Thus, the sixth-ranked Wolver- ines (6-1) did not afford the Cougars the same attention as they did to the Blue Devils. It was only after the thrilling win over Duke on Saturday that Michigan gave the 1-6 team any consideration. The main task at hand for Michigan was not playing down to the level of Chicago State. Despite playing without Rumeal Robinson, whose turf-toe injury suffered in the first half against Duke prevented him from playing, Mich- igan continued to exhibit the solid play it has shown since the Iowa State victory with an 84-57 win. With victory an almost foregone conclusion, Michigan coach Steve Fisher set three goals for his squad: to limit the Cougars to five offen- sive rebounds, to hold them under 55 points, and to keep their shooting percentage under 40 percent. The squad managed to accomplish only one of those objectives as the Cougars shot 30.9 percent from the field (21-68). In addition, the overmatched Cougars pulled down 16 offensive rebounds, six in the first half. As in the game against Central Michigan, the fans were waiting for Michigan to blow the game open. The magic number last night was 9:47. With the score 22-19 in the Wolverines favor, Michigan went on a 25-5 run to make the score 47-24 at halftime. Junior guard Demetrius Calip, starting for the first time in his career, and Sean Higgins led Michigan with 11 points in the first half. Loy Vaught and Terry Mills each scored eight in the opening half, with Mills amassing eight of his game-high 12 rebounds. Fisher, who was somewhat disap- pointed with the second team, which was outscored 28-11 in the final 9:55, was pleased with the play of the first unit, particularly Higgins. "Higgins finds ways to get the basketball. Even though he took 11 shots in the first half, Sean Higgins had eight passes to the post. That made me feel good, we moved the ball well, got good easy shots and scored on a good number of them." Higgins, who finished with 16 points, led four Wolverines in double figures. Vaught kicked in 13 points to go with his nine rebounds. Mills added 13 and Calip finished with 11. While Fisher was disappointed with the play of his second team, Chicago State coach Tommy Suits was left flabbergasted with the play of some of his starters. "We've got some kids who can play but we just have some kids who will not do what I wanted do so I just wouldn't play them." Suitts said. "I have a ten year old. If I take his Nintendo away, he will do anything I ask him for two days, These guys the only thing I have to take from them is playing time." Michigan first-year guards Mich- ael Talley and Tony Tolbert played 24 and 12 minutes, respectively in Robinson's absence. Fisher expects Robinson to b6 ready in time for game at Marquette on December 16. GE _. T IT! The Personal Cc MICHIGAN DAILY CLASSIFIED ADS ,olumn Is .. .

Blue to play 'Bud' Bowl I by John Niyo Daily Basketball Writer The holiday break signifies a time of relaxation and relief from pressure for most. But for women's basketball coach Bud VanDeWege and his players, who have played five games in only eleven days, the break means more games and hopefully more wins. Michigan, off to a quick 5-0 start, has been riding a wave of success to this point in the season and they will face five more non- .conference opponents before facing their Big Ten foes. The upcoming games should prove to be more of a test for the Wolverines, however. On Thurs- day, Wisconsin-Green Bay will invade Crisler arena with hopes of upset on their mind. They certain- ly are capable, as they proved in a surprising victory over Wisconsin. Next up will be Toledo, a team that finished last season with a 25- 8 record. They return seven letterwinners from that group. The calendar year will end for Michigan in Miami, Florida, where they will compete in the Orange Bowl Classic. Washing- ton, South Alabama, Pittsburgh, Cleveland State, Florida Inter- national, and Miami also grace the field. Opening round matchups are not yet known. From Miami the team will move back home to start confer- ence play. Minnesota and Iowa will be the first tests on January 5 and 7, respectively. Iowa is considered one of the nations' finest teams and are currently ranked near the top ten in the national polls. SOPHOMORES..
