FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1966 TIIE MICBIGAI\T DAILY PAGE SEVEN FRIDAY, JANUARY 7,1966 TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY a sau aj L 7 ul" F 1 By LLOYD GRAFF The Missouri Valley, famous for nothing but an occasional flood, possessing Peoria, and most sig-, nificantly slam-bang basketball teams, is now becoming a farm system for Big Ten coaches. Last year Ralph Miller left Wichita, and its marvelous nat- ural resource, Dave Stallworth, for Iowa. With "pressure basketball" and good old roundball fire and brimstone he transformed letharg- ic mediocrity into ferocious me- diocrity. The ferocity netted a vic- tory over UCLA and a modicum of respect from the other mem- bers of the conference. This year the Hawkeyes are equally tenacious, but possess more seasoned talent. An 8-1' record and seventh rating make them favorites for the coming confer- ence season. Then Forddy Anderson of Mich- igan State got canned for making a bad team miserable. John Ben- nington of St. Louis bopped out of Gaslight Squaresville for East Lansing and inherited an excel- lent freshman team from Ander- son plus Stan Washington who might have been the first 26-foot en- high jumper if mind to it. Forecast: Iowa Favori te' SPORTS SHORTS: Wings Stop Bruins, Pistons Lose Again he'd have put his And suddenly Michigan State became a winner. The Spartans have collected seven victories in 10 attempts, however they've topped nobody of national stature. With this rather backhanded introduction of Big Ten basket- ball, 1966, let's go through a brief outline of each team's chances. Thug * Iowa-The Hawkeyes are ex- perienced and aggressive. Forward Gerry Jones and guard Chris Per- vall should be worth 40 points per game and springy center George Peeples is a thug under the boards. Best hope of beating them is keep- ing Peeples away from the boards or fouling him out, because the rest of the team lacks size. * Michigan State-Bill Curtis and Stan Washington defy grav- ity if not opponents. Sophomore center Matt Aitch is ponderous but possesses a dandy touch from 15 feet. Bob Bailey runs the team smartly at guard with more sa- voir faire than most sophs. The Spartans are mean off the boards, By The Associated Press DETROIT-Ron Murphy's sec- ond goal of the night capped a three-goal surge in the third per- iod and carried the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-3 victory over the Boston Bruins in the only Na- tional Hockey League game played last night. The triumph, Detroit's eighth over the Bruins in as many games this season, lifted the Red Wings to within two points of second place Montreal. Hank Bassen subbed for regular Detroit goaltender Roger Crozier, sidelined by intestinal flu. Parker MacDonald and Bruce MacGregor scored earlier in the third period for the Red Wings. Murphy notched his first goal of the night in the first period and Floyd Smith got the Red Wings' only marker in the second period. TOLEDO, Ohio--The Cincinnati Royals cut loose in the final per- iod last night and defeated the Detroit Pistons 109-97 to move within one-half game of the Bos- ton Celtics in the National Basket- ball Association. The victory was the fourth in a row and eighth in nine games for the Royals. while the Pistons went down to their fourth straight defeat and 12th in 13 contests. Harold Hairston and Oscar Robertson with 13 and 11 points respectively, paced the final Royals' surge after the Pistons had gone ahead 83-82 with eight minutes remaining. A .three-pointer by Robertson and two baskets by Jerry Lucas put the Royals in front for keeps. Hairston then hit on five of his next six shots to put the game out of reach. but vulnerable to shooting. hot outside ARCHIE CLARK DON FREEMAN STAN WASHINGTON DAVE SCHELLHASE T ankers Prepared; " Badgers First Foe By JIM LaSOVAGE Michigan tankers open their 1966 season this weekend with two meets that will show just what they'll be up against in trying for their first Big Ten championship since 1960. The Wolverines face Wisconsin today in a dual meet and will par- ticipate in the Big Ten Relays tomorrow. Last year the tankers began by disposing of the Badgers 71-34, but the Badgers have im- proved. Led by breaststroker Bud Blanchard, Wisconsin has won its first dual meet against Nebraska by a 75-20 margin. But on paper, Michigan looks to be as good as last spring when it came in second to Indiana in the Big Ten meet by only the margin held by the Hoosiers in RICH WALLS diving events. A strong core of juniors and seniors threaten to produce the most powerful Wol- verine squad ever. Only Ed Bartsch, Lanny Reppert and diver 4 Ed Boothman will be missing from last year's team. Records Shattered As an example of the potential of these swimmers, only three varsity records remained unbroken at the season's end last