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."

NCAA nearing finish of realignment action- Hawks humbled MICHIGAN By The Associated Press 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. Dr. Paul C.
