The Michigan Daily-Thursday, February 9, 1979-Page 13 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." Blue bucked MICHIGAN Min. FG/A FT/A McGee ........ Hardy ......... Hubbard..

Preston W Slosson 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. jgorberg 10ook'op MADISON - - Minnesota, led by Kevin McHale's 32 points, withstood a Big Ten Standings 303 South State 668,-?652 Preston Slosson will be at Borders Book Shop Monday February 12, from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. Conference Ohio State- Purdue Iowa Michigan St. Indiana MICHIGAN Illinois Minnesota Wisconsin Northwestern W 9 8 8 7 6 5 5 4 2 1 L 2 3 3 4 5 6 6 7 9 10 All Games W L 14 6 18 5 15 5 14 5 14 9 11 8 17 6 9 11 8 12 5 15 lb ISCORES.
