ietmen Second Behind Northwestern
T
By TOM ROWLAND
Special To The Daily
E V A N S T 0 N Northwestern
placed individual winners in six
of the nine meet divisions and ran
away with the Big Ten tennis
championships here yesterday.
The Wildcats pushed their to-
tal to 73 in the finals on the way
to their first conference title since
1950, outdistancing second place
Michigan with 42. A late Indiana
splurge edged Michigan State for
the third spot, 34-30%/.
Hal Lowe and Harry Fauquier
picked up the only Michigan first
place medal with a 9-7, 6-4 win
over Northwestern's Jim Erickson
and Ken Paulson on the second
doubles court. The Wolverines won
four runner-up awards while drop-
ping their first conference title in
five years. Three of the four Mich-
igan defeats in the finals went
three sets as the Wolverines gave
Northwestern a tough go for the
final honors.
Important Quarter-Inch
A lack of a mere quarter-inch
halted Ray Senkowski's bid to un-
seat defending number one singles
champion Marty Riessen. Senkow-
ski stopped Riessen in the first
set, 6-2, but the Wildcat junior
rallied to take the next two 6-4,
6-1.
The score was tied at 3-3 in the
second set with Riessen serving
when Senkowski gained a 30-40
lead. By breaking Riessen's serv-
ice, the Wolverine senior would
have had a 4-3 lead with his own
serve coming up the next game.
The score his ad, Senkowski had
a clear shot to the right side of
the court but the ball barely
caught the top of the net and fell
back. Riessen then broke Senkow-
ski's serve with the score 5-4 to
take the second set.
Michigan captain Harry Fau-
quier came back to take a 7-5 sec-
ond set from Northwestern's Clark
Graebner after dropping the first
6-2. But Graebner's vicious serve
and forehand came back to trip
up Fauquier in the third, 6-1.
Flood Loses
Wildcat Bill Rice beat Michi-
gan's Brian. Flood for the fourth
singles title, 6-7, 7-5.
Ron Linclau handed NU's Skip
Gage a 6-1 first set and jumped
ahead in the second 3-1. Linclau
then began feeling the effects of
playing with the majority of his
back muscles pulled and fell in
the second and third sets, 6-3, 6-3.
Fauquier and Lowe won both of
their sets on service breaks, one
from each of the Wildcat pair.
Ken Paulson of Northwestern
defeated Michigan State's Jack
Damson for the third singles title,
6-8, 6-3, 6-2. Michigan's third
man, John Fraser, remained in the
Northwestern health center with a
high fever.
Charles Fichter of Indiana
downed MSU's Dwight Shelton 8-
10, 6-4, 6-3 on the fifth court.
Riessen and Graebner won the
first doubles, getting by Iowa's
Steve Wilkinson and Dave Strauss,
6-2, 6-3, and Gary Baxter and
Jim Binkley of Indiana gained a
third doubles medal by defeating
Gabe and Rice, 6-4, 6-3./
Michigan's first and second
singles 'players put up stronger
opposition in this meet than
when the Wildcats beat the Wol-
verines in their dual meet in Ann
Arbor last week. Senkowski, who
had lost 6-4, 6-2 to Riessen then,
had not come nearly as close to
an upset as he had yesterday.
The same held true for Fauquier,
who had failed to win a match
from Graebner at Ann Arbor.
Flood's loss in fourth, singles
was his first of the Big Ten sea-
son. He had been victorious in all
of Michigan's conference dual
meets, including the one with
Northwestern. However, Tig Tem-
pleton instead of Rice competed
against him in that contest.
Linclau fared about as well
against Gage as he had against
Carver Blanchard in that same
meet.
In Michigan's victorious second
doubles, it amounted to a rematch
between Fauquier-Lowe and Paul-
son-Erickson, and the Wolverines
repeated by winning in two sets.
The previous score had been 6-4,
7-5, and yesterday's triumph was
equally close.

