THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE ' THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THE EXTRA POINT by JIM BERGER aU Bad Belters No More Hockey is a game of finesse, quick reflexes, superlative skating" and teamwork. It is also one of the roughest games imaginable, and if you don't believe it, go down to the Michigan Coliseum tonight or tomorrow night and watch the war 'on ice between Michigan and Minnesota. The Wolverines and Gophers have a tradition for rough and tumble hockey. Michigan Coach. Al Renfrew, who has been associated with Michigan hockey for over 20 years as a player and coach, testi- fies that as long as he remembers this has been one of the toughest series. Three years ago, during the '60-'61 season things got so bad that both teams agreed to a one year cooling-off period where neither scheduled each other. Last year the series resumed, and the two teams belted their way through four games. The Gophers, who finished fourth in the WCHA las season won two games. The other two games ended in ties. This year, Michigan has been the surprise of the Western Collegiate, Hockey Association. The Wolverines have plowed through Michigan Tech, Michigan State, and Colorado College. Their one loss has been to those Gophers at Minnesota where the two teams split earlier this season. y 'cer By DICK REYNOLDS Michigan hockey fans are in for a real treat this weekend when the Wolverine icemen take on Minne- sota in a two-game series at the Coliseum. Flying high on the crest of a ten-game winning streak, the Maize and Blue squad of Coach Al Renfrew will be out to strength-! en its hold on first place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Asso- ciation, and in doing so will trv, to settle some old scores with the Gophers. The Michigan-Minnesota series1 has long been known as one of the bitterest in collegiate hockey circles. No Secret It's no secret that whenever these two teams get together on the ice the spectators are in for some close bard-checking hockey to say the least. In the 151 meet- ings between the two schools, Michigan has won 66 and lost 74, 11 games have ended in a t2. The Minnesota sextet is likely to be in a mean mood followin~g a pair of defeats at the hand. of lowly Colorado College last week- end, 8-4 and 7-6. The double loss to CC dropped the Gophers from first place to third in the WCHA standings with a 7-3 records. In th. first meeting this seasoni, To Risk Win Streak CHRIST'S RETURN past, future or-? Discussion-Refreshments the two teams split at Mioneapo- lis with Michigan winning the opener, 5-1. and losing the second game, 6.5.

Since that time however the Michigan team has shown great scoring balance with six players registering 10 goals or more )n the season statistics. Butlec nd Captain (ordie Wilke lead the Maize and Blue scoring parade with 49 pohta apiece. Close on the tail of the Butler- Wilke duo is sophomore Wilf Mar- tin, who has recorded 27 goals and 19 assists. The Mallaig, Alberta ceinter also leads the WCHA scor- ing race with nine goals and eight assists for 17 points. Another Addition Another important addition to the Michigan offense since the first meeting with the Gophers is Mel Wakabayashi, a pint-sized forward who has notched 13 goals and 11 assists since joining the squad at the beginning of the sec- ond semester. While Michigan's offense has received a great deal of publicity, mention must be made of the Blue's ~defensive corps of Tom Polonic, Ted Henderson, Barry MacDonald and Roger Galipeau. A questionable spot at the be- ginning of the season, the rapid improvement of the backliners coupled with the sparkling play of Bob Gray in the nets has been instrumental in Michigan's drive for WCHA and NCAA honors. Shows Value Gray showed his value in the Michigan State series last weekend when he ,performed almost flaw- lessly in goal. At East Lansing Friday night, the senior goal tend- er picked up his fourth shutout of the season, blanking the Spartans, 2-0. The following night he had his string of 156 minutes of shut- out hockey broken when MSU's Doug Roberts scored with two Michigan men in the penalty box. Wingman Roy Nystrom leads the Gopher attack with 12 goals and 15 assists in 20 games. Fol- lowing Nystrom is junior wing- man Craig Falkman with 23 points on 12 goals and 11 assists. Falkman ranks fifth in WCHA scoring with 13 points, while Ny- strom is ninth with 12 markers.

Roll Call of Rogues.. Sanborn listed a roll call of rogues which goes as follows: "Black Jack Cole, a crooked nosed introvert who cherishes the solitude of the sin box. "Bob Gray, a part-time pugilist from Owen Sound, Ont. "Tom Polonic, a silent smirking blackguard from Toronto. "Gary Butler, a swift and gifted artisan from Regina, Sask. Although, there's no doubt that the series at Minneapolis was the typical rough and tough Michigan-Minnesota clash, it's not hard to smell the sour grapes. Minnesota and its coach, the redoubtable John Mariucci have always cried that his poor Americans were whipped and bullied by those big, mean Canadians. It's a beautiful excuse for losing. To any Michigan hockey fan who has seen the Wolverines this year, the truth is obvious. Unlike former teams, Michigan plays good, fundamental hockey. This year's team has no superstars but a bal-" anced squad. Coach Renfrew strongly discourages any "dirty" tactics, and en- courages good, clean hockey. Michigan is a better hockey team than Minnesota, not a dirtier team, and if you don't believe it, go to the Coliseum this weekend.

State Street-Opposite Lane Hall l I Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics could float the bond issue, but the athletic department has always prided itself on main-r taining its self-sufficiency.c The arena, of course, would re-t place ancient Yost Field House as M i c h i g a n ' s basketball facility. Built in 1922-23, the Field House, has been given nicknames like "Morton Stadium" (when it rains, it pours) and "The Barn."1 Crisler, the guiding force in Michigan athletics for more than a quarter-century, explained, "At every Board meeting for the last 18 months. we've been hearing progress reports by the Subcom- mittee on Plant Expansion. "All I can say is, we're begin- ning to jell now. If we get the financing and approval taken care of, we're in a position to move pretty fast." Crisler said that he and other members of the athletic depart- ment have been touring the coun- try to look at other basketball arenas and will be making an- other trip next week. "The approach we've taken has been not to try to copy these other buildings, but to find out what the school would change if they had it to do over again," Crisler said. "We've collected quite a file of material." Agitation for a new arena dates back to the 1940's, when Yost was widely acclaimed as one of the worst facilities in the conference. Last year, when Illinois opened its awesome new Assembly Hall, Yost was left alone at the bottom of the Big Ten. The Athletic Department's cur- rent program of plant /expansion began with a preliminary report last May. The report said that a tentative arena "would be located north of Stadium Blvd. east of the Football Stadium so that asso- ciated parking lots, locker rooms, and public sanitary facilities could be used for football as well as basketball and other facilities. The new arena would be primarily a basketball facility although it would undoubtedly find bonus uses for popular entertainment, dances and commencement." The report estimated that "ar arena seating upward of 12,00( around a basketball floor could be constructed for approximately $S million." Crisler has indicated since ther that he would prefer an arena with 15,000 to 16,000 seats. Thi. is twice as many as Yost can seat, and four times as many, accord- ing to a national sports maga- zine, as Yost can seat with a viewo to the court.
