By The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Giant
Artis Gilmore smashed a late
Florida State rally of six straight
points last night to spark the sixth-
,nked Jacksonville Dolphins to a'
90-73 basketball victory.
FSU, down 48-37 at half time,
closed the gap to 74-73 with 6:42
to play, but Gilmore sank a field
goal, connected on two free throwsI
and hit another goal to run Jack-
sonville's lead to a safe 80-73 with
4:05 to play.
The victory raised Jacksonville's
season record to 19-2, and dropped
the smaller Seminoles to 16-7. It
was the third straight victory over
their central state rivals.
Gilmore, connecting mostly in
e clutch, scored 22 points and
as boss of the back boards -with
25 rebounds.

By MIKE TREBLIN
The Big Ten basketball season
is now half over and the race for
the championship narrows down
to two teams, Michigan (7-0) and
Ohio State (6-1).
The Buckeyes have an impres-
sive record so far this year. Aside
from their 6-1 in conference play
they have a very respectable 12-5
overall record, second only to the
Wolverines. Their consistent play
in the first half of the season has
paid off with a poll ranking this
week, besides Michigan's, the only
one gained by a Big Ten club.
While Michigan and Ohio State
have been accumulating fine rec-
ords, the remaining Big Ten teams
have been floundering for the
most part.
Although Illinois and Indiana
have incurred only two losses, one
each came at the hands of Mich-
igan and Ohio State. Illinois' most
recent loss was last week to Ohio
State by the, very lopsided score
of 92-72.
These two clubs can't match the
offense of the Wolverines and
Buckeyes. To date, Illinois and
Indiana have scored 491 and 510
points, respectively in Big Ten
play, as compared to 635 for Mich-
igen and 567 for Ohio State. In
fact it's only Illinois' fine defense
which has given up only 472 points
this season that has kept them as
high as they are in the standings.
Purdue and Iowa follow in the
standings with three losses each,
4-3 and 3-3 respectively. The Boil-
ermakers have received two of
their losses at the hands of Mich-
igan, one of which was last Satur-
day by the score of 81-74.
Iowa's Hawks, last year's Big
Ten champs suffered a hard loss
Saturday when Illinois overtook
them with three seconds remain-
ing to salvage a 86-84 victory.
Neither of these teams have the
offensive punch or defense neces-
sary to make a run for it. Purdue
has scored only two more points
than it has given up, 552-550, and
Iowa has scored only three more,
506-503.
The remaining clubs have just
not been able to put it together
this season. Michigan State, 2-5,
is suffering through another frus-
trating season. Although they
handed Ohio State its only loss
on Jan. 30, they have not been
able to gain any kind of momen-
tum.
The slumping Badgers of Wis-
consin (1-5) were the victims in
the first victory chalked up by the
h a p 1 e s s Northwestern Wildcats
(1-6), Saturday by a 101-91 score.
Rounding out the standings is
Minnesota (1-6) which also gain-
ed its first victory last weekend
by beating Michigan State 97-86
in Minneapolis.

The Bucks' remaining schedule against the Gophers of Minnesota
is regarded as the easier of the in a rematch, and Ohio State do-

Badgers
By RICK CORNFELD
The University of Wisconsin
doesn't make things too easy for
hockey teams visiting its ice rink,
as Michigan learned in dropping a
two-game set last weekend.,
Chances are the Wolverines
would have lost them both, any-
way, but there seems to be a con-
*erted effort to harrass Badger
opponents.
Those most active in the effort,
the public address announcer and
the Badger pep band, have a lot
to work with. The plush Dane
County Coliseum draws some of
the largest college hockey crowds
-1 the country.
In fact, Saturday night a record
crowd of 8,234 turned out to watch
Michigan's W e s t e r n Collegiate
Hockey Association cellar dwellers.
Fortunately for Michigan the pep.
band was at Wisconsin's basket-
ball game in Evanston, for the
.and, playing throughout Badger
contests, would raise the -roof off
less architecturally sound struc-
tures.
As one Badger fan said, "You
ain't seen nothing unless you've
seen what the band can do."
It may be a coincidence, but Fri-
.liay with the band participating,
the Wolverines were completely
disgraced, 7-2. Saturday, without
the band, they were in the game all
the way, though losing, 4-1.
But if the band was absent, pres-
ent was the public address anuoun-
cer. described as "little league" by
ichigan coach Al Renfrew and as
"bush" by Wisconsin's Bob John-
son.
The announcer must have thought
he was master of ceremonies at a
circus. Anytime a spectator might
have forgotten what the announ-
cer's voice sounded like, he only
ad to wait a second.
At least half a dozen times the
announcer reminded the crowd that
a win would clinch a playoff berth
for the Badgers.

