Special to The Daily
EVANSTON - Northwestern's
Wildcats combined speed, ball con-
trol, hot shooting, and a tight de-
fense to send Michigan down to its
ninth defeat in ten Big Ten starts
last night, 66-56.
3500 fans were present in the
9000 seat McGaw Memorial Hall
to watch the Wildcats race to their
fifth victory in 11 starts and move
within one game of fifth place
Indiana in the Big Ten standings.
The Wolverines scored the first
four points and the last six points
of the game but sandwiched be-
tween these two scoring bursts the
Wildcats had the game well in
hand despite scattered uprisings
by Michigan.
Big Leads
There were seven times in the
second half when it seemed as if
the Wildcats would run the Wol-
verines completely off the floor.'
From the 16:09 mark to the 6:08
point Northwestern leads fluctu-
ated between 14 and 18 points.
It was during this period that
the Wildcats entertained their

fans with a dazzling mixture of1
ball control and speed. They ran!
the ball around the outside tot
loosen up Michigan's defense and
then at the opportune time passed1
off to 6-4 Ken Luggens, 6-1 Ralph
Wells, or 5-11 Bill Cacciatore, who
would then burst through the de-
fense for a driving layup.
With just five minutes left in
the game Michigan whittled,
Northwestern's lead down to only
eight points, the smallest it had
been since early in the first half,
only to again be frustrated by
Northwestern's speed patterns as'
6-3 Brad Snyder and Luggens hit
for three successive layups to ice
the game.
Northwestern added to Michi-
gan's miseries with its tight man
to man defense which forced the
Wolverines to attempt most of
their' shots from the outside with-,
out much success.
While Northwestern hit for a
sizzling 48.3 per cent average from
the floor, for the second successive
game, Michigan was forced to
settle for 31.4 per cent as they hit
on only 22 of 70 shots. To add in-
sult to injury the Wildcats took
12 fewer shots than did the Wol-
verines.
Cole Leads
6-7 sophomore center Tom Cole
was the Wolverines standout as
he hit for 15 points and grabbed
17 of Michigan's rebounds to lead
the team ' in both departments.
Sport Editorials
For a series of editorials
dealing with problems con-
fronting college athletics, turn
to page four.
Captain John Tidwell, Michigan's
leading point-getter, remained in
his slump as he was continually
harried by the Wildcats' scrappy
Wells who held him to but 12
points, of which 10 came in the
second half. Tidwell was able to
hit on only five of 16 shots from
the field.
The Wildcats displayed a well

gens hit for 17, Wells for 14. Cac-
ciatore, who a few weeks ago was
given a one week's suspension for
an attitude detrimental and since
then has been one of the team's
standouts, had 14, and Snyder 13.
The Wolverines, who had a two-
inch height advantage over the
Wildcat starters, grabbed only
five more rebounds than their op-
ponents. As Coach Dave Strack
commented after the game, "They
were mainly defensive rebounds.
We didn't have much offensive re-
bounding strength."
The dejected coach added,
"They had good speed, but could
be had," and then studying the
shooting statistics sorrowfully
walked away.

DISCHINGER'S 52 SETS RECORD:
Conference Powerhouses Roll On

By The Associated Press
Ohio State's Buckeyes won their
22nd straight this year, whipping
Wisconsin 97-74.
The Buckeyes extended collegi-
ate basketball's longest current
win streak to 27 games with a
strong team effort. Four starters,
playing less than 27 minutes of
the one-sided contest, scored 14
points or more.
Captain Larry Siegfried was the
leader with 19. John Havlicek add-
ed 18, Mel Howell 15 and Jerry
Lucas, double-teamed by the
Badgers most of the way, hit 14.
The other Buckeye regular, Rich-
ie Hoyt, added 8.
While a storm howled outside,

the Buckeyes warmed up the crowd
of 13,398 by breakintg into a 12-0
lead, which Wisconsin could never
threaten.
Lucas scored only three points
in the first half, but took almost
complete charge of the defensive
rebounds by grabbing 14 off the
boards. He had a total of 23 for
the game, high this season for the
nation's No. 1 rebounder.
Total rebounds were 53 for Ohio
State, 42 for Wisconsin.

LAFAYETTE-Terry Dischinger
of Purdue cracked the Big Ten
one game scoring record last night
with a 52-point blast that tumbled

Michigan State's basketball team1
85-74.
Dischinger hit 19 field goals and,
14 of 15 free throws to better the1
48-point performance of Ohio
State's Jerry Lucas against Mich-
igan State two weeks ago.
The 6-foot-7 Olympic player
wasn't pulling a circus stunt. He
began pouring in points because
Purdue needed them badly - be-
hind 57-55 with about 11 minutes
to play. Dischinger made the next
fielder and 20 of Purdue's next 28
points.
,The Boilermakers, strengthen-
ing their second-place Big Ten
standing with a 9-2 mark, had
considerable difficulty with the
Michigan State team which had
won only two conference starts..
They were tied 44-44 at the half.
* * *
Iowa 61, Minnesota 43
MINNEAPOLIS - Resourceful
Iowa reduced Minnesota's offense
to tanglefoot confusion last night
and turned loose Don Nelson for
30 points in a 61-43 Big Ten bas-
ketball romp.
It hoisted the Hawkeyes con-
ference record to 8-2 and kept
flickering their feeble hopes for a
share of the conference title.
With a superbly disciplined
man-to-man defense that smoth-
ered all but Bob Griggas, Iowa
shut out Minnesota over one five
minute stretch in the first half
and yielded only five points over
one 10-minute run.
Nelson, maneuvering smoothly
under the baskets, teamed with

Matt Szykowny to shoot Iowa into
a 19-9 lead with 12 minutes gone.
:Nelson and the Iowa defense gave
the fumbling Gophers no chance
to recover thereafter.

Indiana 93, Illinois 82
BLOOMINGTON-Indiana Uni-
versity's Hoosiers , gave Coach
Branch McCracken his 400th bas-
ketball victory of a 28-year career
yesterday by beating Illinois 93-
82.
Indiana, not having one of its
better years, just pulled even in
the Big Ten race with a 5-5 mark;
Illinois was left 4-6 by its fourth
straight conference defeat..
Senior John Wessels of Illinois
won scoring honors with 28 points
.but Indiana had Bolyard and Walt
Bellamy with 22 apiece and Gary
Long with 21.
