BY STAN BRADBURY Special to the Daily EVANSTON -The comeback kids have a different type of comeback to make today when they face the North- western Wildcats in McGaw Hall. It's not trying to make up a ten point deficit with eight minutes left. It's probably more difficult than that for a young ball club. The basketball Wolverines must come back after a rrriserable loss at the hands of the visiting Michigari State Spartans Thur- sday night.. COACH JOHNNY Orr said his team will be ready to face the 6-10 Wildcats. Northwestern is 1-6 in Big Ten action anld in their customary last place. Orr' said he believes that his team will be able to bounce back from the one-point overtime loss and regain the en- tiusiasm which carried Michigan past Ohio State a week ago. "This is a big game for us," said Orr. "If you look at the Big Ten standings, you'll see four teams tied at 3-4 (Michigan included) so this is very im- portant." Orr added that his club is not overlooking the Wildcats either. "They're a good team. They've come close to winning in the Big Ten and they beat Michigan State at home. Last night (Thursday) against Iowa was the first time they've been blown out of a game. "AND A T Northwestern we've always had problems with them," said Orr. Last year, Michigan won by two points on a last-second shot by Alan Hardy when the Wolverines traveled to Evanston. ' Northwestern is paced by the play of 6-7 sophomore forward Jim Stack, who missed almost all of last season with an injury. Stack is averaging a team high 15.2p.p.g. Stack is joined in the front line by a pair of trees; seniors Brian Jung (7-0, center) and Mike Campbell (6-10, for- ward). THIS MEANS that once .aain Paul Heuerman, standing only at 6-8 in the Wolverine center spot, will be battling a big height disadvantage.; The Northwestern backcourit consists of Rod Roberson (10.3 p.p.g) and Brian Gibson (7.9 p.p.g.). Orr said that the Wolverines have not had much time to prepare for the taller THE LINEUPS MICHIGAN NORTHWESTERN (40) (45) (15) (24) (34) Mike McGee ..... Thad Garner .... . Paul Heuerman ..

Our main concern is what we're doing. We have to take con- trol of the game," Orr said. Michigan has had a lot of success con- trolling the games against North- western in the recent past. The, Wolverines have won 18 of the last 19 confrontations. Michigan's only loss to the Wildcats in that time span was in 1977 when the number one-ranked Wolverines were upset 99-87 at McGaw Hall. Matmen annihilate Boilermakers 30-9 By BUDDY MOOR EHOUSE The young Michigan grapplers met a Purdue squad that was equally as young last night at Crisler Arena, and in the end the Wolverines proved to be dominant, winning 30-9. Head Wolverine coach Dale Bahr went into the meet with a line-up that featured four freshmen and three sophomores. Purdue countered with a squad that saw four frosh and two sophomores wrestling. In the first match at the 118-lb. level, two of the freshmen, Dale Nasen- berry of Purdue and the Wolverines' Tom Davids were pitted against each other. It the end it was Nasenberry who gave the Boilermakers an early lead by defeating Davids, 8-4. At 126. sophomore Larry Haughn of Michigan totally dominated Pur- due's Don Stuckly as he gained a major decision by winning 9-1. Purdue came back at the 134-lb. level as the Boilers' Jeff Tolbert edged out Bob Siar, 6-5, in one of the less exciting matches of the evening. That gave Purdue a 6-4 edge in the team totals, but from then on, Michigan took the lead and never relinquished it. At 142, freshmen Lou Milani, who is a walk-on, got the Wolverines on the winning track by defeating senior Hans Nelson of Purdue, 13-11. Milani, who was extremely popular with the crowd, impressed Coach Bahr. "Lou is only a walk-on, but I 'was real happy with the way he wrestled tonight," said Bahr. John Beljan kept the Wolverines on the winning road by defeating Pete Feldmeier, 10-4. Then at 158, freshmen'Tim Fagan showed.his inexperience as he lost to Purdue's Mike Barker, 10-4. Nemir Nadhir, who normally wrestles at 158, but was moved to 167 for this match, had a tough time defeating senior Purdue captain Ron Johns, 7-6. Nadhir and Johns, who could easily pass for brothers, started the first period pushing each other before they finally settled down to business. Nadhir was behind throughout most of the match until he scored two r akedowns in the final period to take the match. In the final three weight classes, Michigan totally obliterated any chan- ce Purdue might have had of winning. At 177, Bill Konovsky beat Purdue's Kurt Peterson, 15-3, to gain a five point superior decision. Then at 19t1, Bill Petoskey totally manhandled the Boilermakers' Brian Thompson as he pin- ned him at 6:35. Senior Steve Bennett kept the domination flowing as he also recorded a pin on Jay Allison of Purdue at 4:52, This gave the Wolverines the final 30-9 victory. Notable in his absence was Steve Fraser, who normally wrestles at 190. "Steve is cutting weight to get down to 177 for the NCAA's," explained Coach Bahr. "Ile's at 181 right now and he'll definitely wrestle against Illinois." Luckily, the Wolverine grapplers didn't need the services of Fraser to defeat the outmanned Purdue squad.

