It's called the three-point play and it roasted the Wolverines in their 79- 72 loss to the Hawkeyes. Michigan was leading, 28-20, with just over four minutes to go in the first half yesterday when it discovered what kind of effect the new rule can have on a game. Iowa's Bob Hansen hit a three-point shot from the corner to cut the Wolverine lead to 28-23, and the Hawkeyes' Steve Carfino followed that with two straight bombs in a 30-second span to give Iowa a 29-28 lead. The results of Iowa's shooting spree were impressive-three baskets, nine poin- ts, an eight-point deficit erased in less than a minute-and-a-half, and a crowd that sounded like it had just witnessed the second coming of Jesus Christ. But that wasn't the end. In the second half, Michigan's Butch Wade hit a short shot to bring the Wolverines within five, 47-42, with just over 13 minutes left. In the next 45 seconds the two teams traded baskets twice but, for the Wolverines, there was a slight problem. While Eric Turner hit two conven- tional field goals during that stretch, Iowa's Carfino and Todd Berkenpas were nailing three-point shots. Each team had made two field goals but Michigan came out two points short. What happened in Iowa City, yesterday, was a far cry from what most Big Ten observers expected. When the Big Ten adopted the three-point play last summer, most of the conference coaches felt it would be used as a last-ditch effort by teams to catch up. "The three-point play will have no effect on college basketball," Indiana coach Bobby Knight said before the season. "It will give us something to talk and write about but it won't affect the game." Ha! It's obvious that Knight won't be taking over for Jimmy the Greek in the near future. The three-point phenomenon didn't just hit the Hawkeyes. In yesterday's Minnesota-Purdue contest, the Boilermakers made 16 field goals and eight of them were three-pointers. Purdue lost, 54-48, but it appears that more than one Big Ten coach has decided that the play can be integrated into his normal offense. On the surface, the three-point play would appear to benefit the Wolverines and, maybe in the long run, it will. After all, Michigan has Tur- ner and Leslie Rockymore, two very capable long-distance shooters. Yesterday, however, Michigan made only one of seven three-point shots and Turner was only one of five. Three of his misses late in the game were shots that Turner was obviously forcing. Iowa successfully negated his three-point shooting by dogging him whenever he got the ball in three-point territory. Even with a potential three-point threat like Turner on his team, Bill Frieder, to say the least, was not pleased with the rule after yesterday's game, "You want to know how I honestly feel?" he asked. "I wish they'd leave the game'of basketball alone and forget about the three-point play and shot clock." Just sour grapes? Well maybe, but Frieder has a point. And while Knight's statement on the three-point play was obviously inaccurate, it should not have been. Knight would have been correct if the distance of the three-point shot in the Big Ten had been set at 23'9"-the same as the NBA. Instead the conference decided on 21' and will likely find out that any decent shooter can score from that distance. The three-point shot, if it is to be part of the game, should not be so easy to make that it becomes commonplace. The distance of the shot should be set so a team that decides to bomb away is taking a real risk. That's not the situation right now. In the NBA, where the play is used almost exclusively late in the game, the top three-point shooter might average 35 to 40 percent if he has a good year. As it looks now the top man in the Big Ten could be around 50 percent. That is just way too high. The Big Ten, and all other conferences utilizing three-point shots, should take a tip from the NBA. Set the distance at least 23 feet or forget about the rule. Otherwise, college basketball could become a carnival. 14 Totals............200 28/65 15/21 11 29 72 Illini cager MADISON (AP)- Illinois' Derek Harper, held scoreless in the first half, scored 13 points in the second half yesterday to lead the Illini to a 61-54 Big Ten basketball victory over Wisconsin. Illinois, which boosted its overall record to 11-4, sputtered frequently during the first half and trailed 27-23 at intermission. BUT HARPER and Bruce Douglas took command in the second period and led the Illini to their first conference victory of the season against one defeat. Douglas paced the Illini with 18 points. Brad Sellers scored 21 points to lead Wisconsin, which dropped to 0-2 in the Big Ten and 5-6 overall. The Badgers committed numerous turnovers and were out-rebounded at both ends of the court in the second half. Their halftime edge quickly evaporated as Illinois took a 30-29 lead early in the second half on a lay-in by Douglas, who followed with two more baskets to give the visitors a lead they never relinquished. George Montgomery chipped in 11 points and Ephraim Winters added 9 for Illinois. Cory Blackwell scored 12 and Ricky Olson added 8 for Wisconsin. St. John's 76, Georgetown 67 NEW YORK (AP) - Seventh-ranked St. John's, led by Chris Mullin and Billy Goodwin, extended its win- ning streak to 13 yesterday with a hard-fought 76-67 Big East Conference victory over No. 17 Georgetown. Mullin, a 6-foot-6 sophomore who had been kept out s- drop, Bad of a St. John's game for the only time in his career against Georgetown last season, finished with 24 points, while Goodwin, a 6-5 senior, added 20 as the Redmen boosted their record to 13-0 and dropped the Hoyas to 9-4. ST. JOHN'S IS3-0 in Big East play and Georgetown is 0-1. St. John's overcame an 8-0 deficit and took a 31-26 halftime lead in the incident-marred first half. Five technical fouls were called, three against the Red- men including two against reserve Kevin Williams, who was involved in two scuffles with Georgetown's 7-0 sophomore Patrick Ewing. St. John's victory avenged three bad beatings by the Hoyas last season by a combined total of 62 poin- ts. Minnesota 54, Purdue 48 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Freshman