Coach Brian Eisner's Michigan tennis team hasn't quite reached that level yet, but the Wolverines have already built a Big Ten dynasty of overwhelming porportions and seem on the verge of becoming a symbol of tennis supre- macy on the national scene. As they waited in anticipation of the NCAA championships in June, the Michigan netmen had already compiled a 14-1 dual meet record in- cluding a win over last year's NCAA runner-up USC. The Wolverines' only defeat came at the hands of UCLA, third place finisher in 1973. In Big Ten play, the Wolverines swept their nine dual matches and captured eight firsts and one second in the Big 10 turnament as a Michi- gan player or players reached the finals at all six singles and all three doubles positions. This record is awesome in and of itself, but it is particularly impres- sive when one considers that the netters have accomplished all this without the services of freshman Peter Fleming, their number 2 singles player who has not played a singles match as yet this year because of a back injury. In addition, Victor Ama- ya, Fred DeJesus, Eric Friedler, and Kevin Senich, Michigan's 1, 3, 4, and 5 players have played a considerable part in the season below form be- cause of persistent ailments. The team in led by Amaya, a junior from Holland, Michigan who placed 5th in the NCAA tournament as a freshman in '73. Amaya who is 6'5" tall is the possessor of a blistering serve and has already received many offers to turn pro. JUST behind Amaya are three play- ers possessing equal credentials. Freshman Peter Fleming received the pre-season nod for the number two spot - no small accomplishment in view of sophomore Fred DeJesus' ranking as the best junior player in the country on three separate occa- sions and Eric Friedler's Big 10 num- ber two singles championship as a freshman. Though Friedler and De- Jesus were forced to play one and often two positions above normal during the season, they each respond- ed with 16-2 records and Big 10 indi- vidual championships. The final ingredient in the Wol- verines success story is their tremen- dous depth; Captain Kevin Senich, a Big 10 champion in his sophomore and junior years plays 5th man sin- gles while unbelievably, senior Jeff Miller who was number two singles champ as a freshman has a fight to hold on to the number six slot and a place in the line-up . SENIOR Jerry Karzan, twice the Illinois state runner-up in high school was not expected to even play sin- gles this year, but when injuries forced him into service, he respond- ed with a 17-1 mark, best on the squad. Even 8th man Jim Holman was 8-0 on the season and teamed with Karzan for the number three doubles titles in the Big 10. Prospects for the nationals (at Los Angeles after press time) were large- ly dependent on Fleming's health and form. If he was able to play, the Wolverines possessed four nationally ranked players and two nationally ranked doubles teams (Amaya = Frie- dler and DeJesus - Fleming). Even if Fleming was unavailable, the Wolverines still posed, a formid- able threat but his replacement will likely suffer from a lack of top-flight national competition. STANFORD was still considered the favorite even without Wimbleton semi- finalist Alex (Sandy) Mayer but the Wolverines were among the top challengers ,in the battle for second place and had an outside chance at the team title . That's last year. This year the Wolverines lost only Senich and they have already recruited several top prep stars including New York's Bud- dy Gallagher. 'And the top four will still be around in 1976. The UCLA basketball team and the Indiana swimmers were dethroned this sea- son so it's time for a new collegiate dynasty to establish itself at the top of the roost. Michigan tennis fans may have to look no further than the varsity tennis courts to find col- lege sports' new powerhouse.

Daily Sports is looking for qualified (or willing) persons to carry on this tradition. Do you have what it takes to be a Daily Sportswriter? Most of the American population does. The only real require- ment is a working knowledge of English, although the ability to type and a knowledge of APBA baseball are skills that will come in handy. Could you hit the bars of Minneapolis with a crowd of drunk and stoned hockey players and not get busted by the police? Roger Rossiter of the Daily Sports Staff did it. Could you spend a weekend in Ames, Iowa, called by many the world's deadest town, covering the NCAA wrestling champ- ionships and live to tell about it? Clarke Cogsdill did it. Could you get the word from Campy Russell that he was not going to withdraw his name from the NBA hardship list, and sit in frustration because your paper is not publishing that day? John Kahler did it. yBut the life of a Daily Sports staffer is not all glamor, as anyone who has locked a page at 1:30 a.m. can tell you. Somebody has to produce the layouts for each night's page, ! write headlines, and translate AP copy. This is where trainees come in. As Marc Feldman, our sports editor, would tell you, trainee work is a few months off your life that will prepare you for the life of a night editor, a job that on winter sports Saturdays will take years off your life expectancy. Being a trainee entails coming into the cramped, but ef- ficient, Daily offices for one evening a week and writing head- lines, reading proof, and telling phone callers the score of that night's basketball game. In the process you learn more about the newspaper business than the Journalism Department could teach you in four years. And then there is writing. You may not be turned loose on Bo Schembechler right away, but Newt Loken and Bill Frieder are fascinating people to know. On any given day the Daily runs advances, rehashes, covers, features, and stories in cate- gories by themselves, so boredom will never set in. As boss, Marc Feldman is a firm, but just taskmaster who will answer any questions you have about the nature of Daily Photo by KEN FINK GREG MEYER, Big Ten steeplechase champion as a fresh- man, runs around the hills and dales of Ann Arbor during the all in cross-country also.
