HARDY ADDS 22 IN 85-74 WIN
Blue bounces OSU behind McGee's 29
By HENRY ENGELHARDT
All season long Johnny Orr has said
that the Big Ten winner will have no
more than four loses. At halftime his 6-4
squad trailed Ohio State 39-35 and the
Wolverines were on the brink of loss
number five.
But Orr earned his 100th Big Ten
coaching victory and continued game to
game survival by knocking the
Buckeyes on their buns, 85-74.
MICHIGAN UPPED its record to 7-4,
good enough to hold on to fourth place in
the frantic, upset-bloated Big Ten race.
The Wolverines caught the Buckeyes
at 43, bartered with them for a while
before leaving the Buckeyes behind
without even waving goodbye.
It was a 51-50 Wolverine lead with
13:13 to play when Joel Thompson,. who
had a fever of 102 on Wednesday, hit one
of two free throws.
Thompson missed the second freebie,.
but Michigan snared the rebound and
Mike McGee scored two of his career
high 29 points on a baseline jump. Ohio
State called timeout, which only
;triggered the Michigan fans to an un-
provoked, spontaneous few minutes of
cheering.
WHEN THE TWO teams came back
on the court a good portion of the 13,497
partisans were on their feet giving the
home team some encouragement.
For two minutes the teams traded
points and the score was 58-54 when
Michigan called timeout, the crowd was
still enthused-"They were like crowds
on the' road are for 40 minutes,"
assistant coach Bill Frieder would say
later.
After the pause Michigan blitzed the
Buckeyes 8-3 and the game was never
in question again.
"WE PLAYED the second half with
intensity," said Orr. "The crowd helped
us, they fired us up."
The crowd wasn't the only help in the
victory. A stingy 1-3-1 zone defense also
turned the tide. Note the following:
* Ohio State's Kelvin Ransey had 15
points in the first half against
Michigan's man-to-man but tallied only
seven against the zone in the second
half.
THE BUCKEYES shot just a shade
under 60 per cent against the man-to-
man but hit only 46 per cent versus the
zone.
" Michigan outrebounded OSU 18-16
in half two after losing the battle of the
boards 18-15 in the initial stanza.
" MICHIGAN GOT the ball down-
court with authority off the zone. If a
few passes hadn't slipped through
McGee's hands or gone off Alan Har-
dy's feet it would have been a total
blowout.
"We wanted to go into the zone in the
first half," noted Orr, "but we couldn't
get the lead. We didn't feel we could
play (Buckeye coach) Eldon's (Miller)
team man to man, especially with Ran-
sey and (Ken) Page."
Down at the other end of the court
Michigan found McGee mismatched
against 6-4 Mike Cline first and later 6-2
Carter Scott.
McGEE SCORED almost at will, get-
ting good inside position countless
times on the smaller Buckeyes. He had
17 points in the first half and added 12
more down the stretch.'
In fact, Michigan's forwards looked
as good offensively as they have all
season. Hardy started slow but finished
the night with 22 markers, many from
long range.
He also added six rebounds, helping
pick up the slack for Thompson, who
was weak after a day with the flu.
"Yesterday (Wednesday) I was
throwing up and had a temperature of
102," explained Michigan's game cen-
ter, "but today I woke up and felt a lot
better.
"I was getting pretty lightheaded as
the game went on," Thompson said.
"The zone really helped out."
The senior skyjumper was well
enough to pop for 14 points but garnered
only six rebounds, well under his usual.
ALL TOTALED the starting front line
scored 65 of Michigan's 85 total. But the
guards, though unnoticed in the scoring
figures, made a strong contribution.
Baxter passed out eight assists and in
Orr's words, "was all over the floor."
Staton was a hawk on defense, pulled
down five rebounds and stole the ball
three times.
Michigan shot 59 per cent in the
second half and was lucky to be down
only four at the midway point after a 42
per cent shooting in the first half.
"WE NEED back to back first and
second halves to win," cautioned Har-
dy. And that's what it will take
tomorrow against the league leading
Spartans.
"We hope we'll ploy well and they
don't," said Orr. "They have too many
good players for us to beat them if they
play well."
But as Orr concluded his postgame
remarks, "No one thought we'd beat
them up there," he said with a hearty
laugh, "and we did."

Then Radford was fouled and sank
both free throws before Purdue's
Walter Jordan scored an uncontested
basket at the buzzer.
Indiana's red-hot shooting of 67 per
cent kept the Hoosiers in front most of
the game, with their biggest leads at
eight points. But Purdue's rebounding
edge and the free-throw accuracy of
Sichting kept the Boilermakers within
reach.
Indiana's victory left both teams at
13-7 for the season. Purdue fell to 8-3 in
the conference, while Indiana raised its
Big Ten mark to 5-6.
Alone at the top
IOWA CITY (UPI) - Michigan State,
paced by guard Robert Chapman's 22
points, used clutch free throw shooting
and took advantage of a six-minute cold
spell to edge Iowa 71-70 last night in a
Big Ten game.
Iowa led at halftime, 32-27, and had a
49-43 lead with 11 minutes remaining.
However, the Hawkeyes managed only
one field goal during the next 6
minutes as Michigan State jumped on
top, 58-54, behind the passing and
scoring of forward Earvin Johnson.
Michigan State was outscored from
the field, 56-48, but cashed in on 23 of 35
at the free throw line. Iowa State hit
only 14 of 26 freethrows and were
outrebounded by 11, 49-38.
Wings
Clipped'
By KEVINROSEBOROUGH
Special to The Daily
DETROIT- The Detroit Red Wings
were thwarted in their attempt to move
into third place in the Norris Division
last night, dropping a 5-3 decision to the
Boston Bruins.
The Wings jumped out to a 3-0 lead on
tallies by Nick Libet, Vaclav Nadoman-
sky and rookie Reed Larson. But a
Bruin blitz in the middle of the second
period resulted in four straight goals,
two by Bob Miller, in a 7:27 stand.
Gregg Sheppard beat Jimmy Ruther-
ford with what proved to be the winner
at 15:17 of the second period.
THE HARD FOUGHT affair was a
refreshing change from the lackluster
performances the Wings usually come
up with against the Bruins. They lost
the last two games with Boston by
scores of 7-0 and 6-1.
They Wings remained one point
behind the third place Pittsbirgh
Penguins, who were idle last night.
