Weinberg Arena was the scene of the birth of Michigan's hockey team, and since then the Wolver- ine icers have risen to phenomenal heights in the field of collegiate hockey, and will continue to do so as the 1954-55 season opens against McGill University. The University fans took little in- terest in hockey at the outset, but as they came to realize how much excitement it held, their enthusi- asm grew, as did the size of the crowds at the matches. Not Recognized Although the University did not as yet recognize hockey as a var- sity sport, each player was pre- sented with a sweater and class nu- merals in recognition of his work on the team. For a while obstacles, such as sloppy ice and continuing postpone- ments, drove hockey at Michigan into oblivion, but the team made a gallant come-back in the new Coli- seum, meeting such schools as Michigan Tech, Michigan State, and Minnesota. In 1922, Minnesota's Gophers fi- nally succeeeded in winning varsity recognition from their school and hopes soared for the Maize and Blue. That season an all-time crowd of 2,500 gathered to see Michigan smash Michigan State 4-1 in the opening game. The Wolverines fin- ished the season with a 9-2 record, finding defeat only at the hands of Notre Dame and Michigan School of Mines. Start Road Trips Road trips were becoming in- creasingly more successful. Fans traveled to Michigan Tech and Wis- consin to see the team trounce its opponents. Finally, in the summer of 1922, the Michigan icers were placed in the varsity class by the Athletic Board. The Michigan Daily accur- ately predicted "This may mean GO GO GO!!! To 6 Experts Serve You. 715 N. University that a new form of intercollegiate activity will rise to a place of pop- ularity in winter sports, along with basketball and swimming." This has proved to be one of its most accurate predictions to date. The '20's and '30's saw hockey in a slump, but its popularity did not wane, and fans continued to give it full support. As a result, an intercollegiate league was formed, to grow later into the present Midwest Collegiate Hockey League. In 1944 Michigan received new blood in the hockey field in the form of Coach Vic Heyliger, for- mer Michigan and Chicago Black- hawk star. A new era dawned for the Maize and Blue. Heyliger Produces Victories Heyliger brought the hockey team out of its over-long slump and drove it to one victory after an- other. Under his guidance, the Wolver- ines captured league titles in 1945- 46, 1946-47, and NCAA titles in 1947-48, 1950-51, 1951-52, 1952-53. As the 1954-55 season gets under- way, hope reigns high in the Mich- igan hockey club. From a 1-0 vic- tory in their first game with As- sumption College in 1920, the team has risen to the position of king of collegiate hockey. The Wolverines are expected to still retain this po- sition when the new season draws to a close. 24 Hours Service We Go Anywhere YOUR BEST BET -CALL A VET SATURDAY'S GAMES Detroit at Toronto New York at Boston SPORTS * * * ALAN EISENBERG Night Editor TALENTED TOENAILS-Diving Coach Bruce Harlan, the 1948 Olympic diving champion, demonstrating his "toenail" dive which will be a part of tonight's Michigan AAU Swim Gala.
