Special to The Daily
COLUMBUS-It was St. John's feast
day here last night, at least for 13,489
fans who packed St. John's arena and
witnessed a spirited Ohio State team
defeat Michigan, 86-71.
S"I was very happy with one thing,
that is the enthusiasm we played with
tonight. I'll take the mistakes if we play
with enthusiasm," said Buckeye coach
Eldon Miller.
The home town crowd, time and
again proving its value in Big Ten com-
petition this year, rallied the Buckeye
squad and razzed the cagers from Ann
Arbor repeatedly during the game.
Meanwhile a young Ohio State team
dominated the boards on both ends of
the court and took advantage of the
open lane to score most of its points
from within ten feet.
The men in the maize and blue, on the
other hand, found a slid on the rim,
shooting only 38.8 percent from the
field-33 percent in the second half.
"Our problem was we couldn't make
the open shot. We had plenty of them,"
said Michigan coach Johnny Orr.
Michigan jumped out to a quick lead
in the opening emoments of the game,
scoring on the Buckeyes' man-on-man
defense. But Miller quickly shifted his
squad to a zone defense, which the
Wolverines' cold shooting couldn't
break.
Immediately after the move, the
Bucks popped in ten consecutive points,
giving them a six point lead which
Michigan failed to recover from.
The Wolverines closed to within two
late in the period after Buckeye center
Herb Williams collected his fourth per-
sonal foul. But a pair of buckets in the
last minute sent Ohio State to the locker
room six points to the good.
Michigan continued to use a zone
press in the second half which Orr
went to early in the game to combat
State's offensive strength. But while the
press caused 22 turnovers, the
Wolverines committed 20 of their own
g ie pas
and. found themselves fouling in the
process.
When Williams fouled out with 5:36
remaining, allowing Mike McGee's two
free throws to cut the margin to five, it
appeared as if the momentum was tur-
ning.
On the resulting inbounds pass again-'
st the zone, McGee, the Wolverines'
best shooter for the evening at 39 per-
cent, bumped Ohio State center Jim
Ellinghausen. The foul was McGee's
FIFTH, sending him to the bench as
Michigan's high scorer with 19 points.
Michigan took 17 shots in the next two
and one half minutes-only one of them
fell. Ohio State's luck didnt prove much
better, but the few that did pass through
the net put the Buckeyes out in front, 74-
bungling Blue
63 with 2:51 remaining.
Ohio State could not, however, put the
Wolverines away for good. Michigan
continued to press, and sophomore
guard Mark Lozier began to drive to the
basket instead of the outside shots his
team could not connect on all evening.
Still the shots didn't fall but the Bucks
began to foul, putting the burden of
Michigan's comeback hopes at the
charity stripe. Lozier and forward Alan
Hardy both missed the front end of
bonus one-on-one free throws. And Ohio
State's spread out, delay offense found
men under the basket three times in the
last two minutes, fanning' the flame un-
der the crowd and-sealing the victory.
"When we needed the free throw or
the basket, we couldn't do it," said Orr,
"when you don't do it, you lose."
"I know it (the crowd) helped
motivate our team," said Miller amidst
the noise, "but it didn't hutt theirs. How
can it affect the University of Michigan,
having gone to the tournaments four
years in a row?"
Orr however, felt the crowd may
have affected his team. "When you get
on the road," he said, "you don't know
what is going to happen to ypu."
But the victory was the team's
doing-not the crowd, and Orr was
quick to point that out.
"I don't take anything away from
Ohio State. They called on a lot of
players and they all responded very
well."
Indeed the Bucks employed the
resources at hand. Miller sent all 14
players into the game. Eight of them"
found the scoring mark, with four it
double figdres. Freshman Ken Page hit
18 while guard Kelvin Ransey chipped,
in 15.
The loss dropped the Wolverines from
sole possession of second place in the
Big Ten into a tie with Purdue and Min-
nesota. The league leading Michigaf
State Spartans will put its two game-
lead on the line against these same
Buckeyes here Thursday night.

It was a double dip Sunday for Michi-
4 gans gymnastics teams, but the results
18 left a bad taste in their mouths' as both
6 teams dropped meets to Michigan
is State. The bad news for the men was
7 206.65-200.7, while for the women it was
131.25-120.65.
10 Neither team performed up to expec-
5 tations in the double dual meet. From
0 the beginning they were overpowered
0 by the Spartan tumblers and the en-
80 thusiastic partisan crowd.
"HITTING FLOOR exercise started
the ball rolling," said Spartan coach
_ George Szypula. "The crowd got behind
us, the momentum kept building and we
hit steady on everything. It's a great
thrill beating Newt (Loken). We go
back a long way."
The MSU victory was the first over
Michigan's men in a dual meet since
1966 and was the result of consistent
high scoring by the Spartans in all
ft events. Several events found a
I Michigan man on top with Spartans
I bunched in the three or four places
y directly below him.
In this manner they were able to out-
t. score Michigan in pommel horse, con-
h sidered to be the event in which
d- Michigan maintained the greatest ad-
*s vantage over the Spartans.
Costly breaks and falls from the hor-
n. se gave MSU a three-point edge follow-
n- ing two of Michigan's strongest events,
r and the Wolverines could never catch
't the fired up Spartans.
d SPECIALISTS provided the only
to bright spots for the Blue's tumblers.
it Brian Carey topped a quartet of Spar-
a tans on the horse with his 9.1 score. Carl
e Badger's 9.4 vault left a trio in the dust.
.r Bob Creek captured first place in high
iA bar with his 9.3, while John Corritore
n awed a knowledgable crowd with a 9.45
r after successfully hitting his double
back sommersault dismount.
r Darrel Yee on rings and Jim Varilek
d in floor exercise also gave strong per-
formances for Michigan, while fresh-
person all-arounder Marshall Garfield
scored a highly respectable 49.6 in his
first collegiate meet. Jeff Rudolph of
MSU topped the all-around with a 52.45.
Michigan coach Loken looked for-
ward after the meet. "The guys were
shocked into realizing they've got to
work harder to end the season with a
respectable record," he said. Our work
is cut out for us, but when Nigel (Roth-
well) comes back we'll be a consider-
ably higher scoring team."
WHILE DEPTH and momentum cost
the men's team their meet, it appeared
that the women's team was psyched out
by the defending state champion Spar-
tans. Both teams turned in season low
scores, in the meet. For MSU it was the
lowest score in several years.
The difference appeared to be con-
centration as the Michigan women
were plagued by falls on bars, beam
and floor exercise which caused them
to score well below the 128 point level
that they reached twice last week.
The Spartans, minus the services of
top performer Pam Steckroat who suf-
fered a minor injury during warm-up,
turned in ragged performances in all
events, but remained in complete con-
trol of their routines and consequently
avoided the falls that hurt Michigan.
"We're a better team than this. We
should have scored better than last
year (122)," said assistant coach Don
McElreath. There were too many shaky
routines. The women weren't as
dynamic as in past meets.
"THEY WERE PSYCHED out from
the beginning," McElreath continued.
"They didn't have their usual drive, no
pizazz in the routines. They were just
putting in time."
Sara Flom provided most of the
bright spots for the women. She gained
a first place tie on the uneven bars
along with MSU's Mary Beth Eigel, and
she and Ginger Robey took second and
third, respectively, in vaulting.
FLOM'S CONSISTENT perform-
ances enabled her to place second all
around to Eigel, 33.65-32.7.
Hopes remain high for the remainder
of the tumblers' seasons as they return
to action next Sunday in a double dual
meet against Indiana.
"We'll get back on the road to victory
next week versus Indiana," chorused
Loken and McElreath.
