Page 8-Sunday, January 14,1979-The Michigan Daily DEEP FREEZE HITS BLUE: Women cagers stumble, 59-53, By CUB SCHWARTZ The normally hot-handed Michigan women's basketball team battled a cold front of its own at Crisler Arena yester- day, falling to Indiana, 59-56. The Wolverines shot a miserable 32.8 per cent from the floor and only 28.6 per cent in the second half in falling to the Hoosiers. At one point in the second period, the Wolverines missed 16 con- secutive shots over a span of eight and a half minutes to fall 19 points down with 10:00 remaining. JUNIOR GUARD Terry Schevers broke the ice seconds later on a driving lay-up through Indiana's tight man-to- man defense. From there Indiana con- tracted the chills, failing to notch a field goal for the next six minutes. In the meantime, freshpersons Katie McNamara and Yvette Harris took con- trol for Michigan at both ends of the court. Harris, who had collected four fouls in the first half, entered the pivot for Michigan and snapped down eight consecutive rebounds on the defensive boards along with blocking four shots. She passed out to McNamara who tried to stir the stalled Wolverine fast break offense. While Michigan still found a lid on the basket, persistence on the offense boards gave the Wolverines three and four shots on each possession. Eventually the shots fell and Michigan pulled to within five with 3:32 remaining. From there, the teams traded baskets until the buzzer soun- ded. "THERE WAS just a lid on the basket today," explained a frustrated Michigan head coach Gloria Soluk. "I don't think they played that great a defense. We just couldn't put the ball in. "We didn't make anything in the second half. I guess it opened up a little late in the game, but we were just trying to run to draw fouls," she con- tinued. "We really didn't run our fast break well. "Of course, I don't know if we even showed up to play the game." Michigan's shooting tandem of Mc- Namara and Diane Dietz were hit har- dest by the cold spell. McNamara was seven of 18 and Dietz could only hit four of 16, well below her season shooting percentage. "IT JUST happens," Dietz said of her off day from the floor. "I know it's gon- na happen a couple of times a year, and today was one of them. You just have to keep shooting and hope something starts to fall." But a cold spell often prolongs itself when it affects a shooter mentally. Dietz was no exception. "Sometimes you say, 'Am I open?' and you are. But you move in a little bit to take shorter shots," she explained. "Then you hesitate before you shoot, and you just keep missing." Harris appeared to be the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal day. The 6-2 center ended up with 18 rebounds and nine blocked shots. Yet because of her early foul trouble, she only played 24 minutes. "THEY BLOCKED out really well in the first half," Harris offered. "I sure found that out. "I really like to block shots so it was rough (playing with four fouls down the stretch. I was thinking about my leg because I usually bump people with my leg." Harris and teammates are facing a test of stamina these days. The squad defeated Wisconsin Friday evening and must face Mid-West Region AIAW champ Ohio State tomorrow night. While there is no Big Ten women's basketball conference at this time, the difference between Big Ten teams and other in-state teams is apparent. "They're tough games," Dietz ex- plained. "I thought Wisconsin was physical last night and Indiana was even worse today. . . they (Big Ten .teams) are a lot rougher. I'm getting killed out there." DIETZ AND Harris admitted the bunched schedule might be affecting the team's play. . Tomorrow's game against the Buckeyes begins at 7 p.m. at Crisler Arena. Shooting starves Sherman ......

