Freehan Has
Six Homers
By DON BURNESS
Wearing number 14 on his back
and handling the bat as if it were
a toothpick, Bill Freehan has ap-
parently lived up to the billing
that he was a sure-fire profes-
sional prospect.
Freehan sacrificed what is
thought to be a sizable bonus to
get a college education. No less
than 16 major league teams have
shown interest in the Royal Oak-
born slugger and a glance at this
year's statistics show him leading
in virtually every department.
In the 13 games played, Free-
has hit at a .462 clip and has
clouted six home runs as well as
driving in 22 runs. He leads the
Wolverines in runs scored with 20,
doubles with three, and hits with
25. The record speaks for itself.
Prepped in Florida
Freehan played high school ball
at Bishop Berry High School in
St. Petersburg, Fla., where he first
attracted attention botti as a sure
handed end on the gridiron and
as a talented catcher. He hit over
.400 his last two years in leading
the team to the state finals his
senior campaign.
During the summers, he, along
with Dick Honig and Fritz Fisher,
played on the Lundquist Insurance

ed for the 1961 season. All in-
terested persons should contact

nine that won the National Ama-
teur Baseball Federation two years
running. Freehan saw action only
as a catcher until this season
where he has split his duties be-
-
tween first base and behind the
plate.
Freehan's level swing and ten-
dency to pull the ball remind one
of Roger Maris of the Yankees.
The 6'3" sophomore admits that
he will have to learn to hit the
outside pitch to right field in or-
der to be a better hitter.
Bill Freehan is not just anoth-
er college athlete destined to
either make the grade or not; he
is a team ball player as evidenced
by his admiration for the other
players who comprise this year's
squad. Most of the starters played
in the same summer league, and
there is a mutual respect for each
one's abilities.
More Than Capable
Freehan is a more than capable
student, having made the Big Ten
All-Scholastic football team as an
end where he started the last few
games of the season. But baseball
seems to hold his future, for he is
hopeful of playing in the big
leagues.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon ath-
lete said as he watched Joe Jones
belt a pitch over the fence, "Our
hitting is pretty good this year.'}
Bill Freehan's bat does most of
the talking, though.

WOLVERINE SLUGGER-That's Bill Freehan, one of the big
factors in the Michigan baseball squad which has erupted for a
10-3 mark, including a current four-game winning streak. Free-

half-dozen homers.

STATE STREET AT LIBERTY
OUT OF THE RAIN emerged a winner.
But even more important on that nasty day in Columbus, the
Michigan golf team showed signs of returning to the top of the Big
Ten golfing world for the first time since way back in 1952.,
Sometimes in water up to their ankles the Wolverines came from
the depths to take charge. Ohio State, Purdue and Indiana all suc-
cumbed on a course that might well have been used for the Confer-
ence swim championships.
MAYBE THE WOLVERINES are simply tremendous "mudders,"
because their other victory, over Detroit, also came in the rain. From
here they appear to be more than that.
It has been a long, long time since '52. The fall was rapid and
the climb back has been slow. Two years agotheWolverines made a
token run at the crown on the University course, but Purdue finally
found the range, leaving Michigan back on the tee, a distant second.
Really Can't Say. . .
YOU REALLY COULDN'T SAY that Michigan left its opponents on
the tee Saturday. In fact you really couldn't say that they
"swamped" anyone, though they played in marsh-like grass.
The margin over Ohio State was a meager one stroke. But a
victory over the Buckeyes on their own course, long a burialgrounds
for Michigan teams, simply can't be brushed aside.
The total score wasn't bad, considering the conditions, 460
swings. Matched with last year's winning score, by Purdue, it stacks
up pretty well. The Big Ten Champion Boilermakers, on a dry course,
averaged 76 blows apiece for a five man team. Taking the top five men
for Michigan Saturday, the Wolverines averaged an even 76 also.
A CHAMPIONSHIP FOR Katzenmeyer, to say the least, would
be a pleasant surprise. The years since '52 have been rugged ones as
his teams have sagged as low as ninth.
Ohio State is good, and it takes a good golf team to beat the
Buckeyes. It takes a great golf team to win the Big Ten, a team with
the guts, shots, luck, and then something else, to survive all the funny
bounces the little white bal might take in the course of a 72 hole
tournament.
The Wolverines have the guts. They proved it last week in the
rain. They have the shots. Luck comes to a good team, but Michigan
appears to have an added asset in the form of team balance.
Blessed With . .
THE WOLVERINES ARE BLESSED with a blend of senior experi-
ence, a touch of sophomoric exuberance, and a few fence riding
juniors. Combine that with an eternally pessimistic coach and you've
hopefully found the "something extra."
"We've got to get better," says Katzenmeyer, "we're not good
enough yet." The best part of it seems to lie in the fact that his team
realizes it, and is practicing harder. They even hit balls last Sunday,
usually their only rest day of the week,
THE OLD GUARD of Capt. Joe Brisson and Dick Youngberg have
been through it all, twice. Both have seen the Conference from the
top and the bottom, and both have placed in the top ten, individually.
They will tell yot the picture looks much better from the top.
Bill Newcomb, Tom Ahern, and Mike Goode hold down the mid-
dle, classwise, of the lineup. Newcomb is the only letterman, but both
Ahern and Goode have been around, playing as front line reserves last
year.
Yet to Break Loose .. .
OF THE THREE ONLY AHERN has yet to break loose. Newcomb
had his day last week, tieing for medalist with Ohio State's Mike
Podolski. Goode was hot against Detroit, touring the course in 70.
Giving the sophomores a place on the top six is home-grown
product Chuck Newton. Raised in Ann Arbor High School's winning
tradition, Newton seems to be one of those guys who just doesn't
know how to lose. .
There are no stars, just a team that wants to win. The slim vic-
tory did more for them than just boost morale, it emphasized the fact
that a single stroke-maybe a short putt-can make the difference,
especially if they want to emerge a winner in the big one.
It's a lesson many players learn too late, and let's hope the title-
hungry Wolverines have learned it well.
