Actually, the first half was an evenly played contest for 17 of 20 minutes. Minnesota's nine- point margin was derived from six th a three minute stretch midway in the period where the Gonh- ers reeled off ten consecutive Wolverines. Michigan was unable to mount a serious threat at anytime in the second half. Minnesota was helped by several calls that had Orr and his substitute players off the bench, but it's doubtful that the Wolverines could have triumphed in any event. "We didn't really get going until there were eight minutes to go in the game," Orr com- mented. "We got conservative in the first few minutes, and they got inside for key buckets. That Landsberger really shot well." The one bright spot for Mich-; igan was the improved play of the cagers' top reserves.

As Mo-; STANFORD STUNS FAV( Pac-8 i By RICH LERNER The Pacific-Eight conference basketball race is in a tizzy. Over the weekend, Stanford: bucked the oddsmakers by beat- ing both UCLA and USC on suc- cessive nights to cause a five- team bottleneck at the top of the league standings. USC, ULCA, Stanford, Oregon and Oregon State are all lumped together with 3-1 slates. Stanford is the surprise of the bunch. The Cardinals were expected to be strong, but barely muddled .through a non-conference schedule with five victories against the same number of defeats. "We really didn't do any- thing different," said Stanford coach Howie Dallmar of the wins. "We got outstanding per- formances from Rich Kelley and Ed Schweitzer." Kelley, a seven foot tall sen- ior, scored 22 points and en- snared 13 rebounds against UCLA Friday night, and re-! turned Saturday to tally 30 against USC. Schweitzer scored 22 against the Bruins and 19 versus the Trojans. "The job was 'done on the boards; that's wlere we hal to do it," said Dallmar. Against UCLA we led by 13, at the half, and at one point. 15, but they hit for nine straight points . in the second half. Richard Washington and Marques Johnson had the hot hands for them." "It's very difficult to play those teams back-to-back," Dall- mar continued, "USC is as good as UCLA, but UCLA has tradition which brings out an ace ot emotional performance from thet team.t "The win Saturday was justt as important." Stanford has an experienced team, will all five starters being two-year veterans. The 6-8' Schweitzer and 6-6 Scott Trobee man the forward positions. Schweitzer shoots 76 per cent from the floor in conference play. Guards are, 6-3 playmaker Mel Arterberry and Mark Gil- berg. The real star in the Stan-c ford constellation is pivotmanI Kelley. Dallman, in his 21stY year of coaching at Palo Alto,c is enthusiastic about the big man's play.- "He's definitely an All-Ameri- can candidate. He's aggressive,t not intimidating, very fluid and plays facing the basket much like Tom McMillen (formerly) of Maryland. "Kelley's only problem is that' he gets into foul trouble fre- quently," said Dallmar. Kelley, averaging 23 points a' game in league play, held UCLA's highly-touted Ralph Drollinger to only three re-r bounds.+ The wins upped Stanford's record to 8-6.
