PLACED THIRD LAST SPRING:
Golfers Surprise Conference
Tennis Team Remains On Top
<"

By BOB ZWINCK
Revenge in any Big Ten sport
is a virtue.
And last spring a virtuous squad
of Michigan golfers romped home
to a healthy third-place finish in
the Big Ten golf meet at Cham-
paign, Ill., a mere 15 strokes off
victorious Indiana's pace and 10
strokes behind highly - regarded
Purdue.
Why was third so great? Be-
cause their regular-season record
stood at five wins and five losses,
and projecting the best 18-hole
scores of the season over the 72-
holes or the Conference meet fig-
ured to leave the Wolverines as
much as 50 strokes off the win-
ners' pace.
Early Fourth Place
Fortunately for Coach Katzen-
meyer and his 'M' squad, forecast-
ing didn't tell the whole story. Af-
ter the first two rounds Michigan
was in fourth place, and was al-
ready being called lucky by many
of their opponents. Yet they came
on even stronger the secondday
to move up a notch and grab third
place.
Although last spring's results
were welcome in their own right,
since a successful season's finish
is always sought after, a flashback
to the 1961 season gives an even.
sweeter flavor to this success.
In 1982 the Michigan linksmen
cavorted through an undefeated
dual-meet season, whipping six
different Big Ten teams in the
process, one of them twice, for a
7-0 record. But ill winds blew at
the Conference meet, and Katzen-
meyer's boys fell to a disgusting
seventh-place finish.
Revenge Motive
Many of the same shooters re-
turned last spring, and one can
be sure that the ignominious 1961
meet was in their minds when
they achieved that surprise third-
place finish.
Returning regulars last spring
included Captain Bill Newcomb,
Chuck Newton, who is captain-
elect for this coming year, and
Tom Ahern. Others on the squad
were Tom Pendlebury, Gary Mouw
and Dave Cameron.
Graduation since has tapped
Newcomb, Pendlebury and Ahern.
This leaves regulars Newton, Cam-
eron and Mouw as the nucleous
for next year.
Mouw Makes NCAA
Mouw was the only Michigan
golfer to meet any success in the
NCAA championship meet this
spring. The six regulars journeyed
to the tournament, and shot the
first 36-holes which serve as a
qualifying round for the match-
play finals.
Mouw qualified for match-play,
but was eliminated in the first
round, thus failing to score any
points for Michigan in the na-
tional meet.
To supplement these returnees
are three freshmen who have ex-
cellent chances to capture the only
varsity positions. They are Jeff
Belfiore, Bill Hallock and Ray
Levandowski.
The Michigan golf schedule for
next spring has not been drawn
up yet, but as usual the match-
play opponents will be primarily
other Big Ten squads.
The, team will, as usual, take
a spring trip to the south. They
generally spend their spring va-
cation somewhere where they can
enjoy warm and sunny weather
where the golf courses are in top
shape, and also where there is
collegiate competition so that they
can get in some practice meets.
The regular season matches are
generally dual, triangular or quad-
rangular affairs, in which each of
the squads is pitted against each
other squad.

Michigan's tennis crew is in a
pleasant rut.
When the Wolverine racketmen
copped the conference crown last
spring at Minnesota, it was the
fourth straight year that Michi-
gan has taken top honors and the
seventh conference title in the
past eight years.
Five individual medals went to
the defending champs while they
stretched their winning margin
over Northwestern to ten points.
The Wildcats were supposed to
give Coach Bill Murphy's netmen
a good run for the conference ti-
tle, but Michigan's racketeers --
powerful and deep-didn't even
give the challengers a close
glimpse at the crown.
Perfect Season
Before the conference action be-
gan at Minneapolis the Wolver-
ines handily eased their way to
y
an 8-0 mark in regular scheduled
play, including five conference
wins.
After two 9-0 whitewashes over
Ohio Wesleyan and Detroit, Coach
Murphy's men encountered their
roughest dual meet of the year
in the Big Ten opener, tripping
Purdue, 6-3. The three matches
that the Boilermakers took from
Michigan was the highest score
that any net squad could muster
against the Wolverines. It's inter-
esting to note that Purdue finish-
ed one step from the cellar in the
Big Ten meet.
Illinois fell to the Wolverines,
8-1, and Indiana, touted as set to
give Michigan its toughest test of
the early season, went back to
Bloomington on the lower half of
a 9-0 score.

