MICHIGAN TITLEBOUND?

Hoosier polomen give

up

By JEFF SCILLER
In a stunning move, defending
champion Indiana has officially
withdrawn, from the Michigan
Invitational Water Polo tourna-
ment, scheduled for this Friday
and Saturday at Matt Mann Pool.
Sources close to The Daily said
that Hoosier swimming coach
James "Doc"d Counsilman had
banned the Indiana water polo
team from using the university's
Royer Pool following their 8-5
dual meet loss to Michigan last
Saturday. Lack of practice is
hardly the way to improve per-
formance, and so the Indiana
swimmers decided to not waste
their time visiting Ann Arbor for
a sure-fire defeat.
This Invitational is important
to the Wolverines because it
gives them a clear chance to
wrap up the Midwest Water Polo
Conference dual meet champion-
ship. Kentucky, the only other
title contender, will not be pres-
ent. Those teams who will be
around include Purdue, George
Williams College, and Loyola of
Chicago.
Pistons di
Celtics rip,
By The Associated Press
DETROIT-Dave Bing and Curtis
Rowe led a final-period spurt that
carried the surging Detroit Pistons
to a 114-107 National Basketball
Association victory last night over'
the Seattle SuperSonics.
Bing had 11 of his 26 points and
Rowe eight of his 23 in the fourth
period when the Pistons built on a'
three-point lead to capture their,
third straight victory and fifth in
their last six starts.
The loss was the fifth in a row,
and eighth in the last nine games
for the Sonics.
The Pistons trailed by as many
as six in the first half and were
down six in the third when Bing
started his hot shooting to bring
Detroit to an 83-80 advantage at
the three quarter mark.
Rowe hit Detroit's first three
baskets in the final period, and the
Pistons never trailed as Bing, Chris
Ford and Stu Lantz joined in the
scoring.
Bob Lanier, although plagued by
foul trouble, had 19 points and 16
rebounds for the Pistons, while
Seattle was led by guard Fred
Brown with 31 and Spencer Hay-
wood with 28.

NIGHT EDITORS:
GEORGE HASTINGS
MIKE LISULL
The Maize and Blue are com-
ing off an impressive undefeated
weekend that has swimming
coach Gus Stager in ecstasy.
"Our first half against Kentucky
was the best we've played all
year," he remarked after Mich-
igan's 11-6 frying of the Colonels.
"In fact, it was one of the best
halves I've ever seen played.
"The seniors really carried us
to the win, especially Stu Isaac
and Chris Hansen. They really
played well, and we also got ex-
ceptional goaltending from Jim
Firestone."
The Wolverines need to sweep
their three games this weekend
to be certain of the conference
dual-meet champion. It's pos-
_p Sonies;
Cavaliers

sible for them to lose one match
and still emerge as overall vic-
tors, but the scenario gets com-
plicated. Michigan water polo
coach John Pheney explained in
detail:
"We must beat Loyola. Right
now we have one loss (to Lo-
yola) and Loyola and Kentucky
both have two losses. If we lose
to Loyola, the best we could do
is tie them in the standings and
they would take the title be-
cause of their two victories
against us. Kentucky's -not out
of it either, but we win the
championship in case of a tie
with them because we beat them
during the season."
Loyola, observers agree, will
be the Wolverines' toughest com-
petition this weekend. However,
the Ramblers' victory over Mich-
igan was marked by officiating

which can best be described as
questionable, but really deserves
stronger language than that. Pur-
due lost to Michigan last week
10-8 in their own pool, while
George Williams will be received
with courtesy and tact.
"If we play the same type of
water polo we played this last
weekend," Pheney added, "we
can win. We've got the best team
we've ever had here. We have a
lack of size and depth, but
everyone is extremely motivated.
We have a tough defense and we
hustle."
The W o l ve r i n e water-polo
schedufe for this weekend is:
Prdue at 2:30 p.m. Friday,
George Williams at 11:00 a.m.
Saturday, and Loyola on Satur-
day afternoon immediately fol-
lowing the conclusion of the
Michigan-Indiana football game.

Gridde pickintgs
MYRON TYRONE SWANG with the times. His Army surplus hiking
boots, $15-prefaded-from-Sears bluejeans, and most of all his
fluorescent "Osmond Brothers Fan Club" windbreaker made sure he
could jive with the heppest cats on the A-squared scene.
He scorned the accouterments of bourgeois society. He never
entered the Michigan Daily's Gridde Pickings contest. He failed to
bring or mail his entry to 420 Maynard by midnight every Friday
during football season. Of course, he never won a free Mr. Pizza
pizza, but they didn't use Granola pizza crusts anyway.
We could go on discussing the emptiness of his life, the vapidity
of his mind, the purposelessness and futility of his existential being

Brown returns
Michigan will definitely be in the running this weekend at
the Big Ten cross country championships with the eligibility of
its top harrier Keith Brown. The Big Ten decision came at 5:15
last night, not a bit too early as the squad left for the meet this
morning.
Brown was six credits short of junior standing in Septem-
ber but since has gained them in advanced credit examinations.
Evidently a Big Ten coach contested that Brown must have
attained eligibility before the cross country season began. That
protest was overruled yesterday.
Coach Farmer and his squad awaited the decision at
Crisler Arena while John Orr carried on basketball practice.
At the learning of the good news, Orr claimed that the
harriers made more noise than he had heard in Crisler for
quite some time.

Johnny U, Steeler-bound?
SAN DIEGO P-Will Johnny Unitas, the Pittsburgh kid who
was drafted by the Steelers but shunted off to Baltimore with-
out playing a game, wind up his legendary pro football career
back home?
The San Diego Chargers asked the Steelers this week
to consider taking Unitas on waivers, along with his salary
reportedly $250,000 annually.
"We told them we're not interested," a Pittsburgh spokes-
man said yesterday.
NHL to buy Seals?
HOMOSASSA SPRINGS, Fla. ()-The board of directors
of the National Hockey League says it will discuss buying
Charlie O. Finley's California Golden Seals during its week-
long meeting here.
The board had set up a committee to discuss such a pur-
chase but the committee and Finley failed to agree on terms.
"The possibility of buying the Seals is on our agenda," said
NHL Public Relations Director Don Buck. "It has always been
the league's position that we were interested and it appears
that there has been a rekindling of interest.

A-squared happenings
The Michigan rugby team will go on the road Saturday to do
battle with the Detorit Cobras, their arch rival, at Detroit.
Meanwhile the Ann Arbor Recreation Department is looking
for officials. Due to an enlarged schedule, former hockey players
and good skaters are being sought to officiate hockey games
(for a fee of course).
All interested parties should contact M. G. Preston at
971-8659 for more information. Incidentally, scorekeepers,
also paid are needed and information can be obtained from
the Ann Arbor Recreation Department.

went on to defeat the Cleveland
Cavaliers 128-110 last night in a
National Basketball Association
game.
Nelson popped in eight points
and Chaney converted two steals
into baskets while tallying seven
points as the Celtics got away to
a 13-2 lead and then a 25-8 ad-
vantage en route to avenging an
upset at Cleveland Sunday.
Cleveland trimmed the lead to
10 points, 65-55, at halftime as Aus-
tin Carr found the range for eight
points, but it was a futile charge.'

ton in New York Oct. 13, entered
the fourth quarter with a 75-68 lead
