for their efforts. Time after time
the Bulldogs had the ball stolen
from them or found their shots
blocked.
Michigan's defense combined
with Butler's shooting inefficiency
to hold the visitors to a meager 16
points during the first half. Butler
was able to score on only five of
28 shots in the first 20 minutes of
play, for an 18 per cent shooting
average.
In comparison, Michigan netted
14 of 43 shots during the same pe-

from coming close to repeating the
101 point total which they amassed
in defeating Pittsburgh the previous
Saturday.
Scoring honors for the Maize-and-
Blue cagers were spread fairly
even, as center Harvey Williams
and Groffsky scored 12 points each
and forward Tom Jorgenson added
eight tallies to the Wolverine total.
Rebounding Weak
Both squads were weak in re-
bounding during the entire contest.
Michigan managed to gather in 18,
while Butler grabbed 14. The bulk
of Michigan's work under the
boards was done by Williams and
Groffsky, who totaled 11 rebounds
between them.
Kramer, the sophomore forward
who was expected to break into the
starting lineup when he became
adjusted to the change from the
gridiron to the basketball court,
saw considerable action but still
seemingly hasn't rounded into
shape. The -3" cager scored five
points but appeared slow and often-
times somewhat awkward.
Tom Maentz, another forward
who is trying to bridge the gap
from football to basketball, put in
a. short appearance but seemed to
be gaining ability under the back-
boards. The sophomore from Hol-
land, Mich., grabbed two rebounds1
during his brief stay on the court.
In contrast to his seemingly im-
proved play against Pittsburgh,
Williams, another question-mark
cager, was erratic last night, play-
ing brilliantly at times and only
average at others. -

marked improvement in the next
four days, Tony Trabert may be
benched and replaced by Hamilton

Bill Talbert, nonplaying U.S. cap-
tain, indicated as much yesterday
after another doubleheader practicer
session at which special attention
was given to out-of-touch Trabert.

Francisco 49ers eked out a 10-7 vic-
tory over the Baltimore Colts yes-
terday in a National Football
League finale that featured bril-
liant defensive line play and stut-
tering offensives.
The 49ers 90-yard march in the
third quarter to the winning touch-
down, scored from a scant yard out
by fullback Joe Perry, offered
slight comfort for what they had
set out to do.
The 49ers-playing before 26,956

wanted to salvage some glory
from a disappointing season by
springing Perry loose for 140 yards.
That would have given him a new

Tables Turned
The Wolverines found the tables
turned in the second half, however,
as Cox hit consistently to lead his
teammates to a 37.5 per cent sec-
ond half shooting average, while
Michigan slipped to a mark of 26
per cent. In the end, the shooting
percentages were about even, but
the Maize-and-Blue took 26 more
shots than the Bulldog cagers, and
this told the story.
Butler's ball control game slowed
down the tempo of the contest con-
siderably and kept the Wolverines

While the Maize and Blue were

goal for the visitors.- Center Ber-

Howes, who cleared it onto the

MacFarland cut the visitor's
margin with a breakaway goal in
the late stages of the opening per-
iod. With the Maize and Blue a
man down, he picked up the loose
puck and headed down the ice.
The lone man between himwand

diana's Hoosiers took the lead for
the first time in the last half-min-
ute and slashed a string of 22
straight home basketball victor-

for the nationally-televised NCAA
series.
Capt. Jack Stephens, 6-2 Notre

points through the nets but the
ultimate hero of the game was
Hallie Bryant, 6-3 Indiana sopho-
