Seventh .Net Title Falls to Murphy's Teams

By TOM ROWLAND
Michigan's tennis team return-
ed 'from -Minneapolis Sunday
morning, tired with that kind of
exhaustion that comes with the
pride of a real championship ef-
fort.
Exactly five hours before the
Wolverines left the Twin Cities
they were on a -Minnesota tennis
court taking the honors as top
tennis crew in the Big Ten. The
conference champs won five indi-
vidual medals and chalked up a 10-
point lead over challenging North-
Goldsmith
Gets Second
or Sailors
John Goldsmith of Michigan's
sailing club maneuvered into sec-
ond place in the Midwest Col-
legiate Sailing Association Regatta
at Lake Mendota, .Wis., over the
weekend.
Sailing a 12' cat-rigged tech
dinghy, Goldsmith scored 12,632
points to take runner-up honors
behind Chuck Miller of Wiscon-
sin, who won eight of 16 races for
15,168 points.
Mel Roberts, the only other rep-
resentative of the Ann Arbor club,
placed tenth out of 16 entrants
with 5,767 points. In all, eight
Big Ten teams .were represented,
but no team champions were
crowned.

western while picking up their
fourth straight conference crown.
In the last eight years Coach
Bill Murphy's men have taken the
title seven times, losing out to
Iowa in 1958. They were expected
to get a real go for the first place
points from the Wildcats, but the
Michigan net power was just too
much to reckon with.
But the Wildcats came through
with some key victories. Marty
Riessen unseated Michigan's Ray
Senkowski from the number one
singles position, 6-1, 6-4, and then
teamed up with Bob Ericson to
take the top doubles title from
Senkowski and Harry Fauquier.
The latter match, called some
of the best doubles action that
the Big Ten has seen, went right
down to the line to 4-6, 15-13, 11-
9.
The Wolverines, plagued with a
bit of "net-itis," couldn't quite pull
enough tricks out of the match to
grab a deciding second-set game.
In the third set Senkowski's serve,
reaching top form in the doubles
play, gave Michigan a 9-8 lead,
but the Wolverine pair couldn't
hang on to the advantage.
Riessen Serves Win
Northwestern broke Fauquier's
service to jump ahead, 10-9, and
then Riessen took over at the
baseline to serve the Wildcats the
match game.
Fauquier, Gerry Dubie, and
captain Jim Tenney took titles in
second, third, and fourth singles,
respectively. Fauquier battled Illi-
nois' Frank Noble, who had re-
covered from an eye injury incur-.
red earlier in the tournament, to
a 6-0, 8-6 Michigan decision.
Dubie coasted by MSU's Tom
Jamieson, 6-1, 6-2; Tenney de-
feated Chuck Lockhart, 6-4, 6-2.
Linclau Nipped
Ron Linclau really hit full stride
on the Minneapolis courts, smash-
ing his way on a pair of upsets
to gain a berth in the finals. And
here, too, Linclau put out a top
effort, but fell to NW's Ken Paul-
son, 9-7, 7-5. "Although I'm pleas-
ed with the way I've been playing
in the past few days," said the
Michigan sophomore after the de-
feat, "I feel I could have beat
Paulson if my serve would have
been a little more consistent."
Linclau finally got his serve in-
to action in doubles, teaming up
with Tom Beach to batter Jim
Kohl and Chuck Lockhart of'
Northwestern, 6-4, 6-1.
Said Beach afterwards: "We

realized they were tough but knew
if we kept the pressure on them
we could win it." The Wolverine

duo did just that. Some slam-bang
serving on the part of Beach amd
teammate Linclau kept the Blue
on the offensive and gave Michi-
gan the third doubles medal.
Dubie, Tenney Cinch Win
Dubie' and Tenney rolled over
MSU's Dick Colby and Tom Wier-
man on the number two doubles
finals. It was this victory that
gave the Wolverines the necessary
points to shoot Michigan per-
manently into first place.
"We knew we needed this
match," said Tenney after the
Wolverine win. "We really wanted
it-and we got it."
The Maize and Blue finished
with 66'/ points. Northwestern
had 56 2and Michigan State was
third with 29.

