PURDUE CONTROLS FINAL MINUTES WINS 77-67
Fouls costly in Blue's loss
to Purdue
By JAMIE TURNER
Special to the Daily
WEST LAFAYETTE-The words is now out: the best
way to beat Michigan is to have it buried beneath an
avalanche of fouls.
Forced to play most of the second half without veteran
center Phil Hubbard, the Wolverines dropped their second
Big Ten game in a row to Purdue 77-67 in Mackey Arena last
night.
Fifty fouls were called in the contest that saw Hubbard,
Purdue center Joe Barry Carroll and Boilermaker reserve
pivot man Neal Bemenderfer all leave the game on fouls.
But Michigan was less able to shake off the effects of losing
its star than was Purdue.
The Wolverines were still in the game 52-48 with 9:52
remaining in the game when Hubbard left. But from that
point Purdue proceeded to the foul line and ended up hitting
17 of its last 25 points from the charity stipe. Star guard
Jerry Sichting was the main beneficiary of the free throw
onslaught-10 of his game high 24 points coming on free
throws.
Many of the free throws came as a result of the slow down
game that Boilermaker coach Lee Rose instructed his
charges to use after Purdue gained a 3-point lead 55-52 with
7:40 left. "When we got in the bonus and could go to our
delay game (it was the turning point)," said Sichting af-
terward.
But at least one Wolverine questioned the many calls.
"They (the Boilermakers) were just falling down as soon as
they saw you coming,".said Tom Staton, who started his
first game since early in the season after overcoming a bout
with bronchitis. "We were making contact a little but they
would fall down as soon as we bumped them."
Both Hubbard and Carroll had picked up two personal
fouls in the first 20 minutes, but theMichigan senior ac-
cumulated another two in a 79 second span. When Hubbard
returned six minutes later, it took only four seconds for him
to pick up his fifth foul which gave Purdue an added advan-
tage for the final minutes. In all, Hubbard only saw 24
minutes of action.
From the outset it was obvious that the Wolverines were
going to have a tough time against the inspired Purdue
quintet. The first half was a microcosm of what transpired
between the twok teams last season. Immediately Purdue
established its superiority on the boards and raced off to a
quick 14-6 advantage. With a 13-inch size edge in the front
court the Boilermakers forced Michigan into forcing its
shots from the outside.
But slowly the margin was cut down as Mike McGee
began hitting his jumpers and Hubbard began to outmuscle
Carroll underneath. With help from sloppy Purdue tur-
novers, Michigan went into halftime ahead 37-35 when sub
Paul Heuerman canned both ends of a one-and-one late in
the period. McGee had 14 of his 19 points in the first half and
was the Wolverines' dominant force in all facets of the.
game. But the Omaha sophomore wasn't able to continue in
that vain in the second half-and with Hubbard out it was
too much for the Wolverines to overcome.
Often Michigan found its worst enemy to be itself, as it
missed six of its first seven foul shots. This self-denial
would come back to haunt the Wolverines later.
The Wolverines drop to 1-2 in the conference and 7-4
overall while Purdue raised its mark to 1-2 and 11-4 respec-
tively. Asked if the loss put Michigan's title hopes against
the wall, Orr responded, "We can come back. Last year In-
diana lost five of its first seven games and still went to the
NCAA's. We've just got to win the next two games on the
road (at Wisconsin tomorrow and Northwestern Thursday
night)."

