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. By The Associated Press 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 Spartan Rebound Practice P aying Off in Win Column S rc a k v dE F in pi h w ti so w A tr e hi in U a. f tr 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. By TOM WITECKI 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 By CLIFF MARKS 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. i *0 ,a 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.
