If he did, he has some pretty valuable notes. But if he spent his time study- ing 6-11 Jim Chones who single- handedly destroyed Michigan with 24 points, 18 rebounds, and seven blocked shots (not to mention sev- en goal-tending calls), believe it or not, he was studying the wrong man. After all. nobody expected Chones to be stopped, at least as long as Michigan's big man, Ken Brady, was recovering from knee surgery, But face it, there is an- other difference in the two teams, besides their talent. The coaches. The man Orr should have been studying was Al McGuire, who just has to be the nation's best coach. Even neglect- ing recruiting, which no one would dispute McGuire is a master of, the way he runs his team is some- thing to behold. Sure, Chones hit on 11 of 23 shots but to get a rebound away from him is almost impossible, un- less you happen to be the only big man in the city of Milwaukee, who is better than Chones, and your name is Jabbar. SUNDAY SPORTS NIGHT EDITORS: ELLIOT and SANDI and JOE NORTH DAKOTA GOALIE Dave Murphy (1) sprawls on the ice as he successfully stops a shot by Michigan's Bob Falconer (22) in Friday night's 9-6 Wolverine triumph. The Wolverines won again last nigth also, 4-2. BAGNELL STARS: SayPucksft By JOEL GREER Karl Bagnell couldn't have picked a better night to turn in his finest performance of the season. The s e n i o r goaltender's exceptional play last night led the Michigan icers to their second straight triumph over North Dakota, 4-2. "Karl was just fantastic," ex- claimed Michigan coach Al Ren- frew after the game. ' Time and time again, Bagnell made the big save until Punch Cartier's empty- net goal in the last minute clinch- ed the victory. Rick Mallette scored what proved, to be the winning goal at the 13:12 mark of the final period breaking a 2-2 tie. Mallette drilled a wrist shot over Dave Murphy's left shoulder after grabbing a loose puck along the boards. "I was going to, pass it over to,., Bob (Falconer) but the defense- man fell downand I had an open shot," mentioned Mallette. Re- ferring to the way North Dakota carried the play to Michigan all night, Mallette added.

Michigan came right back to grab the lead again as Gagnon sent a long pass to Michel Jarry who had slitheredthrough the {tNoDak defense.

North Dakota knotted the score for the final time early in the! final period as Dennis Johnson was left unguarded in front of Bagnell. Johnson's quick shot found an opening through Bag- nell's pads. The victory gave the Wolverines a 5-3 league record and a 7-3 eS I.U. t (Lf overall mark. The only injury of the night occurred when freshman Paul- Andre Paris was crashed into the boards late in the second period. Paris had to be helped from the ice and only returned for a brief spell early in the third period. The Michigan icers will com- pete in the IMA Hockey Tourna- ment in Flint, Michigan on De- cember 28 and 29. Other teams competing will be Bowling Green, Windsor, and Western Ontario, a team Michigan has beaten twice this year al- ready, 10-4 and 3-2. ' Last year the Wolverines trav- elled to Detroit to take place in the Great Lakes Invitational Tournament. Michigan went to the finals but was beaten there by Michigan Tech, 7-2. The Wolverines' first games of the New Year will be at Duluth January 7 and 8 when the icers take on the University of Minne- sota at Duluth. It will be Michi- gan's first eight point series.

SCORE BY PERIODS 1 2 3 F MICHIGAN 1 1 2-4 Marquette played team basket- ball for the entire game, and that's a credit to the coach when a team has a super-star like Chones. Mar-1 cus Washington rifled passes and threw moves all around the arena. And McGuire's field general, the guy he puts in to run the teaml when it starts to sputter, did a tremendous job. His name is also McGuire - Allie, big Al's son, and1 he is as good a play maker and team leader as anyone around. McGuire Jr., and Washington connected for five assists apiece and there would have been more if the official statistician knew how to count right. Washington threw in 17 points for the War- riors, while Bob Lackey chalked up 15 and 6-9 Larry McNeill tossed in ten. Michigan, which was never in the game, was led by Henry Wil- nore's 12 points and 12 from Ernie Johnson. Wilmore had to take a lot of abuse from the raucous crowd, be- cause of the big build-up he got in all the pre-game prose. A fea- ture in the Marquette program had Chones telling all about how great Wilmore was. "There's no doubt about it," Chones is quot- ed, "he's the best little man in the country. "He does everything well. Right now, he's the best one on one player in the country." So the game started and the roof fell in on the Wolverines. Gettitng the ball in the basket was a minor problem compared to the problem of getting the ball in bounds after a Marquette basket. Set for a real tough battle, Al McGuire had his team ready for the fast-breaking Wolverines and the Warriors opened up in a full court zone press. Not only did it stop Michigan's fast break, with which it scored just two baskets all night,, but it stopped Michigan, and Orr'just couldn't find any- thing to do about it. He tried substituting more than he had, but that didn't help much. He tried conceding the height ad- vantage to Marquette and substi- tuting Terry Tyler for John Lock- ard to give his team an edge in speed, but that didn't help much either. When Michigan was finally able to get the ball in play, it didn't have much chance to score. Ter- ribly outsized the Wolverines' front line of Johnson (6-8), Lock- ard (6-5), and Wilmore (6-3%/) could hardly contest for rebounds with Chones, McNeill and Lackey (6-6). That meant that Michigan could have just one shot at the basket at a time. But once the shot was in the air it had to get by a pretty big barrier, the three foot long paw of Chones. The Wolverines shot 27 per cent, a dismal figure compared to Marquette's 58 per cent. Wayne Grabiec, a 53 per cent outside shooter, made only one of eight field goal attempts, and only three were from the outside. In fact, all night, no more than three shots from more than 12 feet fell HOOSIERS NIP KENTUCKY: Bo bca ts upend Bcil in the hoop for Michigan. It finally got to the point where all of Michigan's scoring fell into the hands of Wilmore who, with all outside shooting cut off, had to go underneath and try to muscle the ball in against Chones, McNeill and Lackey. The fans booed Henry when he went to the foul line three times in the second half. They booed when he was called for traveling or when he missed a shot. But they cheered like mad when the shot by Lackey at the buzzer was ruled good, and Al McGuire came rushing on the court to hug his team. He's one hell of a coach, that Al McGuire.
