Closing Spurt Upsets ii King Tallies 16 Points Strack's Long Range Shooting Turns Tide At End; Judson Gets 12 Points for i Loer, (Continued from Page 1) - - Oosterbaan's charges held a 27-25 advantage at the intermission. Illinois jumped into a quick 29-27 t edge at the outset of the second half but the potent Tom King came through again and the score was4 knotted once more. Illinois climed into the lead again on free throws by Bob Morton and' Gordon Gillespie. This time, how- ever, the Wolverines were not to be denied as they began scoring withz precision-like accuracy. Strack, King and Bill Seymour hit in rapid fire order and the Michigan quintet now enjoyed a 37-31 margin. Illini Rally Apparently this rally didn't damp- en the spirit of the fighting Illini, for they regained their composure } quickly, and by virtue of the sensa- tional play of Howie Judson, raced to a 38-37 advantage. After a basket by Bob Stevens, which put the Wol-{ verines on top 39-38, Kirk, Patrick, and Judson connected for the Orange and Blue-providing what appeared to be a comfortable lead.- It was now that the Wolverines ~ started their final rally which result- ed in eventual victory. Dave Strack,-e brought the crowd to its feet by scor- ing two beautitful baskets from far out, and Bill Seymour finally tied the score at 43-43 with a magnificently ,BB WIE!) executed overhead shot from the second b sket , w right side of the basket. Dave Strack e ha!! a again came through with a timely placed basket and Michigan was on B O top 45-43. This fine performance on B11 Leri y the part of Strack, proved conclusive- ly that he is one player who can be t Basel counted on when the chips are down. Q Michigan Clinches Victory FC Dick Shrider.
