Thus a dejected Al Renfrew tried to put as bright a picture as pos- sible on what had to have been one of the Wolverines worst per- formances of the year. The final tally was 5-1, Wisconsin, and that was a good indication of difference in last night's quality of Dlav daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: CHUCK DRUKIS / f 4 f i RA }i{ 1 1 1i 1 J i With two minutes gone Mich- Wisconsin outskated, outshot, igan's defense allowed Wisconsin and outhustled Michigan nearly all to take a puck right away from night long s the Wolverines seem- them and then Badger Pat Lannan ed totally lethargic.

What came for Michigan was frustration. Halfway through the first period Michigan found them- selves two men up as the Badgers' Brian Erickson and Tom Machow- ski both went out within 28 sec- onds of one another. Almost immediately the Wolver- ines put the puck in the net but the referees disallowed it, claim- ing the whistle had already blown. The Wolverines still had a minute to work-two men up-but they failed to convert and that appeared to take some of the spark out of them. Things quickly went from bad to worse for Michigan in the third period as Wisconsin's, Lloyd Bent- ley took a slap shot . that Karl Bagnell deflected out in front. Everyone seemed suddenly im- mobilized and Bentley skated in and shot the puck around the sprawled Bagnell. Halfway through the second period the Wolverines garnered their lone tally as Paul-Andre Paris dug the puck out from under Badger goalie Jim Makey and slipped it in unassisted. Bob Falconer, who injured his ankle last week against Michigan Tech hurt it again in the opening moments of the third period and had to be assisted off. He later returned and immeidately rein- jured his leg, this time going off for good. Bagnelll, alas, could not afford the luxury of seeking refugee in the locker room and so when a Bentley slap shot hit him in the chest he was quickly repaired and returned to the ice to finish out the game. Spare goalie Terry La- jeunesse started to warm up but returned to the bench as Bagnell continued his streak of having played every minute of every Michigan game this year. His first save of the game was his 1,000 of the year, far ahead of anyone else in the WCHA. -Daily-Rolfe Tessem PAUL ANDRE PARIS (15) slaps the puck past Wisconsin-goalie Jim Makey as Bernie Gagnon (7) looks on.

After Hubbard's apparent first period takedown was disallowed' the match turned into a tense stalemate with each wrestler gain- ing one escape point on his turn to start a period in the down position. The only difference was that Hubbard 'gained his escape quickly, . while Lowinger stayed on the bottom long enough to give Hubbard an extra point for riding time and a 2-1 victory.

Gary Ernst provided most of the match's excitement when he pin- ned his Wisconsin heavyweight counterpart, Randy Frokjer, in 1:16. Ernst fired out quickly and garnered a takedown in the first twenty seconds. After that it was just a matter of time before Ernst recorded the fall. Jim Brown and Bill Davids did just what was expected of them, both recording lopside superior decision victories. Brown came within an inch of pinning Badger Jeff Saggau in the first period and had him on the ropes throughout the match in chalking up a 15-1 triumph. Davids too was in con- trol all of the way, coming closest to pinning Larry Gonzalez in the waning seconds of their bout. Lon Harris almost preceded Ernst's pin with one of his own. In the first thirty seconds, he gained a takedown and a near fall that came only on eyelash from being a pin. But then Harris slacked off and played patsy with Wisconsin's woes liI-Jim Brown (M) defeated Jeff Saggau (W), 15-1 126--Bl Davids (M) defeated Larry Gonzales (w), 19-4 134-Rick Neff (M) defeated Dale Spies (W), 11-6 142-Bill Schuck (M) defeated Rick Schoenemann (W), 7-1 150--Jerry Hubbard (M) defeated Rick Lowinger (W), 2-1 158-Mitch Mendrygal (M) defeated John Skaar (W), 3-0 167-Ed Vatch (W) defeated John Ryan (M), 7-0 177-Pete Leiskau (,W) defeated Dave Curby (M), 4-0 19--Lon Harris (M) defeated Joe wade (W), 11-2 Hwy-Gary Ernst (M) pinned Ranfty Frokjer (W), 1:16 k, Badgers Wisconsin's Joe Wade until the final minute of the match. Har- ris then came on strong again racking up two more takedowns to push the final t.o 11-2. The Big Ten's- runner-up 177 pounder from last season, Pete Leiskau of Wisconsin, turned in one of the Badgers two wins by taking Michigan freshman Dave Curby 4-0. Wolverine Rick Neff nearly captured a third straight super- ior decision victory when he downed Dale Spies 11-6 at 134' lbs. Realizing he had 4 chance for a superior decision, Neff made some bold moves in the third per- iod which backfired. Normally he would not have taken such risks, but with the chance of gain- ing an extra match t point they were well worth the risk. Bill Schuck and Mitch Men- drygal rounded out the con- quest of Wisconsin with impres- sive 7-1 and 3-0 wins. Michigan coachsRick Bay was particularly pleased with Hub- bard's win. As he put it, "Jerry needed a victory tonight to have any chance of gaining the seed he deserves in the Big Ten meet next Saturday." Bay was very pleased with the ovarell performance of his squad in what he called "a vast im- provement over last Saturday's match at Michigan State." He also claimed that "had we wrest- led, this well last weekend, we would have given Michigan State a much better contest." Floridians fly UNIONDALE, N.Y.-Mack Cal- yin's 32 points led the Floridians to a record 143-122 American Basketball Association victory over the New York Nets last night. Calvin hit six field goals and Warren Jabali, who connected for 29 points, bombed a trio of three- point baskets as the winners pour- e in 44 points in the second period and raced to an 80-56 half- time bulge over New York. The 44 points were the most ever allowed by the Nets in a single period and'the 80 points marked another record for points allowed in one half by New York. The Floridians hit 51 per cent from the field for the first half to assume control of the game. They led by as much as 32 points during the third quarter.
