The Michigan Wolverines, sit-
ting all alone atop the Big Ten
with an 8-0 record, will face
their sternest test of the season
~ght when they battle third-
place Indiana at Bloomington.
Both teams put winning streaks
on the line tonight: Michigan has
now won its last nine, Indiana
its last four. The teams rank 1-2
in Big Ten offense, with the edge
to Michigan at 89.1 to 87.
-iichigan blew Minnesota off
the floor 108-90 Saturday in one
of its most awesome performances
of the year. The Wolverines, led
by Henry Wilmore and guards
Dan Fife and Wayne Grabiec,
scorched the cords at a 59 per
cent rate in a performance which
le the luckless Gophers cring-
ing.
Wilmore, Michigan's 6-3 A 11-
American candidate, came up with

NIGHT EDITOR:
JOEL GREER
a big 33-point Saturday after a
series of sub-par efforts. The mo-
bile forward punctured Minne-
sota's lackluster zone with out-
side bombs, then wormed inside in
his usual foul-drawing unstopp-
able way.
Henry will face his sophomore
nemesis Geoorge McGinnis for the
second time tonight. The two
staged a scoring duel in Ann Ar-
bor January 17 as McGinnis top-

ped Wilmore 37-35 but Michigan
won the game 92-81
MccGinnis has been rolling
along merrily all season, trading
off as the Big Ten scoring leader
with first Wilmore and now Iowa's!
Fred Brown. Few college players
can match his stats of 32 points
and 15.8 rebounds a game; few
defenders can control his finesse
moves and 6-7, 235-pound power.
But while Indiana's offensive
attack flows from McGinnis'
hands, it is also hampered by his
sometimes lackadaisical play. Mc-
Ginnis' inability to get back on
defense in the first Michigan
game may have cost his team the
game; too many of the 37 points
he scored were neutralized by
Michigan's quick fast break.
The number two man in the
Indiana attack is center Joby
Wright, who backed up McGinnis
with 25 in Indiana's lossto Mich-
igan. Wright's tussle with Mich-
igan's Ken Brady should provide
some fireworks tonight and some
answers as to just how much
Brady has improved since the first
Indiana game.
Other important faces in the
Hoosier lineup are guards J i m
Hars and Ed Daniels, swingman
John Ritter, forward Rick Ford
and center Steve Downing.

Downing appeared only briefly in; Saturday's juicing of the Goph-
the first Michigan game and ers were performances worthy of
showed little. a Big Ten champion.
Indiana's four-game w I n n i n g The continued excellence of the
streak is somewhat deceptive, as
most of the wins were by only a starting five and the maturation
few points. Last Saturday t h e of Harry Hayward as a third
Hoosiers squeaked by self-de- guard are factors which should
structing Illinois 88-86 in typi- stand Michigan in good stead in
cally unimpressive style. '

is growing stronger and looking
more devastating with every game.

DOLPHINS GET 15TH:
Tarheels drop FSU

New editors tabbed;
prohibition revived
GAS CITY, Ind.-The dearly departed senior sports editors
last night made official the new appointments for senior editors
%for 1971-72.
Replacing Eric Siegel as sports editor is Mort Noveck, the
greatest authority on lime jello on this campus.
Assisting him will be Jim Kevra, executive sports editor; Rick
Cornfeld, associate sports editor; Terri Fouchey, contributing
sports editor and Betsy Mahon, senior night editor.
The common denominator uniting the group is that they all
joined the staff as an attempt to escape from boredom. Whether
or not they succeeded is moot.
Noveck, who has been a night editor for two many years, is a
junior economics major from Detroit. During his service as the
Daily's head basketball and spring football writer, Michigan
achieved unparalleled success in harness racing. He has also saved
Associated Press and United Press International from the igno-
miny of being without football and basketball correspondents.
Kevra, as personable a young lad as ever existed, is a pro-
fessional student from Detroit. Although he has never taken a
course in Asian Studies, he admitted that someday he would like
to. His high point with the Daily was being named head of the
golf beat last March.
Cornfeld is a junior in American Culture from University City,
Mo., and the only non-Detroiter on the staff. His articles have
made the lives of readers of the Sporting News and St. Louis Post-
Dispatch brighter. It is perhaps significant that the hockey team
started going downhill when Cornfeld took over as head of the
hockey beat.
Fouchey, a junior majoring in sociology, has been the head
feature writer and will continue to punch the typewriter keys
until her fingers get skinned. She won second prize in the Daily's
*'annual sports feature writing competition a year ago. The contest
was then discontinued.a
Mahon (pronounced, "Mahon") is also a junior majoring in
sociology. She became a night editor in September and is current-
ly head of the gymnastics beat. She unabashedly admits to living
with another member of the sports staff.
Noveck, who was unavailable for comment last night, said,
"Since I joined the Daily, I've had one overriding ambition and
now I've achieved it. I finally got my very own Daily parking
sticker."
Friday's game between Yeshiva University and Dropsy Col-
lege had to be suspended when the sun set ahead of schedule.

Harris led the Hoosiers in scor-
ing last year with an 18.2 mark
but has passed the offensive torch
too McGinnis and fallen into a
scoring doldrums. Daniels, a 6-4
prodouct of Savannah, Georgia,
lends depth to the backcourt along
with Ritter and sophomore Boot-
sie White.
Coach Lou Watson had high
hopes for 6-8 soph Steve Down-
ing when the war began but an
inquiry nailed Downing to the
bench for much of the early sea-
son. The injury has hampered his
progress and prevented him fromJ
adding much to the attack;

By The Associated Press;
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Eighth-
ranked North Carolina used a
tough zone defense and revived
rebounding last night to erase a
first half Florida State lead and!
drop the Seminoles 70-61 in an
intersectional basketball game.
The Tarheels, 18-1 overall, fell!
behind by as many as nine points,
21-12 midway in the first half,
mainly on the shooting of ESU's
Ron King, who scored 21 points.
Trailing 35-34 at the half, North
Carolina's Bill Chamberlain scor-
ed the first two buckets of the
second half to put the Tar Heels
ahead to stay with 16% minutes
left to play.
