0 WOMEN CAGERS WIN, 89-86 IN OT: The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, January 30, 1980-Page 9 FORMER SPARTAN CHOSEN Blue d By MARK FISCHER Three last minute free throws ovded the difference for Michigan women's cagers last night at Crisler Arena as they took a thrilling 89-86 overtime victory from a tough 11-10 Louisville squad. A smoking Diane Dietz (15 for 26 from the floor) led the Wolverines with 31 points, but in the end it was two "quieter" players, Diane Hatch and Brenda Venhuizen, who won it for the home team. WITH 50 SECONDS remaining in the ertime period and the score tied at 86, Dietz fed Venhuizen inside, where she was fouled in the act of shooting. Venhuizen's first free throw hit the rim eals Cards a loss and bounced off, but her second toss filled the hole nicely, sending Michigan ahead to stay. The two teams then traded turnovers, but Louisville missed its final shot, and Wolverine center Penny Neer corraled the ball and fired the outlet pass to Hat- ch with only 15 seconds left. Hatch then dribbled around until she was fouled with only three seconds, remaining in the game. Her two charity tosses hit nothing but net, icing it for the Maize and Blue. .f The Wolverines' chances for a victory did not seem good near the end of regulation play, however. The nine point lead that Michigan held over the visitors midway through the second half became a mere memory, as Louisville pressed, out-rebounded, and out-shoot their hosts to take a 78-72 lead with only 40 seconds left to play. It was then that Dietz went to work, hitting on a driving, pull-up jumper and a 15 footer to pull her team within 2with just 21 seconds showing on the clock. BUT THINGS still looked bad for the Blue, as Louisville's Gayle Horstman had a chance to double her team's lead with a pair of free throws. Fortunately for Michigan, she missed both, whereupon Hatch pulled off a sen- sational full court drive to tie the game at 78 and send it into overtime. The score in overtime remained close until the final seconds. Louisville took the opening tap and the lead on a lay- up. But Michigan hung tough, backed by three clutch jumpers by Dietz, the third of which put the Wolverines out in front 86-84. Louisville's Regina Carroll came back quickly with a driving one- hander to tie it up at 86, setting the stage for the final three free throws by Michigan. The game too was close from the start. Louisville broke to an early 6-0 lead, but the sharp shooting (56 per cent) Wolverines battled back behind Abby Currier's 16 first half points to take a 33-30 lead at halftime. IN THE SECOND half, Michigan built their lead up to nine, but Louisville, taking advantage of ,their opponents' foul trouble (Currier, Katie McNamara, and Tammie Sanders all fouled out) crashed the boards again and again, and took the lead with six minutes left in regulation. However, as Coach Gloria Soluik en- thused, "This time the kids were just not goting to give up." MS Unames new coach By United Press International EAST LANSING - New Athletic Director Doug Weaver made a stunning reach into Michigan State's fabled foot- ball past yesterday and pulled out Frank "Muddy" Waters of Saginaw Valley State College to succeed Darryl Rogers as the Spartans' football coach. - "This appointment is something I've -- dreamed of for 30 years," said Waters, 56, who at least once before applied to coach at his alma mater but was turned down. "I thought it had passed me by." Waters is the patriarch of a football family. He lettered at fullback from 1946 through 1949 at Michigan State and a son, Frank D. Jr., was a Michigan State wide receiver and running back for the Spartans from 1966-68. Frank Jr. ' was on his staff at Saginaw Valley. The announcement by Weaver ended a search that began two weeks ago when Rogers and Dr. Joseph Kearney, the previous athletic director, fled for jobs at Arizona State. Waters was recommended by Weaver, himself a Michigan State foot- ball player, and approved by MSU API President M. Cecil Mackey. Frank "Muddy" Waters, director of athletics and head football coach Waters said his first task would be to Saginaw Valley State College, was named head football coach at Michiga "put Michigan State football back on State University yesterday. the road to success where it belongs," and said he would begin recruiting im- mediately. Waters leaves his twin job as athletic director and football coach at Saginaw Valley State College and brings a 30- year record of 180-78-7 to the job. Weaver praised Waters as "a proven coach and one of the most respected men" in the country. He also satisfies Spartan cravings for one of their own. Se "He is as Michigan State "as Spartan Stadium and Beaumont Tower," Weaver said. "He has the character and talent to attract character and talent in coaches and athletes. "I feel that Michigan state football Plenty of Variety has never had a brighter future. I'm as - 3 excited as I was years ago when taking Inexpensive rices. the field against Michigan for Notre Dame," said Weaver. 2 , eny style Photo at an m. Currier ........ McNamara .... Neer ........

