The Michigan Daily-Sunday, February 5, 1978-Page 9 Fouls halt Blue comebaek (Continued from Page 1) basket," Schaus noted of last Monday's 80-65 Purdue win. However, Purdue survived and the primary factor was the foul situation. Purdue scored 25 points from the chari- ty stripe, while Michigan had but eight. "They sank only eight field goals in the second half and two of them came right down the stretch. They shot 34 free throws, and we got 13. That's the ballgame," Wolverine Tom Staton said. NOT ONLY DID the Boilermakers get the points, but they managed to get some key players out of the Wolverine lineup during the final critical minutes of the game. Staton fouled out with 7:27 left and Joel Thompson followed 36 sec- onds later. In both instances, Michigan was only trailing by five points. After Thompson left, Purdue's Drake Morris hit two free throws making the score 62-55. Then Mike McGee came down with a rebound and was fouled by 7-1 center Joe Barry Carroll. McGee hit both, putting Michigan within five for the last time. With 5:37 left, Morris connected on two free throws, making the score 64-57. Michigan could not score as Carroll blocked a hook by Tom Bergen. Then, after both teams missed a scoring op- portunity, Carroll leaped high over the crowded lane and tipped. in a rebound giving Purdue a nine-point lead with 4:30 left. "CARROLL'S BASKET, that 4ip-in basket, was a big basket. It gave us a lift when we really needed it. We needed a field goal there," Schaus said, Carroll was an immovable fixture in the lane throughout the game. He wiped the boards for seventeen rebounds, and teaming with Jordan who had 11, the two often held Michigan to one shot, especially in the first half. "In the first half, they were a great team," said Michigan coach Johnny Orr." They controlled the boards so much there in the early going." Purdue outrebounded Michigan 25-13 in the first half. THE BOILERMAKERS jumped out to a 12-0 lead before Michigan got on the boards via a goaltending call on Carroll after 4:43 of play. McGee got the first Wolverine basket after a drought of 5:37. "We were flat to begin with, I don't know the reason why," Orr said. "The kids think they're moving sometimes when they're not. "We've played everyone in the con- ference now, and I think Purdue is the best team we've played. But I think Purdue played better at our place than they did here," he added. JORDAN LED the Boilermakers with 19 points, which tied him with McGee for the game's top scoring honors. "Generally the toughest games are when Walter plays the best. I thought Carroll and Jordan got us going," Schaus said. "That was a big win, because it's one of the three teams that's in it. Playing at home, we had ta win this basketball game," he said. Head coach Terry Donahue of UCLA played -in a Rose Bowl game for the Bruins and also served as an assistant coach in the New Year's Day contest in Pasadena.

Flom-boyant showing falls short of victory It was a step up in class for the women's gymnastics team against powerful Kent State and step up they did, breaking nearly every individual and team record while bowing to the Lady Flashes 138.1-133.75. Wisconsin forfeited due to the ineligibility of two of their top gymnasts. The team score represented a quan- tum leap over the previous high score of 128.6 registered in an earlier meet this season against Chicago-Circle. SOPHOMORE Sara Flom almost re- wrote the women's record book in an af- ternoon of outstanding performances. Flom captured first place in three of the four individual events en route to a record-breaking first place all-around total of 35.25 points, which destroys her past varsity mark of 33.0. Also included in the assault by Flom were varsity records in uneven bars and floor exercise in which she scored 9.0 and 9.1, respectively. Added to this was a first place vault of 8.9. The only flaw of the meet for Flom was a fall from the balance beam while attempting a front aerial, a new trick for her. "The scoring seems easier in Ohio," said Flom in explaining her success. "This is the most consistent I've been all year and my concentration is the best I've had yet. I went in there and had a good day." WERE IT NOT for the presence of Flom, freshperson Colleen Forrestel might have been the story of the day. Forrestel parlayed strong perform- ances in all the events into an all- around total of 33.8 points which also topped the previous varsity record. Coach Anne Cornell was very pleased as the tumblers finally cracked their season long goal of 130 points. "We looked good today," she said, "we would have liked to win but Kent State has a very good program." "WITH BIG TEN'S (championship meet) next week it's good to score well," she continued. "We could place second judging from our score." The eyes of the team look to the Big Ten's in Iowa. A high finish there would mark the turning point of the women's gymnastics program. -Daily Sports 0 ATTH7E WE COVER EVERYTIN 1 y V I I v /' 9 l i a << r h . i y - .1 j K r ,. i / Y __. __ /:. __~ yam, WE WANT YOU .. . to help new students next fall apply to be a FALL ORIENTATION LEADER 00 0 e. %, jIn C
