Orrmen battle
frustrated
By JEFF SCHILLER
Eleven weeks ago, the Ohio
State football team strode into
Ann Arbor, unbeaten, untied,
top - ranked and fighting for
possession of the Big Ten and
national championships. Today
the Buckeye basketball team
stumbles into town, for a spe-
cial 1:00 p.m. contest, with a
1-6 conference mark, occupying
the Big Ten cellar, and fighting
for "nothing but pride."
But if Buckeye fans can be ex-
cused fortattaching somewhat
less importance to this game
than they did to the gridiron
clash, the same is not true for
the Wolverine roundballers and
their supporters.

quest for the conference title,
and the hoopsters cannot afford
any letdowns against the weaker
teams like OSU if they are to
cop the crown.
The Wolverines should have no
trouble getting "up" for th'e con-
test. If the traditional Michigan-
OSU rivalry is not enough, a
sign in the Michigan locker room
reminds the squad of the result
of last year's final game when
the Bucks humiliated the Blue
in Ann Arbor by scoring 102
points. Then too, they can lis-

Trackmen at MSU Relays
Michigan's track team travels to East Lansing today to com-
pete'in the MSU relays. Teams will be coming from throughout
the region to make up, what Coach Dixon Farmer calls "the
best relays meet in the Midwest."
The highlighted events will be the 600-yard run, expected to
be a battle between MSU's Bob Cassleman, Eastern Michigan's
Stan Vinson and the Wolverine's Dave Williams, and the 60-yard
dash, featuring Olympic gold medal winner Gerald. Tinker of
Kent State, Michigan State's Marshall Dill, and Spartan alumnus
Herb Washington.
Michigan is counting on strong performances by Williams,
defending triple jump winner Abe Butler and co-captains Kim
Rowe and Steve Adams in the 440 and shot put respectively.

Bears ink M' stars
The Chicago Bears took a long step toward bolstering their
sagging football fortunes on Thursday by announcing the signing
of two 1973 Michigan football stars, All-American defensive
tackle Dave Gallagher and offensive guard Mike Hoban. Gal-
lagher, the Bears' second pick in the first draft round was also
tabbed by Boston of the fledgling World Football League, but
Dave chose the Bears because "the Chicago people and their
offer were so good."
Hoban was not drafted by an NFL club, but signed with the
OHIO STATE
Bill Andreas (6-7,14.7)
Steve Wenner (6-6,9.8)
Craig Taylor (6-10,2.3)
Gary Repella (6-3,8.0)
Larry Bolden (6-0,12.3)
Bill Frieder, Jim Dutcher and
Johnny Orr talk, you'd think
that today's opponent is the most
underrated team around.
"Ohio State is not nearly as
bad as their record indicates,"
Frieder commented. "They took
Notre Dame, the number three
team in the nation, to overtime
before losingtby four. And
they've lost to Wisconsin by
four, and Purdue by only two -
in fact they should have beaten
Purdue! We'll have to play well
to beat them."
It may be tougher however,
for Coach Fred Taylor to moti-
vate his Buckeye squad. OSU,
originally regarded as a dark-
horse in the Big Ten picture has
dropped six of its last eight con-
tests, the last two to conference
tailenders Northwestern and
Minnesota.
MOREOVER, it is rumored
that the Buckeyes have internal
troubles as well. Taylor benched
star forward and team captain
Wardell Jackson for Monday's
game against Minnesota, and
Jackson will not start again to-
day.
While it's true that Jackson's
play has been a definite disap-
pointment this season, he is none-
the less the team's second lead-
ing rebounder (7.2) and third
leading scorer (10.4) and his in-
action bodes ill for Buckeye for-
tunes.
OSU's major troubles of late
have been lack of rebounding
and a failure to penetrate offen-
sively. In fact the Ohio State
"inside offense" has been limit-
ed almost exclusively to 6'-7"
center - forward Bill Andreas
(6.5 reb. 14.7 p.).
"We have to have Billy in
there. Without him we don't
have any inside attack at all,
complained Taylor.
The statistics bear out Tay-
lor's words .Outside of An-
dreas, the Buckeye starters at
the forward positions have been
generally non-productive. Steve
Wenner, a 6-6 junior is averaging
a mediocre 7.7 rebounds and 9.8
ppg, while 6-10 sophomore Craig
Taylor sports an anemic 3.4 re-
bounds andh2.3 ppg record.
WHAT has kept OSU in ball-
games throughout the year has
been their ability to shoot the
basketball. Andreas (.530) and
6-3 senior guard Gary Repella
(.517) both convert better than
half their attempts, and 6-0
freshman guard Larry Bolden
connects better than 45 per cent
of the time in compiling his 12.3
scoring average. Bolden, who
led Ohio's high school cagers
in scoring one year ago is the
glue in the Scarlet and Gray at-
tack, and has been a Buckeyes'
bright spot.
A tougher task may be facing
the Orrmen Monday night when
Northwestern comes to town.
It's not that the Wildcats look
any better than Ohio State does
on paper, and their individual en-
counter resulted in a close seven
point victory for NU; but rather
that the Wolverines will not be
as prepared for theWildcats as
they will be for today's tilt.

night gime is played on momen-
tum from Saturday."
In any event, neither coach
Orr nor his players are under-
estimating the importance of
these next two games. The Big
Ten champion must consistently
beat second division clubs, and
they must consistently win at
home.
As Orr put it, "A loss to Ohio
State or Northwestern counts
just the same in the standings
as a loss to Indiana or Purdue."
wing. Then Steele knotted the
score at three all when he block-
ed Tom Lindskog's shot from
the point and skated in all alone
on Moore. Steele fanned on his
shot, but Moore lost sight of it
and the puck trickled between
his pads.
Michigan forged back into the
lead, however, when Doug Linds-
kog deflected a Dave Shand shot
past Quance with only 4:45.left
in regulation time. Lindskog,
playing in his first game" since'
suffering a broken finger on New
Year's Eve, collected three points
with a goal and two assists.
Tech came right back with the
equalizer when Bob D'Alvise bang-
ed in a rebound after a Usitalo
steamer rattled off the post.
The, overtime period was a
scene of reckless abandon on
both sides, and each had numer-
ous golden opportunities before
Dufek netted the clincher.
Tech coach John MacInnes
claimed, "We played a great team
and a great team beat us." But a
couple minutes later he snapped,
"It would have been a lot differ-
ent if we didn't have those three
guys (Bruce Abbey, George Lyle,
and Graham Wise) out of the line-
up."
Then MacInnes got almost livid
in criticizing the officials charging
that, "Zuke was getting butt end-
ed, cross checked, slashed, spear-
ed and everything else. It's about
time they started calling some of
that.
Despite the win, the Wolverines
remain two points behind Notre
Dame in the fight for the eighth
and final WCHA play-off berth.

By RAY O'HARA,
It seems almost impossible but,
sad to relate, the University of
Indiana's swimming team, winner
of the last six NCAA champion-
ships, is stroking faster than ever.
This week's unfortunate occupants
of the visitor's lanes in Blooming-
ton will be the Michigan Wolver-
ines.
The Maize and Blue swim-
mers will be faced today with
the same problem all other col-
legiate teams are confronted
with: how to remain competitive
against this outrageously talent-
ed team of Hoosiers who place
two or three of the nation's fast-
est swimmers in nearly every
event.
"They are very intelligent swim-
mers," Stager claimed, "and
ours can learn from them. We
can win more often if we swim
smarter races and the competition
from Indiana will help us. You
don't improve unless you swim
against the best."
