UUSVAX, :SEYTE] MBR PLACED THIRD LAST SPRING: Golfers Surprise Conference Tennis Team Remains On Top <" Y ! l 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. By TOM ROWLAND 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.

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.
