Wednesday, January 26, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY rage Seven I Wednesday, January 26, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY e'age Seven Grabiec-led maplemen bo out to lunch mort noveck LAST NIGHT'S victory over Iowa was easily the most encourag- ing game the Michigan basketball team has played this year. It was a tight, exciting contest, which the Wolverines came back to win. It was a contest that they could have easily lost. They were down and both Henry Wilmore and Ken Brady had four fouls. But they got tough with a little help from the bench and in doing so showed more spirit than ever before. Two players that haven't spent much time on the court lately came in and did commendable jobs. Steve Bazelon hasn't had much luck this season. In the nine games he appeared in he picked up almost as many fouls as points. He only got three points against Iowa, all from the free throw line, but he didn't foul anybody and handled the ball well. Though credited with only one rebound his muscular presence helped under the boards. But the real surprise was Greg Buss. He entered the game with the Wolverines down by 10, 54-44, and though he didn't score any points his presence sparked the team. Michigan outscored Iowa 12-2 for the next few minutes and pulled back to a 56-56 tie. , "Buss was tremendous," commented Johnny Orr. "He'll certainly play more now. We called on him and he played hard." Buss didn't think his performance was all that special. He felt all along that he could do the job but seems to feel that Orr didn't have much confidence in him. "I think they were possibly a bit reluctant to use me," he commented, "but I think this might help." Actually he was glad just to get the chance. "It feels good any time I can help," he said. "It's a great feeling just to play." And he doesn't think that last night made him a hero. "Some of the regulars just didn't have a good night," he noted. "But any time you can get help off the bench it's good. Playing on Tuesday and Saturday is rough on the starters." Maybe with the solid performances by Buss and Bazelon, Orr will give them more rest in the future. Bazelon came in when Brady got his fourth foul and if he can keep spelling the big center it will help. Brady continues to recover from his injury, but it was obvious that his timing is still off. He missed several shots from close in and showed a general reluctance to shoot when he had a shot. Part of the problem might have been mental last night. Orr commented that "Brady seemed to be more concerned with pushing than playing." Henry Wilmore also seemed to be having his problems. He just doesn't seem to' show his usual aggressiveness when he plays guard. "Henry doesn't go to the basket," Orr noted. "He's not really busting it back there. He loses his quickness and operates at three-quarter speed." Wilmore also got himself into foul trouble needlessly. He wasn't assigned to guard the Hawkeyes hot shot Rick Williams but he often switched off on to him and picked up penalties. "Henry wanted to show he could guard him," Orr explained. But Williams got 26 points In the first half and looked unstoppable until Wayne Grabec put the clamps on him in the second half. However, Wilmore showed his old spark late in the second half as he returned to the contest with four fouls. Playing his old forward position he soht well, forced the Hawks to foul him, and converted his free throws. But it was Grabiec that led the attack. He had not shown his previous year's shooting touch this season, but last night it returned with a vengance. Grabiec scored a career high 31 points. "Grabiec's a good shooter," beamed Orr. "He's been tight this year but he was loose tonight. He drove to the basket and that's what you've got to do when you're tigh." Upset because a newspaper would dare criticize the mighty' Wolverines, Grabee refused to talk to any Daily reporters, but it was overheard that he spent the afternoon loosening up in the gym. His work must have paid off be- cause although his understanding of newspapers if off his shot isn't. Hopefully last night's performance will give him the confidence to shoot with the promise he showed all last season. However his gunning was almost overshadowed by the show Williams put on. It looked like everything he threw up was guaranteed to hit the basket. Orr called him "about the best shooter I've seen. He's out of sight, that guy." But at the end Williams started forcing shots and he missed when it counted. John Lockard played another strong game and his strength on the backboards was a decisive factor. He snapped down 14 to lead Michigan and match Iowa center Kevin Kunnert. Hawk- eye coach Dick Schultz thought that "the difference in the game was that we lost the backboards." Part of the reason for the Wolverine dominance was Kunert's absence. He was off on the bench with four fouls, a fate that hampered many of the Hawkeyes. Orr admitted that having Kunnert on the bench helped matters. But he felt Michigan deserved to win anyway. "We almost lost it at the end," he admitted, recognizing that his team once again had trouble with a press, "but we deserved to win." Orr was proud of the fact his team won even though it has played better. "It's not a bad team when you don't play real good and still win," he claimed. But he won't be able to make the same claim this Saturday. If the Wolverines don't play "real good" against Ohio, then Orr won't be very proud. By RANDY PHILLIPS Iowa's cagers, controlling most of the game, led by six at inter- mission and by ten early in the second half, but Michigan, sparked by Wayne Grabiec's career high 31 points, struggled back to con- quer the tough 'Hawkeyes, 90-86 last night at Crisler Arena. Grabiec's finest night in a Wolverine uniform was an all around performance as he did an efficient job on Iowa's shooting ace, Rick Williams, and added eight rebounds to the Wolverine cause. Williams was putting in anything from anywhere. Michigan coach Johnny Orr after the game called Williams, "the best shooter I've ever seen." Michigan's brief three point first half lead quickly evaporated when Henry Wilmore tallied his third personal foul at 6:15 and was re- placed by Dave Hart, and Ken Brady recorded his third personal to get a premature rest. Iowa then pulled away to its 45-39 half time lead.

