TE MCHIGANDAILY Friday, June 21, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, June 21, 1974 MARC FELDMAN' Cage THE LONG awaited tennis match of the c e n t u r y between the Daily's darlings, Chuck Bloom and I, and assist- ant Michigan basketball coaches Jim Dutcher and Bill Frieder finally came off yesterday. After strenuous weeks of shuttle diplomacy and mostly bad weath- er, Bloom (affectionately known to his friends as "Tor") and I agreed to meet the hardcourt refugees at Concordia Jun- ior College on Geddes Road for an 11 a.m. spinning of the rackets. In an upset rivaling the sinking of the Titanic, "Brick Wall" B 1 om, aptly named for his 6-6, 300 pounds of solid humanity, and I, bit the asphalt. Frieder and Dutcher, relying on sleight of hand, chicanery, tricky drop shots, and su- perior playing ability shut the Daily's finest down in straight sets. Tor and I won the first game in rather impressive fashion but it was all down- hill from there. Dutcher was the spark- plug for the cage coaches with a solid serve and excellent placements. He was able to take advantage of Bloom's lack of speed with some fine drop shots. COLUMN coaches Bloom did play a mean net however. Towering over the court, Bloom smashed one forehand with all 300 pounds of force behind it that had Dutcher scurrying for the nearest cover as he was belted in the rear end. Earlier this summer, the first annual Ann Arbor Basketball Classic was held out at Concordia and basketball returned again this week in the form of Johnny Orr's Basketball Camp. Dutcher, Fried- er, and fellow Assistant Coach "Bird" Carter ran the show for the youngsters yesterday as Orr was nowhere to be found except emblazoned on the tee- shirts of the eager young basketball players. Having a lot of energy if not pride left after the morning debacle on the tennis court and the gastronomically delightful repast of cheeseburgers and french fries, Bloom and I decided to hang around for the afternoon lecture on basketball fundamentals by "Pro- fessor" Dutcher and his guest speaker for the day, Campy Russell. tip Daily duo (WHEN BIG CAMP arrived he was be- played college basketball, the most sesged by the admiring youths and prominent having been Frank, at the barraged with questions.

Net en crushed inNCAA's Delesus and Amaya lose Special To The Daily LOS ANGELES-The hopes of the Michigan tennis team for a national title were completely snuffed out last night as its last two singles p 1 a y e r s, Victor Amaya and Freddie DeJesus, were eliminated in the quarter- final round of the National Col- legiate Athletic Association tour- nament. The last remaining Michigan participant was the d o u b 1 e s team of DeJesus and Peter Fleming, which still survives as the quarterfinals b e g i n in doubles. An unseeded player, Chico H a g e y of Stanford, shocked Amaya in the quarters, beating him in two sets decided by tie- breakers, 7-6, 7-6. Amaya is the Wolverines top player and was the number two seed in the entire field. Then, DeJesus, Michigan's number two man, was also bumped off by an unseeded player, Steve Wedderburn of Oklahoma, 4-6, 7-6, 7-5. THE DEFEATS came late in the day, after both Michigan players had looked impressive in earlier matches, with De- Jesus in fact pulling off one of the major upsets of the entire tourney. In the fifth round of the tour- nament DeJesus, unseeded in the event, knocked off the third seed, John Andrews of Southern California, in a marathon 2% hour match, 7-5, 6-7, 7-6. The unexpected win advanced DeJesus into the quarterfinal round of the tourney, and tem- porarily bouyed the spirits of the entire Michigan entourage. AMAYA HAD also won earlier to advance to the quarterfinals, as he beat Tom Kreiss of UCLA, 6-3, 6-2. It was irony that Amaya should eliminate Kreiss, since the Bruins' elder brother Bob knocked Amaya out of the ,CAA's last year. IN THE TEAM standings, changing rapidly as the scores from the late matches came in, Stanford inched ahead of South- ern California into the top po- sition. Michigan looked like the third-place team going into to- day's play, with the Bruins, Miami, and Southern Methodist right behind.
