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. Another Loss TECH Bauman Pallante Begg Hill M. Draper D.

TECH 2 2 1-5 MICHIGAN 0 1 0-1 Saves: Bauman (T) 11 6 11-28 Bieber (M) 8 7 9--29 By MIKE BLOCK 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.
