play that brought the Williams
arena crowd of 3,404 screaming to
its feet. Michigan defenseman
John Palenstein was circling with
the puck at the rel line to set up
what the Wolverines had hoped
would be a successful power play,
when suddenly with a brilliant
burst of speed, Mahle literally
came out of nowhere, stole the
puck, and skated in all alone on
Michigan goalie Jim Coyle.

DOES SPLITS - Michigan goalie Jim Coyle does the splits in
an attempt to stop one of the many shots Denver fired at him
in the Pioneers' recent visit to Ann Arbor. His efforts weren't
needed, however, as the shot went wide. Dale MacDonald and
Bill Kelly move in to clear.
Wit Breaks Mark,
wBut kWarriors, Lose

From 20 feet out, he blastad a3
shot into the .right hand side of
the net that put victory out ofj
Michigan's reach.
It was Mahle who had opened
the scoring in the second period.,
With seven minutes gone he pick-.
ed up a loose puck in the Michi-
gan zone, maneuvered a Michigan
defenseman out of position, and
drilled home a 15-footer to give
the Gophers a 1-0 lead.
The Gophers added to their
margin four minutes later when
Ron Constantine, subbing for in-
jured Minnesota star Jerry Nor-
man, set up center Larry Smith
with a beautiful pass in front of
the Michigan net. From about 10
feet out, the Gopher center picked
an open corner and flipped home
a backhander past the helpless
Michigan goalie.
The first period, though Min-
nesota had the better scoring op-
portunities, was fairly even as
both teams seemed content to sit
back and wait for the other to
make a mistake.
The Wolverines made several,
drawing four penalties.
The banishments, which left
the Wolverines shorthanded f(r
11 minutes in the period, seemed
to confuse and disrupt the Wol-
verine attack, even when they
were at full strength.
The Gophers, however, failed to
capitalize, as Coyle was at his
best hopping from side to side
in the nets, and the Wolverines
managed to stay even.'
Minnesota netminder Larson,
though forced to make only seven
saves in the period, had to be
quick to stop drives by Berenson
and MacDonald, especialli" in the
last seconds of play when the

Wolverine power-play did every-
thing but flash the light.
Norman was injured midway in
the first period when he was hook-
ed in the eye by Berenson. The
Redhead drew a major penalty for
drawing blood and Norman had
to leave the game.
It was learned that the Go-
phers' top scorer had suffered an
injury to the cornea of the eye
and would miss tonights game al-
so.
Despite the loss of Norman, the
fired up Gophers played what
press box observors called "their
best game of the year." Particu-
larly in the second period when
they piled up their two goal lead,
the Gophers seemed to be every-
where at once, outskating and
outhustling the Wolverines.
However, the Wolverines, a little
off their game, were in contention
all the way. Several times they
appeared ready to break the game
open; only to be thwarted by
Gopher goalie Mike Larson, who's
play has improved considerably
since his January appearance in
Ann Arbor.
Larry Babcock, Butch Niel-
son, and MacDonald all had great
scoring opportunities only to 'be
frustrated by Larson's fine goal-
tending.
Perhaps his. most sensational
save came in the games' closing
seconds when he stood off the
last ditch Michigan attempt to
narrow the gap. With just a se-
cond remaining, he sprawied
spectacularly to take a goal away
from Michigan's Bill Kelly.
Tonight the Wolverines have
60 more minutes to close the Go-
phers'- two goal gap and open one

Special to The Daily
Bennie McRae and Les Bird last
night in the Chicago Daily News
Relays won high places for Michi-
gan's Big Ten champs in a meet
dominated by ex-Olympians and
stars with Michigan and Big Ten
backgrounds.
McRae, double winner in the
Big Ten hurdle races last week,
beat Southern California's stel-
lar hurdler, Don Styron, to win
his heat of the 60-yd. highs in
:07.3.
When he met ex-Eastern Michi-
gan flash Hayes Jones in the fin-
als, McRae started well and led
after the first hurdle but lost by
a yard to the flying Jones, who
won in :07.1.
Jones, bronze medalist in the
Olympics, racked up his fourth re-
lays in a row, having tied the
world record of :07.0 on his three
previous outings.
In the broad jump Bird manag-
ed a fourth-place with a leap of
23'9Y4". Bothered by the short
runway, Bird fouled on four of his
jumps and never reached peak
form. The . winner, Olympic gold

