We're even surprising ourselves." McGuire was subdued after the game, a con- trast to his earlier mood. He praised both the varsity and freshman teams. "They're a g o o d team," he said, "and they should win the Big Ten title. They look to be a real power in the future." The thought is a pleasant one. second half," commented Orr. "He gin to 51-41 at the start of the came up to Coach Snowden and second half, but Jeff Sewell and me during half time and said 'I Hugh McMahon put on fine in- can stop him.'
