THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUSDAnY, S :NEW STYLES FIRST at WtLD'S Renfrew Changes Hockey Policy 1' adapted from the international favorite of the Champions at the Olympics. By STAN KUKLA In a season that would be better forgotten the Wolverine hockey team rolled up its worst record in quite a few years. The biggest news however was an announcement by Coach Al Renfrew several weeks after the season had ended. Renfrew an- nounced his decision to restrict hockey scholarships from Cana- dian players. This move was made in the hopes of forming a Big Ten hockey league within the next few years. Certainly something had to be done, because after the showing by this year's hockey team more fan appearhad to be injeced intc the game. The Wolverine hockey team started the season quickly beating the Chatham Junior A Maroons 9-1 and then knocking off the Toronto Blues 6-2, before return- ing home to meet Michigan State's Spartans. The future looked rosy indeed until the Friday night game. The Spartans soon burst the Wolver- ines' bubble winning a Michigan game for the first time in three years. But one loss didn't seem so bad because there were always more games to play. Humiliated However, the Spartans humili- ated the Wolverines again on Saturday night to win a Michigan- Michigan State series for the first time. The two losses left Michigan in the cellar of the Western Colleg- iate Hockey Association, a position from which they would be unable to rise for the rest of the season. The next week the Wolverines had a respite when they played Queens University The games were no contest at all, and Bill Bieber made his first appearance of the year in the second game. LO DEN FREY OUTERCOATS from Austria $29.95 E A' WILD=h The Wolverines resumed the WCHA wars the next weekend and started a long losing streak that was interrupted only by Christmas vacation.' The Wolverines started off the new year well by losing to Minne- sota. In the course of the first game Michigan's star goalie Bob Gray injured his knee while mak- ing a save. Bieber was called in to replace him in the nets. The Wolverines managed a tie in their next game, the closest they had been to a win all year. No Help The change in goalies didn't help and the team seemed to lose what little spark it had as the Wolverines dropped a two game series to the Michigan Tech Husk- ies before returning home and dropping two games to Minnesota. The next weekend however was all joy and gladness at the Coli- seium. The Wolverines managed to win two whole games from the Huskies. It was Grays first re- turn to the lineup since his injury at Minneapolis. Gray's return seemed to put new drive into the players and built up team confi- dence. They played as they should have played all season. The Wolverines then took a trip out West, playing at Denver, Colorado College and North Da- kota. They did no . better there than they did around home; the closest they could come to a win was a tie against North Dakota. Spirit Gone It was a broken team that faced the Spartans in the final ganes of the season. The Wolverines hoped to salvage some o f their pri'de by taking the series from the Spar- tans, but this was not to be. The Wolverines flashed to an early lead in the first game only be- cause the Spartans made so many, mistakes that they were almost laughed off the ice by the home-; town, fans. Then the Wolverines tried to match them in ineptness. Clown Contest Not only did they match them, they surpassed them - soon the Spartans were on the high side of a two goal lead. They were still; in the same position when the; final buzzer went. In the second game the Wolver- ines and the Spartans traded goals- but the Spartans had that final goal before the buzzer. Yes, 'twas a sad season. Renfrew's move was the great- est surprise of the year because he had been a big proponent of1 Canadian hockey and certainly no, one had expected him to withdraw all scholarships from Canadian players. Those with scholarship through the '62-'63 year would be allowed to play out their scholar- ship. Rah! Boo! Renfrew's move was hailed by the Big Ten members of the WCHA, however, other members of the WCHA looked with some askance at the move. John Mac- Innes of Michigan Tech expressed shock and surprise that the Wol- verines would hold to such a dis- criminatory policy. BARDEN GONE: Wrestlers Depth Make Loss Of NCAA Champ Less Hard Barry Thorndycroft of North Dakota was the most agreeable of the non-Big Ten WCHA coach- es toward Renfrew's new policy. He said that North Dakota will also restrict their scholarships from Canadian players shortly. Michigan State's coach was the most verbose in condemning the WCHA and approving Renfrew's move. "As far as I'm concerned the Western Collegiate Hockey Association was an outlaw organi- zation," he said. The teams Renfrew is hoping to have in the Big Ten league are Ohio State and Wisconsin plus the Big Ten teams that were in the old WCHA. The other Big Ten schools' facilities are so un- derdeveloped that they will not be able to form hockey teams in the near future. Wisconsin will not be playing any games this year, because advisor Arthur Thompson feels that they have not reached the degree of profi- ciency to play against teams like Michigan. Ohio State on the other hand has scheduled Michigan for this season.

