Friday night, for example, they took a five to nothing lead and then coasted home. In the first period alone Tiger goalie Normand Laurance was credited with 19 stops against only two for MiOhi- gan's Jim .Coyle.. Dissatisfied But even so Coach Al Renfrew wasn't satisfied with the overall performance. "We were all right in the third period of the second game," he said. "Other than that we weren't too sharp." Part of the difficulty probably stems from the exam layoff, but the Wolverines can't afford to be rusty again when they meet power laden Denver this weekend.. Renfrew ,placed more of the blame on his team's inability to get "up" for Colorado. "It's pretty tough to get, up for a team _ like that," he said with the implication that the Wolverines were looking ahead to the Denver series and then after that' the two games at Michigan Tech. Another of his big concerns was the failure of the "big guy," Red Berenso4, to score. Not since the first game of the Michigan State series at East Lansnig has he turned on the light. "He's getting his chances, but he's missing the net," said Ren- frew. "On something like that you either hit it or you don't." All was not black, however, as seldom in the WCHA can an special praise. "They hustled," he said. Pat Cushing finally broke his scoring drought with two goals in the second game, his first and second of the year, and the se- cond line of Bil Kelly, Dale Mac- Donald, and Joe Lunghammer ac- counted for six of the Michigan goals for their top point produc- tion of the year. Even defenseman Butch Nielson caged his first goal of the year in the first game of the series, and Larry Babcock picked up the hat trick Saturday to give the first line a finger in the pie. The Wolverines now have play- ed as many league games this. year as they played all last year, but strange as it may seem the toughest is yet to come, starting with Denver this week. "We'll have to go at full blast if we hope to beat them," Ren- frew said. After that, Michigan, should they come out of the series with the Pioneers with a split or better, will travel to Houghton to en- gage the Huskies in what could amount- to a death fight for se- cond place. Should they come out of that one still in second place the Wolverines will face their third "make-or-break" series, tak- ing on Michigan State in home and home matches. w By GARY GUSSIN Strong performances by three veterans and an impressive array of fast-improving sophomores en- abled °Michigan's gymnasts to up- set defending Big Ten champion, Illinois, 622-49%, last Saturday before an overflowing crowd in the I-M Building. ' The Wolverines' third straight dual meet victory was led by Cap- tain Rich Montpetit, who person- ally accounted for 22 meet points against the Illini, who have won 12 consecutive Conference titles and were pre-season favorites for. a 13th. It was Illinois' first dual meet loss in seven starts. What was expected to be a close meet turned into a rolatively easy Wolverine victory considering the close competition in each event. With 56 points needed for a tie in the meet, Michigan had registered a 571/2-381/ lead with one event- tumbling-still to go. Sophs Shire Michigan sophomores, led by Gil Larose and Jim Hynds, provided the big difference in the meet. La- rose opened the meet with a stun- ning upset of Illinois' Ray Hadley in the free exercise. Larose edged the 1960 Big Ten and NCAA cham- pion in this event, 92-911/2, with Montpetit and another Michigan soph, Barry Spicer, close behind.

But in the second half the big front line of Dick Erickson, Tom, McGrann and Norm Grow went to work and helped Minnesota' rake in 33 caroms to only 19 for Michigan. McGrann and guard Bob Griggas went on a scoring' spree in the second half, winding up with 20 and 19 points respec- tively. Although Strack offered no ex- cuses, the Wolverines played their first game without scholastically ineligible Don Petroff, the team's third-best scorer and second- leading rebounder.
