SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA:F f~tI' F. £~~AL~ ~ V L.~ 4 Iers Stumble While. Cagers Crumble Nodaks Clinch WCHA Title Cagers Dumped into Cellar By JOHN SUTKUS North Dakota finally got to play their kind of hockey last night and they came away a winner over Michigan, 4-1. "We just died out there," sighed Michigan coach Al Renfrew. "The philosophy just didn't work some- where tonight. We couldn't keep' two men on the puck handler." "The philosophy" worked to per- fection on Friday night as the Wolverines nailed the Nodaks to the boards, 2-1. Forechecking with a passion and dogging the puck handler all the way down the :ce, Michigan's icers made the Dako- tans cough up the puck and bot- tled up their defense. But it didn't go according to the script last night. The win clinched the WCHA title for North Dakota. Even if they should drop both ends of the two game series at Michigan Tech next weekend' and even if Mich- igan should sweep, a pair at Min- nesota the Nodaks Win it, edging in. by the slimness of .005 per- centage point. If Michigan had won the two games, the situation could have been the other way around. Then, double wins for both teams next weekend would have left the Wolv- erines .005 on top.

T- -npson, along with Dean bucier, Bob Boysen, Danny Wal- ter, Greg Page, and Captain Mike Marttila, skated his last home hockey game for Michigan last night. The six seniors took the traditional path around the Coli- seum's center M' shortly after the Dekers installed Mel Wakabayashi in the Hall of Fame. Captain Marttila expressed the exasperation in concrete terms. "We just didn't play very good hockey. That's the trouble with a team like that. They got going and once they did they went fast." Fluke Goal Defenseman Thompson bemoan- ed the scoring of Dakota's first goal. "You can't play good hockey for only one period against that team. It's a tough way to finish it. "They got a good break, a fluke goal. It works for them. We did all we could. The defenseman on the play (Phil Gross) did what he was supposed to, but the puck bounced." The score nullified a lead that the Wolverines had held for nearly a period. With the game barely five minutes old, Lucier took a drop pass from Randy Binnie just inside the blue line and held it. While the crowd begged "shoot! Shoot ! ", the senior wing coolly waited for his opening and fooled Sioux goalie Mike Curran for a 1-0 Michigan lead. Instant Replay ... Almost It looked like a replay of the game the night before. Michigan kept the pressure on North Da- kota's defense and kept their of- fense bottled up. But the Nodaks came back onto. the ice for the second period and switched the film, taking just 3:28 to knot it. They ran away and hid in the third period, breaking loose for three goals in the first eight and a half minutes. The cushion was plenty for their defense to work with and the title was theirs. "They're real tough out there in front of that net," continued Marttila. The Sioux defense kept the area in front of Curran clear- ed of Wolverines. No Handle' Michigan could never find the handle on rebounds. Centering passes were just a little too far away. The opportunities were al- most there. "The break worked for them. They fired up and flew. We got a good crowd, it was a fight for the title, and then we couldn't give them good hockey," concluded Thompson. The opportunity for the Big Ten' title lies ahead. Michigan will close out its regular season next weekend with a two game set-to with Minnesota which will decide that conference crown. By JOEL BLOCK Special To The Daily MINNEAPOLIS - You can't overlook the 36 points by Tom Kondla. But in the end, it was reserve forward Ray Stephens who gave Minnesota the impetus for an 89- 86 victory over Michigan last night. Stephens, younger brother of ex-Minnesota All-America quar- terback Sandy Stephens and a quarterback himself on the Min- nesota football squad, shut down a late Wolverine surge with a driving dunk shot in the last min- ute. The "stuff" came after the Wol- verines had reduced a nine-point Gopher lead down to a three-point margin in a minute and a half. Stephens took the ball around mid- court and dribbled through a lag- ging Michigan defense all the way to the basket unmolested. The Gophers got off to a quick 4-0 lead in the first half but Mich- igan went ahead 5-4 two minutes later on a three-point play by for- ward Jim Pitts. The Wolverines pushed their lead up to five with four minutes gone in the half, but it was the last evidence of Wolverine supremacy. Take Leatht The Gophers took time out and just two minutes later a Kondla field goal shot Minnesota back into the lead, 14-13. The Wolver- ines did manage to take the ad- vantage 29-28 with five minutes - I JIM PITTS the Wolverines could play was "catch-up," and they were always just a step behind the Gophers. Commenting on his unorthodox method of employing Stephens, Gopher head Coach John Kondla said, "I put him (Stephens) In when I thought we were flat on our feet under the boards." Kundla continued, "The way he goes up in the air and snaps it up scares you. He put fear into the other team." Fed Right Kundla said that Kondla's suc- cesful performance came because "the rest of the team fed him just at the right time. With that Dill guarding him, it's the only way he could have scored." Wolverine head coach Dave Strack explained that he wanted to put more pressure on their out- side shooting. "But when we did that, it opened things up for them inside." Pitts played perhaps his finest game of the season, hustling around the Gopher defenders, hit- ting nine of 17 field goal attempts and four of seven from the line. Complementing Pitts' 22-point effort was Dave McClellan, who scored 13 in sparking the second- half surge and finished with 19 including nine of fourteen from the field and fifteen rebounds. Kondla, who has taken over the Big Ten's scoring leadership from IoWa's Sam Williams, hit an un- believable 16 for 25 from the field, including ten out of 11 on his smooth but fatal hook shot. Paul Presthus, hustling Gopher captain, put through eight of 12 and added a free throw to finish as second high for the home team. -Daily-Thomas R.