Michigan began to hustle, and Buss fed John Lockard a full court pass under the basket and stole a pass to set up another two points for Michigan, and the Wolverines had the momentum back. Grabiec's two points inside on a drive knotted the contest at 56-all. Some sloppy play by both teams slowed things for a while, but then Orr smartly brought Wilmore back to try and give Michigan the extra punch it needed to pull away in the stretch. Wilmore responded by drawing several fouls and making all of his charity tosses. He also begpn to hit from the outside.

The victory was the Wolverines' seventh o straight. Paced by forward Campy Russell (who scored a game high 33 points) and guard Joe Johnson,a Michigan was in front virtually the entire game1 and blitzed to a 22-6 lead at the 7:30 mark of the first half. From then on, the Bears posed no serious threat as the Wolverines coasted to thei win.1 Frequently, Genessee could not his the basket and was caught flatfooted as Russell, Doug Ash-1 worth and C. J. Kupec swept the rebounds and whipped them down court to assist in the easy1 points for Michigan. Desperately trying to cool down the rapid tem- po, the Bears employed a backcourt press and for a short while it seemed to be a successful1 tactic. With the pressure being applied, the Wolver-i ines were forced into several turnovers and Genessee narrowed a deficit that at one point was 34-6 to 45-28 with three and a half.minutes left in the half. However, Campy Russell countered .'with sa jumper from the outside a few moments later and led an 8-2 Michigan tear that all but ended the effectiveness of the Bear's defensive maneuver. "We didn't react well to the zone press," ex- plained Head Coach Dick Honig, "because we hadn't been confronted with it so far this seasdn and weren't used to it. We're a club that .always presses but is never pressed. However, I was glad to see it executed and we'll have -to work on it in practice."

The second half was no more pleasant for Gen- essee, as the Baby Blue scored :17 of the first 21 points, with Russell displaying some-fancy shoot- ing for eight of them. For about the next five minutes, both teams played on fairly equal terms with John Gillian, guard, the most consistent Gennesse scorer as he finished with 22 points.

PAUL - MINNEAPOLIS WP) -Scoring champion Phil Esposito and Bobby Orr combined for the winning goal last night, ending personal All-Star Game scoring droughts and leading the East Division to a 3-2 victory over the West in the 25th renewal of the National Hockey League's midsea- son classic. Esposito and Orr, whose scoring explosiveness has dominated the NHL in recent seasons, accounted for the winner with just 69 seconds gone in the final period of the na- tionally televised game that at- tracted a crowd of 15,685 to the ton teammate into the West zone and Esposito made no mistake with a pinpoint shot for the game- winner. The goal was Esposito's first All-Star point in five of these -games and Orr, playing inthis fourth, picked up his first point with the assist. Bobby Hull, who hustled all night long, put the West on the score- board with just under three min- utes left in a somewhat listless first period. Chicago teammates Pit Martin and Chico Maki combined to get the puck to Hull about 20 feet in front of Ken Dryden, the East's starting goalie from Montreal. Hull teed off and Dryden never had a chance. With the second period just 71 seconds old, the West scored again, this time on a spectacular effort by Philadelphia's Simon Nolet. Dennis Hull, Bobby's brother, sent Nolet into the East zone with a pass but Dallas Smith of Boston was checking the little Flyer skater efficiently. Nolet bore in anyway and fired a back-hander that caught the far corner behind Dryden. That made it 2-0 and the East needed a goal to get back in the game. New York's Jean Ratelle provided it 21/2 minutes later. Ra- telle, fore-checking well, was in the right spot when Rod Gilbert hit him with a pass to the left of Chicago's Tony Esposito. Ratelle snapped a shot that caught the upper corner behind Esposito's right shoulder. The MAYTAG Porta-Pair Doesn't Care Where You Live!
