Win All Matches, Tie with Indiana for Lead
The 1965 Big Ten tennis cham-
pionship came a step closer for
Michigan yesterday as it won
every round it played in the con-
werence meet at Bloomington, Ind.
Defending champion Indiana,
playing on its home courts, also
won all its matches. The Wolver-
ines played one more match in
the preliminary round, however,
and the extra point they garnered
there ties them with the Hoosiers will play in number one doubles
at 100 points apiece. against top-seeded Clark Graeb-

western in number two singles, day's semi-final round. Each
and Hedrick and Jerry Stewart match victory is worth three points
to a team, and a player knocked
off in the semi-finals picks up six
less points than a champion.
Thus the Wolverines, by meet-
ing top-seeded Wildcats before the
Hoosiers do, need to pull an upset:
or two to stay on top. Michigan;
lost all the amove matches in dual
meet competition during the reg-:
ular season when it was defeated
by Northwestern 6-3 and beat In-
diana 5-4.
The Wolverines will be the fa-
vorites today though in numbersF
two through six singles and three
doubles. Going all the way in all
of these could offset losses in oth-
er positions.
Two matches in which Coach
Bill Murphy's squad will not par-
ticipate but which could do a lot
to help them toward the title will
also be played tomorrow. The
CHAMPIONSHIP AT STAKE:
wolverines Face OSU in D
The title hinging on Wolverine,
Buckeye and Spartan every game,
the Big Ten baseball season closes
this weekend with these three
teams still in the thick of the race.
Ohio State presently holds down
first place with an 8-2 record.
Michigan is right behind at 9-3,
and MSU just a game further back
at 8-4.
All three teams face each other
today and tomorrow, and a Wol-
verine sweep would bring them the
title outright. They face the Buck-
MOBY BENEDICT
eyes in a single game at Columbus
today and the Hoosiers in a dou-
bleheader at Bloomington Satur-
day.
Spartan Schedule
Meanwhile, the Spartans will be
playing Indiana today at Bloom-
ington and Ohio State twice at
Columbus.
Ohio State has both the best
and the worst of the schedule,
playing all three games at home
but playing all of them against
the league's top teams. Michigan
faces only one top team, the Buck-
eyes, but that is little consolation
because they are expected to start
their number-one hurler, Steve
Arlin, against the Wolverines.
Arlin is one of the finest Big
Ten pitchers. The sophomore
righthander has the best won-
lost record (5-0), most strikeouts
(55) and most innings pitched
(411/3) in the conference. He also
has a 1.31 earned-run average.
Pitchers' Duel
In a game that promises to be a
pitchers' duel, Coach Moby Bene-
dict will probably counter with
Bob Reed. Also a sophomore right-
hander, Reed was the Wolverines'
best pitcher until last weekend
when he was bombed by the Spar-
tans.
Overall, OSU and Michigan
have, respectively, the second- and
third-best earned-run averages in
the league. Only Iowa's 1.53 ex-
ceeds the Buckeyes' 2.10, while
MSU's 2.35 is right behind the
Wolverines' 2.23.
Neither team has top hitting.
Ohio State is ninth in the Big
Ten with a .214 average while
Michigan ranks sixth with .235.
Thanks to the bats of Dick Schyr-
er and Carl Cmejrek, however ,the
Wolverines have the most total
bases in the league at 134. The
Linksters To
Shoot for Top
At Big Tens
This weekend the Michigan
linksters will be making a bid for
the Big Ten championship in La-
fayette, Ind.
Leading the Wolverines will be
junior Bill Newton.Newton has
compiled the top average for all
Big Ten players, swinging only
73.3 strokes per game. Last year
he tied for third in the conference
at the meet.
Teeing off with Newton will be
Captain Peter Passink, Marc Yahn,
Bob Barkley, Jim Evashevski,
Chuck West and Frosty Evashev-
ski.
Michigan's main opposition is
expected to come from defending
champion Purdue. Five of last
year's top six finishers are back
to compete in this year's meet.
Besides Newton, they are Indi-
ana's Jim Jewell, Purdue's Bob
Zender, Indiana's Dallas Peters,
Ohio State's Jim Brown and Min-
nesota's Dave Gumilia (who was
last year's runner-up).
Buckeyes' 97 puts them in sev
place.
Cmejrek is the Big Ten's#
leading batter with a .405a
age. Schyrer at .375 is in
place, and he leads the le
in doubles (6), total bases
and RBI's (11). He is tied

Indiana also had little trouble
in most of its matches. Its clos-
est contest came in number five

Jerry Riessen of Northwestern, 11-

in the final set of the quarter-
final match but managed to pull
it out, giving the Hoosiers three
more points.
Semi-final matches will be play-
ed today, and final rounds tomor-
row. Indiana is shooting for its
second straight title while Michi-
gan is trying to come out on top
after finishing up in the runner-
up spot two years in a row. Be-
fore that, Coach Murphy's men
won the crown four straight times.

"We're not as tough as we've
been the last four or five years,
but in track you always have a
shot at it."
This is how Coach Don Can-
ham, one of the Big Ten's most
successful track mentors, sums up
Michigan's chances of capturing ' -
the Western Conference trackh
crown today and tomorrow at
Iowa.
Canham's teams have won four
outdoor titles in the last decade,
the most recent in 1962. In addi-
tion they have picked up six in-'
door championships and have
finished second 11 times.
MSU Favored
This year's track squad must
take second place to Michigan
State in the favorite's role, how-
ever. MSU finished a close second
to Wisconsin in the indoor meet n
March, while the Wolverines were
a distant third, 21 points behind
the leaders.
"This is a good team," Canham_
says. "But the league is tougherh
than it's ever been. Wisconsin,
Michigan State, and Minnesotar
are the teams to beat."
Were each team's players to,
equal their best performances of KENT BERNARD

finish second behind the Spar-
tans, 41 points to 37 5/6. Mich- Dion at the meet, will be out to

jumper; Daswell Campbell, who
has the season's best 440 mark:
Gene Washington, tops this year;
in the 120- and 330-yard hurdles,
and miler Jim Bowen.
Wisconsin's top challengers are
Bill Holden, who has won three
high jump titles and holds the Big
Ten indoor record; Gerry Beatty,
the current indoor high hurdles
champ; Ken Latigolal, indoor:
half-mile champion, and Barney
Peterson, indoor champ in the
1000.

except the one- and two-mile runs
and the mile relay. Everything else
takes place Saturday.
