Iowa,
By JEFF SCHILLER
IOWA CITY-An
aroused Michigan basket-
ball team, confronted with
a "must win" situation ear-
ly in the Big Ten campaign,
stormed past Iowa 75-70
last night to snap a two-
game losing s t r e a k and
catapult itself back into
the running for a post-sea-
son tournament berth.
The nineteenth - ranked
Wolverines returned to fun-
damentals and it paid off
handsomely. Offensively,
Michigan's more disciplin-
ed attack shot fifty per-
cent from the floor. Defen-
sively, the cageers forced
Iowa to commit 24 turn-
overs and held the Hawk-
eyes to 70 points, Michi-
gan's lowest yield of the
Big Ten season.
The last statistic is important.

That was the Michigan margin

half. But with three seconds to

throws by Iowa's Larry Moore
(one because of a technical foul
called on Michigan coach John-

commented. "We were afraid of

Special To The Daily
EAST LANSING-The Michigan swimming team, paced j
by brilliant individual performances by Tom Szuba, Gord
Downie and diver Don Craine, swamped an outmanned
Michigan State squad 71-52 yesterday afternoon. The win
ups the Wolverines' conference record to 3-1.
The Wolverines lost the first event of the meet,
the 400 yard medley relay, but never trailed again after
they took first and second in the 1000 freestyle. Szuba
won the 1000 at 10:02.9, followed by teammate Joe
Bauer at 10:03.7.
Craine won both diving events, crushing the Spartans'
highly touted freshman, Jesse Griffin.
Downie won the 200-yard freestyle in a time of 1:44.3
. and Norm Semchyshen finished third as the Wolverines
opened up a 23-16 lead.
The Spartans made one final charge, however, as their
super sprinters Glen Disosway and Bruce Wright, tied the
meet at 24-24 with a one-two finish in the 50 yard freestyle.
Szuba and Rob Bauman ended any State hopes for
an upset as Szuba swam a 1:58.4 to win the 200-yard
individual medley, followed by Bauman's second-place
2:00.9. The sweep thrust the Blue into the lead for
good, 32-25.
The 100 yard freestyle was the afternoon's thriller as
Downie picked up his second first place of the meet, edg-
ing MSU's Wright and teammate Mark Anderson with a
clocking of 48.6.

______________ Marc Feldman-
The free throw .. .
. foul shot
FREE THROWS, foul shots, charity tosses. For decades sports-
writers have unsuccessfuilly attempted to make this dull aspect
of basketball more appealing.
No fan sits spellbound when a player toes the line while a
group of large fellows stand around with their hands upraised.
For lack of a better penal system, free throws have been
used to punish transgressors of the rules since basketball's
invention in 1896.
Presently, the foul shooting regulations in college basket-
ball and the National Basketball Association (NBA) differ in
certain aspects. The maior differences arise after a team
passes the prescribed "foul limit" for a half (college) or
quarter (NBA).
At this point, usually about midway through the period, the
rules change.
In College: -fo'led in the act of shooting-two shots.
-Non-shooting foul-one shot, and if successful,
another-the one-and-one.
In the NBA-fouled in the act of shooting-three chances to
make two.
-non-shooting fo"l-two shots.
Among the maze of foul shooting rules, the collegiate one-
and-one is the most challenging. Miss the first attempt, and two
points go down the drain. In the NBA, missing the first might
entitle you to a couple more chances to score.
In the 1973-74 season, the 232 maor college teams con-
verted 155,196 free shots in 226,776 attempts for 68.4 per cent.
The NBA players hit with more accuracy, canning 27,294 out
of 35,392 or 77.1 per cent.
Althogh neither the NBA or National Collegiate Snorts
Services keen such statistics, the riles differences would in-
crease the already considerable overall gan of 8.7 per cent. If
nercentage of maximum points were compiled, the second shot
of potential one-and-ones would be incl'ided, while the meaningless
misses in three for two, and two for one situations would be
exclded.
Effectively, the foul shot has becnne an unimnortant aspect
of NBA basketball. Not only are the shooters better, but the
league riles allow a greater margin for error.
One reason for the NBA rles is to eliminate the
"strategic foul." One shndders at the thought of a mangled
Wilt Chamberlain, a notoriously poor fonl shooter (51 per
cent career), who wvold have been fouled reeatedly by
third-rate centers, if the one-and-one rule had been in effect.
However, the vast maiority of NBA players shoot far more
accurately than Chanberlain, and the extension of the one-and-
one to the pros, with the college penalties for intentional fouling
included also, would be a positive step.
Since foul shots are universally boring, cutting down on the
number taken would be welcome. In college ball last year,
37.4 free shots were taken in a 40 minute game, but the pros
took 50.8 shots in 48 minutes.
Still, the semi-intentional foul by the college team trailing
by five to eight points in the final minutes, remains a problem.
However, an adoption of the pro three-for-two would deter
boring foul orgies like the one at East Lansing last Saturday.
Clearly, both the college and pros have some good ideas
about foul regulations. Generally, the one-and-one adds a certain
importance to each free throw, but encourages indiscriminate
fouling in the later stages of games not quite beyond reach.
Therefore, inserting the three-for-two and the other current NBA
rules in the last two minutes of each half would streamline the
college game.
Foul shooting rules change all the time, like the "common
foul" rules introduced in the 1972-73 season. Free throws have
become too automatic in the NBA-installation of the one-and-
one in many situations might 'even wake up a few fans.

MADISON - The Wolverine
dekers scored twice in the sec-

ed the lead as they battled their
way to a 6-3 victory over Wis-
consin at the Dane County Coli-
seum last night.
FRESHMAN center Dave De-
Bol tallied twice and added an
assist to lead the well-balanced
Michigan attack.
"DeBol, (Kris) Manery and
(Frank) Werner played their
best hockey of the year to-.

Dan Farrell.
"Our forechecking was excel-
lent, and our defense played
very tough," he added. "We

SUNDAY SPORTS
NIGHT EDITOR:
RAY O'HARA
MICHIGAN suffered a rash
of penalties during the opening
period, five in all, but still es-
caped with a 2-2 draw.
Penalties figured in both
Wolverine goals, as Michigan
scored on shorthanded and
power play efforts. Dan Hoene
stole a pass at the blue line and,
went in all alone to score the
puck through his legs.I
The third period began on a
bad note for the Badgers, as
they received two penalties
within the first four minutes.
They managed to kill both pen-
alties, though, and it looked as
though the momentum would
shift in their favor.
Randy Neal and Hoene in de-
ciding the game's outcome.
"Neal and Hoene did an excep-
tional job of killing our penal-
ties," he said.
WERNER ALSO had strong
praise for the duo. "Penalty-
killing was the main thing for
us tonight," he said. "We de-
cided we were going to play it
rough, so we expected to be
receiving our share of penal-
ties."
Werner also added that "we
felt we could kill the penalties
off because Wisconsin was not
used to a physical game."
Don Dufek echoed Werner's
thoughts, stating "We gangster-
ed them."
"WE'RE HOPING for no less
than two victories against Min-
nesota," Werner added, refer-
ring to next weekend's two
games at Yost Ice Arena.
The weekend split with Wis-
consin enables Michigan to re-
main four points back of the
Badgers, muddling through at
the .500 level with a 10-10 level.
The Detroit Red Wings cannot
say the same.
