FOULS, FURLOW TOO MUCH FOR MICHIGAN, 86-78

EAST LANSING-A blis-
tering. S p a r t a n shoot-
ing display and early Mich-
igan foul trouble which re-
sulted in the departure of
three starters, proved the
decisive factors in an im-
pressive 86-78 Michigan
State victory here yester-
day.
Shooting at a record
breaking .640 clip, on 32 of
50 field goals, the Spartans
managed to thwart every
threat the Wolverines could
generate.'
Junior forward Terry Furlow
provided the spark for State,
converting 11 of 15 field goals
and 11 of 11 free throws for a
career and game high 33 points.1
Furlow's three baskets midway
through the first half turned the
game around, giving State a six
point lead that they never re-

linquished.
A sullen Johnny Orr talkedt
about his team's inability to
stifle the Spartans' shooting.
"I think we let them have1
too many good shots. People7
we didn't expect to make them
were putting them in."1
A sticky Spartan defense
hampered the Wolverines all af-
ternoon, and according to MSU;
coach Gus Ganakas, was the
necessary element in producing
the victory.
"We had control of the game
throughout. They're a really fast
team and we were able to con-
trol the fast break."
After Furlow's flurry of bas-
kets, Michigan called a time-
out to regroup with the score
26-20. Orr's effort to change the
momentum was futile, however,
as the Spartan's steadily built;
their lead to ten points at the
half on Furlow's uncontested
layup with three seconds left.
Michigan's physical defense
resulted in several deadly fouls
that sent C. J. Kupec to the
bench permanently with 13:34
left in the second half; Wayman
Britt at the 6:37 mark; and
Johnny Robinson with three
minutes remaining in the game.
Don Johnston, Kupec's replace-
ment, did an adequate job of
keeping Lindsay Hairston away
from the basket, but collected
four fouls and was benched,
with 6:17 left.
Michigan played better bas-
ketball in the second half and1
actually outscored the Spartans:
40 to 38. The main stumbling
block was an inability to pene-
trate a sticky Spartan defense
which forced the Wolverines to
the shoot from the outside.
"We had cutters moving in-'
side but we couldn't get the
ball to them. We played too
much individual basketball,".
explained Orr, who saw his
team lose their second straight
Big Ten encounter.
MSU scored two quick bas-
kets to begin the second half
on uncontested layups by senior
guard Pete Davis and Hairston,
to take a 14 point lead, their
biggest of the contest. The game
drifted into a state of limbo as
the Spartan lead rarely fluc-4
tuated from 10 points until the
Wolverines made their only
serious bid with a little over
five minutes remaining in the
game.
Robinson tipped in a rebound
and Grote wriggled inside for
an underhanded layup to shave
the lead to eight. It looked as
would have cut the lead to
four. Ricky White sank a layup
on an assist from Johnson to
close the gap to six, the closest
the Wolverines could manage.
Add to basketball Pg, 8 L4j
Assists on 26 baskets, of
which senior guard Bill Glover
accounted for 13, and an 18
point production from Ganakas'
bench also highlighted the
Spartan performance.
"I felt that going into this
game we had more depth than
Michigan and that we'd win on
that basis," remarked a jubi-
lant Ganakas.
Officiating and questionable
calls aside MSU's passing game
and penetration picked apart
Michigan's defense and forced
them into early foul trouble. But
in the end, Furlow's scoring
spree which surpassed his pre-
vious game high of 26 against
Ohio State in 1974, sealed Mich-
with 26 points and Grote had 16
and Robinson 12. Hairston sup-
plemented Furlow with 18,
slightly under his season aver-
age of 21.
Adding to the Wolverine woes,
they must take to the road next
week for back to back Big Ten
encounters with Iowa and Min-
nesota.

The Michigan varsity reserve
basketball team, led by Kent
Storey's 33 points, withheld a
second hplf rally by the Ohio
State junior varsity to post a
71-67 win in ,Columbus last night.
Trailing 36-30 at halftime,
the baby Buckeyes battled
their way to a 57-56 lead with
6 minutes remaining in the
second stanza. However,
Storey took control of the
game from that point on, scor-
ing 11 points over a four
minute span to out the Wol-
verines ahead 69-60.
The six foot' four forward
from Ann Arbor Pioneer hit on
13 of 20 shots from the floor
and added seven free throws, in
leading Michigan to its fifth

HOUGHTON - The Michigan
Tech hockey team blitzed the
Wolverines here last night by a
score of 6-0. Michigan never
really got untracked against the
revenge - minded Huskies.
With the loss, Michigan split.
the two game series with Tech
and are now in sixth place in
the WCHA, two points behind
the Huskies.
"WE SKATED as poorly as
we've skated all year," said
Dan Farrell afterwards. "It was.
just a bad, bad night. I guess
we've got to go back to some
basics."
The real damage was done in
the first period when Tech scor-
ed three goals within two min-
utes. Three of their first five
shots on goal found their mark.
THE GAME had been sloppy
but close until Michigan Tech
scored and that goal seemed to
fire up the Huskies and turn
the game in their favor.
Mike Zuke fired a 30-footer'
from directly in front through a
crowd for the first tally at 10:41.
Stu Younger flipped a rebound
in from the crease to widen the
margin to 2-0 at 12:12. Twelve
seconds later, the margin was

