ARC' 9o.1962 THE MICHIGAN DAILY IRY 9, 1962 THE MICHIGAN DAILY 7 lcers at DU in 'Must' Win C>) By DAVE ANDREWS Associate Sports Editor 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 With Tuesday night's 4-2 loss o DU staring them in the face' nd Michigan Tech's Huskies atching hopefully from Hough- on, Michigan has to win. The 12- conquest of Colorado College Vednesday night which was key- d by Red Berenson's five goals idn't help much., 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. hree of them wil be here. 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.

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. Harvard lcers Nix .Tourney CAMBRIDGE (P)-Harvard no- 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.
