Michigan was in control through
most of the first half, with a bal-
anced attack leading the Wolver-
ines to a 49-41 halftime advan-
tage.
Wilmore, Grabiec, and Brady hit
for 12 points apiece in the period
as Michigan diversified its attack
with effective outside and inside
shooting.
Grablec ruined Minnesota's
zone defense by hitting on five
outside jumpers in the first ten
minutes to put Michigan on top,

man-on-man defense after a con-
ference with their coach, and did
succeed in cooling off Grabiec, but
could not stifle the Michigan at-

Jim Brewer, the Gophers super-
sophomore, was ice-cold in the
half, making only one of nine
shots although he did snatch eight
rebounds. On the boards, too, the
Wolverines were dominant, with

Alone on top
MICHIGAN

By JOEL GREER
It was a happy group of Mich-
igan icers after their inspiring 4-3
victory o v e r Minnesota - Duluth
last night at the Coliseum.
Not only did they break a four-
game losing streak, they proudly
helped produce Coach Al Ren-
frew's 200th victory at Michigan.
For Renfrew it was a most grati-I
fying win as his team played its'
steadiestngame of the season. "It's
been a long time coming," the
coach shouted across the jubilant'
Michigan dressing room. "The kids
just played great."
Renfrew couldn't have been
happier as the personnel change
he made before Friday night's
game dramatically payed off. He
completely switched around the
line of Bernie Gagnon, Rick Mal-
lette, and Mike Jarry by moving
Gagnon from center to right wing,
Mallette from left side to center,
and Jarry from left wing to the
right side.
The combination accounted for
three of the four Michigan goals
putting Michigan ahead to stay
midway through the second period.
With Duluth leading 2-1 Mal-
lette grabbed a loose puck at the
Bulldog line and skated in alone
only to have his wrist shot from
ten feet out deflected away by
goalie Glenn Resch. But the Mon-
treal sophomore was not to be
denied as he stole the puck behind
the net.
Jarry took Mallette's pass in the
corner and found Brian Skinner
open at the point. Skinner slam-
med it home and the game was
tied 2-2 at 7:04.
Minutes later the line put
Michigan a h e a d with Duluth's
Pokey Trachsel serving a holding
penalty. Jarry hit Mallette with
a pass inside the circle to the right
of Resch. The puck bounced in
the air only to fall between the
skates of Mallette.
Gagnon somehow got a stick on
it and the puck found the net-
ting behind the bewildered goal-
tender.
They were on again at 15:05 to
put Michigan ahead 4-2 and it was
Mallette to bang it home this time.
The play, however, was made
by Punch Cartier as he streaked
over the Bulldog line. Skating
around defenseman Jim laertz,
Cartier circled behind the net and
delivered a goal mouth pass to
Mallette who completed the play.
Michigan, playing flawless hock-
ey throughout the remainder of

the second period and nearly all
of the third, didn't get the victory
without a last minute scare.
A fighting incident between
Michigan's Tom Marra and the
Bulldogs' Alan Young set the stage
for the final suspenseful moments,
Marra was moving along the
boards for a loose puck near the
Michigan b e n c h when Young
skated half way across the ice to
nail the Michigan defeseman.
Immediately thereafter, Marra
dropped his gloves and went after
the Duluth defensman. With the
entire Michigan contingent hold-
ing him back, Marra never could
get to Young who was awaiting
Marra with his stick raised ready
to do battle.
After a long delay for the offi-
cials to sort out the penalties, play
resumed with Marra getting four
minutes and Young getting the
original charging penalty in addi-
tion to four minutes worth of
roughing penalties.
W i t h Michigan outnumbered
five men to four Pokey Trachsel
brought Duluth within one after
taking a pass from the league's
leading scorer, Walt Ledingham.
In the final seconds, the Bull-
dogs nearly knotted the score as
they went in two-on-one. Just as
Ledingham was about to shoot,
Brian Siknner hooked him from
behind to break up the play.
A long time coming

Yost Field House crowd to their

track team displayed a new, win-
ning look last night as they made

victory over two midwestern rivals,
Indiana State and Iowa, yester-
day in Crisler Arena.
Because of an unusual scoring
procedure under which certain
Michigan squad members compet-
ed against only one of the two op-
posing teams, three sets of dual
competion scores were announced.
It made no difference to the Wol-
verines, who outpointed both op-
ponents. Iowa was an easy mark,
falling to the Michigan machine,
163.15 to 158.20; Indiana State

put up much more of a contest,
but also lost, 163.85 to 162.35.
Indiana State suffered from no
dearth of individual standouts,
copping the single highest score in
four of the six events. But neither
State nor Iowa possessed depth
like that of the Wolverines, who
scored above 27, an average of
nine-plus for each of the first
three team members, in each
event.
Superb winning scores turned in'
by Bob Johnson on the parallel
bars and high-bar man Ed How-
ard provided large margins which
more than made up for Michigan's
relatively small number of indi-
vidual victories.

arounder Rick McCurdy, who
rolled up a spectacular 54.1 total
in the six events, thus attaining a
personal, season high. Amazingly
consistent, McCurdy did not score
below 8.9 in any event, and was
followed closely in hte final sta-
