Sunday, February 6, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Page Nine Purdue boils Michigan cagers Against Te Wall F Boys whittle. ... Michigan timbers By JOHN PAPANEK Special to the Daily WEST LAFAYETTE A TESTY looking Johnny Orr walked out of the Michigan lockerroom and told the small gathering of reporters exactly what they had just seen. "(Bob) Ford and (William) Franklin really took it to us on offense, didn'tthey?" he asked rhetorically. "That was the difference in the game." Purdue's two workhorses pummeled Michigan for'57 points, nearly all of them coming from the inside, where the Wolverines are supposed to be one of the strongest teams around. But Michigan's brutes just weren't up to it yesterday. 6-10 Ken Brady, the biggest man on the court for either team'was Michigan's high rebounder with nine, while his man, Franklin, pulled down 20 and scored 28 points. "We took Brady out for a while in the second half to rest him," Orr said. "And besides, Franklin was going nuts." The Wolverines leading rebounder, John Lockard, had his most disappointing performance of the season, but that was partly because he was playing on a sore knee suffered in prac- tice a few days ago. Lockard and Brady missed three layups each in the first half when the game was close; and those twelve points could have made the game a whole, different story for Michigan. "The first ten minutes, we really had the good shots," said Orr, whose game plan was to get the ball inside to the big men and watch Franklin and Ford sluff off. "We just couldn't get the ball in the basket." Meanwhile, Ford was scoring like mad, and Ernie Johnson, trying fruitlessly to stop the stocky 6-7 senior, had the beat view of it all. "There was just nothing I could do to stop him," said the Big E. "He was pushing me around real good, and getting good position. But it seemed that even when I did get position, he still got the ball." The win was a big one for Purdue coach George King. "This one makes the Big Ten race look a lot better, but there's a long way to go yet. "I really didn't expect to dominate Michigan's big men the way we did. But our guys did a tremendous job. That's been our problem this year - whether we play a zone or man-to-man we have trouble getting the ball off the boards. I felt that Michigan's big scoring average has been due more to their board game than their running. So we went out to get the boards today." The physical tenor of the game took its toll on both teams, but Michigan was forced to shuttle players around all game. Henry Wilmore, who started the game at guard, picked up three fouls by the middle of the first half. He came out with eight minutes left, and Lockard, who had been resting his knee, came back in, and played his best ball of the day. Lockard did manage to fire up the crowd of 13,584 fana- tic Hoosiers in the closing minutes of the first half, when he backed into Franklin and sent him flying to the pines. A minute before, Brady had done the same to Ford, and the frustrated crowd, watching the last two minutes of the half go by without either team breaking the 37-37 deadlock, brought the house down. But Lockard must have had more than he can handle, be- cause when the second half started, he was on the bench, and Wilmore was in his forward spot. Playing in the corner for the rest of the game, Wilmore came alive and scored 22 of his 26 points. "With Henry at forward, we lose a little on the boards," Orr noted, "but he helps by drawing all those fouls." In fact, Wilmore was so deadly from the line (12 for 14) that with about ten minutes left in the game, King decided to put his Boilermakers back into the 3-2 zone that they played in the first half. "We had about seven fouls and Michigan had none. We felt if we kept fouling, we'd lose the game at the line, especially with Wilmore shooting like he was," King ex- plained. But in the end, Orr tried his best to be optimistic. "We're 5-2, that's half the schedule. If we can go 5-2 in the second half, I think we'll be alright. Things just didn't seem to bounce right for us today. Everytime we were coming back, we'd miss a shot or lose the ball. "I'd like to see a lot of things better, but it's awful hard to win on the road." By RANDY PHILLIPS Special To The Daily WEST LAFAYETTE - Purdue's Bob Ford and Bill Franklin de- stroyed Michigan inside with a combined 57 points and 32 re- bounds and led the Boilermakers to a 84-74 Big Tenbasketball vic- tory yesterday. Ford and Franklin roamed free under the boards at both ends of the court for easy layups, short hooks, and