Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, January 22, ~I 977 BLUE MELTED IN OVERTIME, 4-3: Late By ERROL SHIFMAN Special to The Daily SOUTH BEND - Allen Kars- nia scored on a backhand at 7:20 ofrthe sudden-death over- time to give Notre Dame a 4-3 victory over the Michigan icers last night. It appeared that Michigan had the game won in regu- lation, but with 6 seconds re- maining in the game, Irish- Don Fairholm sent the game into overtime with a clutch goal. Michigan coach Dan Farrell was understandably disappoint- ed, but he was also pleased with his team's tough performance. "It wasa great hockey game, goals just six seconds too long," Far- rell said. "When a team ties it up like that after you tried so hard to win it, it's tough, it gave them a psychological lift. We played super, that's as'good a game as we've played this year,' Farrell said. Notre Dame was led by Don Fairholm, who had set up his team's first two goals. Team- mite Clark Hamilton used-his 6' 4", 220 frame to muscle Michigan players off the puck repeatedly. Michigan began the game fumbling around and was lucky to come out of the first period with a 1-1 tie. s ur The second period was much the same, and again Michigan held on with a -2 tie. John McCahill put Michigan into its first lead of the game three minutes into the third period. McCahill awakened a sluggish Michigan while the Wolverines were shorthanded. McCahill skated the length of the ice, penetrated Irish goalie Len Moher and fed a picture perfect pass to Dan Hoene who flipped the puck past Moher. Michigan played without for- ward Bill Thayer who was out with a strep throat. Coach Farrell felt that he was sore- ly missed and took away from the attack. Irishpast Notre Dame played virtually of its nine losses by one goal; perfect hockey the first two four of them were in overtime. periods but was continuously The win -gives Notre Dame a stopped by goalie Palmer. The tie with Michigan for second Michigan defense seemed to place in the WCHA going into have problems with the bigger tonight's finale. Irish forwards. The loss was the second icers igan and the Irish with a win over Minnesota-Duluth. As soon as the puck sailed be- hind Palmer, the crowd of just under 4,000 roared ecstatically and the Irish icers poured onto the ice to congratulate Karsni- ca. Even Moher could not con- tain his joy as he skated the length of the ice to join in the celebration. In other WCHA weekend ac- tion, Minnesota is at Michigan State, North Dakota at Duluth, Denver ?plays Michigan Tech, and Wisconsin visits Colorado College. In the third period, Michigan's defense tightened and Palmer was given some needed help, until the lapse late in the game. The overtime was target practice for the.Fighting Irish as they fired from all angles. Palmer made sliding saves and it appeared that Michi- gan would gain a tie. But Michigan had nothing left. Michigan has now lost eight straight overtime loss the Irish have handed the Wolverines and the third straight game this year that was decided between these two teams by one goal. Notre Dame has now won nine of its last 10 conference games to vault into the sec- ond place tie.

By PATRICK RODE and PETE LEININGER # The Michigan wrestling teamI got a taste of what it's like to wrestle the best team in the na- tion last night, and they came out on the short end as they were overwhelmed by awesome Iowa State, 32-4. MICHIGAN just couldn't get things on track as the Cyclones dominated from the start with ILLINI WORRY ORR: Green By HENRY ENGELHARDT Rickey Green, Michigan's leader in scoring, assists and steals, most likely will not see action in today's game against Illinois at Crisler Arena which starts at 2:05 p.m. "He won't play unless there is a drastic change in his condi- tion," Michigan assistant coach Bill Frieder said at the conclu- sion of yesterday's practice, in which Green took just a few shots. Green wrenched his back making a twisting layup with about seven ,minutes remain- ing in Thursday's Purdue game. "I felt a shot of pain when it happened," said Green. ."I knew what it was." It will be the first game Green can remember missing since anI ankle injury kept him out of 'three contests his senior year in high school. Dave Baxter, the Wolverine's third guard, starts in place of Green. "Dave's a good ball-; player," said Green. "I think the team will pull through." Kent State coach.Rex Hughes, whose team fell to Michigan, doubtful 102-66, described Baxter by say- ing he's "as good as the players they have starting." Illinois coach Lou Henson fears "Michigan will fight just a little bit harder" to