Now Barden, who met Jaklich at 191 in last year's Big Ten Meet and lost, has not lost a match for the last two years-except for three to Jaklich. However, Barden has been improving against his Evanston nemesis, and this year's dual meet, lost to Jaklich 5-4 on two points in the last ten seconds. The meet will be scored in the following manner: first place in a division, 10 points; second, 7; third, 4; fourth, 2; each fall, de- fault, or forfeit, 1; and each advancement in a round, 1. (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of two articles analyzing Michigan's chances in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association play- offs which begin tonight at the Coliseum. Today's article deals with Michigan and Denver, the contest- ants of tomorrow night's game.) By JIM BERGER The Denver hockey team, after losing five All-Americans and with only seven returning lettermen, is again contending for the WCHA title and Michigan is its first obstacle. At the season's outset, nobody figured Denver to be contending for anything. Gone were Jerry Walker (53 goals), Bill Master- ton, George Konik, Marty Howe, Grant Munro, George Kirkwood, et al. Pioneer Coach Murray Arm- strong had to break in a new goal- ie, a new defense, plus add scor- ing punch, a task for any coach. The Pioneers started off as ex- pected. They won two from Colo- rado College before encountering Michigan Tech. The Huskies brought quick disaster at Denver with 16 goals in two nights. Twice more the Huskies swamped Den- ver. This time at Ioughton-13' goals in two nights. Tide Turns But the tide began to turn. The Pioneers took three out of four from North Dakota. The big surprise came during Michigan's Western swing. The first-place Wolverines were jolted twice by Denver. The Pioneers emerged. What happened to the Pioneers? "The team started off slowly. We had some trouble with our goalie and defense," said Armstrong while in Ann Arbor. Leading Denver in scoring is senior right winger Trent Beatty! with 26 WCHA points. Linemate and center Ken Williamson ranks second on the team with 23 points. Jack Wilson, the only veteran de- fenseman is the highest scoring defenseman in the WCHA with three goals and 17 assists. Other leading scorers among the Pio- neers are Bill Staub (22 points), Dominic Fragomini (19) and Mar- shall Johnston (18). Statistical Edge Statistically, Michigan is better than Denver in almost every way. Red Berenson (41 points) and Gordon Wilkie (35 points) are the WCHA's two top scorers. Both Dave Butts and Bob Gray top the league's goalies. But Michigan Is inferior to the Pioneers in one respect, depth. The Wolverines have skated three defensemen all year, and in sev- eral instances forwards have been called upon to play defense. A groin injury to defenseman Wayne Kartusch may further handicap the Wolverines. Kar- tusch was injured against West Germany, and may not be at full strength tomorrow night. However, Michigan has an ad- vantage, home ice. "It is at least a 20 per cent advantage," said Armstrong. But Denver hadn't lost at Michigan for 'four straight years, but again Michigan hasn't lost at home this year.

It's liable to be the best game of the play- offs. * * * Red Stymied Again Contrary to a rash of news- paper publicity, both local and otherwise, Red Berenson is not one goal away from the all-time Michigan scoring record held by Neil Celley. Celley scored 40 goals in the 1951 season and not 37 as had been reported. Who uncovered the glaring mistake? Statisticians? Publicity directors? Berenson? Smart-alek sport reporters? NQpe, none of these. It was Mrs. Neil Celley who finally stood up and guarded her husband's rights. "We think Red is the best thing on ice, since Neil," she said, "but if he wants that record, he's going to have to work for it." Celley, who is on campus working on a mas- ters degree led the Wolverines to an NCAA championship that year with his 40 goals and 39 assists. Berenson has a paltry 36 goals and 25 assists. Not only is Berenson farther away from the record than thought, but now he will probably get the Roger Maris treatment- you know, the asterisk bit. The reason being that Celley set his record in a total of 25 games- 23 regular season games and three playoff goals. Berenson, alas, has already played in 25 games. New!

ZBT fought back only twice - to tie the score at halftime and to win in the final seconds. The ZBT team wa sled by the all-around talent of Dan Stone who tallied 18 points.
