DEFENSE STYMIES 17-RANKED MINNESOTA

Michigan rocks

Gophers, 63-58

By LARRY MISHKIN
They may have done it the hard way,
but the Michigan Wolverines finally
won a Big Ten basketball game.
Despite shooting a weak 38 percent
from the floor; the Wolverines turned in
a fine defensive effort and rebounded
well as they edged the 17th-ranked
Minnesota Golden Gophers 63-58 before
10,568 fans in Crisler Arena last night.
MINNESOTA guard Tommy Davis
hit a 24-foot three-point shot with 26

seconds left to play to pull the Gophers
within one of the Wolverines, 59-58,
erasing a seven-point lead that
Michigan had built with only three
minutes left to play. The Gophers im-
mediately fouled Michigan's Eric Tur-
ner, who hit the first end of a one-and-
one before missing the second shot.
Playing for the last shot, Davis put up
an off-balance jumper that bounced off
the rim and freshman Robert Hender-
son pulled down the rebound and passed
off to Turner who hit Leslie Rockymore
with a fullcourt pass. Rockymore laid
the ball in for an easy two, despite being
undercut by Davis, to secure
Michigan's first conference victory of
the young season.
The key to the game, however, was
the Wolverines' fine defensive effort
that held Minnesota's highly-touted 7-3
center Randy Breuer to his season
average of 20 points while holding the
Gophers' hot-shooting guard tandem of
Davis and Marc Wilson to 10 and six
points respectively. The two had been
averaging 14.4 and 12.5 points a game
coming into the contest.
"WE GAVE a good defensive effort
tonight," said Michigan coach Bill
Frieder. "When you have a good defen-
sive effort and rebound you can survive
without shooting well."
Awful would be a better way to

describe the way Michigan shot.
Turner was three-for-13 and
Rockymore, who wound up the team's
leading scorer with 15, was six-for-18,
missing the first seven shots he took.
The key for the Wolverines was that
they made the shots when they had to.
The Rock's first basket didn't come
until 3:22 remained the first half, but it
was a three-pointer and knotted the
score at 22. His only other basket of the
half came with a minute left and gave
Michigan a 28-26 halftime lead.
TURNER, WHO wound up with 10
points, hit three-of-four free throws in
the final minute to help lock up the vic-
tory.
However, it was the play of freshman

Butch Wade that gave the Wolverines
their biggest boost. Wade, who had seen
little playing time, scored nine points
and pulled down seven rebounds while
going three-for-three from the line.
With Michigan down, 43-34, with 13
minutes left, Wade went on a tear,
scoring six points and pulling down
some key rebounds as the Wolverines
bounced back and took a 48-47 lead with
7:34 left in the game.
"I felt great out there," said Wade. "I
was ready to play. Coach Frieder told
me to get in there and get some reboun-
ds and I got as many as I could. He told
me to keep my head up and my oppor-
tunity would be coming. Tonight it
came."

Rocky win

Stanovich takes step
toward tumbling goal
By PAUL RESNICK
Even in a sport as individualistic as gymnastics, there is still room for
leadership. For the Michigan men's gymnastics team, it is Milan Stanovich
who provides the leadership.
"A captain can be good more so by his actions than his words," said gym-
nastics coach Newt Loken. "This year he has done a good job of leading the
team by example with his organized workouts and meet performances."
SENIOR DINO Manus concurred, saying, 'When he does well (in a meet)
it's a motivation for me to do well."
Stanovich's goals are not limited to collegiate success. He also hopes to
compete in international gymnastics events and took the first step toward
that end last weekend by qualifying for the U.S. Gymnastics Federation
Championships which will be held June 3-4.
"We're all hoping he finishes his collegiate career by reaching his goal,"
said Loken. "He deserves it."
UP TO 72 GYMNASTS will compete in the U.S.G.F. championships. The
gymnast who fares best will be declared United States champion. In ad-
dition, two teams wil be chosen to represent the U.S. in international com-
petition. The top 24 finishers in the competition will be placed on the roster
of one of the two teams, according to Stanovich.
His goal is to make one of those two teams. "Of course, I'd like to be in the
top seven and make the Olympic team," said Stanovich, "but if I finish 24th,
that's fine too."
According to Stanovich, the scoring in the U.S.G.F. Championships
stresses compulsory over optional exercises.
SINCE COMPULSORIES are not included in NCAA competition, he has to
work on them as an extra task. Working on his compulsories on top of his
regular workout for the team means long hours at the gym for Stanovich.
His normal workout begins at 2:00 p.m. and ends at 6:00 p.m.
Even if making a U.S. team is not in the cards for Stanovich this year, he
plans to pursue the goal at least for one more year. "When I feel like I can't
progress anymore or if it becomes a chore," said Stanovich, "then I'd
retire. Right now it's still fun. "
Stanovich attributes his success to several factors. First, there has been
the support of his parents. He says they will support him financially next
year if he chooses to continue in gymnastics competition.
SECOND, HE received very good coaching his last two years in high
school. "I went back to doing basics for two years, flexibility and strength
exercises," said Stanovich. "It was really boring but very helpful."
Third, he thinks that getting to compete on Michigan's team his freshman
year helped a lot. Back then, his all-around scores were about 46, compared
to the 55's and up he's been getting this year. He says he wo d not have made
the team if he had entered college this year with the skills fehad as a fresh-
man.
When he stops competing, his options.for the future are open. At least for a
while, he plans to coach at his mother's gymnastics club.
With a degree in physical education, he may eventually decide to coach
gymnastics in a high school.
For now, however, Stanovich will continue competing for the Wolverines
and preparing for the U.S. Gymnastics Federation Championships.

