By PRES HOLMES Mack Suprunowicz displayed the form which won him last sea- son's scoring honors for Michigan, as he racked up 28 points last night to lead Michigan to a 64- 53 victory over Purdue. He surpassed the old Michigan record of thi's decade, which was 27 points scored by Tommy King in a game against Ohio State in January 28, 1944. SHIOOTING FROM almost any place and in every imaginable po- sition the cat-like forward sank one out of every two shots he took from the floor, which added to his two free throws, gave him the sea- son's high for Michigan. Before the game he as much as predicted that he would have a good night. He stated "The Minnesota game is history now, we're going to concentrate on Purdue to keep this firom being aiotlier lost weekend,' like we had last J.anuary against tlhbse twg te'a nis." It was Supe who put Michigan out in the lead early in the second period after a see-saw battle be- tween the two teams throughout 'the first 27 minutes of the game. WITH THE score knotted at 37 points apiece Mack dumped in seven points in a row. Bob Harri- son netted three points and Bill Mikulich swished a fielder before Purdue was able to score again. Michigan made a half-heart- ed attempt to stall with about five minutes to play ahd hold- ing a 53-42 edge. Purdue start- ed playing rough and also sink- ing points, and when the gap was only 53-47 the Wolverines opened up again. BILL MIKULICH, who started the game in place of Hal Morrill at forward, landed the first blow after slightly more than five min- utes had elapsed and from then on it was nip and tuck. Mikulich took Michigan's scoring honors in the first Pur- due game, but last night was forced to take runnerup laurels with 13.

Pointing for the biggest gym- nastic upset of the year, an in- spired Michigan aggregation al- most caught up to the Indians in. the last event of the meet. The Wolverine aspirations were squelched on the trampoline de- spite the stellar performance of AAU Champion, Bob Schoendube who captured first place in that event and Ed Buchanan, also of the visitors, who was barely edged out for the runner up spot by Gay Hughes, National Collegiate Champion from Illinois. The score before this fated last event stood at 45-35 with the visi- tors on the short end. A clean3 sweep of the first three places on the trampoline would have giveri Michigan sixteen points and a place in the annals of gymnast; history. The quality of the Michigan competition is evidenced by the closeness in score, with Pete Bar- thell capturing one of the t hree first places taken by his team. Pete excelled in the tumbling event and finished second in the Iparallel bars. Jack Dolan, sophomore sensa- tion fromIllinois, certainly lived up to his press clippings, beating out Barthell for first place in the parallel bars, tying his teammate, Joe Calvetti, for the same posi- tion in the high bar, and taking second place on the side horse, giving up the first position to an- other teammate, John Fin ai. Wolverine Captain, Dick Pash- baugh, turned in his usual good performance by accounting flor a! first in the flying rings. Tom Till- man of Michigan took third place in this event, with Jack Sharp, of the Illini, capturing the middleI slot. The Wolverines will attempt to avenge this defeat when they meet the Ohio State Buckeyes this Saturday, at the IM Building. S ___ Summaries 300-Yard Medley Relay: Won by Michigan IT. Smith, C.

Two years ago we came down here to play them and after a minute and forty seconds had elapsed he had taken five shots and made five buckets." The Wolverines had their best night of the season in the shooting department making 34.2 per cent of their shots. The Boilermakers connected on only 25.6 per cent. The foul shots were just about even. Michigan made eight out of 13 attempts, while Purdue con- nected on nine out of 15. Injury to Starra'k Hits Icemen hard Posting a pair of victories over? an outclassed Minnesota sextet,, Michigan's hockey team all but cinched the midwestern bid to the coming NCAA tournament for t.he second straight year. The Wolverines looked good in ringing up 4-1 and 6-3 decisions{ over the Golden Gophers, but the I Maize and Blue received a blow which may prove to be of very se- I rious consequence. Ace defenseman Dick Starrak received a bad gash in his left arm from a Minnesota player's skate during the second period of Saturday night's contest. He was forced to retire and was treated in the Rochester hospital. The Rochester doctor who ad- ministered to Starrak estimated that it would be at least two weeks before he would be able to return to action. This is the part that'will hurt the Wolverines for in the two weeks that follow, they have four' very important games on the docket. Minnesota invades Ann Arbor this weekend and the Wol- verines are host to the Huskies of Michigan 't'eeh on March 4 and 5. None of these games will be easy. Withoul, Stari' ra k, Wolverine coach Vic Ileyliger will be left with only one top-notch defense- man, Connie Hill and while Hill is a great player, he is not iron man and Michigan's defense will be seriously weakened 'when he is off the ice. Starrak's loss comes hard on the heels of a shoulder injury to Ross Smith which put him on the shelf for the rest of the season. While Heyliger has not defi- nitely indicated that he will do to replace Starrak, sever ideas put forth by members of the squad. One suggestion was that forward Wally Gacek, who had been used at the back spot at times when Michigan was short handed, might temporarily be made over into a defenseman. SPOUTS ROG GOELZ, Night Editor stroke events did the outclassed Gophers manage to crack the solid string of Michigan wins, taking seconds in each eveht. GUS STAGER was the only double winner as Coach Matt Mann made liberal use of his re- serves in rolling up the lopsided score. Stager stroked to an easy win over teammate Tom Coates in the 220-yd. freestyle and then came back to win the 440 by 20 yards in the good time of 4:58.7. Breaststroker Bob Sohl demon- strated once again that his brief slump is at an end as he splashed to a convincing win over Minne- sota's Mel Ivonen in 2:23.6. Mich- igan's Bill Austin took third in the three man race but was dis- qualified for an illegal finish to lower the Wolverine point total by one. Diver George Eyster turned in a surprising win over teammate Ralph Trimborn to give the Wol- verines first and second in the Bernie Kahn edged out Min- nesota's well-regarded Rog AhI- man in the breaststroke to ree- ord his second straight win in the closest race of the after- noon. Kahn was timed in 1:41.1. A 300-yd. medley relay team composed of backstroker Tom Smith, Charlie Moss in the breast- stroke and Matt Mann III in the freestyle went the distance in 2:57.2 as Moss turned in a blazing 60.4 on his leg and the 400-yd. freestyle relay team made it a perfect afternoon for the Wolver- ines as they churned to a near pool length win.

His last act as Wolverine cap- tain was the painful chore of watching his teammates bow once more to Minnesota. Without taking anything away from Leo VanderKuy, who played his best game this season, big Jim McIntyre felt that Michigan missed Roberts. "WE FIG UREP him both of- fensively and defensively," Mc- Intyre said. His height might have relieved the two-on-one situ- at ion under the basket. Vander Kuy had terrific po- tentialities," the Gopher center added. "He shows a, good hook shot and he knows how to get those rebounds." Along with McIntyre, Bud Grant and Whitey Skoog breathed easy for the first time this semes- ter-now that Minnesota was over the hum. "Coach McCoy sure plays all the angles," the sparky Skoog said. "With two men guarding Mac, it left Suprunowicz playing a one man zone out in front. Be- sides taking care of our two guards, Olsen and Mitchell, he had to drift over and cut me off whenever Elliott forced me in from the side." AS FOR HIS "other self," the old red-head, Skoog thought Elliott was "as annoying as fly- paper, but a great guy person- ally."
