The Wolverines were starving for a win, having lost 13 games in a row. They came close to tasting victory, but Orethia Lilly's last second shot bounced off the rim, sealing a 61-59 Indiana win at Crisler Arena. Trailing by 17 at halftime, 37-20, the Wolverines mounted a successful comeback, tying the contest at 57-57 with 2:52 remaining on a Lorea Feldman layup. Indiana's Noelle Young hit a 12-foot jumper, and Karna Abram made both free throws on a one-and-one opportunity to put the'Hoosiers up by four with a minute and a half to play. MICHIGAN freshman Kelly Benintendi swished a shot from a foot above the foul line to cut the edge to 61-59 with 39 seconds left. Abrams then floated an air ball that bounced over the lines untouched, returning possession to the home team with :21 seconds showing on the clock. After a time-out, Benintendi launched a shot from the free throw line that missed; Lilly grabbed the rebound in the lane, but her tur- naround attempt off the glass fell harmlessly off the rim as the buzzer sounded. "We really showed our desire to get back in it in the second half," said Michigan head coach Bud Van De Wege. "I said at the half, 'You guys are flat and tired (from Thursday night's game against Ohio State). You don't want to end the season the way you played in the first half.' In the second half they played with a lot of heart and enthusiasm." It took the Wolverines ten full minutes to scratch their way back. Michigan trailed 43-26 when Benintendi canned a 15- footer, three minutes into the final frame. That began a 21-8 run, capped by three consecutive hoops by Wendy Bradetich, bringing the Blue within two points. The teams traded baskets most of the rest of the way. The Hoosiers dominated the first half with their strong in- side play. Abram (23 points) and Cindy Bumgarner (20 poin- ts) worked well together, dumping the ball to the weak side for numerous layups and short turnaround shots. The pair combined for 27 points in the first twenty minutes. The Wolverines ended the year with a 7-20 record, 1-17 in the Big Ten. Indiana finished up at 16-12, 11-7 in league play. Abram high scorer the Kean Eye By Tom Keaney MSU downs Lakers for CCHA title, 5-1 name game... . from Cookie to The Rock P NEWS ITEM: "Van Lingle Mungo, a former Brooklyn Dodger and New York Giant who was one of the top pitchers in baseball during the 1930's, died in his hometown of Pageland, S.C. He was 73." Was I the only person to note and grieve the loss of one of the greatest gifts sports has ever given us? Forget the fact that his playing days were over almost 50 years ago. Forget the fact that Mungo's name doesn't appear in any of the record books anywhere. Van Lingle Mungo in my mind is the representative of one of the greatest sideshows in sports, the sports name. Sports names have always been a fascination for me. At least as important as height and weight on a roster is how an athlete's label rolls off the tongue. If Georgetown wins the NCAA basketball championship this year, the cham- pionship will be tainted by the fact that they have no great names. It is with great pride and satisfaction, however, that I report that Michigan has no shortage of truly unique, compelling names. Here's a list of my favorites, in no particular order. Jonnie Terry (field hockey) - The senior goaltender has been one of the few bright spots for the beleaguered field hockey team for the past few years. Terry makes the list for two reasons: 1) anyone with two first names is an automatic as is 2) any female with a male first name, or vice versa. Cookie Henry (women's basketball) - Just your average great nickname, but anyone whose nickname appears without their real name on a statistic sheet (a la Spud Webb) is OK by me. Henry, incidentally has done a good job as a junior walk-on. Mile DerGarabedian (wrestling) - Besides the fact that no one in the world has any idea which syllables get the stress, I love any name with more than one capital letter. I used to live in Guam, where 20 percent of the population goes by the surname LeonGuerrero. I love it. Garland Rivers (football) - The defensive back probably has the best sports name on campus. It's not flashy or particularly eye-catching, but like another favorite, Rowland Office of the Atlanta Braves, it's a name you love to hear. River's appearance on the list is bolstered by the names of the players who preceded him at that position: Marion Body and John Lott. Triando Markrav (football) - Wide receivers are almost in a class by themselves: Stanley Shakespeare, Al Toon and Alonzo Highsmith to name a few. Antoine Joubert (basketball) - You could conceivably put the entire basketball