PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, 23 FEBRUARY 1985 Cagers Carry Title Bid Dennis Dvoracek at the opposite Hudson.. to Minnesota By TOM WEINBERG Special To The Daily J MINNEAPOLIS-Tonight isn't IT-but it could be. Unbeaten in the Big Ten, the Michigan Wolverines face their sternest challenge of the season against runnerup Minnesota with the Big Ten title riding on every shot. The eighth - ranked Gophers come into the game with an 8-1 mark in the conference and their sights set on the title-hungry Wolverines' first-place slot. Top-ranked Michigan invades the hostile 18-000-seat Williams Arena with stinging echoes from last year's 89-75 humiliation, but with equally vaulting memories of the two victories here in last sea- son's NCAA Mideast Regional tournament. Looking for Trouble "We've proven that we can play top basketball there," Michigan Coach Dave Strack said before departing yesterday, recalling the wins over Loyola and Ohio Univer- sity last March. "We don't expect anything tricky or extraordinary," he says. "The only thing we're looking for from them is trouble." Big Ten Standings I Wolverines Keep Poll Lead For Fourth Straight Week corner( By The Associated Press Firmly entrenched in the Big Ten's No. 1 position, the Michigan Wolverines continued atop the Associated Press' college basket- ball poll this week, which wit- nessed a major shakedown in the rankings. Michigan collected 17 first place votes and 321 points in the latest balloting by a special panel of 35 regional experts. Runner-up UCLA collected 280 points on a basis of 10 points for a first place vote, 9 for second, etc. Conference leaders Vanderbilt and New Mexico broke into the Top Ten, ninth and tenth re-' spectively. Vanderbilt is the lead- er in the Southeastern Conference, New Mexico the pace-setter of the Western Athletic Conference. Other Changes In other changes, St. Joseph's (Pa.) regained third place from unbeaten Providence, Duke moved into fifth place ahead of David- son, and Minnesota climbed one position to eighth. The Wolverines, who lead the Big Ten with a 9-0 mark, lifted their over-all record to 17-2 last week with victories over Indiana, 96-95 in double overtime, and Ohio State 100-61. St. Joseph's, 23-1, downed Buck- nell 94-57 and Villanova 69-61 while Providence fell back a notch to fourth despite an 88-72 con- quest of Rhode Island. The vic- tory was the 19th for the Friars, the only unbeaten major college. The Top Ten, figured on a 10- 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis, with first place votes in parentheses, won-lost records through Saturday, Feb. 20 and total points: 1. Michigan (17) 17-2 321 2.

Hudson cur- rently is scoring at a pace of 21 in the Big Ten and notched 31 in the Gophers' narrow escape at Northwestern Saturday night. Pull It Out The Wildcats, still tied for seventh with the Wolverines' lat- est victim, Ohio State, just missed the upset of the season as they stormed back from an 11-point halftime deficit to pull within a point of the Gophers, 60-59, and then stayed with the visitors until the last two minutes of play. The final score was 88-77, but that followed an eight-point Gopher streak in the closing 90 seconds. S t r a c k sees Minnesota as "stronger than last year," referring to the Northwestern game as a testimonial to the Gophers' ex- perience. "They couldn't pull out those tight road games last sea- son," he says.I "They're basically the same as we are-building on four proven veterans with a year's experience under their belts," he says. In addition to Hudson, the Go- phers',fast-break attack is spurred by speedy junior guards Archie Clark at 6'1%/" and Don Yates at 6'3". In the center, bulky 6'8" Mel Northway doesn't give up any height to Bill Buntin, but the Minnesota front line remains smaller than the visitors with 6'6" Despite holding a slight height advantage, the Wolverines will have to cope with the Gophers' speed and balanced scoring per- formances from the top four starters. Hudson is the leader, but Yates, Clark and Northway have all notched more than 20, and as usual, all hit in double figures in the Northwestern game. Having lost only three times all season-once to UCLA in the Los Angeles Classic, once to Iowa in a freak performance the next night, and once to Illinois at Champaign - the Gophers are gunning for a first-place tie, while the Wolverines are out to vir- tually sew up the title with a win. Two-Game Margin? A victory would put Michigan in the enviable position of holding a SWEEP 3 EVENTS: STrachmen Top Irish, 65-39 two-game lead on the rest of the pack. Should the Wolverines lose, the pressure would mount on Sa- turday's game at Illinois and the remaining games against Wiscon- sin, Ohio State and the same Gophers. Tonight's game will start at 9 p.m. Ann Arbor time and will be televised live on channel 50, as well as broadcast on both WAAM and WUOM-FM.

