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." Hawaii edges Sooners in NIT, Duke, By The Associated Press NEW YORK - Big Bob Nash rifled in a field goal and little Tom Newell threw in two killing free throws in the second overtime to pace scrappy Hawaii to an 88-87 victory over Oklahoma in the first round of the National Invitation Basketball Tournament last night.

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- tween Tennessee and Duke. With Chadwick and Bill Cham- berlain leading the charge, the Tar Heels broke away from a 37-34 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. Blue Devils blaze NEW YORK -Brutish R a n d y Denton bedeviled Tennessee with 32 points and 17 rebounds to lead the Duke Blue Devils to a 78-64 victory last night and into the semi-finals of the National Invita- tion Basketball Tournament.

"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 ...
