But with Cazzie Russell watch- ing the entire game from the side- lines and Bill Buntin missing Pep Rally A pep rally, to give Michi- gan's Big Ten basketball team a sendoff to the NCAA Region- als at Lexington, Ky., this weekend, will be held tomor- row night at Yost Field House at 7:30 p.m. The rally, sponsored by Inter-I Fraternity Council will fea- ture University President Har- lan Hatcher, Dr. Hazel Losh of the Astronomy Department, football captain Jim Conley, and Coach Dave Strack and the basketball team. eight minutes of action because of foul troubte, the dream turned in- to a nightmare as the lowly Buck-; eyes downed the Wolverines, 93-; 85, last night. Playing his final game before{ a partisan St. John arena throng, Ohio State senior Dick Rickettsa clicked for 32 points, thwarting the Wolverines almost single- handedly at times. No Action Russell, who had averaged 26 points per game in 13 previousj encounters, was forced to the side- lines with a sore throat and a 101 degree fever. The team that had scored seven points in less than a minute against Indiana, twice fought from behind to defeat Michigan State, edged Illinois by a point, and seemed destined to always respond to the pressure, proved incapable of the task last night as too many Wolverine shots refused to go in during the second half. The first half was prelude of what was to come, as the Wolver- ines built up a commanding lead only to see it disappear. Constant ball-handling errors allowed the Buckeyes to come from 11 points down and leave the floor with a 39-39 tie at the intermission. When action resumed OSU quickly jumped off to a five-point lead. Michigan was never able to come back and trailed for the rest of the contest. The margin see-sawed from three to eight points, but every time the Wolverines started to close the gap, they were unable to get the basket to put them within striking distance. And every time the Buckeyes brought the ball down, Ricketts and Ron Sepic took over, drilling 15-footers with deadly accuracy over the heads of the pressing- Wolverine defenders. Sepic finish- ed with 16 points-all of them on, field goals. Win Wrapped-Up For the Buckeyes, victory was assured when they grabbed a nine- point lead, 82-73, with only 3:33 left on the clock. Michigan came as close as 89-83 with 28 seconds to play, but by this time, Buntin had already fouled out, and it was clear that there would be no heroics. Buntin, who scored 13 points be- fore drawing his third foul after ten minutes of play, finished with 27, while Oliver Darden had 22. Starting his first conference game of the season, John Thompson finished in double figures with 13 points. George Pomey also finish- ed with 13, and Captain Larry Tregoning had 8. The Buckeyes outshot the Wol- verines, 55 per cent to.43 per cent, as both teams took a total of 68 Regional Tickets A very limited number of tickets for the NCAA regional basketball games Friday and Saturday at Lexington, Ky., will go on sale tomorrow morn- ing for students, faculty and staff ofethe University only.

Tregoning was Michigan's runner-up with eight rebounds. The Buckeye win keeps their perfect home-court record against Michigan intact. The Wolverinet have never downed Ohio State at St. John arena. Last year, Gary Bradds pumped in 42 points to beat Michigan at Columbus. The loss prevented the Wolver- ines from completing a perfect Big Ten season, which has been done only twice before in modern conference history. Illinois did it in 1943 and Ohio State in 1961. On Friday, Michigan will open its bid for an NCAA champion- ship at Lexington, Ky., as they take on the winner of tonight's Dayton-Ohio University game. By RICK STERN With the Big Ten their domin- ion and Yost Field House their' court, Michigan's Wolverines were crowned kings of college basket- ball last Saturday after beating Minnesota 88-85. From the time Oliver Darden sank two free throws with 47 sec- onds left in the game, until the last delirious player had left the locker room, Michigan reigned supreme. Number One "We're number one," screamed 20 voices in unison as photograph- ers snapped pictures of sweaty athletes drinking orange pop in a gray locker room. Below, a capa- city crowd filed out of a leaky building with a dirt floor, savoring the performance they had just seen. What was special about this basketball game? Nothing except that it assured Michigan's Wolverines of a trip to Lexington, Ky., this weekend, gave them their first outright Big Ten championship in 17 years and left them undefeated at home for the first time ever. Nothing except that it gave them the longest winning streak in Michigan basketball history, backed up their claim of being the best basketball team in the coun- try, and presented them with the opportunity to become the third Big Ten team in 35 years to com- plete a full schedule undefeated. "We're the Best" "I'd say Minnesota was second best in the conference, and I'm pretty darn sure that we're the best," said Coach Dave Strack to reporters. As he paused a moment, ten naked players grabbed him and threw him fully-clothed into the showers. Tom Jorgensen and Jim Skala weren't far behind. Previously, Strack had been car- ried off the court on the arms of his players after hugging Minne- sota's heart broken coach, John Kundla. Minnesota at 87-83, and climaxed another tremendous clutch drive by the Wolverines. With 6:46 left 1on the clock, Michigan had trailed. 74-69. A minute later, jump shots had given the Blue a 75-74 lead. The teams exchanged baskets and then Buntin grabbed the spotlight. Buntin Shines Held to three points in the first half of his final home appear- ance, the 6'7" Detroit senior scored three straight baskets in a 90- second span to put the WolverinesI ahead 83-78. Strack later called Buntin the best center in the, country. Missed Michigan free throws, and clutch shooting by Lou Hud- son and Yates, once again brought the Gophers to within one. This time it was Darden who took over. The junior forward hit on a hook layup with 1:26 left. Then, after Hudson had made it 85-83 on a free throw, Darden drew Dennyl Dvoracek's fifth foul, and calmly* stepped up to the free throw line to win a championship. It seems only fitting that the final Michigan point of the after- noon was notched by Cazzie Rus- sell, a fellow who specializes in late game heroics. Russell's marks- manship also sparked the Wol- verines during the opening mo- ments of the game. The All- America guard was responsible for eight of his team's first 18 points and finished as the leading scor- er with 24 tallies. Captain Larry Tregoning, an- other senior making his last home appearance, ended up with eight baskets for 16 points, and also grabbed twelve rebounds. A fur- ther testimony to Tregoning's board strength is the fact that three of his field goals came on tip-ins-twice when he followed his own shot. Pomey, the third senior on the starting five, finished with 12 points, behind Darden with 18 and Buntin with 17. Buntin also played a key role as a rebounder, grabbing 16 as the Wolverines out- boarded their opponents, 54-44, though they were out-shot in per- centage from both the field and the free throw line. Hudson took game scoring hon- ors with 31 points, including 13 of 26 from the field. Archie Clark had 19 for the Gophers.

