There were no serious threats in the remainder of the period. What proved to ba the winning goal came at 12:45 of the second period when Maurice Richard tallied for the Canadiens. Passes from Toe Blake and Elmer Lach enabled Richard to get the puck by Lumley from 10 feet out. Earlier in the period Ted Lindsay traveled the length of the ice and caught Durnan flat-footed, but Lindsay had been offside and the goal was called back.

Lindsay had two more chances at the Montreal net in the final period, but he missed one and Durnan made a spectacular save on the other.

Title or No Title, Crisler's Happy ANN ARBOR That Indiana won the title made no difference in the crowded Michigan locker room. Tm proud of this team," said Coach Fritz Crisler. "It came up hill. It won the hard way against a team that was great and proved It was great." And in the Buckeye room, where silence was the keyword.

Coach Carroll Widdoes had much the same thing to say. "We played a good game," he said. "We have no excuses. But Michigan played a better game and they deserved to win." a WHEN MAX SCHNITTKER booted that 17-yard field goal for Ohio's three points, he wound up the season with two in three tries. One defeated Northwestern in the last SO seconds and the other at Michigan Stadium looked as if it would mean another Buckeye triumph until the Wolverines rolled in with their delayed touchdown drive.

Dan Dworsky, bigftreshman fullback, was the workhorse of a bruising afternoon. He was subbing for the injured Jack Weisenburger, but he played like a veteran. He carried the ball 20 times for 56 yards, while Pete Elliott, another freshman, was runner-up with 15 tries for a gain of 39 yards. These two were the only players who carried more than 10 times. In fact, they lugged the ball 35 of the 46 occasions Michigan ran for gains.

Jerry Krall replaced Ollie Cline, of the Bucks, as heavy man. Cline carried only seven times while Krall topped him by two. THE YEAR 1945 has been a great one for Coach Crisler and for Athletic Director Crisler. He defeated Bernie Bierman, of Minnesota, for the first time in his coaching career. He now has a triumph over Widdoes to boast at least one victory over every mentor In the Western Conference.

And on top of such an achievement, Crisler, the athletic director, has seen Michigan shatter all attendance records. SMJTH. Big Ten Standings Pet.
