Page 8-Sunday, February 4, 1979-The Michigan Daily ROCKWELL BLANKS WOLVERINES, 5-0 Blue icers destrc By BOB EMORY Special to The Daily HOUGHTON - The Michigan Tech Huskies got their customary perfor- mance from goaltender John Rockwell as he stopped all 28 shots taken at him in leading his team to a smooth and easy 5-0 win over Michigan yesterday afternoon at Tech's Student Ice Arena. In a rare matinee encounter, the two teams came out to play less than 15 hours after Friday night's game and the early start seemed to affect the Wolverines more than it did Tech. Although the first period score was only 2-0, it could easily have been worse, because Michigan couldn't do anything right. ASIDE FROM two good scoring chances during a power play, the Wolverine offense was nonexistent and the 13 saves Rockwell was called on to make weren't that tough. And while Michigan netminder Rudy Varvari made a few good saves to prevent an early rout, his play was spotty. Throughout the game, Michigan gave Tech several opportunities to score on rebounds. Again and again, Varvari would stop the initial shot, but was unable to retrieve the puck. This sort of play proved costly as Warren Young flipped a loose puck over the sprawled. goalie for Tech's first and winning score. Varvari also came way out of the net on four occasions to clear the puck ahead, only to find himself scurrying back as quickly as possible to cover up after the Michigan defense yielded possession in its own zone. PERHAPS INDICATIVE of the way things have been going for Michigan )yed by: hands of the Huskies. The loss dropped the Wolverines' league record to 6-18 and assured them of no better than a ninth-place tie with Michigan State. Michigan Coach Dan Farrell sum- med up the game and the whole season for the Wolverines with this obvious statement: "You can't score, you can't win," he said. Plagued by injuries to key forwards all season long, the Wolverines have been unable to mount a consistent scoring attack. BUT IT'S DOUBTFUL if a strong scoring attack would have been enough to beat Tech on this Winter Carnival weekend in Houghton, considering the way Tech's Rockwell played in the nets. "You have to score on the first shot on that guy," said Farrell. Otherwise, you ain't gonna see the puck again, because he doesn't give up any rebounds. He's the only reason Tech has a winning record this season, quite frankly." For his efforts, Rockwell was named the series' most valuable player as the Huskies won the Governor's Cup Award, a trophy given each year to the team that wins the series on Winter Carnival Weekend. FIRST PERIOD Huskies IT WAS THE first sweep for Tech since it beat Michigan twice in Ann Ar- bor last November. The Huskies, now 12-10-2 in the WCHA, had managed to split the two games in six of their last seven weekend series. "We skated a lot better today than we did on Friday," said Tech Coach John MacInnes. "And there's no question about who was the most valuable player. I don't know why they even said the voting was close." IN THE THIRD period, Greg Hay scored at the 1:43 mark to put Tech ahead, 3-0, and both coaches later agreed that was the turning point in the game. "Ah," said Farrell, "you can't score four times in one period against Rockwell."I Young added his second goal of the game 12 minutes later on a pretty passing play from forward Lou Drazenovich and defenseman Tim Wat- ters. Freshman Glenn Merkosky closed out the scoring for Tech when he tipped in a Mark Palkovich point shot with two minutes remaining. - Young (Drazenovich, Walters) 15:25; 5.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The Min- nesota Twins, who had been shopping around seven-time American League batting champion Rod Carew, much to his dismay, finally unloaded him yesterday, sending him to the Califor- nia Angels for four players and cash. The deal was completed shortly after George Steinbrenner, owner of the New York Yankees, said the world cham- pions had withdrawn their offer for the 33-year-old first baseman. In return for Carew, who would have become a free agent after the 1979 season if he had remained with the Twins and not signed a new contract, Minnesota received outfielder Ken Landreaux, pitchers Paul Hartzell and Brad Havens, third baseman-catcher Dave Engle and an undetermined amount of cash. Last month, after Carew had agreed to a reported $4 million contract with the Angels, Griffith had rejected California's offer for him, demanding that young third baseman Carney Lan- sford be included in the deal. But California refused to part with Lan- sford, a .294 hitter as a rookie last year, and Griffith reluctantly accepted the offer, realizing the possibility of losing Carew without compensation after the 1979 season. Earlier this week, Carew had told The Associated Press that he resented being "pushed around" and said: "I am offended when I read all this stuff about the New York Yankees and what 'George wants, George gets.' I want everybody to know I can't be bought." Gord Salt against Tech lately, it was a fluke goal that gave the Huskies their 2-0 first period lead. While the puck was rolling on its end, right wing Gord Salt hit a shot that flew up and then dipped down over Varvari's shoulder into the upper corner of the net. For those still counting, it was the ninth straight loss for Michigan at the Scoring: 1. MTU -(Drazenovich, Nelson) 8:39; 2. MTU-Salt (Boehm, Moy) 11:18.