By DAVE GOOD
Michigan Coach Don Canham,
who always seems to look on the
dark side of things during a Big
Ten track meet, was his usual
mopey self when the preliminaries
of the 62nd annual outdoor meet
.started in the rain at Purdue last
Friday afternoon.
His prize broad-jumper, Dave
Raimey, had stayed home with a
pulled leg muscle, and his prize
sprinters, sophomores Mac Hunt-
er and Ken Burnley, were both
warming up with heavily taped
legs,
Burnley made it through his
qualifying heat in the 100-yd. dash
(and as it turned out, he just
missed placing in Saturday's top
five), but Hunter was able only
to hobble part of the way through
his 440-yd. dash heat and try a
few broad jumps.
Then, horrors of horrors, Bennie
McRae nearly put himself out of
the meet when he hit a hurdle
coming off the turn in the prelim-
inaries of the 220-yd. lows and
hurt his leg.
Soudek Takes Second
The only ray of light for the
Wolverines that day was Ernst
(Karate) Soudek's second place in
the discus throw.
That night, when Canham was
trying to figure out how his team
could get enough points to beat
Wisconsin, he kept coming up

short every time he looked at Mc-
Rae's leg.
And Saturday afternoon, after
Michigan had beaten Wisconsin
for the title, 48 to 41, Canham
still couldn't figure it out com-
pletely.
"McRae took all the starch out
of their hurdlers in the highs,"
Canham offered for a starter. "We
had his leg on ice all night. Bennie
did it on will."
What McRae had done was to
forget about his leg to win the
highs and lows and, more impor-
tant, keep Larry Howard and his
Wisconsin teammates from win-
ning the meet in the hurdles, as
they did indoors when Howard
won both races.
Highs Si, Lows No
But that's not all there was to
it. Canham was lucky to have Mc-
Rae run the lows at all. Two years
ago as a sophomore McRae quali-
fied first in the high hurdle pre-
liminaries but then had to drop
out of the meet when he hurt
his back running in the trials for
the lows. Ever since then, McRae
has avoided the lows around a
turn like the plague.
"But he came into my office
Monday morning and asked me if
I wanted him to run the lows," ex-
plained Canham. "I said to give it
a try and then he ran a :23.8 in
a time trial in the afternoon. So
were were in."
Another major factor in the
Wolverines' win was Ergas Leps,
the senior from Toronto. Some
people will remember this meet as
the day that Leps lost the half-
mile, but those close to the situa-
tion will mark it down as the day
he ran the best triple of his career.
First Leps won the mile in
4:10.8, his fastest in the confer-
ence-faster than he wanted to go,
in fact. Michigan State's Roger
Humbarger set a fast past for the
half, although Leps said afterward
that nobody was 'worried about
him. Then Leps had to work hard
to hold off Iowa's Jim Tucker,
who had also planned to run the
two-mile afterward.
All Pooped
But as it turned out, nobody in
that mile field was able to do a
thing the rest of the afternoon,
except Lops, of course.
After only a half-hour's rest,
Leps went into the 880 against
Iowa's sensational Bill Frazier, the
indoor 600 champ, who had watch-
ed the mile with interest and de-
cided that Leps could be. beaten
in the half.
Frazier, a sophomore, pulled the
field out fast, clipping off the first
quarter in :52, with Lops the only
one on his tail.
But on thelast turn, where Leps
usually makes his move, Frazier
stepped it up and moved 10 yds.
out, and that was it. Frazier won
and tied the conference record of
X1:50.1 in doing it.
"I gave up on him in the cor-
ner," said a disgusted Lps after-
wards. "When I saw he wasn't

gaining anything on me, I should
have turned it on. I was mad to
lose that half. It wrecked the
whole day."
Matter of Opinion
But as far as everybody else
was concerned, it turned out for
the best. Canham pointed out, "If
he'd made a determined effort to
beat him (Frazier), we probably
would have been knocked down in
the mile relay."
In the relay, in which Carter
Reese, Talt Malone, Charlie Aqui-
no and Leps finished fourth, Leps
surprised everybody by coming

back for the third time in the
near 90-degree weather to do a
:48.5 quarter on the third leg.
"Leps came down that straight-
away like a madman," grinned As-
sistant Coach Elmer Swanson. "I
don't know where he got it."
As for the rest of the Wolver-
ines, sophomores Dave Hayes and
Roger Schmitt were the biggest
surprises. Canham decided to run
Hayes in just the 880 instead of
having him double up in the mile.
And Hayes responded with a third
place behind Leps in the race,
coming on hard over the final 220
yds. and taking th* burden off
Leps to win.
Schmitt's performance was all
the more outstanding considering
his disappointment of the day be-
fore, when he failed to place in the
discus. But Saturday, Schmitt got
off the best official shot put of
his career, beating defending
champion Don Hendrickson, from
Wisconsin, and everybody else ex-
cept the Badgers' Elmars Ezerins,
who had also beaten Soudek in
the discus on Friday.
