PAGE TWO TILE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, JANNARY$ 198th PAETOTEMIHG NDIY HRDYTANAYA1IE v w.++s. w.sf yr l..ws i/iiiVi Vf if7VV A Tech By JOE O'NEILL It seems like Michigan's hockey team came to Boston one cday too early to play in the Boston Arena Annual Christmas Hockey Tour- nament; last December 27, 28, and 29. After splitting with Denver1 five days earlier, Michigan was bomb- ed by Boston University in the opener 7-2, then they played their finest game of the series, losing to Michigan Tech, 7-6. In the con- solation game for third place they finally got on the winning side as they skated circles around Northeastern by a 6-2 score. Never Close In the B.U. game, the Wolver- ines never were close to the Ter- riers, as B.U. jumped off to a quick 3-0 lead in the first period. 7akes In this period, Michigan had five shots on B.U.'s goalie Ferreira. If it hadn't been for Hers Michigan might have been of the Michigan Tech contest before the final period.nThe ond game of the tourney age Tech was undoubtedly Michi finest game of the series. Her came up with 36 valuable save compared to 28 for Tech's America goalie Tony Esposito The number of shots takes both clubs is one indicatio the wide open hockey playe this game. Both clubs receiv standing ovation from the Bc audience for their fine exhib of hockey. Michigan scored . and then Tech caught up, that was the pattern of the g Title; only except for one extra goal Jack got in the second frame. Down by One eAt'g Icers Tech Michigan was trailing by one with three and a half minutes to go in the game when Dean Lucier had a clear shot' on Tech's goal. Esposito saved off his pads, but Michigan kept up the fight until the final buzzer with several other close plays that could have given them the game. In the first period, Tech came from behind twice to tie. Michi- gan goals by Bill Lord and Bob Baird were offset by Ricky Yeo and Ed Caterer. Baird's was one of four that this talented junior collected in this game. It was a perfect pass from Captain Mel Wakabayashi, who drew Esposito to the side of the net and then passed to Baird, who was alone in front of the crease. In the second period, Tech got their extra goal and led 5-4 at the end of the period. Baird got two more this period, both on 2-on-i situations. Both times he received fine centering passes from Wakabayashi. Helpful Infractions The second period was also marked by some helpful Tech penalties. Both times when Tech had men sent to the "sin bin," as it's called in Boston, Michigan took advantage of the extra man and scored. Michigan tied it up in the third period on a goal by Dan Walter, assisted by defenseman Dean Lucier. The tie was short-lived, however, as the aroused Huskies fought back and went ahead for good 20 seconds later. In the Northeastern game, it was again Baird and Wakabayashi who provided the spark for Mich- igan. Northeastern wasn't a strong team, but they had performed well against Tech and B.U. in the preceeding days. Baird scored two goals and an assist. Wakabayashi, playing with a badly bruised foot which was heavily taped, picked up three more assists. Northeastern played well in the i LOSE 6-2, WIN 5-2: '1WI' Splits First, WCHA Series Third The win was Michigan's only victory, and left the defending champs with third place in thei tourney. Michigan Tech and B.U. were battling it out for the champion- ship on the night that Michigan played Northeastern. B.U. scored twice in the first period, Tech once. The score stood that way until 10:16 of the final period, when Tech erupted for a four goal outburst to take the game and the championship from B.U. B.U. is undoubtedly the best team in the East, and this could have been a preview of the upcom- ing NCAA finals in late March. B.U. and Tech dominated the all- tournament team, B.U. placing seven out of twelve, and Tech putting 3 on the team; Michigan Tech's Tony Esposito was voted the game's most valuable player. Michigan's captain Mel Wakaba- yashi was placed on the all- tourney team, and Northeastern's Jimmy Leu rounded out the selec- tions. Sophomore Harold Herman seems to be a strong choice for the starting goalie position. Greg Page had been alternating with Herman before this series, but he took sick on the way back from the Denver games. He was in health service for a while, but appears to be all right now. The lines are still a little weak in their passing, although when they do have good chances to score they take advantage of them. Mel Wakabayashi and Bob Baird have been teaming up to light the lamp for Michigan for many important goals. Koviak's Detroit line has been skating well, but several times Tech and B.U. skated right past Michigan in the tourney. Looking forward to the upcom- ing WCHA action, the team will be in pretty -good shape physically. Page is back, and Wakabayashi's foot is healing. He suffered a pulled groin muscle, but it does not appear to be too serious. Individual Scoring GET YOUR NEW CARD FOR '66 0 Fill out application below.

