The London Flu has arrived in Ann Arbor, and is expected to peak in about a week. It's symptoms may include a sore throat, fever, cough, headache, and general achy feeling. HEALTH SERVICE DOCTORS HAVE THESE SUGGESTIONS: 1) STAY IN BED 2) DRINK PLENTY OF LIQUID 3) TAKE ASPIRIN {that advice sounds vaguely familiar . . .) Doctors even tell us that vou're better off not making the trip outside to come to Health Service. But you should see a physician if your fever recurs after 5 days. bers of the "second ten," the most explosive is likely to be the renewal of the Florida State- Jacksonville feud. Both teams have been minor disappointments - State having lost three out of twelve and Jacksonville two out of thirteen so far - but Florida has had to overcome the loss of star guard Ron King who has a broken ankle, and Jacksonville has shown occasional flashes of brilliance, most particularly a 120- 78 rout of 13th-ranked Southwest- ern Louisiana. This one should be spectacular, to say the least. Probably the best game of the weekend, preempted from the tube by Tricky Dick's Corona- tion, will take place down in Bloomington, Indiana, where the sixth-ranked Minnesota Gophers visit the sixteenth-ranked Hoos- iers. Minnesota needs a win both to reestablish its position in the Big 10 title race and to amelior- ate the bad effects of its upset by Iowa, while a victory by In- diana would clearly establish it as a first-rank title contender, as well as drive the Gophers to the brink of elimination from ser- ious title contention. Minnesota invades Bloomington fresh from that impressive victory over Marquette, and with 6-9 Jim Brewer, 6-10 Ron Behagan and 6-9 Clyde Turner up front they are big, strong and rugged. Brewer is their superstar, last year's Big 10 MVP, a member of the snakebit U.S. Olympic b a s- ketball team, a good shooter, and extremely powerful at grabbing rebounds and playing defense. Indiana will counter with a shorter but quicker lineup high- lighted by freshman Quinn Buck- ner who, now fully recovered from the experience of playing Indiana football, is beginning o more than live up to his super- star billing. The Ohio State-Iowa g a m e should particularly appeal to those people who get their jol- lies from betting on tiddlywinks and collecting stamps from the Seychelle Islands. Both teams have been doggedly mediocre: a plus for Iowa, a minus for OSU. Iowa has one outstanding play- er, 7-foot center Kevin K u n- nert, who averages 18 points and 14 rebounds per game, and a pair of capable guards in JC- transfer Candy LaPrince and Rick Williams. Although t h e y have lost three in a row follow- ing their upset of Minnesota, Buckeye Coach Fred Taylor speaks of them with respect. "They are the type of team that can play well, a very up- tempo type." Considering t h e way his team has been playing, UJCLA Taylor has every right to be wor- ried. Ohio has made some personnel changes for the Iowa game. Slumping Luke Witte has been benched, and Craig Taylor w i 11 start at center in place of re- gular Bill Andreas, who h a s been ill with the flu and a cold. Allan Hornyak should have little trouble equalling his 23.8 season scoring average, ,but none of the other OSU starters averages more than 9.7 points. Iowa and OSU have played one common foe: Michigan. Both lost, Ohio by a 68-62 count at Columbus, Iowa by a 71-59 tally at Crisler Arena. Another also-rannish matchup has the Michigan State Spartans visiting Madison, Wisconsin to take on the hopeless Badgers. Wisconsin began the year with high enough hopes, but a first- game slaughtering by UCLA be- gan a pattern which has contin- ued through its most recent de- feats by Indiana, Illinois, and Minnesota. Granted, these a r e good teams, easy to lose to, but so is MSU. Badger mainstays are 6-11 cen- ter Kim Hughes and 6-4 guard Gary Anderson, and Coach John Powless has claimed that "this squad has the best talent, the best depth we've had at Wis- consin. This is as eager and com- petitive a group of players as I've had." Considering r e c e n t Badger basketball history, he might be right. ,1 Weekdays 10 a.m. 'to Noon 763-4384 AP Photo ALLEN SMITH (44) of MSU found the Wolverine defenders Ernie Johnson (30) and Henry Wilmore (25) hard to pass through last Saturday.

From games involving mem- eatherspoon paces short Illini in tough hoop battles this season By GEORGE HASTINGS Illinois basketball coach Harv Schmidt faces a tough situation. In a normal Big Ten year of the past, his Illini team would be one of the stronger squads, at least a dark-horse contender for the con- ference crown. But in this vintage Big Ten year Illinois, a team without a big front line in a league with lots of big front lines, is going to have to play excellent ball merely to stay. out of the second division. I SGT. PEPPER 1028 E. UNIVERSITY 662-0202 ing, pulling down 11.8 caroms per contest, as well as being one of. the Illini's best defensive per-1 formers. Schmidt is touting Weatherspoon as an All-America possibility, and so far he has played that way, as his figures put him in the con- ference's top five in both scoring and rebounding. . Also considered strong points for the Illini are the two guard spots. Jeff Dawson, a senior, has been a tremendous addition this year to Illinois, after sitting out last sea- son as a transfer, playing his fresh- man and sophomore seasons for Duke. A good outside shooter, Dawson has provided fine scoring help for Weatherspoon, averaging 19.9 per contest. ;Dawson, whose brother Jim was all-Big Ten for the Illini in 1967, is also the team's chief playmaker. STARTING at the other guard is a manRwho can also play forward, 6-6 Otho Tucker. The sophomore has been a bright surprise for Schmidt, averaging 11 points so far this season. The two front line mates for Weatherspoon, however, have been the sore spots. The Illini's 6-6 center, Nick Conner, has been' playing fairly well, scoring 12.2 a game and pulling down nearly 10 boards, but just cannot physi-I cally match other Big Ten centers such as Kevin Kunnert, Jim Brew- er, and Ken Brady. The other forward snot has also been tough to fill, as two more 6.5 players, Rick Schmidt and RJed+ Foster, have been splitting thej playing time. SO FAR, though, the Illini have been playing some good basket- ball despite their physical handi- caps. They sport a 7-4 record, with two wins and a loss in Big Ten play, including an impressive 80-78 win over Iowa last Saturday in Champaign. One of their more impressive performances was actually a loss, to UCLA. In that game, the finale of the Sugar Bowl Classic in New Orleans, the Illini kept even with the awesome Bruins through most of the ,first half, then stayed within seven or eight points the rest of the contest, but never could get close enough to tie it up, going down by a very respectable 71-64 score. Illinois' problem has been, one which Michigan fans can sympa- thize with-the Illini have been able to win only at home. They're 6-0 on their home court, but only 1-4 in foreign territory. The pattern so far has carried over into the Big Ten schedule perfectly. Both Illinois victories, the upset over Iowa as well as a 76-74 win over Wisconsin, have been achieved on home ground. MEANWHILE, the only loss suf- fered by the Illini in the confer- ence was incurred at Purdue, where Illinois took a 91-80 setback from the Boilermakers. So, when the Illini, idle today and next Saturday take their home floor again for a Big Ten contest, they will be playing in an arena in which they have not yet lost this year, Wolverine fans should be wary, for Michigan is that next opponent, and this Illinois team is going to pull some upsets during the course of the year.
