Thursday, March 25, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine Georgia Tech wrecks Michigan, 78-70 Against TheWai 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. :~~~~... ............ .w.;.....':>...... .>.. .a..oJ.. a..4 Special to the Daily By ELLIOT LEGOW 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 More Sports Page 7 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 high scoring offense with a simple1 man-to-man defense most of the way. Although he reverted to the zone at times, Tech's coach Whack Hy- daily spots NIGHT EDITOR: BOB ANDREWS 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 ~nked-us MICHIGAN Wilmore 8-18 2-4 10 18 Ford 4-11 0-0 7 8 Brady 9-13 2-2 8 20 Grabiec 3-10 0-0 2 6 Fife 3-7 0-0 3 6 They Yu GEORGIA TECH I Wilson Murphy Yunkus Samoylo Thorne Thompson Small fg 6-13 7-15 12-23 3-6 2-7 1-3 0-1 Team ft 3-4 2-2 3-5 4-4 4-6 0-1 0-0 r tp 3 15 6 16 16 27 2 10 6 8 6 2 0 0 4 Johnson Hayward Hart 1-3 11-1 3-6 Team Totals 32-69 1-2 5 0-0 2 1-1 0 3 6-9 37 3 2 7 70 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. Bonnies blast Bows, -7364 NEW YORK (P) -St. Bonaven- ture slammed the door on Hawaii's comeback kids behind Carl Jack- son's 13 second half points and a stubborn defense to grab a 73-64 college basketball victory last night and move into the semi- finals of the National Invitational Tournament.

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. 0 I ': I f . ; ; y; zih , " .
