SUNDAY, JANUARY 28,1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE NINE SUNDAY, JANUARY 28, 1968 ThE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE NINE PuckSters Win Sixth Straight Tankers Swamp Boilermakers Special To The Daily MINNEAPOLIS - Michigan's hockey team clinched a share of the Big Ten title and moved into # fourth place in the WCHA with 7-4 victory over Minnesota last night. The win completed a sweep of the two-game set for the Wolver- ines, who also knocked off the Gophers twice in a home series two weeks ago. Michigan has now racked up six wins in a row, and its WCHA record stands at 5-3. The Wolverines had to battle from behind, as Minnesota jumped off to an early 2-0 lead on goals by Bill Klatt and Pat Dufour. 4 But before the first period had ended, markers by Jerry Hartman and Ron Ullyot had knotted the score. One Michigan drew first blood in the second frame, as sophomore Dave Lars Hansen added what proved t' be the winning marker with only 1:41 remaining in the period. The Gophers temporarily pulled within one with Scott Buchan's goal at 2:33 of the final period, but the, Wolverines roared away with two more scores to ice the victory. Six Fed by Hansen and Galbraith, senior Bruce Koviak slipped one past McLachlin at 8:18 for the sixth goal; while Galbraith capped Perrin rammed the puck past Gopher goalie Murray McLachlin at 8:26. A little over a minute later, however, Minnesota captain Gary Gambucci beat Wolverine netminder Jim Keough to tie the score for the final time in the game. Doug Galbraith got Michigan's fourth goal just 46 seconds later to break the tie, and defenseman off the Wolverine scoring with a marker at 12:14. Keough racked up 29 saves en- route to the victory, while Mc- Lachlin stopped only 17 of 24 shots by the hard-skating Wolver- 4ines. Michigan claims at least a tie for the Big Ten crown now, since the winner is determined among three teams-Michigan, Michigan State, and Minnesota. The Spartans have an outside chance to tie the Wolverines fo: the title, but they must win their last two games against Michigan as well as two with Minnesota tc do it. The Wolverines resume action next weekend with a pair of games against Minnesota, Duluth at , Bulldog's home rink. The weekend's action left fiv Wolverines in double-figures in the goal-scoring department this year. Koviak and Perrin lead the team with 14 apiece, while Mart- tila has 12, and Galbraith and Ullyot each have 10. 4 Matmen Mangle Purdue.

By BOB LEES The Michigan wrestlers, delayed at the start of their meet yester- day by the long basketball tarne, made up for lost time by walloping Purdue 38-2. The first pair of contestants took to the mats at 4:45 p.m.. and the spectators who stayed must have had visions of a late supper. But only three of the matches went the full eight-minute dist- ance, as the Wolverines racked up four pins and two forfeit victories, and by 5:40 the mats were clear. "We were quite pleased with the performance of each man out there," declared assistant coach Rick Bay. "Usually, in a meet like this, we just try to make sure we keep our edge and don't get too sloppy. But after Lou Hudson's opponent fought him to a draw, the guys began to realize that they might have under-estimated their opposition, so they went all out in their own matches." Hudson, entering the circle after 123 lbs.-Rubin (M), won by for- feit. 130 lbs.-Hudson (M) and Gage, 8-8, draw. 137 lbs.-Henson (M) dec. Gage, 12-1. 145 lbs.-Sanger (M), won by forfeit. 152 lbs.--Stehman (M) pinned Michigan had already gained five team points for a forfeit in the first match, had the lead only once and eventually drew Purdue's Dave Kern only through the help of two riding-time points. But according to Bay, "Hudson wasn't feeling up to par today, and we asked him if he'd like to sit this one out. He said he wanted to wrestle, though, and ended up learning a lot of things in the process." After Geoff Henson walloped Boilermaker Terry Zaccarino 12-1, Jim Sanger gained a forfeit victory with 0:24 remaining in his match. Sanger was ahead 9-3 at the time, but his opponent, Larry Smith, had been warned for stalling five times, which, under wrestling rules, means an automatic forfeit. "It's a shame something like that has to happen," said Bay, "and it's a rough call to have to make. But the rules are specific on this point." Folowing Sanger's match came five more Michigan victories in a Smith, 1:45. 