Purdue
survives

... fail miserably
By AL HRAPSKY
WEST LAFAYETTE
N BASKETBALL, as in war, battle plans often look better on
the drawing board than when translated into practice.
Johnny Orr, the well known basketball theorist, invaded the
state of Indiana with two strategems in his arsenal that would
have been better off left at home. For the first time this year,
his Michigan Wolverines opened with a zone defense.
The Wolverines also unleashed a three-guard lineup con-
sisting of Steve Grote, Dave Baxter and Joe Johnson at the end
of yesterday's first half.
The Wolverines, who have had to overcome a height dis-
advantage all year, went right to a zone in the first minutes
of play, trying to bottle up the taller Boilermakers. The
plan backfired, however, as Purdue pierced the zone with
hot outside shooting, and out-rebounded Michigan 21-10 in the
first twenty minutes.
Fred Schaus, coach of the fired-up Purdue quintet, surprised
by Orr's new defensive strategy, said he was pleased by the
way his team handled the zone.
"We didn't work against a zone defense all week. In fact,
George Faerber (assistant coach and scout) was really im-
pressed with their man to man."
When Wayman Britt picked up his third foul, with about six
minutes left in the first period, Orr inserted Baxter in the lineup,
hoping to catalyze the Michigan fast break.
"Grote is a good rebounder, and we needed more quickness
to get us running," said Orr. "We figured they could bring the
ball up the floor better."
But this innovation didn't work. Freshman Wayne Walls, 6-6,
sophomore Gerald Thomas, 6-7, and senior John Garrett, 6-1,
continued to dominate the boards.
Schaus didn't analyze Michigan's strategy in the way Orr
had intended.
"It just gave them another shooter in the lineup, but we
have enough quickness in the corners, so it didn't bother us,"
he said. "I kinda liked it In a way because it helped our re-
bounding a lot."
Orr rationalized the 1-2-2 zone defense as an attempt to pre-
pare for the even taller Indiana squad Michigan must face to-
morrow. But the quickness of Jordan and Walls completely undid
Michigan's zone.
Time and again, Purdue's forwards broke loose under the
hoop to score uncontested layups, and Michigan failed to recover.
Even when Michigan's defense stiffened, the slow-down
tactics of guards Bruce Parkinson and Eugene Parker forced
Johnson and Grote to come out of the zone. At one point, at
the end of the first half, the referee warned Johnson that he had
to come out and check Parker, or he'd be hit with a technical.
Purdue also used the oldest and most effective strategy
for breaking a zone defense - hot shooting. Parkinson, who
usually hits about 38 per cent from the floor, blistered the
Wolverine defenses with excellent perimeter bombing.
The junior guard, subpar in the last few games, explained'
the drastic' changes he's made to crack his slump.
"I've tried a lot of things to correct what's wrong with my
shot," Parkinson said. "I've been concentrating on pulling up
and shooting instead of taking it all the way in."
"When you hit your first few shots," Parkinson added, "it's
easier to put the ball up there." In fact, his shooting forced Mich-
igan to switch back to its man-to-man defense in the last few
minutes of the opening period.
Although Orr's attempts to jazz up his game plan failed
badly, another Michigan weakness stood out just as clearly-I
atrocious offense from the forward positions.
Britt managed only six points, barely half his season's aver-
age, while John Robinson went scoreless. Substitutes Rick White
and Joel Thompson couldn't do much better, adding three and
two points, respectively.
In comparison, Purdue's cornermen produced 33 points while
outrebounding their counterparts 33-16.
Lack of height and rebounding strength has plagued the
Wolverines all season, proving fatal against Indiana, Minne-
sota, and now Purdue. If Michigan is to have any chance for
a strong finish in the Big Ten, and a possible berth in the NIT
as an at-large team, Johnny Orr's ouija board will have to start
giving some better answers.

Parkinson broke a season-long
scoring slump and sophomore
forward Gerald Thomas came
off the bench to dominate the
boards, as the Purdue Boiler-
makers sped past the Michigan
Wolverines 75-67 yesterday.
Parkinson, averaging 12 points
per game and shooting 38 per
cent from the floor going into
yesterday's game, broke loose
for 22 points, hitting nine of 14
shots. Thomas, who had been
laid low by mononucleosis, grab-
bed a game high nine rebounds
and chipped in 12 points.
Hoping to contain their tall-
er foes, the Wolverines opened
the game in a 1-2-2 zone de-
fense. But in the early go-
ing, the caroms went the
wrong w a y s, and Purdue
scored three times off offen-
sive rebounds.

Freshman Harley Danner's superb per-
formance in the all-around competition led
the Michigan gymnastics squad to a re-
sounding defeat of injury-plagued Ohio State
yesterday, 207.50 to 191.80.
Danner outperformed the Buckeyes' su-
perb all-around competitor, Chuck Ewing,
amassing 51.90 points to Ewing's 51.45.
Wolverine Bruce Medd edged Bruce Kee-
shin, also of Michigan, to take third place in
the all-around.
M I C H I G A N 'S P O I N T total,
however, wasn't as impressive as Loken
would like it to be. "There tends to be a
letdown when the competitors aren't as keen
as we expect, due to the loss of some of their
key men," the Wolverine coach lamented.
The meet started with Michigan executing
a sweep of the first three places in the floor
exeurcises. Sncialist Randvu Sakamoto fin-
Smallenbarger tied for third place.
DANNER PLACED first in vaulting, ahead
of Ewing and Gary Maulding of OSU, who
tied for second.
On the parallel bars, Danner again topped
the field, finishing ahead of Buckeye Gary
Peters. Keeshin and Bob Johnson of Michi-
gan tied for third.
The parallel bars provided the only dis-
appointment of the day for the Wolverine
gymnasts, however, as they had fewer team
points than OSU in this event. "Our parallel
bar routines need much improvement," said
Loken after the match.
THE WOLVERINES polished off the Buck-
eyes with another sweep, on the high bar.
Bob Darden, Keeshin, and Medd finished in
that order.

afternoon at Matt Mann pool.
The Wolverines, bouncing back from Friday night's loss to
Indiana, upped their dual meet record to 6-2.
Michigan coach Gus Stager used the meet to shift some of
his swimmers around, giving them the opportunity to swim in
some different strokes and have some fun," Stager said. "I
thought we had good, steady, decent swims."
The Toronto "Blues" jumped out to a quick lead by win-
ning the 400-yard medley relay but after that it was all down-
hill for the visitors.
Michigan freshmen Jim Black and Curt Wilson finished
one-two on the one meter board with Black racking up 268.8
points.