spring-all broken by returning lettermen. Captain Rich Walls, Bill Farley, Bob Hoag and Rees Orland make up the senior portion of the team. The top juniors include Carl Robie, Bill Groft, Russ Kingery, Paul Scheerer, Tom O'Malley, John Vry and Tom Williams. Seven of these swimmers claim Big Ten records. This will be the first test for Michigan's sophomores. Ken Wie- beck is the most prominent name among, them. A high school All- America, Wiebeck specializes in the backstroke and finished fifth in last year's NAAU 200-yard event as a freshman. Challenge Saturday's meet will be a much larger challenge to the natators. The meet, which originated at Michigan 11 years ago, consists of 10 swimming relays and a diving relay. Last year, at their home pool, the Wolverines took eight of the 11 events, outscoring power- ful Indiana 104-76. Michigan WELCOME BAC K STUDENTS! -5 Barbers to serve you- at State, no walkover, totaled 57.5 points. Besides some of the regular re- lays, there are 300-yard variations of the backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and individual medley races. There are also 200- and 2000-yard freestyle relays. Indiana Still Tough Indiana won't be easy to beat again. Coach Jim Counsilman feels that this could be the best team he has ever coached. Besides a strong team of returning.letter- men, the Hoosiers boast Kevin Berry, winner of the 200-yard butterfly in the 1964 Tokyo Olym- pics, on the sophomore squad. Indiana's divers, headed by junior Ken Sitzberger, are unparalleled in the nation. Michigan State offers Gary Dil- ley, a champion backstroker, along with a powerful group of free- stylers which includes Ken Walsh and distance swimmer Ed Glick. The best of the Big Ten will be present at the meet. The winner will take a significant step . to wards a Big Ten title. * Minnesota - Without Lou Hudson the Gophers are just an- other team. Archie Clark will av- erage over 25 points per game,, but he's no one man team. Tom Kondla is clumsy in the pivot and forwards Paul Presthus and Den-; nis Devoracek will never even be scouted by the pros. When Hud- son returns, look out. Until then they will be lucky to break even. Bucks Tough at Home " Ohio State-Bob Dove and Bill Hosket provide muscle and touch near the bucket. Ron Sepic is no Nijinsky but he manages in the backcourt. At St. John Arena they are fearsome, but on the road the Bucks inspire little awe. * Northwestern - In the his- tory of coaching few men have botched the job like Larry Glass did last year. He managed to de- moralize a team with fabulous natural ability. The Wildcats seem to be improved this season so per- haps Glass is learning. Jim Pitts may be the best defensive center in college basketball but his man- gled knees are unreliable. Ron Kozlicki is adequate at forward and Jim Burns rates with Archie3 Clark and Cazzie as the best out- side shooter in the conference. Northwestern should break even if Pitts can survive his last basket- ball season. Hoosiers Scurry " Indiana - The Hoosiers are green:but have the : advantage of not being coached by Branch Mc- II Il Big Ten Standings Cracken. McCracken's teams won in spite of his teachings. He re- garded defensive play like Gen- eral Hershey regards pacifists. Harry Joyner can score at for- ward and Vernon Payne scurries slightly slower than the speed of 11 ALL GAMES W L Iowa 8 Michigan State 7 Minnesota 7 MICHIGAN 6 Ohio State 5 Northwestern 5 Indiana 4 'Wisconsin 4 *Illinois 3 Purdue 3 *Illinois defeated Wisconsin Big Ten competition 1 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 6 6 in than shooter, but he rebounds re- markably for 6'3". Mark Zubor has never excelled at center, and there is little reason to expect a re- versal of form. Ken Gustafson is adequate at guard but has ball- handling deficiencies. Don't lose sleep over the Badgers. Runty Weasel 9 Illinois-If two scorers made a team the Illini might reach .500. Runty Don Freeman is worth his weight in points and rebounds. It's a joy to observe him weasel- ing around the basket, humbling the husky opposition. Rich Jones has averaged 22 points per game and will probably be the highest scoring center in the conference. He's. no Bill Buntin (not even a Bill Burwell) off the boards, how- ever. A nonentity named Don Flessner plays forward, and he may be the worst starter in the Big Ten. If the Illini played Pur- due and Wisconsin all season they would havea respectable record. * Purdue - The Boilermakers boast of Dave Schellhase, the most overrated player in the conference. He may average 32 a game but he folds before intimidating de- fense like Oliver Darden and Bill Buntin provided last year. The rest of the team wouldn't scare one of Indiana's better high school outfits. Only sophomore guard For RESULTS Read and Use Daily Classifieds Dennis Brady merits mention.
