No knockout punch . .
. but Wolverines impress
IT'S SAID that having a killer instinct is a valuable quality in
athletics. If your opponent is staggering, hit him hard and
get it over with.
In a way, that's what Michigan tried to do to Purdue yester-
day. It happened twice, and almost backfired both times.
In the first half, the Wolverines were playing as well as
they have all year, making steals, forcing Purdue outside for
bad shots and grabbing most of the rebounds. Ricky Greene
swished a jumper with 2:55 left in the half and Michigan was on
top, 41-28.
But then, apparently, the Wolverines got that "can't
miss" feeling and began throwing up poor percentage shots.
Their offensive patterns were discarded and just about
everybody tried to make that key bucket to break Purdue's
back.j

the game was halted for 10

the Minnesota zone. When the

Exhibiting strength and depth
in o p t i o n a 1 competition, the
men's gymnastics team regis-
tered'a season high 206.95 in de-
feating a talented Minnesota
squad yesterday afternoon at
Crisler Arena.
The Wolverines, thus emerged
as victors in the tough two-day
dual meet, after edging the
Gophers 207.5-105.2 Friday night.
"The guys really hustled
this weekend," stated an ob-
viously pleased Coach Newt
Loken. "If you meet the best
But it didn't go in. Purdue grabbed the ball, darted down
the court and scored to pull within four. Once again is was
anyone's game.
The urge to really nail Purdue can also be likened to a
boxer's strategy. He can flail away at a weakening opponent,
try for the knockout, and risk getting tired and leaving himself,
unprotected. Or he can pound methodically away and win less
dramatically on points.
In all fairness, Britt's unexpected jumper was a rare lapse
for Michigan in those last few minutes. Michigan practiced its
stalling offense all week in expectation of a close game, and
used it well yesterday. Green and Britt, especially, were usually
smooth operators in the pressure-packed late stages. Green
played yet another excellent game and was indispensable in
breaking Purdue's full-court press.
"Boy, that Green can exolode on you," Purdue coach
Fred Schaus said with envious awe, "He's got such great
acceleration. He blew by our guys so fast on the press that
he turned them around with the wind he made."
And Britt, the superb athlete whom nature made a guard
but necessity made a forward, lowered another high-scoring for-
you perform better."
Michigan, from the onset, an-I
ticipated a tight contest with
its foremost Big Ten rivals. The
Wolverines, who had tallied only
199 points last weekend against
Ohio State, produced scores of
over 206 both nights in order to
clip the Gophers 414.45-408.10.
"The score puts us in really'
good standing for the nationals,"
stated senior co-captain Pierre!
Leclerc. "Everybody did very
well."
The Michigan team bested the
Gophers in every event except
vaulting where the Minnesota
gymnasts nipped the Wolver-
ines by .75 of a point.
