THE VOLS continued to keep a

one-and-one.
Following his, missed second
shot the Wolverines came down
court-and lost the ball. On the'
inbounds play Tennessee went
in to Grumfeld who was poked
in the eye by an unidentified el-
bow.
He dropped the ball, Hubbard
picked it up and fed it into
Wayman Britt for a lay up mak-
ing the score 81-77.
With only 26 seconds left, the
defensive pressure that had
keyed the Michigan comeback
paid one more divident-when
the Vols were unable to inbound
the ball in the allotted five
seconds.
Tigers trade
The Houston Astros and
Detroit Tigers completed a
seven - player trade yester-
day, with the Tigers receiv-
ing catcher Milt May and
left - handed pitchers Dave
Roberts and Jim Crawford.
In return, Houston ac-
quired outfielder Leon Rob-
erts, catcher Terry Hum-
phrey and pitchers Gene
Pentz and Mark Lemongello.
HUBBARD took advantage of
the break with a jumper from
the key. Tennessee tried to fast
break and Jackson succeeded in
drawing Britt's fifth personal
foul.
Jackson made the first and
missed the second, leading to
Robinson's fast break layup. But
the bad bounce on the free
throw finished the Wolverines.
The Vols had moved to a 45-35
halftime lead on the strength of
65 per cent shooting, and despite
excellent play by Michigan.
"They, had a hot start, which,
happens a lot at home," said
Steve Grote. "They just shot ex-
ceptionally, and there isnt a lot
you can do about that."
Bernard King, Tennessee's 6-7
All-American sophomore for-
ward led that early charge with
17 points-most of which came
before Hubbard started fronting
him and trying to deny him the
ball.
"Hubbard showed his poise out
there," said Michigan coach
John Orr. "We've got some
poised basketball players who
have been to the NCAA, but
Hubbard's showing hes as poised
as anyone we have."

EAST LANSING-A five goal
blitz in the third period vaulted
Michigan's hockey team to an
8-4 triumph over Michigan State
here last night.
Rob Palmer, Pat Hughes,
Dave Debol, Kris Manery and
Dan Hoene all scored for the
Wolverines in the final stanza.
The goals brought Michigan
back from three early deficits.
BEFORE THE third period
Angie Moretto had been Mich-
igan's total offense. He scored
the first three goals for the,
Wolverines to register his sec-I
ond hat trick of the season.
"Moretto was just super out
there tonight," said Michigan
coach Dan Farrell after the
game. "He played the type of
game he's so good at-hanging
around the slot and knocking In
rebounds."
Pat Hughes also played ex-
tremely well for the Wolverines.
His third period goal came after
he had already garnered three
assists.
"It was probably his (Hughes)
best game of the year," saidI
Farrell, "at least since the
Olympic game. But a lot of the
guys were playing-well tonight.
All four lines saw a lot of action
and our superior conditioning
really s h o w e d in the last
period"
For two periods last night it
appeared as if the Spartans
were going to live up to their
number one ranking.
LESS THAN three minutes in-
to the game the Spartans took
advantage of a Robbie Moore
mistake to get the game's first
goal. Moore skated out of his
net to retrieve a puck deep in
the corner. However, his at-
tempted pass behind the goal
'was intercepted by Tom Ross

The Michigan swim team
opened its season yesterday with
an easy 78-35 victory over East-
ern Michigan. After the first two
events, Michigan was out in
front by a 16-0 margin, and
there was no doubt as to who
would capture the meet.
A sweep of the 40 Medley
relay by the Maize and Blue
tankers in Warner Natatorium
started the afternoon off. The
first team composed of Robbie

The bruising 6-7 sophomore put on an awesome display, hit-

nessee's 82 to 81 victory.
However, the young Wolverines did not yield to the tremen-'
ous pressure before the vocal sellout crowd of 13,100.
"You have a tendency to try and catch up all at once when
ou're down," Orr said. "But you can't do that, you just have to

Trailing 55 to 39 with 16:49 remaining in the game, Michigan
ut the Tennessee lead to only two points with 9:40 left, 63 to 61.
Volunteer playmaker Johnny Darden was out of the game
for much of that stretch with a slightly sprained ankle, and
Ricky Green and Steve Grote's pressure defense forced
Darden's harried substitute Jerry Finestone, into losing the
ball several times, enabling the Maize and Blue to close the
gap.
With captain Wayman Britt, the only senior on the tenman

Michigan's fast break could not be untracked throughout
most of the game. However, a fast break is impossible if one

ontrol the boards when Tennessee was making nearly all their
