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 TOP ILLINI, OSU Wrestlers win By BOB MILLER a superior decision or a fall s' 'The Michigan wrestling team every time he goes out there.A exerted some strength on the IHe's doing a heck of a job." mats at Crisler last night de- BOTH CHURELLA and John- s feating Illinois and Ohio State' son captured the admiration of in a double dual meet by scoresI the crowd, as each pinned one of 26-13 and 23-17, respectively. i opponent and routed their other v Michigan coach Bill Johanne- challenger.I sen was obviously pleased over, Another Michigan wrestler toR his team's performance.

After that, Manery took care of the Wolverine' scoring, put- ting the Blue ahead for good at 9:27 of the period with a jlapshot from the right wing. The junior from Leamington, Dntario added an insurance goals with only 16 seconds left in the second stanza when he tipped in a shot by DeBol past Tscherne in a wild goal-mouth scramble.

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.

Michigan's McGuire, who finished fifth in the NCAA Indoor Championships in the same event last year, overcame what seemed an insurmountable lead for Gordon Minty of Ypsi' United track club to win in the last 40 yards of the race. Later McGuire said, "I was worried at the last 220, but when we came around the last corner I could see he was weakening and I thought I could take him."

Despite that, the team of Arnolt Chisolm, Kevin Briggs, Donald Wheeler and Chuck Crouther took overall first plane with an impressive time of 29.3 seconds. Nine new fieldhouse, meet or Michiagn records were set, six by Wolverine individuals or re- lay teams. McGuire's time of 13:27.9 in the three-mile set a new fieldhouse, meet and var- sity record.