State St. Ann Arbor 662-1313 6 By JIM TINDALL Splitting a two game hockey; series may be like kissing your sister, but Michigan's icers are having considerable trouble getting. out of this domestic rut. The Wolverines opened their WCHA season over the holidays in Denver and the icemen dropped their first game 6-2, but bounced back to cop the rematch 5-2. The split was the third in four two- game series this season. but this last one may be more encourag- ing as the team came back to win the second game instead of folding in the second game after winning, the first easily.7 Season Mark The split gives Michigan a 6-51 record overall with a 1-1 stand- ard in WCHA play. Coach Al Renfrew explained that the team had two "off nights" in their five-game holi-i day activity and that the first of those was in the initial game with' Denver. He added that ""This is perhaps to be expected because~ of the number of young players on the team." Opening their WCHA season in the Denver Arena is comparable toa the basketball team playing their1 first game in St. John's arena, and up until lately Denver's home rec-' ord was like that of the LSU football team. In the Tuesday night encounter the young icers were faced with a large, opposing crowd for the ffirst time this sea- son. On two weekday nights Den- ver's arena -resounded with the screaming crowds numbering 3,- 779 and,3,895 (a far cry from the scattering of fans who have wit- nessed the non-conference en-; counters at the Coliseum thus far, this year). Renfrew Pleased Renfrew said on Monday that he was pleased with the way that the team had performed against Denver, especially soph . goalie Harold Herman who started both games at Denver and all three at the Boston area tourney five days later. Greg Page, last year's start- er, was ill and didn't make the Boston trip. In the first game Michigan scored first as Mike Martilla beat veteran goalie Buddy Blom at 13:45 of the first period. The as- sist was credited to his brother Lea. The Brothers Martilla, Inc. came up against their counterparts in Denver in the Wiste Boys who were instrumental in engineering a Michigan defeat in the first game. Bounce Back The Pioneers came right back with a goal only 39 seconds later (the Wiste Bros. each getting an assist) and another shortly before the period closed. The first period was scarred with five penalties which when added to the eight infractions of the second and third period equal a traditionally rough game. Tom Shiller appears to have been the Michigan "bad boy" as he was sent out to cool his skates and his temper on three separate occa- sions (and added a fourth penalty on Wednesday). Denver got the first goal of the second period from J. Wiste and that proved to be the margin that put the game out of reach for the Wolverines. Down by Two Michigan managed to get back to a two goal. deficit on Barry MacDonald's goal at 13:16 of the period, but after that Michigan pressed in an effort to get back in the game and gave up two more goals in the third period. Two of the Pioneers' goals were scored while Michigan was short- handed and Coach Renfrew com- mented, "The team did not take advantage of the chances we had to score." On Saturday night it was a dif- ferent team. A team that skated and shot well and was never be- hind. Playing before another large crowd Bruce Koviak scored the only goal of the first period as he tallied at 6:23. Wakabayashi and MacDonald picked up assists on the tally. Cleaner Game In what was generally a cleaner game Bill Lord picked up the first of his hat trick of penalties of the evening in the first period. Schiller upped the margin to 2-0 at 2:33 of the second stanza when he beat Blom with an assist from Bob Baird. J. Wiste came back to score for the Pioneers a few minutes later, but Bob Fer- guson netted the winning tally at 14:22 on assists from Wakabaya- shi and MacDonald. The Pioneers were game however and they fought back four minutes later to score as the second period closed with Michigan holding a slim 3-2 lead., Mike Martilla TKO'ed the Den- ver icers with his first of two third period goals at 3:39 with Baird getting another assist. Mar- tilla also picked a cripple in the last stanza as he popped the puck into an open net at 18:42. Seem Ready The Wolverines seemed ready to play in Boston on the basis of their Wednesday evening victory, but they dropped their first game with Boston. Thus the problem of trying to develop consistency came back to haunt Coach Renfrew. His can go from hot to cold or vice versa in 24 hours, but it will take more than a .500 mark to win the WCHA this year so Renfrew hopes to find out what his team needs to put two games together and pick up a couple of series sweeps. The icers are now into the WCHA schedule and will play no further non-conference games. Michigan meets Minnesota in Min- neapolis for a two game series this weekend. 99CLIP COUPON VZ $1.59 TAMPAX BOX OF 40 $1.19 Limit One with Coupon Coupon Expires Jan. 13 zZ CLIP COUPON ;W $1.65 Barnes-Hinds Wetting Solution 'M $1.19 Limit One with Coupon Coupon Expires Jan. 13 r V CLIP COUPON Any 69c or 79c 0 TOOTH BRUSH 2 for $1.00 Limit Two with Coupon Coupon Expires Jan. 13 W; CLIP COUPON 95c CREST TOOTH PASTE 677 Limit One with Coupon Coupon Expires Jan. 13 4 G 5 8 9 6 6 7, 3 4 3 1 3 0 0 0 1 0 55 41 A Pts.
