OSU Beaten
y knocking off defending NCAA
rnpion Ohio State 56-49 last
drday, the Gophers have es-
ished themselves as contenders
this season's national cham-
pionship. Ten of the 11 swimmers
that scored points at the last
NCAA Meet for Minnesota are
competing this season and seven
of them are juniors.
Minnesota boasts two NCAA
champions. Steve Jackman is the
NCAA recordholder in the 50-yd.
freestyle and has won the 100-yd.
freestyle race the past two sea-
sons. At the past two Big Ten
Meets, he has won both sprints
and also holds both sprint records.
Virgil Luken took the 200-y d.
breaststroke championship and
finished fourth at 100 yards as a
sophomore last season. He was
beaten by Buckeye sophomore
Bruce Norvell Saturday but should
be ready for Dick Nelson and
Geza Bodolay Monday night.
Both Gopher relay teams made
the NCAA finals. The freestyle
team of John Bergman, Ralph Al-
len, Dan Crocker, and Jackman
tied Michigan State for the cham-
pionship. Crocker transfered to
Carleton but the other three are
still at Minnesota.
In the medley relay, Bud Erick-
sen, Luken, Bergman, and Allen
were fourth in the finals. This was
an all-sophomore team which
should be better than ever this
season.
Three sophomores have demon-
strated that they are just as good
as the Gopher veterans. Mike
Stauffer has replaced Crocker in
the freestyle relay. He holds the
Minnesota freshman records in
the sprints. Against OSU, he took
a second and a third place.

Michigan's leading scorers in
JCHA action are Ross Morrison
nd Gary Butler. Both have eight
ints. Butler's total is made up
four goals and four assists

ads the Wolverines in league
als scored with five.

tal of 7 _minutes. The only
her Wolvprines to reach double
gures in penalty minutes are
orrison with 18 and Don Rod-
BOB GRAY
. injured goalie
gers with 12. Kartusch and Rod-
gers are defensemen.
Bieber Substitutes
Goalie Bill Bieber, who has
played the last four games for the
injured Bob Gray, leads all goal-
ies who have played less than six
games in the number of goals
allowed per game. Bieber has let
12 pucks slip past him for goals
in the four games for a 3.0-aver-
age.'
Gray's average before he be-
came injured was 3.8. Bieber has
averaged 22.5 saves per game
while Gray's average is 26.
The leading goalie in the league
is Michigan Tech's Gary Bauman.
He has.given up 2.6 goals a game
compared to 2.7 for North Da-
kota's Joe Lech. John Chandik of
Michigan State, an All-American
last season, has given up the most
goals, 60. This is almost twice as
many as any other goalie has
allowed. But Chandik has also
made more saves than any goalie
in the league with an average of
36.4 a game.
Nodaks Best Scorers
North Dakota is the best of-
fensive team in the league, scor-
ing an average of 5.3 goals a
game. Michigan with 2.8 goals
a game has the weakest offense
in the league.
Colorado College has the sec-
ond most powerful attack in the
league with 5.2 goals a game. But
the Tigers also have the poorest
defense in the league, allowing
6.3 goals a game, which explains
their fourth place standing.
Michigan Tech leads the WCHA
in total minutes of penalties call-
ed against them. The Huskies
have been sitting in the penalty
box for 159 minutes so far. This
is twice as long as the least penal-
ized team in the league has spent
in, the sin bin. Colorado College
has only been penalized 70 min-
utes.,
Three Lead
Al McLean of- North Dakota,
George Hill of Michigan Tech, and
Dick Johnstone of Michigan State
are clearly out ahead of the rest
of the WCHA players in scoring.
McLean and Hill have 17 points
each and Johnstone has 16. No
other player has more than 13.
Johnstone has the most goals
with 11 to Hill's 9 and McLean's
6. McLean leads the league in
assists with 11. Jim Stordahl and
Len Lilyholm, both of Minnesota,
each have 9 assists.
Anderson are new members of the
medley relay team. Along with the
two Gopher veterans, they defeat-
ed Ohio State's team which con-
tains two of the four, swimmers
from the national record-holding
team of last season.
The top Minnesota butterflyer is
Richardson. He has been timed at
2:00.8 this season and won the
