sIB THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1961 . . 4ichigan Teams Make Bids for Conference Titles raceknen Qualify Twelve n Big Ten Outdoor Meet lTf Linksters 15 Behind AtIBig Ten ' Netters Enter Finals in Five Singles, Three Doubles By DAVE GOOD Special To The Daily IOWA CITY-Qualifying twelve men for the finals in six events was good enough to put Michigan in the drivers seat here yesterday in its bid for its first Big Ten outdoor track title since 1956. Indiana and Northwestern have nine qualifiers each, Iowa seven, and nobody else more than three. But everything is not coming up roses for the indoor champs. They've been shut out in the only two finals held so far, the broad jump and discus throw, and quali- fied nobody for today's 440-yd. dash final. Illinois Leads After these two events Illinois leads with nine points, Ohio State has eight, Iowa and Michigan State four each, Purdue and Indi- ana two each, and Minnesota one. The broad jump, won by Illinois' Deryck Taylor, was a big disap- pointment for the three contenders everybody expected to fight it our for the title. Illinois' Paul Foreman, who won the indoor crowd, was hobbled by a. leg injury and managed only a third. Michigan's Les Bird, second indoors, was through almost before he started. "I hurt my leg on the first jump and he (Dick Thelwell) hurt his on the second," explained Bird. Field Changed' The Ann Arbor Rugby Club will play the University of St. Louis at 2 p.m. at the TappenI Jr.. High field at the corner ofI Washtenaw and Stadium today instead of at Wines field as originally scheduled. Neither they nor Doug Niles could make the finals for the Wolver- ines.e Real Drama But the real drama came when Michigan State's Sonny Akapata, who had been leading at 24'5%/", passed up his next to last jump and then saw Taylor take the lead away with a great 24'11%" effort on his last jump. Akapata couldn't improve his performance and had to settle for a second. Michigan dind't even enter any- one in the discus throw. Ohio State picked up three more points in that event than the five they got during the whole indoor meet. Larry Schmalenberger won his third straight discus title for the Buckeyes with a throw of 163'3%". Iowa's Cloyd Webb was second at 161'11/2" and Ohio State's George Mirka was third. Set Stage Indiana's Ed Miles and Michi- gan's Tom Robinson set the stage for today's showdown in the 100- yd. dash as each won his heat in :09.8. Miles handed the Bahama Bullet his first conference loss by beating him in the 60-yd. dash indoors, but had help from what coach Don Canham called an unequal start. "The group went off in waves," he said. John Gregg and Dick Cephas each finished second in his heat for the Wolverines, with Gregg challenging Miles in their heat. In the 220-yd. dash, Robinson timed :21.4 around the turn to win his heat, and Gregg his :21.8 to beat Miles, who qualified back in fourth place. Both won easily, Gregg by four yards and Robinson by seven. See-Saw The first heat of the 880-yd. run was a see-saw battle. After the first lap Charlie Acquino led the pack and Ergas Leps was dead last. Acquino was knocked all the way back to fourth on the straight away, but never quit. As Leps kicked past everybody on the turn to win easily in 1:51.4, Acquino followed suit 'and nearly caught Iowa's Ralph Trimble for second. Dave Martin sprinted into the lead on the final turn in the second heat, but let Gary Fischer pass him on the stretch and coasted in second. Dave Odegard of Minnesota won his 220-yd. low hurdle heat around the turn in :23.9 and Cephas closed fast to win the second heat in :24.5. Michigan's Charlie Peltz had been leading but missed his step near the end and qualified fourth.' Kicked Hurdle Michigan's Bennie McRae kicked down his