One of the keys to the develop-
ment of a successful hockey
team is the proper ratio be-
tween youth and experience. Last
season, the Wolverines nearly
had the right combination as a
sprinkling of both seniors and
freshmen carried them into the
Western Collegiate 'Hockey As-
sociation playoffs.
Picked to finish near the bot-
tom of the ten team loop, the
Wolverines surprised many of the
so-called experts by playing flaw-
less hockey at the friendly Mich-
igan Coliseum en route to a
sixth place finish.
Had the Wolverines done any-
thing on the road, their 16-18
overall record would have been
greatly improved, and a league
championship might not have
been out of the question.
Of the 14 road encounters
Michigan was victorious only
once, making the significance of
the 11-3 WCHA home record
minimal.
After Michigan swept a pair
from Minnesota during the final
weekend of the season to gain a
playoff berth, the Wolverines
were forced to battle a tough
North Dakota team at Grand
Forks.
Of course, pessimism reigned
and Michigan was barely given
a chance to leave NoDak coun-
try alive.
Bucky Straub, one of six de-
parting Wolverines, tried to ex-
plain Michigan's pathetic state
in unfriendly arenas. "We al-
ways seem to get behind early,
and it's almost that we expect
to lose," Straub assessed.
The Ann Arbor left winger hit
it right on the nose as Michigan
quickly fell behind 5-0 in the
two-game t o t a I goal series.
Soumehow the Wolverines man-
aged to sneak out of town with
their lives intact, but not until
they suffered a pair of setbacks
to the tune of 5-1 and 10-2.
Head Coach Al Renfrew, who
will be undertaking his 16th sea-
son behind the Michigan bench,
also argued that the road prob-
lem was a "psychological thing."
But Renfrew will be facing a
nearly insurmountable experi-
ence problem this season, as a
total of only five upperclassmen
return.
Last May's graduation could
really hurt the Wolverine chances
unless this fall's freshman class
is a banner one like the last one.
Karl Bagnell, who held up the
Michigan pipes for the past three
seasons will leave his position to
an untested freshman from Sar-
nia, Robbie Moore. Assistant
Coach Jim Keough, who was an
All-American Michigan netmind-

er in 1968, is very high on Moore
but only time will tell.
Nevertheless, inexperienced
sophomores Roy Bolles and
Terry Lajeunesse should put
some pressure on tiny Robbie
(5-5, 155).
Only sophomore regular Randy
Trudeau returns but soph Pete
Dunbar is expected to see full
service and senior center Michel
Jarry may return to the position
he occupied as a freshman. Ber-
nie Gagnon, who led the league
in goals scored with 28, will be-
gin a career with the St. Louis
Blues of the National Hockey
League this season.
Gagnon led the sometimes
weak Michigan offense and his
presence will definitely be miss-
ed. Straub, who finally came in-
to his own last year with 11
leagues goals will also have tc
be replaced.
Looking especially for size
this time around, Renfrew ob-
tained Gordie Cullen and Greg
Fox to help out the defense.
Fox, at 6-2 and 190, hails from
Kelowna, B r i t i s h Columbia
while 5-10 175-pound Gordie
Cullen is a Toronto, Ontario
native.
Helping out the depleted for-
ward corps will be Angelo Mor-
etto (6-4, 215) of Downsview,
Ontario;' Montrealer Pierre Sa-
razin (6-0, 185) and Red Deer,
Alberta's Tom Lindskog.
Locally Renfrew signed De-
troit Jr. Wing Don Fardig and
Ann Arbor Pioneer's Don Dufek.
While the athletic department
has done a lot of talking about
replacing the antiquated Mich-
igan Coliseum, nothing will be
done in time for the opener Nov.
3 with North Dakota. Michigan
will play 30 league games with
16 at home. Denver, Colorado
and Duluth will all face the Wol-
verines twice while Michigan
battles the remainder of the
league four times each.
The only major rule change in
collegiate hockey this season will
allow body checking all over the
ice. In the past, checking was
not allowed in a team's offen-
sive zone.
Now in its 61st year of opera-
tion, the Intramural and Rec-
reational Sports Program for
men and women will offer all
the students of the University
ample opportunities to partici-
pate in informal self-directed
recreational activities, s p o r ts
clubs, and/or a program of
highly organized, competitive
sports.
Any of the facilities at the IM
Snorts Building, Barbour and
Waterman Gymnasiums, Mar-
garet Bell Pool, Women's Ath-
letic Building and Yost Field
House will be onen for many co-
recreational "f r e e activities,"
except when previously sched-
uled for classes, organized in-
tramural competition, and spe-
cial events.
The snorts clubs on campus,
many of which compete extra-
murally with other schools, are
promoted by the Intramural and
Sports Department. These clubs,
for both men and women, are
directed by staff members of the
department. Beginners and pro
alike are encouraged to join the
club of their choice.
Some of the clubs include:
Archery, Women's Basketball-
Boxing, Cricket, Fencing, Folk
Dance, Field Hockey, Handball,
Judo, Karate, Lacrosse, Michi
Fish, Paddleball, Rugby, Speed
Swimming, Tennis, Volleyball
and Weight Lifting.
The Competitive Program for
the IM is organized into nine
major categories, encompassing
a range of individual, dual, and
team sports. The eligibility re-
quirements for each specific
event and much more informa-
tion may be found in the IM
Handbook which can be easily
picked up for no charge at the
IM Sports Building.
The categories in the Program
include: the All Campus Divi-
sion (basically individual and
dual competition), Co-Recrea-
tional Division (competing in 10
activities throughout the y~e a r
like badminton, basketball, fris-
bee and table tennis), Faculty
D i v i s i o n, Fraternity Division
(open to all actives and regis-
tered pledges of the undergradu-
ate fraternities on c a m p u s),
Graduate Division, Independ-
ent Division (tor those who
can't or do not desire to par-
ticipate in the other competitive
divisions), International Co-
Recreational Division (primarily
for foreign students and faculty
on campus), Residence Hall Di-
vision (for all students living in
the University's residence halls)
and the Women's Division (open
to all women and is subdivided
into three areas: the Independ-
ent, Residence Hall and Sorority

Individual and team awards
are presented to a41 IM cham-
im facliie

as well, in each of the competi-
tive divisions to the All-Year
