After that loss Michigan won 12, games in a row, eight of which were conference 'games. This tied the Michigan record for most consecutive wins. Loyola of Montreal saw Michi- gan,'s awesome offensive power firsthand, as they were ungra- ciously dumped, .12-1 and 14-2. The Wolverires then. squared off. against hockey arch-rival Michi- gan Tech. 'Michigan -won both games of the rough, hard-fought series by scores of 6-2 and 5-3,. Michigan goalie Bob Gray bested Tech goalie Gary Bauman in this series,' as he did in .'five of', the seven games bewteen the two schools. Bauman was still re-" namfed to the All-American team, however. In their tiext four games, the Wolverines averaged 15.25 goals per game while holding opponents to one goal a game. The Wolver- ines topped Colorado 12-4 and 14- 0, smashed Ohio University by an identical 14-0 score, and then trounced Ohio State, 21-0. Spartans Tough Michigan State was next on the schedule, and they were disposed of also, but not without a fight. Although Michigan won both nights, 2-0 and 7-2, the games were well played and tightly con- tested. Minnesota came to Ann Arbor with the same team that had split with the Wolverines when they had played in Minneapolis; however,, Michigan swepttheIse- ries this time, 6-3 and 8-2. This pair of victories gave Mich- igan the little-publicized Big Ten hockey championship. Although. this league consists of only four teams at present, Ohio State, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Michigan, Renfrew hopes that it will expand in the future to a full ten teams. Michigan's victory skein was burst when they ran up against a fired-up Tech team on Hough- ton ice. Michigan was dumped 3-1 in the first, of a two-game series, but fought back to twin the second game by a close score of 4-3. Crucial Series Although Michigan was the leader in the WCHA from the very. beginning of the season, and was, 1n fact, only ousted from that spot once during the course of the campaign, the WCHA Champion- ship was decided in the last home- and-home series of the season with Michigan State. Michigan played some of its best hockey and, swept a pair from the Spartans by scores of 9-4 and 13-4. These victories brought the WCHA championship to Ann Ar. bor. In the WCHA playoffs, which havefor the past several years determined the two WCHA teams that are given bids to the NCAA championships, Michigan came up against Michigan Tech for the third time in the 1963-64 season.' In the opener, Michigan edged the Huskies 5-4. The winner of the series, however, is determined on the basis of total goals. As a result, although Tech won the sec- ond game 5-4' in regulation time,' a sudden death playoff period was begun because of the tie in total goals. The first overtime went by with neither team be- ing able to score. It was not un- til wingman Jack Cole was able to put in a pass fromGary Butler at 7:05 of the second sudden death overtime that Michigan was as- sured of an invitation to the NCAA tourney: Denver Scores The game with Denver on the following night was somewhat an- ti-climactic. The MacNaughton trophy, which Denver misplaced en route to Ann Arbor, was to go to the winner. Denver outplayed a bruised and tired Michigan team, winning by a 6-2 margin. Michigan then journeyed to Den- ver's home ice for the NCAA hock- ey championship. In the semifin- als, Michigan came back in the third period scoring twice, to win 3-2 over Providence. Thisvictory, number' 23 for the Blue, set the stage for a rematch between Den- ver and Michigan. In the rematch' the Wolverines played nearly flawless hockey and dumped the Pioneers 6-3. This brought the nation's most coveted collegiate hockey trophy home to Michigan for the seventh time. Although Renfrew spoke often of the great balance of his three lines, there were several super- stars on last year's team. Assist Mark Captain Gordie Wilkie set a new record for assists last season with a total of 51. This broke his own record set when he.was a sopho- more of 36. Wilkie was second in team scoring with 67 points, he also won the WCHA scoring title with 30 points. Wilkie was voted to the WCHA All-Star team, the NCAA All-Tournament team, the All-America team, and chosen Michigan's Most Valuable Player. Besides all of these awards, Wilkie won the Fielding H. Yost medal and the Big Ten medal for the scholar-athlete of the year., Burly defenseman Tom Polonic also had numerous honors heap- ed on 'his shoulders last season. He was voted to the WCHA All- Star team, the NCAA All-Tourna- ment squad, and the All-America team. In addition, Polonic finish- ed sixth in conference scoring. for the season. He was the only defenseman to finish in :the first 15 scorers. One of the mainstays of the Wolverine defense all season was goalie Bob Gray. Gray set a new Michigan record for shutouts this season with four. This mark also ties the WCHA season high. In addition, Gray was named to the NCAA All-Tournament team and was voted the Most Valuable Play- er in the tournament. His con- ference goals-against average was second only to Buddy Blom's of Denver. Leading Scorer Wingham iGary Butler, who was WCHA scoring runner-up as a sophomore, scored 38 goals for this season to lead the team. in that department. He bested Wilkie for the scoring title by one point, 68 to 57. Cole, the other wing on the Butler-Wilkie line, put in the key goal that put Michigan into the NCAA tournament. In all he hit the netting for 22 goals and 23 assists for the season.' This total, gave Michigan's first.line 76 goals and 104 assists for the season. Butler, Wilkie, Cole, and Gray will be lost because of gradua- tion and conference eligibility rules this season. In addition, Rog- er Galipeau, front-line defense- man, who