first hurdle in the 120- yd. highs but finished flawlessly to win in a good :14.3. Canham didn't enter him in the lows be- cause McRae hurt his back last year in that race around the turn. In the 660-yd. run Frank Geist moved past one man on the far straightaway, passed another on the turn and almost caught Illi- nois' Jim Hammond. Northwestern's Ed West clocked a record 1:20.6 in the new event, but Indiana's Gene Graham low- ered it to 1:20.3 in the second heat. --Daily-David Giltrow STANDOUTS UNDER PRESSURE-Tom Robinson breaks the tape for another win for Michigan in the sprints during the regular season. His winning form led Michigan qualifiers in the Big Ten meet yesterday. Dick Youngberg blasts another to top Wolverine linksters by holding on to third place at the end of the first day's action at the conference golf meet. WIDEN BIG TEN LEAD: Freehan its Two Homers,, Drives in Five t. M' Wins, 7-5 MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP: Cleveland Whips Yanks; Tigers Lead by Five (Continued from Page 1) homerun, again clearing the left center field barrier. And in the ninth with the bases full and Michigan trailing 5-4, the big{ sophomore belted another close- line single to left which scored Ed Hood and Joe Jones to put the Wolverines in front to stay. Only Out The only time Purdue could get Freehan out was in the fifth when he flyed to center. Yesterday Michigan staged out a 3-0 lead after two and a half innings on Freehan's two run homer in the first and a single tally in the third. But a fired up Purdue ball club came storming back in the bottom of the third to score three runs on three hits. In the sixth, Purdue went ahead 5-3 on back to back doubles by Sczurek and pitcher Charles Holle, a ground out, and Haggerty's sac- rifice fly. Freehan closed the gap to one run with his leadoff homer in the eighth, but it looked like Mich- igan was through when Dyck Honig lifted a fly to Lehr in left to open the ninth. But Ed Hood, pinch hitting for relief pitcher John Kerr, bounced one into the hole between short and third and beat Allen's throw for an infield single.

After Holle threw one ball to Newman, Boilermaker Coach Joe Sexson replaced the tiring fastballer with Niel Zeich. Newman worked the rigth and- ed reliever to a full count and then walked to load the bases and set up Freehan's game winning single. Dick DeLamielleure provided an insurance run with a sunfield double, but as it turned out, it wasn't needed. As far as Michigan Coach Don Lund is concerned; he admits he is through trying to play them two at a time. He changed his pitching rotation yesterday for the first time all season, and it almost cost him the game. Changed Rotation Lund went to bed Thursday night fully intending to pi+ch ace right- hander Mike Joyce on Friday as he had done successfully all year. But in the morning he changed his mind and dec'.ded to save Joyce for the first game of today's doubleheader against Illinois. In- stead, he nominated lefthander Marcereau to pitch against the' (supposedly) weaker Purdue squad. But Marcereau uRt didn't have it. Before he was lifceti for a pinch hitter in the top of the fourth, the senior southpaw had been touched for three runs on five hits. Dennis McGinn -followed Mar- cereau to the mound and pitched the middle three inuings yielding three runs on four Kist. Kerr Winner John Kerr, who shutout the Boilermakers during his two in- ning stint in the seventh and eighth was the winner. And as it turned out, Lund had to use Joyce yesterday anyway. The big sophomore, preserved Kerr's victory by bLinking Purdue in the ninth. The upshot of all these shenani- gans will be that Fritz Fisher will hurl the first game of the Illinois twinbill today, with Joyce coming back to pitch the seven inning nightcap.