tip-ins, while Wolver- ine big men Ernie Johnson, Ken Brady and John Lockard refused to challenge the Boilermaker duo. It was a tight contest through half of the second period. The score was knotted 37-all at inter- mission and both teams took small leads at the start of the sec- ond half. But with 11:52 left in the con- test and Purdue up by two Ford and Frank Kendrick hit two buc- kets to increase the lead to six and Don Lund, Michigan's Assist- ant Athletic Director has been appointed to Associate Ath- letic Director, replacing Dave Strack. Strack will become Athletic Director at the Uni- .versity of Arizona on Feb. 15. Lund's appointment becomes effective on March 1. Purdue slowly but surely pulled away to a 71-61 lead with 7:31 left. Michigan closed the gap to five at 3:48, mainly on the strength of Henry Wilmore's aggressive foul- drawing antics, but a late Wol- verine press was ineffective and Purdue sank some easy buckets to end the contest. A poor display of basketball opened the game as neither team seemed to want to keep the ball or put it in the hoop. The Wolverines were getting the ball inside Purdue's zone for good shots early in the game, but the layups were not falling in. Michi- gan managed to blow six layup at- tempts in the first half alone. SUNDAY SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR: BOB ANDREWS Both squads were as ice-cold as the weather outside Mackey Arena, shooting under 35 per cent for the first half. Purdue burst out to an early 12-5 lead as Michigan couldn't buy a bucket, despite several good opportunities. Sloppy play mark- ed the entire first half. The Wolverines managed to take a 31-30 lead with 4:10 re- maining, but neither squad could get any kind of momentum going and the half-time deadlock re- sulted. Wilmore and John Lockard got into foul trouble in the first half as each drew three personals. Wilmore sat out the last five and a half minutes of the period and only had four points. Lockard was ineffective both on defense and offense and sat out the start of the second half as Wilmore was shifted to forward. Wilmore responded by fouling out Kendrick and drawing four fouls on his replacement, Bruce Rose. But Wilmore's foul shoot- ing and twenty-two second half points were not enough to keep Michigan in the game. The Wolverines encountered in- creasing difficulty in getting the ball inside after intermission as Purdue's defense tightened up. With Wilmore at forward, Purdue began to double-team him, but Michigan couldn't find the open man underneath. Ford, covered by Johnson inost of the afternoon, worked his way into position close in time after time and Purdue's guards fed him and Franklin all day. Franklin's shot was not on as he went 10 for 32, but he followed his misses sev- eral times and put in the offen- sive rebounds. As a result of Ford's and Frank- lin's boarding the Wolverines were outrebounded for one of the few times this season. Michigan coach Johnny Orr called Purdue "a little better boarders" than the other teams Michigan has played. He added, "Ford and Franklin took it to us on offense. I think that was the difference. Ford did a great job inside." Ford tallied 29 points and Franklin added 28 points and twenty caroms. Wilmore led the Wolverines with 26 points, thanks almost entirely to his second-half barrage, but continues to be pos- sibly the poorest-shooting All- American in the country with a 7-20 floor performance. Hank is shooting around 38 per cent for the current campaign. Johnson contributed 15 points, with many of his field goals com- ing as the flyer on Michigan's occasionally - effective fast-break. Touted as one of the best defen- sive forwards in the nation by his coaches, the Big E had his sneak- ers singed by Ford all afternoon. Several times during the first half and once early in the second Michigan seemed to be on the verge of taking control of the game, but each time either Ford or Franklin put the damper Fon. The Wolverines turned the ball over an unlucky thirteen times be- fore intermission. Orr summer up the frustrating game that dropped Michigan's Big Ten record to 5-2 with this com- ment: "We made a few mis- takes when we shouldn't have; things didn't bounce quite right when we were coming on; at that crucial time, they'd score. I think they (Purdue) played very well. We're really two strong boarding teams and I thought Ford and Franklin were outstanding today." -Associatea ress WAYNE GRABIEC reaches a sinewy arm over the shoulder of Purdue guard Tom Gilbert during yesterday's slap-happy- 84-74 Wolverine loss at West Lafayette.

