Holiday WIns d1
By DAVE WEIR
Michigan's hockey team has a'
100-1 record and two holiday
tournament championships to its
credit so far this season.
Yet Wolverine Coach Al Ren-
frew will be forced to "switch all
the lines around and experiment
with different combinations" in
the upcoming series with Denver.
Why? . In the words of Ren-
frew, "Mel is gone."
He is referring, of course, to
All-American center Mel Waka-
bayashi. now graduated and sign-
ed by the Detroit Red Wings.
Wakabayashi's departure leaves
the icers without their top scorer
of the past two years. He also

Denver Stronger
This year, Renfrew finds the
young Denver squad "a little
stronger than last year. They look
to be one of the best teams we will'
play all year."
The Pioneers are led by a
brother combination of senior
Jim and junior Wayne Wiste from
Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Jim is
the leading Denver scorer in
WCHA competition with two goals
and six asists while the younger
Wiste has netted three goals and
one assist in WCHA play.
Wing Lou Geddes is the second
leading Pioneer scorer in confer-
ee ice action. The senior has netted
three goals and a like number of
assists. As a sophomore, the Brit-
ish Columbia native led the Den-
ver icers in scoring with 18 goals

Brewer had originally helped to
set up the illegal money pot, but
he claimed ambition was not the
reason for revealing it. Yet he re-
mains the villain as far as any-
one at Illinois is concerned.
Combes, one of his close friends,
said, "I used to have a friend
named Mel Brewer. Now I've neverI
heard of the man."
Brewer's resignation was accept-
ed without regret.
The next step is uncertain. Some
have speculated that the Big Ten

players concerned. Others think
stronger penalties will be enacted.

dean of the Wisconsin Law School,
said the matter would be studied
at the April meeting. In an in-
terview with The Daily, Young
said he was uncertain what steps,
if any, would be taken. He em-
phasized that actions taken by the
Big Ten would probably influence
NCAA action.
What does seem clear though is
that Big Ten schools will be in for
more scrutiny from the public, the
press, and very possibly, from the
Big Ten itself.
