E SOTA MONDAY I By BILL STIEG Losing six games has madet one thing easier for the Mich- igan basketball team: getting "up" for a game like today's.., Iowa is in town for a 2:05 tip-off, and unlike some coach- es, Michigan's Johnny Orr doesn't have to worry about his Wolverines suffering a let- down for a game with the 7-13 Hawkeyes. They simply can't afford it. Michigan is in the thick of a four-team scramble for post- season tournament berths, and each squad is well aware that it can lose only one more game -maybe two-and still be in- vited to a tourney. "Right now we have a very fine attitude," assures Orr. "We know that it's important to win every game down the strztch here, because a post-season tournament bid is in the offing." This year, the NCAA will con- sider runners-up in major con- ferences as eligible for its tour- nament. A game and a half separates Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, and Minnesota- all candidates for second place behind undefeated Indiana. If a team can't break into the NCAA's 32-team field, :he CCA and NIT tournaments have 24 additional slots to fill. More than one loss in their last seven games would ruin "ae owa the Wolverines' chances for ing of the season, Minnesota the NCAA berth, so with whipped Michigan, 67-58, and teams like Minnesota (Mon- outrebounded t h e Wolverines, day night), Purdue, and Ohio 32-24.

Jack Reinwand, Wisconsin's highly touted 126 pounder, could score only two stalling prints and was soundly beacen by Michigan's freshman sensation, Rich Lubell, 7-2. Mark Johnson (177) was de- feated by Wisconsin's 1974 Big Ten champ Ed Vatch, who ap- pears to be in fine form to de- fend his title in this year's tournament.

Ed Neiswender (158) of Mich- igan, leading 3-2 going into the third period, was troubled byj his shoulder and lost badly 10-4.

"I think Baxterdid a goodI job last Saturday," says Orr,l "he just didn't shoot that well. Then we'll bring Grote in there because he did such a good job coming off the bench against Michigan State." Orr added that his team had a "fine week of practice," and reports that Ricky White is fully recovered from a hurt ankle.

No one seems to really care about the Buckeye breaststrokers or backstrokers or even OSU's record, which happens to be 3-5 in dual meets. The talk of the town is the clash between the Buckeyes' defending national d i v i n g champ, Tim Moore, and the Maize and Blue's own Donnie Craine. They are, without a doubt, two of the finest divers in the land. Ohio State swiming has en- joyed far less success than that of Woody's football legions, and Buckeye coach John Bruce readily acknowledges that his Bucks "don't have the kind of team that can go against Michi- gan." What little strength the Buckeyes do possess in the swim events rests mainly in six men. Skip Steinman, who is in a "mid-season slump" according to Bruce, and Geoff Zann carry the brunt of the Buck's sprint load. A freshman, Tracy Smith, is their only threat in the dis- tance events, but his coach says that "he's not ready to go against Gordon Downie." The only competitive match of the night appears to be in the breaststroke, where Bill Hensel of Ohio State is expected to be troublesome. The top OSU back- stroker is Mike Levitz and Jim Kemp is their number one but- terflyer. Needless to say, the Buckeyes' hopes of an upset are almost nil. Bruce aptly summed it up by quipping, "We'll have a tough time at Michigan in any swim event." The Scarlet and Gray divers are an entirely different story. Michigan diving coach Dick Kimball has nothing but praise for them, calling them "the best team of divers in the country this year." OSU diving coach Ron O'Brien has assembled a squad of divers that makes opponents tremble. Kent Vosler, Tim Fox and Roger Blocher all placed in the Big Ten meet last year and freshman Frank D'Emico is right on par with them. Then, of course, there Moore to contend with. Moo shattered his own record la week by piling up an unbelie able 382.8 points on the thr meter board in OSU's 79-44 lo to Michigan State. "I can't r member having a better day admitted the two-time NCA champ on the one and thr meter board. The diving portion of th meet has been changed toa championship format invol. ing seven competitors from each team. The diving began last night as each contestan will have completed eleven dives, five yesterday and si today. Bruce doesn't think anyonei the country can compare wi Moore. "I'm not taking an thing away from Craine but Ti has twelve national record He's in a class by himself." Gordon Downie and To Szuba might not see action f the Blue tankers. Szuba was hi by the flu and Downie by te donitis in his shoulder.
