Illinois, standing atop the con- ference heap with a 4-0 record, raced to a 20-4 lead while Michi- gan floundered in the opening minutes, and maintained a com- fortable 20 point spread through- out most of the contest. * * * TOM TIERNAN set the pace for his teammates by missing on his first ten shots, which should stand as a record, of some sort. But Tiernan was not entirely alone in this department, the team r as a whole averaging a miserable .188 the first half. Illinois, on the other hand, hit on a commendable 31 per cent of their shots during the t same time. The difference of shooting eyes enabled the Illini to compile a 38-21 half time lead. Big Leo VanderKuy paced the Wolverine quintet with 13 points, followed by Murray's 12, but both latter used their advantage to great success. Time after time the Wolverines would get only one shot, while their opponents took many by control of the boards. ONCE AGAIN Michigan gave ground to its opponent at the free Detroit Jinx Prevails as Rangers Fall Montreal Wins, MapleLeafs Tie By The Associated Press. DETROIT-The Detroit Red Wings maintained their home ice jinx over the New York Rangers as they won 4-2 last night, getting three of their goals while the losers were shorthanded on penal- ties. A crowd of 13,186 saw the Na- tional Hockey League battle. The Rangers thus failed for the fifth time this season to grab a victory on Olympia ice as they were hurt repeatedly by penalties. Thirteen were callecd, eight against New York -in the fairly rough game. Metro Prystai was the big gun in the Wings' attack as he paced the NHL leaders with a pair of goals and an assist. Ranger goalie Chuck Rayner had a hectic night with 32 saves while Detroit's Terry' Sawchuk piled up 19. * * * TORONTO-The last-place Chi- cago Black Hawks came from be- hind last night to earn a 3-3 tie with Toronto in a National Hockey League game before 13,524 fans. The Hawks, who haven't won a game now in 13 starts, cut down a two-goal lead the {Leafs built up in the first half of the game to achieve the tie-. the third in their winless string. Veteran Adam Brown starred for Chicago. He fired the tieing goal in the last period. * * S MONTREAL - The Montreal Canadiens shut out the Boston Bruins, 4-0, last night before a crowd of 14,438 and took a firmer hold on third place in the Nation- al Hockey League race. It was the fourth straight win for Canadiens and the sixth shutout of the season for goalie Gerry McNeil to put him even with Terry Sawchuk of Detroit. Maruce Richard counted one of Montreal's goals for his 2-7th of the season and had an assist on a goal scored by Bert Olmstead. The other scorers were Glen Harmon and Floyd Curry. throw line. The poor floor' aver- age was carried over as the aim- less Wolverines hit on only 17 of 36 charity tosses, slightly under 50 per cent. The Illini fared better in that department, but not by much. They were able to sink 18 of 31 gift shots. Michigan had trouble in ball handling and control. On many occasions the ever alert Illini swiped the ball'to go dashing down court for a setup. Other times they would intercept errant passes, which did a great deal to destroy what little poise Michigan possessed. * * * TWO, OF THE cagers almost didn't make it to Champaign. Captain Charlie Murray and for- ward Tom Tiernan missed the train when their alarm clock fail- ed to go off in the morning. The perplexed youths then hopped a plane to Chicago and took a train to Kankakee, Tier- nan's home town. Tiernan's parents drove the pair to Cham- paign, where they arrived five, minutes after their teammates' arrival. Coach Ernie McCoy, who was already justly concerned over the game,,spent a hectic trip figuring out possible, replacements for his; wandering charges.