A Purdue fan drew Frieder into a serious shouting match as the Wolverine coach ascended the steps of Mackey Arena to his usual post-game radio interview. "He started calling me every name in the book, so I retaliated a little," said Frieder, who had apparently turned to punctuate his own list physically before Michigan's sports information director stepped in, reminding the coach of his prior commitment. Michigan's players had a similar experience in the first 40 minutes of Saturday's overtime loss to Illinois. In the first half, the Illini hurled a few choice insults Michigan's way. Their dominance of the nationally- televised game called the Wolverines "overrated." Illinois' double-figure lead throughout the period and 20-7 rebounding edge taunted Michigan with the label "physically inferior." Illinois guard Tony Wysinger, whose play in over- time eventually gave the Illini the last word, said he was ready to call the Wolverines "losers." "They weren't pressing us much in the first half, and I think (the second half) kind of surprised us because we thought they had folded," said Wysinger. Michigan's comeback in regulation proved Wysinger wrong and proved the Wolverines worthy of some other names. Call the whole team courageous for regrouping like it did after intermission to make up a 13-point deficit. More importantly, call Michigan vastly improved mentally. Down by similar margins against Minnesota and Michigan State, the Wolverines lost all semblance of composure. In Saturday's second half, they were cool, tightening up defensively and running their half-court offense as effectively as they have in weeks. That mental discipline cracked only twice: unfor- tunately for Michigan both times were in the last 45 seconds of regulation. So call Gary Grant and Antoine Joubert human. The Wolverines' top two scorers on the day, they both made essential contributions. What stands out, however, is - Name calling ... .. Illini get final say that each unnecessarily rushed a crucial shot because they didn't know they had time. Everybody makes mistakes. Grant and Joubert were untimely ones, but they probably won't make the same ones again. Speaking of repetition, call Roy Tarpley's a valiant effort on both ends. The refs called his fourth foul early in the second half (again), but Tarpley still slowed Efrem Winters, scored well (again) and came up (again) with a key block, this time to keep the game in reach during the overtime. On the lighter side, call Frieder an up-and-coming- comic, due to his performance after Saturday's game. Somebody asked him if the comeback was the best he'd ever coached. "I had a sixth grade team once," Frieder deadpan- ned. "We were behind 39-6. We went to a zone. Beat 'em 41-39. Scored 35 straight points. My daughter scored 18." Maybe you had to be there. Speaking of comics (as in Marvel), call Illinois for- ward Ken Norman the most imposing, intimidating- looking figure in the conference. With a shaved head and muscle to spare, the 6-8, allegedly only 215-pound Norman looks like he should be playing in a cape and leotards with a big "I" on the chest. "Look! Over the rim. It's a bird..." While we're on the subject, shouldn't Michigan's third forward off the bench be called Steve "The Stork" Stoyko? It just seems to fit. But what to call Robert Henderson? The 6-9 senior has proved again Saturday that he deserves a nickname more interesting than "Michigan's sixth man" or "the guy who wears white sneakers." Henderson substituted for both Tarpley and Butch Wade, hitting all his field goals and three of four free throws for 11 points. He also grabbed a couple big rebounds while doing the defensive job on Norman.

A Wysinger jumper exten- ded the edge to 17 with 16 minutes left in the contest. Michigan then intensified its defen- sive pressure and chopped Illinois' lead to nine, courtesy of four con- secutive buckets from Grant. A JOUBERT five-foot baseline pop cut it to 54-49, and after five minutes of offense from Henderson, forward Rich Rellford, and center Roy Tar- pley, the Wolverines had erased Illinois' advantage and taken a 61-60 lead. Tarpley (18 points, five rebounds) was instrumental for the lifesaving Wolverines, sinking several baskets from outside and muscling under- neath when Michigan needed brawn. Surprisingly, Tarpley did his best work while in foul trouble. One minute into the second half, the officials whistled Tarpley for his fourth foul with Michigan down by 11. The Detroit Cooley graduate then poured in 10 second-half points and came up with a critical block in overtime that brought Michigan within two. BUT NEITHER Tarpley nor any other Michigan big man was able to stop Winters or 6-8, 215 pound forward Ken Norman, who pumped in 22 poin- ts in the full 45 minutes. Winters' 84 percent shooting (10 of 12) stung the Wolverines throughout the game, and along with Norman supported the collapsing Illini in the second half. Michigan's starting guards coun- teracted their mistakesgwitha com- bined 39 points, seven assists, and five rebounds. But Grant's and Joubert's contributions became blurred as the final minute of regulation faded into frustration.

LIMITED DELIVERY AREA U By JON HARTMANN Odor on the court! Methinks me smells something most foul! Such is the lament of the women's basketball team, which lost its case to Illinois yesterday, 85-64, by the ver- dict of two zebra-striped jurors whose integrity was often called into question by the beleagured Maize 'n' Blue defendants. "IT WAS a disgrace!" moaned Michigan boss Bud Van De Wege, the recipient of a double technical foul. "It was an embarrasment to the league - the worst-officiated game I've ever sat through." The evidence? Under the guidance of sharpshooter Lorea Feldman (nine -of-12 from the floor) and backup cen- ter Sharon Sonntag (12 points), Michigan unveiled a 30-for-64 field- goal effort, shouting down Illinois' 29- for-61 Exhibit A. The most serious injustice prevailed at the center position. Illinois' 6-3 Jenelle Polk hit 12-of-15 free throws while picking up one foul during her breathtaking 30-point per- formance. MICHIGAN'S three rotating cen- ters, however, were the victims of 12 whistles. Sonntag was only called for two, but starting center Sandy Svoboda fouled out with 8:26 left. Rookie Val Hall picked up her fifth foul after only 12 minutes on the floor, with 11:25 left. 0 "That 12 to one foul ratio for the centers is the most ridiculous thing I can ever imagine!" commented Van De Wege. While many of the calls were questionable, primary victim Hall said that much of Illinois' violence received no punishment. "THERE WERE a lot of moving screens and blocks that they (the refs) just wouldn't look at," she said. "It makes you tentative. On the play where I fouled out, she (Polk) grab- bed at my arm. I knew I'd get called the way it was going." Despite the negative factors, which Van De Wege said "really took away our confidence... (and) took us out of our game," Michigan's case may not be as hopeless as the final score made it seem. Michigan achieved a 31-31 halftime tie, despite taking only two free THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO BECOMING A NURSE IN THE ARMY And they're both repre- sented by the insignia you wear as a member of the Army Nurse
