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. Minnesota caine to Ann Arbor with the same team that had split with the Wolverines when they had played in Minneapolis;, however, Michigan swept the se- 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. burst when they ran up against ver's home ice for the NCAA hock- a fired-up Tech team on Hough- ey championship. In the semifin- 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 i bruised and tired Michigan 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.

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 i: the individual championship. Passink dipped to 73-78--151. Evashevski shot two 77's. Captain. 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.
