WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 190 T HE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Pucksters Win Five, Dro ---- - I. Toronto Cut Victory Stria By BOB SANDELL Michigan's hockey team had a 20 home game win streak snapped during the holidays when the Wol- verines split a pair of contests with the powerful University of Toronto Blues before rolling over Brown and North Dakota in four other vacation engagements. Coupled with rout of McMaster in the campaign opener, the Wol- verines now have a season's mark of six triumphs and only one de- feat. THE SERIES with Toronto on December 16 and 17 was prob- ably one of the best ever staged in the Coliseum., The Wolverines had to come from behind in the last five min- utes to nip the Canadians, 2-1, in the opener. Gil Burford tied the score at 15:40 of the final session and Al Bassey tallied the clincher at 17:08. Toronto had scored earlier in the period. Saturday's contest was a dif- ferent story as the Blue's fresh- man goalie, Doug Orr, was simply unbeatable, and the result was a 4-2 victory for the visitors. Wally Al p One L s MHome AB U g at Twenty C R H Grant and Neil Celley tallied the only markers for Michigan. ALL-AMERICAN and Wolver- ine Captain Wally Grant put on a one-man scoring show in the opener with Brown University on December 21 at the Coliseum. The Wolverines won 7-3, and Grant chalked up three goals for the "hat trick" and an as- sist all in the third period. Ron Roberts, Bob Heathcott, Celley, and Burford racked up the other goals for the home squad. The series finale the following night found the Wolverines on the long end of a 7-5 score, with Jack McDonald and Paul Mila- nowski sharing the net tending duties. * * * CELLEY paced the attack with two goals and Lenny Brumm, Ross Smith, GranthHeathcott, and Roberts each pitched in with single markers. After Christmas the Wolver- ines traveled out to Grant Forks to play a highly regarded Uni- versity of North Dakota sextet. The Nodaks had a host of ex- perienced veterans in their line- up including Russell and Prince Johnson, two brothers who play- ed for the American Olympic team last year. But the Sioux fell before a spir- ited Wolverine attack 8-4 in the first night and 6-0 the following evening with Goalie MacDonald turning in his first shutout of the year. The crack Celley-Burford-Grant combination sparked the winner's onslaught. Burford garnered four goals in the first contest for his second "hat trick" of the young season and two more in the finale. Celley hit the nets for one in the first encounter and two in the second, while Grant had a goal and assists on three others. Sophomore Heathcott got one in each game and Joe Marmo a pair in the curtain raiser.

The Wolverines now have won six while losing three this season. IT WAS A CASE of glory at the start and at the finish of the two week Christmas recess with some unfortunate experiences sand- wiched between for the barnstorming quintet. On December 19th Michigan handed North Carolina State, last season's Southern Conference titlist, its first 1949 defeat in five contests by a score of 54-46. Balanced scoring by Wolverines Don McIntosh, Leo VanderKuy, and Hal Morrill enabled their team to overcome a 10 point halftime deficit and accomplish the upset. One night later it was an entirely different story, however, as the Wolfpack bounced back to square accounts and smash Michigan, 63-52. By way of proving its worth, State went on to capture the Dixie Holiday Tourney, defeating Penn State, 50-40 in the finals. * * * * AFTER AN ABBREVIATED Yule celebration at home, the Wol- verines began play in the annual Big Seven Meet at Kansas City as guest team of that conference.

Main St. "Where the Good Clothes Come From" PHONE 6924 pr two charity tosses for a two point lead that was maintained by a Suprunowicz free throw in the last 33 seconds, giving the Wol- verines a 49-47 nod. At the close of the meet an all - tournament squad listed Suprunowicz on the first five and VanderKuy on the second. Taking everything into consid- eration the campaign was fairly successful in that it proved Mich- igan can hold a winning percent- age in road games and that the Wolverines are able to survive close finishes. In the five games Suprunowicz scored 65 points and VanderKuy 63. Another bright spot was the prominence of Murray at guard, who surprised the opposition with a creditable total of 41 markers, giving Michigan a solid scoring balance. 4- ! t ThisWeek HOCKEY Jan. 6-Univ. of Montreal at Ann Arbor at 8:00 p.m. Jan. 7-Univ. of Montreal at Ann Arbor at 8:00 p.m. BASKETBALL Jan. 7-Univ. of Iowa at Ann Arbor at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 9-Indiana Univ. at Ann Arbor at 7:30 p.m. WRESTLING Jan. 7-Purdue University at Ann Arbor at 3:00 p.m. Tickets for all remaining home hockey games, including the games this Friday and Sat- urday nights with the Univer- sity of Montreal, are on sale at t h e Athletic Administration Building.

In the first round clash they were bracketed with Missouri, and a climactic field goal by a Tiger sophomore in the final 26 seconds of play provided a 47-46 edge overthe visitors. Again Michigan had the dub- ious distinction of losing to a good team as evidenced by the fact that Missouri eventually won the meet, dealing Colorado its first loss in nine games, 62-51, in the semi-finals, and turning back Ok- lahoma in the windup. AS A SIDE ISSUE, a :consola- tion playoff was staged between the four first round losers. The Wolverines fashioned tvo story- book finishes to salvage fifth place in the tournament. Chuck Murray's basket with only 28 seconds remaining to play subdued Nebraska, 67-65, in a game which proved that Michigan has some potential offensive might. Mack Suprunowicz riddled the opposing defense to gather 22 points while his teammate Van- derKuy was dropping in 19. The latter notched 11 free throws to tie the existing one game record for the meet. * * * TWENTY-FOUR hours later it was the same Murray who iced another close Michigan victory. With his team and Kansas dead- locked, 46-46, he made good on' II Se mAnnual Clearance This is our regular Semi-Annual Sale of fine Van Boven mer- chandise.
