On the steps of the State Capi-
01 Building in Denver, embedded
:rever in concrete, a little bronze
ign reads, "Height Above Sea
evel, 1,760 Feet."
To many touring groups and vis-
ors it means "Stop!" Take a
icture.
To the Michigan hockey team,
s 'slim Western Collegiate Hock-
y Association lead again in jeop-
rdy, it carries an ominous warn-
r1g.
For here, where outside football
nd basketball teams often balk
t scheduling games and the op-
osition of the Denver Pioneers is
ormidable, the Wolverines will
ake their stand. Tonight!
Lose to Denver

If Denver prevails tonight, or
or that matter if Michigan loses
nother WCHA game, the Wolver-
nes will need help from either
[ichigan State or Minnesota to
egain the league lead.
Michigan Tech stands 13-3 with,
our games left to play, all at
ome. Michigan is 10-2 with six
ames left, including tonight's.

It's not a particularly joyful pic-
ire for Coach Al Renfrew's
:iarges, but going for them to-
ight will be the three days they
ave spent adapting to the mile-
igh atmosphere, a desire to
venge Tuesday's loss and bring
ome the first Michigan victory
ver a Denver team since 1956,
rid the experience gained in two
ther such tests this season.
Hold Firm
In each of them the Wolverines
eld firm. At Michigan Tech'"after
4-2 beating in the opener of a
vo-game set, they reversed the
ore for the second night. A week
ago Michigan rebuked Michigan
State's challenge with a two-game
sweep.
Oddly enough, Tuesday's loss
came by the same 4-2 score which
the Wolverines have avenged twice
in a year's time in similar situa-
tions.,
Last year at Minneapolis, Min-
nesota opened with a 4-2 victory
only to see Michigan duplicate the
feat the next night. Michigan Tech
had the same experience a month
ago.
In each of the losses the oppo-
sition got the jump. Tuesday Den-
ver opened up a 2-0 lead on goals
by Trent Beaty and Jon Art be-
fore Ron Coristine narrowed the
count to 2-1 midway through the
second period.
That was as close as the Wol-
verines got as Jerry Duffus and
Ken Williamson sandwiched Jer-
ry Kolb's third period goal with
DU scores.
Wednesday night, with Beren-
son taking over the WCHA scoring
leadership in the process, Michi-
gan didn't wait.
Berenson and Coristine fired
home two goals apiece and Larry
Babcock and Ross Morrison each
added one to give the Wolverines'
a 6-0 margin before the winless
and ineligibility ridden Colorado
College sextet could score. Five
of the goals came in the first per-
iod.
Berenson Stars
Goals by Kolb midway through
the second period and early in the
third interspersed with three CC
tallies ran the score to 8-3 before
Berenson went to work on what
must be the fastest "hat trick"
ever recorded.
In 54 seconds he had increased
the Michigan lead to 11-3 and
made himself the second leading
single-season goal getter in Mich-
igan's distinguished hockey his-
tory. Wayne Kartusch added the
12th goal to finish the rout.
The school record of 37 was
set by Neil Celley in 25 games in
1951-52. Berenson has 30 goals in
18 games, one more than the 29
registered by Bill McFarland in
the 1954-55 season. And Berenson
has seven games to go, not in-
cluding the playoffs.

1ISCHINGER TRAILS RAYL:
Hoosier Hotshot Tops Big Ten Scoring
BY TOM WEBBER
After battling with Jerry Lucas
nd finally winning the Big Ten
coring championship for the last
wo years, Purdue's Terry Disch-
zger finds himself trailing Indi-
na's Jimmy Rayl this year.
Rayl, a skinny 6'1" junior guard
ho averaged only four points a
ame last year, is now averaging
hefty 31.6 points a game for the
oosiers this year. Included in his
fforts this season was a 56 point
total against Minnesota which
broke the 52 point record former-
ly held by Dischinger.
More Points
Dischinger has scored more
points than Rayl, 232-158, but has
played three more Big Ten games
and has a 29.0 average. The Boil-
maker star is scoring at a 49.3
per cent clip, but has taken only
nine more shots than Rayl despite
the three game advantage. Disch-
inger's real forte is getting fouled
and making 83.8 per cent of the
subsequent foul shots. He has tak-
en 117 foul shots in his eight
games and made 98 of them.
A close third in the scoring race
is Iowa's Don Nelson with 169
points in six games and a 28.2
average.
Lucas Leads
Lucas leads the conference in
two departments, but is a run-
away in both. In seven games he
has hauled in 129 rebounds, 40
more than his closest rival, Disch-
inger, who has played one more
game. Lucas also is shooting, at
a fantastic 69.9 percentage, 9.3
per cent higher than the second
place Nelson.
If Lucas maintains his present
clip he will break the current Big
Ten mark of 65.6 per cent set by
the 1960 Jerry Lucas. If he breaks
this record it would relegate the
1961 Jerry Lucas to third place
on the all-time list.
Another Record
Dischinger is also approaching a
Big Ten record, but it will take
some prolific scoring I in his re-
maining six varsity games to break
it. Dischinger has thus far scored
1,021 in his three year varsity ca-
reer and ranks third behind Paul
Ebert, Ohio State, and Indiana's
Don Schlundt.
Ebert scored only 1,027, so
Dischinger should overtake him in
the next game. Schlundt, however,
scored 1,207 in his three year var-
sity career, but also played four
more games than Dischinger will
play.
Michigan's top listed scorer in
the Big Ten is Tom Cole with 84
points and a 16.8 average in his
five games, which puts him 11th.
John Oosterbaan is tied for 20th
with Ohio State's Mel Nowell with
a 13.6 average.

tified the NCAA Hockey Tourna-
ment Selection Committee yester-
day that it does not wish to be
considered for participation in the
1962 tournament.
However, the Crimson hockey
team will take part in the Eastern
Intercollegiate (ECAC) post-sea-
son event, if invited.
With a 13-4 record, Harvard's
hockey team is ranked among the
best teams in the east.
The 10-man faculty committee
indicated opposition, to the NCAA
tournament on two grounds: the
length of the season and the na-
ture of the post-season event.
