Kupec top'M athlete;
Blue butsmen honored
C. J. Kupec, recently selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in
the NBA's college draft, was named Michigan's top senior ath-
lete for 1974-75.
The 6-8, 175 pound center from oaklawn Illinois led the Wol-
verines to a second place finish in the Big Ten behind powerful
Indiana last year. He paced the Maize and Blue scoring attack,
hitting at a 17.6 clip while he was third in Big Ten scoring at
19.1 points per game.
In other sports developments, two members of Michigan's
1975 Big Ten baseball championship team have been named to
the all Big Ten squad.
Senior first baseman Randy Hackney and Junior pitcher
Chuck Rodgers were both first team selections, while senior
captain Craig Forhan, also a pitcher, and sophomore catch-
er Ted Mahan were second and third team selections re-
spectively.
The Big Ten All-Academic team was also released and
Michigan placed four members on that roster. Hackney and
Forhan were both first team as were junior pitcher Mark Weber
and second baseman Dick Walterhouse, also a junior.
The Wolverines placed five players on the NCAA Mideast
Regional All-Tournament squad to add to this season's accolades.
Rogers, Hackney, and Mahan received tournament recognition
along with teammates Dan Damiani (centerfielder) and Bill Has-
lerig (designated hitter).

B r e n t w o o d coach
George Radosevich said he urg-
ed McQuaide to get the letter
"after I heard scuttlebutt at
several clinics that there might
be sanctions against Michigan
State.
"I HAVE NOT seen the let-
ter, but I know Regis saw it"
Said Burt Smith, "That's ab-
solutely untrue. Denny (Head
Coach Stolz) was concerned
about rumors o t h e r coaches
were spreading about us so he

ceived any communique from
the NCAA.
VILLANOVA, Pa. (P)-School-
boy world record holder Hous-
ton McTear darted to a quick
three-step dash in 9.4, beating
Steve Riddick and fellow world-
record holder Ivory Crockett
last night in the wildcat Meet
of Champions.
McTear, who equaled Cro-
ckett's 9.0 mark at a high
school meet e a r l i e r this
month, jumped to two false
starts, and said after the race
that he slipped on his blocks
when he finally got off.
Villanova's Eamonn Coughlan
of Ireland led for three-quar-
ters of the distance in winning
the mile in 4:01.2 ahead of for-
mer Villanova star Marty Li-
quori, who turned in a 4:02.5
with a strong kick in the last 60
yards. Liquori ran for the New
York Athletic Club,
Riddick, who like Crockett
was running for the Phila-
delphia Pioneers, won second
place in the 100 even though
both he and Crockett finished
in 9.5.
The mini-meet, no trials and
simultaneous running events,
was the first of its kind in the
East.
