ment. Tonight St. Lawrence and
Rensselaer square off for the du-
bious honor of meeting the west-
ern representative in the finals
Saturday.
Denver is expected to walk off
with their second consecutive title,
but Minnesota could upset the
apple cart.
"If the Gophers get outstanding
goaltending from Mike Larson
they could beat Denver-once,"
said Renfrew. "If the teams were
to meet in a six-game series,
though, Denver would win the
other five."
The Pioneers coasted through
the regular season, scattering rec-
ords along their march, with a
28-1-1 record. The only team to
beat them was Michigan Tech,
3-2, on Houghton ice.
Neither Eastern team is ex-
pected to provide much of a threat
to either western squad despite
the fine records of the eastern
delegates.
St. Lawrence, 16-4, has beaten
Rensselaer, 16-3-1, twice, 4-3 and
5-4, but RPI is currently riding a
15-game winning streak. Earlier

BOSTON - The Boston Bruins,
scoring twice while shorthanded,
beat New York 6-2 last night in
a National Hockey League game
in which nothing at all was at
stake.
The Rangers, solidly planted in
fifth place, were listless against
their favorite whipping boy. Bos-
ton, secure in last place, skated
surprisingly well in winning its
third game in 14 matches with
New York this season.
A three-goal burst in the middle
period by Murray Oliver, Charley
Burns and Johnny Bucky gave the
Bruins a 4-1 lead that was too
much for New York to overcome.
