on Minnesota proper and lost the
second of the two game series, 6-5.
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, 12-1and 14-2.
The Wolverines 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-
named to the All-American team,
however.
In their next 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.

ton ice. Michigan was dumped als, Michigan came back in the
3-1 in the first of a two-game
series, but fought back to win
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,
in 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
have for 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 from Gary 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

team, winning by a 6-2 margin.
third period scoring twice, to win1
3-2 over Providence. This victory,
number 23 for the Blue, set the
stage for2a 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'srmost 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 !s
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

Third Round Blues
But now the old culprit, "third
round blues" harassed Michigan
for the second straight year. Just
ilike last year when they led after
I 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

Mouw played 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
