Denver on Monday and Tuesday.
Although Minnesota will be
bringing a sixth-place squad to
face the Wolverines, Michigan
Coach Al Renfrew isn't looking
for a soft touch. The Gophers up-
ended Michigan at Minneapolis in
the first game of a recent series
before the Wolverines evened
things in the second encounter.-
Despite its lowly position in the
Western Collegiate Hockey Assn.,'
Minnesota Coach John Mariucci
feels that it is the strongest aggre-
gation that he has coached.
Showed Potential
The Gophers showed some of the
potential that Mariucci has ex-
pected of them last weekend
against Michigan State. The Spar-
tans, who have given the Wolver-
ines trouble this season, fell before
the Gophers twice, by the lopsided
scores of 5-0 and 10-2.
Michigan's last outing was
against State, whom they edged,
to break a ~thre-gane losing
streak.
While the Wolverines are enter-
taining Minnesota, Denver will be
at MSU for a pair. Then the two
host teams trade visitors for Mon-
day and Tuesday contests, here,
and two at East Lansing, next
weekend.
Denver in First
The Denver squad roared into
first place in the WCHA on the
strength of a pair of wins over
Colorado College last weekend, 6-2
and 4-1. In the meantime, Michi-
gan Tech was held to a split by
North Dakota to finish its WCHA
season with a 15-6-1 mark.
Denver must win four of its next
six games to tie the Huskies.
Colorado College's twin losses
to the Pioneers left the Wolverines
in fourth place alone, in a good
position to grab off the last playoff
berth, IF they can play at a .5001
rate in these next nine days, while
Denver is taking at least one of
its last two meetings with the CC
Tigers.

SQUAW VALLEY -- An under-
dog United States hockey team
scored one of the great upsets in
Olympic hockey yesterday by beat-
ing the World Champion Cana-
dians, 2 to 1, on the brillian goal
tending of Jack McCartan of St.
Paul, Minn.
A howling, standing-room-only
crowd of 8,500 saw the unbeaten
Yanks take the lead in the Olym-
pic championship round robin
with a single point edge over de-
fending champion, Russia. The
Soviets were tied by Sweden 2-2
two days ago.
It was the third straight United

COACH AL RENFREW
.. . six games in nine days

tates victory in the final round
obin with two games to go -
gainst Russia and Czechoslova-
ia.
Russia earlier scored its second
ictory against the tie with Swe-
len, beating Germany 7-1, and
inland toppedAustralia, 19-2,
n a consolation rouna.
It was the second time in Olym-
ic hockey that the United States
ad beaten Canada. The other
vas at Cortina, Italy, in 1956 when
he Yanks beat them 4-1.
Bob Cleary, a Boston insurance
alesman, who plays on the line
ith his brother Bill, got the
mericans' first goal midway in
,e first period. Paul Johnson, an
%-University of Minnesota star,
it for the second American goal
n the second period.
McCartan, a 24-year-old former'
niversity of Minnesota star who
lmost gave up amateur hockey
or professional baseball, played
he net like a padded acrobat. He
as constantly under fire from the
avage - skating Canadians and
uring the entire game he caught,
eflected, kicked away and sat on
9 blasts at the net.
Canada Scores
The Canadians didn't get on
he score board until 13:57 of the
inal period when the line of Jim
onnelly, Floyd Martin and the
harp - shooting Kenny Laufman
inally pushed the puck past the
mbattled McCartan. Connelly got
he goal on a deflection shot off
McCartan's stick out of a scramble
n front of the American net. j
Blyth Arena was packed tol
tanding room only with a pro-
Jnited States crowd that ap-
)lauded every time the Americans
hanged lines and exploded and
roke iinto deafening roars when

Cleary and Johnson hit for their
goals.
Stunned Silence
Connelly's tally for the Cana-
dians was greeted with a few
whistles and applause, but mostly
stunned silence from the crowd
that feared one ofr thegreat up-
sets in Olympic history might be
going by the boards.
But the American defense of
captain Jack Kirrane, ex-Harvard
star Ed Owen, Minnesota's John
Mayasich and especially Rod Pa-
avola of Hancock, Mich., saw to
it that the American upset would
stand.
* * *u.
Russia won its sixth gold medal
and little Finland its first yes-
terday while America's World Fig-
ure Skating Champion, Dave Jen-
kins, made a brilliant comeback
in the Winter Olympic Games.
Victor Kosichkin, a 23-year-old
Moscow electrician, captured the
5,000-meter speed skating test in
the near-record time of 7:51.3.
V e i k k o Hakulinen outbattled
Hakon Brusveen of Norway in a,
nerve - stabbing stretch drive as
Finland won the 40 - kilometer
(25.8 miles) ski relay in 2 hours
18 minutes, 45.6 seconds.
United States morale got a big
boost, hgwever, at Blyth Stadium
where Jenkins, seeking to dupli-
cate the Men's Figure Skating
Championship won by his brother
four years ago, staged a strong
rally.
In third place at the start of
the day, the slender Colorado
Springs student gave a remark-
able exhibition on the fourth fig-
ure, moving ahead of Alain Giletti
of France and within 12.8 points
of the pace-setting Karol Divin of
Czechoslovakia.