team on this list, which is why I feel Michigan deserves the national championship over the no-name teams. As for Joubert, great name, great ball player, what more can you say? Leslie Rockymore (basketball) - I'm really looking forward to tour- nament time on ESPN, when we can here Dick Vitale come up with such gems as "The Rock tickling the twine with the 20-foot 'J'." Gerard Rudy (basketball) - The senior who has been sidelined for much of the year with a leg injury makes the list with (again) two first names. Gary Grant calls him "Rudy Gerard." Mark Chiamp (ice hockey) - When you have a name like Chiamp and you wear a "1" on your jersey, you had better be good. Fortunately for the Wolverines, Chiamp is very good. The 5-6 graduating goaltender will be sorely missed. Charles DeGlopper (basketball) - One of the most unlikely basketball names belongs to one of the most unlikely basketball players. As a walk-on this season, DeGlopper has seen, well, limited playing time. Just try to con- vince me that the people who yell "DeGlopper, DeGlopper" at the end of blowouts aren't doing it partially because of the name. Bo Schembechler (football coach) - How many people know that Bo's fir- st name is Glenn, or that his wife's name is Millie? At least part of his fame and reputation comes from the name. In case you're worried about the future of Michigan sports names, relax and take a look at the recruiting class for next year. With such names as J.P. Oosterbaan and Billy Butts (basketball); J.J. Grant, Demitrius Brown and Sean LaFountaine (football) the future seems to be in good hands. By CHRIS GERBASI Special to the Daily The Red Wings play there, the Pistons play there, but nobody dominates at Joe Louis Arena as well as Michigan State's hockey team. The Spartans defeated Lake Superior State, 5-1, for the CCHA playoff cham- pionship and their 14th straight victory at the arena. The game capped another successful tournament at JLA. The finale attracted a CCHA record crowd of 20,067. MICHIGAN State jumped out in front early with two goals within 35 seconds. Left wing Dale Krentz scored at 6:53 on the power play, taking a pass from Tom Anastos who had justed stepped out of the penalty box himself. Krentz fired a shot from just outside the right circle past Laker goalie Randy Exelby. ~Before the cheering from a partisan MSU crowed died down, defenseman Dan McFall rifled another slap shot past Exelby at 7:28. Exelby was screened by heavy traffic out in front on each goal. The Spartans had several other scoring opportunities. But Foster set- tled down and was equal to the task. Foster turned away 10 shots, and his defense rarely allowed rebound oppor- tunities. Foster was named tournament Most Valuable Player. "It was a good weekend for the whole team," said Foster. "I had a good defense in front of me, the wingers were picking up their wings and that made my job easier. Without them, I don't think I could be here." The Spartans broke through at 12:13 of the period, scoring two more quick goals within 1:15. Anastos scored the first goal, and assists were credited to Craig Simpson and Lyle Phair, but an assist should have been awarded to Laker defenseman Chris Dahlquist. Dahlquist nonchalantly went after a loose puck, and overskated it. Anastos picked up the puck at the Laker's blue line, deked Chris Guy and backhanded a shot under Exelby's legs. "I think Tom Anasto's goal broke out back," said LSSC coach Frank An- zalone. "I thought we played very even, but they blitzed us. They're two or three players better than us, let's admit that right now and get it over with."

But when they did test Foster, he was somewhat shakey, bobbling a couple of shots. LATE IN THE period, MSU's Jeff Parker took a pass at center ice from Mike Donnelly and skated down the right side unmolested. Parker thought about passing the puck to Donnelly, changed his mind and instead blistered a 40-foot shot which Exelby could not handle. "We had good opportunities and put them away," said MSU coach Ron Mason. "Those two goals really took the pressure off of us."

Sulliman, who scored only six goals in 67 games for Har- tford last season, picked up Greg Adams' rebound and beat Detroit netminder Greg Stefan with a 25-foot wrist shot to put the Devils ahead to stay. JAN LUDVIG, Jim Higgins and Adams added goals for New Jersey late in the final period before Detroit's Joe Kocur closed out the scoring with his first NHL goal with 57 seconds remaining. New Jersey bounced back from 3-0 and 4-1 deficits with four second-period goals, including two on the power-play and Mel Bridgman's third short-handed tally of the season. , A ' ' S 2 ' s ff4 9E'.1 (!. .
