Strong subs help
wolverines
stifle
By RICH LERNER
The Michigan Wolverines
strengthened their hold on sec-
ond place in the Big Ten yes-
terday, beating Iowa 104-95 in
a shoot-out at Crisler Arena.
The win pushed the Wolver-
ines' record to 13-4 overall and
7-2 in the conference, while Iowa
fell to 13-5 overall and 4-4 in
league p 1 a y. Michigan now
stands two games behind In-
diana and holds a two-game
edge over third place Michigan
State.
SIX PLAYERS scored in dou-
ble figures for Michigan with
Rickey Green leading the way
stubborn
Iowa,
with 23 points, 15 in the second
half. But it was the Wolverine
bench that meant the difference
in the game.
Six minutes into the game,
captain Wayman Britt joined
starting center Phil Hubbard on
the bench, both having three
fouls. With Iowa holding a five-
point lead Tom Bergen and Alan
Hardy, spectacular in their re-
serve roles, led the Maize and
Blue to a 55-52 halftime lead.
Bergen tallied 14 of his 16
points in the first .half while
grabbing five rebounds. The 6-9
sophomore didn't miss until the
second half. Freshman Hardy

was a whirlwind in the first
half, scoring 11 of his 13 points.
THE 6-6 forward was all over
the court-blocking two shots,
dishing out three assists, hitting
from the outside as well as un-
derneath and teaming with Ber-
gen, Tom Staton and Joel
Thompson to keep the bigger
H a w k e y e s away from the
boards.
The Michigan reserves ignited
the Wolverine fast break, which
had all cylinders going for the
first time since the Minnesota
game.
"We've been really cautious
for some reason," .said Johnny
Orr. "But our subs came in
there and threw caution right
out the window."
The starting five, back in
to start the second half, con-
tinued the pace the reserves had
set. Only the relentless hot-
shooting of Iowa's double-bar-
relled attack, Bruce "S k y"
King and Scott Thompson, kept
the Hawkeyes in the game.
Michigan broke to an 82-65 lead,
but King and Thompson brought
Iowa to within eight, 99-91, be-
fore the Wolverines successfully
stalled away the final two
minutes.
King amassed 36 points, dis-
playing a dazzling array of turn-
around jumpers. Thompson add-
ed 30, hitting on 14 of 23 from
the floor, mostly from 20 feet
out or further. Cal Wulfsberg,
showed why he leads the Big1
Ten in assists.I
SEVERAL TIMES the senior1
guard - turned down open shots
from close range, and instead
passed to Thompson who coolly
swished a 25-footer. Wulfsberg
totalled 13 assists, not putting
up a single shot.
After intermission the Wolver-
ines avoided the foul trouble
that plagued them in the first
half. Iowa shot only three free
throws in the second half, scor-
ing one more field goal than
Michigan for the game.
Early in the game, the bulkier
Hawkeyes (Iowa averages over
220 pounds a man across the
front line) controlled both the
boards and the tempo. On one
occasion, Iowa had seven shots
at the basket before King tipped
the ball in.
BUT ONCE the Wolverines
quickened the pace, the brawny
Hawkeyes lagged behind.
"We wanted to run them,"
said Orr. "And I think we wore
them down."
04 -95
"Half of the tired situation is
mental," said Iowa coach Lute
Olson, "if you're not strong
enough mentally, you'll get
tired."
The Wolverines added to their
lead in the second half on the
strength of a stellar perform-
ance by Green. The transfer
from Vincennes JC, who played
the entire 40 minutes, blazed by
the Hawkeyes for 23 points in
addition to his six assists. Sev-
eral Michigan fast break bas-
kets resulted from Green.
"The thing that makes them
so tough is Rickey Green," said
Olson. "You get too close to
him and he'll go right by you;
you give him room and it gives
him that many more tools in
his arsenal."
John Robinson led the Mich-
igan rebounding effort with
eight caroms and scored 14
points. Britt chucked in 12 A
Hubbard 13.

