Its hockey team is pretty good, too. Basketball, however, just ain't the Broncos' thing. DESPITE sleepwalking its way- through the first 23 minutes of non- action, Michigan trounced the Ponies, 83-59, last night at Crisler Arena. Roy Tarpley led the way for the Wolverines with 21 points and 12 rebounds (yawn). Michigan came out flat in the first half which allowed the Broncos to stay in the game. The Wolverines' lead stayed between five and nine during 20 of the dullest minutes in college basket- ball history. After the game, no one on the Michigan side denied that the team wasn't really into it. "WE WERE going through the motions," said Rich Rellford, who cap- ped off a nine-point night with a reverse dunk. "Anytime we go through the motions, things just don't fall into place." "We kind of took it for granted," ad- ded Antoine Joubert, who established a career high in assists (11) for the second straight game. "I think we got lackadaisical defen- sively and took some bad shots," of- fered Michigan coach Bill Frieder. MICHIGAN'S WEAK effort wasn't the only thing that made the first half so dull. There were a number of con- tributors. " The crowd: Only 8,439 fans decided to show up and the student sections were empty. Apparently, a lot of Michigan scholars had 20-pagers due today. Crisler sounded even more like a morgue than usual. " The officiating: Jim Bain's crew made a number of ridiculous calls against both sides. Both teams were called for meaningless, sloppy fouls that did nothing but stop the clock. a- F, F. Fa 'a " The lack of inside play: Western's forwards didn't even bother to go inside against their much taller opponents. The half became a battle of jump shooters. THINGS FINALLY picked up when Western cut the lead to 38-35 at the 17:22 mark of the second half. The Wolverines realized that there was a possibility of losing to a team that was fortunate to go 4-24 last year. Michigan ran off 10 straight points and breezed to its fifth straight win. The rest of the second half consisted of seeing how bad the Broncos could play and finding out if Tarpley would match his 19.8 scoring average. Western hit its low point with 12 minutes remaining when the Wolverine defense conceded a lay-up to back-up center Mark Gorski. The 6-8 225-pound Gorski, who had compiled a sterling seven percent shooting percentage (one-for-13) thus far this season, somehow managed to soar above the rim and miss. The South Bend, Ind. native did manage to drop in a short one later in the half to raise his field goal percentage to 13. TARPLEY ONLY had 13 points with 4:39 left but put in four foul shots, a hook, and a slam before Frieder gave him a rest at the 2:53 mark. Western's defense just couldn't handle the 6-11 center. Frieder, Knight reprimanded SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (AP) - The Big Ten Conference yesterday reprimanded basketball coaches Bill Frieder of Michigan and Bobby Knight of Indiana for failing to at- tend recent meetings of league's basketball coaches, officials said. In a statement issued from Big Ten headquarters, the league also said it has formally asked Knight to provide information to the conferen- ce office about his recent remarks questioning the recruiting practices of other member institutions. THE REPRIMANDS were con- tained in letters to the two coaches sent after the conference's faculty representatives and athletic direc- tors held regular meetings last week. Both Frieder and Knight were ab- sent from the basketball coaches' of- ficiating clinic Oct. 7. "Michigan came out in the second half and took the ball inside really well," said Western coach Vernon Payne, whose Broncos are now 3-3. "Until we get a kid inside who's a threat, people are going to pack the in- side and make us shoot jump shots." The other highlight came during gar- bage time. With a minute-and-a-half remaining, reserve center Steve Stoyko made a great save of a ball heading out of bounds. Guard Ron Gibas retrieved the ball and pushed it towards Leslie Rockymore, who put up a shot that was going to be two feet short. Rellford grabbed the ball out of the air and put in a reserve slam that put the 47 people remaining on their feet. "I THOUGHT it was going to be short," said Rellford. "And I hadn't had a dunk all night so . . ." Among the more serious highlights Next week, Burns Park Girl Scouts was the play of Garde Thompson and Butch Wade. The 6-1 guard from Grand Rapids played 23 solid minutes and was three-for-three from the field, raising his shooting percentage to 85 percent. Wade finally got some of his shots to fall, the 6-8 forward sank six-of-nine at- tempts. "I was a little bit more patient," said' Wade, who also had 11 rebounds. "I just hope they keep going." Rob Henderson went down at the 10:02 mark with a bruised knee. His status is uncertain and when asked on which play he got hurt Henderson responded, "It was the one when you heard me screaming." If you think that's funny, Western Michigan plays DePaul next Wed- nesday. MICHIGAN WESTERN MICHIGAN Booker ....... Petties ...... Oliver ....... Bolden ........ Zachry ........ Mahaley.....

The women cagers returned home from the Florida State Tournament in Tallahassee, Fla. Sunday with a two- game split and a 4-2 record overall. "WE'RE VERY, very pleased with what we did down there," said head AP Women 's split in coach Bud Van De Wege of his team's 76-71 victory over host Florida State md 71-60 loss to South Alabama. But Van De Wege does not want his players to get complacent about their uick start. "You cannot rest on what you've done," he said at yesterday's practice. "I'm happy, but I want more." In all, there were four teams in the tournament this weekend. Michigan drew the host school, Florida State, the first night, but the pressure did not get to the Wolverines as they shot a cool 51 percent from the floor in eliminating the Seminoles. SENIOR GUARD Orethia Lilly and freshman forward Lorea Feldman led the way with 20 and 14 points respec- tively. Senior guard Connie Doutt also chipped in with 14 points in a strong Florida performance off the bench. But the hot-shooting cagers, now hit- ting at close to 52 percent on the season, cooled off in the second game on Sun- day. South Alabama, 24-6 last year and 6-0 this year, used their size advantage to push the Wolverines outside where they hit a below average 42 percent from the field. "They were much bigger than we were," said coach Van De Wege. "They were more like a Big Ten team." Van De Wege added that Sunday's 71-60 loss to South Alabama was the first time his team was outrebounded in six games this year. It was also the first time the team failed to shoot 50 percent from the floor. Against South Alabama, Lorea Feldman once again paced the Wolverines with 14 points. 0 0 is S l i l COKE SALE' $1.99 8-pk. *1/2 Liter Campus Corner r 0 " " " 0 ii0iiii0i00i @ S.....+ 818 S.
