ney, upset Purdue 69-55 last
night in a Big Ten basketballs
game.I
The loss left Purdue in a sec-'

the hands of No. 1 Indiana.
Northwestern set the pace
from the start and moved to a
20-9 lead in the first half only
to have Purdue chop the ad-
vantage to 32-30 at the half.
The Boilermakers, who earlier;
in the season defeated North-
western in overtime at Purdue,
managed three leads in the sec-
ond half at 41-39, 45-44 and 47-46
but each time Northwestern
battled back to go ahead.
The Wildcats finally went
ahead 48-47 to stay on a basket
by McKinney with less than
nine minutes to play.
With McKinney getting scor-
ing help from Willie Williams
and Greg Wells, the Wildcats

Gophers gutted'
MINNEAPOLIS-Juniors Scott'
May and Quinn' Buckner led:
poised Indiana, the nation's No.
1 team, to a 69-54 Big Ten vic-
tory over Minnesota last night.
The 6-foot-7 May scored 26
points and Buckner added 18.
They combined for 25 points and
grabbed eight of the Hoosiers'
15 rebounds in the first half as
Indiana moved to a 35-32 advan-
tage by intermission.
Indiana went into a can-
trolled offense with 8:05 re-
mgining in the contest after
taking a 56-46 lead and Min-'
nesota, frustrated with a dis-
ciplined Hoosier offensive at-I
tack, couldn't catch up before
17,637 hometown fans.
The Hoosiers never trailed in
the game. Minnesota did rallyl
from a. 9-2 deficit to temporarily
deadlock the game at 14-14 be-
fore the stylish-shooting May
drilled a pair of long-range
jumpshots to help Indiana take
command.
Minnesota's leading scorer on
the season, Mark Lansberger,
was limited to two field gcals1
by May.

Hawkeyes humbled
IOWA CITY-Ohio State with-
held a late Iowa rally and beat
the. Hawkeyes 75-69 in a Big
Ten Conference basketball game
last night.
The Buckeyes, who w e r e
playing without starters Mark
Bayless and Steve Wenner, had
a 20-point lead with just less
than 11 minutes in the game.
Iowa rallied to cut that lead
to 64-59 with 3:30 left an.] :hen
got as close as 68-65 with 1:30
to play.
But Ohio State's Dan Wes-
ton made five of six free
throws in the last minute to{
give the Buckeyes their sixth
conference victory of the year
against a like number of de-
feats.
"Iowa was a lot more up-
tempo in the first game at Co-
iNmbis." said Ohio State Coavh
Fred Taylor. "We wanted to
slow it down here.
"I'd say . . . because of the
emotional turmoil . . . this
was a satisfving victory out
here tonight."
T a y 1 o r suspended starters
Bayless and Wenner, as w ll as
top-line reserves Andy Stiege-
mier and Terry Burris, after

ment on the suspensions other
than to say they were for ds-
ciplinary reasons.

Charitable Champ
Heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali said yesterday heI
will give his profits from all future fights to charitable groups.
"From this fight on, all my fights will be free," Ali said at
a news conference to formally announce his title defense against
Chuck Wepner March 24 at the Cleveland Coliseum.
"All the profits I make from the Chuck Wepner fight will be
given away to groups like the NAACP, the Negro College Fund
and the Black Muslims," said the champion.
In outlining his plan to distribute his future fight winnings,
Ali said.
"From here on out, in all my championship fights, I don't
want nothing but what it costs to train. I'll start with Wepner
after I have paid my taxes and paid everybody."
Ali, who is guaranteed $1.5 million to fight Wepner, admitted
that his giveaway program would have to be carefully coordinated
and supervised.
"It might run into complications because there are a few
greedy promoters," he added.
"I feel real guilty," Ali said. "The money I make is so easy.
Fightin' George Foreman was an easy $5 million. Fightin' Chuck
Wepner will be an easy million and a half."
Fame is the name of the game
Judy Johnson, who has been called the Negro Pie Traynor,
was tabbed for induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame by a
special committee on the Negro Leagues, yesterday. A third
baseman, Johnson's lifetime batting average exceeded .340, hit
.392 for the Philadelphia Hilldale Daisies in 1925.
"When I heard about it," said the 75-year-old Johnson,
"well, if you had cut off my feet, I think I would have floated
right up through the roof. I felt so good, I could have cried."
Johnson, whose career spanned twenty years, will be inducted
to the hall in August, along with Ralph Kiner, Bucky Harris, Billy
Herman and Earl Averill.
Oriole owner?
BALTIMORE ()-Mayor William Donald Schaefer, stymied
in his efforts to find a buyer for baseball's Orioles who is willing
to keep the team in Baltimore, threatened legal action yester-
day to prevent any shift of the franchise.
It has been reported that New Orleans interests, who
seek a team to play in the nearly completed Superdome, are
willing to pay as much as $14 million.j
"I wish to serve notice to any prospective buyer from out-
side Baltimore, and on the American League, and on the com-
missioner of baseball, that they face a determined and re-
sourceful city committed to prevent a move," the mayor said.
In effect, the threatened legal and congressional action
would be one more roadblock facing any prospective out-of-town
buyer, who also would have to get league approval to move the
franchise.

