LAST SECOND SHOT:
3M' Five Edges MSU, 72-71
By MIKE. BLOCK
Wisconsin came from behind in
the last minute of play last night
to defeat Michigan's basketball
team in a thriller, 81'-78..
It was the fifth such cliffhanger
for the Wolverines in Big Ten
play, and evened their conference
- record at 3-3, while raising the
Badgers to a 2-3 mark. Wisconsin's
and Michigan's season records are
now 9-7 and 11-5, respectively.
Yost Field House's largest and
noisiest crowd of the season, 9,100
strong, greeted the Wolverines, but
couldn't quite urge them on to
victory. Although they held a
76-70 advantage with but 4:45 to,
play, Wisconsin capitalized on
their mistakes to go ahead 79-78
with 47 seconds remaining.
Unfrozen
With three minutes left, the
visitors had narrowed the gap
to 78-77, when Michigan went
into a freeze. It didn't work,
though, as the Badgers stole the
ball and went into a stall of their
own, waiting for the last shot.
They went ahead to stay on a
layup by forward Tom Gwyn after
-missing on a shot from the out-
side.
The Wolverines then took the
ball down the court in an attempt
to regain the lead, but failed as
Tom Cole missed on a jump shot.
Once again, the Badgers con-
trolled the boards, and went up by
two as Dave Grams sank a foul
shot after being fouled by Bob
Cantrell.
With only 13 seconds to go,
Michigan managed to get the ball
downcourt with John Harris at-
tempting a shot from the foul
line. It fell short, and in the en-
suing battle for the tipin, Gwyn
fouled Cole; giving the latter but
one free throw, which was missed.
In the ensuing struggle for the
rebound, both Harris and Bill
Buntin had their hands on the
ball, but Harris fell to the floor
and was called for traveling.
Helpless
This gave Wisconsin control
with Just three seconds left, and
Michigan could do nothing to pre-
vent its fate. Cantrell fouled Ken
Siebel as the buzzer sounded, and
the- latter converted to produce
the final tally.
Although Wisconsin led 45-41
at h alftime, Michigan stormed
back to lead 56-55 with 13:27 left.
They' maintained the advantage
until Gwyn's basket in the waning
moments. The Wolverines enjoyed
their biggest lead, 16-9 with Just
five minutes gone, while the
Badgers had a six-point margin
several times, the last of which
was 49-43, just at the beginning
of the second frame.
The game featured phenomenal
outside shooting by both teams,
break by Wisconsin. The adgers
hit on 51.4 per cent of their shots
plus proficient use of the fast
from the floor, while Michigan's
39.4 per cent was held down due
to its repeated inability to capital-
ize on tipins, the third straight
game in which this has shown up.
Lose Rebounds
The Wolverines' downfall was
also partially due to being out-
;.'rebounded for tho first time since
the Ball State game, 55-46. How-
ever, many of the rebounds they
lost came after several tries at
tipping the ball in.
Their 4-for-13 mark at the free-
throw line also hurt the Wolver-
ines considerably, as any normal
percentage on penalty tosses
would have erased the margin of
defeat.
Despite his recent knee injury,
Buntin played a fine game, and
led the Wolverines in scoring and
rebounding, with 20 and 19, re-
spectively. But his performance
was matched by Wisconsin's Jack
Brens, who tallied 22 and equalled
Buntin's rebound total. Brens
played the last eight minutes with
four personals, but still played
full strength the rest of the way.
Both teams had all five start-
ers in double figures. Doug Her-

It was only Grams' third start

MICHIGAN RELAYS:
T rackmen Display Potential
By CHARLIE TOWLE
The bright promise of things to
come dawned for Michigan varsity
trackmen last Saturday at the
Michigan Relays.
Two-miler Chris Murray was,
perhaps, the brightest spot of the
evening. Murray had a disappoint-
ing season last year with his best
time, 9:23, coming early in the
season. Both Murray and track
Coach Don Canham feel his poor
showing was due to over training.
This year, however, he has cut
down on the amount of running
he does early in the season in the
hope that he would be sharp when
the big meets come around.
Saturday Murray reaped the first
fruits of his un-labor as he logged
a 9:21.8 timing. The pace of the
event kept the times up.
The mile run seems to be as
strong as ever after Saturday's
showings. Des Ryan turned in a
smoothly run 4:22.8 and showed
promise of better times to come
in winning the event. The best
Michigan time for the mile, how-
ever, came in the distance medley
relay. Dave Hayes, running anchor
in that event, clocked a 4:15.
Looking at the 60-yd. dash re-
sults for Michigan sprinters is a
little bit deceiving. In the prelim-

inary runnings Ken Burnley won
both of his heats handily, one of
them in :06.2 which ties the Mich-
igan varsity record. Although the
often game Burnley was sound,
Canham thought it better not- to
give the injury bug a chance and
withdrew him from the final.
The two-mile relay hid another
cheering personal effort, this one
by half-miler Ted Kelly. Kelly
running in the second slot turned
the notoriously slow Yost Field
House track in 1:54.5.

howling Michigan State fans who
thought they had the game all
wrapped up.
A pair of free throws by for-
ward John Harris and Herner's
quick two-pointer spurted the
Wolverines past State, 72-71, with
10,577 and a Big Ten television
audience looking on.
Stepped to Line
With Michigan trailing 71-68
and 16 seconds to play, Michigan
State's Fred Thomann clipped,
Harris under the boards, and the
Wolverine forward calmly stepped
to the foul line and swished two.
The Spartans had just 16 seconds
to keep possession of the ball to
snatch a one-point victory, but
guard Tom Douglas' pass inbounds
went awry and Michigan captain
Tom Cole grabbed up the loose
ball. Cole whipped it to Herner,
and the little guard moved to the
left of the free throw line and
pumped in the winning two points.
State called time out and tried
a last-ditch shot, but Bill
Schwarz's desperation heave was
off the mark.
Home-Town Boy ...
It was a grand homecoming for
Herner, who graduated from Lan-
sing Sexton high school, and that
winning bucket was only his sec-
ond of the afternoon. It climaxed
a slam-bang game that saw the
stars of both teams hobbling
around on crippled knees, an over-
wrought spectator try to get into
a skirmish between players on the
floor, and-yep-Michigan hit 27
per cent of its shots from the
floor.
The whole game was even-up
right down the line. State led by as
much as five in the first half, but
the Wolverines came back to pop
into a 29-87 lead on a 30-footer by
guard Bob Cantrell just before
the half. The Spartans were ahead
at the intermission 33-31.
Michigan was leading 68-67 go-
ing into the final two minutes
when it all began. Following a
