The second period saw both teams settle down. The coaches agreed that their teams performed their best during the second stanza. Michigan began to form some sustained drives in this per- iod and kept the Gophers con- tained in their own ice much of the time. Both 'M' goals were scored on breakaways, one by captain Wilf Martin with only 15 seconds gone, and the other by Wakabayashi. He scored on a play that worked many times for the champion Wolverines last season-playing a center or wing on the blue line when the opposition has the puck. Defensive Slip Minnesota's Roy Nystrom put the Gophers k..;k in the game with a goal at 15:16 of the second per- iod. Nystrom's shot was made pos- sible by another defensive slip by the Blue when once again they had control of the puck in Min- nesota's ice. The third period opened with spotty play by both teams as neither was able to present a con- tinuous offensive front for the first several minutes of the period. The scrappy Gophers knotted the score at 9:04 of the period on an unassisted tally by Lorne Grosso. Then, a minute and one half later, Ferguson scored on a pass from Dechaine that slipped into the lower left hand corner of the net past the sprawling Lothrop for the winning margin. Tempers Flare After two relatively clean per- iods, tempers began to flare in the final stanza as five penalties were called, two of which were on fiery-tempered Barry Mac- Donald. The Wolverines were forced to play shorthanded three times, but good penalty killing on the part of Dechaine, who fill- ed that same roll last year, kept the Gophers from scoring. Tomorrow night the Wolverines tackle the Gophers again at the Coliseum. Michigan will meet its second WCHA ' opponent, Denver, on Wolverine ice next weekend in a two-game series. -Daily-Richard Cooper ALL-AMERICA DEFENSEMAN TOM POLONIC (2) passes to wing Marty Read (16), under the out- stretched body of defenseman Dick Haigh (11). Polonic lead the defense last night stopping num- erous shots and picking up an assist on the winning goal. Last year, in addition to being on the Western All-America team, Polonic was named to the Denver Post All-WCHA team and was also given the Sophomore of the Year award. BASEBALL MEETING: Owers Okay New Draft Rule Generation By The Associated Press HOUSTON - The major league club owners, at their joint meet- ing yesterday formally amended the major league agreement to re- store to the baseball commissioner the full authority which that of- fice had enjoyed prior to 1945. The owners also voted to adopt the football-type free agent draft in conjunction with an unrestrict- ed draft of minor league players. The commissioner's new powers will go into effect immediately. The amendment, in effect, gives the commissioner the power to veto action taken by the owners if he feels such action is not in the game's best interest. Only two drafts will be held next year, in June and December. To Start' Bowl Tuneup Practice sessions for the Rose Bowl-bound Wolverines are sched- uled to begin Monday, Dec. 14. The Wolverines, who meet Ore- gon State in the New Year's Day classic, will hold the daily ses sions - in the field house unless weather conditions permit outdoor scrimmaging. Coach Bump Elliott said the squad will fly to Pasadena Dec. 20 and hold regular two-a-day sessions starting the next day and continuing through Dec. 29 or 30. Thereafter, there will be three drafts, the other in January. The owners rejected a proposal to expand the inter-league trad- ing period which currently ex- tends from Nov. 20 to Dec. 15. The proposal was to expand the period from the end of the World Series to Dec. 15. The owners agreed to make available $80,000 for the develop- ment of an umpire program and placed Ed Doherty, former Ameri- can Association president in charge of the project. The joint session, which endedl the winter meetings, lasted two hours. Commissioner Ford Frick emerged from the sessions beam- ing. "I think we came out of this1 meeting with more definite and position action than I've ever seen at any time since I've been com- missioner," he said. -finest quality laundry-- COATS and $140 DRESSES plain A & P Cleaners 312 E. Huron across from City Hall 668-9500 * * *i NCAA Opposes By The Associated Press The National Collegiate Athletic Association is opposed to the free agent, common draft of high school and college players by the major leagues. Walt Byers, executive director of the NCAA, said the college sports organization "has been on record for some time as being opposed to a free agent, common draft, for a given sport. We take this position because of the con- tention that it will work to the d i r e c t disadvantage of theI draftee." "At the same time, I must em- phasize the point that this falls outside of the colleges' purview and is a matter to be determined by those who have a more direct responsibility in this area than we do." Offensive Punch Michigan demonstrated last night that, even though the Blue lost the heart of a team that averaged 7.5 goals per game last year, that they are very capable of a powerful offensive effort. The Wolverines were kept in check for the latter part of the game by the fine play of John Lothrop. But Lothrop was hindered by num- erous defensive mistakes made by the Gophers. The first period was ragged on the part of both teams. Minnesota Coach John Mariucci said last night, "We made many defensive mistakes in the first period when eight goals were scored. Although it was a good game, there were too many mistakes on the part of both teams." anson (Haigh, Grosso) 4:16. M-Fer- guson (Wakabayashi) 14:09. Minn -Woog (unassisted).
