MICHIGAN, meanwhile, had rediscovered its offensive pattern. Two free throws by Robert Henderson, layups by Tarpley and Joubert, a Joubert charity toss and a breakaway dunk by Tarpley put Michigan up 55-43 with 1:47 left. Henderson was especially instrumen- tal in the comeback, taking a crucial charge and scoring six of his ten points in the second half. "He came and got some unexpected rebounds," said Wilson. "We were worried about Tarpley and Wade and he surprised us." THE KNIGHTS, however, had one surprise left for the Wolverines. Tar- pley's dunk, and a subsequent missed jam by Gary Grant, gave Fairleigh Dickinson two points on foul shots. Though their fourth starter fouled out with a minute and a half left, the Knights pulled back to within two, 57-55, with ten seconds left before Tarpley iced the victory with two free throws. "We got a little sloppy down the stretch," said Wolverine coach Bill Frieder. "That's the sign of a young team that hasn't been in this situation for a long time.'' The situation midway through the second half looked anything but promising for Michigan. According to Hampton, the Knights could see defeat in the Wolverines' faces. "They looked like they were ready to give up," said FDU's leading. scorer, who finished with ten points. "I looked at Joubert, and he was exhausted, almost ready to fall down. I thought we had them." Tarpley, who led all scorers with 15, said it wasn't quite that bad: "I was a little worried, but I had confidence in the team and the coaches that we could come back and win, becaue that's the waywe play." The way they played in the first half was atrocious. The Wolverines hit eight of 26 from the floor, not quite 31 per- cent, and featured such lowlights as Joubert's zero for five shooting, Tar- pley's one for five and Rockymore and Garde Thompson's combined zero for four. The win puts Michigan's record at 26- 6 and sends it into tomorrow's second round game here against Villanova at 12:11 p.m. "We'll take it," Frieder said. "I hope we'll play a little harder, a little stronger on Sunday." 4 Fairleigh pathetic FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON Min FG/A FT/A R A PF Pts MICHGIAN Min GF/A FT/A R A PF Pts Riddick ....... .Hampton ......

(AP) - Larry Holmes knocked~down David Bey twice in the eighth round and then stopped. him in at 2:58 of the 10th round last night to retain the International Boxing Federation heavyweight title in what may have been Holme's last fight. Holmes had Bey reeling from a series of head shots when referee Carls Padilla jumped in and stopped the bout. The victory was Holmes' 47th against no defeats, and he could join Rocky Marciano as the only heavyweight champions to retire without having lost a fight. Holmes has said he probably will an- nounce his retirement June 9 but has held open the possibility of another fight. June 9 woUld be the seventh an- niversary of his winning the World Boxing Council title he relinquished in December 1983. "' This is it' means I'll retire if I don't get an offer from Michael Spinks by the end of April," Holmes said.

SOUTHEAST REGIONAL: EAST REGIONAL: T erps edge Miami Illini rip Northeaster 4 By JEFF BERGIDA AND TIM MAKINEN Special to the Daily DAYTON, Ohio-Maryland coach Lefty Driesell and his players may have felt that Miami of Ohio, the second-place team in the Mid- America Conference, would be a break after a rugged ACC campaign. The Terrapins, who had one of the nation's toughest schedules were favored to cruise through this first-round NCAA contest. But the scrappy Redskins, urged on by a heavily partisan crowd at the University of Dayton Arena, gave Driesell and crew more than they wan- ted to handle.