make up the loss of Green. Henson's team, 9-7 overall, 1-4 confer- ence, dropped a 67-58 decision at Michiga State, last Thurs- day. Now acase of deja vu worries Michigan coach Johnny Orr. Last year he Wolverines tripped Purdue 84-80. That same night MSU knocked the Illini by, 11. Two days later Illinois spoiled Michigan's visit to Champaign by upsetting the Wolverines, 76- 75. However, last year the Blue trailed Indiana, this time around they hold down the top spot with a 5-0 Big Ten mark and 12-1, ledger overall. It makes a dif- ference. "Everybody realizes we're in first place," said junior jumper Joel Thompson, "and we want to stay there. The team will be ready," he prom- ised. The Fighting Illini, like so many other Big Ten teamns, fea- today ture a plethora of freshmen.' They start Chicago-area prep star Levi Cobb at one forward and either sophomore Ken Fer- dinand of frosh Neil Bresnahan at the other. Another freshman, Steve Lan- ter, keys the offensive from his guard position. Audie Matthews, a 6-5 ,junior nicknamed Audie- matic, leads the team in scor- ing (15.9 points per game) play- ing the other guard spot. Steve Grote tackles the Matthews as- signment. Pitted against Phil Hubbard this afternoon is 6-8 junior Rich Adams, averaging 11 points per game. Sophomore Larry Lubin and junior Tom Gerhardt support what Orr calls "a talented Illinois team." Either freshman Mark Lozier or Tom Staton will move into the third guard spot for the Wol- verines. Next Monday Michigan travels to Ohio State, followed closely by trips to Wisconsid and North- western on Thursday and Satur- day. Green's status for these games is uncertain. seven straight victories, t'wo of them major decisions. "Once they got the mnmen- tum, we couldn't do anything," said Michigan coach Bill Jo-- hannesen. "There was no spark, no punch. Now I know how Bo felt at Purdue." Cyclone Mike Land started the, fireworks at 126 pounds w-h a major decision over Amos Good- low. Goodlow suffered -under a flurry of takedowns and a three- point near fall as Land ,efeat- ed him, 17-8. Another Wolverine to fall by a major decision was 150-lb. stand- out Mark Churella. Joe Zus- pann, rated number one in the nation, downed Churella on thej strength of two take-downs and a three-point near fall, 10-2,1 while allowing only an escape. "THEY BEAT us everv time on top," commented Johanne- sen. "They played physical dom- ination. They got the first move. It's a lot easier to jump on the1 whistle than to fight from the bottom," he went on. The Wolverines' sole mach victory carne at 177 where team' captain Mark Johnson gained a majordecision over Dave Ailen, the only freshman on tne Iowa State squad, 10-2. f i Although he lost his match, Todd Schnieder's performance was termed "a heckuva )b ' by Johannesen. At 118, he had to face Johnny Jones, rated second in the na- tion. Schnieder had the lead throughout until the last period, when Jones came up with a three-point near fall to win 8-6. Another close match came at 167. With 13 seconds remaining Brad Holman executed an es- cape to tie the. match at one a- piece. Holman later lost the match on riding time because opponent Dave Powell's total time of control was more than a minute greater than Holman's. "WE COULD'VE l o o k e d sharper," Johannesen re- marked. "To defend Churella, he couldn't do anything after three guys went out and wrestled off their stomachs." 190-pound Cyclone Frank San- tana, also ranked number one in the country and last year's NCAA runner-up, turned in a 4-2 victory over Michigan's Har- old King in a closely fought match. At the heavy end of the Iowa State lineup, mammoth Bob Fouts, weighing in at 330 lbs., P2-4. pinned a helpless Mitch Marsi- cano with 2:08 remaining in the second period. At the middle weights, Rich Lubell suffered a 5-0 loss att 134 pounds to Casey Bartels; Bar- tels' points coming from stalling penalties. At 142, Cyclone Ran- dy Neilsen raised his personal record to 20-1-1, by downing Karl Briggs 9-3. Wolverine George Kelley's record fell to 1-2 this year at the hands of a tall Don Zimmerman, 7-2. Zimmerman's personal rec- ord now stands at 13-1. "I THINK WE were intimida#- ed," Johannesen said. He also noted, however, "they have po- tential All-Americans at every position." Iowa State coach Harold Nich- ols remarked, "We expected Michigan to win one or two more matches." Nichols has the somewhat pleasant problem of not remem- bering how many meets his team has won. "Our record is 10-0, 11-0 . . . something like that,' Nichols said. Michigan now has a 5-1 dual meet record and will meet the Hoosiers at Indiana tomorrow.

