REGULAR SHIRTS FINISHED UPON REQUEST. 23c EACH ADDITIONAL l By JIM STOMMEN "Our wings were forechecking harder and our defense was drop- ping back to protect the ;goal," said Michigan hockey coach Al Renfrew in explaining Michigan's 4-0 victory over Toronto last Sa- turday night, following a 4-3 de- feat at the hands of the same team on Friday night. "Butts (Dave), sophomore goal tender) turned in a fine perfor- mance Saturday night and our defense tightened up consider- ably," With these few words Ren- frew summed up the reasons for the Michigan victory on Saturday night, following the game Friday night, in which the team hadnot been able to settle down and play steady hockey. Experience Helps The importance of having game experience showed Saturday night, as the Michigan team, which had played its first game of the night before, out-checked, out-passed, and out-shot their Toronto op- ponents, who had played their ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF OPTOMETRY announces that applications for admission to its classes begin- ning September 1, 1961, are now being received. 3-year course of professional study leading to the degree, DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRANCE. 2 years (60 sem. hours or equivalent qtr. hours) in speci- fied liberal arts and sciences. Write for bulletin to: fourth game of the season in the series opener. The defense cleared the puck with more authority on Saturday night, avoiding the troubles they were plagued with the previous night when the pressing of the Toronto forwards kept the puck in the Michigan end of the ice most of the game. The Michigan skaters take on North bakota in the WCHA open- er in Ann Arbor this coming Fri- day and Saturday nights. The NoDaks, who defeated Michigan twice last year, have nine return- ing lettermen on their roster from last year's third-place WCHA team. They come into the Michigan series with a 1-3 record, having won their league opener, 6-4, over Michigan Tech, then dropping their next three games to Tech, ~including a 5-3 loss last Saturday night. They carry a 2-3 overall record, having beaten the Estevan Bruins, 6-1, in their season opener. NoDak's Count on -Sophs j Sophomores carry the key to the success of the NoDak team, although Coach Barry Thorndy- craft does count on experienced seniors George Gratten and Cap- tain John Gray. Gratten has been in goal for 35 North Dakota games, and Gray came on with a rush at the end of last season to become one of the better defensemen in the WCHA. Butts, whose shutout Saturday night broke a six-game Michigan losing streak extending over two seasons, defenseman Don*Rodgers, and wings John McGonigal and Larry Babcock are the leading sophomores on the Michigan ros- ter. Babcock joins Gordon "Red" Berenson and Al Hinnegan to form the line that proved the most ef- ficient, scoring-wise, over the week-end series. Berenson fired in four goals during the two games to lead all Michigan scorers, and Hfnnegan added a goal in the Saturday night victory, to give this line five goals to its credit. Defensemen Play Well Defensemen Butch Nielsen, John Palenstein, and Rodgers played well during the series, particularly in Saturday's game, as their sharp checking and passing kept the Toronto forwards from pressing the attack on the Michigan goal. Their play was an important fac- tor in Butts' shutout. Joe Lunghammer and Pat Cush- ing played strong games in the Saturdayecontest, after having re- ceived minor injuries in Friday's encounter. Lunghammer. received an assist on Bill Kelly's goal and Cushing just missed a score on. two hard-hit shots on the Toronto goal. E.

M, Illinois College of Optometry 3243 South Michigan Ave. Chicago 16, Illinois DON ROGERS .. good Job Semantics r NOW THAT THE Michigan hockey season is two games old, this might be a good time to lean back and evaluate the vocabulary of the sport. The current crop of fans just aren't as educated in hockey terminology as they once were. Evesdropping over te shoulders of Michigan coeds and their dates at the Coliseum last weekend was enough to convince this corner that a little brushing up would be useful. One sophomore male (obviously a sophomore that had seen at least one game last season and thus was an expert) kept yelling in his date's ear, "Pass it to the center." ,This would have been a pretty good trick (for her especially) since most of the times he yelled it, the puck happened to be behind the net or in the possession of the defense. By this weekend when North Dakota comes to town, this par- ticular fan will be somewhat more sophisticated because yet another rabid railbird in the front row taught him a new term. After itsten- ing to this second fan yell "to 'the point;" spectator number one decided that this was an improvement over his own advice' and for the last period concentrated his efforts on ch'eering the Wolverines "to the point." With unerring eye, this same fan was quick to. pot one /of, his favorites carrying the puck up the ice. "Look, honey, there's. Red Berenson. I told you he was the fastest skater on the ice," says he .. . as Dale MacDonald flashes by. He continues the process of initiating his wide-eyed companion into the complexities of the sport from north of the border, suddenly bursting out with, "He missed the puck!" as Carl White cuts across the middle, fakes a shot, drops the puck and forms a screen for John McGonigal's shot. "Oh," is his weak comment-after the play. It is to this loyal fan that this glossary is dedicated-this loyal fan whom the hockey team owes so much (two dollars, to be exact. IN ORDER TO CLARIFY the situation' as much as possible, defini- nitions will include wherever possible what the term does NOT mean as well as what it DOES mean. SLASHING-does not refer to the knifework you might have become familiar with at an evening high school sporting event in Detroint-it does refer to a somewhat more genteel use of a buntey object, a hockey stick, in much the same manned. This is an offense for which you are placed i) the penalty box. PENALTY BOX-is a small wooden cubicle into which overly-. zealous players are incarcerated for short periods. These are typically well policed since the North Dakota game two years ago when a NoDak student manager tried out some new four-letter words on a Wolverine defeneseman (who shall remain nameless) resting therein; This gentle soul promptly decided to try the hardness of this mana- ger's skull with his weapon and promptly started a full-scale donney- brook. RED LIGHT-This does not-repeat, does not-have any con- nection with any local houses of ill fame (of course there aren't) any such things, city fathers-I'm sorry.)--it does refer to a small colored bulb behind each goal tender which is flashed on when a goal "is scored. The fact that eager fingers have been employed in thepast has led to much discussion at times. GO BLUE-is a cheer intermittently put up by hockey fans when they tire of rubbing their hands together to create warmth. It has been known to have a strategic use. This happened last weekend when Toronto's Varsity Blues were lulled by this into a feeling of being wanted. ON THE FLY-is the term used to describe the substitution of, players while the game is in progress-it does not refer to.. (modesty forbids continuing in this vein!). FACE OFF-contrary to the opinion of the sweet young thing sitting in the next row, this does not mean that the goalie has tired' of wearing his mask-it refers to thie referee dropping the puck between two opposing players who proceed to batter the poor thing and hope for the best. ASSIST-Also contrary to the opinion of this girl, the referees were not giving an assist to the Toronto player who got to sit down for ten straight minutes Saturday night-he wasn't tired. It does refer to a point given in the score books to the player who passes the puck to one of his teammates who happens to be a little more accurate. ICING-"I'd be cold, too, if I had slid that far." Honest, fans, that's what she said when the referee called icing. This term in college hockey means sending the puck over two blue lines and behind the nets swithout being touched by a defensive player. BOARDING-when the referee called a boarding penalty, all of us in this particular coed's area held our breath to see if she would worry aloud about the poor boy losing a meal to two. She did. OFFSIDE-the football season being over, it was understandable that she expected the referee to step off five yards, but she didn't have to yell, "But they were' in our backfield too!"- The term means that another offensive player other than the man with the puck has crossed the defensive blue line first. There are many more, but if you use these this week, maybe next week we'll have some more for you.