- The Michigan quintet now heads for the Twin Cities, where tomorrow night they face Whitey Skoog and company in another conference clash. The Minnesota, aggregation manhandled Purdue, last night, 78-55, for its second win as against one loss. After the Illinois debacle, Mich- igan now has a 1-3 record in Con- ference competition. - a By JIM PARKER It wasn't what you would have called an era, that Michigan nine- game hockey victory string, but it was kinda nice-while it lasted. Then came Montreal's Carabins and things started to happen. Friday night an 8-8 tie, and the victory string changed to an un- defeated streak. Last night it came to a complete end - the score, 3-2, Montreal. THE KILLING PACE of Friday night's game was something that couldn't have been expected to hold over. And it didn't; but it was still a terrific game and there was a standing-room-only crowd to see it. In the final analysis it seem- ed that the previous evening's contest had taken too much out of the Wolverines, leaving the Michigan offense lacking the precision of past games. The Wolverines seemed- to be able to do everything except con- nect on the scoring plays, and that was it. WITH 40 SECONDS left in the game, Coach Vic Heyliger pulled Hal Downes out of the nets and put six forwards on the ice in a final attempt to get the tying goal. But it was to no avail. In the Michigan goal Downes played a terrific game, by far the best that Ann Arbor fans have seen from him., He came up with 27 saves in the game and some of them were real gems. The first period was unevent- ful. Michigan at one time held y a ,two - man advantage, but couldn't do anything about it. The second period began with Montreal's Jean Vernier left over in the penalty box from the pre- ceding frame. And what hap- pened In the next minute and a quarter was appalling, to say the least. * * * DESPITE THE one-man disad- vantage, the Carabins scored two quick goals before the Wolverines knew what was coming off. Andre Charest, Friday's one- man scoring parade (five goals), started the proceedings when he stole the puck on Michigan ice and sailed off for the Mich- igan goal, quite alone. Downes didn't have a chance. Forty-three seconds later Ray Flynn scored on a fiendish play that they still haven't figured out. He shot from 20 feet out and the puck hit two or three. skates be- fore trickling through. * * * NEIL CELLEY put 'Michigan back in the game at 9:20 on a beautiful goal that saw the Cel- ley passing to John Matchefts in front of the Montreal goal' and then converting on Matcheft's fast return pass. Burford connected on a solo clash at 14:14 and the period end- ed, 2-2. Forty seconds was all the Cara' bins needed in the final stanza. Georges Emblem drew the Michi- gan defense over, setting up jean Bruneau for an open shot at the nets. Bruneau iced it-as well as the game. FIRST.PERIOD: No Scoring.

The Hoosiers showed all the class that made this their ninth win in ten starts and has made them one of the leading contend- ers for the Big Ten title. * * * - MICHIGAN STATE only kept the score down by close guarding and careful ball-handling. But the Spartans couldn't break past the tight defense under .the Indiana basket and when they were shoot- ing they weren't hitting. Free throws helped Indiana as the visitors made 21 out of 30 gift shots to 13 out of 24 for Michigan State. From the floor Indiana had 13 in 40 tries to 12 in 55 for'the Spartans. Guard Gene Ring led the Hoo- sier attack with 12 points although all the regulars were scoring. Bill Garrett, Indiana center, was the handyman to get the rebounds from the backboard and on the free throw line where he account- ed for six of his eight points. GARRETT WAS the only Hoo- sier who played nearl:" a whole game as thed forwards and guards were given frequent relief under a shuttle system of substitution. Michigan State trailed 12-3 at the ten minute point and 23-12 at the half and only made four? baskets in the first half. Forward Bill Bower made the first MSC basket within three minutes gone. But it was 13 min- utes later in the first half before the Spartans scored again from the floor. MICHIGAN STATE perked up in the second half but Indiana kept well ahead. The Hoosier led 30-17 with ten minutes to go and the score of 44-30 with three min- utes to go reflected nearly the same margin. Centers Bob Carey and Ray Steffen, with 12 and 10 points respectively, were the only Spar, tans who could do much scor- ing. Bower with four points was third high man.

Wisconsin, which now has a 3-1 conference record, breezed to a 53-30 halftime lead and never was in trouble. Ohio has yet tof win a league game. The Badgers used a screen of- fense to jump to an early lead and that 23-point advantage at halftime. Then O h i o State Coach Floyd Stahl put in an all-sophomore five at the start of the second period and this combination narrowed the gap to 10 points at one time.
