They waited for their shots and when they had them, hit. Unfortunately they waited too long because the Wolverines took 65 shots as com- pared to Tennessee's 45. This was the crucial statistical difference. Given 20 extra scoring opportunities, the Wolverines con- nected on eight more field goals, though out shot percentage-wise, 51-46. Tennessee was the nation's top defensive team last year and Ray Mears' o u t f i t was successful from this standpoint also. Not since Cazzie Russell was a green sophomore had Michigan been held to as low as 71 points in a basketball game.. Repeatedly the Wolverines were forced to take a 20 foot shot, when a cripple would have been much more pleasing to Mr. Strack and friends. The Wolverines were unable to work the ball in for the better part of the game, due to the aggressive nature of the Ten- nessee defense. Speaking of aggression, Mears, hailed as the outstanding coach in the Southeastern Conference, sported a little of his own after the game was over. Questioned about Tennessee's numerous ball handling errors (traveling and palming the ball), Mears snorted, "We don't make those kind of mistakes and we didn't tonight either. My ball club is trained not to make mechanical mistakes and we don't." Unless he wasn't watching the game, Mears' paradoxical remark would have to be taken as some sort innuendo regarding the offi- ciating. Strack of the Blue, of course, was pleased with the outcome. "I thought we played real well. I just wish the games weren't this rough this early." Surprisingly enough, one fellow who wasn't satisfied was Russell, who commented after putting through 29 points, "I've still got more work to do. My passing isn't quite as sharp as I'd like it to be. One of the toughest problems a ball player faces is knowing when to pass and when to shoot. And you don't have much time to think about it." Among the interesting side- lights of the contest was the referee, who, when John Thomp- son held out his hand for the ball, kept the ball and shook Thomp- son's hand.

SEE EUROPE THE SSTS WAY By JACK HARTMAN j Bowling Green News Sports Editorf It's not so much how well Bowl- ing Green will play against Michi- gan Saturday night but how they fare in the Mid-American Con- ference opener against Toledo Jan. 5. "We could lose our first seven games and still play good ball," says head coach Warren Scholler, in his third season at the helm. He is referring to early season games with nationally-ranked teams like St. Joseph's, Oklahoma City and Michigan as well as Michigan State, Syracuse, Notre Dame and Ball State. "But," Scholler says, "when that first Mid-American Confer- ence game rolls around, we'll be ready." Why the lack of early season expectations? The inexperience and thus the unpredictable nature of the club are the best answers. Three Sophs Three sophomores have already worked their way into the start- ing lineup and several more are pushing for starting berths. The three who have become virtual mainstays at a young age are 6-8 forward Walt Piatkowski, 6-9 center Al Dixon and 6-0 guard Rich Hendrix. Joining them in the top five are 6-2 senior guard Nick Aloi and 6-4 junior forward Sam Mims. Before he graduates, Piatkow- ski could become the most pro- lific scorer in BG history. An all- stater in high school, Piatkowski averaged 21.7 points a game and 10.1 rebounds for last year's fresh- man team. He hit 49 per cent of his shots. Many of them were his speciality, long loping jumpers. Big Al Though he has played only three years of organized ball-two years in high school and one year as a freshman-"Big" Al Dixon is al- readyteing compared to the Fal- cons former great big man Nate Thurmond, who is now with pro basketball's San Francisco War- riors. "He's coming along. Day by day you can see the improvement," says coach Scholler about Dixon. "Probably the most important thing for him now is game ex- perience." Dixonpulled down 19 rebounds and scored seven points in the annual freshman-varsity game Monday night. As a freshman last year, he poured in 9.7 points a game and cleared the boards at a 9.6 clip. A steady, aggressive, leader- type guard is Hendrix forte. Hen-, drix banged in 19.1 points a game as a freshman and maintained a 48 per cent shooting accuracy. That Boy Aloi Paired with Hendrix at guard is cocaptain Aloi. After reaching a low ebb last season when he temporarily quit the team ap- parently disappointed with his. court performances, the -sharp shooter from Midland, Pa., has bounced back impressively. With a strong second half of the season, Aloi boosted his scor- ing average to 14.4, including a 33 point effort against Western Michigan. Now Aloi appears to be emerg- ing as a team leader, something he has not been in the past. Smooth, cat-like Mims, a native of Highland Park, Mich., had trouble adjusting to the demands of big-time college ball last sea- son, but caught fire near the end of the season when he scored 24 points and grabbed 24 rebounds in the game against Marshall. He averaged 10 rebounds a game last season and scored at an 8.8 clip. Shoe Filler Waiting in the wings may be the greatest player of the lot. He's 6-3 Cliff Williams, who was once billed to fill Howard Komives' shoes. That was the 1963-64 sea- son when Williams was a fresh- man and Komives a senior. Wil- liams averaged 23.1 points a game for the frosh. But Williams hasn't had a chance-yet. He tore the muscles. in his Achilles tendon in pre- season practice last year and con- sequently saw no service. Two operations later he is back to half speed and has been practic- ing regularly. He still has three years of eligi- bility left. A Williams at full strength would make a big dif- ference for the Falcons. 6-4 Carl Assemheimer and 6-2 Bob Hodak, both sophomores, are DINE OUT THIS WEEKEND RESTAURANT Serving finest food in a pleasant atmosphere SPECIAL LUNCHEON FEATURED DAILY ...95c Foremost for excellent coffee No Respect for Elders The sophomores have pushed two veterans to substitute roles. 6-5 senior cocaptain Bob Van Poppel, who was injured most of last season, will be the swing man a tight end, has an accurate jump shot and is rugged under the boards. Hodak, who spent three years in the service, is a steady, collected ball player with good ability. - ----- - - pushing to get into the starting .lineup. 7 A.M.-8 P.M.
