Wisconsin Is Upset Winner Over Sparfans CHICAGO (UP> — Michigan proved tor the second' time today tiiat the best way to get ahead in the Big Ten basketball world is not to play basketball. The Wolverines took over sole possession of first place in the conference race Saturday night by remaining idle while Indiana was tripped by lowa and dropped from a share of the lead. The inactive Michigan crew was threatened again Monday night by an onrushing Michigan State five which had a chance to move in for a share of the lead by beating Wisconsin But, the Badgers’ hot sophomore crew blasted the Spartan hopes, squelching them 66-52. As a result, the Spartans were bumped into a i four-way tie for fourth place with Northwestern, Purdue arid Wisconsin. Ohio State jumped from third place to second with a 70-64 win ovr lowa in the only other game played. The standings are probably in for another fast shuffle Saturday night, when lowa plays at Minnesota and Michigan State entertains Northwestern. But Michigan, idle again, faces no threat to its leadership. The Badgers looked their sharpest of the season in toppling Michigan State after taking the lead after nine minutes of play and holding it most of the way. Guard Bunky Holt bagged 10 of the Badgers’ first dozen points and his 22 points at the end gave him game scoring honors. But the biggest factor in the victory was Wisconsin's throttling of jumping jack Johnny Green in the second half. Green. MSUs backboard ace was able io get only 10 points in the losing cause. The Buckeyes pulled ahead from a see-saw battle midway in the first half to down lowa. ' Frank Howard got 22 points for the Buckeyes to boost his per game average to 18-4 and move him up a notch into sixth place ~in~the individual scoring jjerj>y. Sophomore center Larry Swift was lowa's best pointmaker with 18 in a game that was marred •by rough play. OSU guard Jim Laughlin and Hawkeye forward George Seaberg both suffered head gashes from flying elbows.
