Sharp Purdue Defense
One of the things that slowed
Michigan down some-at the start
was the great speed of the Boiler-
maker defenders. They made it
4~ very hard for the Wolverines to
get away a good shot, and were
continually batting the ball. As
Purdue tired, Michigan started to
roll.

By DAVE RORABACHER
The valiant Wolverine grapplers,
weakened by injuries and ineligi-
bilities fell from their lofty heights
with a resounding crash last Sat-
urday.
The crushing 28-5 defeat suffer-
ed at the hands of Pittsburgh in
the initial dual meet of the sea-
son, left fans disheartened as to
the prospects for the coming year.
Zervas' Loss Felt
In the heavier weight classes,
the loss of heavyweight Steve
Zervas was sorely felt.
To fill the gap newcomer Cal
Atwood was inserted at 167
pounds, moving John McMahon to
177 and Jack Marchello to fill the
vacated heavyweight position.
The switch cost the Maize and
Blue dearly, with McMahon's 1-1
tie the only point gainer.
Most unexpected by the majority
of Michigan followers was the
narrow 4-3 decision which Mike
Rodriguez lost to Pitt's Dave John-
son. Johnson, however, has been
one of the nemeses of Rodriguez'
college career.
In the Wilkes-Barre meet of a
year ago it was the same Johnson
that kept the Maize and Blue cap-
tain from winning the 157 pound
title. And in the same tournament
this season, the result was another

close decision with Rodriguez
emerging the victor, 4-2.
Thus the adverse result was not
altogether a great surprise.
In looking for the decisive facts
behind the match it must be noted
that the so-called "sand-bagging"
tactics--i.e. waiting for the other
wrestler to make the first move
and then closing in with a swift
counter-move-were used to full
effectiveness by the Panther star.
John Heald's failure to make
the 147 pound division automati-
cally caused the Wolverines to
forfeit five points.
The losses of Jack Porter at 123
and Bill Jurgens at 130 came as
no surprise as their opponents are
Eastern Intercollegiate champs.
Looking ahead to next semester
the scene brightens. Besides Zer-
vas, the returns of Max Pearson,
Dan Deppe and Tom Krause, all
veterans, are anticipated.

Iowa 88, Ohio State 73
COLUMBUS, Ohio-Iowa snap-
ped out of a four-game losing
streak and defeated seventh-rank-
ed Ohio State 88-73 in a Big Ten
basketball game, despite All-Am-
erican Robin Freeman's 37-point
scoring splurge.
For Iowa's Hawkeyes, defending
Big Ten champions, it was the
first conference victory of the sea-
son. The Hawkeyes were edged 65-
64 by Michigan State Saturday in
their conference opener.
Iowa took the lead, 8-6, in the
first quarter and held it, although
it squandered a 13-point lead in
the first half as Ohio State came
back to trail by only 38-34 at the
half. Ohio State went without a
field goal for nine minutes at one
point in the first half.

Minnesota 77, Indiana 71
MINNEAPOLIS-Minnesota de-
moralized Indiana with a superb-
ly controlled zone defense that
brought the Gophers a 77-71 up-
set victory over the Hoosiers.
The loss was Indiana's first in
the Big Ten against two victories.
The Gophers, who out-rebound-
ed the Hoosiers two t'o one, took
command midway through the
second half after holding a 41-40
nmargin at intermission.
The lead switched hands eight
times in the first half before Jed
Dommeyer, Jerry Kindall, Maury
Demarais and Buck Lindsley led
a Minnesota drive in the second
half that produced a 68-57 lead.