Michigan, with a 774 total, was fourth, following defending cham- pion Purdue with 771. Minnesota with 777 was fifth, followed by Iowa with 778 and Indiana with 779. Northwestern, Wisconsin and Illinois were all well below the pace. Singlehandedly Nicklaus, with a 68-70-138, al- most singlehandedly put the Buck- eyes into contention. On the first nine of the morning round, the Ohio State superstar went out with a two-under-par 33, and came back with a one-under-par 35 for a 68, which was only three strokes away from the course rec- ord of 65 set by Indiana's gradu- ated Ron Royer. It broke the Big Ten competitive record of 69 held by Roger and Forest Jones. With his four under par score, Nicklaus, in his quest to become indivdual m e d a l i s t, is six strokes ahead of his nearest rival, Jack Rule, Jr. of Iowa. Michigan's Dick Youngberg, with a 73-74- 147, is third in the individual race. Depend on Depth Michigan State, with five play- ers under 155, depended on depth rather than on one very low scor- er. Leading the Spartans was Bud- dy Badger with a 76-74-150, fol- lowed by Gene Hunt and Gary Barrett, both with 151 totals. C. A. Smith, third in the conference last year, scored a 153, while Tad Schmidt ended up with a 154. The Wolverines got off to a strong start in the morning, and after the first round Michigan slimly led the field. With the ex- ception of captain Joe Brisson's 80, all of the Wolverines were be- low the eighty mark, and after the first round, tallying the five low men, which is done in team scoring for the meet, Michigan had a 76 stroke per man average. Low Man Youngberg, with his two-over- par 73, was low man, followed by Mike Goode and Bill Newcomb with 76's. Chuck Newton scored a 77 and Tom Ahern chalked up a 78. However, in the second round the bottom fell out of the Michi- gan game. Youngberg shot a 39 for the first nine, Brisson a 41, New- comb a 41. and Goode a 39. Only Ahern with a 37 prevented a solid sweep of catastrophe. Michigan golf coach Bert Kat- Szenmeyerhoped for a recovery, but only Youngberg and Newton came through. Goode was in the eighties for the first time this year; Brisson shot his second con- secutive 80; Ahern went bad or the second nine for an 80; and Newcomb shot a disastrous 82. 1 The small Wolverine lead was wiped out and they found them- selves 15 strokes off the pace.

Michigan qualified for five sin- gles finals and all three doubles finals. MSU rallied to qualify four men in the singles finals and two doubles teams. The Spartans and Wolverines clash head on in five of the nine final matches today. The pressure is on MSU, but it will have a home court and home crowd advantage when the action begins this after- noon. Must Play Well To win, Michigan must play well against their Spartan opponents in the finals. A loss would be three points added for Michigan State plus three more points which Michigan could not get. Indiana is a distant third with 21 points followed by Illinois with 20 and fading Northwestern with 191/2. The rest in order are Min- nesota 72/2, Purdue 6, Ohio State 5%, Wisconsin 3, and under- manned Iowa 1. Only Jim Tenny at number two singles failed to gain a final berth for Michigan. Ray Senkowski (number one), Bruce MacDonald (number four), Bill Vogt (number five), and Scott Maentz (number six) all advanced as expected. Wayne Peacock won a decisive marathon match over Stuart Co- hen of Indiana, 8-10, 6-1, 6-2 to gain the right to oppose Roger Plagenhoef of Michigan State in the number three finals. Plag'enhoef upset Northwestern's Ken Paulson who had been shift- ed down from number two in a last minute maneuver by Wildcat coach Clare Reissen. Earlier Peacock had easily dis- posed of Jerry Enjer of Minnesota 6-1, 6-4. In the most exciting match of the day, Michigan's Jim Tenny lost the number two semi-finals to an inspired Dick Hall of Michigan State 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. Senkowski warmed up with the sunny weather to batter Dan Mesch of Illinois 6-2, 6-2 and Skip Gage of Northwestern 6-2, 6-1. Ann Arbor's Only ESPRESSO HOUSE CAFE PROMETHEAN 508 East Williams featuring entertainment and food In the finals he meets Don Thorne of Indiana. Thorne ousted 1960 runner-up Brian Eisner of MSU with surprising ease 6-0, 6-2. Tenny got by Purdue's Ross Helfp in the morning 6-3, 6-2 and then ran smack into the lanky Hall who spends his winters start- ing at forward for Fordy Ander- son. Tenny won the first set and almost had the high strung Hall on the ropes with his methodical ground game. Decisive Rushes But the difference was Hall's decisive rushes to the net and unstoppable overhead smashes. Tenny and Hall played through four deuces in the last game be- f ore Hall ended the match with an ace. MacDonald had no trouble with Dick Tease of Wisconsin in the semis, winning 6-1, 6-2. He meets Jack Damson of MSU in the finals. Prep Meet The state high school class B track finals will take place to- day at 1:30 p.m. at Ferry Field. Damson eliminated highly regard- ed Jim Erickson of Northwestern in the quarterfinals. Vogt took Wisconsin's Zince Rideout in the morning 6-2, 7.5 and brushed by Frank Chambers of Illinois 6-2, 6-0. He also meets a Spartan, Ron Henry in a match for top honors at that position. Henry beat Denny Lortz of In- diana earlier in the day. Number Six Maentz must get by Bob Ewald of Indiana to win the number six title. The hulking football end beat Roger Mitchell of Ohio State 6-3, 6-3 and Steve Heller of Illinois, 6- 3, 6-4 to gain'his final berth. Michigan waltzed into the three doubles finals without any real difficulty. A key win was Maentz and Tenny's 6-0, 6-1 number two semi-final win over Tlagenhcfl and Damson of MSU. Maentz and Tenny play Northwestern'a Jim Kohl and Erickson. Senkowski and Peacock at num- ber one and MacDonald and Vogt at number three meet Michigan State combinations in the other finals.

