Michigan did not score the rest of the game. Hoosier Bob Wilkerson tried to put up a shot, but the ball slipped out of his hands, and Britt picked up the loose ball.

"We weren't recognizing what they were doing at first," said May. "It bothered us." Indiana shot 29.5 per cent in the first half. The Wolverines led by two, 20-18, with seven minutes left in the first half. Fifteen seconds later, Michigan was on top 25-18. Green scored a free throw, and back-to-back steals by Grote and Green on inbounds plays result- ed in uncontested layups. GREEN SCORED 15 of his 23 points in the first half, and Grote 10 of his 16. May and Benson scored 16 and nine re- spectively before intermission. Following halftime, Indiana slowly chipped away at the Michigan lead on the strength of Radford's shooting and excel- lent team defense. Radford scored 16 points all in the second half, continually dropping jumpers from outside the range of the Wolverine zone. The 6-3 sophomore guard hit six of seven attempts from the floor and four of four at the foul line. "I'VE NEVER had a player come into a game and do a bet- ter job than Radford did in this particular game," said Knight. "He hit free throws, buckets, rebounded, did everything we had to have." Indiana's pressure defense held Michigan to 21 points in the second half. Two consecutive 20 foot jumpers by Radford then cut Michigan's lead to 58-56 with 3:07 remaining in regulation play.

"ONCE WHEN I was a fresh- man, I had a chance to win a game with free throws, and I blew that too," said Grote. "It was against Western Michigan, but we won in triple-overtime." The win stretches Indiana's Big Ten lead to two and a half games, and for all practical purposes clinches the conference title for the Hoosiers. Indiana is 10-0 in league play while the loss drops second-place Mich- igan to 8-3. Neither team shot well for game, Michigan hitting at a 42.9 per cent clip and Indiana 37 per cent.

Adding the bronze medal in the women's 1,000 meter speed-skating race to her gold at 500 meters and the silver at 1,500 meters, Young reached a pinnacle never attained by an American in the 52-year history of the games. Russia's Tatiana Averina, holder of 12 world speed- skating records, won the women's 1,000 meter race ahead of America's Leah Poulos and Young. The silver medal was Poulos' first of the Games and gave the Americans a total of five. In another event Saturday, Helena Takalo of Finland won the women's five-kilometer cross-country ski race-- the first gold medal of the Games for her country. In the cross country, luge, the ski jump and bobsledding, the Americans fared poorly, finishing no higher than 14th in any event. The East Germans, won gold medals in the 70 meter ski jump, the two-man bobsled and men's and women's luge competition. After Saturday's competition East Germany and Rus- sia had won nine of 12 gold medals, and 20 of the 36 med- als awarded. In last night's final event, the heavily-favored Russian duet of Irina Rodnina and Alexander Zaitsev won the gold medal in Paris' figure skating. Two East German couples were second and third. But the surprise was the fifth place finish earned by the young American team of Tai Babilonia, 15, of Mission Hills, Calif., and Randy Gardner, 17, of Los Angeles.

AFTERWARD, a d e j e c t e d Michigan Coach Bill Johannesen admitted, "Both teams wrestled badly, and if we can't beat MSU we're going to get our heads Friday against Wisconsin)." "I'm just disgusted with the' way we wrestled," Johannesen concluded. Spartan Coach Grady Pennin- ger was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. "I consider this a definite up- set," he said. "We had no busi- ness beating Michigan." That big upset .. . ... eludes Blue again By ANDY GLAZER BLOOMINGTON WITH FORTY seconds left in yesterday's Michigan Indiana game, the Wolverines had the ball and a four point lead. The end of Indiana's record Big Ten winning streak was immi- nent with a national television audience looking in. And then the roof fell in. With. 33 seconds to go, Phil Hubbard was called for travel- ing. That does not necessarily mean that he traveled. That just means he was called for traveling. It is doubtful that Hubbard had possession of the ball at the time of the call. With 22 sec- onds to go, the Hoosiers' Quinn Buckner hit on a jumper. One might normally expect this from the highly publicized Buckner, but he was zero for eight at the time. With 14 seconds left, Steve Grote, who was in the pro- cess of playing his finest game of the year, went to the free throw line for a one and one that would wrap things up. He missed. In the game's final five seconds, the Hoosiers took three shots. The first two, by Buckner and Jim Crews, missed. The last one was a tipin by Kent Benson. It came in the general vicinity of the final buzzer. "It was the same play as in Illinois," said Michigan coach Johnny Orr. "There, Johnny Robinson put one up at the buzzer. But that one didn't count and this one did. "You can't say anything about it," continued Orr, "It's a judgement call. It's just a shame that a game like this had to come down to something like that." In other words, if any of the four key plays - the travel- ing violation, the Buckner jumper, the missed free throw and the tipin - had gone the other way, this would be a column about the upset of the year. Instead it is merely a story about what might have been. The game had repercussions other than in the won-loss col- umn. Thanks to NBC's presence, the factor of national televi- sion coverage was introduced. "I think it was wonderful that the Big Ten got a big game on national TV," said Orr, "I'm tired of seeing North Carolina playing Maryland all the time. It was nice to have Indiana- Michigan on." Indeed, it was nice for the various Indiana and Michigan fans around the nation. But the coverage put just that much more pressure on each ballplayer. And possibly because of that pressure some national repu- tations - on both teams - are going to change. Rickey Green, for one, just about completed a season- long rise to stardom. The junior guard was merely magnifi- cent as he scored 23 points, stole numerous passes, and used his speed to penetrate Indiana's vaunted defense. Green's partner at guard didn't fare too badly, either. It is a tribute to Steve Grote that his game was excellen, even con- sidering his missed free throw. Playing with a cold, Grote scored 16 points and took down several key rebounds. More important than the offensive statistics for either Michigan guard was the defense. Quinn Buckner (1-10 shooting) and Bob Wilkerson (1-8) were more or less humiliated. Offsetting the strong efforts by Green and Grote was a tremendous performance by Benson. The big redhead, whom t) after a mad scramble in front of the Michigan net. The only reason the goal was scored was because Moore was trying to freeze the puck in front and failed to do so.

The score was in Michigan's' favor early, 15-7, but MSU's Doug Siegert and Waad Nadhir claimed one-point riding time decisions over Brad Holman and Ed Neiswender, respectively. THEN, WITH the score 15-13 Michigan, Wolverine captain Mark Johnson defeated Jeff Hersha at 177 and the meet looked very much in Michigan's control. But Harold King, wrestling, with a six-stitch cut over his! eye, was thrashed by MST freshman Shawn Whitcomb, 14-1 1, to tie the match and hand it to the heavyweights to decide the eventual winner. Steve Schuster fought gamely, though outmatched, and it look- ed as if the Maize and Blue were headed for victory.
