WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9,1966
Blue F(
By RICK STERN
Michigan's Wolverines relaxed
yesterday for the first time since
before the season began and the
last time until it ends.
The cagers shot free throws and
jump shots for half an hour after
hearing Tom Jorgensen and Jim
Skala give a combined scouting
report on tough Western Ken-
tucky. Coach Dave Strack sent
them home at five o'clock, an hour
earlier than usual.
Yesterday was the day for the
coaches to work and worry. They
worried over numerous decisions
of strategy based on information
gathered by Skala and Jorgensen,
' who were in Kent, Ohio, at the
Loyola-Western Kentucky game.
They worked on just about every-
thing under .the Athletic Building
roof-from defenses to ticket dis-
tribution. Most important, they
mapped the :plan, of action for
Friday; night's battle.
Only Players
But coaches aren't allowed to
play. Today the players begin the
big push. They will work for
nearly three hours - running,
scrimmaging, shooting - on edge,
alert, trying to get ready for a
team most of them hadn't. even
heard of till a couple of weeks
ago. Tomorrow they leave for Iowa
City.
Earlier yesterday Strack took
time out to sit back at his desk
and talk over the Big Ten season.
"The opener at Columbus (won
y by, Michigan 83-78) was a key
game. We'd lost four in the pre-
season competition but we had
been pointing toward the Big Ten
and we had to show right off the
bat that we could do a job .. .

"I felt we really matured at
Columbus and then the next week
at Northwestern, where we had to
come from way behind. North-
western had a tough team and
Fred Taylor really had Ohio State
up for us .. .
"I'd have to agree that the Big
Ten may have been better overall
The telephone rang and when
Strack returned, the Michigan
State game was the topic of con-
versation.
"I don't think that our loss to
State will have any effect on the
way we play Friday. This is the
third time in a row that we've lost
the last game of the Big Ten
season after clinching the cham-
pionship. Two years ago we played
our best game of the season to
beat Loyola after losing to Purdue.
Last year we beat Dayton . . .
"We didn't play too badly but
we sure could have done better.
We were careless and I just hope

"In the second half we had a
chance to get back into the game
but we couldn't get a basket for!
two minutes. We just weren'tJ
shooting well at all .. .
"I was quite pleased with John{
Thompson's play. I thought he
handled the ball well and played'
his best game to date. Hopefully
he's completely over his ankle
injury .."
Daily
Up in East Lansing a smiling'
and unusually loquacious John
Bennington toothed out a few
comments for the Daily. "I con-
sidered Jim Myers the key to the
game. He's the one who runs their
offense. If they can't get the ball
to him they're stopped. I put Bill
Curtis on him and he did the
job ...
"Russell?-I don't care if he got
58 as long aswehwon. Sureghe
scores a lot but the other guys
aren't even shooting enough to get
on their game."~
.The Wolverines did manage to
set one record in losing to State.
They concluded the Big Ten cam-
paign with a scoring average of
94.9 points per game, an even two
MNCAA
points higher than the record
which they set last year.
Miss Record
Unfortunately, they missed out
on establishing a Big Ten record
for highest team shooting per-
centage. They needed to hit ata
.498 clip to beat Ohio State's old
season mark set in 1960, but shot
only .388 misisng the record by
.09.
General admission tickets are
still on sale for both regional
games at $4.00 for a set of two.
Reserved seats were sold out yes-

last season--there weren't as many
great sophomores this year to re-
place standouts like Bill Buntin
and the Van Arsdale twins ..
Bad Teams Better
"But in a way the league was
tougher this year because the
second division teams were strong-
er. Teams at the bottom knocked
off contenders time and again and
when you're in first you've got to
be pleased as long as it doesn't
happen to you ..:.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (P)-
It's unusual for a college president
to address an assemblage of stu-
dents while standing in his bath-
robe. But that's what Kelly
Thompson, president of Western
Kentucky State College, did Mon-
M1 day night.
He responded to the chants of
several hundred students who
marched, to his home after un-
ranked Western's 105-86 basket-
ball victory over No. 4 Chicago
Loyola in the NCAA Mid-east
regionals at Kent, Ohio.
Cassius Thompson
"We are the greatest," Thomp-
son said. "We have a big job to
do, but we can do it."
Then Thompson excused the
school's women students from
their dormitory curfew so they
could ' be among well wishers
greeting the Hilltoppers on their
arrival at City-County Airport.
So many students and towns-
people gathered at the small air-
port-state police estimated 5,000,
with 1,500 cars-that the team's
plane couldn't taxi in to the ter--
minal.
SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR:
RICK STERN
After three tries, it taxied to
the end of the runway and radioed
for help. Police escorted the team
bus to the aircraft, but when it
drove back to the terminal even
it couldn't make its way through
the throng.
Students were on top, in front
of; behind, on either side of the
bus. All the time they chanted,
"We're number one." Or "We want
Michigan." Or "We want Ken-
tucky."
Meet Michigan
The Hilltoppers play Big Ten
champion Michigan Friday in the
Mideast, semifinals at Iowa City,
Iowa, the winner to, play the
winner of Friday's game between
No. 1-ranked Kentucky and Day-
ton on Saturday night.
The crowd finally allowed the
team to get through after a plea
from Ed Diddle, who coached at
Western for 42 years and who
still travels with the team. Diddle
dispersed the crowd with, "We're
going to have one helluva chapel
Wednesday."
