ZICHIGAN ZONE STUMPS IOWA:
Hawks grounded, 66-56
By ERNIE DUNBAR
Special to The Daily
IOWA CITY -=If Michigan coach
Johnny Orr had any doubts about the
effectiveness of a zone defense, his
team's 66-56 victory last night over the
Iowa Hawkeys should have made him a
believer.
The Wolverines used a 1-3-1 zone
defense in the second half to thwart the
Hawkeyes attack which had kept Iowa
close throughout the first period.
With center Joel Thompson clogging
the middle, the Hawkeyes had difficulty
getting the ball inside and couldn't find
the basket from the outside.
Michigan, on the other hand, widened
its two point half-time edge with some
hot outside shooting by Thompson and
forward Alan Hardy. Hardy led
Michigan in scoring with 18 points and
took team honors in the rebounding
category with nine. Thompson cashed
in with 14 points and Tom Staton hit for
13.
The Hawkeyes threw a surprising 2-1-
2 zone defense at the Wolverines
throughout most of the game, and for
the first half it seemed to have
Michigan baffled. The Wolverines were
forced to shoot from the outside instead
of running its more comfortable fast
break game, and the Hawkeyes offense
had Michigan committing six fouls in
the first six minutes.
"We switched to a zone defense
because we were getting into foul
trouble," said Orr after the game. "We
never start out with a zone. We like to
be able to play man to man and stay
with it, unless we get into foul trouble."
"What we did out there tonight gave
the coaches new faith in the zone defen-
se," said Staton in the jubulant
Wolverine locker room.
The zone also seemed to help the
Wolverines in the foul department as
they canned 14 free throws in the
second half as compared to none in the
first half. For the Hawkeyes it was just
the opposite, as they sunk ten charity
tosses in the first half and then none in
the final stanza.
Iowa coach Lute Olson also felt that
Michigan's zone was the key to the
game.,
"The zone was the difference," said
Olson. "We came to a standstill. The
turning point was in the first five
minutes of the second half."
Iowa, playing without top rebounder
Bill Mayfield, who broke his hand at In-
diana in last week's loss to the
Hoosiers, still managed to outrebound
the Wolverines, 34-30.
But what the Hawkeyes lost in
Mayfield they got in the scoring depar-
tment from sophomore guard Ronnie
Lester, who led all scorers with 20 poin-
ts. Center Larry Olsthoorn added 12
points.
The victory upped the . conference
leading Wolverines to 3-0 in the Big Ten
and 8-3 overasll. Iowa is 1-2 in the con-
ference and 8-4 for the season.
Michigan recorded its eighth straight
victory against the Hawkeyes and gave
Orr a perfect 7-0 mark against Olson.
"I think we played very well," said
Orr in analyzing his team's performan-
ce. "I didn't think we were too active in
this first half, but we got better and
more active in the second half."

ATLANTA - More than four years
after it originally was proposed, the
so-called super college football con-
ference finally became a reality
yesterday.
However, it turned out not to be
quite as exclusive as first thought,
with 25 schools added to the original
79 thanks to an amendment spon-
sored by the eight Ivy League schools
along with Colgate and William &
Mary.
BUT THAT total- of 104 National
Collegiate Athletic Association insti-
tutions could be drastically trimmed
as early as today and one NCAA
official predicted it would happen.
In a complex opening business
session of the NCAA's 72nd annual
convention, the delegates first turned
down a controversial proposal to split
the current 144 major schools in
Division I into Divisions I-A and
I-AA.
But the delegates also approved
the Ivy League plan under which a
program of 12 varsity sports quali-
fies a school for major division status
instead of a 30,000-seat stadium and
an average home attendance
17,000 in one of the last four years.
of
WHILE THE so-called super pow-
ers - the Big Eight, Big Ten,
Pacific-10, Southeastern, Southwest,
Atlantic Coast and Western Athletic
Conferences, plus the major inde-
pendents -- now have the ability to-
vote their. own destiny, some" two
dozen schools they hadn't counted on
have come along for the ride.
They envision the big-time powers
doing away with current scholarship
limitations as well as coaching staff
limits.
However, no matter how many
schools wind up in Division I-A, legis-
lation concerning that division can be
enacted until next year's NCAA con-
vention. The limit of 30 football
scholarships a year and 95 at any one
time are safe for at least one more
year.