COURAGEOUS GRIDDER:
Acute Leukemia Fells Davis
CLEVELAND oP)-Ernie Davis,
America's greatest collegiate foot-
ball player of 1961 and a symbol
of tremendous courage to all who
knew him, died peacefully yester-
day in Lakeside Hospital after a
13-month battle against acute
leukemia.
The 23-year-old former All-
America halfback at Syracuse was
the only Negro ever to win the
Heisman Trophy, the highest
honor accorded a college grid
star. He was a member of the
Cleveland Browns in the Na-
tional Football League, but never
played a game professionally.
He was stricken with the deadly
blood 'disease at the College All-
Star camp in Evanston, Ill., last
July. However, doctors now have
concluded the 6' 2" 212-pounder1
actually was afflicted in April,
1962.
News Withheld
For more than three months
the news that Davis had leukemia
was withheld from him and the
general public. Then in October,
doctors and Browns' officials told
Davis his illness was in a remis-
sive state, meaning the disease
was arrested temporarily. Thati
lasted for more than six months-
or until 10 weeks ago.l
Davis entered the hospital
Thursday afternoon. First he,
.
stepped by the Browns' office to
talk to Arthur B. Modell, club
president.
"He was here for one hour,"
Modell said. "He told me he had
to go to the hospital, but that it
was nothing serious and that he'd
be out of there in a couple of
days. His neck was swollen con-
siderably and we all knew what
it meant. I think Ernie did, too.
He was coming by to say good-
bye to me and the others. -
'Nothing to Worry About'
"I asked him how he was feel-
ing," Modell recalled. "All he
would say was, I've felt better,
but it's nothing to worry about.
My throat hurts a little.' He was
apologetic about having to go into
the hospital."
Jim Brown, Cleveland's great
fullback and the man who pre-
ceded Davis at Syracuse, was
deeply touched by Ernie's death.
"This is a great personal loss,"
Brown said. "He was a tremend-
ous individual. He real'zed this
was going to happen eventually,
but he was courageous in the
face of everything. He never
showed his feelings to any of the
guys.
"I never caught him with his
head down. He just carried on
normally as if nothing was wrong.
Football was his life and he
wanted so badly to play for the
Browns."
Modell, who knew Davis for 18
months and went far beyond the
normal relationship of owner-
player in his association with
Ernie, said he planned to start
an Ernie Davis foundation for
leukemia research.
"The Browns will make a sub-
stantial contribution to get the
fund started," Modell said. "His
mother has asked that instead of
flowers, contributions should go to
University Hospital in Cleveland
for the hospital's leukemia re-
search projects."
In his hometown of Elmira,
N.Y., Davis' mother, Mrs. Arthur
Radford said the death was a
"terrible shock." She said she was
numbed by the loss of her only
son. His father is dead.
The body was being shipped by
airplane to Elmira for funeral
services either Monday or Tues-
day. The Browns planned to
charter an airplane for club of-
ficials and players who desire to
attend the funeral.
'Real Gentleman'
Dr. Austin S. Weisberger, Davis'
personal physician and a blood
specialist, said: "Ernie was a
most impressive person. He was
a real gentleman in all senses of
the word. He had great courage
and dignity. You couldn't help
but admire him."
The doctor said Davis' form of
the disease-acute monocytic leu-
kemia-is the worst kind of all.
"There are many kinds of leu-
kemia and persons can live a nor-
mal life with it," he said. "I knew
one person who lived with it for
38 years."
Dr. Weisberger said Davis died
shortly before 2 a.m., 36 hours
after entering the hospital."There
was a rapid acceleration of leu-
kemic cells in the past few days,
but before that Ernie was able to
carry on his normal functions
without any pain whatsoever."
Davis was given heavy doses of
medication in an attempt to
shrink the malignant tissues and
to arrest the blood deterioration.
Then he was sedated with mor-
phine.
"He just coughed once, spit up
some blood and expired," one
doctor said.

