Gophers Aim To Displace Blue ,., - , By BILL BULLARD Third place Minnesota rolls in- to Yost Field House tonight with a 3-1 Big Ten record and a desire to move past the Michigan Wol- verines in the Conference stand- ings. "Minnesota was a co-favorite for the Big Ten championship be- fore the season started and in my opinion they're still one -of the co- favorites," assistant coach Tom Jorgenson, who has scouted the NEJA( rree i atIUion Free delivery and service - NO 8-6007 ej Gophers twice, said. "The only Big Ten game they have lost so far has been to Ohio State down in Columbus and a lot of teams are going to get beat down there this season," he added. Jorgenson pointed out that in the Ohio State defeat Minnesota had a very bad start and was just Still Room There are 1000 basketball tickets still available for to- night's game with Minnesota.

The Gophers fell behind 30- 10 at one point. Ohio State hit on 59 per cent of its field goal at- tempts in the first half while Minnesota only averaged 25 per cent. Despite this poor start the final score was only 85-73. Jorgenson cited a "well-bal- anced attack" as the key to Min- nesota success. Four starters are averaging in double figures. Mel Northway, 6'8" junior cen- ter, and Terry Kunze, 6'3" junior guard, are veterans. To fill in for forwards Eric Magdanz and Tom McrGann who have graduated, Coach Jim Kundla has 6'5" sopho- more Louis Hudson and 6'6" senior Bill Davis. Alternating at the other guard spot are sophomores Archie Clark and Don Yates. Northway is averaging 14 points a game and is the team's leading rebounder. He snagged 20 re- bounds against Michigan State, in a 103-82 victory. Hudson Stars Hudson is one of the outstand- ing first-year players in the coun- try. He is an all-around player and leads Minnesota in scoring with a 19.1 points per game average. In the 97-93 victory over Purdue, Hudson scored 36 points for a Gopher individual game high this season. Kunze should be remembered by Michigan fans as the player who tied Jerry Lucas' Big Ten field goal average in Yost Field House. Hitting on 14 of his 15 attempts, Kunze led the Gophers to a 66-63 victory over the Wolverines. So far this season he is averaging 10.6 points per game.

But Saturday he didn't have to do it alone. Cazzie Russell matched- Bun- tin's 27 points and pulled down 13 rebounds as Michigan romped to an 82-64 win before an ecstatic mob at Yost Field House. The Wolverines' balance and strength once again proved deci- sive as Dave Strack's men won their twelfth game of the year and shoved the Buckeyes out of the three-way first-place tie in the Big Ten. After the game, a soundly de- feated Fred Taylor reflected on his team's conquerors, sighed and said, "I don't know who's gonna stop them. They're just too strong.". Over in the Michigan locker room, the always cautious Strack just shrugged his shoulders and put all the credit on his boys for the team effort. Cazzie Amazing Even the Ohio State players were amazed by Russell and his ability to be at the right place at the right time. One apparently mistook the 6'5" guard for Santa Claus when he shouted in the shower, "He's everywhere; he's everywhere." Russellrewas everywhere, but both Strack and Taylor were quick to point out the outstanding per- formance of steadily improving sophomore Oliver Darden who had 16 points and eight rebounds. In addition, captain Bob Can- trell turned in his almost habitual bit of defensive wizardry. This time, he held Buckeye guard Dick Ricketts to eight points, 12 below his Big Ten average. Cantrell also sank two key baskets in a row to break an 8-8 tie and put Michigan ahead to stay. Alternate Punch Buntin, whose three Big Dipper hooks paced him to a 15-point second half, and Russell alter- nated the scoring punch as Rus- sell was high point man in the first half with 16. The score stood at 42-29 at halftime, following a spectacular scoring play on which Russell beat Bradds in a one-on-one situation, only to miss the layup. Darden was there however for the tip in. The Wolverines' height and strength were keys to the first victory over the Bucks in the last eight games. The taller Michigan team controlled both the offen- sive and defensive backboards. The final rebounding total 'was 49-34. Lower Percentage The muscular defense also pres- sured the Buckeyes away from the basket, forcing long shots and a mediocre .373 shooting percent- age, as compared to the Ohio State .473 for all games. Bradds, whose shooting per- centage was among the nation's best, came into the game with an astounding .694 average in the conference but couldn't find his way to the easy baskets from LEADERSHIP ALPHA PHI OMEGA Service Fraternity OPEN MEETING Wed., Jan. 22, 7 P.M., RM 3C, Union close-in as he slipped to ten-for 23 for .435. By contrast, Michigan hit for .524 from the floor. Included in the 33 baskets were 18 from right under the basket on layups, tip- ins and a dunk by Buntin. Saturday's win put the 'Wolver- ines on top of the Big Ten with a 3-0 record. Illinois also is un- defeated with a 2-0 mark, but was idle. Saturday and last night be- cause of exams. Taylor was high in his praise of Michigan although he did say, "They get a little high when they get out in front." But the Buckeyes never saw much of Strack's men except from behind.
