Michigan has 14 of its remain-1
ing 22 points at home, including
tonight's, two with State. But1
Minnesota, which has only ten
points now, half as many as Mich-
igan, must finish the season with
an eight point series against the
Wolverines in Ann Arbor.
And Colorado College has only;
16 points remaining, only four
of which are at home. The Tigers
likewise have a poor road record
which is 0-9.
So, after losing 16 straight
points in Duluth and Denver at
the beginning of January, it looks
like the Wolverines are definite
contenders for a playoff spot,
after a. one year absence.
But first, they must get past
the Spartans. Coach Amo Bes-
sone's squad, almost assured of
making the post-season portion of
the schedule, is trying to get into
the top four teams, which means
State would be a host team for
the first round of the playoffs.
In three previous games this
season between Michigan and
Michigan State, the Spartans have
come away with two of the vic-
tories. The Wolverines won the
first one over the Thanksgiving
break in East Lansing, 5-1. The
Spartans won the following night,
4-2 in Ann Arbor and again at
State, 7-2, on January 19.
In that last game. 30 penalties
were called on the two teams, 20
of them against Michigan. two
players were ejected, and Michi-
gan lost a precious five minute
power nlay when Bob Falconer
was called for a foolish charging
penalty.
I they *ant to win this one, the
Wolverines are going to have to
concentrate on keeping as many

players on the ice as is possible.
Something of a similar situa-
tion occurred last Friday when an
all - out brawl developed in the
game between Michigan and Colo-
rado at the Coliseum. Freshman'
forward Randy Neal was given an
automatic game disqualification
for his participation in the fights
and junior Michael Jarry was sus-
pended by coach Al Renfrew for
disciplinary reasons.
It was reported that Jarry's
part in the skirmish included bit-
ing the hand of Tiger goalie Doug
Schum. Supposedly he also acted
quite indignant when none of his
teammates entered in to help out.
So with only 14 players ready
for action on Saturday (Pete Dun-
bar was and still is out with a
broken arm), Michigan had Just
enough members to field, or ice,
as it were, three lines, two pairs
of defensemen, and goalie Karl.
Bagnell.
Bagnell, by the way, a senior
from Orangeville, Ontario, had 28
and 35 saves on Friday and Sat-
urday, respectively to raise his
season total to .899. He should
pass the 1000 mark either this
Saturday at Houghton or next
weekend in Ann Arbor when
Michigan hosts first place Wis-
consin.
Senior forward Bernie Gagnon,
who will again be facing his cou-
sin, Gilles, comes into tonight's
action with 25 goals and 16 as-
sists. This includes his, hat trick
last Saturday night against Colo-
rado College.

CANTON, Ohio (WP) - Lamar
Hunt, the founder of the Ameri-
can Football League, modern-era
stars Gino Marchetti and Ollie
Matson and early-day passing
standout Clarence "Ace" Parker
iiwere elected yesterday to Pro
Football's Hall of Fame.
The AFL was born in 1959,
---___-__ when Hunt, frustrated by at-
tempts to secure a franchise in
the NFL, founded the league that
carried on a bitter six-year war
with the older NFL before merg-
ing in 1966.
The AFL's arrival on the
scene, the war that ensued and
the merger that followed all
played their role in the growth
ofdthe sport during then1960s-
and it is Hfor his part in that
growth that Hunt was honored.

Hunt, who is the owner and
president of the Kansas City
Chiefs, thus becomes the first
person identified mainly with the
AFL to gain entry into the Hall
of Fame.
Marchetti, a standout defen-
sive end for Baltimore in the
1950s and owner of Gino's Res-
taurant, voted the best at, his
position on the NFL's Alltime
Team, and Matson, a versatile
running back who played for four
different teams, both were elected
in their first year of eligibility.
Parker, who played for the
Brooklyn Dodgers and New York
Yankees in the late 1930s and
early 1940s was one of the best
passers during a period in which
pro football evolved from a
ground - oriented game to the
pass-punctuated game of today.
The four new members of the
Hall of Fame officially will be in-
ducted here in July at a date to
be announced.

NEW YORK (P)-Catcher Josh
Gibson and first baseman Wal-
ter "Buck" Leonard, homer-hit-
ting teammates known as the
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig of the
Negro Leagues, were elected to
Baseball's Hall of Fame Tuesday.
Gibson, who died at age 35 in
1947, was a unanimous selection,
of a nine-man committee screen-
ing the stars of the Negro Leagues
banned from playing in the ma-
jors because of their color at the
height of their careers. Leonard.
received seven votes - the mini-
mum required for enshirement.
Two other players fell far short
by receiving only one vote each
-John Henry "Pop" Lloyd a
shortstop and first baseman, and
Willie Foster, a left-handed pitch-
er. The only other player voted
in by the special committee is
pitcher Satchel Paige, elected last
year.
Gibson andLeonard will be for-
mally inducted Aug. 7 at the
shrine in Cooperstown, N.Y., that
houses the sport's immortals
along with Sandy Koufax, Yogi
Berra, Early Wynn, Lefty Gomez,
Ross Youngs and Will Harridge,
all elected last month.
Gibson and Leonard were the
I

'

heart of the Murderers Row for
the Pittsburgh - based Home-
stead Grays from the mid-1930s
to mid-1940s just as Ruth and
Gehrig were for the New York
Yankees a few years earlier.
Gibson, like Paige, already has
become somewhat of a folk leg-
end, credited with as many as 632
homers in his career and with
single season totals of 84 and 75,
although admittedly record-keep-
ing was rather informal during
his homer - hammering days.
Leonard, however, has rarely
been publicized. "Now the vice
president of the Rocky Mount,
N.C., team in the Class A Caro-
lina League, Leonard didn't hit
with the tape-measure power of
Gibson but is supposed to have
amassed as many homers.
"Josh was so overwhelming-
he hit the ball so far-and Paige
was so fast that they were the
glamor guyys of the league," he-
calls Monte Irvin, who played in
the Negro Leagues and now is an
assistant to Commissioner Bowie
Kuhn.
"But Buck was only a step be-
hind. He just didn't get the pub-
licity., He was the same kind of
player as Gibson. He didn't hit
the ball as far as Josh could but
he hit it as often for the home
run.".
But good as Leonard was, Gib-

son was better, just as in any
Ruth-Gehrig comparison.
"Josh was the best hitter in
the black leagues," Irvin said. "He
was as strong as two men. He had
a classic swing, like Ted Wil-
liams. Everybodyy raved what a
great catcher, Roy Campanella
was, but he wasn't as good as
Josh and Campy would be the
first to admit it."
Paige singled Gibson out as
the best hitter he ever faced, in-
cluding many Hall of Famers he
pitched against during his barn-
storming days against major
league all-star teams.
"Josh was the greatest hitter
I ever pitched to and I pitched to
everybody," Paige said unequioc-
ally.
The ban that kept players such
as Paige, Gibson and Leonard out
of the majors prior to Robinson's
breaking of the color line in 1947
also threatened to keep them out
of the Hall of Fame because they
could not meet the requirement
of 10 years major league service.
That was rectified two years
ago when the special committee
was selected to judge the talent in
the Negro Leagues and elect those
qualified to take their place as
equals in the Hall of Fame.