sat out the last few games because of a broken cheek- bone, Ron Coristne, who tallied 38 points, George Forrest,, who scored 13 points, and substitute goalie Gary Bieber, who held op- ponents to 2.5 goals per game in his six appearances, will be ineli- gible for play this season. Martin Leads Veterans Despite these losses Renfrew has several starters returning. Wil- fred Martin, captain-elect, center- ed the second line last season. He tallied 34 goals and 24 assists to finish third in team scoring. He is regarded very highly by Renfrew who believes he has the potential to become one of Michigan's great- est goal scorers. Also returning is the third line center, Mel Waka- bayashi, a junior. Wakabayashi is one of the Wolverines most color- ful players. Despite the fact that he only weighs 150 pounds, Wa- kabayashi consistently outscrap- ped the biggest men on the ice. Pierre Dechaine who began to hit the nets with increasing regular- ity as the season progressed will be on this year's team also. Be- sides these three, Alex Hood who was ninth in team scoring; Marty Read, who scored 19 points, and Bob Ferguson who tallied 31 points are all eligible for another season of play. These six should- provide the offensive leadership for this year's team. Anchors Defense The defense will be centered around All-America Tom Polonic and converted forward Barry MacDonald who put in 34 points this past season. Returnees in this department include Ann Arbor resident Dave Newton, Rick Day, who saw more action as the sea- .son progressed, and Teddy "Bear" Henderson. The gaps left in the three lines will be filled with Renfrew's crew of sophomores. Renfrew points out that, "You never know how good these players will be because they have had a year's layoff. I be- lieve that it is important for them to 'get their marks first, there-' fore practice is not obligatory for freshmen. We know what they have done, and I believe we have a real'good group of sophomores." Bob Boysen and Jon Hall, both All-Staters from Minnesota, will be contenders for offensive spots this season. Mike Martilla and Dean Lucier, both of whom play- ed on the Detroit Junior Red- wings, are also out for the team. Jerry Abel, son of Detroit Red- wing's Coach-Manager Sid Abel. is another candidate for a start- ing ,booth. Other candidates are Dan Walter, Tom Schiller, defen- sive standout, and Mark Thomp- son, another All-Stater from Min- By STEVE GALL Michigan's 1964 Golf Team was up to its old tricks again as it started weakly in meet competi- tion but then came on to finish a strong third in the Big Tenj Championships at Minneapolis. Coach Ben Katzenmeyer said, at: the beginning of the year, "We have a lot of lettermen with good. potential, but we're slow in re- sponding this year." He couldn't have put it any better, for slow is exactly the way his. linksters re- sponded during the course of the season. For the second straight year the Wolverine slammers had dif- ficulty getting started -as they. played inconsistently. At a quad- rangular meet in Columbus they came in last, scoring 390 to Pur- due's winning 376. The same er- ratic play plagued them at Michi- gan State as they could only mus- ter- the fourth best score Li five team competition. Play Well For Keeps . Finally, and actually where it counted, the team hit its peak at the Conference Championships.! This was almost a duplicate of last year's performance which saw an equally dismal season start but a strong finish, good enough for' fourth place in the Big Ten Meet. Before the Championships, Kat- zenmeyer predicted that Purdue Minnesota course upside down in the first day of competition.. The meet, which is /based on the lowest total score of the five best players on each team, has two days of 36-hole competition. Two-Stroke Lead The first two rounds were owned' by the Blue as they played mag- nificently, carrying a two strode lead over favored Purdue. A hap- py Katzenmeyer said, at this point, "I've never had a teanm with more potential, but they've been asleep all year." The Wolverine golfers had real- ly come alive. Sophomore Bill Newton, former Ann Arbor High captain, toured the course in blaz- ing 'rounds of 1-under 70 and 2- under 69 for a six stroke lead in the individual medal champion- ship. His rounds included fourteen 1-putt greens. Pete Passink, the team's most consistent golfer, put together rounds of 72 and 75 for 147 and a tie for third place. Frosty Eva- shevski, the football quarterback, fired a 77 andd72, which included a fantastic wedge shot dead cen- ter in the hole, good enough for an eagle two on the 409-yd. third hole. Capt. Gary Mouw had a halfway total of 154 on rounds of 76 and 78. 76 and 78. Sophomore Chuck West totaled 156 and Senior Tom Clark shot 161. Third Round Blues But now the old culprit, "third round blues" harassed Michigan for the second straight year. Just like last year when they led after two rounds but then faltered to fourth, they cooled off again this year. Bill Newton, after two great rounds, staggered to a 78 and 79, giving him a tie for third place is the individual championship. Passink dipped to 73-78--151. Evashevsk shot two 77's. Captain Mouwplayed consistently, 79 and 75, West shot to 81-79 and Clark, whose score did not count fired second rounds of 81 and 86.' Now, after such a great start, Michigan could only show a third- place finish, thirty strokes off the pace set by winner Purdue and Indiana. Yet all was not lost because the team improved on its last year's fourth place finish. Once again the linksters proved that they can get rough when the pressure is on. 'eand Minnesota would be the 'senota. teams- to stop. He added, modest- Sophomore Greg Page, also' a ly. "We've got a crack at it, too."
