first goal, but Detroit was not to
be denied,' and tied it up 55 sec-
onds later this time, and the
period ended in a 2-2 tie.
Wings Pour It On
The second stanza proved to be
Michigan's downfall, as six Red
Wing shots got by Howes during
this time. After Karpinka had
tied it up, 4-4, Detroit scored three
goals within three minutes, and
this proved to be the turning point
for the Michigan ieers.
Red Kelley smashed the'slippery
puck off Howes' pads. Costello
drove home a vicious screen shot
that zipped past the motionless
Howes, who never saw the speed-
ing puck. Then Gordie Howe-
came through with an unassisted
goal, and Michigan's dream was
shattered.
The Wolverines fought back
gamely in the final period, out-
scoring the Red Wings, 3-1, but it
was to no avail.
Cigar-smoking Lefty Wilson,
Detroit trainer, was in the nets
the last stanza, and a little dance
step as the fans chanted, "let's
go Blue," was the highlight of the
humorous Lefty's antics.
Five freshmen made their local
debut for the Maize and Blue, and
of the quintet, wing Gary Starr
and defenseman Barrie Hayton
stood out for the Wolverines.

ace, Gordie Howe.

PETE GRAY
New York's Yankees and the"
Nationals of Washington took big
steps toward their individual goals
for the 1956 season last Wednesday
by completing a trade that sent
lefty Maury McDermott to New
York.
The Yankees had to give up four
rookies from their player-rich
farm system to obtain McDermott
and will send the Nats another
rookie by April 1.
The move gives the New Yorkers
another lethal weapon to add to
their championship pitching corps,
which already bears the names of
Ford, Byrne, Turley and Larsen.
"Need Starter"
At the end of th'e last campaign,
Manager Casey Stengel listed an-
other starting pitcher among his
needs for the coming season. Mc-
Dermott could easily fill that bill.
The skinny southpaw is especial-'
ly adept at beating the league's'
top clubs. Notable among his ten
wins in the 1955 season were two'
low-hit performances against the'
Indians, always a tough foe of
the Yankees.1
Also going to the Yanks is Bob
Kline, a shortstop, who originally
belonged to them. He will be
thrown into the shortstop battle
along with a dozen others.
Veterans Depart
Washington, if it does anything,
is not going to enter the new sea-
son with a bunch of greybeards.
Since Chuck Dressen joined the
organization such established vets
as Busby, Vernon, Porterfield and
now McDermott have. departed.
The National newcomers are
pitcher Bob Wiesler, catcher Lou
Berberet, third baseman Herb
Plews and outfielder Dick Tettel-
bach.
Wiesler is a southpaw who has
never quite lived up to his minor
league reputation and Berberet
faced the impossibility of dislodg-
ing Yogi Berra as New York's
catcher. Now he must beat out
Clint Courtney.
Plews and Tettelbach were two
of the best ,players in the Ameri-
can Association last summer, but
neither fitted into the Yank's
plans.

"Hey, you, report for cross-coun-
try practice or see the Dean."
The words were those of a figure
sprawled awkwardly in the corri-
dor of St. Petersburg, Fla. High
School. The speaker was Phil
Knuth, track coach at the school.
The object of his outburst was a'
frightened sophomore who had just
run int' the coach at top speed.
The sophomore, not being par-

ticularly anxious to meet the Dean,
reported for the cross-country
squad. Thus Pete Gray, today
Michigan's outstanding middle-
distance man, began his track
career.
Remarkable Record
From this unusual beginning,
Gray has carved a remarkable
record. He is still remembered in
Florida for his exploits. A half-
mile record he set in high school
remains unbroken.
He was cross-country champion
of Florida for two years. Unde-
feated in all dual meets, he also
was a member of a state champion
relay team.
The Florida flash came to Mich-
igan in 1952. As a freshman he
had a perfect record-running and
winning the five races he entered.
The next year, in his very first
race, he ended up in a dead heat
with Illinois' Gene Maynard, then
the top 880 man in the Big Ten.
The pair broke the existing Big
Ten mark.
Gray's debut was well publi-
cized - an alert photographer
caught Gray and Maynard's dive
for the tape and won a national
photography contest with the pic-
ture.
Later in that same season, Gray
placed third in the NCAA 880-an
accomplishment he still recalls. as
his "greatest thrill."
Last year Gray really scorched
the cinders. Currently he reigns as
Big Ten 880 indoor and outdoor
king as well as the 1000 yard in-
door champ.
Establishes 'M' Record
In the NCAA 880 last, year he
placed second, but still established
a Michigan record in the process.
Both he and the winner, Ford-
ham's Tom Courtney, broke the
existing NCAA record,
A 21-year-old physical education
major, Gray is married to a former
Daily sports staffer, and he often
came up to the Daily office to
write headlines. He's the proud
pappa of a two-month-old boy.
