VICTORY CLINCHES WCHA TITLE
Ru drers
By SCOTT LEWIS
Special To The Daily
LEXINGTON - There were no wild cele-
brations in store for Michigan after last
night's victory. Johnny Orr didn't even do
a bugaloo at midcourt.
In spite of winning the game that had
raised Michigan basketball fever to previous-
ly unattained heights, the Wolverines treated
this one just like any normal victory in the
Mideast semi-finals.
After all the pre-game hoopla, which con-
tinued to build up right to the opening tip,
both teams settled down to pla basketball
with no extra trimmings on the side.
"I THINK both teams played their games,"
said a much-relieved Orr afterwards. "All
the papers built this up, and we expected it,
but we didn't pay any attention to that. I
knew Detroit was good, and they played real
well thee."
On the other hand, the Titans had prepared
for this game as the most important of their
careers. All week long Detroit coach Dick Vi-
tale used the school's proximity to psyche
his team for the game more than ever before.
But playing a toprnament game provided
incentive enough for the Wolverines,
"We prepared for this without building on
anything special," said Michigan assistant
coach Bill Frieder. "We prepared for this
game as we have for any other ganie. We
were high for the game because it was a re-
gional semi-final game."
EVEN TOM STATON, a one-time Vitale
recruit from the Detroit area, didn't think
the local rivalry helped or hurt his play or
that of the rest of the teams'.
"The better team won because we were' a
better team. Maybe the victory was a little
bit more enjoyable because we're from the
same area, but I feel real good because
they're going home, while we stay,t' said Sta-
ton, the closest thing Michigan has to a Dick
Vitale. "But itwasn't even as emotional a
game as an Indiana or Minnesota contest.
"Once we got on the court we played a
normal basketball game," he added. "There
was no talking like 'in your face' or anything
like that."
THE GAME was tight most of the way. De-
troit. never let Michigan's lead become insur-
mountable, but it never came up with enough
firepower to overcome those small but se-
cure enough leads.
And John Robinson, not Rickey Green or
Phil Hubbard, led Michigan in scoring. The
Wolverines' ability to penetrate Detroit's
known defense accounts for this.
"They were watching me a lot in the zone;"
said Green who took but thirteen shots in the
game. "Vitale kept saying 'stay with Rickey,'
so I just passed it off and hit the open man."
The recipient 'was Robinson who was contin-
ual y found open under the basket.
Detroit's zone also helped contribute to
Phil Hubbard's career-high 26 rebounds.
When the defense moved outside the lane to
cover the ball, Hubbard was left alone inside
to grab many offensive rebounds.
With the much-heralded game out of the
way, Michigan must turn its mind to the
darlings of the regional, North Carolina-Char-
lotte. The crowd will back the 49ers in lieu of
Kentucky's absence tomorrow.
Once again, the opposition will have every-
thing to gain and nothing to lose entering the
game.

"WE WERE playing good de-
fensively. I think our concen-
tration was good this series de-
fensively," Wisconsin hockey
coach Bob Johnson said. "With
that small arena the puck was
moving like a pinball."
SThe Wolverines came out
strong against the nation's num-
ber one ranked team, scoring
the game's first two goals. But
before the first period was over
Wisconsin tied the game up
maintaining its four goal edge
from its Wednesday 4-0 "victory.
"The pace of the game was
s extremely fast even though both
teams were tired from last
night," Johnson said.
Dave Debol put Michigan on
the scoreboard for the first
time in the series at 5:06 in
the first period. He earned the
re eze
power play goal all the way.
AFTER SOME battles for the
puck in the zone, Debol took
the puck away from a Wiscon-
sin icer along the board. Fi-
nally, he sent it past Wiscon-
sin goalie Julian Baretta's right
side.
Dean Turner made the score
2-0 at 7:29 as he took a pass
from Bill Thayer. Turner moved
into the zone untouched and
fired a shot past Baretta's left
side.
Dreams of a Michigan miracle
were shattered, however, along
with the Wolverines' momentum,
when Craig Norwich tallied a
power play goal at 9:44. His
shot .was the first one of, the
power play which lasted only 7
seconds. The puck hit Michigan

By The Associated Press
SAN JUAN, P.R. - Jimmy
Young, clever and cool, knocked
George Foreman down in the
12th round and scored a unani-
mous decision Thursday night in
a major boxing upset.
The stunning loss knocked
Foreman out of the top con-
tender's role for the heavy-
weighthtitle and severely dam-
aged 'his hopes for a rematch
with champion Muhammad Ali.
Young brought a sellout
crowd of 10,000 roaring fans in
the Roberto Clemente Coli-
seum to their feet in the 12th
and final round.
With Foreman pressing him
into a corner, Young unleashed
a series of six solid head shots
that sent the formers champion
reeling backwards, obviously
hurt.
Young turned tiger, leaping to
the pursuit and landing a left
and right that put Foreman
down. Big George was up imme-
diately, but referee Waldemar-
Schmidt ruled it a knockdown
and gave Foreman a mandatory
eight count.
Foreman lasted the round, but
the crowd sensed the outcome
as it cheered "Jimmy Young,
Jimmy Young."
Schmidt scored it 118-111 for
Young under the 10,point must
system. Judge Cesar Ramos saw
it 116-112 for Young and Judge
Ishmael Fernandez called it
115-114 Young.
