Coach Dave Strack's Wolver- es, who face highly-rated Duke is Saturday, never trailed after e first two minutes of the game,, hogh they didn't break clearly front until the second half was 11 under way. Michigan held a 40-33 edge at ilftime, as 12 turnovers held the g Ten co-champs back in the -st 20 minutes. But, as the sec- d half progressed, the Wolver- es continually Widened the gap, inging it up to a peak of 26 88-62.

Bill .Buntin, an 1-Big Ten star last season and 1 NCAA !regional All-American, d trouble,getting going, scoring st six point in the first half of 15 Str nine in the second for a total . , rack was far from ecstatic over his team's performance, as he expressed concern in the locker room about the number of times the Wolverines lost the ball. The 19 turnovers were partially a re- sult of getting accustomed to the game situation, and also stem from the fast-breaking game his team played, he explained. "We gave the ball away too many times," he said, "but we won't do that again." Strack Praises Opponents The coach praised Ball'State players for a spirited performance that held them close for most of the game, and for their scrappy rebounding against a much bigger Wolverine squad. The Cardinals' tallest player was 6'4" while the Wolverines seldom had more than one player under that height in the lineup at any one time. Jim Myers, a 6'8" junior who notched 22 against Ball State in his first college game last year was the sparkplug of the Wolver- ines' rebounders, as he grabbed 12, nine in the first half. Buntin, who fouled out with 9:13 to go in the game, led the Wolverines with 13, but it was the wiry 6'3", 155- pound Neal who took the game honors in that department, pull- ing off 15. After the game, Strack praised Russell for "a great all-around offensive performance," as did the opposing coach, Jim Hinga of the Cardinals. "That Russell's really phenomenal," Hinga said. "He's a great shooter, and always seems to make one when they need it." Russell Ices Game Hinga wept on to explain that Russell went into a scoring streak in the second half which iced the game. "We didn't think we were going to win, but Russell got them away where we couldn't reach them. "They'll have to play a lot bet- ter if they want to stay on top," said Hinga, who's seen Michigan in the opener for three years in a row. The Indiana native made a point that Strack also had been quick to mention, when he said, i92-7( "They really miss Bobby Can- trell. They need a leader on the floor that they just don't have right now." Cantrell graduated last year, and his fifth starting slot was taken over last night by junior John Thompson. Strack said in the locker room that George Pomey, currently the sixth man, will probably be given a shot at a starting berth before too long, al- though Pomey hasn't played guard all year. "He's quick and has too much for us to keep him on the bench," Strack said. Pomey netted only six points last night but was the game's leader in assists with five. Russell was next twith four. Lead Early After moving in front 4-2, the Wolverines were never behind, and the Cardinals were never closer than six after Russell notched two free throws to make it 23-17. Russell, the best major college free throw shooter in the nation who returns this year, hit seven in a row, without missing last night. The gap was up to 13 at 40-27 with 3:14 to go in the half, but the Wolverines failed to score as the Cardinals notched six in a row on three by Neal, a free throw and a basket by Keith Henschen who wound up with 16, ten points bet- ter than his average last year. The second half began where the first had begun, and it wasn't until Russell hit three straight free throws,followed by a Buntin layup, another Russell free throw and a quick ten-footer off the backboard by Russell that the game was out of reach at 54-41., The Cardinals held on, but with M Victory ND TAKES THIRD: Alabama Tops Poll; ~'M' Retains fourth By The Associated Press The Michigan Wolverines main- tained fourth place in the final Associated Press Poll behind Ala- bama, Arkansas and Notre Dame. The Irish loss to the Trojans of Southern California toppled them from the mythical national championship to third while the Crimson Tide took over the pre- mier spot. Paul (Bear) Bryant, the Ala- bama coach who played the other end from the immortal Don Hut- son for the Tide in the mid-30s, was hibernating in the Alabama back woods waiting for the word on the final balloting and was not immediately available for com- ment. Bryant, who now has two na- tional championships in the last four years at Alabama after fin- ally coming home from way sta- tions at Maryland, Kentucky and Texas A&M, had maintained all along that Alabama deserved the top spot. son Thanksgiving, completing a 10-0 season against capable upset- minded Auburn.
