Pnn" I PVon THE MICHIGAN DAILY ." ge svenI ucky By TERRI FOUCHEY Michigan's 1i0th varsity hockey game did not fit into the long win- ning Wolverine tradition establish- ed in all fields of competition, in- stead it fit into the pattern this year's icers seem unable to break from. Again, for the majority of the game the Wolverines carried the play, but they were unable t over- come the luck of Notre Dame's Irish as they fell 4-2 last night. The recent warm spell has been' melting ice all over campus and the rink in the Coliseum was also unable to resist the forces of moth- er nature. The ice was noticeably slow at the game's beginning and the puck's sticking in the Michigan end may have helped the first Irish surge on goalie Bill Busch. The ice condition didn't improve through- out the game, but as Coach, Al Ren- frew noted, "The bad ice affected them as much as us." During the first period both teams seemed to play as lethargic- ally as the ice would allow. Each spent the first five minutes adjust- ing to the fact that they were sup- posed to be playing.

The start of the second period included a little more hitting, but both teams appeared disorganized at time's. Once this stage passed both teams\ began to press more and seemed ready to go out and get the victory. Rick Mallette's line of Julian Nixon, Gary Connelly, and himself had several chances which they couldn't capitalize bn. Busch de- prived Notre Dame's Phil Wistliff and John Noble on excellent chances. One of the plates of glass fell out at center ice and when this re- ceived the nights' biggest ovation, the Wolverines decided to do some- thing to regain the fa s' attention. Notre Dame's Ric Schafer receiv- ed his second penalty of the night at 11:36. Approximately a minute later, Michigan's power play, which has had trouble in the past, scored when captain Paul Gamsby passed to Jarry who shot from 10 feet out and Gagnon was in the center to! put the4 rebound in. It was Gag- non's 20th goal of the season. -Daily-Denny Gainer MICHIGAN FORWARD Brian Slack (8) attempts to get around an unidentified Notre Dame defense- man to get another chance to put the puck, lying in the crease, into the net. Also blocking Slack's path is goalie Chris Cathcart (24). The Wolverines had several similar close chances like this shot which went across the crease. A minute and a half later the Irish scored after Tom Marra had unsuccessfully tried to stop Nobie's pass to Eddie Bumbacco. After getting the pass Bumbacco easily faked Brian Skinner, who was set for him to come in, shot from 25 feet out and the puck was in the net before Busch saw it. Busch had similar problems as the Irish followed up with another score 46 seconds later. Witliff and Jim Cordes had a Iwo on one against Jerry Lefebvre. Cordes shot the puck across the goal and Paul Regan retrieved it in .he cor- ner and passed to Schafer, waiting in the slot, who put it past Busch. The 13 Notre Dame saves and the two Michigan saves showed that the Wolverines were hustling, but the scoreboard showed whose side luck was on. Renfrew's comment on this was, "Sometimes you get the shots and sometimes you don't." Michigan continued to press as the third period began but the Irish obtained the period's first tally. They got the puck into the Michi- gan end, where Cordes, behind the net, passed to Schafer at the point and Witliff put the tip-in by! Busch. The incident which drew the night's loudest reaction occurred Nineteen seconds later it looked about three minutes into the frame. as if this would be to no avail as Connelly's stick caught in Bum- the Irish put their fourth goal of bacco's skate and for 30 seconds the night past Busch.

The Michigan power play again paid off as Regan went off for hooking after a pileup in the Irish goalmouth. Gamsby, camped at the outer edge of the left faceoff circle, fired Mallette's perfect pass from the corner past Cathcart before he had time to react. and Ian Williams tipped this one in. However the Wolverines re- mained undeterred and continued to hit, resulting in several scram- bles in front of the Irish net, but nothing to show for any of them. Although Michigan lost, Renfrew was satisfied with the overall play.' He said, "We played well enough to win, a good game. We moved the puck better than we have in a long while." * * * Professional League Standings -9 '4 This Weekend in Sports TODAY BASKETBALL-Minnesota at Crisler Arena, 2 'p.m. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL-Alpena at Crisler Arena, noon GYMNASTICS-at Indiana SWIMMING-Ohio State at Matt Mann-Pool, 3 p.m. WRESTLING-Michigan State at Crisler Arena, 4 p.m. TRACK-Michigan State at Yost Fieldhouse, 4 p.m. HOCKEY-Notre Dame at Coliseum, 8 p.m. New Yo: Philadell Boston Buffalo Baltimor Cincinna Atlanta Clevelan Milwauk NBA Eastern Conference Atlantic Division W L Pet. rk 42 25 .627 phia 37 28 .569 36 30 .545 19 49 .284 Central Division e 36 28 .561 atI 25 41 .377 24 41 .369 d 12 57 .167 Western Conference Midwest Division ee 53 11 .828 GB 4 51 23 Utah Indiana Memphis Denver Texas West Division 43 20 .687 40 21 .655 36 29 .554 23 39 .371 20 43 .318 2 7% 129 22f4 2 12 261, Yesterday's Games Pittsburgh 132, Virginia 131 Utah 126, Texas 114 Indiana 126, Kentucky 121 Only games scheduled Today's Games New York at Texas Only game scheduled i wimmers down Eastern, 84-39 By JIM EPSTEIN Michigan's weakest event all sea- tion swimmer, in hopes he would Michigan's once beaten swim- son long, Brian Moll of Eastern set the pool record.
