s1m THE MICHIGAN DAILY i al {y /I YI 1 MAll-Stars Announced TOO MANY BAD DRIVES: Brisson Fightmg SlowStart n- By JOHN SCOCHIN Some may prefer the likes of acas, Stith, Dischinger, Kaiser id Walker, but around the Mich- an campus other all-star basket- ll squads also come to mind. The 1961 intramural all-star iits were announced this week the three divisions; independ- it, social fraternity and residence alls. Each member is an out- anding performer, usually the ickbone of his team, who must )mbine, shooting, rebounding and aymaking . skill in order to be lected. The class of the independent league this season are, at the for- ward slots, Joel Boyden of Trust, a varsity shot putter and foot- ball player, and Roger Prelesnik of the Rockets. Jerry Olson, also of trust, and Fred Eubanks of the Foresters occupy guard positions. Big Dick McLaughlin, the center of the Rockets, finishes out the unit. The cream of the social fra- ternity crop is regarded as for- *ards Art Bartner of Sigma Al- pha Mu and varsity shortstop Dick Honig of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

LAST SOCIAL HOUR OF THE YEAR- DON'T MISS IT! of the team are Delta Tau Del- ta's Lars Anderson and Jack Rashleigh of Sigma Phi. Football captain George Mans of Theta Xi was voted as the starting center. Residence Hall Kingpins of the Residence Hall circuit are forwards Ron Tate of Reeves House and Maurice Warn- er of Hayden. Ron Chapman of Scott and John Green of Adams bag guard honors and Willard Stawski of Gomberg was dubbed the starting center. This is the 44th annual IM all- star quintet since its origination in 1917. Not Easy Picking Picking the squad is no easy job, according to intramural di- rector Earl Riskey. "Throughout the season the referees of each game mark on their scoresheets any players which they feel are of all-star caliber. At the end of the year the referees and the IM su- pervisors review the season's per- formances and those players which were mentioned often enough are evaluated. "Then we go through the rec- ords of each performer, taking into consideration his team's showing. Individuals who are fa- miliar with the play of each can- didate are also contacted, such as rival captains and athletic chair- men." "The final five boys are real all-stars and a credit to the squad," Riskey added. Each player receives a certifi- cate for his achievement and has his name placed on a permanent mounting in the IM building.

ARCURE MOTOR SALES NO 3-3309 617 Detroit St. Ann Arbor By DAVE ANDREWS Spring usually brings joy to the heart of a golfer, but this one has been nothing but trouble for Michigan golf Captain Joe Brisson. Last Saturday against Detroit he ballooned to an 82, far above his average which generally ranges between 70 and 75. To say the least he has a few people wor- ried, including himself. "It's a funny thing," said Bris- son. "If I knew what the trouble was I'd sure do my best to correct it. Sometimes you think you've finally got it licked and then you don't." Too Many Bad Shots Michigan Golf Coach Bert Kat- zenmeyer summed up the situa- tion this way. "Joe's hitting too many bad shots. When his tee shots are going good then he has trouble with the irons, and when the rest of his game is all right then it's the putter." On the surface it might appear that all he needs is a few long sessions on the practice tee, but few golfers spend more time than he does hitting balls. Though a math major in engineering school, a casual look toward the practice fairway in the middle of any aft- ernoon will find him intently studying his game. Weather Bothersome A spring slump? Not so much a question of that as of the cold weather according to Brisson. "I just don't like it," he said, "and except for last year I've never played very well in the spring. I'm a hot weather golfer." Ever since he started playing golf at the ripe old age of nine, things have been the same way. Across the Street "We moved into a house right across the street from a golf course," he recalls. "It was just a couple of jumps out the front door. Of course I liked the game and that helps quite a bit," he said. "You've got to like it if you expect to play well." Progressing into the high school' ranks at Grosse Pointe, Brisson be- came one of the finest young golfers in the state. In 1957 he captured the Detroit District Jr. Tournament and then went on to take the State Jaycee Tourney. Upset Nicklaus Still improving he joined the Michigan golf team and last spring reached his peak when he upset Ohio State's touted Jack Nick- laus in a dual meet here. "You don't beat a guy like that very often," Brisson smiled. Despite this great victory, Bris- son considers that his best com- petitive round came last summer while playing in an invitational