However, he joined; his teammates only a few seconds after and came within three points of breaking John Tid- well's team record for a Big Ten game. Strack explained the delay la- ter. "Our team physicians were working on a knotted muscle in! his back through the entire half- time. Cazzie has been bothered; lately by muscle spasms in his, back, but the doctors are assur- ed that it is neither permanent or serious." Michigan's only other injury- plagued player, John Thompson, has recovered from his sprained ankle, but now he must win back his starting job from junior Den- nis Bankey. Bankey has been an integral! part of the lineup since the holi- days, and Strack is hesitant about breaking up the winning combi- nation. Thompson alternated at guard with Bankey against the Gophers and will probably be do- ing the same this weekend at Wis- consin. Why Switch? Strack has also been wary of changing the game strategy per se, without a special reason. He indicated that he had intended to switch to the zone press mid- way through the second half Sat- urday with Michigan holding a 12-point bulge, but then changed his mind. The Wolverines have been em- ploying the press on a limited basis, trying to catch their op- ponents off guard. "It's really only a small part of our defensive game. Our basic defense is still man-to-man," offered the Michi- gan coach. MSU Still Pressing Michigan holds a slight half- game edge over across-state rival Michigan State in the Big Ten race after the Spartans trounced Purdue last night. "MSU has been very impressive in its triumphs. The players have been giving an all-out effort every game, instead of the up-and-down performances of last year," praised Strack. "Stan Washington has especial- ly realized his potential this year. and a couple of the sophomores have come through for John Ben- ington." Commenting further on the race for the conference title, Strack said, "Minnesota will have a very fine team once Hudson returns to gull strength, and Il- linois and Iowa have looked tough. "I'm, of course, happy with our chances, since we have won two important games away from home plus two at Yost." Stormy Travels Lack of success on the road has haunted many of the conference quintets in the '66 campaign. In 20 Big Ten games this season, only five have been won by visit- ing teams. Third-place Illinois holds two road wins and Michigan State holds the other. "I'm really not worrying about what the other teams are doing, however," interjected Strack. "I'n, more concerned about us, and right now the 'crucial' game is this week against Wisconsin." 417 E.

(P) - A ref- eree and a- St. Louis Hawks' offi- cial. rivaled the court action with a sideline battle last night as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Hawks 110-107 on a disputed call. Referee Earl Strom, irked by a crack made by St. Louis business manager Irv Gack, charged over the officials' table as the final buzzer sounded and grabbed Gack. Wilt Chamberlain of the 76ers grabbed Strom and quickly put an end to the fracas before any ser- ious blows were landed. What would have been the win- ning basket with six seconds left by Hawk Player-Coach Richie Guerin was nullified on a palming call by Strom. Guerin stole the ball from 76er Billy Cunningham near midcourt, took two dribbles and made the layup, but the shot was ruled no good. Cunningham made a quick layup with only one second left for the final margin. Strom said when he made the palming call, Gack "picked up a chair and banged it on the floor and cussed like a mad man. I shouldn't have grabbed him." I insulated construction UflIVERSITY IOW(RS " Now renting for Aug. '65 S. UNIVERSITY AVE. & FOREST AVE. PHONE: 761-2680 L3 Writes on Anything!