With only 14 players dressed and available for duty, Coach Al Ren- frew's squad completed a sweep over the Tigers with its second straight four-point victory to boost it into an eighth place tie in the WCHA. Leading 6-3 with less than 12 minutes remaining in the third period, Michigan allowed Colorado to close the gap with a pair of quick goals, one while the Blue held a two-man advantage. But a break-away goal by Bob Falconer, set up with a brilliant pass from Julian Nixon, took most of the pressure off the Wolverine defense. Even a last minute Tiger goal, which was offset by two late Michigan tallies, added little to the outcome. Michigan came out skating like crazy in the first minute of the opening period, controlling the play almost exclusively. But it was the Tigers who scored first when Steve Sertich deflected a pass into the Michigan goal on Colorado's first break into Wolverine territory. It took only 20 seconds for the Blue to tie the score, however, when Rick Mallette fired a wrist shot over goalie Doug Schum's left shoulder on a semi-break set up by Falconer. Bernie Gagnon tallied his first of three goals for the night at 5:01 when he backhanded a re- bound off a Jerry Lefebvre shot past Schum with Colorado's Bob Winograd in the penalty box for slashing. Michigan's "Punch" Cartier went off for charging at 7:20 and the Tigers would have had a goal if it weren't for some sloppy stick- handling around the goal mouth. But when Gagnon was sent off elbowing at 9:46, it took only 31 seconds for Colorado's Mike Bertsch to knot the score at 2-2. Bertsch backhanded a rebound off a shot by Doug Palazzari into the corner of the goal. Randy Trudeau put the Wolver- ines ahead once again at 12:30 of the period when his slap shot from the right point slipped under Schum's foot and Michigan had a 3-2 lead at intermission. Late in the period Frank Wer- ner missed a chance to add to the total when he slipped and fell just after receiving a perfect pass from Bucky Straub on a two-on- one break when the Wolverines' were shorthanded. 33-80 18-23 BY PERIODS 28-68 18-23 19 74 ers At the outset of the second per- iod, league leading scorer Palaz- zari, tied the game for the final time for the Tigers when he col- laborated with Sertich on yet an- other two-on-one break at 1:50. Cartier returned to the box at 5:06 for roughing but Rick Mal- lette and Bob Falconer did an ex- cellent job of killing the penalty, forcing the play into, the Cold- rado end and even getting three. good shots on goal. Once again the Michigan power play took effect alter the Tigers' Mike Mallinger was sent off at 7:36 for interference. It took only 30 seconds for Gagnon to score his second goal, with most of the work being done by Cartier, who stickhandled through the en- tire Color'ado team before passing off to Bernie in front of the net. Michigan had a two man ad- vantage late in the period but failed to capitalize when Falconer was sent off almost immediately afterwards for afi illegal check, C.C. Rider FIRST PERIOD SCORING: 1.