Hughes made

for NHL

By RANDY BERGER
Often we hear a coach say that a cer-
tain athlete possesses great potential
and has great prospects for the future.
Fans have grown weary of these
prophecies because more times than
not these so-called great prospects fade
into oblivion.
However, there are such cases as
former Michigan hockey player Pat
Hughes - currently playing with the
Edmonton Oilers - who make it wor-
thwhile to be patient.

WHILE AT Michigan in 1974, '75 and
'76, Hughes was lost in a crowd. Those
Michigan teams of the mid-70's have
turned out 11 professional players in-
cluding Greg Fox, now with the Chicago
Black Hawks, Rob Palmer of the New
Jersey Devils, John McCahill (New
Jersey), Angie Moretto (New Jersey),
and Dave Debol of Hartford. It is this
list of names which appears in
Michigan hockey record books more of-
ten than Hughes'. The only distinctions
Hughes garnered while at Michigan
were winning the Dekers Club Award in
1974 for being the most colorful rookie
and holding down 26th place in career
goals.
However, since being in the pro ranks
Hughes has overshadowed his former
teammates. Last year Hughes tallied 24
goals and 46 points for the Oilers, more

than doubling that of any former
Wolvering playing in the NHL.
Hughes credits his late success to the
fact that some players are just better
suited for the pro's.
"SOME PLAYERS are more adap-

Hughes. "It was an honor to be selected
by them, but in a way it was a disadvan-
tage because I had to play two years in
the minors."
THE ONLY thing, though, that was
keeping Hughes from succeeding in the
NHL was lack of playing time. While he
did not see much action with the
Canadiens and then with the Pittsburgh
Penguins, now he is finally gaining
minutes with the first-place Oilers.
"I'm happy playing here because I'm
getting a lot of ice time, mainly by
killing penalties," commented Hughes,
who in 42 games thus far this season has
17 goals and 12 assists.
Although Hughes' statistics may not
be leading the league, he has had an op-
portunity that not many players have
gotten - playing with two of the best
players ever to wear a hockey uniform,
Guy Lafleur and Wayne Gretzky. Even
though it is still too early to assess
Gretzky's career, Hughes seems to be
more impressed with his skills than
with Lafleur's.
"When Lafleur was in his prime he
was the greatest playing the game, but
I think Gretzky is better in that he con-
trols the center more," said the 27-year-
old native of Calgary who now resides
in Ann Arbor. "It's a lot of fun playing
with him and plus you see how hard he
works, and I think it rubs off on the rest
of us."

table to the college game than the
pro's," said the Oilers' right wing. "In
college everyone is a good skater and
stickhandler but when it gets down in
traffic and rough playing, many college
players have trouble. In the pro's the
play is much tougher and I believe my
play is more suitable to it."
After being drafted in 1975 during his
junior year by the Montreal Canadiens,
Hughes had little doubt that he had the
skating ability to play in the NHL or, for
that matter, playing for the perennial
champion Canadiens.
"I always felt I had the skating
ability and Montreal is always looking
for good skaters so it didn't surprise me
that much to be drafted by them," said