fans harass cers

Several other times he simply
told the people they weren't cheer-
ing loud enough and should do a
better job.
Renfrew said after the game he
didn't think the announcing affect-
ed his team's play, but it is signi-
ficant that his first comment after
the contest was to complain about
it.
The )announcer's work at least
could be credited to home team
fanaticism, and so probably could
the actions of the official scorer.
At least,' it is not nice to make
any hints about dishonesty.
Maybe the guy couldn't count,
but the scorer credited Michigan
with only 17 shots Saturday, a total
both coaches disagreed with. He
gave the Wolverines five shots in
the second period, although they
were peppering the Badger goal in
the first half of the frame. "I
thought we had at least 10 shots,"
Renfrew said, in which was prob-
ably an understatement.
The Wolverines offense could
have been better, but giving credit
for so few shots is almost like go-
ing for a two-point conversion with
a 34 point lead.
Even without all the artificial
props, Badger fans had plenty to
cheer about. The locals consider
their team one of the nation's
powers because of the two games.
They're wrong, of course. Michigan
brings out the best in everybody.
Michigan, itself, showed the er-
ratic play that has marked the en-
tire season. "Those kids are play-
ing their hearts out and it's ready
a shame," Renfrew said.
WCHA Standingsq

Saturday, Michigan did rhow
spirit, but Friday it did not. Except
for a few high points, like a bril-
liant breakaway goal by Bernie
Gagnon, the Wolverines all but
played dead.
Even goalie Karl Bagnell, usual-
ly competent in goal, was off his
normal game.
Further hampering Wolverine
efforts were shoulder injuries to
Punch Cartier and Rick Jackson,
causing them to miss Saturday's
encounter.
Renfrew said he expects Cartier
back for this weekends series
against Notre Dame, but he wasn't
sure about Jackson.
The weekend loss makes theI
Wolverines a good bet to finish iast
in the WCHA, which means stay-
ing home when everybody else is
participating in the league play-
offs.
"We've still got a chance to
make the playoffs," Renfrew said.
"The team to beat is Colorado Col-
lege (which ,s three and a half
games in front of the Wolverines).
We've got to win three out of ourI
next four."
Aiding the Wolverine cause is
Colorado's schedule, which includes
Michigan State, Denver and Mich-
igan Tech.

MIAMI BEACH P) - Muham-
mad Ali says he will request that
15 referees be assigned to work
his championship fight with Joe
Frazier because "there ain't. no
one man who can keep up with the
pace I'm gonna set, except me."
Ali, who is training here for the
March 8 battle in New York,
said, "I want a fresh referee for
every round. Besides, this fight is
going all the way. I'm training for
15 rounds."
Ali's prediction that the fight
will go the distance surprised
many of his followers who are ac-
customed to his forecasts of a
knockout.
"I am going to punish Joe Fraz-
ier for 15 rounds because he needs
punishing," said the 29-year-old
former champion.

"He ain't got no respect. I told
him the day we signed for the
fight I would punish him for call-
ing me Clay. I'm going to punish
him for calling himself the cham-
pion, too."
Ali, who won the championship
in 1964 as Cassius Clay, said Fraz-
ier "won't get one good shot at
me."
He said: "Things are going to
happen so fast, Joe Frazier won't
be able to keep up with them.
"Referees will be running in
and out of the ring, people will be
singing and dancing in the aisles
and when it's all over, Muhammad
Ali will take his rightful place as
champion of the world.
