The only points were from es- capes. Neither wrestler was able to maintain control for more than 15 seconds. Way Cleared By STAN KUKLA Special To The Daily HOUGHTON - Michigan Tech spotted Michigan a two-goal sec- ond period lead and then came roaring back with three goals in the first ten minutes of the third period to down the Wolverines 4-3 in a WCHA game last night,,'seal- ing the coffin on Michigan's dead WCHA hopes. Down and Out Thus the way was cleared for Stowell who put the meet away. Barden's match was sort of an added attraction since Michigan was almost assured of the win. A pin by Jaklich would have meant a tie for the meet since five points are awarded for a fall; three for a decision and two to each man for a tie. Yesterday's victory was the sec- ond in three starts for the Wol- verines, and the first convincing victory. A 14-12 loss to Penn State and a 13-12 win over Pitt were the Wolverines' previous action. Pulled Surprise The Wildcats had pulled a sur- prise by defeating two of the lead- ing Big Ten contenders, Michigan State and Minnesota, and yester- day's win makes Michigan's chances in the conference meet look even better. The next Michigan meet will take place after exams when the Wolverines travel to Minnesota. MICHIGAN Bieber Morrison Rodgers Babcock Cole Pendlebury G D D C F F MICH.

MICHIGAN TECH MICHIGAN Saves: Bauman (T) Bieber (M) 0 1 3-4 0 3 0-3 7 7 7--1 14 8 8-30 __ After a scoreless first period which saw both teams checking close and waiting for the other to make the mistake, Michigan's Gordon Wilkie opened the scoring at 3:05 of the second period. The goal was Wilkie's first of the WCHA season and his fourth of the year. Last year Wilkie was voted sophomore of the year when he scored 18 goals. The goal came after Gary Butler received a pass out from a face off and fired the puck at goalie Gary Bauman. Bauman made the save but was hopelessly out of position when Wilkie banged home the rebound. Twelve minutes later, Huskie George Hill got loose and went in all alone on goalie Bill Bieber to tie the score. Hill maked Bieber and slipped the puck around him. Two minutes later Wilkie notched his second score of the night. Wilkie tipped Ross Morrison's blue line slap shot over Bauman's outstretched stick. Butler picked up Michigan's final goal of the evening, after stealing the puck along the boards to the left of the Tech net. But- ler then skated around the boards, broke toward the left corner of the net, skated across the goal mouth, and lifted the puck over Bauman's legs. The Wolverines almost scored again at the start of the third period while Tech's Gary Begg was sitting out a nelbowing penalty., Captain Larry Babcock skated in alone on Bauman and had him beat, but the shot rang off the goal post but stayed out. "That was a real turning point of the game," moaned Michigan Coach Al Renfrew. "If Larry's shot would've gone in, we would've been ahead 4-1, and they'd never have fought back." But the shot didn't go in and Butler was waved off at 3:14 for checking in the offensive zone. It took Tech only 13 seconds to score after Begg returned to the ice. Scott Watson, attempting to center the puck from behind Michigan's net, hit Bieber's pads instead. The puck bounced in and' the score was 3-2. John Ivanitz scored the equal- izer at 5:00 of the third period by sheer determination. He, Begg, and Norm Winter were stationed right in front of Bieber. The trio kept batting at the puck until Ivanitz finally scored. Mike Drdper scored on a fluke goal at 9:14, to drive the last nail into the coffin. Hill had centered the puck and Bieber kicked out his shot and dove for the rebound. The puck eluded him and an- other Michigan player dove for it, but the puck squirted away from the two. Finally Draper batted at it and the puck floated through, the air, landing on Bieber's back, just as he wis rising to his knees. The puck .rolled down his back and just made it over the goal line. The Wolverines almost made it back into the game, however, when Butler got a breakaway. Bauman refused to be drawn out of posi- tion and took the puck between his pads at the right corner of I net. That came with 23 secor left to play. Butler scored what seemed to the tying goal with about ten si onds left. He beat Bauman with slap shot from about 15 feet o but Michigan was called for bei off side and the game ended. Neither side received any ma, injuries in the game. Defense= Wayne Kartusch was hit in t ankle again and received a sev< bruise. Michigan is now mired in t basement of the league with a 6-1 record. Tech is now 4-3-1.
