Letting them tae . .
. . target practice
By JOHN PAPANEK
Special To The Daily
NEW YORK
You give a man enough room and he'll beat you.
So went the story of the Wolverine's loss last night to
Georgia Tech in the NIT quarter-finals.
Playing in a typically un-Michigan like style, the Wol-
verines bored 9,442 fans at Madison Square Garden in what
coach John Orr called "one of our poorest games of the year."
Michigan played the entire game in a man for man de-
fense, but all too often a Yellowjacket got free for target
practice. Throw in with that sloppy offense, poor shooting,
forced shots and you have the makings of a lousy game.
Henry Wilmore, who had one of his more lack-luster nights
was guilty time and again for leaving his man, Bob Murphy,
wide open for 15-foot jumpers. Rod Ford, who usually draws
accolades as a top defensive forward, allowed his man, Tommy
Wilson to almost double his 8.1 points per game average with
15 .
Meanwhile, George Tech's superman Rich Yunkus was
continually getting around Ken Brady.
Cazzie Russell, late of Michigan fame and later of New York
Knicks fame, was among the few Wolverine rooters in the
crowd last night. "I was pretty disappointed that they lost,"
Cazzie said. "I think that they could have been a lot more
aggressive out there.
"I'll tell you, that Brady is big and tough, but he let him-
self get moved out a little too much. A skinny guy like Yunkus
-he should have eaten that guy up."
Asked about "the comparisons of him and Wilmore, Russell
sighed, "Man, Henry's got some moves I'd like to borrow for
tomorrow (the Knicks' playoff opener). Henry's just a sopho-
more and he and Brady have the potential to be really top
players. He's just got to learn a little more control with his
body."
"I give our team a lot of credit," said Tech Coach Wack
Hyder. "They adjusted real well to Michigan's tough man for
man defense which has made quite a reputation."
The Yellowjackets had quite a bit of success with their own
defense, which held the Wolverines to just 70 points, which
matches their low for the season.
"We had two defenses we used tonight," Hyder saId. "We
started with a 2-1-2 zone, but they closed in on it pretty
well."
"The other was our 'scatter and pray 1-3-1,' " added Yunkus,
and it worked pretty well. "Michigan was a real tough team, the
toughest we've faced except for Kansas."
Orr made some pretty strange strategy moves last night-
at least, he did things that he hadn't done before. One was
pulling Ford in favor of Ernie Johnson, early in the first
half.
"I just thought Rodney wasn't playing well and I wanted
him out of there," Orr said.
For a fleeting moment it looked as though this was the
move that Orr should have made many times over the season.
Johnson was getting inside to cover the boards while Brady
was being forced out by Yunkus. He drew an offensive foul
from Wilson and even turned in a spectacular whirling move
under the basket for two points.
But Ernie has not yet been able to overcome the problem
of stopping his feet along with the rest of his body. In the
space of four minutes, Johnson was called for traveling three
times.
Nothing the Wolverines could do seemed to work. Still,
Hyder and the Yellowjackets would not give up. Yunkus was
hurried back into the game atfer injuring his wrist, and the
engineers still hustled for every point.
"I heard what that team (Michigan) did to Ohio State,"
said Hyder. They were way out of it and came back to tie. This
was a big game and I was taking no chances.
"I was also a little worried because they were used to all
that northern food here. I asked for hominy grits, but couldn't
get 'em."
A lethargic Orr summed up his feeling. "I'm just sorry
you guys couldn't get to see us play the way we're capable of,
in either game, and I hope we don't have to come back here
next year." I wonder if he had any other place in mind.