MSU's upstate Spartans couldn't
do too much better. State's net-

MANY NON-VARSITY SPORTS OFFERED ON CAMPUS:
Students Join Rugby Team, Rifle, Fencing, Skiing, Sailing Clubs
V*

If you are not a letterman or
a potential letterman in football,
basketball, baseball, or one of the
other Michigan varsity sports, per-
haps the many non-varsity ath-
letic activities offered on the 'M'
campus will have some appeal for
you.
There are several sports that
fall in this non-varsity category.
Among these are a rugby club,
rifle and pistol teams, a fencing
squad,, a ski club, and a sailing
club.
Rugby Team
Rugby is very much like foot-
ball - and it gets pretty rough at
times, too. It's origin is as a sport
of English gentlemen, so it is real-
ly the English version of football,
only it is much older than our
American football. It also includes
elements of soccer. ,
There are fifteen men on a side,
and they must endure the entire
forty minutes of the competition.
No substitutions are allowed; no
time outs are allowed; no padding
is allowed; no sissies play rugby.
The game is played on a regula-
tion football field, and the ball
is kept in continuous play through-
out each half. The ball - an over-
grown football - is tossed among
the opposing linemen to start the
game. They then try to get the
ball to their backfield teammates,
who try to move the ball toward
the opponents' goal and score -
which happens once in a while.
Downfield blocking is not al-
lowed, as in soccer, which helps
to prevent high scoring games.
Rugby at Michigan is played both
in the fall and in the spring.
Games are held at Wines Field at
ters, who are still looking for their
first victory over Michigan under
Coach Stan Drobac's five-year
tenure as head mentor, could only
salvage two matches, losing 7-2.
The Wolverines crushed Notre
Dame, 8-1, and followed with an
identical-score victory over Wis-
consin's Badgers the day before
the conference meet.
Leading the conference champs
for the past two years and slated
for number one singles action
again this spring is Hamtramck
senior Ray Senkowski. The Wol-
verine net star, who has collected
more than two hundred trophies
and medals, went through last
season without dropping a match
until downed by Northwestern's
Marty Riessen in the conference
finals.
Senkowski Dethroned
Senkowski was Big Ten number
one singles champ as a sophomore
and his challenge match with
Ribssen, a sophomore last spring,
was the highest attraction of the
meet. Riessen dethroned Senkow-
ski, 6-1, 6-4.
Riessen, who has played on the
U.S. Davis Cup team and ranked
17th in national singles, will be a
prime target for Senkowski next
year.
A short, peppy Harry Fauquier,
number two courtman for Michi-
gan will be captaining the Wol-
verines this spring as they go
after their fifth straight crown.
Canadian-homed Fauquier was
undefeated as a sophomore last
spring, and climaxed his first year
of competition with a Big Ten sec-
ond singles title.
Senkowski-Fauquier Nipped
Senkowski and Fauquier team-
ed up to form the Wolverines'
f i r s t double duo. Undefeated
throughout the season, the pair
was finally defeated in the final
match of the conference tourney,
4-6, 15-13, 11-9. The winners?
Nemesis Riessen and partner Jim
Ericson.
The number-three singles slot
was filled by senior Gerry Dubie,
and filled it was in slam-bang
fashion. Dubie didn't really need
to break a good sweat all season
as he coasted his way to the third
singles conference title. He defeat-
3:30 p.m. on Saturdays, and ad-
mission is free.
Rifle Club
For those who don't want such
a rugged sport, there are many
others to try. The rifle club mem-
bers include both rifle and pistol
shooters. Training in the correct
and safe use of these firearms is
an important objective of club
members.
There is also plenty of compe-'
tion. A yearly all-campus rifle
meet is held at the ROTC rifle
range in May. Members also sup-
port a rifle team that competes
against other Big Ten squads and,
often against non-Conference foes.'
