In Minneapolis, Musselman's muscle- men derailed Michigan's fast break, 98-80 and handed tail-ender Northwestern its tenth conference loss, 90-74. Ron Behagen, one of the confer- ence's premier forwards led the week-end onslaught with a total of 45 points, while balding Clyde Tur- ner the 6-8 guard garnered 44 and Jim Brewer added 39. Minnesota currently is playing its best ball of the year and with Purdue faltering, Iowa a n d Northwestern bothalso rans, Minnesota looks like a sure bet for the Big Ten's NCAA berth. Down at Bloomington, coach Bobby Knight's hopes for an NCAA spot rest rather weakly on Pur- due's ability to beat Minnesota and then on his own team's amility to beat Minnesota in a play-off at a neutral court. A more likely oc-1 currence would be Indiana finish- ing second to Minnesota and re- ceiving a bid to the National In- L.A. no-no irks. Model! CLEVELAND W/) - Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell said Tuesday he has filed charges with National Football League Commis- sioner Pete Rozelle accusing the Los Angeles Rams of tampering. Modell said the charges were made "in connection with the sudden resignation of assistant coach Ray Prochaska." After leaving, Prochaska, who had been under contract with the Browns, later joined the new Rams' coaching team being put to- gether by Chuck Knox. Modell said his charges allege that "a person or persons unknown in the Los Angeles Rams' organiz- ation . . . violated the constitution and by-laws of the league." The Browns' owner 'said in a prepared statement he has asked Rozelle for "a complete investi- gation of the facts related to the Prochaska matter and that if the Rams are found guilty, appropriate disciplinary action be taken." vitational Tournament, (NIT), at Madison Square Garden. Last Saturday at Bloomington, Indiana led by solid Steve Down- ing's 18 points, two clutch foul shots by sophomore Steve Green and three last minute steals, nosed out ninth place Wisconsin 57 - 55. Coach Knight, infuriated with his teams lack of support from the home town crowd, commented: "I'm embarrassed to put a team on the floor on the home court that doesn't support the team more than this crowd has supported our team in the last two ball games. that we've played." The Boilermakers plans for post - season action were upset by Wisconsin Monday night, 71- 63. Purdue expected to beat ninth place Wisconsin and split their last two games, one with Min- nesota and the finale with Indi- ana and earn a bid to the NIT. But with Minnesota and Indiana playing so well it will be tough for Purdue to achieve anything higher than an 8-6 Big Ten slate S and a good seat for post-sea- son play.' Illinois, on the other hand sud- denly moved into prime conten- tion for an NIT bid. Their present record, 7-4, could easily end up 10- 4 should they beat Ohio State, Northwestern, and Iowa. In addi- tion to their fine record in the tough Western Conference, Illinois also possesses one of the top for- wards in the country, Nick Weath- erspoon, whose presence is a valu- able plus with the tournament in- vitation committee. Big Ten Standings CONFERENCE Illinois moved into their position by beating Michigan State on Sat- urday, 81-71, and beating Michi- gan Monday night 96-89. Weather- spoon led the weekend barrage by hitting a total of 62 points; he was aided by Jeff Dawson's 38 point total. Ohio State beat Northwestern Saturday, 90-81, but lost to Michi- gan State Monday 87-83. Allen Hornyak continues to lead the Buckeyes as he contributed 54 points this weekend. Michigan State won one and lost 'one this weekend as Nick Weatherspoon passed State's Mike Robinson in the Big Ten scoring race when he outscored the Spartan 32 to 19, Illinois won 81-71. But the former Northeast- ern High gunner recovered his eye Monday, as he collected 32 points in shooting MSU past Ohio State, 87-83. Wisconsin played surprisingly tough ball as it lost to Indiana 57- 55 and upset Purdue 71-63. Leon Roberts led the renaissance as he collected 35 points for his weekend.

Though this lack of -recognition is, in some re-. spects, inevitable and not soon likely to be reme- died, it remains an unfortunate fact that the many triumphs of the minor sport squads receive little mention. LAST SATURDAY, for example, a squad of slight renown, the Michigan women's Speed Swim- ming Team, coached by Johanna High, captured second-place in the Big Ten Meet of the League's women's swimming teams held in East Lansing. The Michigan State and Michigan contingents, with scores of 406 and 376 respectively, finished far ahead of all the other conference competition which was paced by the distant third and fourth place showings of Indiana and Northwestern. Team mentor High cited the "really good effort on the part of all the swimmers" which brought the team its fine runner-up finish, an outcome, all in all, deemed satisfactory by High though defi- nite expectations that the Michigan team would prove the Meet's best aggregation of swimmers had once been entertained. On first thought, it might well seem that there is precious little in a second-place finish in the. largely unheralded competition of Big Ten wo- men's swimming which would warrant the proc- lamation of one's glory to the winds. But the per- formance of the Michigan team, worthy of men- tion in any respect, is especially notable in view of the circumstances of the Meet. The Michigan swimmers took ten of fifteen events and in all ten they established record times. Marks were set in the 200 and 400 yard medley relays as well as the 200 and 400 yard freestyle re- lays. Additionally, Laura Pasternak swam to re- cord times in the 50 and 100 yard backstroke com- petition wth times of 29.0 and 1:02.2. Maggie Stevens surpassed the previous record times in the 50 and 100 yard butterfly by posting times of 27.5 and 1:00.5 and Laura Novak maintain- ed the pattern established by bettering two records herself in the 100 and 200 yard individual medley races. Her times of 1:03.4 and 2:17.3now represent the fastest marks for the Meet in those events. The Michigan State team, fully funded by that school and under the instruction of a University-employed coach for the past six years, set just two records. SIGNIFICANTLY, the MSU squadenjoyed a de- cided advantage in the number of swimmers with 30 to Michigan's eleven. This is to be expected of the host team. Of the marked discrepancy, High later recalled, "I knew the night before that they (MSU) had it. So we just resigned ourselves to do the best we could." Despite their resignation to the stark fact that their lack of depth would effectively cripple their efforts toward the Meet championship, they set out to take the records and that they did most effectively. High commented, "We set the records by a good margin, and they'll stand for quite a while before they're broken." She asserted the Meet as one which pitted "a quality team against a quantity team" and an ex- amination of the Meet results provide little with which to dispute her statement.
