By PHIL DOUGLIS
Never in the annals of the NCAA
hockey tournament was there a
finish like that which took place
last Saturday night at the Broad-
moor Ice Palace in Colorado
Springs.
Michigan's Wolverines won their
fifth national ice title in eight
years the hard way, and left the
3,000 fans that packed the arena,
limp with excitement.
Picture this scene. There are but
one minute and forty-five seconds
left to go--and Michigan leads the
powerful Colorado College sextet,
4-3.
All-or-Nothing
In a desperate, all-or-nothing
gamble, Tiger coach Cheddy
Thompson pulls his goalie out of
the game, and puts on six of the
hardest shooting forwards in col-
legiate hockey.
,The partisan throng roars "go-
go-go," and the handful of Michi-
gan fans get that "sinking feel-
ing" as the six Tigers move in on
Michigan goalie Lorne Howes .. .
intent on tieing the gamle and
sending it into overtime.
With one minute left, the tem-
pers that were held fairly in check
all night explode ... gloves come
off ... sticks fly ... and pande-
monium reigns.
Finally the ice is cleared .. .
and with a half minute left, Mich-
igan's Mike Buchanan is sent off
the ice for an illegal check and
the Wolverines are now two men
short.
Moment of Decision
The three lone Michiganites fan
out in front of Howes, and the
six man Tiger caravan slowly
skates into position. The barrage
'begins .. one. ..two ... three
shots scream toward the Michigan
nets, but Howes turns them all
buack.
Now there are but six seconds
left. A faceoff is called and Cap-
tain Bill MacFarland whacks the
puck the length of the ice ... and
it slams into the empty Tiger net.
The red light flashes... and the
Wolverines are national cham-
pions.
The Michigan team goes wild
... Howes leaps from the net and
hugs MacFarland. Fourteen blue
clad players swirl madly at mid-
ice and throw Coach Vic Heyliger
on their shoulders. Somewhere a
lone fan sings "The Victors."
Howe. Blockades Net
That closing wild scene was
and Colorado carried the attack to
Michigan throughout the night.
On the offensive side, it was
Michigan's second line that told
the tale of victory. Jay Goold,
Jerry Karpinka, and Neil Buchan-
an came through with clutch goals
when MacFarland and Tom Ren-
dall were bottled by the Tiger de-
fenses.
Broadmoor Owner Injured
Top oddity of the tourney oc-
curred when, during the opening
game with Harvard, a puck off the
stick of Bernie Hanna struck, of
all people, Mrs. Spencer Penrose
-wealthy owner of the Broad-
moor.
The 86 year old tourney spon-
sor, despite a 12-stitch operation,
returned to the rink on Saturday
night . . . and lightning struck
twice in the same place. During the
second period of the final, Bob
Schiller sent a screamer into the
stands ... and it missed Mrs. Pen-
rose by less than a foot. That was
too much for her-she left.
Colorado College and its fans
couldn't leave however, and they
watched with chagrin as Michi-
gan's Wolverines thundered into
the NCAA throne room once again.
And there's no telling when they're
coming out.

THE BROADMOOR ICE PALACE, as it appeared last weekend for the NCAA Hockey Tournament,
which Michigan won for the fifth time by whipping Colorado College, 5-3. The arena seats nearly
3,000 and is a reconverted Polo Palace. It will also be host to the National Figure Skiting cham-
pionships later this month.
,
LORNE HOWES
... blockades the nets
merely the final act of a drama
never to be forgotten by those
lucky ones who saw it. Howes
turned aside 48 shots, many of
them almost certain goals, to spark
the Michigan win. The Tiger de-
fense of Doug Silverberg and Hil-
ton meanwhile was very effective
on the narrow Broadmoor Ice . .
P ucksters Anxious Moments
Marked by Victory Thoughts
What does a hockey player do
when he is waiting to take the ice
with the national championship
hanging in the balance?
This was the situation that
Michigan players found themselves'
in Saturday, as they impatiently
counted the minutes until they
stormed into the Ice Palace . . .
with all the blue chips at stake.
Vic Heyliger's squad spent the
morning lounging around thej
swank Broadmoor pool ... a game
of hearts . . . a dose of sun . . . a
relaxing snooze.
No Tension-Yet
At noon a light lunch-and talkj
of the coming game. No tension-
yet. Then the long afternoon be-
gins, and the players lounged in
the rooms-many with their legs
against the wall . . . ostensibly to
stimulate circulation. Joking took
over for a while, but Cheddy
Thompson's Tigers were in their
minds all the time.
At 4:30 a roast-beef dinner . ..
and then more lounging. The fans
began to pour into the hotel, and
tension mounted. Faces that a lit-
tle while ago bore smiles soon were
set into determined looks. "Let's
really rack 'em" was the most com-
mon expression.
About 7:30, the blue uniforms
went on, and soon the team was
walking around the lake, past the
very shadow of mammoth Pike's
Peak . . . into the Ice Palace it-
self.
A brief word or two in the dress-
ing room - and with an actual
shout of defiance, the Wolverines
took the ice.
The rest is history ... Michigan
went on to win the title, 5-3, after
a spine-tingling battle. After the
game . . . well, we'll leave that to
your imagination.

telecasts if the national appear-{
ance is foregone. Last year a
school could appear only once on
the 13-game national program.
As a further concession to the
clamors of the Western Confer-
ence two additional provisions pro-
vide for the possibility of further
TV appearances for a particular
school.
The first provision provides
that sellout games may be tele-
cast in the home television areas
of both the home and visiting
teams.
Second Exception
A second exception gives a team
playing more than 400 miles from
home the privilege of telecasting
back to its "home market area,"
barring conflict with other games{
in the area.
As was true last year, smaller in-
stitutions, which compose 310 of
the NCAA's 425-school nember-
ship, are exempt from all TV re-
strictions.t
It had been expected that thel
Big Ten's decision would not bet
made public until after the final
NCAA vote is announced March
22. As it is the Pacific Coast Con-
ference will undoubtedly follow the
Big Ten's lead and affirm the
plan.
Thus the Big Ten's action re-
moves the threat of a collapse of
the national TV program, and
even of a death blow'to the NCAA
itself had the Western and Pacific
Coast Conferences embarked on
separate plans of football tele-
vision.
Such a procedure would have re-
sulted in the expulsion from the
NCAA of its two most powerful
member conferences.

a question as to how effective he
will be. In the meantime, Canham
is hopefully crossing his fingers.
Gray was to have competed in
the two-mile relay in the annual
Milwaukee Journel Relays, but
Grant Scruggs had to take his
place. Scruggs, Don Walter, Hobe
Jones and Captain John Moule
covered the distance in the win-
ning time of 7:47.5.
Moule's anchor leg was timed at
1:50.9, one of the quickest half-
miles recorded in collegiate compe-
tition this season.