YESTERDAY'S 104-95 win over Iowa gave some Michigan
substitutes a chance to prove what they have wanted to prove
for so long-the bench can do the job in the clutch. The season
has been frustrating for some of them, and when given the!
chance they came through in flying colors.'
The reserves regularly give the starting five all they can j
handle in practice, but their hard work had not, for the most I
part, paid off in playing time until yesterday. Foul trouble in
the first half forced Johnny Orr to go to his bench much earlier
than he otherwise would have. Starting center Phil Hubbard
picked up his third personal foul with just over three minutes
elapsed in the contest, and Wayman Britt met a similar fate
moments later.
Tom Bergen, the 6-9 transfer from Utah,, came in for
Hubbard, while Alan Hardy checked in for Britt. Reserves
Joel Thompson and Tom Staton also saw playing time, as
did David Baxter, who Orr insists is a third guard, not a sub-
stitute. The bench outscored the starters 33-22 in the first half.
Bergen turned in a strong performance and picked up the
slack where Hubbard could not. The lanky sophomore finished
second in team scoring with 16 points to Rickey Green's 23.
Bergen's repertoire included a variety of jump shots, layups
and his own version of the sky hook.
Another substitute, 6-6 freshman Hardy, turned in a sterling
performance at both ends of the court,, racking up two blocked
shots, three assists, four rebounds and 13 points, 11 before
intermission. Hardy more than held his own on defense, and
gave Michigan the offensive pui.ch it needed late in the half.
"Hardy's a very good shooter," commented Iowa coach
Lute Olson. "He's capable of hurting you, especially when he
gets a hot hand."
Thompson was three for three from the field before a
minor back injury sidelined him. Staton was held scoreless,
but the 6-3 freshman crashed the boards and demonstrated his
exceptional leaping ability to the point of being called for
dunking.
"That was the first time we have had to go to our bench,"
said Orr after the game. "We were elated the way those sub-
stitutes came in there. We kept telling them, 'Someday, your
day's going to come, so be ready,' and they certainly were."
Some of the players were beginning to wonder if that day
would ever come-this season, at any rate. The transition from
high school to college ball is often difficult for any player, and
for players who were All-State in high school, like Hardy and
Staton, it is even harder to sit on the bench.
Michigan does not "risk" as much as some other teams in
the league by going to its bench. Purdue coach Fred Schaus,
after seeing his team fall to the Wolverines 84-80 last week, said
if Michigan has a problem, it might be one of too much talent.
Michigan compared very -favorably to Iowa in terms of
depth as well. Three Hawkeyes, Dan Frost, Bruce King and
Scott Thompson, accounted for 82 of the team's 95 points.
"In watching our ball club," said Olson, "you can see that
we're not a balanced team like Michigan. We only have three
guys we can go to."
In fact, few teams the Wolverines have run up against, with
the possible exception of Las Vegas, have been able to match
Michigan's depth. All of which should make for a coach's dream
and simultaneously, an exasperating situation for the players
on the bench.
The problem is further compounded by the fact that several
starters have not been playing up to par in recent games.
"The subs did the job that had to be done," said Michigan
assistant Bill Frieder. "That kept us in the game when we
needed it."
Maybe as a result of yesterday's showing, the Michigan
coaches will be less reluctant to turn to the bench.

to yet another Big Ten contender last night, dropping a 22-
13 dual meet decision to the ninth-ranked Minnesota grap-
plers.
Michigan 15-4 overall and 6-2 in conference action, came
back to defeat Mankato State, 25-15, and Air Force, 30-9, in
the remainder of the triple dual meet.
The Wolverines stood tied with Minnesota after
eight bouts, 13-13, when outstanding Gopher 190-
pounder Evan Johnson pinned Harold King and Steve
Schuster followed with a loss to seal the defeat.
Michigan retaliated with a few of its own pins in the
later meets, with freshmen Mark Churella and Amos Good-
low leading the way with two and one, respectively.
Though Michigan lost the big one, it may have found a
142-pounder in senior Rich Valley, who won all three of
his matches.

Lamoreaux scored two goals
and added one assist to lead
North Dakota to aresounding
6-2 victory over Michigan last
night.
Early in the third period the
Fighting Sioux held a 4-2 lead.
However, many can recall that
a similar situation existed when'
the two teams last met on aE
Saturday night three months
ago. In that game Michigan
rallied for a 5-4 overtime vic-
tory.I
THE S P E E D Y Lamoreaux
scored two quick goals though
to assure that history would not
repeat itself. Four penalties
assessed against Michigan in
the final stanza dampered any
hopes of a comeback.
Even without the penalties,
the Wolverines could not have
met the match of the Fighting
Sioux, who p 1 a y e d inspired
hockey from the opening face-
off.
Michigan actually managed
the first tally of the night as
Doug Lindskog knocked in a re-
bound of a Greg Fox slap shot.
Lindskog led the Wolverines in
scoring in the two game series,
collecting three points on two
goals and one assist.
The 1-0 Wolverine lead was to.
be their only one of the night.
North Dakota wing Joe Delure
tallied on a power play at 9:37'
to equalize the score.
TEAMMATE B i I 1 Himmel-.
right gave North Dakota a 2-1
lead four minutes into the sec-

