All-ASmerican Dave Debol scored two goals, his 99th and 100th in a Wolverine uniform, earning honors as the first star of the game. While Debol played just another game in his outstanding career, fresh- man goalie Rudy Varvari was pressed into service for the first time when starter Frank Zimmerman was hit by a hard shot on the elbow. VARVARI HAD a credible debut, stopping 26 of 31 shots and came up with a few difficult saves when the team needed themthe most. Those winning Blues omplete The game started out exactly like Friday night's contest as the Gophers scored the game's first goal on the first shot on net. But, also like the first game of the series, Minnesota's 1-0 lead did not stand up for long: Debol scored the first of his pair, a power play at 10:10 and Dan Lerg followed up with a blistering shot only a minute and a half later and Michigan never trailed after that. The Gophers fell deeper into a rut as Lerg and Kip Maurer tallied 21 seconds apart in the second period to make the score Michigan, 4-1. THEN MINNESOTA hounded the Wolverines into numerous mistakes and took advantage of a rash of penalties on both squads to tie the game sweep at 4-4. But Debol popped in another power play and the Wolverines never relinquished the lead. Less than three minutes later, the Wolverines electrified the crowd of 4,264 with their penalty killing. WITH JOHN McCahill in the box, Dan Hoene and Ben Kawa both knocked in shots, at 18:29 and 18:41 respectively, to claim Michigan's first two short- handed goals of the season. Michigan is now 6-2 in the WCHA (8-2 overall) which puts them no worse than second place pending the outcome of Notre Dame's game at first place Den- ver. Minnesota falls to 5-3 in the league. The Wolverines next action is next weekend at Colorado College. . _ _ _ _ r1 2 3 F MICHIGAN....................2 5 0 7 Minnesota ...................... 1 3 1 4 FIRST PERIOD scoring:1.
