3TEADY IMPROVEMENT:
Bochen's Scoring Paces 'M' Icers

By DAVE COOK
A heavy-set youngster from the
obscure hamlet of Gravenhurst,
Ont. donned a hockey uniform,
laced up a new pair of skate, and
stepped onto the ice at the Mich-
igan Coliseum for his first day of
varsity hockey practice.
Veterans returning from a team
which had finished second in the
NCAA the previous year watched
the tense, jerky movements of
the newcomer and wondered if
he was an indication of the help
they could expect from the in-
coming sophomores.
Shows Marked Improvement
Teammates were frequently ex-
asperated with his unpredictable
skating style and hard-to-handle
passes. But occasionally they felt
his weight in a corner scramble
and found him strong as a fence
post in front of the net. And, to
a man, they respected his drive
and determination.
Two seasons later, the charac-
teristic jerkiness has not disap-
peared from Steve Bochen's skat-
ing, and he still throws a "heavy
pass." But the passes are always
there, and Bochen is leading the
Michigan team in goals as right-
winger on Al Renfrew's number-
one line.
"He's one of the most improved
players I've ever seen," said Ren-
frew recently, "And on top of that
he's the kind of guy who plays
better in games than he does in
practice."
Sidelined by Injury
This is pretty lofty commentary
on Bochen, who didn't play the
first half of his rookie year be-
cause, in Renfrew's words, "He
Couldn't make the plays we need-
ed in game situations."
Bochen returned in his junior
year to be sidelined by a broken
wrist early in the season. To a
Michigan team sharply beset by
manpower shortages, his return
midway through the season came
as a blessing - in spite of his ap-
parently limited ability.
How big a blessing, however, no
one could. have guessed, not even
Renfrew. In the last six games of
last season, Bochen came on to
blast home eight goals, and wound
up second to Dale MacDonald,
who paced the squad with 19.
Plays on First Line
Last fall Renfrew placed him
on a linewith Bob White, one of
his linemates the previous season,

third year as a Wolverine regular.
Except for a brief stretch in Janu-
ary, the three have been together
ever since, and Renfrew calls
them "the strongest line we've
got."
"They like to play together,"
points out the Michigan coach,
"And they've piracticed enough as
a line so that they can anticipate
each other."
White is equally emphatic. "I
don't even have to look to know
where Steve is," he said. "When
we break from our own zone, I
know just where he'll be any time
I want to throw the puck to him.
He's easier to work the puck to
than any winger I've ever played
with."
Childs Praises Player
Significantly, this includes NHL
stars Doug Mohns and Don Mc-
Kenney, White's former linemates
for the Kitchener-Waterloo
Dutchmen.
Freshman coach Ross Childs,
who played with Bochen while a
stand-out in the Wolverine nets
for two seasons, is another of his
supporters. "He's not a player who
looks flashy, but he hustles all the
time - and he scores goals."
Bochen has established himself
as a stand-out in spite of recur-
ring injuries. A childhood accident
rendered his left arm weak and;
almost lifeless. Bochen carried a
bucket of sand to school with his
crippled arm every day for four
years. Today the arm is normal.
Hampered by Knee Injury
A knee condition incurred in
the accident made it hard for
Bochen to relax while skating.
Tense legs led to frequent spills as
a sophomore. Still not a smooth
skater, Bochen's sturdiness and
balance have made him the team's
top corner man - whose job it is
to center the puck.
Even now the big right-winger
is hampered by a mysterious chest
ailment which restricts his breath-
ing and occasionally limits his
turns on the ice. So far examina-
tions have failed to reveal the
cause of it.
Bochen, quiet on and off the
ice, attributes any success he's en-
joyed to his linemates.

Warriors
NipCelts,
In NBA
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK-Wilt Chamberlain
scored 53 points last night to lead
the Philadelphia Warriors to a
126-108 victory over the Boston
Celtics.
A jam-packed Madison Square
Garden crowd of 18,496 watched
the Warriors delay the clinching
of the Celts' fourth straight East-
ern Division title in the National
Basketball Assn.
Chamberlain, who set the Gar-
den scoring record with 58 points
against the Knicks Sunday, went
over the 50 mark for the fifth time
this season, extending his NBA
record.
Tommy Heinsohn, who got only
nine points in the first half, led
cold shooting Boston with 26. The
Celts, who need just two victories
to put away the Eastern title over
the second place Warriors, made
only 47 of 131 from the field. Bill
Sharman, one of Boston's best
scorers, got only two in the first
half but wound up with 23.

gone awry and Cincinnati's Royals

decision was the highest scoring
regular time game seen here.
In a ksee-saw through the last
minute of play, Syracuse standout
Dolph Schayes had sunk a free
throw with 10 seconds to go, tying
the score, 133-all.
The Royals blew a 12-point half-
time lead. Syracuse swarmed from
behind and tied the score at 84-all,
but neither side could get a clear
advantage in the fight down to the
wire.
Royals' ace Jack Twyman had
42 points, while teammates ub
Reed and Phil Jordon collected 47
points and 31 rebounds between
them.
NEW YORK '- Elgin Baylor
scored 41 points to lead the Min-
neapolis Lakers to a 117-112 vic-
tory over New York in the night-
cap of an NBA doubleheader. The
Lakers overcame a 16-point deficit
midway in the second quarter en
route to their victory.
The Knickerbockers fell victim
to a 16-point splurge by the Lakers
that gave Minneapolis a 59-56 lead
in the second period. Baylor scored
10 of these points.
After leading 61-58 at the half,
the Lakers hurried to their biggest
margin, 89-74, just before the
third quarter ended. The Knicks
whittled the lead to four points
at 109-105 but couldn't get any
closer.
Baylor made 18 of 33 shots and
pulled down 22 rebounds.

Four more advafce big league
baseball contingents are expected
to arrive at their spring training
sites today, bringing to seven the
number of camps already opened.
The clubs starting practice to-
day are the San Francisco Giants,
Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh

The Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles

camp earlier this week.

The first exhibition games are
booked for Saturday, March 12.
The regular National League

New York and Milwaukee have
been made the winter book favor-
ites despite their unexpected set-
backs in the 1959 pennant races,
won by the White Sox and Dodg-
ers. The Yankees are favored at
odds of 4-5 and the Braves are
7-5.
However, for the first few weeks
of spring training, Cookie Lava-

of last season's cellar occupants,
are likely to be Just as enthusias-
tic as Walter Alston of Los An-

Sox.
Much of the early attention will
be focused on Red Schoendienst's
attempt to regain his regular sec-
ond base job with Milwaukee and
on the performances of veterans
Ted Williams and Stan Musial.
Schoendienst, fully recovered
from tuberculosis, was on the
sidelines most of last season. Wil-
liams, 41, batted only .254 for the
Boston Red Sox last year, and
Musial, 39, wound up with a .255
average for St. Louis. Between
them, they have won a dozen big
league batting championships.
