Often a source of dissatisfaction, the WCHA playoff format has been revised. Last spring the coaches and athletic directors of the eight member schools voted in Chicago to alter the system. In the past the playoff sites were award- ed to the top four finishers of the regular season. The first place team faced the cellar dwellars, the second place team met the seventh place team and so on. The four top teams had the home ice advantage. The play- offs commenced the Tuesday after the final league games and in the event of a tight race, there was great confusion. 1. Pipe broken?

That minute may have been spent as Paulists do, counsel- ing a questioning youth at a secular university, working in ghettos, saving a potential "dropout" or promoting bet- ter understanding of the Church and all religions.

Write to: that fifteen men have scored in double figures. They have a "good, consistent defense" according to coach Mac- Innes and "can check with any- body when they want to." The Wolverines must be con- sidered a threat. Dave Perrin, Michigan's leading scorer with 17 goals and six assists in WCHA play, Brian Slack, eight goals and 13 assists, and Barney Pashak, 11 and nine, lead the powerful blue offense. All-American Jim Keough guards the Michigan net. The icers S are hot. They have won their last s five contests handily, with a strong attack and a stingy defense. The secret to Wolverine success is fore-checking and skating. Vet- G eran forward Al Brook expressing - the team's feeling said, "If we skate, we can beat any team in the S1 country." The team is ready, and they need to be. Their Friday night opponent, Minnesota, is competent. They sport such standouts as the league's second and sixth highest scorers in Pete Fichuk and Bill Klatt. They have 31 and 29 points respectively. Also goalie Murray McLachlan, with a 2.7 goals al- lowed average, is a standout.

Denver and North Dakota are much stronger than Colorado and Duluth, who battled each other for last place. The WCHA has a new tourna- ment format. The NCAA repre- sentatives can be decided faster now with fewer games. Maybe the new procedure will lead to a new champion. Michigan fans hope so. -Daily-Andy Sacks Wolverine All-A merican Jim Keough 1 f O Everyone knew before the Big Ten wrestling championships be- gan in East Lansing last Friday that it would be very difficult for anyone to dislodge Michigan State from the conference throne it has occupied the last three years. "Of course State will be heavily favored," said Michigan coach Cliff Keen before the two-day pro- duction. "They've beaten all the contenders in dual meets and they don't have a weak spot in the line-up." However good the nationally third-ranked S p a r t a n s were, though, hardly anyone expected them to roll up a record 93 points, in the. process building up a 43- point bulge over second-place Iowa. The first bad omen for the other conference representatives came even before the first match was wrestled, when the pairings were made for each weight class. Every State entry except one was "seeded," which amounts to saying that State did not have to face any topflight competition un- til the semi-finals. In addition, the actual pairings themselves "could not have been better had we picked them our- selves," according to one East Lansing press box observer. For example, State's Gary Bissell at 123 avoided the bracket where Minnesota's Frank Nichols, who had beaten both Bissell and Mich- igan's Tim Cech, was wrestling. Iowa, the only team figured to give the Spartans any trouble at all, suffered its demise in thequar- terfinals Friday afternoon. The Hawkeyes, who like State had/ eight of their nine men seeded, lost three of their stronger entries to unheralded opposition in the opening round. The real shocker for Iowa came at 130 pounds, where highly-rated Joe Carstensen, sporting a 13-2 record, fell victim to Minnesota's Reid Lamphere. Likewise, second-seeded Tom Bentz at 123 and third-seeded John Irvine at 145 were upset, leaving Iowa with only six entries for the semi-finals and little chance to overtake State, which placed eight men in the same round. At this point, Michigan had a clear-cut chance to overtake the Hawkeyes for second place, as the Wolverines also placed six men in the Friday night round. The first match that evening shattered any such fantasies, as top-seeded Tim Cech was upended for the second straight week by Minnesota's Frank Nichols. By the end of the evening Michigan had placed only Pete Cornell and eventual champions Lou Hudson and Jesse Rawls in the finals, and Mike Rubin in the consolation finals. In contrast to Michigan's and Iowa's ragged showings, State placed seven men in the finals, and in the process actually clinched the conference championship that night with 73 points, before any of the finals matches had been wrestled.
