THE MICHIGAN DAILY Cagers Play Panthers in Home Oi U. 1 By DAVE KIMBALL A winless but improving Michi- gan' basketball team will host a strong Pittsburgh quintet tonight in the Wolverines' home opener at Yost Field House, starting at 8 The Wolverines, losers in their first two outings against Vander- bilt and Tennessee last weekend, will be trying to retain, if not improve, the form they showed in the second half against Ten- nessee Saturday night. During the last 15 minutes of play they bat- tled the Volunteers on even terms despite the fact that they had Bow .Berth . " i earlier lost the services of 6'4" sophomore Don Petroff, who was ejected for fighting. "Petroff should not have been kicked out of the game," coach Dave Strack remarked after the game. "He fouled (Skimp) Camp- bell on the rebound, but Campbell went out of his way just to take a swing at him." The referees, after removing only Campbell at first, reversed their decision and ejected both players. Strack was disappointed in his team's showing against Vander- bilt and during the first half against Tennessee, but was much encouraged by Michigan's per- formance in the second half against the Volunteers. "We didn't play 100 per cent up to our ca- pacity most of the time," the young mentor said, "but during "KEEP AHEAD OF YOUR HAIR" try us for: * CREW-CUTS * PRINCETONS M FLATTOPS '10 HAIRCUTTERS" THE DASCOLA BARBERS near Michigan Theatre. the second half we looked like a real, ball club should. If we were to meet them again it could be a completely different story."' The fact that Petroff -wa ejected may or may not have had an effect on the outcome of the Tennessee game. "Petroff is 6'4" and Camp- bell is 5'10" and was not doing much. We were definitely hurt more by the action than they were," Strack added. Tonight's game will be the ninth between the Wolverines and the Panthers -in a home and home series dating back to 1952. Michi- gan leads in the current series 5-3, and in all-time competition between the two schools the Wol- verines hold a 9-5 edge. The first game between the two teams was played in 1925 when Michigan edged the Panthers, 34- PHOTOS BULD-MOR 25, in an era when few games were played (the Wolverines played only 17 that year) and low scoring games were the rule rather than the exception. Pitt won last year's tussle, 71-56. In Pitt the Wolverines will be facing a good-shooting club which likes to run a lot, according to Tom Jorgenson, one of Stracks assistants who watched the Pan- thers'- edge Purdue's Boilermakers 81-80. In its only other game Pitt was beaten by ,navy, 63-59. Strack foresees no change in, style or attack for tonigi "We just want to improvi as possible what we h added. "We have a Ior ahead of us and right most important task i which five boys can w together." According to Strackr the starting lineup for tonig test will be Petroff a Maentz at forward, BoJb center, and captain Johi and Steve Schoenherr at spots.

The Bills broke into a 4-0 lead on a pair of baskets by 6' 10" Bob Nordmann and, except for two ties, led the first 19 minutes of play. St. Louis used -a slowed-down; offense, an aggressive man-for- man defense collapsing on All- American Jerry Lucas. Jerry Lucas, limited to one miss- ed field goal and six free throws in the first half, finished with 23 points as the Buckeyes turned on their steam in the second half. Detroit 70, Utah State 68 DETROIT - John Morgan, a junior college transfer student playing in his second major college basketball, game, calmy dropped in two free throws in the final five seconds and lifted Detroit's slug- gish Titans to a hectic 70-68 vic- tory over Utah State.

Morgan got the one, then made his bonus shot that sealed the victory over the Aggies, ranked eighth in the nation last season. Morgan, a transferee from Coal- inga (Calif.) JC, had 11 points for the evening while Dave DeBucs- Scores Wichita 78, Northwestern 60 Bradley 103, Davis (Calif.) 65 Vanderbilt 75, -Florida State 55 Notre Dame 83, Evansville 68 Kansas 97, Texas Teh 75 Rice 68, Florida 68 Loyola (Chicago) 118, Wayne State 76 chere and State's Mac Perry shared game honors with 26 each.- It was Detroit's second straight victory. . * *I MSU 70, Bowling Green 67 BOWLING GREEN - Michigan State almost blew a 21-point lead but managed to fight off a stubborn Bowling Green team for a 70-67 basketball victory. Michigan State, which scored almost at will in the first half and midway through the second, had to resort to freeze tactics in the final minutes to retain the lead. Three Spartans scored in double figures, led by Dick Hall who had 23. Dave Fahs dumped in 18 and Art Schwarm had 14. Minnesota 60, Missouri 56 COLUMBIA, Mo., - Torn Mc- Grann, a 6' 7" sophomore, fur- nished both the scoring punch and the key defensive performance as Minnesota beat Missouri'e basket- ball team 60-56. McGrann held Missouri's high- scoring Charlie Henke to 12 points. Henke had averaged 23.5 going into the game. He made only four of his 18 shots from the field, two each half.

North Carolina 77, LSU 61 CHAPEL HILL-North Carolina opened its basketball season in the winning column with a compara- tively easy 77-61 victory. Doug Moe and York Larese, fancy dans of Coach Frank Mc- Guire's Tar Heels, were scoring leaders with 17 points each. However, their antics got out of hand at times, with passes going wild and other minor mishaps. In fact, play generally was a little ragged, perhaps a sign of first night jitters. The Tar Heels showed their superiority in the rebound depart- ment. They snagged 69 rebounds, compared to 38 for LSU. * * * Indiana 98, Kansas State 80 MANHATTAN, Kan. - Walt Bellamy and Tom Bolyard led a 10-point rally that sent Indiana off to a 98-80 basketball victory over the Kansas State Wildcats. Kansas State led two-thirds of the game before the Hoosiers took control. Indiana had a narrow 71- 69 margin with 8:35 left when the Hoosiers hit five straight field goals to make the score 81-71, and the issue never was in doubt thereafter. -Bellamy, opening his bid for a second All-America berth, and Bolyard each made two buckets in that hot streak. The 6' 11" Bellamy, counted 26 points and Bolyard 22. Both were outshone, however, by K-State's Cedric Price who made 29 points, blocked four Bel- lamy shots and was a workhorse under both backboards, Price made 15 points in the first half, leading K-State to a 45-40 intermission advantage.
