Way on Little More Than Guts

It took a lot of guts.
And that's the biggest thing that
kept a rebuilding Wolverine track
team in the running for con-
ference honors last season. -
The loss of 13 lettermen after
the 1964 season left the cinder-
men the big task of shaping in-
experienced sophomores into re-
placements for the graduated
stars. So with Captain Kent Ber-
nard as the nucleus of 17 re-
turning lettermen, Coach Don;
Canham went to work training for
the indoor winter season in the,
confines of musty old Yost Field-
house.
Most of the indoor season con-
sists of federation opens and re-
lays, in which team scores are not
kept. They serve the coach and
team as conditioning for cham-
piohship meets and "discovering"
new talent. However, before the
indoor championships in Chain-
paign this year, the tracksters
competed in three dual meets
against nonconference foes.
Take on Chicagoj
In January, Michigan traveled
to the Windy City to challenge the
Chicago Track Club for its first
competition of the year. A closev
meet indicated that the Wolver-
ines had a lot of work ahead of
them as the Chicagoans dealt
them, a 67-64 setback.
Michigan got a lot of help from KENT BERNARD

encouraging performances by and Steve Leutchmian, both soph-

A few federation meets saw began to come through in big'
much improvement in Wolverine ways. Bob Gerometta started run-f

Steadfast Bernard set, a new Big
Ten record of 1:09.9 in winning
the 600-yard run, breaking the
string just a tenth of a secoid
ahead of his long-time rival from
Wisconsin, Al Montalbano.
Bill Yearby put the shot just
over 54 for a second place, and
was toilowed by sophomore Har-
vey, who heaved the 16-pound
ball 53'6". Sweeney managed a
third in the broad jump, t-aveling

fifth. Two more fifths were con-
tributed by Brian Kelley in the
1000-yard run and the mile-relayI
team.
Championships
Alter the Big Ten meet came'
the first annual NCAA Indoor
Championships Only one Wol-
verine placed in the meet-
Canamare-and he did it in grand
style, too. He soared over the bar
at 15'4k1" to take a third in the
event and gain a varsity record.
The cindermen got their first
outdoor competition at the South
Carolina Relays, in which 171
teams participated. Things looked
good all the way as Michigan tied
with Maryland for most first
places (five), and added a second,
two thirds, and two fourths.
Harvey set a meet mark of 54'
7" in the shot put, Ted Benedict
set one of 9:11.9 in the two-mile
run, the mile relay team broke the
meet record with a 3:14.1 clocking,
and Canamare set an outdoor'
Imark with a vault of 15'334". The
two-mile relay team took the
other first.
Continue Improving
Michigan continued its improve-
ment at the Ohio State Relays
and Canamare again stole the
show with a new mark of 15'5".
When the dual meets began, a
rematch with the Chicago Track
Club was first on the agenda. This
time in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines
retaliated for the earlier loss with
an 89-37 pasting, winning 11 ofE

The 1965 version of Michiaa
men in white served and volleyed
their way through the Big Ten
dual meet season with only one
loss and then took advantage of
clutch victories in the champion-
ship tournament to upset defend-
ing titlist Indiana and take their'
eighth conference tennis crown in
the last 11 years.
The season started out on a
seemingly dismal note when the
Wolverines were trounced three
times on their spring tour in late
March. However, it was the net-
ters first outdoor play and the
losses against the strong southern
teams gave the squad experience
'which was helpful in later play.
This season was the first in,
which dual meet victories had a
bearing on the championship.
Each team played a round-robin
scdedule and each doubles or
singles victory in the dual meet
counted as a point toward the'
roW vn.
Three Shutouts
The netmen opened conference
play with three perfect 9-0 white-
washes of dual meet opponents.
Following these victories came
an 8-1 trounching of Michigan
State and then Michigan's only
dual meet loss of the Big Ten
season-to Northwestern by a 6-3
score..
After registering another 8-1
walloping and two more 9-0 shut-
outs over league foes, the netmen
met Indiana on the last weekend
of the dual meet season. The
Hoosiers were unbeaten and had
defeated Northwestern, the only
team to top Michigan.
The Wolverines, however, pulled
out a 5-4 victory over the Hoosiers
and entered the conference meet
trailing them by only one point.
Northwestern Third
By winning eight of their; nine
dual meets, the netters amassed
a total of 69 match victories and
12 losses. Indiana wound up the
regular season with a 70-11 rec-
ord, followed at a distance by

Drubbing
The Nittany Lions came into
Ann Arbor ready to fight, but
when the dust had settled to the
floor of the fieldhouse, Michigan
had drubbed the visitors 92-49.
"Three days later the Wolverines
disposed of the Irish of Notre
Dame in their last indoor dual
meet of the season.
During the course of the winter
ieets the trackmen chalked up
some impressive marks. Bernard
was running good times in the
600-yards and the quarter mile,
while other lettermen were work-
ing into top shape in their respec-
tive events. Cecil Norde, Bob Jar-
ema, Bob Densham, Tom Sweeney,
Dan Hughes, Fred Lambert, Des
Ryan and Dore Reid all con-
tributed to Michigan's strengthen-
ing team.
But new names like Jack Harvey
team.
Canamare Stars
Perhaps most impressive of all,
though, was pole vaulter George'
Canamare, who began an assault
on Michigan and Big Ten vault
records which is still going. He
cleared 14'7" in the Notre Dame
meet.
The Wolverines entered the
conference championships as un
derdogs to Wisconsin and Michi-l
gan State. and Minnesota was also
being talked . up. The Badgers
collected a winning total of 46
points to edge the Spartans by 21rz
points. Although Michigan took
third, it was a disappointing 21
points off the pace.
Still, there were bright spots in
the meet. Reid beat a strong field
in the 60-yard dash to win with a
clocking of :06.2, and sophomore
teammate Carl Ward finished fifth
behind him to add a point.