goalie Robbie Moore on a wristI
shot from the left side of the
circle.
There were only three men
skating for each team when the
goal was scored, as the referees
had called two sets of simul-
taneous penalties in the first
3:27 of the period.
Michigan tied the game only
19 seconds lateras freshman
defenseman John W a y m a n n

Fighting Sioux on top to stay
when he fielded a high pass

a backhand less than a minute
into the final stanza for the

Freshman Steve Elliott and
sophomore Mike McGuire each
set varsity records in leading
the Michigan track team to a
romp victory in a triangular
meet with Bowling Green and
Notre Dame.
Michigan scored 99 points to
Bowling Green's 28. Notre Dame
had 11 points.
Elliott blazed to victory in
the mile in 4:06.9 for his rec-
ord. Teammate Jack Sinclair
s destroy opposition
was second in 4:07.8. McGuire
set his record in the two mile,
striding home in 8:47.4.
Michigan took every first
place but one, the triple jump
won by Maclin of Bowling Green
with a leap of 47-11. Abe Butler

BUT WOMEN WIN:
Hoosiers capsize
Special To The Daily.
BLOOMINGTON - A powerful Indiana
squad knocked off the Wolverine swim
team yesterday, 76-47 for the Hoosiers'
117th straight dual meet win. Thirteen au-
tomatic qualifying times for the NCAA
championships were set by the teams.
Senior Tom Szuba commented, "We
swam well, but they were a better team
than us. They rested during the week,"
he added, "so they were worried about
us."
WOLVERINE COACH Gus Stager was
pleased with the times by most of his
swimmers. Earlier in the week, he stated
the Wolverines' goal was to clock some
Halladay, following Downie's lead, all
qualified for the NCAA's.
Tom Szuba won the 200 backstroke and
finished second in the 400 individual med-
ley, clocking 1:53.5 and 4:03.27 respective-
ly. Both of these times made the NCAA
cut-off. In the 400 individual medley, In-
diana's Fred Tyler was first at 4:03.18 and
Wolverine Alan McClatchey was third at
4:05.17. These two swimmers also made
the NCAA's.
HOOSIER JIM Montgomery flew in the
100 freestyle with a :44.8, which is the
fastest time in the . country. He also
won the 50 free, going fast enough to
tankers
Women remain undefeated
The Wolverine women gained a mea-
sure of revenge for Michigan, however,
completing an undefeated dual meet sea-
son by whipping the Hoosiers 78-53 in
Matt Mann Pool.
Freshman sensation Katie McCully took
firsts in three freestyle events. After win-
ning the 200 by more than seven sec-
onds, she came back to set new varsity
records in both the 50 and 500 yard free-
styles.
TEAM CAPTAIN Kathy Knox topped the
field in the 100 free, missing her national
cutoff time by less than one tenth of a
second. Debbie Brevitz joined Knox in
60 and the 300. Hennigar ran the
60 in 6.3 and the 300 in 30.9.
Rob Lytle was a hair behind
Hennigar in the 60 and was also
clocked at 6.3.
Freshman Harlan Huckleby
won the 440 and also ran a leg
on the winning mile relay team.
He turned the quarter in 49.6.
In the field events Randy
Foss won the shot put with a
toss .of .52-4%, .Jim . Stokes
grabbed the victory in the pole
vault with a leap of 16 feet,
Doug Gibbs won the high jump
with a height of 6-8, and Mark
Bohlke won the long jump
with a leap of 22-10h.
Freshman Arnett Chisholm,
who has already qualified for
the NCAA championships, won
the 70 yard high hurdles in 8.6
seconds. Dave Williams and
Dave Furst went 1-2 in the 880
in an exciting finish. Williams
tooled the distance in 1:53.4
with Furst three tenths of a
second behind.
Andy Johnson and Greg Meyer
also went 1-2 in the 1000 yard
run. Michigan blazed to an easy
victory in the last event of the
dal, the mile relay. The team
of Jim Grace, Huckleby, Jeff
McLeod and Williams covered
the distance in 3:17.5.