DETROIT - Thomas Hearns kept his
unbeaten professional welterweight
record alive as he knocked out
Canadian and British Commonwealth
champion Clyde Gray at 2:03 of the ten-
th and final round last night at Olympia
before 11,115 fans.
Gray, whose record dropped to 72-6,
was Hearns' fifteenth knockout victim
in as many fights. The 31-year-old
veteran was able to stand up before the
end of the count, 'but referee Arthur
Mercante would not let the fight con-
tinue.
"I had a problem early in the fight
with my back," Gray said. "It hap-
pened in about the third or fourth
round.
IN THE FINAL round. Gray came
out trying to knock Hearns out, knowing
that he needed one for a victory over
the Motor City Cobra. Gray left himself
uncovered just enough for Hearns to
connect the final blows.
"I'm very impressed with him,''
Gray said. "He's a very well-
conditioned fighter. He punches very
well."
Gray should know since he was belted
all night long by Hearns. Gray was
saved by the bell at the end of the fifth
round. Hearns hit the veteran with over
twenty punches as he had him pinned
against the ropes.
GRAY WENT through similar
punishment in the beginning of the
eighth round as Hearns belted him
along the ropes into the corner and
around on the ropes some more, which
covered about one-fourth of the ring.
Hearns seemed to run out of punches to
throw, enabling Gray to escape. The
flurry cut Gray above his left eye which
bled the rest of the night.
"I'm ready. I need a title shot,"
Hearnssaid. "He (Gray) didn't hurtme
at all."
Who does he want to fight?
"Palamino," cheered the Hearns'
side,
That's Carlos Palamino, the World
Boxing Council (WBC) champion.
Hearns was moved from seventh to six-
th by the WBC yesterday prior to the
fight.
LAST NIGHT'S fight was covered by
media from all over the United States
and Canada. CBS filmed the fight for its
sports spectacular television show.
The added exposure should help
Hearns in getting his title bid. The fight
had an interesting matchup. Although
Gray had more experience, Hearns was
stronger and taller. He stands 6-1 at 148
pounds while Gray is 5-8 at 148%/2 poun-
ds. The smaller Gray moved

throughout the fight while Hearns pur-
sued him. Whenever Gray got tired and
stopped moving, yells from his corner
reminded him to keep moving.
"Move, Clyde, move," came the calls
from his trainer. This happened in the
seventh round as Gray was enabling
Hearns to measure with his left and
then hit with his right.
Gray showed the most spunk in the
last two rounds. After getting belted in
the eighth, he was able to get some good
hits in the ninth. He was still bleeding,
but that didn't seem to affect him.
Hearns seemed a little tired in this
round.

CHAMPAIGN - Eddie Johnson pop-
ped in a 20-foot jumper from the right
corner with three seconds left to give
fourth-ranked and undefeated Illinois a
57-55 victory over top-ranked Michigan
State in college basketball last night.
With 40 seconds to go, Levi Cobb won
a jump ball from the Spartans' Ron
Charles at the Illinois foul line. Johnson
grabbed the ball and the Illini called
time out with 37 seconds to play.
They then ran down the clock until
Johnson, a sophomore forward who led
the Illini with 16 points, pumped in his
game-winning bucket.
The Spartans had one last hope, but
I5arvin Johnson missed a desperation
heave from beyond midcourt.
Illinois, 15-0, had made a strong
comeback to take a 32-28 halftime lead,
but Michigan State, 9-2, quickly tied the
score as Jay Vincent and Earvin John-
son got the first two baskets after in-
termission.
The first half seemed like two dif-
ferent games, with Michigan State
dominating at the outset before Illinois
took complete charge.
The Spartans scored just six points in
the last 11:30 of the half.
Kelser, who led the Spartans with 25
points, got the first six points of the
game before Bresnahan hit a bucket.

Badgers roll
MADISON - Claude Gregory scored
22 points as Wisconsin, riding a second-
half surge of 12 unanswered points,
stormed to a 95-82 Big Ten basketball
victory over Northwestern last night.
The victory snapped the Badgers'
four-game losing streak, moving them
out of the conference cellar with a 1-2
record.-Northwestern is 0-3.
The speedier Badgers took an 11-10
lead with eight minutes elapsed and
never trailed, leading 39-34 at inter-
mission.
Northwestern's taller Wildcats had
trouble hitting in the first half. Reser-
ves began appearing midway in the
half, including Bob Klaas and Pete
Boesen who had 15 and 12 points respec-e
tively before fouling out.
The Badgers broke the game open in
the second half. Their 12-point spurt
was capped by a Wesley Matthews
slam dunk to make it 37-38 with 13
minutes to play.
Joe Chrnelich added 21 points and
Matthews 20 for the Badgers 7-5. Nor-
thwestern is 4-8.