! medalist Ralph Boston, soared
126'%", bettering the listed world
indoor record but falling six in-
ches short of his own pending
mark. Boston didn't even bother
to jump in the finals.
Olympian Tony Watson was
second at 25'9" and Paul Foreman,
Big Ten champ from Illinois was
third, only two inches ahead of
Bird.
The two other entries' for Mich-
igan did not fare so well against
the top-flight competition. Sprint-
er John Gregg got off to a slow
start-, and failed to place in his
heat of the 50-yd. dash.
In the finals, Colorado State's
Fred McCoy upset Indiana's Ed-
die Miles, Big Ten 60-yd. king,
and tied the meet record of :05.2.
The Wolverines mile relay ffin-
ished third in its heat behind In-
diana and Northwestern, which
had placed first and second in the
Big Ten championships,
Dick Cephas led off for Michi-
gan and came in with a ten-yard
lead. Bryan Gibson, running
against Indiana's Reggie Laconi

and Northwestern's Ed West, two
fine quarter-milers; still had a
one-yard lead when he handed off
to Carter Reese.
Reese managed to hold his lead
for Ergas Leps, who had doubled
in the longer mile and half-mile
races for Michigan in the confer-
ence championships. After Leps
dropped behind the Hoosiers' Ed
Clinton and the Wildcats' Jerry
Golem, he fell two yards short of
catching them with his customary
finishing kick on the small track.
Clinton passed Golem with a
late burst to win in 3:21.9, a slow
time compared to the 3:17.9 turn-
ed in by Drake, winners of the
fastest of the five heats.
The most sensational race of
the night was young Tom Sulli-
van's smashing upset of two vet-
erans; Pete Close and Ed Moran,
in the 1,000-yd. run,
Sullivan, a high school senior
from Chicago, outsprinted pace-
setter, Olympic miler Close, to win
by a yard in the good time of
12:10.5.

FORT WAYNE (A)-Wilt Cham-
berlain of the Philadelphia War-
riors last night became the.first
National Basketball Association
player to score more than 3,000
points in one season, but his 32-
point game failed to keep the
Detroit Pistons from winning 120-
103. Chamberlain brought his
year's production to 3,016.
The 7-foot-1 Chamberlain set
the old league season record of
2,707 points last year as a rookie.
He got the 16th point that gave
him 3j000 lust 38 seconds before
the end'of the first half..
Bailey Howell of Detroit out-
scored Chamberlain with 35 points
and the Pistons had the better of
every quarter.
After trailing 61-35 at the half,
Philadelphia tied up the game at
73-73 late in the third quarter on
Joe Graboski's shot from the side.
Gene Shue of the Pistons hit a
fielder to break the tie and Howell
pumped in three straight to spread
the margin.
The victory was a. big "one for
Detroit, which broke a third-plane
tie with Cincinnati in the Eastern

Division but has only one remain-
ing game, at New York Sunday.
Cincinnati has two weekend games
at Los Angeles.
Czechs - od
Hockey, Edge