"YOU CAN'T expect to win

I was concerned that was the

situations, it seemed as though
the Huskies were carrying the
play and outshooting the Wol-

Untimely foals . .
... sealed Michigan's doom
By BILL CRANE
EAST LANSING
0\ SOME days it pays to stay in bed and maybe the Wolverine
hoopsters should have known that it was going to be one of
those days right from the beginning yesterday.
Why? Well, C.J. Kupec became bus-sick on the way to the
pasture lands of East Lansing. It seems the vehicle's air-ride
suspension couldn't handle the gusting Michigan winds.
And it really must have been an omen because the Wol-
verines dug themselves into a hole which made escape im-
possible.
Early fouls put Michigan starters on the bench. The Wolver-
ines spotted the Michigan State Spartans a ten point halftime
lead and dropped the contest 86-78, despite a second half rally.
Although both teams suffered a nearly equal number
of fouls, Michigan's players received them earlier and their
fouls cost them playing time. State had 29 personals and
Michigan had 31.
C.J. Kupec, Wayman Britt and John Robinson exited early
while Steve Grote and Don Johnston played with four fouls
apiece.
Every move the Wolverines made was affected by their
foul situation and this was true surprisingly early in the game.
With the score tied 16-16 at the 11:20 mark, Grote drew
his second personal on an offensive charge. Grote strated well,
hitting two free throws and canning two long jumpers, but
forced his play afterwards. He was taken out after the charge.
Britt moved to guard and drew State's Bill Glover as 'his
defensive assignment. Wolverine sub Rick White moved to
Britt's man, Terry Furlow.
Furlow went to work. He scored on one of several
David Thompson-like feeds he converted in the game. He
also swished two long jumpers.
Those three shots, which comprised six of Furlow's 33
point total, highlighted a Spartan spree which pushed State into
the lead for good, 26-20. Whereas Britt had contained Furlow,
White could not.
At,'the time Grote returned to the game, Michigan's foul
trouble wasn't overly serious. Michigan followers are used to
seeing Michigan starters in foul trouble and nothing calamitous
was predicted.
But the situation worsened. Michigan's full-court press
wasn't effective. State is one of the teams in the Big Ten which
can run with the Wolverines and the Spartans broke the press
time and again.
After the press was broken, John Robinson, Grote or White,
and Britt were forced to come over and guard State's center,
Lindsay Hairston as Kupec was caught up court. Trapped in a
mismatch, White picked up two fouls and Grote one.
Additionally, State was scoring easy baskets. Joe John-
son said, "We didn't convert well from offense to defense.
Defense is the name of the game and we can't expect to give
up as many points as we did and win on the road."
The Spartans maintained a six-point lead for about four
minutes after Grote returned to the game at the 7:42 mark.
But with 4:09 remaining, Grote picked up his third foul.
Britt waited about a minute before he picked up two, within
ten seconds of each other. 19 seconds later, Kupec obtained
his fourth.
The points which State scored on free throws didn't make
the difference. Michigan outscored State from the line, 26-22.
But the elimination of key Michigan players relatively early
in the second half made the difference.
Kupec fouled out with 13:34 left. Michigan has no other
real center. Although Don Johnston played respectably,
Hairston drew fouls, eventually putting Michigan into the
penalty situation, and also scored five quick points.
Britt and Robinson exited with six and three minutes re-

With machine-like consistency, the Michigan
gymnasts ran away with the individual honors
in the final competition of the 1975 Big Ten
Invitational yesterday afternoon before about
2000 appreciative Crisler Arena fans.
Wolverine tumblers captured at least two out
of three top spots in every event, and managed
a clean sweep of top honors in the high bar.
Michigan's superiority first became evident
when co-captain Bruce Keeshin won the all-
around competition. The order of finish in the
all-around was determined by the total points
each participant earned in the compulsory and
optional portions of the tournament.
KEESHIN copped the top spot by amassing
94.90 points. Independent Ray Gura, formerly of
Michigan and Ohio Ctnte's Charles Ewing fin-

The lowest scores of the day were in the side
horse as many gymnasts earned less than 7
points. But Rupert Hansen of Michigan came
through with a superb performance and took
first place with a score of 8.95, barely edging
Indiana's Frank Harms. Harms had a score of
8.9 and Jerry Poynton of Michigan was right
behind Harms with a score of 8.85.
Jack Malmedhal of Indiana was the only non-
Michigan winner, earning the most points of
any performer in the finals with a 9.2 score. .
Kurt Golder and Joe Neuenswander, both
of Michigan, took second and third with respec-
tive scores of 8.85 and 8.8.
ROUNDING out the rest of the scoring, Gura
