Netters No. 1; track second
M' tennis team
annihilates foes
From wire servirr lt-por5
For the seventh strailht year, the Big Ten
tennis meet proved to be the Michigan In-
vitational, as the WotVerine Net Machine
coasted to an easy conference championship
and came within one match of shutting out
the opposition.
As it was, the victorv by Web Mayne of
Illinois over Kevin S-nich in the Number
Four singles match was the only blot on an
otherwise perfect Wolterine record. Michigan
picked up 158 points en route to the title.
Indiana, the closest opponent, could only
manage 89.
Victor Amaya successfully defended the
Number One singles crown he won as a fresh-
person, downing Doug Sullivan of Indiana in
straight sets. Eric Friedler, who won Number
Two singles last year, won Number Three this
year, as Wisconsin's Mike Wilson provided the
opposition. Fred deJestts, out last year with
injury problems, took over from Friedler as
Number Two champion.

Meyer, Rowe,
Adams winners
By MARC FELDMAN
Nobody likes to come in second place. Just
ask the San Francisco Giants of the Middle
Sixties how wonderftl it was to finish second
best in the National League every year. But
don't ask the Michigan Track team-they
think it's great.
The Wolverine cindermen, picked to finish
somewhere in the middle of the pack in the
Big Ten Track Meet last weekend at Ferry
Field, delighted the home fans by edging out
MSU and Wisconsin for second.
INDIANA, OF COURSE, ran away with first
place honors with 150 points, 76 more than
Michigan. The Hoosiers had individual stars
like six-miler Pat Mandera and high jumper
Dennis Adama, but it was the endless pro-
cession of seconds, thirds, and fourths in all
but three events that enabled Indiana to amass
their awesome score.
But everybody knew Indiana had the title
in the bag once they arrived safely from
Bloomington so the real excitement was
Michigan's performance, especially freshman
Greg Meyer's picture book finish in the 3000-
meter steeplechase.
The steeplechase is always an exciting race
because of the watertraps and 35 hurdles that
seem to get higher and higher as the nearly
two mile race drones on. Minnesota's Steve
Holl, leading the pack for most of the way,
tripped on the last hurdle and Meyer revved
up the afterburners to pass Holl and three
other competitors to win the race in 8:57.1,
a Ferry Field record.
WITH THE CROWD wailing with delight,
retiring Coach Dixon Farmer threatened Ivory
Crockett's record in the 100, dashing over to
greet his champion, who was grinning from
ear to ear.
three-mile run. Unfortunately, Keith's lead did not last long,,
as he finished seventh in that event. But he and his team-
mates did well enough for a second place finish, a suitable
parting gift for their soon-to-be ex-coach, Dixon Farmer.

MILWAUKEE - Dave May's
two-run double in the eighth in-
ning powered the Milwaukee
Brewers to a 6-4 victory over

tentionally w a l k e d and Tim
Johnson singled to load the
bases.
May then delivered a two-run
double just inside the right field
line off Tiger reliever John
Hiller, 5-3. Detroit first base-
man Norm Cash threw down
his glove in disgust at the hit,
believing it was a foul ball, and
was ejected from the game.
The Brewers tied the score at
4-4 with two runs in the seventh,
one on an infield error and the
other on Dtn Money's sicrifice
fly,
Al Kaline's sacrifice. fl and
Willie Horton's RBI single in a
three-run fifth had given the
Tigers a 4-2 lead.

Three innings later, Mike
Schmidt looped a double down

four-hit pitching and Billy Wil-
liams' two-run single in the
sixth inning enabled the Chi-
cago Cubs to snap a five-game
losing streak by defeating the
New York Mets 2-1.
Hooton, 2-3, was aided by left-
fielder J e r r y Morales, who
threw a runner out at the plate
in the fifth inning.
Don Kessinger opened the
sixth by beating out a hopper
over the mound and Matt Alex-
ander laid down a sacrifice
bunt.
Catcher Jerry Grote fielded
the ball but his underhand flip

the next pitch into center field,
scoring both runners.
