With such a situation it would seem a miracle that the Wolver- ines did pull out a win, but they were aided by a Minnesota team that looked just as flat and play- ed just as poorly. Gophers showed very little movement on offense, poor re- bounding, and inaccurate f o u 1 shooting. Their only effective wea- pon was guard Al Nuness who poured in 27 points and kept' Minnesota in the game. Nuness was particularly tough in the first half when he hit for 15 markers and even put the Gophers into a 27-22 lead at one point. The Wolverines then began to apply their p r e s s more thoroughly and used superior board strength to forge a 42-40 halftime edge. Michigan's first half comeback was led by Rudy Tomjanovich, who popped in eight points, and Dan Fife, who added four more. Tomjanovich was most important in the rebounding area as he snapped in 11 caroms in the half and finished with 21 for the game. game like we played against psychologically up; there's just pancake tonight." istant Coach Fred Snowden ng 83-79 victory over Minnesota y Orr concurred when he said p.

Inspiredby the tremendous vic- tory of the night before and the resounding cheers of the clamor- ous crowd, Michigan bombarded the Nodak net and scored four times before the Sioux even saw the puck. Adding to the excitement was flashy Dave Perrin who brilliantly stickhandled his way past the stunned North Dakota defense and contributed a hat-trick toward the Michigan effort. Contributing greatly to the icer's success was the superb play of Randy Binnie, Doug Glendin- ning. and Don Deeks. While Glen- dinning scored once in each game, Binnie and Deeks backed up their teammate with a goal apiece. At Monday's practice Renfrew praised the Binnie line and stated emphatically, "Probably the best defensive line is Binnie's and now that they are scoring, they're do- ing everything." Binnie noted that their line "began playing together in the SAVE 20% at the University Discount Store We Hove: ' -A COMPLETE LINE OF BRUSHES -ACRYLICS, OILS, POSTER COLORS -CANVAS AND CANVAS PANELS -NEWSPRINT PADS --GESSO -TISSUE PAPER -Many Other Items Also check with us for pens, pencils, paper, and RECORDS at DISCOUNT prices OPEN SUN.-THURS.

When discusing the improved play of what he calls the "Scooter ILine," Binnie said, "We're play- ing a little more conservatively. We don't skate in as fast, and we leave one man ten or fifteen feet out." Putting the description in simpler terms Binnie declared, "We know where the other man is'"' Combined with determined play of the three Michigan lines, Jim Keough came through with a sterling performance in the Mich- igan nets. By turning away t h e sizzling Nodak shots, Kough pro- vided the spark which inspired the rest of the team.