The Michigan unit has met suc-
cess often in the Big Ten rifle
championships.
At Camp Perry, Ohio, there is
an annual high-power .30 caliber
rifle meet sponsored by the rifle
club. Other rifles used are .22 cali-
ber, while the pistols include .22,
.30, and .45 calibers.
A relatively new organization on
the Michigan campus is the fenc-
ing club. The membership is small,
but they are hopeful that within
a few years fencing can become a
varsity sport as it is on many col-
lege campuses.
One of their main obpjectives
at this time is to get more people
familiar with the sport. They feel
that student interest must grow
substantially before intercollegi-
ate competition is feasible. Thus
anyone interested is invited to at-
tend club meeting and become
familiar with fencing.
Ski Club
For those beautiful snowy days
throughout M i c h i g a n's winter,
weekend ski trips are available to
all members of the ULLR Ski
Club. For the real enthusiasts,
Christmas and spring vacations
are the signal for skiing parties at
Aspen, Colorado, and Mt. Trem-
bant, Quebec.
Movies on skiing instruction,
demonstrations of the latest in
rates on ski merchandise are all
available to members for three
dollars per year. The ski club
provides both fun and help for
the interested skier.
Sailing Club
For warmer weather there is
the sailing club. Its membership
is well over 100, including both
novice and experienced sailors.
About 20 miles from Ann Arbor,
at Base Lake, is the club head-
quarters which include a boat-
house of eight Jet 14 sailboats.
Weekly meetings on campus
provide instruction and discussion
of all aspects of the sport. During
the year the racing team competes
in some ten Eastern and Midwest-
ern regattas. Michigan's team has
been one of the most successful
during recent years, with many
individual members of the club
capturing regional and national
titles.
This wide variety of non-varsity
sports provide fun and relaxation
for many Michigan students -
and they are open to all who have
an interest in them.
ed MSU's Tom Jamieson there
with a healthy 6-2, 6-2 win.
Captain Jim Tenney took the
fourth singles Big Ten medal to
cap off an undefeated spring, de-
feating Northwestern's C h u c k
Lockhart, 6-4, 6-2. And it was
Tenney who paired up with Du-
bie to take the second doubles ti-
tle for the Wolverines and clinch
the team title for Michigan.
Big Ten Crown
The number two doubles team
lost only once last year-to Notre
Dame-before taking the Big Ten
crown with a 6-1, 6-3 win over a
pair of MSU sophomores, Tom
Wierman and Dick Colby.
Tom Beach was the only Mich-
igan netman to fail to reach the
finals in the conference meet.
Beach, who graduated last spring,
was defeated in the first round of
fifth singles but came back to win
in the consolation rounds.
The big Michigan surprise at
Minneapolis last spring was soph-
omore Ron Linclau, who really
came into his own in the Big Ten
meet, being nipped in the finals
of sixth singles, 9-7, 7-5. Linclau
accumulated a 5-3 season record
and then pulled some upsets in
the conference tourney to jump
into the finals on some top play.,
But Linclau didn't leave Minne-
apolis without any top honors. He
and Beach took the third doubles
crown with a 6-4, 6-1 win over
NW's Jim Kohl-Lockhart duo.
And This Year .. .
This spring the center of the
Michigan line-up will be gone.
Third, fourth, and fifth singles
slots will be vacant as Dubie, Ten-
ney, and Beach have graduated.
But with the nucleus of veter-
ans returning, plus a couple of
promising freshmen, the defend-
ing champs will still be high in
the running for Big Ten honors
this spring.
George Russell, Grosse Pointe
sophomore, and Hal Lowe, Illinois
Men's Tournament Champ, will
probably figure in Coach Murphy's
plans.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Big
Ten will be giving the Wolverines,
plenty of competition for the con-
ference crown. Northwestern will
still have Riessen and Ericson,
along. with Carver Blanchard, who
took the fifth singles Big Ten
crown last spring.
