Loss,

Lasv Qarter Gopher Rally
ShattersTeam's Win Hopes

Special to The aiy
MINNEAPOLIS - The talented
tandem of Whitey Skoog and May-
nard Johnson proved too much for
a fiercely-fighting Michigan bas-
ketball team here last night, and
Minnesota squeaked through for
a last-ditch win, 66-62..
With Michigan ahead 62-5 on
the dazzling shotmaking of for-
ward Bob Olson, and less than four
minutes to play, the Gophers drove
to a 64-62 lead .n a layup by Ro-
ger Scnobrich, foul.shot by John-
son, and a push shot by the same
irrepiresible forward.
THAT MADE it 64-62. Minne-
sota. Ozzie Cowles, who's -never
been beaten by the McCoy-coach-
ed Wolverines, oiodered a stall.
The Gophers complied, and
desperate Michigan attempts
only resulted in fouls. Skoog ap-
plied the clincher with a minute
left on- an easy lay-up, and the
Wolverines had sustained their
fourth-straight conference loss.
Michigan's . second-half rally,
which fell just three minutes
short, was spectacular in its fury.
BOB OLSON, who'd been ice-
cold in the first half, looked like
another. Hank Luisetti for a five
minute stretch in the final period.
He dumped in" six consecutive
jump shots to spark the too-early
Maize and Blue attack.
- Leo Vander Kuy was high for
Michigan with 21 points, while
Olson finished with 14.
The Gophers' twin blitz, John-
son and Skoog, had 20 and 19
points, respectively.
The ball game started out' the

way it finished-with only a whis-
ker's difference between the two
teams.
WITH VANDERKUY leading
the! way, Mi'chigan stayed close
enough to Minnesota to give the
title-contending Gophers delirum
tremens. The lead changed hands
seven times, and the game was
tied nine times in the opening per-
iod.
Three straight baskets by Tom
Tiernan--the only points he
made all evening-gave the Wol-
verines a 35-33 half-time lead.
Minnesota's Cowles switched
Skoog to forward and inserted
senior Schnobrich at a guard af-
ter the intermission to bolster
the cold Gopher offense, and the
strategy payed off.
The men from the snow coun-
try accelerated their deadened at-
tack in the first nine minutes, and
led by five, 49-44, with less than
12 to go.
Then Olson went to work. He hit
from all angles, and astounded the
crowd of 9,000 with his bullet-like
jump shots. '
* * *
. ONLY THE stop-and-go scoring
thrusts of Skoog kept the Gophers
in business. He and Johnson kept
their quintet in striking distance,
and the belated jackpot surge of
Ski-U-Mah took what had looked-
like a great win away from Michi-
gan.
Michigan's field goal average,
meager in previous games, was an
encouraging .389 in the huge Wil-
liams Arena.
Minnesota was nearly as sharp
from the field. Their field goal
average was .378.

bers of the varsity track team.
Henrie .was inducted yesterday,
with Tuttle going a few weeks ago.
* * * , -
A TWO YEAR letterman on
the track squad, Henrie was
counted on heavily this year by
Coach Don Canham, who rated
him as one of the top all around
tracksters on his squad. He ran
the dashes, broadjumped, high
jumped, and frequently ran a leg
on the mile relay team.
Tuttle also specialized in the
high jump was rated as a top
frosh prospect last year, being
able to clear 6'4". He, along with
Henrie, who . has topped 6'3",
were counted on to give a one-
two punch in the event. Now
the high jump event has been
considerably weakened, with'on-
ly Bob Sexton having varsity ex-
perience. Last year Sexton con-
sistently jumped 6'.

Michigan's hockey team won't
have much time to lick the
wounds sustained in' a rough two-
game series with Montreal last
weekend before they are called up-
on to face another "tough" op-
ponent at the Coliseum this week-
end.
Minnesota's Gophers, always a
rugged ice opponent for the Wol-
verines, will hit Ann Arbor seek-
ing revenge for a twin setback at
the hands of Michigan over the
Christmas vacation.
AND THE BIG Gophers will find
their arch-rivals in their worst
physical condition since the start
of the season.
So swelled was the injury list
that Michigan Coach Vic Hey-
liger was forced to call "no prac-
tice" for his charges yesterday.
The second Montreal contest
claimed two victims. Sophomore
wingman Gordie Naylor took a
head-first dive into the boards and