MTU Saturday, Steinbrenner reacted angrily to Carew's comments. "We have great respect for Rod Carew as a player, but if a man doesn't understand the privilege of playing for the New York Yankees, in the greatest baseball city in the world, and has stated that New York would not be his first choice, and that he'd be more com- fortable somewhere else, then I don't think we'd be fair to our fans in New York, or to our other ballplayers, who've won two World Championships in a row, to pursue the Carew matter any further," Steinbrenner said. "When a man is asking for $4,000,000 over five years, and then says he feels like he's being tossed around, 'like a grocery item,' it's a little humorous," Steinbrenner added.

State dunks women tankers By DAVE JOHNSON, Coach Bahr noticed it in the dressing room. It showed on their' faces. And it showed in their performance. The Wolverines were flat. Obviously drained from Friday night's emotion-packed loss to top-ranked Iowa, Michigan was in no shape to compete with seventh-ranked Minnesota Saturday afternoon. The Wolverines only won four individual matches. one y forfeit. It was the inability of Michigan's lower weights to win any matches which put them in the hole early. The Gophers jumped out to a 16-6 lead before Michigan scored a victory on the mats. According to Bahr, that was the key to the contest. "It's hard to come back after being that far down to a, team of Minnesota's caliber. It put a lot of pressure on the big men." Gopher Coach Wally Johnson agreed with the Michigan coach. "Because Michigan has such outstanding upper weight wrestlers, I knew we had to build an early lead, or we would be in trouble. Michigan is a hell of a team. We're lucky to get out of here with our hid%." Ats for Michigan. the only bright spots seemed to be the con- tinued success of Mark Churella and Steve Fraser. Churella raised his personal record to 34-1 with a pin on Craig Wiklund at 2:48 of the final period. Fraser, competing in the 190-weight category decisioned his opponent 8-5. The scoring went back and forth, until Fraser put it away with a takedown in the final minute. Both Churella and Fraser will be in New Jersey this week 'J compete in the NCAA Coach's Association East-West Meet. Churella will wrestle Brad Hansen of Brigham Young while Fraser will go against Dave Severn of Arizona State. Hansen was third in the nation last year and Severn placed also. "It's a great opportunity for both wrestlers to compete with the best in the United States," said Bahr. "And it's a tribute to the Michigan team that two of our wrestlers were na med to represent the East team." Of course, both stars will be back in time for the Michigan State meet at Crisler next Thursday. The team will try to avenge an earlier dual meet defeat tothe Spartans. "It's gonna be another tough meet," said Bahr. "Michigan State beat Minnesota. But we'll be ready."

Steve Bennett, 10-5 Special to The Daily RALEIGH, N.C. - Michigan fresh- man swimmer Marie Polko set a school record yesterday, but her Wolverine teammates came up a bit short as they were felled by national powerhouse North Carolina State, 73-58. Polko's winning time of 2:26.65 in the 200-yard breast stroke established a new Michigan mark. She also won the 100-yard breast stroke with a 1:05.85 clocking. OTHER SWIMMERS who splashed their way to victory were Linda Kendall in the 200-yard butterfly, Barbara Don Carlos in the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke, Julie Bachman in the one- meter diving event and Barbara Wein- stein in the three-meter dive. In addition to Polko's varsity record, six personal season low times were reached. Coach Stu Isaac is pleased with the team's improvement and believes that the women are beginning to peak for the national championship. "I'm happy with the performance, even though we had our disappointmen- ts," said Isaac. "North Carolina State was ranked seventh nationally, and we battled them down to the second last event. We just couldn't do it when we needed it." The 10th-ranked tankers will be idle until Feb. 15 when they host the Big Ten Championship Meet in Matt Mann Pool! Spanarkel sparkles 'DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Jim Spanarkel scored 27 points and Mike Gminski added 22 to lead third-ranked Duke to an 87-78 Atlantic Coast Con- ference victory over 17th-ranked Maryland yesterday in a regionally televised game. DUKE LED by as many as 19 points early in the second half, but consistent play from the Terps and a cold streak by Duke reduced the margin to six poin- ts, 78-72, on an Albert King basket with 3:11 to play. But Spanarkel took a pass under- neath from Bob Bender and pushed the Blue Devils back up to an eight-point lead, 80-72, with 1:52 remaining and Duke was never threatened after that. Greg Manning paced the Maryland offense with 17 points and Larry Gibson had 15. DUKE IMPROVED to 16-3 overall and 6-1 in the ACC. Maryland, which last weekend beat top-ranked Notre Dame, fell to 14-7 and 3-4. The Blue Devils led by 13 at inter- mission, 51-38, but the margin belied strong competition from Maryland during much of the first half, including a short span in which the Terps led 30-29 with seven minutes left in the initial period. Tar Heels rebound CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Forward Al Wood hit two clutch field goals and added two foul shots in overtime, and fourth-ranked North Carolina held off Virginia Tech 92-80 in college basket- ball last night. WOOD, WHO