That's all it took for the Michigan hockey team to lose to Ohio State, 4-3, in overtime last night, before a crowd of 2,137 at Yost Arena. JUST 2:43 into the extra period, Ohio State's Bob Gruhl put a shot in front of the Michigan net. The puck glanced off Wolverine Frank Downing's stick toward the Michigan goal, catching goalie Jon Elliott off guard. The puck slid slowly through Elliott's legs to give the Buckeyes the victory in the second overtime in as many nights. "The puck was down in the corner, passed across out in front," said Elliott. "I was moving to the right to anticipate the play. Unfortunately it went off of one of our players, hit the post and went in. Michigan head coach Red Berenson was as frustrated as Elliott. "Last night I thought we won and the ref took away the goal. Tonight we lost on an even more flukey goal. It's too bad. "WE NEEDED this game to build on last night," Berenson added. "It could have been a great weekend." Michigan had tied the game at 3-3 at the 8:08 mark of the third period when Brad McCaughey tumbled and slid toward the OSU goal. From his back the freshman knocked the puck past sprawling Buckeye goalie Bob Kraut- sak. Doug May put the Wolverines on the board first early in the opening period when he skated in on Krautsak. The senior left wing took a pass from Paul Kobylarz and flipped in his first goal of the season at 3:15. MICHIGAN SET the pace of. the fast- F its 'M moving frame, controlling the puck with sharp passing. Dan Goff recorded the Wolverines' second goal on a pic- ture-perfect play at the 5:50 mark. On a three-on-two break, Downing fed a pass to Ray Dries, drawing Krautsak to the right side of the net. Dries promptly slipped the puck to Goff out in front who smacked it into the open corner to record the short-handed goal. But the second period was all Ohio State. The Buckeyes ran up three unan- swered goals as the momentum of the contest took a complete turn. Perhaps it was a sign of things to come when Gruhl unleashing a blistering shot from the left point at 9:30 to sparkthe comeback. The Buckeyes then caught Elliott flat- footed when what seemed to be an errant shot was deflected into the net off the stick of Dave Beaudin. Ohio State scored again just over a minute later when Michigan's defense momentarily collapsed. Elliott came out of the crease to clear the puck but ventured out too far, giving Jeff Madill an open target. The Buckeye freshman under fired a quick wrist-shot to notch the easy goal. "IT'S A gamble any time you do that,"' said Elliott. "It's like being a beached whale. You've got to get the puck out of your zone. I got to the puck, but I didn't get it out, and it just hap- pened that one of their guys was there." Coach Jerry Welsh's team went ahead at 17:17 when Rick Brebant found himself alone in front of the Wolverine goal. Dan Rothgery centered the puck for Brebant, who whistled a shot over Elliott's shoulder. The Michigan goalie barely waved a glove at the puck as it sailed by him into the net. "When the missed plays cost us a game, it's frustrating," said Elliott. "If I hadn't made the missed plays we would have won the game in regulation and wouldn't have had to worry about overtime. "I'll just have to work hard and hopefully the guys will still be behind me, even though I screwed up this game."

(AP) - Ala- bama finished its first losing season in 27 years by upsetting ar- chrival Auburn 17-15 yesterday on two touchdown runs by Paul Ott Carruth and Van Tiffin's 52-yard field goal that knocked the 11th-ranked Tigers out of the Sugar Bowl. Alabama's rugged defense, one of the few bright spots in the Crimson Tide's embarrassing 5-6 season, preserved the triumph by stopping Brent Fullwood on fourth-and-goal from the one yard line with 3:27 left to play after the losers disdained a chip-shot field goal that could have put them in the Sugar Bowl. Fullwood's 60-yard touchdown run with 9:11 remaining set up the dramatic finish. Auburn had to settle for the Liberty Bowl, where the Tigers will face Arkansas. Meanwhile 14th-ranked LSU, which completed an 8-2-1 regular season a week ago, backed into a Sugar Bowl date against Nebraska by finishing second in the South eastern Conference with a 4-1-1 record.
