By ADAM MARTIN
By most accounts, Youngstown
State won the psychological battle
Wednesday night, even after the
Michigan basketball team sent the
Penguins home with a 56-42 defeat.
The psychology game will continue
tomorrow when Florida Southern
comes to Ann Arbor (Crisler Arena, 2
p.m.). George Scholz' 1-1 Moccasins,
ranked eighth in Sports Illustrated's
Division II poll, may already be
psyched out of a victory, despite their
playing the number two team in the
nation.
"WE MAY NOT even show up for the
game," said a half-joking Scholz.
"We might just blow in a
snowstorm."
Scholz is afraid his club will get
snowed, or better, swallowed by the

powerful Wolverines, and he is not
afraid to say so. In fact, yesterday
Scholz was groping for answers.
When asked if he'd quicken the pace
to combat Michigan's height advan-
tage, Scholz said, "I don't know how
you can run by a Gary Grant and An-
toine Joubert, I don't think anybody
can do it."
WHEN ASKED how he might
neutralize Michigan's big men, Scholz
added, "I haven't the faintest idea."
Despite the uncertainties, Roy Tar-
pley, Butch Wade, and Rich Rellford
can be neutralized, or at least slowed
down, as evidenced by Youngstown
State's rebounding edge and intense
defense.
Scholz said he would probably use a
zone defense to stop the Wolverines,
but stopping Michigan may not be
possible.

We Reserve the Right to Limit

WEDNESDAY'S CONTEST showed the
lesser teams can't be taken lightly,
but Florida Southern's severe height
problems will let Michigan rest a lit-
tle easier. Only one Moccasin poten-
tial starter, freshman Kris Kearney,
is taller than 6-6, and he may not even
start. The rest - center Ted Kennedy
(6-6), forward John McNulty (6-6),
and guards Bob Gyori (6-4) and Jerry
Johnson (5-11) - average 6-3, so
Florida will give away points to a size
disadvantage even before the opening
tip.
Most important, Southern will be
hampered by the absence of last
season's Moccasin Most Valuable
Player, 6-5 forward Glenn Hanson.
The Muskatine (Iowa) Junior College
transfer broke his wrist during an
early practice and has yet to play this
season. Hanson led the team in
rebounding and was second in scoring
as a junior, and is expected back in i
two weeks. The Moccasins also lost a
6-10 transfer student at the end of last
year.
But according to Michigan coach
Bill Frieder, an upset is always a
possibility, especially when the
psychology of the two teams'
rankings is considered.
"YOU THINK you're gonna win these
(easier) games, but you don't know,"
Frieder said. "If you give a team an
idea that you'll beat 'em, they might
play really hard and beat you. You
never know."
Scholz, however, won't even think
"upset" - at least, not in the game.
"The only thing that may get up-
set," said Scholz, "is my stomach,
from playing Michigan and Bill
Frieder."
Scholz' levity is a response to the
gargantuan task he faces. With a
height disadvantage, Florida
Southern will probably, rely on the
outside shot. "We better have good
perimeter shooting against a team
like Michigan," Scholz said, "or I
don't know what'll happen."
What won't happen according to
Frieder, is Michigan getting out-
rebounded again by a smaller,
weaker. team. "We were out-
rebounded (40-31 vs. Youngstown
State) and that really upset me," he
said. "We've got to be productive on
Saturday and get second and third ef-
forts."
Gyori, a senior co-captain
averaging 11 ppg, and Johnson (13.5
ppg) will most likely provide
Florida's punch from the perimeter,
while Kearney (11.5 ppg) and Mc-
Nulty (8.5 ppg) work inside.
