starters fresh. It didn't take long for
acting coach Phil Saunders and the
rest of the Gophers to realize the
Wolverines would control the flow of
the game.
"FOR THE first three or four
minutes we did pretty well," said
Saunders, substituting for head coach
Jimmy Williams, whose mother died
Tuesday. "But our freshmen starting
taking some bad shots and they just
started to run away with it."
Michigan literally did "run away
with it," running the fast break as
well as it has all season. - The
refreshing part from Frieder and the
Wolverines' standpoint, however, was
a newfound effectiveness in the half-
court game, spearheaded by Tarpley.
The 6-11 center, who has been stifled
by Shasky in the previous meetings,
showed the Wolverine faithful a new
weapon he has developed. Where he
had been forcing bad shots before,
Tarpley was very effective in working
the ball back to his guards for the easy
shot.
"IT WAS just a matter of adjust-
ment, " said Tarpley. It's key to our
offense that I be able to put the ball
back out like that."
"It makes it a lot easier for us to get
stuff open inside if he does that," said
Wolverine guard Antoine Jo
"We can penetrate, put the ba
and then work the ball back in
the easy shot."
While there was a good deal
going on last night, there w

The Wolverines sunk the Gophers'

over the Gopher "Iron Five." John
Shasky, Minnesota's 7-0 center who

meeting, scored only 10 points and

Wolverines hot..
...deserve a cold one
G RAB A COLD one, Wolverines. Naah, make that a couple. Party
hard. After your 17-point comeback on Saturday and a devastating
36-point victory last night, you guys deserve it.
What's that? You've got a tough one coming up Saturday against Iowa.
So what? The way you all work, you shouldn't worry.
Against Illinois in Champaign, this Michigan team showed what
aggressiveness really means. When a packed house and the Illini players
thought you had folded, the team responded with tenacious defense, found
themselves, and constructed a four-point lead before a couple of mental
lapses blew the game.
Big deal. A couple of errors. That's diddly squat. You know it.
Everybody knows it. The important thing is that you guys proved it last
night, with a 92-56 decimation of a depleted Minnesota team.
"I wish they (the Gophers) would hve had a full squad," Robert Hen-
derson said. "Then maybe it would hve been more of a wholesome victory
for us."
Wholesome? C'mon Rob. Don't give me this wholesome stuff. When you
shoot, rebound, and bust your butts the way the Wolverines did lat night,
the quality of the opponent means little.
What really matters is Michigan's execution. What's that? If North
Carolina were out there, the Wolverines wouldn't have been able to play
so well? Maybe. But Dallas is far away, so Dean Smith isn't around, for a
while anyway.
Look at it this way. You guys, despite a win at Purdue and the hear-
tbreaking loss at Illinois, suffered through some tactical problems during
the last three games, especially under the boards. Perhaps the problems
won't go away, but when you outrebound a team, 43-25, and yield only 10
points and one carom to seven-footer John Shasky, you've temporarily
pounded that problem into the ground.
Huh? The team's shooting needs to improve? Of course, but the only
way to rectify that problem is to shoot, and shoot and shooit that little
leather sphere until you ucan't shoot anymore.
Rich, you poured in seven of 10 from the field, and pulled down six
boards. Yeah, we all caught the slam, when you sailed above your crim-
son opponents after Butch missed. We also caught the botched slam. That
was garbage time, Rellford. You were stiff. It's meaningless. The offense
was there.
So what's the deal? You nailed seven of nine from the floor and tied
your career-high 14 points, Garde. No problem there. People were saying
you wouldn't play, that your moderatley sprained ankle needed rest. I
don't know, Thompson. You looked like you were ready to party. Yeah,
double-fisted 12-ounce curls.
How 'bout you, Butch, Admit it. You neutralized Shasky by fronting,
muscling and just maybe outhustling him throughout the game. I now,
you had help. Roy and the boys sagged from the weak side when Shasky
got the ball or Marc Wilson (15 pts., six assists) penetrated. Your work
ethic busted the Gophers, Wade, and you tossed in nine with six rebounds.
Don't lose sleep.
But Roy, the coach told you to get some rest. That's an idea, con-
sidering Iowa will probably wear the team down. Still,.21 points on seven-
of-ten from the field isn't shabby, Tarp.
"The key to Roy is he's just kicking the ball outside," coach Frieder
said. "He's not putting the ball on the floor for those people to take it when
they collapse on him, and it's opening everything up for him." So open a
frosty one, Roy.
You too, Antoine. You showed people that a mental error one day
means nothing the next. "At halftime (in Illinois) we knew we were being
outhustled," you say. "We said 'Damn, we're better than this!" And you
showed why against Minnesota.
This Bud's for you, Michigan. Enjoy it.

Tumblers, WMU
By GREG MOLZON
After starting the season with three
straight losses, the men's gymnastics
team will be looking to rope its sixth
consecutive victory tonight at Crisler
Arena against Western Michigan.
The Wolverines have been im-
proving every week and are coming
off their highest score of the year, last
weekend's 264.2, which was good
enough to edge out Michigan State.
Although the Broncos haven't been
scoring in that range, Michigan coach
Bob Darden doesn't expect an easy
win.
"WESTERN HAS been turning in
scores in the mid-250 mark, but
there's that old rule of thumb that you
compete to the level of your com-
petition," Darden said. "So we're
looking for a real strong meet against
Western. It'll take a more concerted
effort from our team to beat them."
Darden is looking to Gavin
Meyerowitz to lead that effort. Com-
peting in the final home meet of his
career, the senior from South Africa
should excel on the pommel horse and
still rings.
Darden said, "He's been a real
steady performer and we're looking
for him to go gangbusters and con-
tinue his super performances."
In order for the team to continue to
improve on its previous scores, stan-
douts Scott Moore, Mitch Rose and
Brock Orwig will also have to come up
with strong showings.
The starting time for tonight's final
home meet of the year has been
changed to 8:30 p.m.

With top performers Angela

on to their teammates, some of whom do
not have their routines up to com-

"We're looking to hit six out of six

For the women's basketball team, a
season once slated for success is now
in jeopardy.
After the Wolverines turned in some
surprising early season victories,
coach Bud Van De Wege was pleased
with the poise and desire his
relatively young squad possessed.
However, reality has recently made a
sudden appearance.
The Wolverines have dropped their
last two contests. First Purdue
defeated Michigan at Crisler Arena, a
loss which left Van De Wege "very
disappointed." The second-year
coach claimed the Boilermakers
"wanted it more than his squad." The
Wolverines' 42 percent shooting
probably had something to do with the
loss as well.
In Michigan's last game, a 21-point
loss at home to Illinois, scapegoat
status was shifted to the officials. Van
De Wege called their work "an em-
barrasment to the league."
Now nothing gets any easier for the
Wolverines. They must go on the road
to face Iowa tomorrow and Minnesota
Sunday. The Gophers are buried near
the bottom of the Big Ten standings,g
