"Once he got it I think he relaxed." That first basket came two minutes into the second half, pulling the Wolverines to within two, 33-31. But more importantly, it changed the tem- po of the game dramatically into the Wolverines' favor. "I FELT A little down (at halftime)" said Tarpley. "But I just kept my head together and came out for the second half even more determined." After Tarpley's first bucket, Detroit pulled further ahead on a Greg Wendt layup, 35-31. Rich Rellford cut the lead awns Detroit to three by making the second of two free throws and then Gary Grant hit from the corner to make it 35-34. Then the Wolverines worked the ball inside to Tarpley for a slam the next time down the court and took the lead for good. Michigan then rattled off 24 points to the Titan's 10, highlighted by six buckets from Tarpley, including and alley-oop from Garde Thompson, and a jumper from the right corner by senior guard Leslie Rockymore. In the contest Rockvmore seemedjto get back some of the scoring touch he lost last season, pumping in 16 points. Wade even got into the act during the Wolverine's run making up for his missed dunk in the first half by suc- cessfully executing a one-handed jam after stealing the ball at half court. "It's a little easier one-handed," said Wade after the contest. In the game, the 6-8 junior forward pumped in six-of- eight field goals and added three-of- four free throws for a 15-point effort. Antoine Joubert also hit double figures for the Wolverines, hitting five field goals and one free throw for 11 points. Wendt, a 6-6 forward who transfered to Detroit last year from Duke, led the Titans with 19 points. Detroit also got 13 from forward Brian Humes. * * * Paul Jokisch said yesterday he would join the basketball team after the foot- ball team plays in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 21. Jokisch said he would be ready for the Tennessee game on Dec. 29. Coach Bill Frieder added that Jokisch probably wouldn't be ready for game action until the Big Ten opener against Indiana on Jan. 2. Sicko losing Bo accepts By MIKE MCGRAW It's official now. The Wolverines will be jetting out to San Diego to play in the Holiday Bowl on December 21 against undefeated and number-one ranked Brigham Young. This will be the first time ever that Michigan will be matched against the nation's top team in a bowl game. Ironically, this opportunity comes following the Wolverines' worst season since 1967. But last Saturday, when the bowl bids could finally be extended, the Holiday people invited Michigan and Bo Schembechler accepted. "THE OPPORTUNITY to go to the Holiday Bowl, we didn't anticipate because of our five losses," said Schem- bechler at Saturday's press conference. "We didn't expect to go to a bowl game this prestigious because of our record." The chance for Michigan to get in on the Holiday action came as a result of the usual unimportance of the Holiday Bowl. It does not have a contract with one of the major networks so it doesn't have near the money to offer its participants as do the New Year's Day contests. But the bowl has an agreement to invite the champion of the Western Athletic Conference, which happened to be a this-time undefeated BYU for the ninth-straight year. When the other top twenty teams opted to go elsewhere. loliday bid the Holiday Bowl was forced to go with the Blue. "IN PLAYING Brigham Young, who is ranked number one and is the most prolific passing team in the country, I think we're well-schooled against that kind of a team," said Schembechler, who is headed for bowl play for the 10th-straight season. "When you play Miami, Illinois, Iowa or Purdue, you're playing nationally-ranked passing teams. Our record against them is 2-2 and we played all those teams very close."~ Brigham Young's powerful passing attack is led by Robbie Bosco, another in the series of star Cougar quar- terbacks. Bosco, a 6-3 junior from Roseville, Calif., has .tossed for over 3500 yards this season and against Air For- ce, racked up 484 yards in the air. BUT SCHEMBECHLER doesn't feel that stopping the BYU offense is outside the realm of capabilities of the Wolverine defense. "We're not going out there with the idea that we are cannon fodder for Brigham Young," said the 15-year coach. "We are going out there to win. We think its a great challenge." There was some question as to whether Michigan would elect to go to a bowl after finishing 6-5 this season. But a bout with the team on top is tough to say no to. "First of all, in our situation it's nice to go to a good locale like San Diego. It's nice to play in a big stadium and to play a nationally well-known team," Schembechler said. "These bowl games offer an educational opportunity for our players and we'd like to go every year. We're pleased as the dickens that the Holiday Bowl invited us." Schembechler indicated that the team would start prac- ticing again around December 10 and would probably leave for California on the 18th.

There are many times during a hockey season when a coach will pon- der what might have happened if the puck had taken a different bounce here or there. THE PAST weekend was one of those times for Michigan coach Red Beren- son. He watched his team drop two homes games to Lake Superior State, a 1-0 heartbreaker and a 6-3 loss in which the Wolverines led 3-0 in the second period. What if Michigan had won both games? Well, they would have moved into solid contention for a top-four finish in the CCHA and climbed to a .500 overall record. Instead, the Wolverines find them- selves in a four-way tie for fifth. Michigan is 5-7 in the CCHA and 5-9 overall. ALTHOUGH THE season is not yet half over, this weekend's games were very important. Lake Superior is now tied with Michigan State for first place with 18 points and both teams are put- ting some distance between themselves and Michigan. Friday night's game was a rare defensive struggle for the Wolverines, featuring a goaltending duel between Michigan's Mark Ciamp and State's Randy Exelby. The only goal of the game was scored on a power play at the 15:15 mark of the first period by the Lakers' Allan Butler. "OUR DEFENSE played fairly well," said Berenson. "But we still didn't play as well as we have to to beat a team like this. Lake Superior is an improved team. They're playing with a lot of confidence and making a lot of opportunities." While the defense may have im- proved, the offense was notably missing. In an effort to shake things up for Saturday's game, Berenson ben- ched Chris Seychel, the team's second- leading scorer, as well as regulars Paul Kobylarz and Dan Goff. Freshman Paul Rossi and junior Time O'Connor saw ice time as a result. "We weren't pleased with our work habits (Friday night)," Berenson said. "We think Seychel is one of our better players but he's got to be out there giving 110 percent." THROUGH TWO periods on Satur- day, all of Michigan's players looked like they were giving 110 percent. The Wolverines held a 3-0 lead on goals by John Bjorkman, Frank Downing and freshman Sean Baker. The goal by Baker was his first as a collegiate. Craig Hewson scored for the Lakers at 10:59 of the second period to cut the margin to 3-1 going into the final period. Then the roof caved in on Michigan goalie Tim Makris. The lead slowly melted away and when Jim Roque scored at 10:51, Lake Superior was in front, 4-3. Two of the Lakers' five goals in the period were power play goals. Beren- son was not pleased with the officiating. "The penalties hurt us," he said. "And they were unnecessary penalties, I thought. The ref didn't let the teams play. In a close hockey game, you've got to let the teams play hockey." Michigan will play it again this weekend, hosting Ohio State for a two- game series. BLUE LINES: Defenseman Todd Carlile sat out Saturday's game as a precautionary measure after taking an elbow to the head in Friday's contest. Carlile did not have a concussion and should be back in action this weekend... Center Brad Jones, on the other hand, may be out for a few weeks. The sophomore injured his right leg Satur- day night when he got pinned along the boards... Berenson was again pleased with the performance of Makris and he will probably take another turn this weekend.
