The Michigan pep band was busy serenading the fans, and a cheering war be- tween Wolverine and Spar- tan partisans was in full force. All this before the open- ing face-off in last night's Michigan - Michigan S t a t e hockey game. For the followers of Maize and' Blue hockey fortunes, the action should have ceased then and there.

Though Michigan continues to lose, somehow the players retain confidence. Following the loss, Angie Moretto predicted, "We should make the playoffs. But even if we don't, we'll play the spoiler role on some teams." Somehow, it's hard to imagine Michigan's hockey team spoiling anything for anybody. But, we'll, see. Fiesty Farmers SCORING By The Associated Press DETROIT-Two free throws by John Brisker with six seconds left enabled the Seattle Supersonics to edge the Detroit Pistons 106-104 in a National Basketball Association game last night. It was the second straight vic- tory and third in the last four games for new Seattle coach Mor- ris Buckwalter, who took over one week ago. Brisker and Spencer Haywood, both former Detroit-area college stars, provided the big scoring punch for the Sonics, who saw an 85-71 lead early in the fourth per- iod vanish under a 25-10 Detroit onslaught before Brisker finally tossed in the winning shots. Haywood had 18 points, Brisker 21 and guard Vick Snyder 18 for the Sonics, who outscored Detroit 28-16 in the third period and ap- peared to be sailing along until the Pistons came alive in the fourth period. With Dave Bing knocking in 11 points and Bob Lanier 8, the Pis- tons grabbed a 96-95 lead. The score was then tied 100-100 and 104-104 when Brisker got his chance. The Sonics tossed in 47 baskets, 10 more than Detroit, as the Pis- tons staged a merry parade to the foul line, hitting on 30 of 38 at- tempts to only 12 of 15 for Seattle. But Seattle's final six points came from the free throw line. Bing with 26 points and Stu Lantz with 20 points topped the Pistons, who protested the game in the third period with coach Ray Scott claiming "poor officiating" for his reason. Celtics sweep BOSTON-Dave Cowens pumped in 35 points and hauled down 20 rebounds last night as the Boston Celtics extended their winning streak to seven games with a 117-99 National Basketball Asso- ciation victory over the Portland Trailblazers. Cowens and John Havlicek, who threw in 24 points, combined to lead the Celtics to an 18-5 advant- age in the first five minutes of the game, a lead they never re- liquished. T he Trailblazers, who have lost six games in a row, managed to cut its deficit to one point when Sidney Wicks scored two of his 19 point total with 2:32 remaining in the second period. t Hawks hover PHILADELPHIA - The Atlanta Hawks, with six players scoring in double figures, pulled away in the final quarter for a 122.106 vic- tory over the Philadelphia 76ers yesterday in a National Basketball Association contest. Pete Maravich and Lou Hudson sparked the winners with 25 and 22 points, respectively, and played big roles in Atlanta's final period spurt. Philadelphia led 91-89 at the start of the last quarter, but At- lanta then ran off nine straight points for a 98-91 lead with 7:51 left. The Hawks boosted their lead to nine points, at 104-95, and Phila- delphia could never cut its deficit to less than five points the rest of the way. Wings whacked DETROIT - The Chicago Black Hawks scored three times in the third period and rallied for a 6-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings in National Hockey League action last night. The loss snapped the Wings' six- game winning streak and ran their losing streak against Chicago to 14 straight. Chicago's three unanswered goals were by Cliff Koroll, Jean Borde- leau and Dick Redmond, the last into an empty net. The Black Hawks jumped off to a quick 2-0 lead on goals by Pit Martin and Jim Tappin before Mickey Redmond put the Wings on the scoreboard at 15:15. Guy Charron and Marcel Dion added two more goals late in the period to send the Wings into the dressing room with a 3-2 lead.

If it's a disadvantage, it doesn't phase him: "I know from experience how hard it is to check a quick little guy." And that's what Joe is, extremely quick. When he gets an outlet pass he fairly explodes up court with the ball. C. J. Kupec looks just like the defensive end he was in high school.' (Bo Schembechler since switched him to tight end). But at 6-8 and 225 lbs, he doesn't play like most big men. C. J. is happier on the outside with a little shooting room and a chance to handle the ball. On the court, Joe is a backslapper, the take-charge guy who increasingly generates confidence and excitement by his leader- ship and play. C. J. is less emotional. He is shy, taciturn and seems just a bit embarrassed by the publicity inevitably attendant upon success. Neither player's heroics show up in the flashy scoring and rebounding statistics. But that isn't really surprising when a team has two established superstars, and two other proven senior starters. Joe's role has been as a playmaker, an indis- pensable element Michigan lacked last year. It was a slow start for Johnson. He committed far too many turnovers and had trouble adjusting whenMichigan slowed down its offense. As a freshman, on a team that ran the fast break as well as most varsity clubs, Johnson chipped in almost 20 points a game, and was able to drive at will. This season the going got a little rougher, and Joe often found the lane clogged when he drove. The nadir was against Ohio State, a game Joe calls "the worst of my career, college or high school." He committed nu- merous turnovers and simply did not 'look like a team leader. "I made a lot of mistakes, but I feel I'm a good enough ball- player to adjust to any game. I just didn't do it fast enough." He's adjusted now. In the last two games he has committed only three turnovers and against Michigan State and their ber- serk crowd of partisan fans, Johnny Orr called his floor game "flawless". For C. J., it has been a similar switch. He fared poorly in New York at the Holiday Festival, but since then he has come off the bench in each of the last three games to help spark the team when it was down. C. J. has also played an important role in a new Michigan tactic, the stall. Ballhandling chores in those situations have been handled primarily by Joe Johnson, Wilmore, and - you guessed it, C. J. Considering that no more than a few months ago, the con- tributions Kupec and Johnson would make to Michigan basket- ball this seasonrwere ofsome doubt, their contributions have been all the more appreciated. In June, Joe was playing what he felt was the best basket- ball of his life down in a small high gym in Detroit, where things sometimes have a tendency to get out of hand. When a friend got into an argument with some opponents during a pick-up game ,and Joe tried to interfere, he ended up with a bullet in his arm and in his chest. Although the injury didn't do any permanent physical dam- age, it was psychologically devastating. Johnson calls the three weeks he spent in the hospital convalescing "the worst of my life." Having fancied himself a varsity starter from the middle of his freshman season on, he was seized with a fear that he wouldn't get his game back when he started playing again. He didn't for a long time, but by the end of the summer things be- gan to fall back into place. C. J.'s -situation wasn't a personally traumatic one like Joe's, but it might have been for Michigan's basketball fortunes.

Against Southern Illinois, the NCAA's best, Michigan must put together some outstanding performances to win. Gura, one of the three seniors on Loken's young squad, injured his ankle last Saturday in the Ohio State's dual meet. He suffered an ankle sprain, and the swelling that resulted will hamper Gura's per- formance tonight. Gura, the captain of the team, captured the all-around title in the Ohio State meet. He posted a 9.0 in side horse competition, fin- ishing with a 52.10 total. Battling the defending NCAA champs tonight, the Wolverines will turn to Bruce Medd and Bruce Keeshin to help Gura out. "Gura's injury means losing a sure nine plus score in floor ex- ercise and vaulting, and to date Medd and Keeshin have not scored that high. They'll be trying, though," Loken commented. Veterans Ward Black and Terry Boys plan to upset a highly touted Southern Illinois floor exercise team.
