Tournament Prospects In its first "member" season in the WCHA, the UMD Bulldogs must rely heavily on sophomores to form one for- ward line, man three-fourths of the defense and split the goaltending. "This inexperience could really hurt us in our first two series of the season (Michigan Tech and North Da- kota)," said Coach Ralph Romano. "But by mid-season- barring injuries-I expect us to be as strong as last season. " The Bulldogs played 20 games against WC HA teams last season. Although they had their troubles with T ech and Dakota like everybody else, Dakota, Michigan State and Colorado all dropped games to the Bulldogs. The sophomore look dominates defense where senior Bob Hill, whom Romano considers the equal of any blue- liner in the country, is the lone veteran . He will be joined by Lee Sutton, a sophomore from St. Paul Breck. Tom Ahrens and John McKay, a combination out of Duluth East, will form the pure sophomore pair. The Bulldogs' leading All-American candidate Keith (Huffer)Chrisciansen will center a line that scored 67 goals last season. His wingmates are junior Pat Franc i s co and senior Mike Tok who led the club in individual goals with 24. Captain Owen Rogers, a senior, has been moved to center to form a second line with wings Dick Maertz and Bobby Bell. This trio thrives on forechecking and c apital- izing on opposition mistakes. Center Elroy Froiland from Thief River Falls and wings Dick Thompson of Baudette and Tom Mrozik of Du- luth Central appear likely to form the sophomore line. The goaltending duties are up for grabs between senior Ron Hill and Dave LeBlanc from Ft. William who was voted the outstanding freshman last season. Romano plans to alternate them during the regular season until one estab- lishes superiority. After his nine forwards, four defensemen and two goalies, Romano's available talent drops off sharply. Any major injuries could deal a crushing blow to the Bulldogs' season.

ASSISTAN T COACH MICHAEL HALEY Assistant coach Mike Haley, one of the finest goaltend- ers in UMD annals, enters his fifth season on the staff. Haley still owns the UMD record for the best goaltend- ing average in a season, set during his senior year (1960-61) at 2.7 goals per game. This performance also earned him the squad's Most Valuable Player award. It has naturally fallen upon Haley to correct the flaws of the goaltending corps.
