The Gold and Black raced igan's cagers bumped into another roadblock in their quest for first division status last night in the streaking form of the Purdue Boilermakers, 96-87. The loss was the third straight for Dave Strack and his defend- ing Big Ten champions, following a home victory two weeks ago against the same Purdue squad. The loss dropped the Wolverines to a 2-7 mark in the conference. "We played better and a lot harder than against Ohio State last weekend," moaned Strack after the game. "But we couldn't quite crack their defense when the opportunity presented itself." The Boilermakers, led by guards Bill Keller and Henry Ebershoff, outran the Wolverines from the opening tip-off, taking advantage of numerous fast breaks to squelch Strack's hopes to control the pace of the game. "Their guards were outstanding, complementing each other perfect- ly," Strack observed. Dennis Stewart inauguarted the action by plopping a 15-foot jumper with only five seconds gone. But Ted Reasoner, Boiler- maker center,, popped two points MICHIGAN to a 14-point lead with ten min- utes to go in the half, as Herm Gilliam stole a pass and went the length of the court to dunk the ball. Purdue led 46-40 at the half. "But we should have been ahead by 13," grimmaced Boilermaker coach George King. "Just like we should have won against Michigan the last time we played them, be- cause they played much better here tonight then before." The second half began as if the Wolverines were going to give King a repeat performance. Den- nis Bankey canned a jumper and Craig Dill scored a tip-in bringing the mark to 46-44. Seconds later a Pitts rebound and the finishing of a three- poit play by Bankey drew the Wol- verines even at 50-50 with 17:16 left in the game. The Boilermakers' Roger Blay- lock then single-handedly stalled the rally by hitting two buckets in a row. Purdue kept the edge until the period was half over. Sophomore forward Bob Sulli- van tied it up at that point, leav- ing the score knotted at 71-71 with 10:07 left. From there the Boilermakers reeled off six points in a row. Guard Bill Keller capped the up- rising with a reverse layup to run the margin to 77-71, and a few moments later it was back up to. 12 at 87-75. Desperation Wolverine comback attempts were futile. Several times in the last five minutes of the game Michigan cut the lead to eight, but jump shots by Dave McClellan, Maxey and Stewart went awry at bad times and with 1:30 to go, the verdict was clear. McClellan, playing the finest game of his short career hit on M' Tankers Drub Minn. By GRETCHEN TWIETMEYER Carl Robie, a knowlegeable swimming announcer, and faulty wiring made Michigan's last dual meet of the season against Min- nesota more than the 79-44 splash party it seemed. Robie finished his last dual meet season at Michigan by break- ing the national 1000 yard free- style record set by UCLA's Mike Burton last week. The progress towards his 9:56.1 time was closely followed by announcer Paul Clif- ford, former Ann Arbor High swimming coach. At a quarter of the way through, Clifford reported that Robie was beating his own best time by four seconds and after 400 yards, he still had the same lead on himself. By the 36th lap (there are 40 in the event), the Michigan swim- mers started waving towels and chanting "Go" to the rhythm of his strokes. Two laps short of the finish the thin crowd echoed the excitement, making the din of aF full house. l watched as the Michigan sopho- more pulled out in front to win. Clifford actually saved specta- tors from ennui when the meet was held up because of wiring difficulties before the 50 yard free- style. He intoned, "You see, a swimmer touching plate in lane 2 stops the clock in lane 5.". Thej electric plates didn't make much difference in the 50, though, as Tom O'Malley clearly edged out Tom Lawton. The biggest disappointment of the meet was Russ Kingery, if only to himself, mainly because he didn't set a pool record in the 200 yard backstroke. His time was two hundredths off Gary Dilley's time, and the backstroker kicked the starting block in frustration as he pulled himself out of the pool. Afterwards he cooled down and shrugged, "I've been sick all week and shouldn't have expected to come as close as I did. I guess I'm in good condition." 400-YD. MEDLEY RELAY - 1.

CARL ROBIE The time was even more phe- nomenal considering that Robie had no competition except the clock. But he was psyched up for this race, because, as he pointed out, "I've never held a national record and this was my last crack at it." From that event, however, Clif- ford stole the show, explaining the difficulties of each race and pre- 'M' FORWARD DAVE MCCLELLAN (42) snaps off one of his team-leading 10 rebounds in last Saturday's loss to OSU.

The 6'4" sophomore from Toledo kept the Wolverines close almost single-handedly in the first half scoring 11 points in. the first 12 minutes of play, hit- ting on five of his first six shots. Sullivan also turned in a fine effort, coming off the bench to hit 7 of 10 shots and 16 points. Bankey, though netting just nine points took just six shots to do it, and played his usual hustling floor game, stealing passes and passing off to his teammates like they were going out of style. He also fouled out for the third straight game. Late in the game, it appeared that Sullivan and McClellan might combine their hot outside hands to fire home a victory. But Strack benched Sullivan inexplicably with four minutes showing on the clock though the Manitowoc sophomore had made four shots in a row. And McClellan took only two shots in the last ten minutes of play, after hitting seven of his first ten. The game was the 12th out of 19 in which Michigan allowed its opponents more points in the sec- ond half than in the first, in- dicative of late game defensive problems. And it was the 14th out of 19 in which Michigan scored more points in the second half than they had in the first, indi- cating that it takes them 20 or so to get on their offensive game. Michigan made 15 turnovers in the game compared to Purdue's 14.

In what has been a helter-skel- ter Big Ten basketball race, In- diana not only finds itself on top but in excellent position to go all the way. The Hoosiers defeated Illinois 96-81 last night and were left on top as Michigan State suffered an 80-64 defeat at Ohio State. Indiana and Wisconsin snapped home-court supremacy in Big Ten circles last Saturday as Indiana won at Northwestern and Wiscon- sin copped a triple overtime vic- tory at Iowa. The Hoosiers are in an advan- tageous position the rest of the k 1way. Indiana takes on Iowa at Indiana takes on Iowa at V Bloomington Saturday, journeys to Michigan and Illinois and then ends the season at home against Michigan and Purdue. Illini Blasted Blasting a crippled Illinois team, Indiana sped ahead 50-27 at the half and coasted the rest of the way to boost its conference 'record to 7-2. Illinois' Jim Dawson . led all scorers with 27 points and Vern Payne was high for Indiana with 22. Bill Russell, making his sec- ond start for Indiana since Erv Inninger was injured, scored 10 in the early run and finished with 19- However, Indiana was so far in front throughout the contest that Coach Lou Watson used 12 players. Illinois' loss and Purdue's 96-87 triumph over Michigan enabled Purdue to climb into a seventh place tie with the Illini. The big turnabout, however, was Ohio State's 16-point triumph over previously favored Michigan State. Bill Hosket scored 20 points for the Buckeyes and had three team- mates in double figures. Sophomore Lee Lafayette had 20 for the Spartans but received little help along the line. OSU Square The Buckeyes, squaring their own conference log at 5-5, put 40-32 halves back to back as they employed an effective zone defen- sive to stifle the Spartans.
