With the coming of the new year, the Big Ten campaign be- gins in earnest and the Blue are figured to fight it out with Pur- due for second place behind fa- vored Indiana. "It looks like a real dinger outside of Indiana, and maybe they'll get complacent or hurt or something," said Orr. "We're going to promote Benson to sign with the pros," Orr said, "We're going to be his biggest promoters, he's a lot better than some of those NBA centers and he's still with Indiana." f r f YOUNG PIONEERS THREATEN. Icers gird 9 By PAUL CAMPBELL WCHA hockey is a "homer's" sport. That is, the home team has a decided advantage. The Michigan hockey team would do well to remember that fact this weekend as they travel to Den- ver for a two game series with the Denver Pioneers.s "Hockey may well be the sport with the greatest home advantage," noted Denver coach Murray Armstrong. "The tex- ture of the ice, the curvature of the boards, how the puck bounces-knowing these things is a big plus." MICHIGAN coach Dan Farrell agrees. He cites last year's Denver games as an example. "we lost two games out there last year. They were both good1 games (5-4 and 5-3) and the home advantage may well have been the difference." So, Denver may be a tough place to win. But there are other reasons besides the fact that it represents enemy ice. Denver has some quality play- ers. The Pioneers are very young (only two seniors will be suiting up for this weekend) but -still well disciplined. And they have a winning tradition. Indeed, Coach Armstrong, who is in his twentieth year as Pio- neet head coach, has only had two losing seasons in his stay at Denver. One of them was last year, when his team only man- aged 12 victories against 23 defeats. Armstrong's record at Denver is nothing short of amazing. His teams have won over two-thirds of their games, averaging 25 victories per campaign. On top of this, his Pioneers have cap- tured seven league and five na- tional titles. THIS YEAR'S squad opened their league season by dropping a pair to Minnesota Duluth, but bounced back to gain splits with Michigan Tech, Minnesota and Notre Dame. Their league rec- ord now stands at 3-5. The Pioneers return their top seven scorers from last year. Mark Falcone, a sophmore who leads the team in scoring this year, will center on the first line for senior captain Ched Miller (the pride of Melville, Saskatchewan) and junior Tom Zajac. Armstrong will use three lines freely in the high altitude of Denver Arena. Other players to watch out for are freshmen Lindsey Thompson sand Greg Woods. As many as ten freshmen are seeing significant amounts of ice time for the Pioneers. Jim Bales has stepped into the goalie posi- tion and is performing admir- ably. Alex Belcourt, an outstanding frosh prospect at center who was skating and scoring well for Denver, will be sidelined by an injury to a knee ligament sustained a g a i n s t Michigan Tech. SPEAKING of knee ligaments, Michigan fans will be happy to know that Pat Hughes seems to have recovered from his liga- ment problems and will make the trip to Denver.

"If we come out of there 5-0 we're going to win the god- damn championship," Orr en- thused. Michigan faces each league team twice during the season, closing the regular season at home against Northwestern. Counting on two newcomers in starting roles, the tough nonconference schedule will test the Wolverines strength right off the bat and prepare the unit for the grueling Big Ten season. Guard Dave Baxter and for- ward Joel Thompson, both soph- omores, are the top reserves with freshmen Alan Hardy,; Tom Staton, and transfer Tom Bergen also expected to see ex- tensive action.