Compiling 127 points to 96 for Michigan State, 71 for Indiana and 16 for a weak Ohio State team, Michigan reversed the 66-57 de- feat they had received from the Spartans at East Lansing. But this is only part of the story as the individual times turned in by some athletes wer ealmost unbelievable when compared to past perform- ances. 400 Upset After the 400-yard medley relay team opened the meet with an upset over the Spartans, chiefly because of a comeback made by Don Natali on the butterfly leg, Gary Kinkead easily won the 1000- yard freestyle by beating his pre- vious best time by 10 seconds. And, that's the way it went all afternoon. Kinkead ended up by winning the 500-yard freestyle in 4:51.6, possibly the outstanding performance of the meet. This time was eleven seconds over his previous best, and one second off Roy Saari's winning time in last year's NCAA championships. Kinkead also found time to fin- ish second in the grueling 200- yard individual medley. This is a freshman? After the meet, Kin- kead said, in this week's top rank- ing understatement, "I never felt beter in the water in my life than I did today." Sullivan Surprise The other really outstanding surprise of the day was Tim Sulli- van, who although not even swim- ming in the prestigous third heat of either the 50- or 100-yard free- styles, managed to win both sec- ond heats and place second in each event overall. The scoring system, 7, 5, 4, 3,,2, Z, for first through sixth place respectively in individual events, and 14, 10, 8, and 6 points for the relay events, allowed Michigan to help itself often by entering many swimmers to win points in the lower positions. But diving coach Dick Kimball, citing Kinkead as an example, de- nied that this was the reason for Michigan's showing. Before the 400-YD. MEDLEY RELAY - 1.

Henry meet, he had figured Michigan would win, 100 to 98, and the extra 27 points were the gravy. Kimball, who said that the meet was sure to spark the varsity, and Kinkead, were anxious to give credit to Bill Farley, the freshman coach and former Olympian for sparking the team. Farley gave the credit to the swimmers and noted that the really amazing part of the meet was that not one man performed below par. But since every meet has to have something o wrong to make a story sound remotely objective, how about Zuchowsky swallowing water in the 400 yard freestyle relay and being forced to finish his leg doing a backstroke? The result: Michigan lost the race by 3/100 of a second. Oh well, you can't have everything. Now the big question is will the varsity be as up for the Big Tens as the freshmen were? (1). 2.
