___THE MICHIGAN DAILY kfichigan Seeks Revyenge; 1ooking for Two Wins in Away Contests Mariners To Face MSU, 0 NCAA Titlists To Clash 11 I By MIKE GILLMAN Wolverine coach, Al Renfrew, will take his hockey team to Houghton, Michigan, tonight for a weeken1d twin bill. The Michigan squad will be in hopes that Michigan Tech will prove to be as hospitable hosts as the Wolverines showed themselves to be in the first two meetings of these clubs this year. . The Huskies of John Maclnnes traveled to Ann Arbor in early January and took home two big wins for their weekend's work. Tech's 3-2 and 10-2 victories over Michigan established Maclnnes' team as leading contenders for one of the two Midwest NCAA playoff berths. Losing Streak For Michigan meanwhile, the series showed the dark days that were to come as the Wolverines have won only one of the .eight games played since that weekend. Both teams will be looking to get back on the win trail. Michi- gan..droppedtwo toMinnesota last week and Tech tied one and lost one in a series with Colorado Col-' .lege. The victory-starved Wolverines; have an extra incentive to take at least one of the games as cap- tain Bobbie Watt will be remem,- bering the in jury he suffered in the first Tech series. Coach Ren- frew feels that this will be Watt's first weekend at full strength since the accident. Tech Needs Two Tech has to take both games in the series to stay in contention for the Troy, N.Y. playoffs. Even one win by Michigan over their north- ern hosts could permit Minnesota or the newly-eligible Denver squad. to take the second spot. On the basis of records thus far, Michigan State appears a safe bet for one of the places. A former teammate of Renfrew here at Michigan, Maclnnes has had a wealth of material to work with this season. One player in particular the Huskies are boost- ing for All-American honors is goalie George Cuculick. The junior net-minder has been a big factor in Tech's rise from the cellar of last year's WIHL to this year's playoff contender. Cuculick and three strong lines will be a troublesome combination .as Michigan takes to the road to- night. Small Squad Renfrew will again, be bringing a small squad onto the ice in comparison to the 17 pucksters that Tech will dress. As Renfrew noted in practice early in' the week, "It's awful to contemplate, but it looks like we'll have to fin- ish the season with only two lines.", By BUZ STEINBERG Swim coach Gus Stager and his band of mariners will battle Mich- igan State in a Conference meet tonight at East Lansing. The Wolverines, who have re- mained undefeated in more than two years, are hoping to chalk up another victory. Stager remarked, "We'll attempt, to better Yale's consecutive win record of 176, but there is still a long way to go." Three Strong Opponents Tonight may prove to be a stumbling block, for the aquamen will face three of the country's top swimmers-Don Patterson, Frank Modine, and Bill Steuart. Patterson holds the NCAA rec- ord in the 100-yd. freestyle. His top time of 49:4 puts him slightly ahead of Michigan's Frank Le- gaki. There is a possibility that either one might push the other hard enough to set a new record. Modine is the defending NCAA champ in the 100-yd. and 200-yd. breaststroke. His amazing times of 1:05.0 and 2:23.4 are- a few tenths of a second better than Wolverine Cy Hopkins who's best 'in the 200- yd. is 2:23.7. The odds are favor- able for a new record to be set in ione of these events. Another Spartan, Steuart, junior distance star from South Africa, will be facing Dick Hanley, Amer- ican and world record holder of the 220 (2:01.5). This race is another toss up and as Stager put it, "Hanley has the speed and Steuart, the condition- ing." Since the caliber of the evening's competition is high, an interesting meet is in store; and hopefully, another victory. BIG GUN-Michigan's leading scorer, John Hutton, has recovered from last week's injury and will see action in the weekend series at Michigan Tech.

In previous years on the ice, Hutton had played at the wings. He remained at that position until the Wolverine coach, Al Renfrew, decided to move him to the center ice. Since the move was made, mir- acles have happened. Hutton, who had been a third stringer in his sophomore year, and throughout most of his junior year, has definitely gained new poise. As a result, he has become leading team scorer with seven goals and twenty-three assists for a total of thirty points. Renfrew commented, "Hutton has come a long way in the two years I have coached. He is one of the most improved players and can handle himself well on the ice. "He's a good shot, but he's even better in getting the puck to his wings." Although attributing his success to his new position, Hutton said, "Though I happen to be high point man at present, I feel that I am not as strong as at the beginning of the season. Our lack of depth has caused extra strain on all of us." Hutton, who has never taken his share of shots at the nets admitted, "I, don't have as much confidence in my shooting ability as I do in others'. Personally, I would rather set up a play for my teammates than take the shot myself." Last week in the Minnesota contest, Hutton was injured when one of the referees' skates punc- tured his right foot. This required three stitches. The swelling has now receded enough that he is able to put on a skate. He has responded well to treat- ment and should be ready to skate against Michigan Tech tonight. Burton Drops to Second in Conference Scoring; Still Holds Lead in Rebounds 11 A -~--- Ur WARD WS MO0NT7GO0M E-RY W A R0 By CLIFF MARKS M. C. Burton continues to lead Michigan's fourth-place cagers in their attempt to finish in the first division of this year's Big Ten race.' Big Ten basketball statistics re- veal that M. C. is still the rebound leader with 17.3 per game as com- pared to 16.9 per game for Michi- gan State's John Green. However, in their head to head battle last Saturday, Green outrebounded Burton 21 to 13. Lost Lead That game did cost M. C. his scoring leadership as he could only manage 11 points. He now holds down 'second behind . Minnesota's Ron Johnson who has an average of 23..3 points to 22.4 for the Wol- verine star. M. C.'s phenomenal .805 free throw percentage has helped to keep him near the top, although Roger Taylor of Illinois is the leader in this department with a mark of .882. George Lee and John Tidwell, two other Michigan stalwarts, are tenth and fifteenth in the league scoring race with averages of 19.1 and 16.4 respectively. Terry Miller, the fourth member of the Wolver- ines with an average better than 10 points per game, is in twenty- fourth place. Weak from Floor As a team, Michigan is tied for first with Ohio State in free throw shooting with a percentage of .699. .However, the Wolverines are' weak from the floor as their field goal mark of .371, ninth in the league, shows. This shooting lack also is evidenced in the scoring race as Burton, Lee, and Tidwell have the worst field-goal percentages of the top 20 scorers. Another interesting note on scoring is that the Wol- verines have outscored the Big Ten opponents by only one point in nine games, 743-742. State Dominates Looking at the Big Ten race from a statistical viewpoint, Mich- igan State's dominance is no sur- prise. The well-balanced Spartans lead the league in only one depart- ment, rebounds, but are second in scoring behind Illinois, fourth, in defense with Minnesota on top, second to Wisconsin in drawing fouls, and have his exactly 40 per cent of their field goal attempts. Purdue leads with a mark of 42.5 per cent. This balance, along with the presence of "Jumping Johnny Green," will make the Spartans tough to beat from here on in. As far as Michigan's first divi- sion hopes, they rest mainly on M. C. Burton's ability, which could use an assist from improved fie'ld goal shooting and better defensive play on the part of the Wolverines. DECALS Your name made into a decal.

Newcomers Rich Donley and Gary Kane have shown themselves able to step into th breach in the event of a loss of one of the starters by injury or via the foul route. These two could make a differ- ence before the year is out. IS YOUR HAIR GETTING YOU HARD OF HEARING . CAN'T SEE TOO GOOD .. DOWN... HOW 'BOUT A HAIRCUT.
