After two weeks of Big Ten
competition, Michigan's Wolver-
ines have produced the best three-a
man scoring punch in the league.-
Following Monday's contests,
official standings show that M. C.
Burton, John Tidwell, and George
Lee are ranked first, second, and
fourth respectively in overall Con-,
ference scoring.
Play Longer
Coach Bill Perigo's weaknesses
on the bench have forced him to
play his starting squad for the bet-
ter part of each game, and as a
result, the Wolverine trio has
raced to the top of the league in
individual scoring.
Despite being held to 17 points
in Monday's 84-74 win over the
cellar-dwelling Badgers of Wis-
consin, Burton is still in possession
of first place in the standings with
89 points in four games.
Point Splurge
With the biggest point splurge
of the week, Sophomore John Tid-
well jumped into second place
only seven points off Burton's
pace. Tidwell hit for 37 points in
the Wisconsin game and dropped
two records by the wayside in the
process.
His total of 37 was the best ever
recorded by a Wolverine in a road
game, and also shattered the Wis-
consin fieldhouse mark. Perigo
noted that Tidwell hit his 15 field
goals in 21 attempts for a brilliant
71.4 percentage.
The genial coach stated, "Tid-
well can become one of the best
shots in the country. You just
can't beat that percentage."
Rounding out Michigan's heavy
scoring threesome is big Georgi
Lee, who has played consistentl:
good ball all season. With only 1(
points in the Badger game, Lee
was still able to hold down fourtV
in the standings with 72,
The only threat to the Wolver
ines' monopoly on individual scor
ing honors comes from Manni
Jackson of the high-flying DIlini
Jackson hit for 24 against Iowi
last Monday to take third place
with a 79 point total.
Share Lead
Illinois now shares the leagu
lead with Michigan and Indiana
but is tops in team scoring aver
aging 89 points per game, a figurt
that wasn't hurt by the 103-97 vic
tory over Iowa.
The only other Wolverine lister
in the standings is guard Terr
Miller in 18th position. The littl
playmaker, who would probably b
leading the conference if record
were kept for assists, has hit fo
49 points while setting up hi
higher scoring teammates.

RANGERS' BATHGATE EDGES VETS:
Canadiens Place Three on NHL All-Star Sextet

Montreal's league-leading Cana-
diens gave further proof of their
dominance of the National Hockey
League when three of their players
were named to the circuit's all-
star team in the recent halfway
mark voting.
Colorful right winger Dickie
Moore of the league leaders led the
poll, receiving 86 of a possible 90
votes. He was accompanied on the
starting team by teammates Henri
Richard at center and Tom John-
son at one of the two defensive
positions.
Detroit placed two players on
the six-man squad - goalie Terry
Sawchuck, whose sensational work
in the nets has kept the low scor-
ing Red Wings in contention, and
defenseman Marcel Pronovost,
who is having the best season in
his NHL career.
Rounding out the squad at right
wing is New York's Andy Bath-
gate, who is second in the league
scoring race. The Ranger star
edged the Canadiens' Bernie Geof-
frion, who is the league's leading
scorer and Oordie Howe, the Red
Wing great who has been on the
all-star first team seven times in
his long NHL career.
The Canadiens placed two play-

ers on the second team in addition
to Geoffrion. They were center
Jean Beliveau and goalie Jacques
Plante. Others on the second team
were defensemen Bill Gadsby of
the Rangers and Fernie Flaman
of the Boston Bruins, and left
wing Alex Delvecchio of Detroit.
Another Poll
The league will take another
poll of hockey broadcasters and
writers at the end of the season
and combine the two votes to pick
the final team. The unique half-
way mark voting system was ini-
tiated to give a better break to the
fast starting players who might
be neglected if the voting was held
only at the end of the campaign.
The selection to either the first
or second team means more than
just another honor as first team
members pick up a $1,000 bonus
and second team players $500.
Other Stars Missing
Noticeably absent from the first
two teams besides Howe were
Montreal's Doug Harvey and De-
troit's Red Kelly, who have dom-
inated the defensive positions in
recent years' voting.
In the league race itself the
Canadiens are off on another un-
beaten streak - this one is only
six games compared to the 13
game streak they rolled up earlier
in the season. Surprising Chicago
remained in the second slot de-
spite losses to Montreal and New
York over the weekend.
With only seven points separat-
ing the second and last place
teams, the race for Stanley Cup
playoff berths - the top four
finishers - should be an exciting
one,
