TUE MICHIGAN DAILY Eenfrew Guides Michigan Hockey Squac 1 am begins a school year w, now' Lor, of will be --simultaneously bolted'the WIHL over eligibility conflicts. The WIHL had furnished the Wolverines with competition from the Midwest since its formation in 1953. As a result Michigan did not have much chance to face the hockey powers in the East such as Clarkson and St. Lawrence. This year's schedule which is still only tentative, calls for games with St. Lawrence and Clarkson plus the usual series with Michi- gan State, North Dakota, Michi- gan Tech and Minnesota. The Wolverines hope to have a 24-game schedule with contests with several teams still -in the planning stage. The Wolverines hope that this will be a more fruitful year than last season. Besides the 'WIHL breakup, a couple of other unexpected events happened to the Wolverines. Michigan State beat Michigan for the first time in 35 games span- ning. over 30 years. On February 8, at East Lansing, the Spartans pull- ed the trick by a score of 4-2. Dur- ing the course of the season, the Spartans were able to beat the Maize and Blue in three of four meetings.. Michigan also failed to qualify year me- igan for the NCAA playoff for the first time since the playoffs began 11 years ago. Michigan had to play many: league games before Christmas vacation and Renfrew handi- capped with a sophomore laden squad found his team virtually eliminated from contention before. the second semester set in. Ren- frew's squad finished the year with a 9-14 record. This paints a very dismal pic- ture of Michigan hockey which seems to be experiencing a decline but there are also some bright spots. Renfrew Exhibits Ability Renfrew has shown in his brief tenure as coach that he is a fine teacher of hockey. ;Renfrew start- ed his- career at Michigan as one of its top players on the Michigan. teams of the late 1940's. He was playing under the man he replaced at the Michigan helm, likable Vic Heyliger, who resigned at the end of last season to go into business. Renfrew spent the intermittent six years between his service and his return to Michigan coaching at Michigan Tech and at North Da- kota. His fine records compiled at those schools reveal his inherent coaching .ability. At 32 he is one of the youngest coaches in collegiate hockey. He is the fourth coach in Michigan hockey history, which dates back 36 years. Another bright spot in the Mich- igan hockey picture is the fact that only two players were lost from last. year's squad-Captain Neil McDonald and Ed Switzer. The fact of so many returning men for the 1958-59 season makes the Wolverines future as a hockey power look very hopeful indeed. - Stronger Defense The defense should be much stronger as newly elected Captain Bobby Watt joins Ross 'Hudson' and Warren Wills with a:'year's exper- ience under them. Barrie Hayton will also be back at defense. Ross Childs will be back tending the nets. He has steadily improved as a goalie and should rank as one of the top in the nation. Gary Starr, Bob White, Delky Dozzi, John Hutton and Gary Mattson will furnish a potent for- ward line. hether you are a Freshman or a Senior, 'ou ore Eligible to Rush Fraternities " 0 " U U INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL USED wishes to announce FRATERNITY :TOBER 5-OCTOBER 19 TEXTBOOKS RUSHING ULRICH'S has The Largest Stock In Michigan ANOTHER SAVE - Michigan goalie Ross Childs pu attempted goa: away from the nets.
