THE MICIGAN B, Icemen Entertain Pioneers By JIM BERGER climax of Michigan Hockey e home season will be reach- light and tomorrow night g at 8:00 in the Coliseum as nnipotent Denver Pioneers to Ann Arbor. ver, the NCAA and WCHA ;ions last year, are making away of the league this year, e almost sure bets to gain a in this year's NCAA Tourna- which will be held in its town. s far this year, the powerful rs have won all but one of eague games. Their one loss i Michigan Tech, runner-up ,nver in last 'year's' NCAA unent, at Houghton, by the core of 3-2. High Scoring y have averaged an amazing als per game, and have won in the strong WCHA by opsided scores as 10-2 over gan State, 15-1 over North a, and 11-1 over Colorado e. y Walker, their leading has averaged close to two a game, and has scored a menal eight hat tricks. Walker, who has scored al- twice as many points As ran's leading scorer, is unfor-' ly not the only goal getter he Pioneers have. More Scorers re is Bill Masterson, the r captain, who has ammased al of 59 points, and Trent r with 37 points, and Ken mson with 31, and... Denver defense, which like the rest of this team, is rated the best in the league, but, fortunately for Michigan, the Pioneers have two injured defensemen. Marty Howe, and Grant Munro,, were injured last week-end. They will both make the trip, but as of Wednesday it was questionable whether or not they would see full-time action. George Kirkwood, their all- american goalie, has averaged a mere 18 saves per game as com- pared to Denver's opponents' 37. The Wolverine's, under coach Al Renfrew, have. also had a fine season thus far this year. Solidly in second place in the league standings, for the moment, Michigan would like nothing bet- ter than to sweep or even split the upcoming series. The Wolverines swept a series earlier this year from the powerful Michigan Tech Huskies, and we must remember that it was they who hold the one victory over the Pioneers this season. Another fact which must be noted is that in the series at Den- ver, the Pioneers won one of the games by a mere goal, 4-3. Michigan, also, has some of the outstanding hockey players in the WCHA, in Red Berenson, Larry Babcock, John Palenstein and its two goalies Jim Coyle and Dave Butts. Berenson, Michigan's leading scorer, and third in the WCHA, is according to Tony Frasca, Colo- rado College hockey coach, "one of the finest if not the finest hockey player in the country." Berenson had a very quiet week- end against the CC Tigers, as he was held without a goal, but a skater like Berenson, as his re- cord shows, is not kept down very long, and he is just liable to break out against the Pioneers. According to Renfrew, the Mich- igan squad is in near perfect con- dition, as far as injuries are con- cerned. The Michigan mentor plans to keep the line-up exactly as it has been all year with the first line of Berenson, Hinnegan, and Bab- cock; the second line of Mac- Donald, Lunghamer, and Kelly; and his third line of Cushing at Center, and McGonigal, Pendle- bury, White, and Rhode alter- nating at the wings. The team is optimistic. They have played just hard enough to win so far this season at home, and maybe, just maybe, they can send the Pioneers home dis- appointed.