NEW YORK -- Michigan's
most successful basketball sea-
son in five years came to an
abrupt end last night as the
Wolverines were defeated, 78-
70, by Georgia Tech in the
quarterfinals of the National
Invitational Tournament.
Outplayed throughout, t h e
lethargic Wolverines ended
their season with a 19-7 record
but made an inconspicuous
showing as the first Big Ten
team to be selected to partici-
pate in an NIT.
The Yellowjackets were led by
Rich Yunkus, their 6-9 center who

scored 27 points and pulled down
16 rebounds and by a strong de-
fense which kept Michigan from
getting many open shots.
In the first half Michigan did
have the .good shots to take, but
couldn't make good on them as the
Yellowjackets took, a 33-31 half-
time lead. '
Michigan Coach Johnny Orr was
disappointed by his team's play
and went to the bench early to try
to find the right combination to
overcome the smaller and slower
Yellowjackets.
Orr pulled Rodney Ford after
only eight minutes of play after
Ford's loose defense allowed the
Yellowjackets to hit several easy
buckets as they pulled to a 15-9
lead.
Ernie Johnson, who spelled
Ford, helped out on thehboards but
made several mistakes of his own,
turning the ball over on three trav-
eling calls and one dropped pass.
Michigan's leading scorer this
season, Henry Wilmore was also
benched by Orr in the first half;
as he was also guilty of several
defensive lapses.
The only good offensive perform-
er for the Wolverines was center
Ken Brady who led the point pr.-
duction with 20 points, two more
than Wilmore. Orr thought that
Brady played very well, but Mich-
igan's big man was outrebounded
by Yunkus 16-8.
Georgia Tech succeeded where
many other teams had failed in
controlling the. Wolverines' usually

der credited the "help-out man-to-
man defense" with effectively sty-
mying Michigan in the second
stanza.
Tech pulled out of the tight half-
time lead in the first three minutes
of the second half to up their lead
to 43-35. From then on Michigan
was never able to get closer than
three points as Tech matched
them basket for basket.
Wilmore came to life for a few
minutes in the half, hitting five of
Michigan's first eight fielders.
But with little help from his

teammates, Wilmore could pull
Michigan only to 50-47.
Wilmore failed to hit again in
the game and the Wolverines'
chances for a victory disappeared
as no one took up the slack. Orr
tried some more player switches
but again to no avail.
He pulled Ford with four minutes
to go and Tech on top 64-58 and
tried a three guard offense. But
Dan Fife's fifth foul two minutes
later put an end to that experi-
ment.
Then Orr tried to play without
a center as he substituted for
Brady, but by then the Jackets
were home free as they advanced
to the NIT semifinals tonight
against St. Bonaventure.
Tech proved that it is not a one
man team as three other starters
joined Yunkus in double figures.
Peanuts Murphy hit for 15 de-
spite a bad cough and an upset
stomach and Tommy Wilson added
15 with some{ good outside shoot-
ing.
No One beside Wilmore and
Brady hit in double figures for
Michigan and Rod Ford and Dan
Fife closed out their Michigan ca-
reers with only 8 and 6 points, re-
spectively.

Michigan golf moved into full
swing yesterday as the touring
Wolverine 1 i n k s m e n trekked
through the opening round of the
Miami Intercollegiate Invitational
Open. The first round results are
about what was expected prior to
the beginning of the tournament.
Michigan golfers had a good day,
finishing their rounds with a four
man total of 295, low enough for
fifth place in the standings. The
leaders, by a vast margin are the
Florida Gators, with a total score
of 262, an average of 65.5 per man.
Two Gator golfers, Andy North
and Gary Kock, shot incredible
65s, one stroke off the course re-
cord on the par 71 course. The
second place team, Miami, com-
pleted the opening round 25 strokes
behind their cross-state rival at
287.
Third and fourth places also went
to Florida squads, Western Flori-
da and Biscayne College, which
checked in with totals of 292 and
294 respectively.
Under tournament rules, six duf-
fers from each squad qualify by
surviving a qualifying round and
participate for the record. At the
end of each round, the four lowest
scores for each team are counted.
The best round by a Michigan
golfer was turned in by Gary Bal-
liet, with a one under par 70. Un-
fortunately, Balliet didn't qualify
in the preliminary round and his
performance was not figured into
the Michigan score.
Rocky Pozza shot a 72, for the
top score of a competing Wolver-
ine, followed by Jim Robson at
73, Dan Hunter at 74 and Neil Spi-
talny at 76.
In all, Coach Bill Newcombe was.
pleased with his charges' show=
ing, and with two days of compe-
tition remaining, a third place
finish is not out of reach.
