OPPOR TUNITIES SLIP A WAY
Bucks dunk
By GEOFF LARCOM
Special to The Daily
COLUMBUS-Ohio State, needing a
win to stay in first place, and Mich-
igan, fighting desperately to stay in the
first division, played eyeball-to-eyeball
here last night.
And each team refused to blink, as
the Buckeyes outlasted the Wolverines,
63-60, before a sellout crowd in St.
John's Arena.
KELVIN RANSEY, Ohio State's con-
minutes to go, the Wolverines narrowed
the Buckeye lead to one, 61-60, on a
layup by Hubbard and a jumper from
the right corner by Marty Bodnar. OSU
went to its ace though, as Ransey was
called upon to kill the clock with 45
seconds remaining.
FINALLY, WITH 20 seconds to go,
Blue guard Tom Staton was forced; to
foul Ransey, hoping for a turnover on
the foul shot. But Ransey was up to the
task, as his two shots sealed the
Wolverines' fate, dropping them to 5-6
in the Big Ten. Ohio State remains atop
the conference at 9-2.
"In the last 20 seconds I thought we
would win," said Johnny Orr. "We
played very hard, but we had some
critical turnovers. We pulled within one
point and had the chance but we
couldn't do it."
Indeed, it was turnovers down the
stretch which led to Michigan's un-
doing.
WITH THE OSU lead at three and a
little less than three minutes to play,
Mike McGee was called for charging.
Twenty seconds later Hubbard was
nailed with his fourth foul.
The game was marked by numerous
turhovers, the Buckeyes matching
Michigan's generousity. Ohio State con-
tinually threatened to open up a big
lead, but the Wolverines kept within
striking range the whole game despite
never holding the lead.
"A couple of times we got five point
leads, but turnovers kept up from
pulling away," said Ohio State coach
Eldon Miller. "We did not play a good
game, but coming off two losses, that
wagers,
was a great win for us."
THE BUCKEYES jumped off to a 33-
29 halftime lead on the strength of
Williams' eight points and Ransey's
six. Michigan stayed in the contest with
a renewed fast break, as Statbn and
McGee each scored four points on the
run.
Hubbard shined through the maze of
Michigan turnovers, as the Blue co-
captain scored a game-high 21 points
along with grabbing 14 rebounds, also
tops. Hubbard continually penetrated
inside, showing improved mobility and
quickness.
"Hubbard is still not up to his full
potential, but he showed tonight that he
is still a fine center," said Orr. "I
thought Phil played well on defense."
FOR THE BUCKEYES, it was
largely the same act they've been win-
ning with all season. Williams tallied 17
while yanking down 12 rebounds. Ran-
sey added 18 and nabbed six caroms.
The new OSU twist was the 24 turnovers
committed. Michigan however, coun-
tered the Buckeyes goof for goof with 27
miscues in all.
The loosely played contest con-
trasted greatly with the earlier mat-
chup at Crisler Arena, which OSU won
78-69. This time, the Wolverines refused
to let themselves get blown out, defen-
sing the Bucks well in both halves.
"We did everything that we prepared
to do defensively," said assistant coach
Bill Frieder. "We double-teamed Ran-
sey and got Williams away from the
baseline into the middle so we could get.
help on the boards.
"What hurt us was on the offensive
63-60
end. We just didn't go ahead for some
reason. We couldn't cash in on some of
those two-on-one and three-on-two
breaks."

The 20th-ranked Illini opened a 124

six quick points to rally the Boiler-

IOWA CITY-Greg Kelser and
Earvin Johnson combined for 25 points
to boost Michigan State to a 60-57 vic-
tory over Iowa in a Big Ten game last
night.
The Spartan's win, in a game in
which both teams were troubled by cold
shooting and fouls, was sparked by
Johnson's free throw shooting in the
second half. The 6-foot-8 sophomore hit
nine free throws.
Iowa's offense was led by 6-foot-10
center Steve Waite who poured in 18
points and participated in several ,
steals.
The Hawkeyes lost guard Ronnie
Lester, the league's leading scorer,
with nearly 10 minutes left and lost
William Mayfield with four minutes to
go in the game. Michigan State lost Jay
Vincent on fouls.
Iowa, which had been tied with Ohio
State for the lead in the Big Ten, falls
into second place with an 8-3 conference
log and is 15-5 overall. Michigan State
now stands 7-4 and 15-5.

History affords many instances in which two national
leaders have so intermingled their careers, either as oppo-
nents or as allies, that they are most readily considered
together. Such leaders where the younger William Pitt and
Charles James Fox, certainly the two most influential
party leaders and (with.Edmund Burke as a possible
third) the greatest British orators of their generation. \..
To make more vivid the conflicts in which these
orators were involved, the appendix of this book
offers selections from contemporary reports of
debates in the House of Commons, the great
arena of political controversy in eighteenth
century Britain.
