Princely values at pauper prices. .~ Have Iots more A{ i~ u n-go . -~ie " 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. I I A 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. Rifle Team Annexes ri Ten Crown NCAA Plan Occ redCb Conference (Continued from Page One) 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. One big problem lingers on track Coach Don Canham's mind today -Pete Gray. Gray gave Canham and every- one else connected with Michigan track cause for concern last Sat- urday when he underwent an emergency appendectomy in Mil- Ice Captain Michigan's Hockey T eam again elected Bill MacFarland to captain the 1955-56 ice squad. MacFarland led the pucksters through the season just ended in which they cap- tured the NCAA champion- ships. waukee, the city where a few Wol- verine track team members were competing. The St. Petersburg, Florida jun- ior, a double-winner in the recent Big Ten indoor meet, is resting comfortably in Milwaukee's Mount Sinai Hospital. While the opera- tion was successful, it is almost im- possible to say how it will affect Gray's running condition this spring. If the Michigan speedster does Sprinter's Operation Leaves Track Coach With Problem return to the team it will still be 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. Kellstrop Fifth Freshman Geert K e i 1 s t r o p placed fifth in the mile run with a 4:20.0 clocking, and indications are that he'll be a threat next year when he enters varsity competi- tion. Two other Michigan freshmen competing unattached were pole vaulter Eeles Landstrom and high jumper Brendan O'Reilly. The lat- ter, though botheredby a bad an- kle, still managed to leap 6'51", good enough for a fourth-place tie with Mark Booth. The New Spring Collegiate Cuts!!
