THE MICHIGAN DAILY H1b1YMAU liIL BET BW HA To Battle aNAA Tourney Oens 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 this year the Laurries split with WCHA also-ran Michigan State, winning 6-2 and losing 8-5, in their only test against western competition.

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.