Both men are Canadians playing here on hockey scholarships, a breed which will not exist after this season. By JAMES BERGER As venerable Cliff Keen heads after his 12th Big Ten champion- ship in his 38-year career as Mich- igan's wrestling coach, he will have only one real hole to fill from last year's lineup. But that one may prove to be something of a problem. Back from last year's squad, which finished first in the Big Ten and third in the national collegiate meet, are seven of Mich- igan's eight starters. Only the heavyweight position is left vacant. Ah . .. So! Last year's heavyweight, how- ever, happened to be Jack Braden, a Big Ten, NCAA and Pan-Ameri- can titlist as well as a Black Belt judo expert. Captain Nick Arme- lagos, at 123 pounds also .has graduated.. Ordinarily, the loss of someone like Barden would be the subject of much concern. and it would be for Keen if it weren't for the fact that he has such a large carry'- over in all the other weights. Even, if he can't reply replace Barden, he can still hope to clean up in the other weights. And it's not really as if he has nothing coming back at heavy- weight. Bob Spaly, for instance, just happened to be the number- five heavyweight in the college ranks last year. So, all in all, 1964 promises to be a banner year for Michigan. wrestlers. Leading the team are five jun- iors who as sophomores last year filled all but three of the eight regular positions. Besides Spaly; some of the big guns returning are Rick Bay, Big Ten champion and fifth nationally, at 157 pounds; Dave Dozeman, third in both the Big Ten and NCAA meets at 130 pounds; Lee Deitrick, sec- iond in the Big Ten and first in the Wilkes Tournament at 147 pounds; and Chris Stowell, fourth in the Big Ten meet at 167 pounds. More Returnees. Others back from the winning- cast of last year are Carl Rhodes, third in the Big Ten at 123 pounds; Gary Wilcox, sixth in the NCAA meets at 137 pounds; and Wayne Miller, the team cap- tain-elect, at 157 pounds. If there is a problem next year, it will be what to do with the non-regulars. Keen also has a large stable of sometime starters who won the right to go to the big meets. Among them are Ralph Bahna and Buddy Palmisano, both light- weights, J o e Arcure; at 177 pounds, and Keen's son Jim, at 147 pounds. Talented With so much talent last year, trained under the watchful eyes of Keen and Assistant Coach Doug Blubaugh, the Wolverines compiled a dual meet record of 9-1. They lost their first meet, 14-4, to Penn State and then beat Pittsburgh, 14-3, in non- conference action. Then they swept undefeated through eight straight Big Ten matches before whipping defend- ing champion Iowa, 52-42, in the conference meet. At that time, Keen was elated enough to comment, "It was a great performance, one 'of the finest victories I've ever seen. I've never seen such a dedicated group of men. They went to win. They are a young bunch of guys with a purpose and it took a lot of' work and concentration to win this title." National Ranking Then, with the Big Ten title under their belts after two straight seasons of finishing runners-up, the Wolverines proceeded to Kent, Ohio, to place third in the NCAA meet behind perennial powers Oklahoma and Iowa State. And throughout the season, it .was Barden who led the way. He capped a successful dual meet season with the Big Ten heavy- weight crown by defeating Wis- consin's Roger Pillath in overtime. Then he beat Wayfe Baughman of Oklahoma for the NCAA title at 191 pounds as Spaly filled in at heavyweight. F r o m there, he moved up from an alternate's posi- tion on the U.S. Pan-Am team to take the Western Hemisphere title with little trouble. This year, it's the same team all over again-except for Barden. ;_, THE OLD GRADS KNOW STARTS ATr MOE'S { . ....T. f..,M1... .." ..... ......... ... ... .. ..... . .JJ ~.4...... .. .R..... J..
