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). Major League Standings bother me much." 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 asked me to write a letter say- ing we were not under investi- gation. "At the time, we had not been notified, we had not re- 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.
