THE MICHIGAN DAILY Fact Nine I Wye , W, .Toledo blasts lax cagers; Icers edge MSU, 2-1 Wolverines rocked, 89-76; , Spartans roll over Western By DOUG HELLER By The Associated Press EAST LANSING - Frustration was the name of the game for Michigan's basketball team last night. ' The Wolverines presented Tole- do with a gift 45-38 first half lead and were unable to recover as the Rockets took it from there for an 89-76 victory. A stellar performance by Lee Lafayette led Michigan State to an 86-70 victory in the second f game of the doubleheader at Jenison Field House. Lafayette led the Spartans with 29 points and six rebounds. It was MSU's game all the way. The Wolverines had a 38-37 lead with 1:35 left in the half when close defensive play present- ed Michigan with three consecutive breakaways, but Michigan botched them all and the Rockets con- verted all three Into easy baskets to take the lead for good. Actually, the Wolverines repeat- edly missed easy shots in the first half and also committed 15 turn- overs, but close defensive play kept them in the game for most of the half. Michigan coach John Orr is not about to take anything away from Toledo, but he shudders at the mention of "missed shots." Still, the Rockets were able to shoot 61 per cent in the first half and 54 per cent for the game. Wolverine assistant coach Fred Snowden said, "Toledo had a much better game than we had anti- cipated. This is not the same team that we scouted." Orr added, "Rudy Tomjanovich did a great job to stop their star center (Steve Mix, who scored 12 points). But the rest of them were able to get in for too many easy shots. We had a lot of trouble with John Rudley." Only Ken Maxey, the Wolver- ines' erstwhile invalid, was able to put the clamps on Rudley and got the Rockets' star in foul trouble. Maxey,, who came' in midway through the first half, drew the praise of Orr. The coach said, "His timing was off and he threw the ball away a lot, but he showed a lot of hustle. You couldn't expect 'much more from somebody who hasn't played for two weeks." The second half found Michigan daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: PHIL BROWN Slack tallies twice in'M'win; Goalie Keough sparks rally By JIM FORRESTER The Michigan hockey team started their 1968-69 home season almost disastrously last night but came on for an exciting 2-1 vic- tory over arch-rival Michigan and scored all of his nine points State. - I - - -A.

At one point, the Wolverines had Maxey, Tomjanovich, Bob Sullivan, Willie Edwards and Rick Bloodworth playing together. Here the game became extremely rough and appeared to resemble foot- ball. Rocket coach Bob Nichols sum- marized the game for his team when he said, "We played hard as a team. The defense was above average and we got good pene- tration for good shots." Nichols also had high praise for TomJanovich. He called him "a great player who can work well both inside and outside." Dennis Stewart had an interest- ing game for the Wolverines.

After the State tally, Michigan took control of the puck again and forced a face-off to the left of the State net. The puck came directly from the face-off to Slack who put it in unassisted at 19:17 of the middle stanza. 1 "Their defense didn't go after the puck," smiled Slack after the game, "so I just pushed it toward the net." The game-winner was more of a team effort, but the result was still the same as Slack backhand- ed the puck past the State goal keeper with 'but 3:44 remaining in the game. Michigan seemed unable to move themselves or the puck for the first seven minutes of the open- ing period as, State kept up con- stant pressure on the Michigan net. But All-American goalie Jim Keough was fantastic in the first stanza, knocking away shot after shot. At the seven-minute mark of the first period, State had their best scoring opportunity. W it h Keough sprawled helpless on the left side of the net the puck head- ed straight for the right side off the stick of Spartan Bill Enrico. "It had me beat," said goalie Keough, "but Phil Gross skated back and took the puck just as it headed for the net." From that moment on it was all Michigan. State became slow and unable to move the puck. Michigan kept constant pressure on the State net for the rest of the period, but was unable to score. The Blue couldn't buy a point as Brian Slack, Doug Gal- braith and Barney Pashak all missed open shots on goal. Michigan picked up in the se- B.

Slack scored both Michigan goals as the Wolverines defeated the Spartans, 2-1. cond period where they left offj in the first but were still unable to score. State was willing to give the Wolverines every chance, al- thought it was to no avail. Both Galbraith and Dave Per- rin managed two breakaways against the State defense but had no luck against the fine goal- tending of State's Richard Duf- fet. Finally the Spartans rallied around their defense and manag- ed to tally at 15:05. Bill Watt put a hard shot on Keough who was unable to control the rebound. The puck came directly to Ken Anstey who put the puck into the right side of the net over Keough's shoulder. Then Slack, who wasn't, began his heroics. The game was a story of a Michigan team that got stronger as the pame progressed and a State team that didn't seem to go anywhere. But Wolverine coach Al Renfrew feels State is to be reck- oned with. "This is a much bet- ter team than they have had in a few years. They're tough." And tough is what they will be as the two teams will travel to East Lansing tonight and the Spartans will attempt to gain their revenge.

Other of these specialists must be ready to make a better showing if the Wolverines are to capture their tougher conference meets. Tired of Selling Out?
