One on five ...
.. a futile strategy
By TOM CAMERON
EAST LANSING
MICHIGAN'S.81-64 drubbing of Michigan State yesterday proved
that it takes more than one player to play basketball.
Yesterday, Terry Furlow scored 38 points, more than all other
Spartans combined. His teammates contributed only 26 points
as Furlow took almost three times as many shots as anyone
else wearing green.
The Spartans' style of play looked like alley basketball-
give it to the best guy and hope that he scores.
This is obviously not the way any major college team
likes to play. How can any team expect to win playing, in
effect with only one player against five?
One player like Furlow, no matter how good he is, does not
a team make.
Other coaches can spot a one-man team and defend against
it without much trouble. "After the first ten to twelve minutes
we had control of the game," said Michigan coach Johnny Orr.
"Furlow-we expected-would score but we were able to cut
off the rest of State's team. He is as tough an offensive player
as we have seen, but he has to score 50 points for State to defeat
a really good team."
Balance proves best
But against a really good team, it is almost impossible to
score fifty. It's difficult against an average team.
Assistant coach Bill Frieder talked about the disadvan-
tages of a one-man offense after the last Michigan-Michigan
State game at Crisler. "I had talked to Terry before the
game," he said, "and he said he would break the Crisler
scoring record. I told him that I hoped he did, because then
we would win the game."
Michigan State's one man team looked pretty poor in con-
trast to the team concept the Wolverines were employing.
The strength of Michigan's team is in its teamwork. With
the possible exception of Rickey Green, Michigan has no super-
star or super-gunner. Yet, Michigan can still play even with any
team in the nation, as it proved last weekend when the Wolverines
shocked tfle nation with a near-upset of number-one ranked
Indiana.

captain and defensive specialist
Wayman Britt then committed;
his fourth foul.
AT THIS POINT Terry Fur-
low already had 23 points de-
spite Britt's shadow act. If he
could have exploded in Britt's
absence that nine point lead
could have evaporated in a
hurry. Lacking a defensive re-
placement of Britt's caliber, the
Blue went into their zone.
Furlow quickly hit a couple
of 25 footers, but then the zone
paid off, as State went over
three minutes without scoring a
point.
Meanwhile, t h e movement
necessary for the pressing zone
carried over to thedoffense, and
the game's pace and Michigan's
scoring picked up simultane-
ously.
From 12:25 to 6:25 the Wol-
verines outscored State 14-5, the
last seven in a row and all of
those coming as a result of the

increased tempo.
HARDY HIT on a 10-footer
from the baseline (before MSU's
defense was well set up), Hub-
bard stole the ball and drove in
all alone, and then Green ran
past everyone but the MSU
cheerleaders on a fast break
three point play.
Following the spurt, Michigan
had a 68-52 lead, and the only
question left was what the final
margin would be-the Blue were
virtually running at will.
"They were up at the start of
the game, got behind and kind
of quit out there," said Baxter,
who played a strong game re-
placing the foul-plagued Steve
Grote. "We weren't getting de-
fensive boards or the outlet pass
in the first half, but once-we
got them moving they couldn't
keep up with us."
THE GAME was an encour-
aging sign for the Wolverines,
who have blown out two oppo-
nents on their own floors since
the disheartening Indiana loss.
"Anytime we can come up to
East Lansing and win we're
very happy," said Orr. "We're
getting very strong ,now and I
hope we can play that way for
the rest of the season."

Women cagers top
Chippewas, 69-59
By MB DILLON
Special To The Daily
MT. PLEASANT-The, women's basketball team bet-
tered its record to 8-4 in Mount Pleasant Saturday, clinching
a 69-59 victory over Central Michigan.
Michigan began to gain momentum with everything
even at 53-53 and 6:30 remaining. Taking advantage of
Central's poor passing, the Blue ignited a 16 point shooting
streak and contained the Chippewa offense to two lonely
points in the last four minutes.
"Overall it was a good game," said a pleased coach
Carmel Borders. "Our shooting percentage was good, and
we really hustled. I thought our offense adjusted well to
their defense.
On top at halftime 35-33, CMU owned the lead for only
eight minutes in the game, four minutes on either side of
the half.
Michigan's fifty per cent shooting highlighted the first
half, while the second was marred by Central's 25 turn-
overs, which proved fatal. Central Michigan coach Marcie
Weston told her team, now 6-7, "Turnovers, gang. That's
what killed us." And indeed they did. The Chippewas
gave up the ball no less than 43 times, assisting four
Wolverines to score in double figures.
High scorer Melinda Fertig tossed in 17, Lydia- Sims
and Carol Klomperan tallied 16 a piece, whit; Terry Conlin
scored 14 to bolster the Blue's 41 per cent shooting per-
formance.
Freshman Kathryn Young and sophomore Conlin con-
tributed ten and nine rebounds respectively for the Blue,
but Central outrebounded Michigan 53-32.
Michigan's next rivalry comes Wednesday February 18
against Wayne State, whose entire varsity is on scholarship.
"It will be one of the biggest games of the year, but we're
ready," said Borders. "We're up for it."

For the first time in Crisler
Arena's history, the Michigan
men's gymnastics team lost a
home dual meet. The nation's
top ranked squad, the Indiana
State Sycamores, led by Olym-
pic candidate Kurt Thomas,
bested the Wolverines by a
score of 214.90 to 213.50 before
roughly 1500 spectators yester-
day.
Thomas dazzled the crowd
with his consistently high scor-
ing performance. The nation's
top all-arounder easily copped
all-around honors with a total
of 55.05 points to teammate's

Griffith's 52.65. Michigan's Har-
ley Danner was third with 52.05.
Michigan started out strong,
edging Indiana State in the
floor exercise and on the
rings, while losing by just
0.05 points in the pommel
horse event.
A smooth and artistic per-
formance by Randy Sakamoto
led Michigan to a very slight
lead over Indiana State as the
junior specialist earned a 9.15
individual score. "I felt really
good," Sakamoto said after the
meet. "It's probably the best
I've ever done."

it was Indiana State's turn to
just barely edge Michigan as
the Sycamores hit for a team
score of 35.40 to Michigan's
3535. Consistent performances
by Doug Griffith, Thomas, John
Golbeck and Joe Childs pro-
vided the necessary points.
But Michigan co - captain
Poynton stole the show with
a st u n n i n g performance.
Poynton gracefully swung and
scissored his way back and
forth over the pommel horse
and upon completion, brought
the crowd and the entire
Michigan bench to its feet in
appreciation. Poynton scored
a meet-high 9.4 on probably
the most difficult of all events.
At this /point, both teams
held identical 71.35 scores. But
in the ring event, the tide turn-
ed toward the Maize and Blue.
The usual solid routine by Joe
Neuenswander plus strong show-
ings by Pierre Leclerc and Scott
Ponto gave the Wolverines the
edge, 36.00 to 35.95 for Indiana
State.
"The tide turned after vault-
ing," Michigan coach Newt Lo-
ken said, when Michigan fell
behind 142.90 to 143.30.
