WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, :1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY FAME SEVEN WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1007 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN Icers Enter Playoff For NCAA Tourney SPORTS SHORTS: Bulls, Lakers Defeat Eastern Foes ATTENTION SENIORS By ANDY BARBAS "Ho, hum, we're glad that's out of the way, now we can get ready for the important games." Such is the reaction of the Micligan icers as they slumped to a fourth place finish in WCHA regular season competition, the result of a disappointing weekend with last place Minnesota. By ty- Ing one game and losing the other to the Gophers, the Wol- verines dropped from a second to a fourth place finish in the con- ference. If the icers had won the game that they lost, they would have placed second, or if they had won the game they tied, the Wolverines would have at least finished third. Mike Marttlla, the icers captain, explained the reason for the team's lackadasical showing, "After we lost to North Dakota and knew we couldn't win the championship, it really didn't matter where we end- ed up. Instead we started con- centrating on the NCAA tourna- ment." The NCAA competition is what the team means by the important games. With the regular season over, the Wolverines go into the WCHA playoffs looking for a berth in the NCAA tournament to be held in Syracuse, March 16-17-18. In the WCHA playoffs, two con- ference teams eventually make it to the NCAA tournament. To de- cide the teams, the eight school league is divided into half to de- termine the two representatives. Tomorrow night Michigan en- counters Michigan State in East Lansing and the winner will play the victor of the Michigan Tech- Duluth. contest. The team that survives that will be one of the four teams goin to the NCAA tour- nament. The other WCHA spot will be occupied by the victor of the contest between the Denver-Colo- rado College winner and the North Dakota-Minnesota winner. In discussing Michigan's chances of making it into the NCAA championships, Marttila felt that tomorrow's battle against the Spartans would be their hardest.'

MIKE MARTTILA "If we make it past Michigan State, our momentum should carry us past either Michigan Tech or Duluth." He also added that Mich- igan Tech, should probably beat Duluth. The outcome of the Western grouping is in even more doubt than the Eastern. Denver will probably overcome Colorado Col- lege, and unless Minnesota's goal- tending solidifies, North Dakota should beat the Gophers. It's a Denver - North Dakota meeting that is unpredictable. North Dakota is a fast skating team but might fall due to a lack of experience. Denver is a hard- checking, experienced team, but they will have to keep up with North Dakota's speed if they are to win. Both WCHA sections will probably be won by which ever team gets the breaks. No matter which teams go to the NCAA tournament, it is fairly certain that a representative from the WCHA will come out the champion. The league usually monopolizes the tournament and with the strength of this year's members, this dominance should continue. :B illboard.
