Its Winter Weekend in Hough-
ton, Michigan!
' This weekend brings t h e an-
nual winter t h a w at Michigan1
Tech as the normally subdued,
conservative, and thoroughly froz-
en campus rears its head above
the ice and snow and cuts loose
in an arctic version of the Mardi
Gras.
The activities of t h e festive
weekend usually include a double;
drubbing of the Huskie icers'
weekend foes.
At Michigan Tech it is the icers
not the gridders who are the pride
of the campus sports enthusiasts
and they seldom fail to accom-
f modate the boistrous student body
with a pair of victories on this'
most festive odcasion.
This weekend the Huskies' op-
position happens to be Michigan,
who in recent years have b e e n
their only obstacle to Tech's claim
of being the strongest collegiate
* hockey power in the state of
Michigan.
Last season the Wolverines were
home to defend a ten game win
streak when they met the Huskies
who were also in the thick of the
championship race. Then the
Huskies'did what few teams have
been able to do and swept the
series on Coleseum ice, knocking
Michigan out of the race for the
top spot in the WCHA.
This season the Wolverines go
into the contest free of the pres-
sure of being a first place conten-
der, with only third place at
stake.
The biggest incentive for the
Wolverines tonight and tomor-
row night may be to play spoiler
and knock Tech out of the race
for first place.
Tech is presently 7-4-1 and in
tiird place behind North Dakota
ahd Denver. A split with Michi-
gan would put the Huskies on the
verge of elimination and a iMch-
igan sweep, however unlikely
would make it "wait for the play-
offs" as it already is for the Wol-
verines.
A Wosverine sweep would also
shoot Michigan right past Tech
into third place. But Wolverine
mentor Al Renfrew wasn't over-
ly optimistic about the chances of
such a' sweep, noting, "it's tough
to talk about a sweep in Hough-
ton, Tech is rough any time but
they are especially murderous on
! home ice,"
fNevertheless, the Wolverines are
coming off of what was probably
their finest performance of t h e
season, last Saturday's 5-0 white-
washing of Minnesota, and Ren-
frew is hoping that the Wolver-
ines are finally untracked.
Indeed not only was the game
encouraging for the defense and
weary netminder Jim Keough,
who registered their first shut-
out of the season, but the series
also had some very encouraging
aspects for the offense. In last
week's series the Wolverine scor-
ing attack was more balanced
than in any series this season.
The eight goals tallied by Wol-
verines were countered by seven
different players. Only Doug Glen-
denning, a new name in the scor-
ing column, tallied twice. With
Glendenning, Brian Slack, and
Barney Pashak coming on in the
r last weeks all three Wolverine

lines are becoming genuine scor-
ing threats.
Michigan Tech is unlikely to be
in a party mood in spite of the
weekend festival. After a hard
earned split at Denver, where vis-
itors victories' over the past' two
years can be counted on two fing-
ers, the Huskies were than upset
Monday night by seventh place
Colorado College.
Anchored by a stingy defense
and a superb goaltender, Gordon
McRae, the Huskies have. allowed
opponents only 2.6 goals per game,
a figure only Denver can top.
The Huskie offense is one of
the most balanced in the league,
led by last year's team scoring
leader Al Karlander and linemate
Ed Shillington who were especial-
ly effective against Michigan last
season.
If the two arch rivals stay away
from the festivities and the par-
ties they should put on quite a
couple of fine shows themselves.

NCAA REMATCH:
Tankers gao south to sink SMU

Teammate George Byers is also
a defending champion in the 70-
yard low hurdles, and has a
chance to break his record of
:07.7. KU's Karl Saib could de-
molish the shfot put mark of 60'-
11 4", having put the shot 63'-
9" just last Saturday.
The Jayhawk's Stan Whitley is
another possible record-breaker in
the long jump, with a 25'-4%2"
mark already this season, well
ahead of the Relays standard of
24'-29 2".
And still another Kansan, Ken
Gaines, could set an impressive
{mark in the triple jump with his
ability' to surpass 50 feet.
Kansas does not have all the
potential record-breakers. Indiana
sophomore, Gary Haupert, is a
good bet to erase the record of 6-9
in the- high jump. He has already
cleared 7-01.
The 60-yard dash will probably
be the feature event of the meet.
Michigan State . freshman, Herb
Washington, has been unbeatable
in the distance so far this season.
He has twice equaled the Jenison
Field House mark of :06.1.
But he will have some tough
competition this week from In-
diana sophomores Larry High-
baugh and Mike Goodrich, West-
ern Michigan's Tom Randolph,
Eastern's Gene Thomas, Michigan
freshman, Gene Brown, and de-
fending champion and record-
holder Bill Hurd of Notre Dame.
Randolph and Hurd also could
smash the record of :304 in the

last week, but as Assistant Coach
Ken Burnley commented, "we
stress conditioning at Michigan.
We try to keep our boys progress-
ing so that when the speed really
counts, they will be able to stand
up to the competition."
Wolverine sprinter, Sol Espie,
will notcompete, in the sprint
medley relay squad this week
even though he turned in a tre-
mendous sprint of :21.9 last week
in his 220-yard leg. Ken Davey,
who placed last week, will not be
able to run in the 300 becauseof
the single competitor limit for the
field.
Michigan is not risking any in-
juries or stress In the early'sea-
son. It is the conference title they
want, and that will be decided in
three weeks at Illinois. In order
to win the title, they are using
the early meets to experiment and
test their runners.
