Pal age 12-Thursday, December 7, 1978-The Michigan Daily FOUL TROUBLE PLAGUES BLUE Griffith, Cards dunk Wolverine By DAVE RENBARGER Special to The Daily LOUISVILLE, Ky. -, Louisville's sensational guard Darrell Griffith single-handedly applied the skids to a seemingly impossible Michigan comeback, before lifting the Cardinals to a pulsating 86-84 victory before a sold-out andfatisfied throng of 16,613 at Freedom Hall last night.

Seventh-ranked Louisville upped its record to 4-1. Down by a 64-54 margin with less than 13 minutes to play, the Wolverines faced every sort of adversity imaginable, but still managed to work their way back into the game.

Only one of the five starters - was on the floor when Mark Bodner and Johnny Johnson provided the impetus Michigan needed. "OUR BENCH did a super job," said Michigan coach Johnny Orr after the game. "When McGee and Hubbard went out, it could have been a blowout. But they held us in there and gave us a chance."~ Bodner and Johnson each canned three critical baskets over the next six minutes to help boost the visitors to a 71-68 lead. Hubbard and McGee re- entered the game and Michigan's one flickering ray of hope suddenly seemed a lot brighter. But Griffith was right on the spot to extinguish it. The junior pogostick took control of the entire game. He registered 11 of his team's final 16 poin- ts, added a big steal and blocked an all- important layup attempt for good measure. DESPITE THE one-man circus, Michigan hung tough until the very last. Hubbard, still active inside in spite of his precarious foul situation, tipped in his own layup to tie the game at 79 with three minutes left. Griffith's ensuing 22-footer found its mark, and Louisville retained possession by controlling a jump ball. Clinging to the flimsy two-point margin, the Cardinals went into their deliberate, four corner offense, in- ducing Johnson to foul Louisville center Larry Williams. BUT WILLIAMS, normally a 60 per cent free throw shooter, connected on both shots to put Louisville up 83-79 with 1:43 left. Michigan was never closer un- til the final buzzer. After the contest, Orr lamented Williams' unexpected accuracy. "The turning point was when Williams made both free throws," he said. "It would have been a different game if he had missed." . But Orr didn't do too much com- plaining, despite the fact that his team had just lost the second heartbreaker in as many years to Louisville, and that the officials called a total of 29 fouls on his players. "There were a lot of fouls and that's a shame when you lose two great players like McGee and Hubbard for as long as we did," said Orr. "It seemed like a lot of the fouls were minor, but I can't complain about the refs." Down by. two, Wings' McGee totaled 28 points, 24 of them in the first half, and Hubbard chipped in with 19 points and 13 rebounds' in the game. Both frontcourtmen eventually fouled out. McGee left with 4:15 remaining and the outcome still very much in doubt. With his two superstars out of action, Orr desperately needed his bench, and it didn't let him down. Johnson ended up with 10 points, and ignited ergers Michigan's fast break in the second ha along with Mark Lozier. The othe Wolverine in double figures was star ting guard Marty Bodner who notchet 12 points. Louisvillets Bobby Turner led th Cards with 26 points, one more that Griffith. Freshman center Scooter Me Cray added 12, but when Crum's squa needed a point the most, Griffith an Turner provided them.

For the Canadiens, the single point pulled them 11 points ahead of second-place Los Angeles in the Norris Division while the Wings moved to within one point of third-place Pittsburgh in the same division. Montreal grabbed a 2-0 lead in the opening period on a pair of power play goals. Detroit's Thommie Bergman was sitting out a holding penalty when Yvon Lambert snapped home Pierre Mondou's pass at the edge of the goal crease past Detroit netminder Rogie Vachon. Mondou knocked in the second tally while Detroit's Paul Woods was off for interference, taking Steve Shutt's pass in front of the net after Guy LaFleur trapped an errant Detroit breakout at 17 : 13. Dale McCourt scored the first Detroit goal at 3:08 of the second period when Errol Thompson put him in the clear 25 feet from the Montreal goal and he beat goalie Ken Dryden cleanly with a hard shot. Libett beat Dryden from the slot after Vaclav Nedomansky had been robbed by the Montreal goaltender and recovered his own rebound, flipping the puck out to Libett. Rangers 7, Blues 4 NEW YORK (AF) - Phil Esposito scored twice and Steve Vickers had a goal and two assists last night as the New York Rangers began their second decade of home domination over the St. Louis Blues with a 7-4 National Hockey League rout.

The Wolverines, trailing 19-0 at the outset and by 22 at the half, put on a blazing comeback in the second half to draw to within a point, but then the Cardinals pulled away, outscoring Michigan 11-5 in the crucial last three minutes. "It was unfortunate we gave them such a big spot, because we completely outplayed them in the second half," said Michigan coach Gloria Soluk. Michigan looked disorganized and sluggish in the first half, committing 22 turnovers and managing only 26 points. Louisvile, meanwhile, relied on its superior quickness in shutting out Michigan for the first six and a half minutes. The Cardinals surged to a 28 point lead at one point and lead 48-26 at the half. The young women cagers came out running in the second half, scoring off the fast break and working inside. Fresh- woman guard Katie McNamara sparked the Wolverines with her aggressive play, and sophomore Abby Currier and freshwoman Diane Dietz started hitting. "Our fast break started working and the shots started' going in for us in the second half," said Dietz. Currier's layup with 3:07 remaining brought.Michigan as close as it was to come, 65-64. From then on the Wolverines fell back into their first-half habits of turnovers and forced outside shots. Currier and Dietz paced Michigan with 20 points each, while McNamara added 12. Denise Griffith (men's team star Darrell Griffith's niece) paced Louisville with 17 points. Soluk explained that the slow start may have been due to the squad's youth and inexperience. "Our kids are young and this is such a new thing for them. Coming out here, playing on the road, in front of all these people... I'm proudof the comeback they made."
