Thursday, March 20, 1975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Morett By BRIAN DEMING Junior centerman Angie Moretto was selected last night as the Michigan hockey team's Most Valuable Player for the 1974-75 season. The award was presented at the an- nual Hockey Awards Banquet held at the Ann Arbor Inn and sponsored by the Dekers Club. The selection of Moretto came as no surprise to Michigan hockey followers. The 6-4 Toronto native came through with 30 goals for the Wolverines this season averaging nearly a goal per game. Mo- retto amassed 55 points for Michigan, 16 points more than any teammate. Moretto has come into his own as one of the premier centermen in the WCHA. Placing his 210-pound frame squarely in front of opponent goaltend- ers, he used his size and strength to stay there. A centering pass and a quick slap of his stick was often followed with a red light and a familiar leap of de- light from the imposing centerman. Scoring 65 goals already in his career at Michigan, Moretto's reputation is in- famous throughout the league. The ap- pearance of number seven never fails to arouse a healthy round of boos from rival fans. Dave Debol was the recipient of the Most Colorful Rookie Award. One of ten voted MVP freshmen on this year's squad, Debol contributed 12 goals and 12 assists for the Maize and Blue. A Detroit native, Debol was particularly instrumental in the demise of Michigan State at Michigan's final home game February 28. The freshman earned a hat trick and then some, scoring four times in Michigan's 11-8 triumph. That victory and Michigan's subsequent 7-5 win over the Spartans the next night at East Lansing were two important high- lights of the 20-16 season. Those triumphs gave Coach Dan Farrell's charges added momentum in overcoming Colorado Col- lege in the first round of the WCHA (Western Collegiate Hockey Association) playoffs. Minnesota ended the Wolverines' NCAA playoff hopes by outscoring Michigan 8-5 in the second round. The season cannot be called a great success although Michigan ended with the most wins in 11 years for a Wolver- ine hockey team. The dekers placed a disappointing sixth in the WCHA. However, the course of the long schedule was interspersed with signs of excellence. Besides the sweep of Michigan State and the first round playoff victories, Michigan upset Harvard 3-2, handing the Crimson one of their four season losses. The Maize and Blue also downed NCAA champion Michigan Tech in three of their five meetings. Michigan is expected to be in the thick of the WCHA title race next season losing only five men from this year's squad. Those five players received special recog- notion for their efforts over the last four years. Those seniors are captain Randy Trudeau, Frank Werner, Gary Kardos, Randy Neal, and Paul Paris. The Wolverines will miss the leader- ship of Trudeau. A particularly per- sonable man as well as a fine defense- man, the Chatham, Ontario native has been captain of the Wolverine team over the past two seasons. In his career at Michigan 'Trudy' has compiled a total of 20 goals and 11 assists. Werner also received a special award from the Dekers for scoring the first goal in Yost Ice Arena. That was an unassisted goal against Waterloo, November 2, 1973. Freshman Kip Maurer was presented with the Most Improved Player Award. The Detroiter helped spark the late sea- son drive and ended the year with a pair of goals and four assits. Receiving the Carl Isaacson Memorial Trophy was defenseman Rob Palmer. This honor is for academic as well as ath- letic excellence. Palmer, a sophomore in LSA ended the year with 3 goals and 13 assists. Daily Photo by PAULINE LUBENS Maurer most improved....

EWhite, now working out as a tight end on the football team, ran a 6.5 to take his heat, but succumbed to speedy gridder Jim Smith in the Residence Hall final as Smith was clocked at 6.7. Little Gary Rizzo amazed all onlookers in the Fraternity mile as the St. Clair Shores native ran a 4:26.5. The Independent meet produced, as usual, a victory for powerful Ubermensch, which has all but clinched the all-year, all-sports title. In second place at the meet were a remarkable foursome. Max Richardson, Mike Smith, Jim Bolden and Ray- mond Jackson, running as the Crimson Studs, amassed 41 points with first, third, fourth and fifth in the 60, the top three spots in the 440, and a victory in the half-mile relay. Reeves House won the Residence Hall division and Sigma Phi took the Frat title. The women's meet was plagued by a poor turnout, but a few bright performances were recorded.
