Page Seven t, I Saturday, January 13, 1973 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, January 13, 1973 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Wolverines plot end, Icers dump Denver to Spartan win streak in final period By BOB HEUER hi After opening the Big Ten sea- son against Ohio State in Colum- bus and the giant-killing Iowa s Hawkeyes, the biggest problem for the Michigan cagers in facing Michigan State appeared to be one of avoiding a letdown against the unheralded Spartans. The. rampaging charges of Gus n Ganakas however, have seen to it that the Wolverines need no extra incentive in today's 4:00 meeting i t in East Lansing. For beside the throw - away - the - record - book i notion implicit in all Michigan- 1 Michigan State contests, the Spar- tans own a seven-game win streak, two holiday tournament 1 victories, and the loop's second best season record at 8-2. True, the Spartans schedule has been a bit marshmellowy, but sev- en straight wins, regardless of the opposition, are hard to quarrel with.. "We haven't really played Correction USC's Sam Cunningham has been given credit for holding the Rose Bowl record for the most touchdowns, four. Actually Neil Snow of the Maize, and Blue is the proud owner of that record,' garnering five in Michigan's 1902 rout. On Tuesday, the Daily will present an eyewitness ac- count of the real record per- formance, so stay tuned. the heavies," says Ganakas, "but still, this team is stronger than' anybody felt they would be." The MSU streak started modest- ly with victories over Western and Central Michigan. Next came the, Kodak classic where the Spar- tans knocked off the host team has done a pretty fair job of co- ordinating talent himself. With on- y the addition of sophomore standout Lindsay Hairston to last year's 13-11 squad, Ganakas has molded a winning unit capable of challenging for the Big Ten title Teamed with Robinson at guard will be 5-5 playmaker Gary Ga- nakas, who has finally thrown off the "coach's son"' stigma in prov- ng that the little man can make t in the Big Ten. Senior pivotman Bill Kilgore has finally gotten some rebounding help in the presence of Lindsay Hairston. Turning his attention more to putting the ball in the bas- ket instead of grabbing it off, Kil- gore has boosted his scoring out- put to 16.7 points a game, second only to Robinson's 23.1. Hairston has performed well also, averaging 13.8 a game at a forward spot. Just a shade be- hind is 6-5 senior Allen Smith, who averages 12 points and seven re-j bounds a contest. The Spartans plan to run a man- to-man defense against Michigan's varied attack. The match-ups will include Allen Smith on Campy Russell, Kilgore on Ken Brady, Hairston on Ernie Johnson, Gana- kas on Henry Wilmore, and Rob- inson covering Joe Johnson. OF THE GARY Ganakas-Henry Wilmore mis-match, Coach Gana- kas jokingly said he hopes that "Wilmore will see who's guard- ing him and immediately become overconfident." He admitted ear- lier in the week that Michigan State may do some shifting of de- fenses. "I don't think we can stay with them man-to-man all the way," he lamented. Ganakas' respect for the op- position is echoed by his counter- part, Johnny Orr. "This is State's finest team in a long, long time," commented Orr. "They're tall and talented." Orr is riding high on the team's success after taking some heavy abuse during the non-conference portion of the schedule. His sticky zone defense gave iowa fits, and the defense as a whole, has made up for a lot of early season defi- ciencies. Orr would not go as far as to say that his team has jelled. "You can lose momentum just as fast as you gain it," he said. "But right now, we've got as much confi- dence as we've had at any time." Speaking of the Iowa game, Orr reflected, "We didn't shoot well, but we controlled the game and played with poise." Michigan will probably go with the zone defense again today. If they do switch to a man-to-man, Joe Johnson will draw the hot- shooting Robinson, an old high school rival in the Detroit City League. ON OFFENSE, ORR1 plans to stick with the 2-3, single pivot at- tack. If theWolverineshopen up a lead in the second half, they may go to the 2-1-2 with Ken Brady in the middle, in an attempt to slow down the tempo and draw fouls. Michigan will be at full strength for the game with the exception of Jake Whitten who has been un- der the weather for a few days and may or may not suit up. In other Conference action, In- diana, hoping to put a permanent damper on Ohio State's title chances, entertains the Buckeyes in Bloomington. Purdue, also un- defeated, plays host to the North- western Wildcats. Iowa and Illinois, each standing at 1-1 in the conference, tangle on regional television at Champaign and Minnesota will try to even its record at the hands of winless Wis- consin.

Le non a ey a, wmuu t ila Today in Sports Grapplers grip 'Cats HE WOLVERINE GRAPPLERS, fresh from a 31-6 pasting of Ohio State, take on the Wildcats of Northwestern in a 3:30 meet this afternoon. Coach Rick Bay put his troops through a tough week of practice in preparation for this Big Ten clash at Crisler Arena. Northwestern sports a 1-0 dual meet record, which tech- nically means that this will be a battle of the unbeatens. Actually the Wildcats finished fifth in the Midlands Invitational which was about 20 points behind the Wolverine's fourth place finish. Northwestern's lone dual meet win was a 31-6 mauling of lowly Purdue. "Northwestern was the surprise of the Midlands Tourna- ment" stated Bay. "And they could pose a few, problems for us if their top wrestlers win big." Bay also added that, "they're the kind of team that's either real strong in some weights or real weak in others." Those wrestlers who might "pose a few problems" include All-American Mark Massery. Captain Massery was fifth in the nation as a sophomore and placed third in the Midlands. At 158 lbs. senior Leo Kocher will be tangling with Wolverine captain Mitch Mendrygal in a return bout of last year. The Wildcat decisioned Mendrygal in last year's dual meet. Andre Allen, at 142 lbs., is one of the best sophs in the country and earned a third place finish in the Midlands. The Wolverines may get an automatic win at 118 lbs. as the Wildcats may not be able to field a man at that weight. If that's the case, Michigan will be off to a good start in chalking up their fifth straight win of the season. Tumblers take on Bucks THE FIRST HALF of a blockbusting Wolverine sports double- header takes place this afternoon at 1:00 at the Michigan gym- nastics team hosts Ohio State at Crisler Arena. The meet is the first of the Big Ten season for the Wolverines who are young and untried. Coach Newt Loken is looking for a score of 160 from his tumblers, a score he says, will be "the starting point for improvement". The Buckeyes, so often the nemesis of Wolverine athletic squads, should prove to be an easy victim this afternoon. Reports from their camp indicate that they are capable of scoring in the 150 range. However, they have three solid 9.0 scores in Tom Schultz, Tom Hunt, and Bill Hammond. Michigan young squad is counting heavily upon such estab- lished stars as all-arounder Ray Gura and floor exercise dynamo Ward Black. While the outcome of the meet should not be in doubt, it should provide a key as to how far Loken's boys can go in an effort to regain the title it lost to Iowa last year. se c By BOB SIMON Ihave The University of Michigan swim beat team once again swept to a de- adm LL -cisive meet victory last night and yea A tla n a ~this week's guest victim was Big sho Ten foe Wisconsin.