GENEVA (f') -- The world ice
hockey championship moved into
its pay-off stages today-and it
was still a three-way battle among
Canada, Czechoslovakia and Rus-
sia.,
All of them are expected to win
today's matches before stepping
out Sunday in the final games to
decide the championship.
"Any one of three could wip,"
Canadian Coach Bobby Kromm
said. "The Czechs, after beating
Russia and drawing with us, may-
be have a slight edge.
,"But nothing is going to be de-
cided until the final whistle Sun-
day night."
The remaining matches for the
top three are: Czechoslovakia vs.
East Germany, Czechoslovakia vs.
Sweden, Russia vs. West Germany,

or win by only one goal, there is
still a possibility that the Wolver-'
ines could be awarded the NCAA
berth. Though admittedly slim,
the chance would hang on the
decision of the selection commit-
tee who could be influenced by the
fact that \had Minnesota played
Denver during the regular season,
the playoff series would probably
have been played on Michigan ice.
Title Fight
On Monday
MIAMI BEACH (P)-The third
title fight between heavyweight
champion Floyd Patterson and In-
gemar Johansson picked up a little
steam yesterday.
Promoters said tickets were mov-
ing for Monday's 15-round match
and the closed-circuit television
people talked glowingly of poten-
tial $1 million, purses for each
fighter.
Bill Fugazy, president of Fea-
tures Sports Inc., the prbmoters,
estimated a gross of between,$500,-
000 and $600,000 at Miami Beach

Special to The Daily
BLOOMINGTON - Tonight
marks the end of the season for
first-year Coach Dave Strack and
his Michigan cagers, as the Wol-
verines close against the same Big
Ten foe they opened with, Indi-
ana.
The fifth-place Hoosiers in-
flicted an 81-70 defeat on the
Wolverines, who have since re-
mained in the Conference cellar,
but could tie Michigan State for
ninth with a win over the favor-
ed hosts.
Captain John Tidwell will be
trying to add to his all-time rec-
ord point total of 1,367 in the last
game of his successful college ca-
reer. He originally broke Ron
Kramer's old mark of 1,123 against
the same Hoosiers.
Scores 21
Tidwell scored 21 points in that
Jan. 7 game at Ann Arbor, but
the player with the unorthodox
"broken-arm" (bent elbow) shot,
who has broken almost every
existing Michigan record, plus
holding thefBig 10 field goal mark
of 20 in a single game, would sim-
ply like to finish with a victory.
"We'll really be trying to win
this one for the coach," said Tid-
well, "as he has worked hard but
hasn't seen the results in the
win column."b
Michigan has actually been bet-
ter than its 6-17 record (2-11 in
the conference) would indicate, as
it dropped four straight Big Ten
games in the last minute of play,
besides extending Missouri Valley
powers Wichita and Drake to the
limit in losing.
Big Job
The Wolverines' big job tonight
will be to stop Walt Bellamy, In-
diana's 6'101/2" All-American cen-
ter. The huge pivotman scored 23
points in the earlier game and
grabbed 17 rebounds. However,
Michigan's 6'7" sophomore Tom
Cole did a fair job on Bellamy,
plus blocking three of his shots,
and Strack hopes to see the same
again, whether Michigan plays a
man-to-man or a zone defense
around the big boy.
Also playing a key role in the
previous victory was floor general

Gary Long, who flipped in 18
points besides.leading the dazzling
Hoosier fast break. It was the lat-
ter who shot Indiana into a 23
point second-half lead before
Michigan came storming back to
eventually get within seven points
(77-70).
The third important man in
the opening win was sophomore
forward Tom Bolyard, who scored
13 markers, which is below his Big
Ten average of 16.5. This ranks
Just below sixth-place Tidwell's
mark of 17.9.
Line-Up Uncertain
The remainder of the Hoosiers'
line-up is uncertain, as Coach
Branch McCracken has been shift-
ing around his talented bench all
year, trying to find the right
combination. Indiana's record,
disappointing for a team mention-
ed in 'the same breath as Ohio
State before the season started,