"We were out-rebounded and out-hustled," said coach Carmel Borders of the loss, which lowered the team's rec- ord to 3-4. "We lost the game on the boards." Also plagued with erratic shooting, the Wolverines con- nected on only 28 per cent of their field goal attempts. Forward Karen Gilhooley was the lone Blue cager to break into double figures, hitting for 10 points. Donna Travis paced the Huron scoring attack, netting 21. The tourney continues today, with the Wolverines facing Windsor at 9:45 this morning in the consolation bracket. Women tankers cruise The Michigan Women's swim team triumphed in 11 of 13 events as they bombed Wisconsin, 82-31, last night at Matt Mann Pool. Freshwomen Lori Hughes and Liz Lease, both double win- ners,, led the defending Big Ten champs to their fourth win in four meets this year and 11th straight dual meet victory, dating back to the middle of the 1974-75 season. "We went strong in the beginning to protect ourselves, then eased off. I'm very happy with the meet," exclaimed dh ob- viously pleased coach Stu Isaac. Hughes, the rising young star, remarked, "I was very happy with my swim in the 1000 yard freestyle and think overall the team did really well." Hughes broke her own record -in the 1000 free, winning with a time of 10:35.37, and also prevailed in the 200 yard butterfly. Lease, sprinted to victory in the 50 and 100 freestyles. The divers also performed suberbly. as five girls qualified for the AIAW Nationals, Junior Chris Seufert and-freshwoman Lori Wettlaufer placed one-two in the one meter diving, beating out the Badgers' Peggy Anderson, a national champ. Brenda Schenthal, Julie Jeffrey and Suzie Honnen all qualified off the three meter board for Michigan. Other winners in last night's win included Katy McCully (200 Free), Sue Andrews (400 individual medley), Chris Den herder (200 backstroke), Laura Adamson (200 breaststroke) and both relays. But the mermaids could not savor their most recent success for long. Today the team faces arch-rival Michigan State, a serious title contender, at East Lansing. Coach Isaac summed up the team's thoughts, "We tried to go easy against Wisconsin. The big meet is at MSU. That is going to be a tough one." i ..~-AN PIrKUN71T t Em mu m m ---- ®! - urn - - 15c 15c F F : mP OF F ----- --- --- ---- By-DAVE RENBARGER Michigan's track team opens its home season indoors today hosting the Michigan Relays in the Track-Tennis building. The Wolverine coaching staff, headed by Jack Harvey, hopes for a clean sweep of the relay events as well as some NCAA qualifying times. "WE SHOULD win all the re- lays - the shuttle-hurdle, sprint medley, distance medley, mile and two-mile," said Harvey. "We'll be stacking our best per- sonnel in those races, and some of our guys will be doubling." Providing most of the compe- tition will be the thinclads from Eastern Michigan and Michigan State. Heading the rest of the large field will be Kentucky, Western and Central Michigan along with most of the other Mid-American C o n f e r e n c e schools. "It'll be a good-sized meet," noted assistant coach Ron War- hurst. "There should be 400 to 500 athletes all together." Since no scores are kept in the early season meets, the Blue tracksters will concentrate on sharpening their skills under meet conditions in preparation for upcoming meets, according to Warhurst. IN ADDITION, the coaching staff welcomes any NCAA quali- fying times at this point, and expects the mile relay team to make that grade this weekend. "You like to qualify for the NCAA's as quick as you can." said sprinter's coach Greg Sy- phax. "Somebody might get hurt later on. You just can't tell what's going to happen." Syphax anticipates his mile relay quartet, made up of David Furst, James Grace, Doug Hen- nigar and Jeff McLeod, to quali- fy tomorrow. "I don't think that anyone is going to be able to touch those guys," yphax said. PHYSICALLY, the Wolverines will be without the services of Mark Foster and Peter Running, both hobbled with leg ailments. Another blow to the squad came this week as tailback Har- lan Huckleby announced that he has quit track'to concentrate on football. "That's definitely going to hurt us," said Harvey. "Huck- leby is a super athlete and a great runner, but I guess he lost his desire to run."

Detroit never trailed after the basket by Porter broke a 28- 28 tie with three minutes to go in the first period, spurting out to a 59-38 halftime margin. The Pistons went on to lead by as many as 23 points in the third period before the Rockets rallied on the scoring of Moses Malone and Mike Newlin to cut the gap to 83-77 with eight minutes remaining. From then on, it was all Detroit as M. L. Carr and Howard Porter combined for five and four baskets respectively, in the Pistons scoring explosion, outscoring Houston 26-9. Carr finished with 24 points while Bob Lanier chipped in with 20 for Detroit. Malone and former Michigan star Rudy Tomjano- vich each had 17 for the Rockets, who by' losing fell out of a virtual tie with idle Cleveland for the Central Division lead. The Pistons featured three other scorers in double figures as Chris Ford tallied 16, Kevin Porter 14, and Howard Porter 12. I{ For Affiliated Centers in Major U.
