Western Hockey Icers Open I By FRANK LONGO Michigan's undefeated icers are in Madison today to take on Wis- consin for the opening ,of their 1971-72 WCHA season. The Wolverines will put their two-game victory string on the line tonight against the similar- ly unbeaten Badgers. Last week- end Michigan took two straight games on home ice, a feat it wasn't able to accomplish all last season. The two non-league wins came over Western Ontario by scores of 10-3 and 3-2. Wisconsin likewise swept a pair, identical 3-1 victories over Rens- selaer Polytechnic Institute. The Badgers are coming off a third-place finish from last year,' their best since joining the league. Although Wisconsin lost two All-' Americans, John Jagger and Jim Boyd, through graduation, they have returning junior left wing Norm Cherrey. Cherrey led the team in scoring last year in WC- HA games. Inexperience will hurt the Bad- gers in goal and on defense where "we do have question marks," says coach Bob Johnson. "But we hope for help from the incoming freshmen and surprises from vet- erans." Michigan, hoping to improve on a 5-17 record last season which merited the Wolverines last place, also will need help from the freshmen. They got it last week- end in the games with Western Ontario, as Paul-Andre Paris con- ace Badgers, WCHA scored five goals and three as- sists in the series. Starting Wisconsin center Max Bentley will be out for the series with Michigan. He suffered a charley - horse about five weeks ago and a deep bruise may cause him to be lost for the entire sea- son. Concerning this series, the Wis- consin coach says, "We're anxious to get going in league play. We've been practicing for quite a while and all we've played are those two non-league games last week- end (against R.P.I.). The more we play, the better we're going to get." With the addition of Notre Dame, the WCHA is now com- prised of ten teams. Each WCHA team will play every other con- ference team two or four games and each WCHA team will play 26 or 28.games. Each series of games per year between WCHA members will in- volve a total of eight points-two points per game for a four-game home-and-home series and four points per .game for a two-game series. That means that. since Michi- gan plays Denver only twice, a Wolverine win will be worth four points for a win and two for a tie. Playing Wisconsin four times, each win will be worth two points and a tie one point. Tie games will work the same season as last year. If the score of a regular season game is tied at the end of regulation time, the teams will play one "sudden death" 10- minute overtime period. If, at the end of this overtime, the score is still tied, the game is concluded and entei'ed in the standings as a tie. - Each WCHA team is scheduled to play nine WCHA series so the maximum number of attainable points is 72. The team with the most points will be the WCHA champion and will be awarded the McNaughton Trophy. The incomparable TEAC -Associated Press PITTSBURGH PENGUIN GOALIE Jim Rutherford looks on in amazement as the puck slips past him for a goal. Also bewildered is defenseman "Bugsy" Watson (5).

CHICAGO (P) - Doughty Leo yurocher, who reached the usual tirement age of 65 last sum- mer, was rehired as manager for 1972 by the Chicago Cubs yes- terday. It gave Leo the Lip the last laugh in a flurry of recent ru- mors that he would be aban- dined by Cub owner Phil Wrig- ley. Durocher failed to bring the' Cubs a pennant in six years as pilot, compiling a 430-379 record in that time. Last year, the team folded to a share of third place in the National League East with' The 'oust Durocher' cry became so loud that Wrigley, on Sept. 3, used a large paid advertisement in Chicago newspapers to tell fans and critics that the "dump Durocher Clique might as well ye up." Wrigley, at the same time arned that any Cub players alking under Durocher's lead- ership would be found in "hap- pier homes" this winter. "This year, there has been a constant campaign to dump Du- rocher," Wrigley said. "It even w fected the players. But t sere has to be someone in charge on the field to make the final decisions; and, right or wrong, that's it." Before taking the action on Durocher, the .Cubs cleaned out Leo's coaching staff, helping to create more rumors. They hired, as pitching coach, Larry Jansen, an 11-year mem- ber of the San Francisco staff and one-time hurling ace for Duro- cher. Cut loose was Harry "Pea- nuts" Lowery.
