When we got the lead the second time, everything we did seemed to be right and everything they did just seemed to go the wrong way." Michigan pulled out quickly in the fir- st half, jumping to 23-14 lead nine minutes into the contest before it suf- fered a defensive breakdown, allowing Minnesota to make a 14-4 run and take a 28-27 advantage. Gopher center John Shasky sparked the comeback with six "IT WAS fun out there," said Michigan guard Antoine Joubert, whose 17 points topped the Michigan scoring attack and whose defense held Minnesota's scoring machine Tommy Davis to a mere five points. "Everything went for us. It was nice too, because everyone got a chance to play." And all of the Wolverines scored as well, as reserve guard Ron Gibas picked up his first points of the year on a second half buzzer shot that sent the Crisler Arena fans, as well as the Michigan bench, into a frenzy. Michigan hit a sparkling 54.5 percent from the floor during the first half, and then got even hotter in the second half, making 69.6 percent of its field goals. OVERALL, each of the Michigan starters scored in double figures, with center Roy Tarpley following up Joubert's 17 points with 16 of his own, while forward Rich Rellford hit for 14 and Butch Wade and Gary Grant had 12 each. Second half outburst buries Minnesota Wade was also a dominating force under the hoop for Michigan pulling down 13 rebounds. In all, Michigan out- boarded the Gophers, 39-29. "A lot of those rebounds just came my way," said Wade. "I just had to reach up and grab them." MINNESOTA, meanwhile, struggled on the floor, hitting only 43.3 percent of its shots in the first half and then sinking a mere 32.3 percent after the in- termission. Shasky, a junior out of Birmingham Brother Rice, put up 13 points for the Gophers in the first half, but was then held to five in the second half. Michigan was also successful at shutting down the hot Minnesota guard tandem of Davis and freshman Todd Alexander, who scored just four. "We made one run from when we went from nine down to one ahead," said Minnesota head coach Jim Dut- cher, a former Michigan assistant. "Then the game really got away from us." To start the second half, the Gophers were able to score only a single point in the first four minutes on a Davis free throw, while the Wolverines ran off nine points and expanded their lead to 21, 52- 31. "And it was pretty well over then," said Dutcher. 97 to what? MINNESOTA MinFG/A FT/A Smith..............30 2/10 0/0 BIG TEN STANDINGS Joubert ...holds court points.

No play, no Paul: Jokiseli quits hoops By PAUL HELGREN Paul Jokisch has left the basketball team in order to train full time for foot- ball. Jokisch, a 6-7 wide receiver, had rejoined the basketball team at the end of the football season. He had been on Bill Frieder's team since the Tennessee game on December 29, but did not see any action through five contests. "I JUST couldn't see devoting all that time and effort for two or three minutes of playing time," Jokisch said yester- day. Frieder said Jokisch's decision was made by mutual agreement. "Three weeks ago we talked and said if he wasn't integrated into the team in three weeks he should devote himself to training for football," Frieder said. "I came to him last week and suggested he concentrate on football." Jokisch, a junior, played basketball his first two years at Michigan before switching to the grid. A high school All- American at Birmingham Brother Rice in both football and basketball, Jokisch caught 10 passes and scored two touch- downs this past season. He has two years of football eligibility remaining. Frieder did not rule out a return by Jokisch to the basketball team, if cir- cumstances warrant it. "If we get a couple of injuries and get thin down the line, we could bring him back. You never know.'

BIG TEN ROUNDUP: Hawkeyes EAST LANSING (AP) - Greg Stokes scored 27 points to lead Iowa to a 79-65 victory over 19th ranked Michigan State last night in Big Ten college basketball. The Hawkeyes,3-1 in the Big Ten and 14-3 overall, led all the way. But it was an eight-point burst - six by forward Al Lorenzen - that gave the Hawkeyes a 48-35 lead with 10:59 left in the second half and put the game away. THE HAWKEYES hit on 23 of 27 free throws in the second half to keep Michigan State at bay. Lorenzen, who finished with 15 points, was nine of 10 from the line in that span. The loss, Michigan State's second straight after falling to Illinois on Saturday, drops the Spartans to 3-2 and 6)_Qi blast MSU scored 22 points, including 14 in the second half, last night as the 13th ranked Fighting Illini came back from a two-point halftime deficit to beat Wisconsin 78-67. The Badgers are 10-4 and 1-3 in the Big Ten and were led by Scott Roth with 31 points. Rick Olson chipped in 12 for Wisconsin. LAST YEAR'S Big Ten MVP Bruce Douglas added 16 for Illinois, which is 14-4 on the season and 3-2 in conference play while Anthony Welch scored 14. The first half was a see-saw affair which resulted in six ties. Winters scored eight of Illinois' first 10 points as Illinois opened up an early 24-18 lead. But the 6-foot-8 Roth, a senior for- ward, brought the Badgers back. By JIM GINDIN Four swimmers raced to wins in season-best times as Michigan suprised Oakland University with a 90-50 victory last night in Matt Mann Pool. "They gave us some very close races," said coach Peter Lindsay. "We swam a little better than average and they swam a little worse than average." THE VICTORY was the women's swim team's first of the season and avenged a 72-70 loss at Oakland last season. The 200-medley relay team led off the meet with a win in 1:55.80. "We had Cecilia (Sheehan) swim the second leg instead of Melinda (Copp) and we moved freshman DeeLynn Overmyer into the second half of the race," said Lindsay. "They weren't necessarily our fastest individual swimmers, but the combination worked." Freshman Christi Vedejs won the 100- yard breaststroke in 1:06.69 and the 100 freestyle in 55.27. Her time in the breast stroke was a personal best. CHRISTINE MaceMaster, also a Leigh Ann Grabovez grabbed first in the one-meter event and senior Angie Poretta scored a season-high 267,60 points in winning the three-meter diving. Copp, a senior, rounded out the Wolverine victors by winning the 100 backstroke and the 200 breaststroke.
