DENVER, TECH LOOK TOUGH: WCH By JOEL GREER Even though the regular sea- son has yet to begin, the new Western Collegiate Hockey As- sociation playoff format has stirred excitement throughout the league. The failure of Michigan Tech to reach the NCAA champion- ships last year prompted the 1 change. The Huskies waltzed through the league schedule with an 18-4, mark and were obviously the class of the West. But the single - elimination playoffs were ultimately going to spell Michigan Tech's doom as North Dakota upset the high- flying Huskies in the first round. In an attempt to return the advantage to the top finishing teams, the first round of the post-season playoffs will take changes p layoffs place at the arenas of the top four finishers. In the past, two sites were se- lected and the eight qualifying teams were divided among those rinks by the luck of the draw. The winners of the first round will be decided by a two game total goal series. The first- place team will play the eighth- place squad while the second will play the seventh and so forth down the line. The second round with the re- maining four teams will take place under the same format with the two winners venturing to Boston for the NCAA finals. With the home-ice advantage and the two-game total goal series, the chances of a low eschelon team reaching the na- tionals appear rather slim.

University the regular season should also improve as it will now make a big difference where each team finishes in the standings. In the past, neither the first- place nor eighth-place team had an advantage going into the playoffs. A wide-open race is once again expected for the final six playoff spots but Michigan Tech and Denver look like solid one- two finishers. "They're defi- nitely the top two teams," af- .firms Michigan mentor Al Ren- frew, "But beyond them, it's simply too early to speculate." The Huskies have lost nine seniors via graduation but the nucleus of their high scoring at- tack returns. Huskie coach John McInnes must find replacements for right wings Carl, Ohlsten (10 points) and Ken Tucker (21 points), Other than those positions, Mclnnes has anabundance of veterans. Tech's leading scor- ers last year were a pair of freshmen. Mike Usitalo who grabbed the "top freshman" award in the WCHA racked up 45 points while center Gary Crosby had 39. Michigan Tech's only real problem may be at defense where both high-scoring John Grisdale and All-American Rob Murray have graduate. But Morris Trewin, another All- American, who fashioned a 2.5 goals-against average, returns in goal and McInnes need not wor- ry a great deal- The -situation is even prettier in Denver where nearly every- one returns from the team that finished third in the NCAA championships. Only Danny Helm is lost to the defense which will return four veterans including All - American M i k e Christie. Ron Grahame returns to guard the twine while Denver's entire top three lines remain untouched. The offense is led by WCHA leading scorer Vic Venasky (56) points) who made the All Amer- ica team as a freshman. The Pioneers are once again expect- ed to make a run at the na- tional championship which they've already captured five times. Only Michigan, with seven, has won more. In last year's nationals, Bos- ton University captured the crown by defeating Denver in the semi-finals and Minnesota in the finals. Denver knocked off Harvard for consolation honors. The East's representatives in this year's NCAA finals should again feature Boston- U. but the second squad could be any of perhaps six. Boston's Terriers should make it back to the finals with their two top goaltenders leading the way. Both Dan Brady and Tim Regan have been superb. Goal- keeping was the difference last year in the East, but it will be magnified this season as Cornell, Clarkston andsHarvard all lost their netminders. With some adequate replace- ments, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, B r o w n and New Hampshire all should figure in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Association conference race. -Daiy-Jim wallace MICHIGAN'S Bernie Gagnon (7) pokes the puck ahead during a game with Minnesota-Duluth last year. Gagnon, who lead all Wolverine scorers last season with 26 goals and 22 assists, re- turns for his final year. After losing their next three top scorers, the Wolverines are hoping several freshmen will ,join Gagnon in producing some offensive punch this season. EMU FAVORED: Harriers scoot into M' Open By DALE ARBOUR The Michigan harriers will meet a stern test today as they host the Michigan Open cross country meet. Leading their challengers onto the field this afternoon will be Eastern Michigan University. Eastern is defending national champions in both NAIA and College NCAA competition for 1970. And the Michigan squad would find nothing more re- warding than to upset Eastern one week before they move into. Big Ten competition. Leading thesMichigan attack will be freshman standout Keith Brown, who has already proven himself to be among the finest distance runners in the country. Brown recorded a 13: 51.8 three mile time ,on the track last weekend and has con- tinued to improve every meet this season. vidual competition for Brown, providing a combination which could almost guarantee a new record. The Ann Arbor Track Club will be represented by Paul Lightfoot and Mike Hazilla. Both these men have recorded six mile times on the track of under 29 minutes and pose defi- nite threats to the 31:00 mark. Eastern will provide two other fast collegiate runners in Terry Furst and Jim Bilsborrow. With their top runner, Gordon Minty, out for the season with a frac- tured foot, Furst and Bilsbor- row have adequately taken his place and finished in the vicin- ity of Brown in a number of meets so far this fall. Having never fielded an offic- ial cross country team before, Michigan would like nothing better than beating their talent- ed neighbors from Ypsilanti, who have a solid tradition in this sport. As evidenced in the past two meets, Michigan has strong depth behind Brown and has been improving markedly every week. With their young depth and talent, Michigan could quite possible set a new prece- dent in collegiate cross coun- try. Their depth is centered around a group of four sopho- mores and a lone senior who spends most of his time trying to keep up with these young- sters. This same foursome plus Brown last week averaged 14: 18:3 per man for three miles on the track, which is a faster time than Michigan top three-miler was running last spring. The "super-sophomores" in- clude Bill Bolster, Mike Pierce, Dave Eddy, and Rick Schott, and they provide a solid nucleus for the Michigan team. The meet is scheduled to start at 4:00 this afernoon on the Michigan Golf Course. Ap- proximately 50 runners will start the race, and they will be representing seven teams from Ohio and Michigan. N EWSPAPERS Friend of the CONSUMERS I 41, 1 . s TAPES Brown will be making a bid for the Michigan course record which is a respectable 31:00.0 for the very hilly six - mile course. This record was set ear- lier in the season by Ohio's Bill *Haviland.
