Tech Defeats 'M' Icers, 5-4
FOR 'M' CAGERS:
BuckeyesTo Prove Real Test
By STAN KUKLA
Special To The Daily7
HOUGHTON-It was Christmas
all over again last night as Michi-;
gan gave Michigan Tech three ear-
ly _goals and then failed to over-,
take the Huskies, coming out on'
the short end of a 5-1 score.
The two teams meet again to-
night, closing out the two-game'
series of Western Collegiate Hock-
ey Association play. Husky Coach
John Maclnnes said before the
game, "After both squads having
such tremendous years last year,
the teams are in the rebuilding
stage, and this could be the week-
end that one of them will jell into
a contender."
Huskies Capitalize
The Huskies went a long way
last night toward jelling into. that
contender, for it is said that a
championship team is one that
capitalizes on breaks.
Michigan Tech's first three goals
were all the result of breaks. John
Ivanitz scored at 4:48 of the first
period when he pushed the puck
past Michigan goalie Bill Bieber.
Bieber was sprawled on the ice at
the right side of the net after mak-
ing a save on a shot by Gary Begg.
Bob Pallante grabbed Begg's re-
bound and passed along the goal
mouth to Ivanitz who was un-
guarded and had Bieber at his
mercy. A little less than 11 min-
utes later, Roy Heino batted the
puck by Bieber.
Heino was one of a trio stand-
ing in front of Bieber. Only two
Wolverines were trying to check
them but they got the puck into
the goal only after Bieber kicked
out several shots.
John McGonigal made the game
close for a few seconds when he
got the puck past Gary Bauman.
Dave Butts brought the puck after
receiving a clearing pass from Ross
Morrison. Butts centered the puck
from the left of the net and Mc-
Gonigal fired it in from 10 feet.
That was Michigan's scoring for
the night.
Seven minutes later Heino iced
the game when he fired Scott Wat-
son's centering pass over Bieber's
left shoulder. But the Huskies
weren't finished yet.
Pulls a McLenna
Sophomore sensation George
Hill intercepted a pass at Michi-
gan's blue line and had only Butts
and Bieber to beat. In a rush, to
get back, Butts tripped and Hill
skated around him. Now he had
only Bieber to beat.
Bieber showed his inexperience
when he allowed Hill to fake him
out of position. Hill had nothing
to do but pop the puck into the
net, ending the Huskies' scoring.
for the second period.
Hill wasn't finished scoring yet,
however, for he scored at 14:15
of the third period to ice the cake
for the Huskies.
Matger of Time
The first period was a clean,
hard-checking affair, with neith-
er side drawing a penalty. The
teams seemed to be biding their
time feelin geach other out. It was
just a matter of time before the
battles broke out.
Tech's defenseman Norm Wim-
mer started the action at 2:46 of
the second period by tripping
Michigan captain Larry Babcock.
After a few assorted penalties,
stick duels started.
Morrison and Heino were sent
off in with 49 seconds left in the
second period when they began
swinging their sticks at each oth-
er behind Tech's net.
Mo Again
Morrison got another high stick-
ing penalty at 1:29 of the third
period. Four minutes later he re-
ceived his second and third pen-
alties of the night when he be-
gan pushing Jack Cole, and pro-
tested too vociferously to referee
Frenchie LaCross.
An attempt to pass out by Cole
that hit Pallante below the right
eye was the cause of the incident.
Pallante's eye closed almost im-
mediately, and his status as a
starter tonight is doubtful.
Ivanitz was also injured when
he was checked into the boards
behind the Michigan net midway
through the third period. He re-
injured his right shoulder for the
first time this season but is ex-
pected to return to the lineup to-
night.
Gary MacLellan was hit in the
mouth by a puck with about a
minute left to play in the game.
His injury required several stitches
in his right lip, but they said it
would not keep him out of the
lineup tonight.
Michigan had no injuries other
than a few bruises and hurt pride.
Michigan now is 1-5-1 in the
WCHA and 5-5-1 overall. The
Huskies are 3-3-1 in the confer-
ence.

Special To The Daily
COLUMBUS - Although each
game you win counts one in the
"won" column of the standings,
and each game you lose counts one
in the "lost" column, all games
aren't necessarily equal.
The game that Michigan's bas-
ketball team plays here tonight
is more unequal than most. In
fact, it's the most important one
yet for the Wolverines, and could
well indicate how the remainder
of the season will unfold.
Best Foe Yet
Sure, the Wolverines have
played some good teams on the
way to their 10-1 record - even
some excellent ones, such as Hous-
ton and Texas A&M. But no one
with the caliber or class of Ohio
State's Buckeyes has crossed their
path as yet, and the outcome of
tonight's battle may well go a long
way toward answering the ques-
tion almost everyone's asking:
"How good are they, anyway?"
Coach Dave Strack's charges
would seem to have two things
going against them right off the
back. First, senior forward John
Harris is a doubtful player, let
alone 'starter, due to an ankle in-
jury, and his rebounding strength
will be missed if he doesn't par-
ticipate. Second, the game takes
place in the Buckeyes' home court,
the St. John Arena, and a more
than slightly partisan throng of
13,000 will be urging their favor-
ites on to their 43rd (count 'em)
straight win on their home floor.
High-Class Competition
Ohio State's record so far this
season is 9-2, the losses coming at
the hands of Wichita and Illinois,
both highly respected fives. The
Buckeyes, in turn, have knocked
off such powers as St. Louis, West
Virginia and Minnesota.
At this point it is perhaps need-
less to state that, should Michi-
gan win tonight, they may be con-
sidered good.
By winning, the Wolverines
would also tie their record for the
best won-lost mark at the begin-.
ning of a cage season. Way back in
the 1918-19 campaign, a Michigan
basketball team won 11 of its first
12 contests, and only (!) the
Buckeyes keep them from match-
ing that feat.
Specialists
In their games thus far, Ohio
State has shown a good balance
of shooting, rebounding and de-
fensive work. It's a team' of spe-
cialists with each member a sound
player having at least one excep-
tional talent.
Take Gary Bradds, for instance.
The 6'8" center, while being an
adequate rebounder and defensive
man, is in there mainly to shoot.
The OSU offense is in part set up
to feed Bradds the ball, and it's
up to him to direct it through the
net, which he accomplishes with
remarkable consistency (69.4 per
cent last year, to lead the squad).
Bradds is third in Big Ten scoring
at present, and should prove a
challenge to rival center Bill Bun-
tin.
Outside Man
Diminutive (6') Dick Reasbeck,
who was good enough at guard
last year to win himself a start-
ing position in the Jerry Lucas
era, is the Buckeyes' other big
scoring threat. While Bradds is
primarily an inside shooter, Reas-
beck is OSU's "Mr. Outside," and
should provide plenty of work for
Michigan's back court men.
Senior forward Jim Doughty is
only 6'4", but he's the best re-
bound man on a team which gets
its share of rebounds. Doughty
also gets into double figures in the
scoring column in each game, and
he's the one who may make the
Wolverines feel the loss of Harris.
Defenseman
