I 4 'EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, MAY 20 1962 I enn is, Track Teams Win Conl ference Crowns Wolverines Fauquier, Dubie, Tenney Win Singles; Senkowski Beaten by Riessen in Meet's Feature Duo Q; McRae Cops Both Hurdles; Denhart Sets Vault Record (Continued from Page 1) (Continued from Page 1) Michigan's c r o w n, however, didn't come without a few court scars. Number one in particular, Northwestern's wonderboy Marty Riessen dethroned Ray Senkow- ski from the tbp singles cham- pionship in convincing 6-1, 6-4 style. Senkowski, who took the title as a sophomore a year ago, never got a start against Riessen, who ranks 17th in national singles. The Wildcat sophomore jumped out in front to a 3-0 first set lead' and with some great recovery shots took the first stanza 6-1. Senkowski, suffering from in- consistency on the "big" serves and having trouble with Riessen's shots to the net, followed by drop- ping the first three games of the second set. Then the Wolverine head racketman rallied to 4-5, but Riessen knocked any comeback hopes with a love game to clinch the match. Northwestern copped the first doubles too, Riessen teaming up with Bob Ericson to nip Senkowski and Harry Fauquier in a cliff hanger 4-6, 15-13, 11-9. Victories in every set came on service breaks in what turned out to be the first loss for the Michigan doubles team this year. Earlier in the afternoon, Fau- quier had tripped up Illinois' Frank Noble, 6-0, 8-6, to cop the number two singles championship in his first season of competition. Fauquier breezed through the first set on a powerful backhand, found rough going in the second, but pulled it out with some determin- ed smash action. As forecasted, Gerry Dubie over- whelmed Michigan State's Tom Jamieson, 6-1, 6-2, to climax a defeatless season and mark up a number three Big Ten medal. Du- bie had defeated Jamieson earlier this year 6-1, 6-0. Captain Jim Tenney-in a bit of revenge-rolled past North- western's Chuck Lockhart for the number four singles Championship 6-4, 6-2. It was Lockhart who knocked Tenney out of the Big Ten tourney two years ago in fourth singles play. Carver Blanchard of Northwest- ern, who defeated Michigan's Tom Beach earlier in the meet, took the fifth singles crown. He defeated Indiana's Jim Binkley, 6-4, 6-2. Wolverine sixth man, Ron Lin- clau played his best tennis of the season here at the conference meet, but the Michigan soph lost out yesterday to Wildcat Ken Paulson in the final match, 9-7, 7-5. It was Dubie and Tenney, who clinched the meet for the Michi- gan netmen, with a rousing 6-1, 6- 3, victory over MSU's Dick Colby' and Tom Wierman in the number' two doubles finals. Beach and Linclau rounded out the Michigan win bracket, trip- ping Northwestern's number three doubles team, Jim Kohl and Lock- hart, 6-4, 6-1. Consistent serving kept the Wildcats off balance-and the de- ciding match point was typical. Linclau missed a Northwestern smash and was all set to prepare himself for the next serve when teammate Beach made a desper- ate last-second retrieve of the hall. gan State, Purdue and Iowa were helping to hold the favored Badg- ers down to 41. And it was the old guard that won it for Michigan - Denhart clearing 15'/4" to win the vault; Bennie McRae re-establishing himself as the best hurdler in the conference with victories of :14.2 in the 120-yd. highs and :23.6 in the 220-yd. lows; Charlie Aquino coming through with a record-tie- ing 1:19.2 to win the 660-yd. run; and, naturally, Captain Ergas Leps running one of the most memor- able triples in conference history, winning the mile in 4:10.8, plac- ing second in the 880-yd. run in 1:52.8 and bringing the mile re- lay team back into contention with a :48.5 quarter-mile on the third leg. McRae, Leps Tops Canham was overjoyed with the whole team, but McRae and Leps were the two he couldn't stop talk- GERRY DUBIE ... singles champ I i1 i Tennis Summaries DOUBLES FINALS SINGLES 1.

