MICHIGAN DID not play well against Illinois last night, but
could not escape without a loss this time. The Wolverines
played poorly against Ohio State in Ann Arbor two weeks ago,
but still came out ahead, 84-81. Michigan had a terrible first
half against Michigan State, but snapped out of its lethargy in
time to squeak out a 66-63 win.(
Last night Michigan was the more talented team in the con-I
test, but the Wolverines' play was uninspired.
"Playing is nothing; winning is hard. Sometimes you learn
something when you lose," said Michigan coach Johnny Orr.
"Illinois played with great intensity, and sometimes those things
just bounce your way."
Illinois coach Lou Henson said, "I think the win is a tribute
to the desire of our players."
A key factor in the contest was control of the tempo.
Michigan first pulled out ahead, 14-12, with 10:45 remaining
in the first half. From that point on, the Wolverines were
never behind until Rich Adams tipped in a missed free throw
to put Illinois ahead 70-68 with 3:20 left.
But the Wolverines largest lead at any time was only seven
points, and they never really had the contest under control.
Michigan could not use the fast break to advantage.
Illini set pace
"We didn't fast break at all except for one, maybe two
times," said Rickey Green, who fouled out for the first time this
season with 4:27 remaining on the clock.
"We really didn't establish a running game," said John
Robinson. "We never got the momentum going enough to blow
them out."
Instead it was the Illini who determined the pace. Coach
Lou Henson's squad employed a 2-3 zone throughout most
of the game, forcing Michigan to put the ball up from out-
side. And the Wolverines just could not connect, hitting only
39.7 per cent of their shots from the field, by far their lowest
average of the season.
"We didn't shoot that well," said Michigan captain Wayman
Britt. "The zone kept it close. We weren't hitting outside except
for Rickey. That's what kept them in the game."
Time ran out
Michigan almost pulled off the win in a wild scramble under
the basket as time ran out, but the officials ruled that Robinson's
last tip-in came after the buzzer had sounded.
Orr accepted the decision, although some Michigan players
expressed doubt. "That's the way it goes, I guess," said Orr.
"Another second and we would have won it. You can't change
that."
Another second on the clock would have made the difference.
But if Michigan had either been able to establish its running
game, or had shot well enough from the floor to make the Illini
zone ineffective, the contest would not have gone down to the
wire.
"It never should have been that close," said Britt. "We just
didn't play a good game."

By MARCIA KATZ
Two clutch free throws by
Jackie Boyden with 35 seconds
remaining, lifted Michigan past
Eastern Michigan 51-50, last
night at Crisler Arena. It was
the Blue's third straight one
point victory and second over
Eastern in the past three days.
Both teams got off to a :low

baskets in the first four and a
half minutes. On the long out-
; side shooting of Lydia Sims and
Carol Klomparen, Michigan rac-
ed out to their biggest lead of
the night, 18-13.
Cold shooting and numerous
turnovers by Michigan in the
last five minutes of the first
half combined with some hot
shooting by Eastern forward
JanetBallor enabled the Hur-
ons to take a 28-26 haitlime
lead.
baMichigan scored the first three
baskets of the second half and
appeared to be ready to take
command of the.game.
"I kept waiting for us to
break open the game, but it just
never happened," said coach
Carmel Borders.

Melinda Fertig with 10 points,
eight in the second half.
The win boosts Michigan's
record to 5-1, counting the
Wolverines' three wins in the
Can-Am tournament which
they won this past weekend.
Michigan edged Central Michi-
gan 55-54 in the finals.
Central led 26-19 at the half,
but Michigan battled back in the
second half to finally take the
lead for good in the final four
minutes. Michigan was outre-,
bounded 44-27, but once again
played strong defense to insure
the win. Sims pumped in 15:
points and Fertig and Terry Con-
lin each tallied 14 points. East-
en defeated Wayne State to
capture third place.

STOLTZ OPTIMISTIC:
State reacts to
By MB DILLON
Despite a three-year proba-'
tion, slapped on by the NCAA,
Michigan State football coach
Denny Stolz is not -ready to
throw in the towel. Stolz said
at a press conference yesterday
he would "dedicate my life tot
making the football program
successful over the next three
years."
Until 1979, MSU will be barred
from television and bowl appear-
ances and for the next two years
the number of scholarships will
be limited.,
THREE assistant coaches were
reprimandedforttheir roles in
recruiting athletes, iacluding
Jimmy Raye, a former Soartan
quarterback, now a receiver
coach. Raye will be reproached
by President Clifton Wharton
and a Michigan State investigat-
ing committee while the other
two coaches will be barred from
off-campus recruiting.
Raye said he thought the pen-
alty was much too harsh and
said, "It hurts most that the
name of Michigan State has to:
be tarnished and it will e be-1
cause of the severity of the
penalty. I just hope people don't:
overreact."
Sentiment on the East Lan-
.f
sing campus varied. A Bekley
freshman said concerning the
probation, "I couldn't care less."
But another freshman has deep
sentiments. "I think it will def-
initely influence my going to
school here next year. it'll take
away a lot of excitement from
football games because there
won't be any incenti-ve. What
fun is i? if there's no goal to
work for?"
STOLZ said yestecday thati
MSU never once knowingly vio-
lated any NCAA regulatiyns but
willingly admitted guilt. "I am
guilty administratively fo- any-
thing that goes on. I hiredthe
men who work for me," he. said.
Wharton said he dhought the
penalties were "unduly harsh
and in some cases factually in-
correct," but he also admitted
guilt. "There's more tnan enough

penalty
blame to go around starting with
myself and going right down,"
he said.
Stolz emphasized the fact that
the football program will con-
tinue to be successful. "We'll
have a fine football program
over the next three years. We'll
win over the next three years.j
My team is mentally tough," he
said.
S"':t fired
The Detroit Pistons fired;
coach Ray Scott, yesterday.
"We have terminated Ray
Scott's contract because of a
communications
breakdown," said general
manager Oscar Feldman.
Assistant Herb Brown will
assume the head coaching
duties for the remainder of
the season.
EMU stayed within 3 pointsI
the entire second half, but could
never take the lead. Michigan
could have iced the game in te
last minute but missed three
free throws to allow the Hurons
to stay within one point.
Borders said the team did not
hit the boards well, praised the
defense. "We hustled after every
loose ball and caused a number
of steals late in the game."
High scorers for Michigan
were Sims with 14 points and
