Its modest one-game winning streak was decisively snapped by Illinois here last night, 90-61, the Illini's most lopsided victory over Michigan in eight years.

The inevitable result was their 12th defeat in 13 Big Ten games. "We got enough shots - they just didn't go in," has typified more than one Michigan defeat this season. Last night the losers took 73 shots to Illinois' 68. Mich- igan hit 21 field goals for a paltry 28.4 per cent, and Illinois 37 for an excellent 54.4 mark. The lights went out in Huff Gym, as far as the Wolverines were concerned, soon after the opening minutes of the game. With the score 4-4, the Illini bucketed five quick points to make it 9-4. Then Michigan went into a pro- tracted shooting slump, and with each passing minute it became obvious Michigan was not about to make the Illini their second Con- ference victim of the season. At halftime it was 40-28. Forward Govoner Vaughn doomed Michigan after the inter- mission by canning nine out of nine field attempts in leading Illi- nois to a 50-point half. Vaughn ended up with 30 points, but Mich- igan's John Tidwell did him one better. Tidwell's 31 tallies accounted for half of Michigan's points and extended his Michigan one-season scoring record to 502. Lovell Farris, the other half of the Michigan offense, scored 18 I points and was instrumental in establishing Michigan supremacy on the backboards. Coach Bill Perigo's beleaguered squad, inept in its offense, was not. without defensive troubles, either.' Michigan tried the same tight zone defense that worked so well against Horace Walker and his Spartan teammates Saturday. ButJ the Illini, unlike MSU, are cap- able of breaking a zone with sharp outside shooting, which is what they did. The Wolverines held Illini neme- sis Mannie Jackson to six points, but all the other starters for the home team hit in double figures. Especially troublesome was Lee Frandsen, who pushed in 15 points and led the Illini ball-hawking crew. Michigan once again played without the services of captain- guard Terry Miller, who did not feel well Sunday. He almost surely will start when the Wolverines travel to Iowa for Saturday's cli- max to a grim season. Big Ten Standings W L Pcts.

RENFREW IMPRESSED BY DENVER: The Best College Hockey Team? !; (Continued from Page 1) net - which would have left them two short at the final buzzer. Walker started the late outburst with his second goal of the night at the outset of the final session, a 35-foot drive from the left face- off circle. Before he ended the rout with his third goal at 19:18, wingers John MacMillan and Bruce Walker beat Coyle from point-blank range. Fans Leave Some fans were starting to head for the exits when defenseman George Konik drilled a shot from the point. Walker cut in frmo the corner and steered the puck past Coyle from the edge of the crease. "It was one of our finest games of the season," admitted Arm- strong in the noisy Denver dress- ing room after the game. "Of course, we're expecting a much harder time tomorrow night. This team (Michigan ) can play real good hockey. The Michigan locker-room pro- vided a gloomy contrast. With three more games to go, Renfrew is still puzzled by the uhpredict- able performances and disastrous letdowns of a team which he said ,,could be great" after .sweeping the Tech series in January. While Denver was skating hard and passing confidentially, the Wolverines' offense was conspicu- ous by contrast (or absence) Un- certainty marked the infrequent through offensive thrusts, and the limited defensive success was the result of frantic individual efforts rather than team cooperation.

