DETROIT-Gordie Howe scored
the 850th goal of his National"
Hockey League career as the De-
troit Red Wings skated to a 5-3
victory over the Minnesota North
Stars last night and climbed out
of the East Division cellar.
Howe's goal came on a power
play at 17:39 of the second period
and gave Detroit a 4-2 lead. The
850 total includes playoff goals,
and the tally gave the 41-year-old
superstar his 22nd consecutive 20-
goal season.
The triumph pulled Detroit into
sixth place, one point ahead of
idle Vancouver.
The teams traded first-period
goals with Jude Trouin scoring
his 13th of the season for the
North Stars at 6:46 and Alex Del-
vecchio netting his 14th at 13:37
for Detroit.
A goal by Gordon Labossiere,
his 16th, gave Minnesota a 2-1
lead at 2:04 of the second period,
but then the Wings pulled away
with consecutive goals by Phil Col-
lins, Nick Libbett and Howe.
Detroit's final tally was by re-
cently-acquired Red B e r e n s o n
whose slap shot at three minutes
of the final period slithered past
goalie Cesar Maniago.
Bobby Rousseau added a goal
for the North Stars at 9:41 of the
final period.

rammed home a 10-foot shot at
10:13 of the third period to gain
the Buffalo Sabres a 6-6 tie with the
Pittsburgh Penguins in a wild Na-

night.
It was Marshall's second goal of
the game. His first, at 15:21 of the
second period, climaxed a Buffalo
rally that saw the Sabres tally four
straight goals within six minutes
for a 5-4 lead to erase an early 3-0
Pittsburgh lead.

By JOEL GREER
It will be a very nostalgic week-
end for Michigan hockey followers
beginning tonight as the Wolver-
ines renew a hockey series that
began nearly 50 years ago.
Tonight's game with Notre Dame
marks the first time the two teams
have met since the early 1920's and
it will also be Michigan's 1000th
varsity game since records initially
were kept in the 1922-23 season.
But the Michigan-Notre Dame ice
hockey rivalry began before that
as the Fighting Irish first played
the game on the campus at South
Bend in 1919. Father William Cun-
ningham, a figure skater at the
time, noticed two students ventur-
ing down to St. Joseph's Lake with
hockey sticks in hand and before
long Rev. Cunningham was coach-
ing the first Notre Dame hockey
team.
Notre Dame's first big year came
during the 1921-22 season when
Father Cunningham helped formu-
late the Midwest Hockey Confer-I
ence. In addition to Notre Dame,
Michigan, Michigan State, Michi-
gan Tech, Wisconsin and Minnesota
were represented in the Conference
* and the Irish came out on top win-
ning nine of their ten games.

Tigers' Hiller
DETROIT (o') - The Detroit Ti-
gers announced yesterday the loss
~l for an indefinite period of t i m e
lefthander John Hiller who suf-
fered a heart attack Jan. 11 at his
home in Duluth, Minn.
In making the announcement,
the club said it was notified of
Hiller's illness Monday but had
not received confirmation of the
Duluth diagnosis until yesterday.
Hiller is no longer hospitalized,
but he will be placed on the dis-
abled list at the start of the sea-
son, according to Tiger General
Manager Jim Campbell.
Doctors at Ford hospital in De-
troit described the attack as a
* small coronary occlusion and have
asked for a re-evaluation exami-
nation about May 1 to determine
Hiller's future status.
A Canadian who spent f i v e
seasons in the minors before join-
ing the Tigers, in June, 1967, Hill-
er has a 23-19 overall m a ior
'. league record.
Hiller said he was unaware of
~the seriousness of his illness, and
therefore hadn't notified the Tig-
ers until Monday.
"I was never in any great pain,"
he said from his Duluth home. "I
was surprised and shocked to find
it would take this long to recov-
er. I'm depressed, but other than
that I feel OK."

But Notre Dame hockey floun- an effort to give Karl Bagnell

ued at the conclusion of the 1927
season, with -the Michigan-Notre
Dame series tied at two games
apiece.
Hockey at Michigan grew at a
much slower pace but it has con-
tinued uninterrupted since the ear-
ly 1920's. Michigan didn't become
a national power until the late
1940's when Vic Heyliger came on-
to the scene as the Michigan coach.
He directed the 1947-48 edition of
the Wolverines to their first na-
tional championship and later
added five more national crowns in-
cluding three straight from 1951
through 1953. Present Coach Al
Renfrew's 1963-64 squad gave the
Wolverines their seventh NCAA
title which is more than any other
school.
The non-conference battle for the
Wolverines couldn't have come at
a better time as they are current-
ly plagued by injuries. Rick Jack-
son, Punch Cartier and Bob Fal-
coner all received injuries in last
weekend's double-defeat at Wis-
consin.
"Rick Jackson won't be ready,"
affirmed assistant coach Phil
Gross, "but we're not sure about
Punch (Cartier)."
Both Jackson and Cartier suf-
fered shoulder injuries and Car-
tier has "skated during practice
but he has had no contact work
this week," Gross mentioned. "Be-
ing that it is a non-conference game
he may sit out tonight."
Falconer, who developed a char-
lie-horse during last Friday's game
should be ready, Gross added.
Bil Busch, the senior goaltender
from Ann Arbor will make his sec-
ond start of the season tonight inC
Hoope I

Notre Dame is coming into the
game with a 9-12-2 overall record
including a 5-11-2 slate against
WCHA competition. Notre Dame
Coach Lefty Smith has been pleas-
ed with the squad's overall play
but has been disappointed with
the Irish's scoring output. "We've
had good goaltending from Dick
Tomasoni, and the defense has
been adequate, but we have not
gotten the goal production we
should."

WILMORE HOLDS THIRD:
McGinnis, Brown to-

By The Associated Press
Official Big Ten statistics re-
leased yesterday presaged a two-
player scrap for the individual
scoring crown between Indiana's
star sophomore, George McGinnis,
and Iowa's veteran Fred Brown.
McGinnis this week recaptured
the lead from Brown as the
brawny Hoosier pumped in 71
points in two games for a 31.7
league season average. Brown
dropped a shade behind at 31.1.
Michigan's fine soph, Henry Wil-
more, skidded from the 30-point
plateau for the first time with a
27.4 mark.
McGinnis held the rebound lead,
averaging 15.8 retrieves, with aj
trio of other sophs closing in on
the Hoosier. They include Mich-
igan State's Bill Kilgore with 13.2;
Michigan's Ken Brady with 12.9,
and Minnesota's Jim Brewer with
C 12.5.

Michigan, playing host tomorrow
to Minnesota, 2-6, is still the Big
Ten scoring leader with an 89.1
average. Next is Indiana, 5-2, with
87.0 and lowly Northwestern, 1-6,
is third with 84.2.
Ohio State, host to Northwest-
ern tomorrow night, continues No.
1 on defense with an average yield
of 72.4, followed by Illinois, 4-3,
with 77.9 and Purdue, 5-3, with
78.5.
In weekly statistics released yes-
terday by the National Collegiate
Sports S e r v i c e s, Mississippi's
Johnny Neumann again led the
nation with a scoring average of
41.7 points per game.
Neumann continues to close in
on Pete Maravich's major college
scoring record, even though he has
tailed off somewhat in his last,
three starts.
Although he would have to av-
erage a whopping 52.8 points in
his last five games to break the
former LSU player's sophomore
record of 43.8, Neumann needs
only to continue a 33-point pace
to finish 40.0.

Illinois' star performer, Ken
