The Bruins took a 5-1 lead into the third period, but the Cana- diens came out as if to duplicate their comeback from a similar disadvantage last Thursday, when they won the second game of the series, 7-5. * Goals by Frank Mahovlich and John Ferguson narrowed the count to 5-3. The Canadiens appeared to have the Bruins on the ropes with more than 10 minutes remaining. However, Bucyk came off the bench, picked up a loose puck and went in to score his first goal in five playoff games. He cut in on the right wing his off position, and crashed into two defensemen just as he fired a shot into the far corner of the net. That was all the Bruins needed as they re- assumed command and moved to within one victory of the semifin- als in defense of their Stanley Cup Championship. Ken Hodge completed the Bos- ton scoring with an unassisted goal on a 30-foot shot with just over four minutes remaining. Seven Boston players shared in the scoring.

Number five Michigan seed Kevin Senich won a tight contest over Brian Engle 7-6. The twelve point tie breaking system was used for this meet. Senich however made Engle look like an easy mark as he won the match with a 6-0 score in the second set. Senich, a freshman, is one of the bright spots in Michigan's tennis future. Mike Ware completed the sweepi of the singles matches with a 7-5, 6-1 win over lanky Jim Davis. Ross and Ravreby combined for the doubles competition. They drubbed Squires and Engles 6-3, 6-2. Ravreby had trouble return- ing some early shots, but then got in the groove by stroking well placed balls beyond the reach of the Toledo competition. Ott and Ware, also singles play- ers, downed Toledo's second seeded team of Drifmyer and Davis 6-3, 6-2. Michigan's third seeded doubles team of Dave Domzal and Bob Ep- stein lost Michigan's only set of the day, 6-3 to Greg Dredge and Ken Brown but rebounded to win the match 6-4, 6-2. Epstein, a freshman, made his first start for the Michigan courts- men. After the victory, he said, "During the first set we were ner- vous and cold, especially me. We finally started to get going in the second set." Epstein had started growing a beard several days before he learned that he was going to start today. After discovering that it would have to be shaved before he played, he reluctantly did so a half hour before the match. Toledo coach Pete Kramer com- mented after the game, "We played some good sets in the lower seeded matchups and a good number three doubles. I'm disappointed, but we lost to a fine team." Michigan's coach Brian Eisner said "We played pretty well against a good team. My only dis- appointment is that we had to play inside because of'the bad weather." The rain and wet courts forced the meet to be played inside the IM building. Michigan is now looking forward to today's dual meet against Kala- mazoo. Hopefully if the weather clears up the meet will be played outdoors on the varsity courts be- hind the IM building. Starting time will be 2:30 p.m. .
