PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY Ti1FgnAV FFRUXTAUV II PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TT7~QflAV' ~TTh~UT I .5. 5A~).La .5, A'Z~Z.AIu.Jtn rI 'M'To] By CHARLIE TOWLE "Michigan is undoubtedly the; best college team I've seen this season. I think we played a good game, one of our best of the year, but I guess we aren't in their class," so said Minnesota basket- ball coach Johnny Kundla in the locker room following Michigan's 80-66 defeat of his team. Four weeks, the friendly con- fines of Williams Arena, and a chance to look at the statistics, however, have washed out any thoughts the Gopher mentor had of conceding the game. In fact, Minnesota papers have been de- voting much space of late to the fact that all the Gophers need to be in the thick of the Big Ten title race is a win over Michigan. Michigan freshman basketball coach, Tom Jorgensen, who scout- ed the Gophers against Illinois is well aware of the added incentive the Minnesota team will have with it tonight. "If they beat us, they are only one game out of first place and they definitely think they can beat us," says Jorgen- sen. Minnesota still starts the same Face Stern Gopher Challenge Lowly Hoosiers Trouble Cagers team as they did when they were at Yost Field House, but the amount of time guard Terry Kunze, who last year at Yost tied Jerry Lucas' Big Ten accuracy rec- ord of .933 (14 of 15 shots) from the floor, spends in the game is down to the point where it is counted in seconds. In place of Kunze, Kundla has been running in Don Yates, who is the most improved player on the Gopher roster according to Jorgensen. Also much improved according to Jorgensen is co-captain and starting forward Bill Davis, al- though it is difficult to think of Davis improving much on the board job he did at Yost when he led all rebounders with a total of 16 and pulled the Gophers to within two of the Michigan re- bound total (46-48). Who To Guard? Another factor about the Min- nesota quintet which is worrying the Michigan brain trust is the great team scoring balance the Gophers displayed against Illinois, who they beat 92-81. Archie Clark scored 20 points, Lou Hudson 19, Davis 18 and Yates and Mel Northway 14 apiece in the Illinois game. Michigan's hardcourt quintet is not without a little incentive of their own, however. Although it is difficult to pin down a definite statement the feeling among the Michigan coaches seems to be that if they can win at Minneapolis the corner will have been turned on Michigan's drive to take their first Big Ten crown since 1947-48. Perspectives In the words of Jorgensen, "The next game on your schedule al- ways looks light the toughest, but I would say that Minnesota has more talent than anyone left on our schedule. "We want to win this thing out- right and we're not planning on Ohio State losing anymore," he continued. An important factor in the con- fidence Jorgensen has about Ohio State and, to the degree that his fear of Indiana signs will permit him, Michigan going the rest of the way in the Big Ten is the rapid deflation of the Illinois squad as a top-rate challenge.. Both the Wolverines and the; Bucks have a game left with the not-so-fighting Illini, Ohio at Illinois and Michigan at Yost. But after Saturday's Minnesota defeat1 of Illinois, they do not loom too large. Hot-Air Balloon After three relatively easy wins, the Illinois squad took a three week mid-year break during which3 the nation's press trumped the1 Illini up into the main threat to the Wolverines' Big Ten title hopes. This, mainly on the strength of the comparative per- forihance of Illinois and Michigan against UCLA on the Coast. Mich- igan lost to the top-rated Uclans by 18 points, while Illinois dropped their game to the unbeaten West Coast power by only four. But, according to Jorgensen, "The three West Coast games we played were possibly the worst three games we've played all sea- "We've had some last place teams here in the pasts and we know how bad they can be, and Indiana is the best last place team the Big Ten has ever seen." These words of Tom Jorgensen, fresh- man coach, sum up the feeling of many who saw the Indiana con- test last Saturday. Michigan emerged with a 99-87 win with relative ease but the Van Arsdale twins and center! John McGlockin kept the Wolver- ines. honest. The game made still another rival coach a believer in the Mich- igan team. This time it was In- son. As far as Illinois just strength." we were concerned never had i BIG TEN CAGE: Bradds, OSU Beat Hawkeyes diana's veteran coach Branch Mc- Cracken who got on the band- wagon. Although he felt his team .did not play its best game of the season, he did feel that Michigan always had the hustling Hoosiers well in check. 'Best in 26' "They've got so much it doesn't matter what Strack uses. That team has more manpower than any conference team I've seen in 26 years of coaching. Such a com- mand of the backboards!" ex- claimed McCracken. The highlight of the game, as McCracken's statement indicates, was the overwhelming power of the Wolverines on the boards. Larry Tregoning, Bill Buntin, Cazzie Russell and Oliver Darden all reached double figures on re- bounds. The first half edge was 33-7 for Michigan and the final total was 59-28. The New York Times reported a 59-8 rebounding edge in its Sun- day issue for the Wolverines which, although it isn't true, won't lessen the number of votes the Wolverines get in the national polls. Jorgensen explained the over- whelming rebounding edge Michi- gan held on Indiana, who going into the game were just about even up on their opponents in re- bounding, on Michigan's early use of the zone type defense for the first time this season. "We were well satisfied with the results of the zone. It got a little ragged after a while, but I think it bothered Indiana. It gave us the tremendous board advant- age we had at the start, because Indiana was always outside," said Jorgensen.

Bradds managed only 30 against the Hawkeyes but his team- mates Dick Ricketts and Don De- Voe picked up the slack. Ohio State boosted ' its confer- ence record to 8-2 and Big Ten leader Michigan will need a 'vic- tory at Minnesota tonight to avoid sharing first place with the Bucks. Shooting a fantastic 65 per cent in the first half Ohio State took a 54-43 lead at intermission but only after Iowa had pulled to 24-23 with 9:18 left in the period. The Hawkeyes, paced by Jimmy MSU's victory avenged an ear- lier 87-66 loss to the Illini at Champaign, Ill., and left the vic- tors with a 5-6 Big Ten record and 11-10 overall. Topping the Illini attack with 27 points was Don Freeman. * * * Indiana Slips By MADISON - Indiana outlasted Wisconsin 82-80 in a double over- time basketball game last night to pick up some company in the Big Ten Conference cellar, It was the Hoosiers' second vic- tory in nine conefrence games and the seventh defeat in nine Big Ten games for the Badgers, the result leaving the teams deadlock- ed for last.
