THE MICHIGAN DAILY I No Surprise: Berenson Signs Pact At the 19th Hole with Fred Steinhardt By JIM BERGER To the surprise of no one, Red Berenson has decided to give pro- fessional hockey a try. Berenson, who has been named to countless All-Conference, All- Tournament and All-American teams and who is one of the greatest if not the greatest col- lege hockey player in Michigan history, was always expected to turn pro. However, his recent de- cision was not expected to come when it did. A senior in business administra- tion, Berenson had planned on graduating before he undertook his professional career. But at Utica, N. Y., where the recent NCAA Hockey Tournament was held, he was approached by Mon- treal's head scout Ken Rearden. "I didn't want to talk to Red before the first game," said Rear- den, who first made contact on Friday after Michigan's loss to Clarkson. Makes His Move "I waited until Michigan had lost because I didn't want what I said to hurt his play any," he continued, "but when they lost, I decided to speak to him. "Berenson has a wonderful op- portunity. We've clinched first place and we're loaded with in- juries. He'll be able to take a regular turn out on the ice when he plays," said the Montreal scout. Under National Hockey League rules, an amateur can play a maximum of five games with an NHL team on trial. Berenson will play the remainder of the Cana- dian's regular schedule - three games. He played in Sunday night's game at Boston. "We're giving him this chance to show what he can do before we give him a contract for the year, which would entitle him to play in the Stanley Cup playoffs," said Rearden. Great Chance Rearden thinks Berenson has an excellent chance to make it with the Canadians. " Ie's got all it takes to be a pro. He can skate, shoot and is not afraid out on the ice," Rear- den went on, "but there are a few Ice rs' 24 Victories Impress Renfrew !I By JIM BERGER "It sure was a long season," were Michigan Coach Al Renfrew's words after last Saturday after- noon's win over St. Lawrence, "but it was a good one. "We played some really good, games," he continued, "and we won some important ones. "At the beginning of the year I frankly admit I didn't think the team would go as far as it did," Renfrew continued. "The new sophomores worked out very well I Women's Athletic Association and the Michigan Union Announce PETITIONING for SPRING WEEKEND CO-CHAIRMEN (Male and Female) Positions Available in Undergrad Office, League and Student Office, Union Petitions Due in Undergrad Office, League March 29th, 5:00 P.M. INTERVIEWS MONDAY, APRIL 2 * a and I look forward -to a good year next season." Can't Replace All The Wolverines have had some unreplaceable losses. "No, you cer- tainly can't replace a man like Red Berenson," said Renfrew, "you don't find very many like him, but we've got some good sophomores coming up." Michigan played 29 games this season. The team won 24 and lost five. It took second place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Asso- ciation but lost in the final game of the WCHA playoffs to Michi- gan Tech, newly crowned NCAA champions. The Wolverines' oth- er losses were one to Tech, two to Denver, and one to Clarkson in last Thursday's NCAA opener. Berenson, Michigan's captain and leading scorer for the second year insuccession, took the WCHA scoring honors, and he was fol- lowed by sophomore center Gor- don Wilkie, who was voted as the WCHA sophomore of the year. Berenson was selected as the WCHA's most valuable player. Make Second Team - Goalie Bob Gray, defenseman Don Rodgers and Wilkie were named to the second All-WCHA team. Both goalies, Gray and Dave Butts, were the league leaders and were both presented with the Bill Borousky, trophy. Michigan loses five seniors to graduation-Berenson, Jerry Kolb, Carl White, Bill Kelly and Al Hin- negan. After the NCAA tournament, the team had one thought. They are planning to take a trip a year from now to Boston, where they plan on winning the 1963 NCAA crown. Howard Abrams your No. 1 Choice for S.G.C. little things that he'll have to learn. "Red will have to get used to our style of play. At Michigan I considered him an individual play- er. I don't mean that he wouldn't pass. But he skates so much faster than the other players that when he'd try and set them up they weren't there. Hence a lot of times he would try it alone." Rearden compared Red to an- other college hockey player who made it in the NHL-Red Hay- formerly of Colorado College and now with the Chicago Black Hawks. Different from Hay "Berenson is a different kind of player than Hay, but they are both good in their own way. Hay certainly fit in well with the Black Hawks." Berenson was naturally delight- ed with his chance to play in the NHL. "I've looked forward to this all my life," he said. "It's a great chance for me and I hope it turns out all right." Berenson, who holds the record for most goals scored in one year for a Michigan player, scored 43 this season. He wasanamed for the second straight year to the All- American team. Additionally, he captained this year's team and at the recent Tournament his team- mates picked him as this year's Most Valuable Player. He was selected to the All- Tournament team in the NCAA Tournament; the WCHA Tourna- ment; the R.P.I. Tournament and others. Berenson still wants to con- tinue his education. "If I don't play in the playoffs I want to graduate this year," he said. Berenson also intends to seek his master's degree. "I'm looking forward to this trimester plan be- cause I'd be able to get in a whole semester each year," he explained. 