Jack McDonald, Wolverine net- minder, played one of the finest games of his career as he kicked out 35 Tech shots. u Three men entered the penalty box before four and a half min- utes had gone by; Abbie Maki, 'Tech defenseman, , for hooking, Connie Hill, Wolverine Defense- ,man, for cross checking, and Al Renfrew, Maize and Blue wing, for body checking. 4Maki Draws First Blood With Renfrew off, Maki re- turned to the ice and tallied an -unassisted goal at 4:45, but the lead was short-lived as Bill Jacob- ,son took a pass from Gordie Mc- Millan at 6:32 ard slammed a ten- footer past Engineer goalie, Jack -Noblet. Michigan took the lead at 18:27 as Connie Hill took the puck be- hind his own blue line, carried it over the Tech line, and passed to Grant, who shot a high one into the corner from 20 feet out. The second stanza statistics were marked only by an unassisted tally from the stick of Al Renfrew , 9:34, and a couple of penalties to Marc Olson, Tech wing, and Ross Smith, Wolverine defense- man. Renfrew's score came eight seconds after Olson left the ice; Al took the puck from a face-off at center ice, circled the Engineer de- fenseman, and netted a 15-footer. 9Pucksters Ice Contest .Michigan put the contest on ice Harriers Land NineP ositions 'In Qualifers (Continued from Page 1) his title defense with the best qualifying time of 1:56.6. In the 440 trials, the best per- formance was a :49.3 by Orval Johnson of Michigan. Bob Fancett, Wolverine broad jumper, missed qualifying for his specialty by an eighth of an inch as he was nosed out by Kailas of Wisconsin. Tomorrow afternoon the finals in all events will be run off and from all indications it will be a three team race right down to the wire with Ohio State and Michi- gan battling to wrest the crown perched precariously on the head of Illinois. " Qualifiers: 880-yard Run: (Nine qualified for Saturday's finals): Barten, Thomason, Vetter, Michigan; Da- vis, Washington; Clifford, Ohio State; Klink, Purdue; Gehrmann, Wiscorsin; Prifogle, Indiana. (Best time, 1:56.6 by Barten, Michigan.) 440-Yard Run: (Six qualified for finals): Johnson and Shep- herd, Michigan; Cogswell, Ohio State; Hayden, Michigan; Buster, Illinois. (Best time, :49.3 by Johnson, Michigan). (Elliott, In- diana, disqualified). The first telegraph line built in the United States was completed in 1844. in the final period by scoring four times in 13 minutes while holding the Techmen to a single tally. It began when Ted Greer, Maize and Blue wing, carried the puck from behind his blue line into en- emy territory, where he shot it over to Gacek, who took the rub- ber in full stride in the center of the ice and sent it whistling past Noblet for the fourth Michigan score. Then came the prettiest play of the evening. With Ross Smith in the box for board checking, the Wolverines stole the puck during a Tech rush, and McMillan and Renfrew came in on a lone Engi- neer defenseman, who was outma- neuvered by Gordie McMillan, then passed the rubber to Renfrew, on the other side of the net, and Al easily beat Noblet. Michigan Scores Again Michigan scored again at 11:40 on a pass from McMillan to Gacek, who tallied his second goal of the night. Tech broke its long scoring fam- ine less than a minute later. Bill Robertson, Engineer wing, sent the rubber from a pile-up near the Wolverine net to center Paul Kar- iniemi, who whipped the puck by McDonald. Grant Ends Souring Grant concluded the Mize and Blue scoring at 13:23 on a peculiar play. Gacek's shot was blocked and fell dead at the Husky goal post, and Wally came in to spp the disk before Noblet could clear it. The Techmen refused to give in and scored a pair of goals at 17:43 and 19:26. Karinieini pushed in John Cortopassi's rebound for the first, and John netted a pass from Jimmy Ruhl to end the night's ac- tivities. Michigan will close its season tonight when it faces Tech at 8:30 at the Coliseum.
