A win, but
it could have been bigger
NEW YORK
MICHIGAN SHOULD HAVE blown Syracuse right out of Madi-
son 'Square Garden in last Sunday's N.I.T. opening round
game. The final score showed only a six-point difference between
the teams and it shouldn't have. The Wolverines had several op-
portunities to end the game long before the final buzzer, but they
just couldn't take advantage of them.
As coach Johnny Orr told the mob of reporters outside the
Michigan lockerroom, "We had a chance to blow them out
but we got fancy and blew it." Inside the lockerroom Ernie
Johnson added that, "Sure we tried to blow them out. We
could .have done it in the first half and skipped the rest but
they got a little spark and wouldn't die.
The Wolverine's first big chance to squash the Orange came
with about twelve minutes left in the first half. With the score
tied at 15 apiece Michigan ran off 13 straight points before Syra-
cuse scored again. With the score 28-15 Dan Fife fouled Tom
Green while going in for a fast break basket and that destroyed
the Michigan momentum. Syracuse closed to within eight before
the half ended with the Wolverines up by 10, 43-33.
Within two minutes of the start of the second half Ken Brady
picked up his fourth foul, and went to' the bench to watch the
Michigan lead evaporate. Johnson did a good job of keeping
Syracuse's center, Bill Smith, away from his offensive board,
but couldn't rebound with him on the other one.
The lead shrank to four before the Wolverines got rolling
again. They increased the lead back to 11, 60-49, but then
blew four chances to make it even bigger. Henry Wilmore
missed a jump shot, Fife threw the ball away, Ford missed a
free throw and Wilmore missed another shot in quick succes-
sion.
At that point their sloppyness only cost Michigan a chance
C for a 19 point lead, but it shdrtly allowed to Orange to get back in
the game. Wilmore and Fife both got caught walking with the
ball, and Ernie Johnson blew a layup and suddenly the match
became a real contest.
The Wolverine's also lost points at the free throw line in the
second period. After making 7 of 7 in the first half they couldn't
sink them when they needed them in the second. It hurt espe-
cially because they missed several times in bonus situations when
40they could have used the extra points to crush the Orange.
In addition to the Wolverines' failure to keep their game
together, the Orange also received help from the officials. The
New York referees were definitely not hospitable in the open-
ing minutes of the game.
At the end of the contest Syracuse had 22 personals to Michi-
gan's 21, but the totals are not an accurate reading of the fouls
called. Many of the Orangemen's 16 personals in the second half
were offensive fouls, which meant that the Wolverines didn't get
a chance at the line. Only one of the 22 fouls called on Michigan
was offensive, Syracuse went to the line for the other 21.
When the game began it appeared that the local refs were pre-
tared to do a New York hose Job on the Wolverines. Michigan
picked up five fouls, including two each on Ken Brady and Rod
Ford, before Syracuse picked up its first. The officials put the
Orange in the bonus situation with nine minutes left in the half
and when the horn sounded Michigan had 11 personals to Syra-
cuse's five.
The fouls were especially painful as two key players, Brady
and Fife, each had three by the end of the period. Brady picked
up his fourth at the beginning of the second half. With him on the
Pbench Smith, who hit for only eight in the opening 20 minutes, be-
gan hitting from inside and finished with 27.
Syracuse also began sweeping the boards, preventing the
second Michigan shot while ensuring their own. It wasn't that
Johnson played poorly because he didn't. He just didn't have the
size to fight with the bigger Smith.
Michigan also hurt themselves from the floor. They shot
well below their normal 45 per cent. Wilmore was only 9 for
25. As he said,. "I was missing shots that I usually don't miss."
Ford was only three for nine and Fife five for 12.
Wayne Grabiec was the only player whose shot was really
on. He hit 8 of 16 on the court and 5 for 5 at the line and 21 points.
His outside shooting saved Michigan from the Orange zone.
However, despite all the chances the Wolverines blew to
squeeze the Orange out into Seventh Avenue, they can't take all
the credit for not winning by a bigger margin. Syracuse, at times,
played very effectively, especially on defense.
Though Orr denied it, Syracuse's full court press gave the
Wolverines trouble. They lost the ball once when Wayne Grabiec
couldn't get the ball in bounds within five seconds and again when
they couldn't get it past half court in ten ticks. Syracuse also
picked off several passes and in general made nuisances of them-
selves.
According to Grabiec, "they pressed the ball real well. We
usually don't have problems with a press. Maybe we were
scared to make bad passes or something."
Fife conjectured that, "maybe it was just carelessness. We
made some sloppy, careless mistakes."

The Tar Heel s' victory at Madi-
son Square Garden earned them a
berth Thursday night against the
winner of tonight's third game be-

halftime lead to open a 59-49 spread
midway through the second half.
But Ernie DiGregorio, who
scored 18 of his 23 points in the
second half, led a Providence rally
that brought the Friars to within
five at 84-79 with less than 30 sec-
onds to play. But North Carolina's
slowdown tactics kept the ball
away from Providence for the most
part in the waning minutes.
Chamberlain added 19 points for
the Tar Heels, now 24-6, and Vic
Collucci had 17 for Providence. The
Friars finished 20-8.

victory last night and into the
semi-finals of the National Invita-
tion Basketball Tournament.
Duke's rebound power propelled
the Blue Devils into a 41-34 lead
late in the first half, but Tennes-
see's deliberate offense wiped that
out and the Volunteers closed the
gap to 41-40 on Dick Johnston's
layup at the buzzer.

half, scoring 14 points, blocking
numerous Tennessee shots and
picking off nine rebounds a n d

ACC teams ever to reach the semi-
finals.
Denton triggered the Blue Dev-
ils to a 10-point lead before Ten-
nessee made things interesting
with an 11-5 spurt that brought
the Vols within 64-60.
Duke's big center then cashed
inn a three-point play with 11/2
minutes left to give the winners
a safe 70-62 lead.

Ali drugged, doctor charges;
Bears' stadium bid doomed
By The Associated Press
0 CHERRY HILL, N.J. - Muhammad Ali termed as "silly"
and "ridiculous" yesterday a report by a British doctor that Ali
may have been doped in losing his heavyweight title fight to
Joe Frazier.
"I am not saying Clay doped himself," the doctor wrote, re-
ferring to Ali by his Christian and not his Muslim name. "He
could have been doped without knowing anything about it ...
In all the major fights I have seen Clay I have never seen him
move soslowly."

* CHICAGO - The Big Ten has rejected for a second
time Northwestern University's proposal to play in Dyche Sta-
dium.
The action Sunday doomed for the foreseeable future the
Bears' hopes of moving their National League home games to
Dyche Stadium and did nothing to lessen the financial plight of
Northwestern.