ByZIKE WERINR, Coach Stu Isaac called the Indiana Hoosiers "the biggest challenge to our supremacy in the Big Ten." This is a big compliment for the team from Bloomington, since the Michigan women's swimming team has not lost a Big Ten dual meet since January of 1975. Indeed, Indiana is a very talented team, boasting Wendy Lee and Jennifer Hooker, two women who swam in the 1976 summer Olympics in Montreal. However, the Wolverines will be ready. For the first time since Christ- mas, they will be totally healthy and at full strength. Two swimmers who have sparked th Michigan squad lately have been Marie Palko and Suzanne Anderson. "Marie and Suzanne are really coming around now," coach Isaac observed. "They're starting to swim up to their potential." The ,two greatest advantages the Wolverine swimmers have are ex- perience in key, pressure meets, and the supremacy of their divers. "We always save our best efforts for the big meets," said coach Isaac. By finishing first and undefeated in the Big Ten the past four years, the Michigan swimmers have proved this.

"I've said it before," Isaac beamed. "We have the best one- two punch in the country." With the likes of All-Americans Barb Weinstein and Julie Bachman on the squad, it is easy to see why Isaac speaks with such confidence. There is no doubt that Saturday's meet at Matt Mann Pool in Ann Arbor will be a tight one. As Isaac puts it, "There will be no messing around this week. Everyone will be swimming their strong events." They had better, or Michigan's long- -lasting dominance in the Big Ten will be threatened. O .

LONDON-Th& Soviet Union will attend the Olympic Winter Games at Lake Placid, N.Y., next month and will stage the Summer Games in Moscow no matter what the United States does, a Soviet official says. "We shall fulfill our Olympic com- mitments," said Vladimir Popov, first deputy chairman of the Moscow Olym- pic Organizing Committee, answering questions in Moscow from David Frost. "We would not work counter to the spirit of the Olympic Games," Popov replied when asked if the Soviet Union will retaliate if the United States were to boycott the Summer Games because of the Soviet intervention inr Afghanistan. "We are convinced that the Games will take place as expected," Popov said. =AP 662-20 19 1 _ __._.

COVER EVERYTHNINGA DALLAS (AP) - Ed "Too Tall" Jones, who left the National Football League to become a professional boxer, yesterday denied reports he will return to the Dallas Cowboys after he com- pletes two scheduled fights in Jackson, Miss., and Atlantic City. N.J. Norm Hitzges, sports producer for KARC-TV in Los Angeles, quoted a source close to Jones when he broke the story during his weekly talk show yesterday morning on KERA radio in Dallas. BUT JO\ES told WJDX radio in Jackson he had no such plans. "I'm sure all 2u teams would like to see me back in uniform. I'm only con- centrating on one thing right now. That's boxing and I'm enjoying it," WJDX quoted Jones as saying. Jones also told WFAA-TV in Dallas he was thinking only about boxing, ad- RESUMES TI I Q W% I #GEtW TA TIA!&E ding Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson may have been Hitzges' source. "I WAS TOLD Hollywood Henderson mentioned the two of us going to some team in a package deal," he said. "I haven't even spoken to Thomas for quite some time. . . If it was true, he probably was joking with some guy in the Super Bowl. I think the rumor got started out in ILos Angeles." David Wolfe, Jones' manager, told KRLD radio in Dallas that Jones will not quit. "If he were planning to play pro foot- ball, we wouldn't be engaging in any fights now," Wolfe said. WOLFE SAID Jones will go to California after a Saturday night fight in Jackson with Rocky Gonzalez of San Antonio, Texas. He said Jones is plan- ning for a nationally televised bout next spring. In February, after fights in Atlantic City and Jacksonville, Fla., "Jones; feels he will have fulfilled his financial' obligation to his adviser. They will have made money for what they have under- taken," Hitzges said. E.I
