Gophers Beat
Michigan Six
Again, 2-0


Wally Youngbauer Scores Both Points for Minnesota Team.

The University of Minnesota hockey team continued its string of unbroken victories when it defeated the University of Michigan six in a conference hockey game at the university rink Tuesday night, 2 to 0.

Wally Youngbauer, Gopher center, was responsible for both of the Gophers' scores. The Minnesota pivot man also played a brilliant checking and passing game.


Minnesota's first counter came in the initial period after a Michigan rush up the ice was halted by the Minnesota center, who took the puck through the Wolverine defense and shot a fast one past the Wolverine goalie. Toward the close of the period Youngbauer, after Olson had taken a short shot from the side, took the rebound and pushed the disc into the net for the second and final tally of the game.
