THE MICHIGAN DAILY Sunday, January 27, 1974 tager. By JIM ECKER Special To The Daily IOWA CITY-Did you ever wake up in the middle of a bad dream, all clammy and nervous'and won- dering what the hell is going on? That scene hit the Wolverines last night, but fortunately for Michigan, they awoke from their slumber just in time to salvage an 86-84 over- time victory over the charged-up Iowa Hawkeyes. 55 second spurt halfway through the overtime period rescued the Wolverines from impending disas- ter.

But the Hawkeyes could not add another point. A Johnson foul shot after an intentional LaPrinceI foul made the final tally read 86-84 Michigan. From the look of things at the ballgame's outset Michigan appear-, ed headed for a real laugher. TheC Wolverines came out playing a collapsable 1-2-2 zone defense, with BR Johnson chasing the ball.

"We're going to work'like hell this week," a grim-faced Rick Bay snapped after the meet. "If we keep wrestling this way, I can tell you we aren't going" to have a chance against any good teams." The Wolverines' main problem was sloppy wrestling on their feet. 126-pounder Rich Valley was betrayed by an inability to score necessary takedowns in his 6-3 BAY DISPLEASED mat me n top Ioss' to Phil Miller. And Bill Davids was lucky to overcome his own carelessness and lack of aggressiveness in his 6-6 tie at 134 with Andy Passaglia. After four minutes and 24 sec- onds of b o r e d o m, Passaglia rushed in to earn a quick take- down, giving him a 4-2 advantage at that stage of the match. A Davids third-period reversal didn't i m p r o v e the situation much. Passaglia escaped quickly enough to keep his riding time advantage, and the Wolverine star still needed a takedown to avoid defeat. With 15 seconds showing on the clock, Davids got the take- down on a highly questionable call at the edge of the mat. Needing five seconds on top to wipe out the riding time ad- vantage, the Hazel Park native had only to hang on to the end of the match to claim an inspir- ing come - from - behind triumph. He didn't make it. 190-pounder Dave Curby and heavyweight Gary Ernst both fell behind in their matches. Tom Edgren, a freshman appearing. in his second meet, took Curby down after 40 seconds, and re- peated the trick in the second period, gaining a 5-1 lead. A take- down with 1:17 to go gave the Wolverine veteran the win. Ernst was nearly pinned 20 seconds into his confrontation with Palmer Klass, when a quick move by his opponent set him down on his back for a take- down and near fall. I The struggle had to be stopped while the Wolverine heavyweight recovered from an injury. But a minor hyperextension of his knee didn't impair Ernst from domi- nating the remainder of the clash, which was decided by rid- ing time. Several Wolverines did well. Leadoff man Jim Brown, 150- pounder Jerry Hubbard and Rob Huizenga at 177 tallied their us- ual superior decisions, while Rick Neff, substituting for Bill Schuck at 142, and 167-pounder John Ryan scored their first wins of the campaign. After the festivities, a smiling Curby quoted the noted philoso- pher, Billy Davids: "This meet means nothing. We can do it when we have to-and we will." We'll see.

Diver Steve Schen- that set two personal season, marks in the one and three meter dives to highlight the meet. Both Schenthal and Pete Agnew swept by the three meter board season mark set just Friday night by Don Craine. Schenthal's 323.65 and Agnew's 311.35 eclipsed Craine's 310.05, qualifying them for the Nationals. Michigan diving coach Dick Kimball was pleased by his divers' performances. "We now have four divers qualified for the Nationals on both boards," claimed Kimball. Dick Quint, Don Craine, Pete Agnew and Steve Schenthal will represent the Michigan diving corps at the Nationals. Michigan coach Gus Stager continued to juggle his swim- mers' events, "giving them a little variety," as freestyler Mark Anderson put it. Stu Isaac again did not swim in a breaststroke event, and Semchyshen watched the dis- tance events from the side. An- derson and Szuba swam in the 500-yard freestyle instead of the sprints.

Trailing 3-0 at one point, the Maize and Blue began their come- back early in the second period and for the most part controlled play from that point on, scoring five straight goals to post their seventh WCHA win, which tied them with idle Notre Dame for seventh place in the conference A pleased Dan Farrell credited the win to a "change in our fore- checking attack. That definitely made the difference. I was a bit reluctant to make the change, and tri pup one shot on goal in the first seven minutes, and just ten in the period, none of them dangerous. A quick goal by Minnesota's Buzz Schneider at 0:30 of the next period, put the Wolverines down, 3-0. Finally, at 4:10 of that stanza Pat Hughes put Michigan on the scoreboard when he took Don Far- dig's quick pass from behind the net and knocked it past goalie Brad Shelstad. With that goal the tide began to turn in Michigan's favor. Though they did not score for the rest of the period, it became clear the Wolverines were dictating the flow of play. And perhaps most impor- tant, they stayed completely out of the penalty box. The splendid third period began with Michigan playing hard. With Minnesota right in front of the net and neatly backhanded it into the twine. With the momentum of the game in their favor and the crowd cheer- ing every move, the Wolverines suddenly took the lead a minute later when the rangy Moretto pick- ed off a weak pass in the Gopher zone, and set up linemate Bob Fal- coner who beat Shelstad from four feet out. The next 12 minutes saw Mich- igan simply outplay Minnesota, at- tempting more than twice as many shots as the visitors, and threaten- ing several times to add to their lead. As the clock started running out on the Gophers, coach Herb Brooks pulled his goalie with a couple minutes left in a desperate attempt to save his team from the upstart WXnl.,orinno Rft the otrn~tanxr hanit. fired as Fardig closed the night's scoring with a calm flick of ther wrist from 30 Feet out, sending the puck into the unguarded goal with seven seconds left. Farrell was full of praise for his young team. "I think Greg Foxj played his best game of the season, and this was Dufek's best game,3 also. He handled the puck with a lot of authority. I also think Moorej had one of his better nights." Perhaps the only disappointing thing about last night was the size of the crowd. The Wolverines are 3-5 for January, and as Farrell noted, "they like a winner. That's what we're trying to give them.