Preakness to Candy Spots;

BALTIMORE UP) - Favored
Candy Spots from California re-

from his record yesterday when he
overtook the pacesetting Never
Bend turning for home and sped
off with the $180,000 Preakness at
Pimlico.
Chateaugay, who won the Derby
at Louisville two weeks ago, came
up on the outside in the stretch
and passed Never Bend for second
place in the 87th running of the
famous Maryland classic for 3-
year-olds, 3% lengths behind the
winner.
Never Bend Fades
Chateaugay finished 4% lengths

Bend with Candy Spots third in
the first of the Triple Crown
series.
Candy Spots, owned by Rex C.
Ellsworth and trained by Mesh
Tenney and ridden by Willie Shoe-
maker, justified the confidence in
the Westerner who had main-
tained all along that the Califor-
nia-bred colt was the best 3-year-
old in the land.
3-2 Favorite
A crowd of 35,263 also was con-
vinced of his superiority. They
made the bigchestnut son of Ni-
gromante-Candy Dish by Kahled
the 3-2 favorite. Cain Hoy Stable's
Never Bend was the second choice
at 9-5 while John W. Galbreath's
Chateaugay was sent off as third
choice at 5-2.
It was the first time Ellsworth
and Tenney had started a horse
in the Preakness and it was the
first victory in the race for Jock-
ey Shoemaker in four tries.
Again there will be no Triple
Crown winner this year, but that'll
take nothing away from the third
in the series. Most of these lead-
ing 3-year-olds are going on to
New York for the wind-up, the
$125,000-added Belmont Stakes to
be raced at Aqueduct on June 8.
No horse has managed a Triple
Crown sweep since Citation in
1948.
Big Third
This was not only the third rich-
est Preakness but it was the third
largest crowd and the winner's
time was the third fastest.
Candy Spots was clocked in 1
minute, 56.2 seconds on a track
which was fast by post time al-
though it was covered with water
Saturday morning. The time
equalled Greek Money's winning
time of 1962 and Bold Ruler's
clocking in 1957. Nashua set the
record of 1:54.6 in 1955 and Ca-
pot did it in 1:56 in 1949.
The winner, who also was the
favorite in the Kentucky Derby,
returned $5., $3.20 and $2.20. Cha-
teaugay, ridden by Braulio Baeza,
paid $4.40 and $2.40 and Never
Bend, with Manuel Ycaza in the
saddle, was $2.20 to show.
Candy Spots picked up a purse
of $127,500 to run his career earn-
ings to $476,812.
Right to Front
Ycaza, who was involved in the
famous finish line bumping with
jockey Johnny Rotz last year,
sent Never Bend to the front im-
mediately after the start.
Bill Robinson's Rural Retreat
went right with him and Shoe-
maker came along in third place
with Candy Spots. They went to
the first turn in the same order
with Chateaugay rated well back
in sixth place.

Big Eight
'OKs Intent
Agreement
MANHATTAN, Kan. M - The
Big Eight Conference formally ap-
proved yesterday a letter of in-
tent agreement for all sports with
five other major conferences and
four Eastern schools with a com-
mon signing date of May 20.
The agreement was adopted in
principle by all conferences and
schools involved at the NCAA
convention in Los Angeles in Jan-
uary. Since then they voted on a
May 20 signing date.
Can't Jump
After that date, any high school
athlete who signs with a school
involved in the agreement can-
not jump to another school with-
out losing a year of eligibility.
A Big Eight-Southwest Confer-
ence letter of intent for football
only, which was approved last
December and became effective
Feb. 12, was the forerunner of
the six-conference hookup.
Other conferences involved be-
sides the Big Eight and South-
west are the Atlantic Coast,
Southeast, Big Ten and Missouri
Valley plus Penn State, Syracuse,
West Virginia and Pittsburgh.
Also Approved
The Misouri Valley, Big Ten
and Southwest also have approved
the agreement.
Wayne Duke, Big Eight execu-
tive director-elect, said indica-
tions were the Big Eight and
Southwest would keep their own
earlier signing date for football.
They asked the Misouri Valley
to agree on the earlier football
date but the Valley deferred ac-
tion on this earlier.
All depends on why he uses it.
Most men simply think Menthol-Iced Skin Bracer is the best
after-shave lotion around. Because it cools rather than burns.
Because it helps heal shaving nicks and scrapes. Because it
helps prevent blemishes.
So who can blame them if Bracer's crisp, long-lasting aroma
just happens to affect women so remarkably?
Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because
of this effect.
How intelligent!

Does a man really take unfair advantage of women