scored 33 points, helped The teams traded the lead until the final minute. SOLOMON WENT to the free-throw line with two seconds left and two shots and facing a 78-77 North Carolina lead, but he was able to hit only one shot. The Tar Heels called time out with one second left but were unable to get the' ball down the court in time for a shot. Les Henson wa high man for Virginia Tech with 18 points and Wayne Robin- son had 16. The Gobblers, who lost to N.C. State Friday night, stood at 12-7 af- ter their loss. The Tar Heels, upset victims of Fur- man on Friday night, improved to 16-4. Hall inducts Wilt SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Wilt Chamberlain, the giant who set a raft of National Basketball Association recor- ds during a 14-year career but com- plained that "nobody roots for Goliath" heads a group of seven new members of the Basketball Hall of Fame. CHAMBERLAIN, a 7-foot-2 center who also starred with the University of Kansas and Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, will be inducted April 30 along with DePaul University Coach Ray Meyer and former coaches Ed Hickey, John McLendon and Pete Newell, referee Jim Enright and the late coach, Sam Barry. The seven new additions will bring Membership in the hoop hall to 60. THE 65-YEAR-OLD Meyer, whose 13- 4 team is enjoying one of the best seasons in DePaul history, called elec-. tion to the basketball hall "the highest honor a coach can receive." Meyer's teams have won 584 games and lost 331 in a career spanning 37 seasons. "This is the most memorable day of my life," said Meyer, adding that his big remaining goal is to make the final four in the National Collegiate Athletic Association championship tournament. THE ELECTION of Chamberlain, who retired in 1973, virtually was assured. He entered the league in 1960 after touring for a year with the Harlem Globetrotters, and immediately became the league's dominant offen- sive force. Many players referred to him respec- tfully as "The Big Dipper," and few ex- cept for the Boston Celtics' Bill Russell were able to contain him with any con- sistency. Chamberlain scored more points and pulled down more rebounds than anyone in the history ofd the league. Even at the end of his career, he was an intimidating shot-blocker. Bruins claw Beavers CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP)-Brad Holland hit nine of 12 shots from the floor and scored 23 points yesterday to lead fifth-ranked UCLA to a 69-56 Pacific 10 Conference basketball vic- tory over Oregon State. Holland scored 14 points in the second half as the Bruins steadily wore down the Beavers, repeatedly coming up with clutch shots and key rebounds. The regionally televised victory kept the Bruins in first place in the Pac 10 at 9-2, while Oregon State fell to 6-4. UCLA is 16-3 overall, while Oregon State is 13- 6. THE BRUINS outscored the Beavers 17-4 over the last seven minutes of the game after Oregon State had rallied to tie the score 52-52. UCLA took control of the game in the final four minutes of the fii'st half, scoring six unanswered points to take a 30-24 lead at intermission. Oregon State imanaged to tie the game twice in the second half, but could never pull ahead.

DAILY SPECIALS 'ALL YOU CAN EAT! SUNDAY-ITALIAN BUFFET $3.95 Penguins C* Wings' PITTSBURGH (AP) - Peter Lee and Peter Mahovlich each scored one goal and assisted on another as the Pit- tsburgh Penguins defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 in the National Hockey League yesterday. Ross Lonsberry opened Pittsburgh's scoring by driving in a rebound of a shot Rick ,Kehoe made at 1:24 of the first period. Less than 10 minutes later, Mahovlich finished off a power play when Lee fed him the puck at a right angle about 25 feet from the net and he beat goalie Rogie Vachon. Vaclav Nedomansky collected Detroit's first goal at 4:31 of the second period. Lee scored the winning goal at 11:56 ROTH WELL STARS: Tumblers trailOS By LEE KATTERMAN The close quarters of the gym room at the IM building brought out the best in co-captain Nigel Rothwell. Unfortunately; the OSU team had little difficulty adjusting to the intimate meet conditions, either. With solid routines on floor exercise and parallel bars, Rothwell posted a 54.70 in the all-around, his best total ever for the compulsories. But overall consistency on Ohio State's part carried them into the lead, 211.95 to Michigan's 207.45, in last night's exercises. "We're only four points down, and a good effort in the optionals will make it close," said Michigan coach Newt Loken. "It's a new game tomorrow. I told the team not to lose any sleep over tonight's routines." Michigan will have to be sharp today if it hopes to catch this tough Ohio squad. Mike Willson, OSU coach, was pleased with his team's showing. "We've been working hard lately and finally have a healthy team," says Willson. Although the Buckeyes actually were outscored by Michigan on floor exercise,' still rings and vaulting, steady performances and.especially solid high bar routines led to the four-point bulge. A quiet crowd of about one hundred watched the two teams split first place honors. Rothwell took firsts on floor exercise and vaulting. Darrell Yee captured first on still rings with a 9.55. For Ohio State, Gerald Martin's 9.55 earned him first on high bar. Rick Aguirre scored 9.3 to edge Rothwell on parallel bars and Jim Burns took the top spot on side horse. It was a lapse on side horse early in the meet that put Michigan in a hole.