160 ,bs.-Headrick (M) pinned Kowolski, 2:00. 167 lbs.-Hansen (M) pinned Rob- bins, "6:55. 177 lbs.-Cornell (M) dec. Spinka, 4-0. Hwt.-Porter (M) pinned Dries, 0:23. DAVE PORTER SEASON OPENER: Thinclads Sparkle at Western Relays total elapsed time of 19:03, as{ Pete Cornell's decisive 4-0 win at 177 pounids was sandwiched by four pins. Honors here fell to Lane Headrick, starting 'his first meet at 160 pounds, as well as to sen- iors Fred Stehman, Wayne Hansen, and Dave Porter at 152, 167, and heavyweight, respectively. "Headrick did a real good job today," praised Bay. "A meet like this gives us a chance to look at some of the non-regulars in actual competition, as well as giving them some valuable experience. Lane showed us that he could handle himself well." New Class Hansen, meanwhile, was wres- tling out of his accustomed 160- pound position, but this seemed to have little effect on his perform- ance, as he got his opponent, Dave Robbins, down to stay in 6:55. Stehman; not even waiting past the first period, however, pinned Larry Smith in 1:45. But then came captain Porter, who entered the circle, shook the hand of his opponent, Kim Dries, and went to work. Twenty-three seconds later, he was done. And the fans were out on time after all. SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR: DAVE WEIR By VINCE MALONEY Michigan's swimming team com- pletely overwhelmed hapless Pur- due yesterday by the score of 84 to 39. The overmatched Boilermakers just couldn't compete against the overall depth of the Wolverine squad as evidenced by the Michi- gan's 10 first in 13 events, and five 1-2 finishes. Purdue did receive a stellar per- former from Dan Milne who turn- ed in one of the three double vic- tories of the afternoon. In the 200-yard freestyle, Milne fought down to the wire for a hard-earn- ed victory over Michigan's Ken Wiebeck. Milne has clocked at 1:47.1 with Wiebeck two tenths of a second behind. Later, Milne proceeded to swim the meet's best race with a 47.1 in the 100-yard freestyle. New Marks He broke the pool record by .6 seconds set by Bob Williamson of Indiana in 1965. When asked after the meet about Milne's performance, Michi- gan coach Gus Stager had just a one word description: "Terrific." Other than Milne's wins and the 200-yard breaststroke effort of 400-yd.

When asked about his squad's prospects for the rest of the sea- son Papenguth said, "I don't ex- pect much success with the lack of depth we have. We'll just work on improving our times and see what happens." Michigan superiority was clearly evident from the start as they swept through the first two events without even being seriously chal- lenged. Wolverines Tom Mertz, Jay. Mahler, Tom Arusoo, and John Salassa breezed in the 400-yard medley relay. Then Mike O'Con- nor won the 1000-yard freestyle. Later he took the 500 also. Other Michigan winners in the swim events were Jim Leuttgen in the 50-yard freestyle, and Gary Kinkead in the 200-yard individ- ual medley. Along with these per- 0r VOKWAGEN OF AMERICA. NE. Nothing Much Stager felt that the meet did not produce any outstanding perform- ances by the Wolverines, because "after the big meets with Indiana and MSU, we were just swimming to win today and I wasn't real concerned about the times. But I was pleased with the consistency of the performances today." The diving events fitted into the pattern of the rout with Michigan sweeping 1-2 in each of the events, with Peter Emond winning both. This was Emond's first varsity dual meet at Michigan and he made his debut in impressive fash- ion. This wasn't Emond's first taste of big time competition, how- ever, since he represented his na- tive country Canada, in the Pan- .American Games., John Lee, Boilermaker coach Dick formance, victories by Lee Bisbet Papenguth's tankers were hope- in the 200-yard butterfly and Tom lessly out-classed as they dropped Mertz in the 200-yard backstroke their third meet in four tries. completed the rout.