tournament at Shawnee on the Delaware. Feel Best "I had a 66 that day which was good for medalist," said Joe, "and although I've had a couple of other 66's, they feel best in a tournament." The fact that his best round came in a tournament comes as no surprise to the personable 41-year- old senior. "I'd rather play in a tournament anytime," he said. "In fact I wouldn't mind playing tour- nament golf every day. There's more incentive. When you shoot a 66 playing with a bunch of guys it doesn't mean much. In a tourna- ment the same score turns a few heads." Returning to the present, Bris- son added that he hopes to be able to turn in a couple of rounds like that one this spring. "I've got a couple of things that I've been working on," he said, "maybe this weekend." MAN hi Watin by MIKE GILLMAN Many opinions MOST PEOPLE have a great many opinions. Don Lund is like most people. Therefore, goes the logical syllogism, Don Lund should have a great many opinions. He does. And since his business is being a baseball coach, it's likely, if not logical, that many of those opinions have to do with baseball. They do. Spending an hour or two with the Michigan coach, one is likely to hear a few of these. To save you the trouble of having to go and see Lund-and save him the trouble of having to repeat himself-here is a sample: O N LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL: "Let's keep the parents out." That, in essence, is what Lund considers at least a partial cure for many of the problems that the Little League program has en- gendered. Commenting on one of his favorite subjects, the Wolverine base- ball coach points to the "undue pressure" placed on the pre-adolescent boy who is subjected to the rat-race of regularly-scheduled competi- tion. Lund feels that the whole structure of the Little League program as it is today, tends to create an unhealthy attitude around the young- ster ball players. The evening games, the upset of family schedules, family rivalries developing, pressure of proud parents for top performance, and the inability of the boy in the 8-12-year-old set to cope with the defeat and disillusionment that often come-all of those are undesirable. "I've heard of kids going home crying after games," says Lund. "And I have heard of parents fighting among themselves over dis- puted decisions." He also points up the fact that much of the Little League coach- ing is done by parents-often by parents whose acquaintance with the sport has been a brief one. "They don't know baseball, and they end up teaching the kids things about the sport that are just plain wrong." * * * * Some Good... LUND DOESN'T MAKE a blanket indictment of the entire program, and points to some Little Leagues that turn out good ball players- without excess stress and strain. "The important thing is that they get to play," says Lund-but he is quick to offer an alternative plan that eliminates many of his objections to the present LL system . . . and still keeps the kids playing. He models an ideal system somewhat on the pattern of the Detroit Recreation League's sandlot system. Although Little Leagues abound in the suburbs, Detroit itself has foregone these for a daytime sandlot league for the pre-teens. Calling the Detroit setup the largest-and in his opinion, the best-youth program in the nation, he notes that this league plays its games on weekdays from 9-5, with a professional supervisor in charge of the playground centers. Played during working hours, these games do away with the problem of parents' cries: "Why isn't my boy playing?" The simple solution is that parents just aren't there. Older boys are doing the umpiring . . . a supervisor who knows sports is available to give hints to the neophytes . . . and fulfilling Lund's main standard for a successful kids' program-the boys are playing ball, frequently, but without the tension and pressure that all too many youngsters are not yet able to handle. * * * * Ignore Older Boys... HE POINTS OUT that while parental sponsors of Little League play organize the just-out-of-cowboy age group, they have largely ig- nored the much more vital 15-16-year-old boys. These youths are at the make-or-break stage of their baseball careers, yet betwixt Little League and American Legion play (except occasionally for the finally- burgeoning Pony and Babe Ruth Leagues), the developing youngster is forced into premature (albeit temporary) retirement. Here is where the maturing ball player should start to learn of the pilessures of organized play, yet here is where the organizing has been little ... and late. For a sampling of Lund's views on pro play vs. staying in college and the reason high schools get good football coaching as opposed to poor baseball coaching, keep tuned in.