guard Marc Wilson led Minnesota with 17 points as the Gophers beat 20th-ranked Purdue 54-48 in a Big Ten Conferen- ce basketball game yesterday. Minnesota, 10-1, held off the Boilermakers, 10-2, who hit eight three-point baskets and only eight two- point field goals. The Gophers outscored the Boiler- makers 13-2 during an early stretch and took a 10- point lead. But led by Curt Clawson's three three- pointers, the Boilermakers cut the deficit to 20-19 at the half.. THE GOPHERS built their lead early in the second half, but again Purdue stayed within range on three- 1gr,6 1 -5 . point baskets by Clawson and Steve Reid. Then, Minnesota pushed its lead to nine midway through the period. But Purdue reduced it to three again with seven minutes left and two with 4:30 left. The Boilermaker- s limited the Gophers' 7-foot-3 center Randy Breuer to one field goal in the second half. Free throws down the stretch helped Minnesota upend the persistent Boilermakers. Also in double figures for Minnesota were Breuer with 11 and Tommy Davis with 15. Clawson led Pur- due with 17, while Reid scored 16. North Carolina 87, Syracuse 64 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)- Michael Jordan scored 18 points and freshman Brad Daugherty added 15 as No. 18 North Carolina pulled away in the second half for an 87-64 college basketball victory over un- defeated and ninth-ranked Syracuse yesterday. The Tar Heels, who have won seven straight in running their record to 10-3, rode three spurts to the triumph. After the Orangemen, 11-1, took a quick lead in the opening minutes, North Carolina ran off 10 straight points for a 14-7 edge. Syracuse rallied for six ties, including 35-35 at halftime. After Daugherty hit a free throw, Erich Santifer scored five points to give Syracuse a 40-36 advantage at the 18:47 mark. North Carolina responded with eight unanswered points for a 44-40 lead with 15:26 remaining. i 14 4 4 Redskins scalp Detroit 4 WASHINGTON (AP)-Joe Theismann's three scoring passes to Alvin Garrett and cornerback Jeris White's 77-yard dash for a touchdown on the second-longest interception in playoff history carried the Washington Redskins to a 31-7 victory yesterday over the mistake-prone Detroit Lions. Twice in the second period Theismann and the 5-foot-7, 178-pound Garrett teamed to burn 5-11 right cor- nerback Bruce McNorton for 21-yard touchdown passes en route to a: 24-0 halftime lead. Then, with the first possession of the third quarter, Theismann and Garrett stung left cor- ner Bobby Watkins on a 27-yard scoring strike. GARRETT, replacing injured Art Monk, became the 13tV player in National Football League history to score three touchdowns in a playoff game and the sixth to catch three TD passes. The Redskins, 8-1 during strike-shortened regular season,gad- vanced to the second round by eliminating Detroit, at 4-5 the National Conference's only sub-.500 team in the playoffs. The 31 points were the most ever scored by the Redskins in post- season play. Theismann completed 14 of 19 attem- pts for 210 yards against the Lions' defense, 10th against the pass in the NFC. IN A SEASON, marked by no-shows far above the norm, the Redskins sold out 55,045-seat RFK Stadium, and every one of the seats was filled. The Lions, who had not scored in a playoff game since 1957 (they were shut Green Bay 41, St. Louis 16 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)-Lynn Dickey passed for 260 yards and four touchdowns, including a 60-yard strike to John Jefferson for Green Bay's go- ahead score in the first quarter, leading the Packers to a 41-16 National Football League playoff victory over the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday. Dickey also passed for touchdowns covering 20 yards to James Lofton, 4 to Eddie Lee Ivery and 7 to Jefferson, while Ivery scored on a 1-yard run and Jan Stenerud kicked two field goals as the Packers advanced into the National Football Conference playoff semifinals. JEFFERSON, who did not catch a touchdown pass during the regular season, had six receptions for 148 yar- ds. St. Louis' Neil Lomax threw touch- down passes of 5 yards to Pat Tilley and 18 to Mike Schumann, and Neil O'Donoghue kicked an 18-yard field goal. However, O'Donoghue missed 44-. and 45-yard field goal attempts and had a 44-yarder blocked by Gary Lewis, who also deflected a conversion attem- pt. The Cardinals lost star running back Otis Anderson, who sprained his left ankle on the second play of the second quarter and did not return after he had rushed for 38 yards on eight carries. Tilley, the Cardinals' top receiver, went out with a sprained knee in the third quarter. Los Angeles 27, Clereland 10 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Quarterback Jim Plunkett picked the Cleveland secondary apart yesterday, passing for 386 yards as the Los Angeles Raiders *nran +- rn.-0711 -- -. -4 teams. Plunkett guided the Raiders on an 88- yard, eight-play touchdown drive on their second possession, with Allen's first TD making it 10-3, but the Browns tied the score on a 43-yard scoring pass from Paul McDonald to Ricky Feacher with 2:02 left in the first half. Miami 28, New England 13 MIAMI (AP) - David Woodley tossed a pair of touchdown passes to Bruce Hardy and set up two other scores with pinpoint passing yesterday as the Miami Dolphins ended eight years of post-season frustration with a 28-13 National Football League playoff victory over the New England Patriots. Woodley, a third-year pro who averaged only 120 yards per game passing during the strike-shortened regular season, pierced the Patriot's secondary for 246 yards on 16 of 19 passing. His first scoring pass to Hardy, with 6:36 left in the second period, lifted Miami into a 7-3 lead, and a 36-yard completion to Duriel Harris set up An- dra Franklin's one-yard touchdown run for a 14-3 halftime advantage. 4 4 Ar rnoto Washington quarterback Joe Theismann takes a hit and fumbles the ball in yesterday's NFC play-off game between the Redskins and the Lions. Detroit, however, could not do this well on very many plays as the Lions went down to defeat 31- 7.
