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- Number Two BUTLER G F PF TP Sheetz, f...........0 0 4 0 Guzek, f,...........2 4 1 8 Peterman, f ........1 2 0 4 Ditmire, i ........1 0 0 2 Jung, c .. ........,0 4 0 4 Foster, c.............0 0 4 0 Frohliger, c.........0 4 1 4 Cox, g.............7 4 3 18 Holloway, g.....3 0 3 6 Redenbacher, g ....1 4 3 6 Baldoni, g .........1 2 1 4 Frayman, g ........0 0 0 0 TOTALS.........16 24 20 56 MICHIGAN G F PF TP Groff sky, f ........5 2 5 12 Lingle, f ..........0 0 0 0 Jorgenson, f....... .4 0 3 8 Kramer, f ..........1 3 2 5 Maentz, f...........0 0 0 0 Williams, c ........6 0 3 12 Barron, g ..........4 8 3 16 Shearon, g .........0 2 2 2 Eaddy, g ...........5 6 4 16 Raisor, g .........,0 0 0 0 TOTALS.........25 21 22 71 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. - Traber't May Be Benched, Says Talbert BRISBANE, UR)-Unless he shows marked improvement in the next four days, Tony Trabert may be benched and replaced by Hamilton Richardson in the interzone Davis Cup finals against Sweden. 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. American and Swedish tennis aces meet on the Hilton Courts here next Thursday, Friday and Satur- day for the right to challenge Aus-I tralia for the international trophy. -Daily-John Hirtzel OPEN NET-Montreal's goalie, Cy Guevremont, is drawn away from his post as teammate, Richard Dupond (7), Michigan's Jay Goold (9), and several other players search for an elusive puck. Dunnigan's 3rd Period Goal, 49ers Edge Colts in Grid Battle, 10=7 SAN FRANCISCO (A-The San 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 plus a national TV audience - wanted to salvage some glory from a disappointing season by springing Perry loose for 140 yards. That would have given him a new NFL ground gaining record for one season. Perry Misses Record riod, with Paul Groffsky, Ron Kra- mer and Eaddy combining to score four consecutive two-pointers. 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.

While the Maize and Blue were shorthanded, as Neil Buchanan was sitting in the penalty box with a two minute penalty for elbow- ing, Lameroux scored the second goal for the visitors.- Center Ber- nard Gratton took a long shot at Howes, who cleared it onto the stick of Lameroux. The Montreal puckster slapped the puck into the open -net for another Montreal score. 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.

Captain John Miller scored 25 points as the unbeaten Bucks won their third straight and handed St. Louis its first loss after two wins. The taller St.. Louis team could not cope with the torrid Buck marksmen, who sank 48 per cent of their shots. St. Louis made 37 per cent of its tries. Ohio State has topped the 90- point mark in each of its three games this year and is sinking field goals at an impressive 48 per gent clip. * * * Indiana 73, Notre Dame 70 SOUTH BEND, Ind. 0P)-In- 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- les for Notre Dame's Irish yester- day, 73-70. It was a rousing start for the nationally-televised NCAA series. Capt. Jack Stephens, 6-2 Notre Dame senior guard, poured 32 points through the nets but the ultimate hero of the game was Hallie Bryant, 6-3 Indiana sopho- more. Bryant lofted the basket that gave the Hoosiers their first lead, 69-68, with less than 30 seconds left in the game. He scored all of his 12 points in the second half after Notre Dame led 42-36 at the Intermission. * * * Missouri 97, Iowa 94 COLUMBIA, Mo. (R)-Missouri rolled up a home court record score in defeating the University of Iowa basketball team 97-94 last night. Missouri held an eight- point margin most of the way. It was 49-39 at the half. It was Missouri's second vic- tory in three meetings with Big Ten teams this season. The Tigers lost to Illinois, then beat Indiana. Carl Cain, Bill Logan and Sea- berg each got 20 points for Iowa. Illinois 59 ,Oklahoma A&M 53 STILLWATER, Okla. (IP)-Illi- nois, leading all the way and by as much as 18 points at one point, proved too much for Oklahoma A&M last night in an inter-sec- tional basketball game 59-53. Bill Ridley was high for the evening with 21 points followed by George BonSalle with 18. Be-= hind them was Mack Carter, Ok- lahoma A&M forward, with 16. It was Ridley's 14 points by him- self in the first half that broke the game wide open. * * * Minnesota 94, DePaul 84 MINNEAPOLIS (R--Spray-shoot- ing Minnesota demoralized DePaul late in the first half and smashed its week-old school scoring record for a 94-84 victory here last night. The output exceeded by one point the previous Gopher record set last week in a losing battle against the same Blue Demons at Chicago. Dick Garmaker bagged 24 points for Minnesota and massive Bill Simonovich, 6-11 Minnesota center, hit 20 points. * * * Wisconsin 77, Oklahoma 66 NORMAN, Okla.
