Special to the Daily
LEXINGTON - . . .Springtime for Vitale.
And Deeetroit ' , -
The war for state college basketball suprem-
acy happens tonight in huge Rupp Arena. Ann
Arborites can view the action on TV Channel 4,
starting at 8:00 pm.
The victor of this NCAA Mideast Regional
semi-final game advances to the region finals
Saturday, against the winner of Syracuse-North
Carolina-Charlotte. The gently rolling Kentucky
countryside is alive with color which also de-
scribes the verbal war Michigan coach Johnny
Orr and his Detroit counterpart Dick' Vitale
(Vitality?) are waging.
AT A PRESS CONFERENCE yesterday the
bubbling Vitale claimed he and Orr were not
involved in a feud. The four-year Titan coach
then proceeded .to rip some of Orr's previous
statements.
"Orr says I'm an opportunist," Vitale throb-
bed. '"In life people try to better themselves.
Why did lie (Orr) leave Massachusetts for
Michigan?"
He followed the left hook with a right jab.
"Johnny Orr said that after we beat them in
1973 that we had a full color brochure on the
game," Vitale gleamed, "but we never did
that . . . never."
MICHIGAN'S NINE-YEAR COACH retaliated
by stomping a previous Vitale uppercut with a
right cross of his own.
"Mr. Vitale has never personally written or
askedme to play him," the low-keyed - when
compared with Vitale - Orrsnapped.
The early part of the game is critical to both
sides. If the Titans open up a big lead, they can
slow the pace down and wait for shots.
"I would not hesitate to put the ball in the
freezer if we're ahead," said Vitale.
DETROIT'S OFFENSE indicates a four-corner
slowdown pattern, featuring guard Dennis Boyd.
The Titans ran it effectively when they knock-
ed off Marquette 64-63 in Milwaukee.
In Detroit's first round 93-76 NCAA victory
over Middle Tennessee State, Boyd had 14 points
and a whopping 15 assists. Michigan counters
with All-American Rickey Green, who had 35
points and nine ,assists last Sunday against Holy
Cross.
The 6-1 Boyd plays the point guard spot when
not running .the four corner offense. The Titan's
other four players all crash the offensive boards.
So if Michigan snares the defensive rebound
Tian-ic
and starts the fastbreak, Boyd is the lone Titan
laying back.
A KEY 'MATCHUP under those boards is in
the pivot, between Wolverine Phil Hubbard and
Detroit's Terry Tyler.
"Tyler's a great jumper, a power player,"
described Vitale. The 6-7 junior overages 17.4
points and 11.4 rebounds a game. He scored 29
against Middle Tennessee State.
The Titan's leading scorer is a junior, 6-5
John Long. At times a blistering shooter averag-
ing 20.1 points per game, Long will be guarded
by Tom Staton.
Michigan's John Robinson covers 6-9 forward
Ron Bostick, who grabs over five rebounds per
game. Rob will try to prevent Bostick from
posting down low.
Steve Grote, a native of Cincinnati only 80
miles away, is responsible for slowing 6-1 sharp-
shooter Terry Duerod (11.4 ppg).
WHEN MICHIGAN TAKES the offensive, the
Titans will most likely fall into a zone defense.
"We've got about 12 types of defenses to go to as
the situation dictates," said Vitale.
The Wolverines will probably see 1-3-1 and 2-3
zones.
"They don't play anything we haven't seen,"
blew Michigan's assistant coach Bill Freider.
strugge
"Both Purdue and Minnesota zoned us and weI
were successful."
Very early in the season, Minnesota - who
Michigan soundly defeated twice-shellacked
Detroit 104-80.
The Titan's then ran off 21 consecutive victor-
ies before dropping two of their last four regu-
lar season games.
THE TITAN'S ARE finally getting to play;
"the goliaths of Ann Arbor," as Vitale refers to
the Wolverines, and they'll be fired 'up higher
than Stroh's beer.
But the Wolverines promise to be ready. They.
know that the loser leaves Rupp Arena after the
game in his street shoes, not to return.

Dave Baxter, Michigan's fabled 'third guard'
was injured Wednesday when he stretched
tendons in his left ankle.I
Participating in a full-court drill during prat-
tice, Baxter 'became -injured when he fell at-
tempting to intercept an inbounds pass.
He was helped to the dressing room where the
injury was diagnosed and taped.
"He's skinny, he doesn't have much weight
. he'll recover quickly," commented Michi-
gan coach Johnny Orr. Despite the injury the
junior guard will be ready to play.

Blue on ice, 4-0
By RICK MADDOCK
Special to The Daily
MADISON - The first segment of the WCHA final saw
a predominantly defensively fought battle starring Wis-
consin's goalie Julian Baretta. The Badger netminder
blanked the Wolverines 4-0 in the first half of the total
goal series.
Baretta also h'ad the only shutout in the WCHA regular
season this year. He blanked Michigan State 8-0 at East
Lansing. Last night he turned back 31 Wolverine shots -
snapping their 12-game winning streak. This was the third
time Michigan has been shut out under coach Dan Farrell.
MICHIGAN lost 6-0 to Michigan Tech in the 1974-75
season and 2-0 to Notre Dame in the 1973-74 season.
The Wisconsin goalie nearly missed a chance at his
shutout, as Michigan's Dean Turner took a vicious slap-
shot that knocked Baretta off his feet. Play was stopped
with two seconds left in the second period. He was helped
off the ice as an official time out was called.
The rules allow a ten minute time out to attend to an
injured goalie. Third string Dave McNab began warming up.
Just as McNab was ready, Baretta came back out on
the ice shaking off his momentarv injury. But because
McNab had already warmed up he had to play the final
two seconds of the period.
WAAM (1600) will broadcast tonight's basketball
game and will join tonight's WCHA championship,
game In progress.
MICHIGAN goalie Rick Palmer also played well, stop-
ping 43 shots. Wisconsin pressured him continually and
took many inside shots that the Wolverine netminder re-
jected.
"They seem to get a lot of shots in the slot, and they
get a lot of rebounds." Palmer said.
WISCONSIN started off strong, tallying twice in the
first period. Dave Lundeen passed to Dave Herbst who
swept the puck past Palmer at 6:44. Then at 17:12, Steve
Alley took a slapshot from the left point as Mike Eaves
skated down the left side. Eaves tipped the shot past Pal-
mer to make the score 2-0.
"The two goals in the first period really sparked them,"
Turner said.
THE SCORE remained 2-0 until 7:23 of the third period
when Mark Johnson came flying in on a Les Grauer re-
bound sending the puck in as he collided with Palmer. Mike
Meeker added the final Wisconsin goal when he pushed
the puck past Palmer's right side at 16:06.
"Wisconsin was good. They were excellent as a mat-
ter of fact," Farrell said.
"Wisconsin moved the puck very well from their zone.
We had a tough time attacking their goal zone," Farrell
added.
THE GAME WAS marred by the poor conditions of
Hartmeyer. Ice Arena. The Badgers usually play in Dane
County Memorial Coliseum. but the building was leased
to a farm show. So, Hartmeyer was sold out with 2,481
fans while Dane holds 8 630.
"I don't think it's a building to play a WCHA cham-
pionship in," Farrell saidJ
He admitted, however, "the rink had no bearing on
the game."
HARTMEYER has many irregular. features. The neu-
tral zone measures about 35 feet.. inches larger than the
center face-off circle diameter. The neutral zone lacks at
least 1S feet from the size of regular zones,
