CHALK UP one for team play, good sportsmanship, and the
All-American attitude - Michigan's good guy beat Michigan
State's hot dog.
Theretwas a superb duel between two outstanding basketball
players yesterday: fiery Terry Furlow, the nation's third leading
scorer, against the Wolverines' soft-spoken defensive wizard
Wayman Britt.
Britt beat Furlow . . . at both ends of the court.
Defensively, Michigan's captain held Furlow to 13 points,
over 23 points below his 36.6 Big Ten average.
Britt shackled the Spartan prima donna without a field
goal for sixteen long minutes of the first half. Forcing
Furlow to take bad shots, Britt kept his old high-school
teammate from moving to the basket. He stifled his usually
awesome scoring attack.
Furlow shot a miserable 26 per cent from the floor, mostly
due to Britt's swarming defense. "When shooter has a tight de-
fense on him," Michigan assistant coach Bill Frieder explained,
"it really makes him work for that open shot, and once he gets
it, he shoots too quickly and takes something off it. He ends up
missing shots he normally wouldn't."
But Michigan didn't win the game only because of Britt's
defensive play, but also because of his work on the offensive
end.
Britt breaks zone
In addition to his constant instructions while the team was
on offense, Wayman pumped in 18 points to lead the Wolver-
ines in scoring. His exceptional outside shooting helped break
a tough Spartan zone defense in the second half - something
that the Wolverines couldn't do in the first half.
But for Wayman, it wasn't necessarily one of his better
games, "I've played better," he said as he relaxed after the
game. "I played better against Indiana's Scott May."
Orr was more impressed with Britt's play. "Britt was bril-
liant. I've never had a player who has worked any harder than
he has the past three days. He's a great player but has never
got the individual recognition he deserves."
Britt is that type of ballplayer. He does his job well every
game. He defenses some of the best players in the nation, his
true value never showing in the statistics.
"I'd take a player like Britt over a scorer like Furlow any
day, said Frieder, who coached both players on Flint North-
ern 's state champion high school team. "Britt is a winner at all
times. He has character, dedication, and is sincere about bas-
ketball. He respects his teammgates and coaches.
'Furlow is great when you want someone to score 40
points in a game, but Britt is the one you want to win
games . . . He's a winner."
It's nice to see a ballplayer like Britt come out on top. It's
especially sweet that he beat someone like Terry Furlow.
Furlow has had personality problems in the past. In highI
school, Frieder barred him from the varsity in his junior year
because of his attitude. Last season, he was put on probation
by the Big Ten for striking Iyllinois' Rick Schmidt, and was
almost charged with assault for a fight with a graduated team-
mate, Peter Davis, during a pickup game last summer. Furlow
insists he's changed this year, but was back to his old antics
yesterday.

A crowd of 4420 devotees con-
verged upon Yost Temple last
night, hoping to witness the re-
vival of Michigan hockey. They
got what they wanted, and pro-
bably more than they expected,
as the Wolverines opened the
floodgates and poured in ten
goals to beat Notre Dame 10-3.j
It was difficult to believe that

the same two teams played on
Friday night, with Michigan
falling 4-3 in overtime.
"It's strange, but we real-
ly didn't play any better than
Fridy," noted coach Dan
Farrell after the game.
"When things are going yourI
way, they all seem to fall

key to the Wolverines' win.:
They produced 14 shots on goal,
hardly an imposing amount.
But exactly half of those at-,
tempts found their way into the
net behind Irish goalie John
Peterson.

hero in a 5-3 Notre Dame vic-
tory over the Wolverines in:

Furlow promises
Furlow had asked Frieder what the scoring record at Crisler
Arena was, and assured him that he would break the mark of
48 points held by Rudy Tomjanovich. During the game, when
Orr yelled to the referee for a traveling violation on Furlow, the
belligerent forward marched up to Orr and said, "That's my
cross-over move, coach." But his crude antic was his handshake
with Britt after Britt fouled out.
As Wayman described the incident, he was about to
walk off the floor when Furlow sarcastically held out his
hand. Britt ignored the gesture, but turned around when Fur-
low called to him. As Britt turned to shake his former team-
mate's hand, Furlow backed away saying, "'You get outta
here. Now we're going to win."' Finally he slapped at'
Britt's hand.
"I thought that it was really immature of him," Britt said.
"We're both grown men now. When you shake hands, you
should mean it.
"I tried to be a good sport the whole game," Britt continued.
"I wouldn't have done anything like that. It was very childish.
"You never know how people will react to you. I really have
to question our friendship now. It shouldn't be like that."
Yes, it's always nice to see the nice guy finish first.

The Wolverine tankers had no trouble with
Michigan State yesterday, both the men and the
women easily defeated their Spartan adversar-
ies. The men won 71-52, while the undefeated
women's swimming team posted a 78-53 deci-
sion, at Matt Mann pool.
Diver Don Craine, who was acting captain
for the Wolverines, showed why he is nationally
ranked. On the one meter board as his final
dive, Craine executed a difficult triple-twisting,
one-and-a-half somersault, with a degree of dif-
ficulty of 3i0, well enough to score two 7.5's out
of a possible ten. That dive was Craine's ride to
victory.
"THAT'S MY favorite dive," he commented,
"and I always save it for last. People who have
been competinlg around here,'know it's com-
ing."
Craine also breezed to first place on the
three-meter board. According to Craine, his
key to success is the number of difficult dives
he does compared to his opponents. When he
executes a dive with a difficulty factor of 3.0,
his onnonents generally do easier 2.8 dives.

He brought home first places in the 200-yard
individual medley and the 500-yard freestyle,
plus a second in the 1000-yard freestyle.
Tom Szuba finished first in both the 200-yard
freestyle and the 200-yard backstroke, - as he
continues to lead the Wolverines meet after
meet.
Joe Bauer, who according to Stager is almost
at the level of Szuba and the other consistent
point-getters, finished first in the 100-yard free-
style and second in the 200-yard freestyle.
Other Wolverines who swam well were John
Dally (still recuperating from an illness), Rob-
bie Helt, Brian Wyle, Fred Yawger, and Larry
Schroeder.
.EARLIER, THE Michigan women took first
place in 11 of 15 events, including the first six
of them, to beat the defending Big Ten cham-
pions. Those six winners all had times which
qualify them for the AIAW championships in
March.

and 500-yard freestyles. She lowered the stand-