Strack edged Jack Ramsey of St. Joseph's (Pa.) by a single vote, 45-44, with UCLA's John Wooden, 1964 coach of the year, only one vote behind Ramsey with 43. Strack said he was happy about the honor, smiled, then added, "I think the main thing that it shows is that we have great basketball players here at Michigan. It's the players that make you the coach- of -the-year. Cazzie Russell has received All- America honors again, this time Basketball Writers Association.

E DINNER JACKETS free throws put points ahead of 1230 Packard NO 5-4549 By CHUCK VETZNER Special To The Daily CHAMPAIGN - So what team won the Big Ten gymnastics meet over the weekend? a "No one," claim the Western Conference officials. "We did," chirp the Iowa Hawk- eyes. "We did," announces Michigan coach Newt Loken. It might sound like a new ver- sion of To'Tell the Truth, but ac- tually all three have valid claims.. Since the Wolverines won the Big Ten title on the basis of dual meets only, the conference get-to- gether had only the purpose of de- termining individual winners. No point totals were kept, but Iowa computed their own and wound up with about 15 more than Michigan. Loken's Version Loken's adding brought a dif- ferent result because he didn't include tumbling competition. He felt that since the event was in- cluded only as a sentimental fare- well, it should not be included in the tabulations. Tumbling was eliminated as a dual meet event this year and will no longer be used in the Big Ten meet. "We could have gotten a lot of points there," Loken added yester- day, "but it just didn't mean any- thing." His statement is well jus- tified considering Mike Henderson is the defending champion and he didn't bother to compete in the finals. Gary Erwin led the trampoline competition with the only Michi- gan first place in the meet. Fol- lowing right behind was teammate Fred Sanders, while John Hamil- ton took fifth. Hamilton was co- champ with Erwin last year and his performance seems disappoint- ing unless one realizes that he just barely qualified for the finals. Hamilton had an extra bounce in his Friday routine but was still able to get the bottom qualifying spot. On Saturday, he came back with the third best score in the event to move up five notches. "John went back to his winning routine from last year," explained Loken. "That's the stuff he'll throw against Southern Illinois in the regionals." Loken was well-satisfied with the effort of his team despite its single first place. "We wanted to take some championships, but our main goal was to get ready for, Southern." Regionals Next Michigan takes on the Salukis March 19 at Iowa in the regionals. The winner goes to Penn State the next week for the inter-re-! gionals. Another victory there would put them in the finals at Carbondale, Ill., on April 3. The individual champions will be determined by going through the same elimination process. The top ten qualifiers from the Big Ten will move on for the mdi-. vidual regionals held the day after the team meet. One of the happiest surprises for Michigan was Gary Vander Voort's fourth place in the all- around competition. 'Loken says he is now considering using Van- der Voort all-around against Sou- thern Illinois. Blanton 'Hits' Another bright spot was the ring work of Rich Blanton who earned a 9.25 in the finals. "It's the first time this year he really hit well," Loken said. In all, the Wolverines qualified four men on the rings as Cliff Chilvers took a third, Vander Voort, who also qualified in three other events, placed fourth, and Dick Stone finished eighth. Despite the squabble over who won the meet, there was universal agreement that Iowa's Glen Gailis stole the show. The 5'1" senior col- lected four first places including the all-around. He qualifies for everything except vaulting where he finished 13th. ........