The Wolverines didn't capture a win until the sixth match, when Nemir Nadhir decisioned Jay Stolzfus 28-7 for a superior decision and his third straight win. The Cyclones had built up a 23-0 lead prior to Nadhir's match. Mark Churella, Michigan's two-time NCAA champ, followd Nadhir with an electrifying pin (at 3:52) of two-time runner-up Kelly Ward, bringing most of the Michigan fans to their feet. Churella, taking advantage of a mistake by Ward, put the Cyclone wrestler in a "guillotine" for the pin. "He (Ward) kept letting Churella have his arm," said Iowa State coach Harold Nichols. "I always say you've got to respect the other guy." Michigan injuries and inexperience in the early weight classes enabled the Cyclones to build their wide lead. Freshman Jim Mathias of Michigan dropped a 3-1 decision to Mike Farina in the opening match. Mathias led, 1-0, going into the third and final period but Farina scored three points (one for an escape, one for stalling,' and one for riding time) and held on to win. At 126, Cyclone Jim Lord recorded a fall against freshman Mark Pear- son with 1:21 left in the match. In the 134 pound weight class, Michigan's Bob Lence, weighing only 123 pounds and in his first match this year, met national champ Mike Land. Land pinned Lence at the 4:19 mark. Matt Curtis, a freshman, was also wrestling in his first match. Curtis couldn't get much offense going, and lost a 13-0 superior decision to Dave Brown. Lou Joseph, although losing a 9-4 decision in the 150 pound class, got the momentum going Michigan's way with his aggresive wrestling in the third period. After winning the 159 and 167 pound weight classes, Wolverine bill Petoskey lost a 9-4 decision to Dave Allen. That made the score 26-11 in favor of Iowa State with two matches left. At 190, Michigan's Steve Fraser (sixth in the NCAA's last year) needed third period heroics to defeat a very tough freshman, Mike Mann, 9-8. With only five seconds left, and both wrestlers standing, Fraser shot in and took Mann to the mat for the win. In the final match of the night; heavyweight Steve Bennett came on strong in the third period to decision Cyclone Tom Waldon, 7-4. Bennett was losing 3-2 going into the final period. "We expected to take the 190 and the heavyweight matches," commen- ted a disappointed Nichols. "Our kids from 150 up looked good. . . . I couldn't have expected any more," stated Michigan coach Dale Bahr. "I was really proud of the way Fraser wrestled." Before last night's loss, Michigan had won six straight meets. According to Bahr, "The key to our success is our running program." The wrestlers have been running three times a week. "I was very pleased with this week's results (a win over Lehigh, North- western and yesterday's effort). If you told me at the beginning of the seasol that we would be 6-2 now and come so close to Iowa State, I would say you were crazy," commented Bahr. The Michgian wrestlers, now 6-2, travel next week to face Indiana and Indiana State. The next home meet will be February 2 against number one ranked Iowa. wrestlers clamped 118-Farina (IS) dec.

The men wiped out Minnesota 83-30, taking all but two of the meet's 13 events. John Slykhouse paved the way, with victories in the 1000-yard freestyle and 500- yard freestyle, and a leg in the winning 400-yard freestyle relay. Bob Murray and Kevin Williamson were both double winners for the tankers. Murray set pool records (at Matt Mann) in the 50- and 100-yard freestyles with times of 20.64 and 45.54, respectively. Matt Chelich turned in another outstanding performance on the diving boards. The defending Big Ten champion won by large margins in both the one-and three-meter events. His total of 342.45 points in the one-meter dive was the highest ever by a Michigan diver. Minnesota had been expected to give the Wolveriens trouble in the spring events. Coach Gus Stager commented, "We knew we would be able to beat them (overall). Some of the big guns didn't swim in their events (for Michigan), and consequently, we went for the sprinters. Art Griffith (Minnesota) has world/n- tional ranking in the 100-meter freestyle, so we wanted to go after him." The Blue tankers swept the 100-yard freestyle, holding Griffith out of the scoring. The women's swim team defeated the Schroeder swim team 152-114 to run their dual meet record to 5-0. Lpri Hughes and Katy McCully were triple winnes for the women. Coach Stu Isaac was again pleased by his team's performance. "They're a class team. They kept their cool. They won a lot of close races." FOLD BACK THIS FLAP & SEAL WITH TAPE FROM Circulation Department Student Publications Building 420 Maynard Street Ann Arbor, Mich. 48109 FOLD An unidentified gymnast was injured yesterday at the Big Ten Invitational Tournament when he accidentally fell off the high wire and dove spread-eagle into a wet sponge some 25 feet below. The judges were not unsympathetic, however, as they recorded the unfortunate athlete a 9.3, 9.4 and a pair of 9.5's. Seriously, athletes from Michigan, Eastern, Western, In- diana and the State twins, Michigan and Ohio competed in the compulsory events yester- day. The optional events are today, starting at 10 a.m., leading up to individual finals at 2:30. The competition takes place at Crisler Arena.