In other Wolverine basketball
action, the Michigan women's
JV team lost to the Adrian
JV's, 56-30. Adrian jumped offI
to a 10-2 lead, and that opening
spree set the tempo for the
contest. Michigan coach Mary
Ellen Ranker's squad outre-
bounded their opponents and
had more shots, but the hoop-'
sters were unable to overcome
their cold shooting, hitting only1
18 per cent from the field.
Diane Mettelman, Mary Borst,
and Katie Brady scored 6 points
each for Michigan. Sue Heidle-
baugh led Adrian with 11.
The next home action is Feb-
ruary 26 when Michigan hosts
Spring Arbor at Crisler Arena.
JV game time is 6:30 p.m., with"
the varsity contest starting
around 8:00.
BLUE ICERS STILL 6TH
Weekend
By BRIAN DEMING
THE MICHIGAN hockey team
snapped its tedious string of
inconsistencies last weekend,
by putting a pair of losses to-
gether against Colorado Col-
lege, 8-4 and 4-3.
By dropping the two games,
the Wolverines, failed to split
a series, for the first time in
six weeks.
The losses leave Michigan al-
most assured of not finishing
fourth place and therefore not
gaining a home playoff spot.
"The way we've been playing,
we don't deserve to be better
than we are," Coach Dan Far-
rell conc° -, talking about
Michigan's lowly position in the
WCHA.
The dekers maintain their
stranglehold on sixth place and
no matter what happens this
weekend against North Dako-
ta they will remain there.
Friday night against the
Tigers the loss of goalie Rob-
bie Moore early in the sec-
ond period handicapped the
Wolverines. Moore, apparent-
ly stricken with the flu, left
the game in favor of fresh-
man Frank Zimmerman with
the score 3-1 in Colorado's
favor.
The Tigers proceeded to ra-
vage the Maize and Blue and
left Michigan reeling, 7-1, by
the end of the period.
"That second period was a
disaster," Farrell aptly re-
marked.
Michigan o-tscored Colorado
3-1 in the final period but came
uo on the short end of the 8-4

RICH LERNER
Jim Mitchell potted the win-
ning tally at 12:18 of the fin-
al period.
"They're goaltending," said
Farrell, "was about the best
we've faced this year."
Absent from the list of goal
scorers for the weekend was
center Angie Moretto. The jun-
ior contributed only an assist
for the two games.
Colorado as like many of the
WCHA clubs have keyed
heavily on Michigan's lead-
ing goal-scorer. ,This, accord-
ing to Farrell, has been a big
f part of the reason the Wolver-
ines have failed to put a
string of victories together
since Christmas break.
"Moretto's been cut off from
his scoring," Farrell com-

mented. "We haven't been scor-
ing that well and it's tough to
win when you're not scoring."
Another reason for Michigan's
inauspicious record since Christ-
mas is its heavy road sched-
ule. Eight of t hose twelve
games were on the road and
of those road games Michigan
won just three.
The Wolverines close out the
regular season with home series
against last-place North Dakota
and second - to - last - place

With a playoff spot vir-

at these games as a prelude