Cleveland, after losing 11 in a row to New York since last July, remained in a tie with Minnesota for third, just .004 percentage points behind the Yankees and also five games back of Detroit. The Twins made it by beating Kansas City 11-1, ending the A's winning streak at four. In the National League, the Losl Angeles Dodgers led the first place Giants 3-2 in the sixth inning at San Francisco. Cincy Wins Cincinnati moved into second place in the NL by beating Mil- waukee 3-2 while Philadelphia spilled Pittsburgh 4-1. The Chi- cago Cubs defeated St. Louis 1-0 behind Glen Hobbie's seven-hit pitching in the .lone day game. In the other American League games Baltimore reclaimed fifth place from Kansas City by beating' Washington 4-2, ending the Sen- ators' winning streak at five. And at Los Angeles, the Angels defeated, Chicago's White Sox 4-3 in the first game of a twi-night pair on Gene Leek's tie-breaking home run in the sixth. Four Straight Hits The Indians, trailing 7-4 after the Yankees had unloaded home runs by Roger Maris, Yogi Berra and Hector Lopez, came from be- hind with four consecutive hits at the start of the eighth. Chuck Es- segian's two-run single tied it, and the winning run then was forced across when Jim Coates, fourth New York pitcher, hit Woody Held with a pitch with the bases load- ed. Dan Dobbek hit two home runs, one a grand slam in a decisive, six-run third inning. r to remove Indiana from athletic probation and then turning right around with a reprimand an( warning to Hoosier coach Jim Counsilman for using an ineligible swimmer in the Big Ten cham- pionships. Indiana will be restored to full membership in good standing in the Big Ten July 30, one year after it was put on probation for foot- ball recruiting irregularities. The school is still serving a four year NCAA probation. In the other chief developments for Michigan, the directors ac- cepted the swimming coaches' recommendation to allow teams to enter no more than eighteen swimmers in the Conference cham- pionships. Two pieces of good news for the Wolverines are the dropping of* the 115 and 191-1b weight classes in varsity wrestling and granting* of an extra year of football eligi- bility to end Bob Brown. The directors agreed to the wrestling coaches' suggestion to drop the two weights after a one year trial because, explained com- missioner elect Bill Reed, "the feeling was that these are not popular events -'you just can't find enough kids at those weights." Brown, a junior from Kalama- zoo, was involved in a water skiing accident which :kept him from playing football in 1959. He will not, however, get an extra semes- ter of basketball eligibility. Other actions taken were to pre- vent freshmen entering sch3oo: without the 1.7 predictable grade point from participating in fresh- man sports and to require those who are getting credit for such "activity courses" as health and physical education to take a, least 11 hours of "primarily academio' courses. The swimming coaches proposed for action to be taken later, that swimmers be allowed to partic- pate for clubs or summer teams only in their own AAU districts. The track coaches tabled a sug- gested revision of the indoor schedule to start and end a month later. And the baseball coaches their proposal to conduct a sum- mer conference season referred for further study. x-San Francisco Cincinnati x-Los Angeles Pittsburgh Milwaukee St. Louis Chicago Philadelphia w 20 18 19 16 13 11 11 9 L 9 12 14 12, 14 16 19 21 Pct. .690 .600 .576 .571 .481 .407 .367 .300 GB 21b 3 3/ .6 8 92 111 I 1r !' x-Playing night game.