How does Michigan State, the
shortest team in the Big Ten,
manage to out-rebound its taller
opponents in practically every
game?
This is a question Midwest bas-
ketball fans have been asking
each other all season. The answer,
given by Spartan head coach
Forddy Anderson: "It's the mo-
bility that counts."
Anderson says, "In recent years
basketball players have been get-
ting taller and taller and their
jumping ability has improved tre-
mendously, but a great deal of im-
portance still lies in what I like
to call 'mobility.'
Importance of Position
"It is just as important for a
player to gain position as it is for
him to be able to jump well. For
this reason, I stress footwork and
movement to my teams. When one
man has the ball, the other four
are always on the move around
the basket, trying to break into
the open. Even if they don't get
the ball they are usually in good

Tonight at 7:30 in the I-M gym,
Michigan and Michigan State will
resume their rivalry, this time in
gymnastics, as the unbeaten Spar-
tans match their spotless record
against the Wolverines in THE
dual meet of the season.
Michigan Coach Newt Loken has
billed tonight's affair as just that,
and is expecting a large turnout
for the important meet.
Last of Season
This will be Michigan's last dual
meet of the season as the team will
travel to Minneapolis next week
for the Conference Championships.
Tonight's contest could provide
a preview of that meet, but that
won't be decided until around 9
this evening.

Two seniors, Al Stall andjWo
Dozauer, will be performing befoi
the home crowd for the last tir
in their collegiate careers.
Loken's crew has posted areco
of 6-3 thus far this season.
The only losses have been in B
Ten competition as the Wolverini
have dropped meets to Minnesot
Illinois and Iowa.
Consolation
Some consolation for local fal
is the fact that while Michiga
lost to Illinois and Michigan Stai
topped them, the MSU win cair
after the Illini had lost the servic(
of Abie Grossfield, because of h
winter graduation.
The Wolverines were unfortt
nate enough to face Illinois whi
Grossfield was still eligible.

position when a shot is finally
taken." s
In practice Anderson runs his C
players through what could be d
called 'rebound patterns'. After a 3
succession of fast passes, one
player takes a shot and suddenlyt
the basket is surrounded by threet
if not four Spartans, all coming
in from different directions ands
all ready to leap for that rebound.
An important requirement for e
these converging players is that t
they must be a step or two ahead R
of the defensive player covering i
them. Thus, Anderson teaches his
player to be as evasive as possible s
and to make successful fakes. Z
Thus, Spartan players are mak-
ing fakes even when they don't c
have the ball, in order to get that b
extra step and get to that re-
bounding area ahead of their op-
ponents.
This great rebounding ability
of the Spartans has helped turn
what could have been a disaster-
ous season into a fairly successful
one. Lacking both team height
and a strong bench, the Spartans
have posted a respectable 10-9
overall mark and are 5-7 in the
Big Ten.
In these 19 games, the Spartans
have out-rebounded a taller op-
ponent 15 times. The S p a r t a n
starting lineup of 6'3" Horace
Walker. 6'4" Lance Olson, 6'1"
John Young, 6'1" Art Schwarm
and 5'9" Dave Fahs averages Just
a little over 6'1" and many of
their opponents have had lineups
averaging over 6'5".
The teams the Spartans have
out-rel ounded include California's
defending NCAA champions with
6'10" Darrel Imhoff, Ohio Sttae's
soon-to-be crowned Big Ten
champions with 6'8" Jerry Lucas
and powerful Indiana with 6'11"
Walt Bellamy.
This Saturday, the opposition
will not be quite so tough for the
Spartans, as they face Michigan's
winless (in the Big Ten) Wolver-
ines at 8 p.m. in Yost Fieldhouse.
In a game last month at East
Lansing, Anderson's talented re-
bounders outscored the Wolver-
ines, 89-58, and out-rebounded
them, 70-47.
