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." before Robinson finally tipped the ball in a split second after the buzzer sounded.

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 start making a total of three SCORE J 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. a I 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. The cagers have a long lavoff and Borders said they will wrk on improving their offense.

NO yCOVER 310 MAYNARD 72 I NFC 23, AFC 20 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 HAIRSTYLING TO PLEASE FOR MEN & WOMEN DASCOLA Hair Stylists Arborland-971-9975 E. University-662-0354 E.

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."