'NHIL Tough' Berenson BOSTON (IP)-"Whew, is this game fast," exclaimed Red Beren- son after his professional baptis- mal with the National Hockey League champion Montreal Cana- diens Sunday night. The two-time Michigan All- America, just coming from the NCAA championships at Utica, is a center but played a third-line left wing for the injury-plagued Canadiens in the 6-2 loss to Bos- ton. "I'm not in condition for this kind of play," the redhead said after the game. "He played well for his first game," said Montreal coach Toe Blake. "He was nervous out there and its a long, long prmp from college hockey to the NHL. But I think he'll be a good one. "Berenson is a strong skater who can really move, and that's important" $ 4 '1n } Make-Believe Basketball Once upon a time, there was a big tall, make-believe basketball player who lived far away in Never-Never Land. His name was Joe boakes and this is his story.. . . The 6'5" Doakes scored 27.5 points in 25 games generally shooting from long distances sometimes ranging up to 35 feet. He made 45 per cent of his shots. If he was real, he would have ranked in the top ten college scorers. Compared to real players like Billy McGill of Utah and Nick Werkman of Seton Hall, Doakes' make-believe 27.5 is actually a lot better than its looks, because McGill fattened the 'ole 38.5 mark by averaging 54 points against three toughies like Montana State (twice) and Wyoming, and Werkman's 33.2 average was not at all hurt by a 41 mark against the four power- houses of Scranton, St. Peters, Georgetown and Loyola of Baltimore. Meanwhile, the make-believe Doakes actually played his worst against the easier teams on his make believe schedule. Against Regis, Assumption, San Francisco, Christian Brothers, and Western Ontario he only averaged 24 points while nabbing 21 rebounds. Against better teams like Michigan, Xavier twice, Purdue, Indiana, Marquette twice, Notre Dame twice, Canisius, St. Bonaventure, Tulsa, Iona, Syracuse and Western Michigan he upped the make-believe ante to 27.6 points while still getting 19 rebounds a game. Against four teams who played in post-season tournaments, Dayton, Western Kentucky, Loyola of Chicago and Villanova, he hit 32 points and got 21 rebounds. Speaking of reounds, if the 6'5" Doakes had only been real, he could have been the best rebounder in college for three whole seasons. He averaged a shade under 20 per game, and had a make-believe average of 20.2 last season. Meanwhile, real life all-Americans like Terry Dischinger (6'8"), Chet Walker (6'6") and Jerry Lucas (6'8"Y average 13, 13 and 17 respectively.,This is in spite of the fact that Lucas, Walker and Dischinger play under both offensive and defeh- sive backboards in real life while in our little make-believe story, Doakes plays outside much of the time, thereby depriving himself of at least three or four more grabs a game. Doakes covers the make-believe opposition's leading scorer every game. In one make-believe NCAA tournament game he held a 19- point sporer to six while helping himself to a measly 38. St. Bon- aventure's Miles Aiken had a make-believe average of 26 until Doakes held him to 10, getting 30 himself. Notre Dame's platoons of forwards, who limited Doakes to a mere 33, pumped in a grand total of zero. Doakes also held Terry Dischinger to five, field goals in a make-believe game. If John Havlicek, the premier defensive artist in real life ever PERSONALLY OUTSCORED any college player he ever faced by 32 points, it has been a well kept secret. * * * * A lot of nationally recognized coaches actually had dreams that their teams played against Doakes. Some of these coaches actually wrote me about their dreams: Tom Blackburn, Dayton-"I classify him with (Bill) Russell, (Tom) Gola, (Si) Green and (Maurice) Stokes-one of the greatest." Ed Hickey, Marquette-"At his size he has the finest all- around ability of any college player in the past 20 years." Jim McCafferty, Xavier-"After Jerry Lucas . . . he is the best college basketball player in America. He can play all three positions, shoot with anyone in the game, and as a rebounder has no peer. I have often said that he deserved to be a First Team All Make- Believe. It's too bad he never received the recognition due him." I guess the make believe world is sort of funny. In real life we give credit where credit is due. But for the third year in a row on the All Make Believe Team, Doakes is being rated below players who clearly cannot play basketballas well as he can. * * * * It is unfortunate that there is nothing "make-believe" about the story of Joe Doakes. All of the above facts,figures and quotes are 100 per cent true. For anyone who might be interested, Doakes' real name is Dave DeBusschere (of the University of Detroit) and the fact that he is not making first team All-America right now reduces the selections to a travesty.

The meet- ing, of course, will be open to all. Tour East "We plan also to make arrange- ments for our Eastern tour over spring vacation. We'll be playing Princeton, Yale, Columbia,.and the New York Rugby Club on the tour. Those are four of the best teams in the Eastern Rugby Association, and they should give us a chance to see how good we really are," said Charles Dayton, who is in charge of organization for the club. "We feel that there are many people on campus who would be eager to join the club and play some rugby but who have not come out either because they feel they wouldn't be good enough or, that they wouldn't be able to learn the game well enough." Easy To Learn "Actually, rugby is a very easy game to learn. Most people can learn enough about it to play the first time out. It is a wonderful game for the student who wants to play in a contact sport but who is not good enough to play either college football or hockey," he added. 1 Hopeful .I I r f r " t ,.
