Michigan has been a home- breaker to Iowa for the last two years. The Wolverines have brok- en down the Hawks for their only two homecourt losses in the two seasons-both times killing t h e Hawks' title hopes. Last year in the final Big Ten game of the season, when Iowa led the conference with a one game advantage, Michigan downed the Hawkeyes 71-70 to force a play- off with Ohio State. Ohio State won the game and the title. Orr tried to explain the differ- ence in the team's playing that resulted in the Iowa win. "It was essential that we rebound well in order to beat them. We did a good job even though we only had one more rebound than they did. "I think that in the last thirty seconds it came down to the team that had the most character. Max- ey's steal and Sullivan's rebound, in the last few seconds proved that we have that character." Gopher split thwarts Icers -Daily-Thomas R. Copi MICliGAN'S DENNIS STEWART puts up an easy shot for two points against Michigan State earlier this year. Stewart's board work and timely scoring helped the Wolverines to gain the upset 86-85 victory over Iowa on Saturday. By PETER KENT The Michigan icers traveled to frustrating Minnesota this week- end, and could do no better than gain a split in the two game ser- ies. The Wolverines played some fine hockey, but fell victim to Bill Klatt and the Gophers on Friday, 4-3. But Brian Slack's two goals paced Michigan as it gamed revenge with a 4-2 Saturday night victory. The turning point in the first clash came just 58 seconds into the first period as Klatt scored his first goal. From that point the Wolverines were forced to play come-from-behind hockey, but never mustered the sauce to catch up. Barry Pashak tied the score in the first period, only to see "Min- nesota get one of its many breaks and recapture the lead. Michigan goalie Jim KeoughI made a fan- tastic 'save; but the puck bounced off his face and sat in front of the open net. Keough was shaken, and Rick Yurich rushed in and took advantage of the situation, tapping the puck home'for Min- nesota's second marker. "It was a big break in the game," noted Michigan mentor Al Renfrew, "but there was nothing we could do." Dave Perrin scored twice, his second goal bringing Michigan' to within one, 4-3. However, the last eight minutes of the game saw no more scoring, though a Mich- igan shot bounced off the post with just nine seconds remaining. "It was a tough loss," commented Renfrew, "but a well"' played game." Michigan had several deficits to overcome. But Minnesota, par- ticularly noted for their speed, al- so houses the biggest rink in the WCHA. The Wolverines were forced to 'play Saturday's contest without the help of Paul Gamsby, who came to blows with a Min- nesota player late in Friday's game. "Nevertheless," explained Renfrew, "the squad was mentally, 'up' for the game and rose to the occasion." After two periods of evenly played hockey the Gophers held a 2-1 advantage. Then the Wol- verines came to life, and played their best period of the weekend, led by Brian Slack's two tallies. There was much more intensity in Saturday's come-from-behind win, but the big difference had to be the fact that the breaks went to Michigan. Keough played an- other outstanding game, matching Friday night's total of 34 saves. "The squad is dedicated and have displayed courage in recent games," pointed. out Renfrew. "It's the team that gets the breaks that will win the game." Renfrew was particularly referring to, the previous Saturday's game at Mich- igan Tech as well as this series. The Wolverines outplayed Tech at their rink, but the breaks went the wrong way. The winning goal came on a heavily screened shot which was ;deflected off Keough's stick and narr into the net.

Milwaukee blew a 14-point lead during a cold shooting stretch at the start of the fourth quarter but went on a 10-0 sreak to win going away after Atlanta had pulled to within 97-96. * * * MONTREAL (R) - Phil Espo- sito's assault on the National Hockey League scoring record will have to wait awhile. Boston's slick center won't be doing any scoring for the next two games. Esposito will miss Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh and Sunday's against New York be- cause of a suspension handed down yesterday by NHL President Clarence Campbell. Esposito, who has 92 points- five short of 'the NHL record shared by Bobby Hull and Stan Milita, both of Chicago-became incensed when Sloan called a two- minute slashing penalty against- him in the Philadelphia game.
