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."

Pure exhausting took over the Gopher "Iron Five." John Shasky, Minnesota's 7-0 center who ate Michigan alive in the earlier meeting, scored only 10 points and grabbed just one rebound. Meanwhile, the Wolverine reserves delighted a rejuvenated Michigan crowd by scoring the team's last 13 points. Steve Stoyko gave Michigan ts biggest lead of the game, 90-52, canning a 12-foot jumper. The Wolverines will try to keep the same intensity through Saturday when they will face the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Tarpley ... slams home 21 it c, s; w ffartn Tbrantre By Adam Martin 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. Women tumblers nurse wounds As the women's gymnastics team prepares to do battle tonight at Crisler Arena against Iowa State, it also faces PERSONALIZED AND DISTINCTIVE I SERVING YOU: 0 JERRY " LARRY " DAVE TUES-THURS MON & WED FRI-SAT 8:30 TO 8:00 8:00 TO 5:30 WE WANT TO THANK ALl OUR LO CUSTOMERS OVER THE LAST 14 BECAUSE CUSTOMER SATISFACTI (BETWEEN HILL AND PACKA e44 5o" BARBERS & STYLISTS HAIR STYLING FOR THE ACTIVE PROFESSIONAL 'MENe WOMEN "CHILDREN APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE YAL $ m EARS 8 8 8 6 ON IS#1 806S.

Box 7002 Rockford, IL 61125-7002 destiny 4 By LIAM FLAHERTY 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.