By BOB McFARLAND Special To The Daily SOUTH BEND - The golden dome looked a little tarnished to South Benders last evening as they saw Michigan cindermen set four new meet records in a strong 65-39 triumph over Notre Dame. A total oT seven meet records and one field house record fell in the competition, during which the trackmen from Ann Arbor manag- ed to sweep three events. Michigan's shotputters again exhibited their strength by easily sweeping the first three places in the event. Gordon Harvey cap- tured first place with a toss of 52'2", cracking the old meet stan- dard of 52'%" set in 1953. Junior' Bill Yearby placed second and Steve Leuchtman took third. Sweep Dash Dorie Reid led a Wolverine sweep of the 60 yard dash, turning in a clocking of 6.2 seconds to smash the former meet record. Behind Reid were football half- back Carl Ward and Dave Cooper, who finished second and third, respectively. Michigan cindermen accomplish- ed their third sweep in the 440 yard dash as captain Kent Bernard picked up the win in a time of 49.6 seconds. In second place for the Wolverines was Bob Geromet- ta, while Marion Hoey placed and Notre Dame field house mark when he cleared 14'7". A duel developed between Canamere and Notre Dame's Dave McNamee, but McNamee failed to clear the 14'7" height. The leap was a personal high for Canamere, whose pre- vious top performance had been 14'6" against Penn State last Fri- day. Other Wolverines who earned first places included Brian Sween- ey, who leaped 22'5" in the broad jump, and Bob Densham, who es- tablished a new meet record of 6'41/" in the high jump.

The number of fingers on his' left hand, you say. The iron he uses on the short par three? No, the number five means Big' Ten Championships in a row. With Michigan's close triumph over Iowa, Saturday the Wolverine gymnasts all but clinched a con- ference title. The only way Mich- igan can tie rather than win the title would be to lose this Satur- day to weak Indiana, a prospect as likely as Mao Tse Tung becom- ing mayor of Ann Arbor. Michigan has won its fifth straight despite the hindrance of having no all-around man. In other words, Loken gives the op- position six points in each meet. The strategy has worked as Mich- igan's team of specialists has con- sistently overcome those six points, awarded for first place in the all- around. Not by Choice This accent on specialization is not by choice, but is dictated by the simple fact that Michigan does not have an all-around man who can come close to Jim Curzi of Michigan State, Glen Gailis of Iowa, and Fred Roethlisberger, of Wisconsin. Gary Vander Voort, Alex Frec- ska, and Ned Duke have worked all-around, but all possess decid- ed weaknesses in several events. Vander Voort, only a sophomore, will probably work all-around next year, but Loken says he has a long way to come on the side horse, his weakest event. Though Vander Voort has prob- lems on the horse, Michigan has found somebody who doesn't, Art Baessler. Baessler, another soph, posted a 94.5 against Iowa to beat Ken Gordon, rated as one of the best in the conference, and Gailis. Loken called Baessler's win "the one that put us on our way." Surprise Win The side horse win was big be- cause it was a surprise, but Michi- gan's sweeps in floor exercise and trampoline weredvital, because they were expected. Mike Hender- son won floor ex with a splendid 94.5, equalling his performance against MSU the previous week.
