respectively, in the NCAA three-
mile i n d o o r championships.
Both of them also ran well in
the two mile.
In the mile, though, the Wol-
verines were weaker. Only
Mark Foster's 4:08.2 was note-
worthy.
Two newcomers could be of
help here. If Pontiac's Steve
Elliot (4:13 and a 9:13.7 two

mile, both state of Michigan
bests) and Grosse Ile's Jack
Sinclair (4:21) can show expect-
ed improvement, the mile could
become a Michigan strongpoint
instead of a weakness.
I The field events produced va-
ried results for the Wolverines
in '74-75. Pole - vaulters Jim
Stokes and Ed Kukla were us-
ually good for 15'6", and high-
jumpers Doug Gibbs and Jeff
Swanson hit 6'10" consistently.
But the points the Wolverines
scored in these events were us-
ually offset by a dearth of suc-
cess in the shot put, where
Randy Foss's best effort was 52
feet.
The times and abilities of
many of the newcomers look
so good that one has to won-
der how Jack Harvey man-
aged such a fine recruiting
effort.
This isn't the first time, ei-
ther. In his first year as coach,
Harvey fielded 27 letterman-
17 freshmen, four sophomores,
five juniors, and one senior.
How?
"D o n Canham (Michigan's
Athletic Director) has done
amazing things around here,"
said an admiring Harvey,
"We've got a special Tartan
surface outdoor track, and a
wonderful Tartan indoor sta-

dium (the Multi-Sports Build-
ing). I'd be willing to match
facilities with anyone in the
nation.
"It's a big help in recruit-
ing when we show a kid what
he can run on here.
"The school's academic re-
putation helps, too," he add-
ed. "It's a great attraction.
And the football program brings
us some fine sprinters and
weight men - especially this
year. We have so many non-
scholarship things going for us,
that if they did away with
scholarships, we'd be one of the
toughest teams around."
Much of the credit must go
to the sheer energy and per-
sonality of Harvey and his
assistant, Ron Warhurst. The
two have injected strength
and a winning attitude into
Michigan's track program.
The Wolverines simply can-
not help but be better in 1975-
76. With the graduation of
Stan Vinson from Eastern Mich-
igan, Dave Williams becomes
the leading 600 yard man in the
nation. If Randy Foss can im-
prove, or if one of Harvey's
football players can step in and
do the job on the shot, the
Wolverines weaknesses will be
minimized.

OPEN SUNDAY

By ANDY GLAZER
Final score: Michigan 80, Re-
mainder of Big Ten, one.
That is domination. Plain,
simple, and total.
Michigan's netters met every
Big Ten school once during the
past season and just once did
an opponent manage to win as
much as one match out of nine.
With number one singles star
Victor Amaya out of action, and
everyone else playing a notch
above his usual spot, Illinois'
Webb Hayne managed to defeat

Michigan captain Jerry Karzen
in three sets, in a tiebreaker.
With the likes of seniors-to-
be Amaya, Fred DeJesus
and Eric Friedler around, the
Wolverines have had few
problems dominating the Big
ten the past few years. Wit-
ness Wisconsin head coach
Dennis Schacter:
"You know you're going to
get clobbered when you come
to Michigan," said Schacter,
"you look to win a match here,''
a set there. They've got a ma-
ture program, and the rest of
the Big Ten is just now starting
to catch up."
The Big Ten did a little more
catching up at this years Big
Ten Championships, once again
with the aid of a sub-par Ama-
ya. The 6-7 Holland, Michigan
native suffered heat prostration
in the second set of his final
round match with Ohio State's
Francisco Gonzalez, and Gon-
zalez went on to win 3-6, 7-6,
6-4.
The Wolverines captured ev-

ery title after first singles -
including the first doubles title
with Buddy Gallagher subbing
for Amaya - until third dou-
bles, when Wisconsin's Marty
Goldin and Eric Collen defeat-
ed Jim Holman and Brad Hol-
land.
The Championship's most im-
pressive effort had to be De-
Jesus' final round, a 6-1, 6-2
shellacking of Indiana's Dan
Richards.
The Big Ten, however, has
never been known as an out-
standing tennis conference.
So what of the Wolverines
NCAA Championship hopes?
(The Championships were be-
ing held at Corpus Christy,
Texas, at press time).
Last year the Wolverines fin-
ished third in the nation behind
defending champ Stanford and
USC. In their biggest test thus
far this year, the National Col-
legiate indoor Team Tennis
Championships, t h e Blue fin-
ished second - to Stanford.
There was cause for both ex-

citement and disheartenment
with the accomplishment.
"I was quite happy with our
performance at the NCITTC,"
explained Michigan coach Brian
Eisner, "we beat SMU, the na-
tion's number four team last
year and just as solid this year,
7-2, and handled an awfully
good Texas team by the same
score.
"Our only loss of the season
came there, 6-3 in the final to
Stanford. But they are just
tremendous.
"To win the national cham-
pionship will be difficult, he
continued. "Much will depend
on the draw and it will come
down to who wins the close
matches. I'd say we are in the
top three teams, along with
Stanford and UCLA."
Bruce Shoals, an Ann Ar-
bor teaching pro, agreed
with Eisner about the draw.
"I don't think anyone can
beat Stanford in a head to
head team match," said
Shoals, "but in the NCAA