WARRIORS END LOSING STREAK V I .Pistons oblige Golden St., 111-100 By DREW SHARP Special to the Daily PONTIAC-It was a battle between the two worst teams in the NBA and the Pistons showed why they are the ar- mpit of the professional league by losing to the Golden State Warriors, 111- 00, before a crowd of 5,212 at the ;lverdome last night. The victory snapped a five game losing streak for the Warriors. It was the Pistons second consecutive defeat. Guard Phil Smith paced the Warrior attack by hitting a game high 26 points, his season high, while Bob McAdoo led the Piston scorers with 25 points. The Warriors took the lead midway through the first period and never relinquished it, altough they gave it a good shot by committing several tur- novers. The Pistons, playing true to form, however, could not capitalize on the mistakes. Golden State took control of the game by scoring the first six points of the fourth period and stretched their lead to 18 points, 97-79, the greatest point dif- ference of the evening. Leon Douglas had one of his better defensive games of the season when he swept the boards clean for 22 rebounds. Terry Deurod had 18 points and former Michigan State star Greg Kelser had 13 for the Pistons. Coach Richie Adubato felt his back- court did not perform up to expec- tations. "We were down ten at the halftime," SPORTS OF THE DAILY: 'Great Moment' not for Aaron ATLANTA-All-time home run king Henry Aaron, who snubbed an award commemorating his record 715th homer as "The Greatest Moment of the Decade," added fire to the controversy l3 sterday by claiming he, and not Pete ose, should have been selected as "Player of the Decade." "I don't want this to sound like I have anything against Pete Rose or his ac- complishments, because I don't," Aaron said. "I. justfeel like what I did in the '70s was in no way second best to . any accomplishment of anybody, no matter what they did." SPORTS BROADCASTERS and writers and baseball executives par- cipated in the voting. Rose received 709 points, including 24 first place votes. Rod Carew of the California Angels was second with 103 points and 20 firsts. Aaron was next with 86 points, in- cluding 20 firsts. Aaron blamed New York spor- tswriters. "I just think there were some people in the press who didn't want to vote me this award. I don't want to get into a raeial thinev but T was never the ideal he chose to sign immediately with the Argos rather than wait for the Nationil Football League draft because he felt his speed and quickness made him bet- ter suited for the CFL. Bass, 21, was a Big Ten Conference all-star last season and a second-team all-America selection after he set a con- ference record of 160 tackles in his four- th year at Michigan State.'1Ae Lansing, Mich., native also set a conference record with a 99-yard touchdown on an interception return. Kush setles PHOENIX-Ousted Arizona State football coach Frank Kush settled his multimillion-dollar suit .against the school for $200,000 yesterday six hours before a take-it-or-leave-it deadline. Kush was suspended as coach last Oct. 13 amidst charges he had slugged a player and then had tried to coerce other players and coaches into lying in a coverup effort. He denied- both charges. THE STATE authorized the set- tlement on grounds Kush's suit would said Adubato, "If we could have han- dled the ball properly, we could have been up. It was a bad night for the rookies. They all picked the same night to have a bad one." Smith took exception to the fact that he plays well against the Pistons. "I get hot occasionally but it happens more often in' Detroit," said the five year veteran from the University of San Francisco. "I can't explain why but I've been able to hit on Detroit throughout my career." The loss puts the Pistons even deeper into the cellar of the Central Divison. They now sport a 14-39 record-the worst in professional basketball. HOW TO GET BETTER MILEAGE FROM YOUR CAR... Obey the 55 mph speed limit. Keep your engine tuned.
