The first time these two teams met this season down in Columbus on January 24, the Wolverines managed to hold Williams to only six points in the first half, and went into the lockerroom at halftime with the. game tied at 32. Following the intermission, however, Williams erupted for 17 second stanza points, and as he went, so went his team. Ohio State won handily, 69-63. MICHIGAN COACH Bill Frieder is, of course, well aware of these facts. "We have to do a better job on Herb Williams than we did down there," he said. "But, we are on our own floor this time and maybe we'll do it." OSU opponents who have "done it" to Williams in recent games have had success against the Buckeyes (6-4 in the Big Ten, 11-8 overall) as a whole. At Michigan State, the Spartans held the big man to 12 points (four below his 16.4 average), and went on to win by six. And a week ago at Illinois, the Illini cut Williams' point production off at 11 on their way to an 82-63 thrashing of the once highly-touted Buckeye five. On the other hand, if you don't stop Williams, you'll ,have trouble stopping Ohio State, as Michigan State found out last Saturday. In that game the Buckeye center shot a sizzling 11 of 12 from the floor for a team high 25 as his team easily (73-62) avenged their earlier loss to the Spartans. - Besides showing how important Williams' performance is to Ohio State's overall success, the described MSU-OSU contests reveal another fac-. tor which has plagued Buckeye coach Eldon Miller's cagers all season: in- consistency. Win a few, lose a few seems to be the Buckeyes' motto this season. In con- trast to Michigan (16-3 overall, 7-3 con- ference), which is now riding a four game Big Ten win streak, the Bucks' longest conference victory string has been two. And an 11-8 overall record can only be called mediocre when it belongs to a team placed in the Top Ten in the pre-season by both the AP and UPI polls. AS THE POLLSTERS must have seen, Ohio State certainly does possess the size, strength, and talent needed to win. In 6-7, 230 lb. sophomore forward Clark Kellogg, it has a scorer averaging 17.7 points per game (19.3 in the conference) and the league's . leading rebounder. Opposite "Special K" is muscular 6-9 senior Jim Smith, on of the premier defensive forwards ih the nation. "There is no doubt about it," said Frieder of the talent of Williams, Kellogg, and Smith. "That frontline is the best in the country when it plays together."~ Apparently the OSU frontcourters were playing together the last time they faced Michigan, as they. tallied a com- I Cagers' Corner bined total of 47 points and rejected nine Wolverine shots. IT WAS THIS kind of display of talen- ted power whichprompted Frieder to assert that "we've got to play up to our potential 40 minutes for us to win. Even though Ohio played to its potential for only 10 minutes, it beat us last time." Both teams should have plenty of in- centive to play up to their respective potentials tonight.

The Wolverines, who are tied for the league lead with Iowa *and Indiana, need a win almost as much in order to stay in contention. At any rate, it is doubtful that they have forgotten the defeat they suffered through just less than three weeks ago in Columbus. Walker, PUR .............. Harper, II ..............

" An air of excitement surrounds this year's crop of netters, which is a young team - five freshmen, three sophomores, a junior and a senior - untested, but promising. 981 season MARTY'S ... GOES DUTCH TREAT WITH THEIR SIXTH ANNUAL.. . "I haven't been this psyched up in a long time," said Marian Kremer, a freshman from Memphis who will play No. 1 singles tomorrow against Michigan State. Kremer comes to Michigan sporting some impressive credentials. She has the national 21-under singles and 'doubles indoor titles to her credit, and was ranked tenth nationally in the 18- under division. The Wolverine netter narrowly defeated the Spartans, 5-4, last Novemeber in the MSU Invitational, but Kremer lost at No. 1 singles. "I was really nervous," said Kremer. "I had a confidence problem, but everything has been ironed out." The 1981 squad, though inexperien- ced, is already a close-knit unit. "We all got together last Sunday at the Pretzel Bell," said coach Oliver Owens. "We talked about our upcoming match (with MSU)." Susan Weber, the lone senior on the team, plays a key role in aiding the un- derclassmen. "She (Weber) gets us all psyched up and together," said Mary Mactaggart, the freshman who will occupy the No. 2 singles spot against the Spartans. Mactaggart, an aggressive netter from Port Huron, looks forward to a fine year. "We have the potential to win the Big Ten (title)," she said. ,That will take some exceptional per- DUTCH AUCTION FINAL WINTER CLEARANCE Now Thru Saturday formances, however, as Indiana looks to be very powerful. The Hoosiers defeated Michigan, 8-1, at the MSU In- vitational, but Owens should be en- couraged as three of the matches were, extended to three sets. Northwestern and Wisconsin are also 'among the favorites in the Big Ten. If enthusiasm plays any role in the season's outcome, however, Michigan should have a great year. With Kremer at No. 1 singles and Mactaggart at No. 2, the rest of the line- up for tomorrow's match will be: No. 3 singles-Weber; No. 4 singles-Jill Hertzman, a sophomore from Louisville; No. 5 singles-Robbie Risdon; No. 6 singles-Julie Naft; No. 1 doubles-Kremer-Mactaggart; No. 2 doubles-Naft-Robbie Risdon; No. 3 doubles-Weber-Maryanne Hodges. The tennis team is rounded rout by freshman Stacey Fallek, junior Betsy Shapiro and Daisy Martin, a sophomore from Bloomington, Indiana. The match against MSU gets under- way at 5 p.m. at the Track and Tennis Building.