GOALIE SAVES I -r "t " " -u - 'Japan sweeps ski jump medals; Schenk nets second skating gold By The Associated Press SAPPORO, Japan - Host Japan captured its first Winter Olympic goald medal ever and fleet Ard Schenk flashed to a record smash- ing victory for his second speed skating gold at the 11th Winter Games today.{ Russia's crack skiers claimed their second gold in the only other medal event scheduled for today. Yukio Kasaya sent the Japanese fans into a frenzy, taking the 70- meter ski jump with leaps of 275.58 and 264.10 feet while Em- peror Hirohito .watched. Japan swept the silver and branze medals for the event as well-the first nation to take all three places in any competition at these Games. Akitsugu Konno was second and Seiji Aochi third for the Japanese sweep. Schenk, the flying Dutchman who won the 5,000-meter race Fri- WIN day, shattered the Olympic stand- ard for the 1,500 meters, dashing around the rink in 2 minutes, 2.96 seconds. The time was well off Scehnk's own world record for the event of 1:58.70 but was good enough for his second gold. The silver medal went to Roar Gronvold of Norway in 2:04.26. Gronvold was also second to Schenk in the 5,000-meter. Swe- den's Goran Claesson took the bronze in 2:05.89. in the same event at Grenoble but was never challenged today, read- ing the race from start to finish. Other American finishers were Alison Owen of East Wenatchee, Wash., 35th in 38:50.05; Margie Mahoney of Anchorage, Alaska, 36th in 39:27.95 and Trina Hosmer of Santa Monica, Calif., 41st in 40:40.56. Later today, America's Jo Jo Strbuck and Ken Shelley of Dow- ney, Calif., began their medal WINTER OLYMPICS SAPPORO'72 HOOSIERS FINALLY N Bucks blast consin COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ninth ranked Ohio State survived a ca- reer-high 32 points by Leon How- ard and pulled away in the closing minutes yesterday for a 79-69 Big Ten basketball triumph over Wis- consin. The victory, the sixth in seven conference games for the Buck- eyes, kept them in the thick of the Big Ten race. Wisconsin fell to a 2-3 conference mark. Wardell Jackson and Dan Ger- hard, the only starting sophomores for Ohio State, led the late Buck- eye surge. Gerhard, who scored 19 " points, hit 13 of those in the sec- ond half, while Jackson, ,who had 18, put in 10 in the second half. Howard scored 15 straight points at one stretch in the first half and had 21 at halftime, when OSU, had a 36-34 lead, keeping thej Badgers in contention. 9-6 overall, while MSU is 2-4 and 9-7, respectively. Indiana led most of the way, building a 39-34 halftime lead. The Spartans cut the margin to 48-45 early in the second stanza, but never got closer as the Hoosiers led by as many as 15 points, 65-50. The game's high scorer was Spartan sophomore Mike Robinson with 31 points, three less than he scored against the Hoosiers last week. Gophers squeeze MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- Jim Brewer sank a field goal with 90 seconds to play and then a free throw with 12 seconds as the Min- nesota Gohpers overcame persist- ant Iowa 53-52 last night and kept their share of the Big Ten basket- ball lead with Ohio State. Brewer's three points gave the Gophers a 53-50 lead that stood up when Harold Sullinger scored a field goal for Iowa with one sec- ond to play. The victory gave Minnesota a 6-1 record in conference and 12-4 overall, and dropped Iowa to 1-5 and 7-9. It was, Minnesota's first home game since the free-for-all game against Ohio State Jan. 25, and there were no major incidents. However, the crowd of 16,784 gasped when Iowa's Kevin Kun- nert and Minnesota's Dave Win- field landed on the floor and squared off when they got to their feet. Cooler heads prevailed, how- ever. *. * * Wildcats tamed CHAMPAIGN, Ill.--C. J. Schroe- der converted 10 straight free throws in the final eight minutes yesterday to lehd Illinois to a 68- 59 Big Ten basketball victory over Schenk will try to complete an Olympic speed skating triple crown Monday in the 10,000-meter test. Salina Koulakova, a 29-year-old school teacher, gave the Soviets the gold medal in the women's 10- kilometer cross country race. She covered the 6.2 mile course in 34 minutes, 17.82 seconds, beating teammate Alevtina Olunina, who took the silver medal in 34.54.11. The bronze medal went to Fin- land's Marjatta Kajosmaa, who was timed in 34:56.45. The top American finisher was Martha Rockwell of Putney, Vt., who was timed in 36:34.22 for 16th place. Miss Koulakova's victory in the women's 10-kilometer event fol- lowed Vyacheslav Vedenin's tri- umph in the men's 30-kilometer cross country race on Friday.