After wrenching his leg in Fri- day's low hurdle preliminaries, McRae flew away from the field in the highs yesterday, beating Michigan State's Herman Johnson by a smashing four yds. and leav- ing Wisconsin's Larry Howard, the double hurdle winner indoors, straining back in third place. Then in the lows, the race which put him out of the Big Ten meet two years ago with a crippling back injury, McRae boomed out around the turn in the lead and held off Ohio State's Paul War- field by a half-yd. Wins Mile For Leps, there was disappoint- ment along with the victory. The crew-cut senior, who was trying for his eighth and ninth Big Ten titles, got the mile title in im- pressive fashion, taking the lead going into the final turn, giving it up again to Iowa's Jim Tuck- er on the turn and then matching kicks with the wildly sprinting Hawkeye thundering down the homestretch. Then about 30 yds. from the tape, Tucker broke under the strain and it was Leps winning easily by five full yds. Running only 30 minutes later in the 880, Leps had to be satis- fied with a second behind long- striding Bill Frazier, an Iowa sophomore who had qualified first on Friday in a fast 1:51.9. Leps hung five yds. back of Frazier on the backstretch, but when he fell 15 yds. back on the last turn and saw teammate Dave Hayes coming in several yds. be- hind him, he coasted in second some 20 yds. back of Frazier, who tied the Big Ten record of 1:50.1. Leps was disappointed after- ward, but Canham pointed out, "I think the fact that he knew we might need him on the mile relay deterred him from really tearing out after that guy" Leps Saves Relay And it was Leps who saved the relay. After Carter Reese, who led off in a strong :48.7, and Talt Malone started Leps off in fourth place, he passed up Purdue and Wisconsin down the stretch to put Aquino in second behind Iowa, the eventual winner. The Wolverine Junior, who had taken to the outside to outkick Iowa's Roger Kerr by three yds. in the 660, couldn't match Purdue's Dave Mills and Wisconsin's Elzie Higginbottom, so his strong :49.0 leg was only good for fourth. Denhart's win in the vault cli- maxed. a great day for the Wol- verines in the field events. Min- nesota's Dick Morrow stayed with the Michigan senior up through 14'6", but it was all Denhart after that. He became the first man to clear 15' in a Big Ten meet when he made the 15'%/4" with room to spare on his third try. George Wade tied for fifth with a vault of 13'10". Michigan picked up more points in the high jump when Steve Wil- liams placed second at 6'7" and sore-kneed Al Ammerman made his best jump of the outdoor sea- son to tie for third at 6'4". Wil- liams made a determined bid for the title, but couldn't match In- diana's Connie Miller, the indoor champ, when they got up to 6'- 7 ". Sophomore Roger Schmitt was the one who really got the Wol- verines off on the right foot. In the f i r s t results announced, Schmitt broke up a Wisconsin slam in the shot put when he got one off that sailed 53'9", the best of his life, to take second behind big Elmars Ezerins, who had beat- en Wolverine Ernie Soudek in the discus throw on Friday. CHUCK AQUINO wins 660 (Continued from Page 1) morning round when Tom Pen- dlebury couldn't keep up his tor- rid pace of the day before. Cam- eron came through with a one- over par 73 while Mouw scored a 76. In the afternoon round it was veterans Bill Newcomb and Chuck Newton who set the pace.

Pendlebury fell off his game of Friday which netted him a 73, 69 and put him in second place for the individual race. Yesterday, he scored a 78, 81 but it was still good enough to put him in a tie for tenth place when he and Indiana's Byron Comstock both scored 301 for the four rounds. It was the first time in three years that Michigan had finished in the first division. The last time was in 1959 when the meet was held at Ann Arbor and Michigan finished sec- ond. Coach Bert Katzenmeyer was delighted with the performance. "I'm extremely pleased," said the smiling Michigan coach when the final scores were posted. When you look at our season's record and compare it to how we ended up in the meet, I can't help but feel the boys did an excellent job. 'Continuous Improvement' "The season was one of contin- uous improvement," he went on. "And I was glad to see the boys hit their peak at the place where it counted." Michigan came close to winning the meet. Indiana as a team had 1509 strokes while Michigan had 1523. Purdue, the second place team, scored 1514.
