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 First class runn 21.7 for a 220, which is world class leg they look for s speed." several events, a One of the key's in Dave's success is hit a goldmine. his ability to combine both speed and from the 440, 880, distance training well. 1000," said War "I THINK I have a little more speed fect when you're than most half-milers because I'm able because he's sov to run pretty good quarter times on the Now that thei mile relay," said Furst.

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.