This is what Michigan hockey coach Al Renfrew had to say for the Denver Pioneers after watch- ing his Wolverines get skated into the ice by the team that is cur- rently riding atop the standings of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. A quiet coach in a quiet dress- ing room, Renfrew ruefully shook his head, "they skated like H." 37 16-24 23 90 HALFTIME: IIl. 40, Mich. 28 U ADLER SOCKS are available at CWILD'SA State Street on the Campus When asked to compare the Pioneers to Michigan Tech, the team that Denver has been see- sawing with for the WCHA lead, Renfrew said, "There's no com- parison, Denver's the better club." Denver, touted since early sea- son as the team to beat in the WCHA and perhaps the best col- lege group ever put together, started slowly but has rolled since Christmas. In that period of time they have skated to 11 wins, one loss and two ties. In that skein are three wins and two ties to Olympic teams, including a win and a tie with the United States squad that won the Squaw Valley title. When Al Renfrew says, "they've got some great players and so-o-o-o much depth," he knows what he's talking about. He's talking about Bill Master- ton, who had 18 goals and 35 assists going into last night's game (and picked up a goal and two more assists against the Wol- verines for a total of 56 points). And he's talking about George Konik who has picked up 21 as- sists as a defenseman and thus setting a Denver team record for a backman. Indiana Spoils Ohio State's Win Streak; Bellamy's 24 Points Spark 99-83 Victory 4 And he's talking about Jerry Walker who now has two hat tricks to his credit in his last three games. And he's talking about goalie George Kirkwood who has allowed five goals in his last five games.

Ohio State was ranked No. 2 nationally in Associated-Press rat- ings, Indiana No. 12. A 96-95 defeat at Ohio State in January, and the suspension of play-making regular Herbie Lee earlier today for undisclosed mis- or conduct, only fired up the Indiana team. The Hoosiers hit 20 of 33 shots from the field in the first half, 60.6 per cent, and had a 52-38 lead at' the intermission. For the entire game, they hit 37 of 70 from the field for .529. Ohio State got 81 shots but made only 34 for .420. Indiana had five shooters in double figures, topped by 6-foot- 102 Walt Bellamy with 24 points, Bob Wilkinson with 21 and Gary Long, Lee's substitute, with 19. Bellamy sat out over eight minutes of the first half after committing three personal fouls. Ohio State had the game's two top scorers in brailliant sophomore Jerry Lucas with 27 and John Havlicek with 25 but no other Buck was in double figures. s s # EVANSTON, Ill.-- Northwestern climebd into a third place tie with idle Minnesota and assured itself of a first division finish in the Big Ten basketball race with a 73-59 victory over Wisconsin last night. Floyd Campbell led the Wildcat attack with 30 points, getting 20 of them in the first half which ended in a 37-3 7tie. Sophomore Frank Burks kept Wisconsin in contention by scoring 16 points in the first half but Northwestern broke the game wide open midway in the second half to win with ease. CINCINNATI-Cincinnati, in the stretch toward a third straight Missouri Valley Conference Bas- ketball championship, defeated Tulsa without difficulty, 110-64, last night. Oscar Robertson sank 43 points. * * * PEORIA - Sophomore Chester Walker poured in 37 points to set a one-year Bradley scoring record last night as he led the Braves to an 85-80 victory over Wichita in a Missouri Valley Conference Bas- ketball game. AMES, Iowa - Bob Stoy scored 10 points in seven minutes to end a Missouri rally and give Iowa State a 92-69 Big Eight basket- ball victory last night. Missouri, trailing 40-33 at the half, threatened to go ahead in the next four minutes as Joe Scott led a surge which cut the gap to 43-42. Then Stoy, 6-foot-7 sophomore making his second start, took over and pushed Iowa State safely in front. Cyclone reserves padded the margin. SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame's NCAA-tourney bound bas- ketball team closed out its regu- lar season last night with a 76-64 victory over Creighton Univer- sity's Bluejays. After three early shifts in the lead, the. Irish went ahead 11-10 on a pair of free throws by soph- omore Eddie Schnurr and stayed in front the rest of the way. They led 41-30 at the half. Creighton matched Notre Dame's 24 baskets but the Ne- braska team was charged with 28 personal fouls. Notre Dame made only 28 of 44 free throws, Creighton 16 of 23. Sophomore John Dearie was high scorer for the Irish with 19 points and Dick Harvey led Creighton with 18. I A L 'KWL KROSSWORD No. 5 ACROSS 45. Villa d'..- 46. Unload AI u..ao n...4.0 1.