shows that he hasn't been toox
successful.
It is likely, however, that the1
other guard will emerge from the
hot shooting quartet of Ray Pavy,
Jim Rayl, Ernie Wilhoit, or Jerry
Bass, all of whom have started
this year. The fifth man colud be1
6'8" Charlie Hall, 6'7" Gordon
Mickey or 6'4" Dave Porter.
Indiana will again have the de-
cided height advantage that help-.
ed the Hoosiers to a nine-re.-
bound edge in the first encounterj
with the Wolverines.
Board Power
However, Strack hopes that his
-team will be able to display the
same power on the boards that it
did in Monday's win over the
Conference's tallest team, Illinois,
when they fell only two rebounds
short of the Illini.
He plans to. start Scott Maentz,
who scored 13 in the first Indiana
game, at one forward along with
either 6'4" Charlie Higgs or rugged
Bob Brown.
Starting at guard with Tidwell
will be Jon Hall, who has develop-
ed into a defensive ace: as well as
a floor leader. Hall, who was
shut out against Indiana, has

since had several games in double
figures, scoring 12 points in the
first half at Wisconsin.'
§teve Schoenherr, who hit 5
.for 7 in the Jan. tilt, will be ready
for relief duty.
"Everyone will have to be at his
'best if we are to win," said Strack.
"Indiana is tough no matter what
their record. We thought we could
win the last time, but started off
nervous and they jumped ahead.
We'll have to remedy that.
"The team and I are sort of
sorry, to see our last game come,
but we can judge our improve-
ment from the first Indiana game
(the opener) to this one, and see
just how far we've come."

In the mile, Hungarian Istvan
Rozsavolgyi failed in his attempt
to break the four-minute indoor
mile for the first time in his-
tory, but won in a respectable
4:04.7. Second in this race was
another teen-age distance star,
Bruce Kidd of Toronto, who timed
a superb 4:09.4.
Indiana's Reggie Sheppard dup-
licated his Big Ten high jump win
by clearing 6'9" to beat Bob Gard-
ner of the U.S. Marines and West-
ern Michigan's Alonzo Littlejohn.
Former Illinois great George
Kerr won the 600-yd. run by 15
yards in 1:11.2, short of the world
record of 1:09.3 he set last week.
In the two-mile run Western
Michigan's Jerry Ashmore was a
distant second to Olympian Max
Truex, who won in 8:49.1 to break
the meet record.
Western Michigan won the Uni-
versity two-mile relay when Dick
Green, Jerry Bashaw, Dick Pond
and John Bork beat Kansas in
7:40.2.

Ohio State's national and Big

strive to wrap up the first per-
feet regular season record by a
Big Ten basketball team in 42
years a sthey close the conference
campaign at Illinois.
Undefeated in 23 games this
campaign, the Buckeyes take a 13-
0 Big Ten mark against the er-
ratic, but dangerous Illini in a
regional TV matinee (4:30 p.m.
EST).
The last Big Ten team to emerge
unscathed through an over-all
season was the 1919 Minnesota
Gophers-playing just about half
as many games-with a 13-0 rec-
ord.
An Ohio State triumph at
Champaign also would give the
Buckeyes the first unbeaten con-
ference season since the Illinois
whiz kids racked up a 12-0 mark
in. 194%.
In other final Big Ten games,
Iowa and Purdue, each with a 9-4

tively.

of the $20,000 Pensacola Open
Golf Tournament yesterday with
a 7-under-par 65.

SARASOTA-Don Mossi and
Ray Narleski, the question-mark
hurlers in the Detroit camp, both
passed their first tests with flying,
colors yesterday. They hurled
three sharp innings each in a 14-7
victory over the Chicago White
Sox in the first exhibition game
of the season.
Mossi, who was idle all last
September with arm trouble, held
the White Sox to one hit but was
tagged for a pair of unearned runs

on a wild throw to fiist base by
rookie shortstop Dick McAuliffe.
Narleski made a giant stride to-
ward winning back his Tiger job
by facing only nine hitters in
three hitless innings. Narleski
missed all of 1960 because of a
spine operation.
The Tigers collected 13 hits,
Rocky Colavito hitting a two run
homer and Al Kaline a three run
double as part of a six run fourth
inning off Winston Brown. The
White Sox starter and loser was
Juan Pizarro, off whom two of
four runs were unearned in a
