It's hard to imagine a half-miler
dropping three seconds off his best
time in a single season. But Michigan's
Dave Furst finished off, his indoor sea-
son by shattering his personal best
(1:51.0) by running todthe fastest time
in the world for an indoor half-mile at
the Big Ten championships in Wiscon-
sin.
Furst's time of 1:48.6 gave him the
conference title and thoroughly sur-
prised the coaches. "Anytime you drop
three seconds in the half-mile," said
Assistant Track Coach Ron Warhurst
"it's a big drop. You hope to get a
second here and a second there, but
when you go from 1:51 to 1:48.6, that's
a hell of a drop."
It was a perfect setup for Furst at
the Big Ten meet. He went out with
Furst:
Wisconsin's Mike Sang in 53 seconds for
the first quarter. Coming down the
back stretch he moved up on Sang and
then pulled away towards the finish
for the victory.
ALTHOUGH FURST, a sophomore
from Niles, Michigan, had such a large
time drop it seemed like just another
race to him. "It wasn't really any
different race," said Furst. "I might
have been a little more motivated be-
cause I knew I would have great com-
petition, but I didn't treat it as a
special race."
If anyone was skeptical that Furst's
performance was a fluke, Dave remov-
ed all doubts as he blazed to a 1:48.3
in his leg of the two mile relay at the
NCAA indoor championships. That time
gave him the fastest half-mile relay
split indoors in the world this season.
"He's got a terrific amount of natural
ability," said Warhurst. "He can run

featured stars in the $11,000
Civitan Tennis Classic March'

Former Detroit L i o n Ron

the charity event. Included in!
the Classic are three afternoon
tennis clinics taught by LaverI
and Newcombe at the Liberty
Racquet Club in Ann Arbor.
Any adult purchasing a $30;
patron ticket is eligible for the1

The actual tournament will
feature a singles match be-

dreams that a tennis player
could ever make that much
money from winnings in one
year."
Despite a major back prob-
lem in 1972, which virtually lim-
ited his play to half a year,
Laver still won over $100,000
and was the first player to pull
off three straight yworld cham-
pionships.
Thirty-eight-year-old Laver's
wide assortment of shots, an-
gles, spans and speeds allows
him flexibility, and it is not
a rarity to see him drop the
first two sets of a match and
then come back to destroy his
rival.
Often considered the finest
doubles players in the game to-
day, Newcombe won over $270,-t
000 in 1976, and has captured the
Wimbledon doubles crown four
times.
In a relentless pursuit of ten-
