THE MICHIGAN DAILY Beats Michigan Cagers, 68-5 Tidwell, just warming to the cause, hit on a driving layup to narrow the count to 46-39. Butler took advantage of a Tidwell foul then scored one of their repeated easy baskets to restore the margin to 10. After that, it was a matter of guesing what the final score would be, as Williams, and his 5'9" run- ning mate Dick Haslam effec- tively held the ball, and the lead, against Michigan's desperate full court press. 11 Point Surge An 11 point Butler surge early in the first half had set the pat- tern for the game, as Strack sub- stituted vainly to try to find a combination that would click. The Bulldogs then sandwiched another eight point burst around forward Don Petroff's basket to take a commanding 27-10 lead. Mainly through the work of Dick Donley and 6'7" sophomore Tom Cole, the Wolverines narrow- ed the gap down to the nine point halftime spread. These two joined Charlie Higgs in the "thin man front line" as they replaced the rugged starting trio of Bob Brown, Scott Maentz, and Petroff. Cole especially used his height well against the shorter visitors' scoring four points and picking up four quick rebounds, while Don- ley chipped in with eight valuable points. Old Rut At this point, Michigan was still very much in contention, but Tid- well was cold. Fans hoped that he would start to hit, and if the balanced scoring continued, the tide would turn. But Petroff was the only other Michigan player to crack the scor- ing ice in the final 20 minutes until Maentz connected with two minutes to go. Statistics Tell Statistics told the story of the game in a nutshell. Michigan took. 18 more shots, but Butler hit 49.1% from the floor to the home squad's 35.2%, and converted 10 more times from the foul line. Although Michigan grabbed four more rebounds, Strack said that " . . . we had to do better than that against them. We didn't use our height to advantage." "Butler played a fine game," he said. "They worked for the shots, and made them. Maybe our de- fense gave them the good shots, but it's hard to say." Hinkle, in his 40th year at But- ler, echoed this when he stated, "When Illinois overpowered us by 30 points, they hit, we didn't. To- night, it was the reverse. The other team usually has something to do with our performance, and to- night I think we were just a little quicker." He added that guard Larry Ramey, who scored 19 points in the 85-63 victory a year ago, hadn't been hitting and was given a rest. Cat and Mouse "We just didn't have it," said Strack. "Butler's a master at that 'cat and mouse' game. Williams did a good job on Tidwell, but he's been 'gunned for' in every game. That's not the answer, but we'll try to find out what is against Drake tomorrow night." Although Tidwell's lack in the scoring department may not be the answer, it was pointed out that had he- approached his 38 point total of the Pitt game, it might1 have been a different story. "As Tidwell goes, so go the Wolverines," was the cry last year, and once again it is being heard, but if the spark catches the team on fire as happened Tuesday night, that saying might be dispensed with for the duration of the season.
