w 'ednesday, May 26, 1976 FHE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Eleven TWO WOLVERINES ENTERED NCAA tennis tourney starts By BOB MILLER )ver the course of the 1976 men's tennis season, Michigan proved itself to be the power of the conference, again. But, entering the NCAA tour-. nament, the Wolverines will take on the best in the nation with an abbreviated squad. Captain Eric Friedler and Jeff Etterbeek will be the represen- tatives of the Big Ten's cham- pionship team when they go against names like Brian Teacher of UCLA, and top- seeded Peter Fleming, former Michigan standout, now with UCLA. The Bruins are NCAA de- fending champions and rate as favorites to continue to dominate the field. This year, however, the field was cut drastically, admitting 134 singles players down from 245 last year. Doubles also felt the axe, as only 70 duo's will participate, whittled down compared to 122 competitors from one year ago. The first round begins today in Corpus Christi, Texas, in the 92nd annual tournament. For Michigan, Friedler and Etterbeek are a strong team, especially in doubles. Friedler, runnerup in singles in the con- ference, owns an 18-3 record, while Etterbeek went 18-4 dur- ing the season, and took the title for second singles. In doubles, the Michigan pair was nearly unbeatable, losing only to non-conference power Alabama and winning the Big Ten doubles crown. "Our goal is to finish in the top 10, but that will be tough to do with only two players in the tournament," said Coach Brian Eisner. The Wolverines have accomplished this feat in each of the last three years, winding up sixth, third and fourth. A tournament selection com- mittee decided that the top 20 teams in the country would be allowed a full team of four players. Those teams are, UCLA, USC, SMU, Stanford, Texas, Hous- ton, Trinity, Pepperdine, Miami (Fla.), San Jose St., Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Okla- homa St., Princeton, Utah, Brigham Young, Arizona St., and Big Ten runnerup, Ohio State., The other competing schools were chosen on "a merit base from other schools," which means by records. Coach Eisner was not pleas- ed by the selection, noting that some athletic conferences are represented by as many as three full teams and that cer- tain NCAA regions are over- stocked. Eisner indicated that he will bring this matter up informally with the other coach- es at the tourney. Many of the teams were al.

NCAA a put Kentucky on probation for violations By Tie Associated Press TARPON SPRINGS, Fla - Football recruiting violations by the University of Kentucky may lead to athletic probation for the Wildcats before the year is out, the Orlando Sentinel Star reported yesterday. The newspaper quoted Ken- tacky Football Coach Fran Cur- ci as saying probation "would- n't surprise me." Sources in the National Collegiate A t h l e t i c Association and the South- eastern Conference said the Kentucky irregularities cen- tered around recruiting in- fractions of two years ago, some of them dealing with South Florida high school ath- letes, according to the news- paper. SEC athletic directors and football and basketball coaches are holding their annual spring meeting in Tarpon Springs. Kentucky Coach Fran Curci acknowledged that his program was under formal investigation by the NCAA. volving charges of point-shav- ing, drug involvement and the alleged association of star run- ning back Sonny Collins with principals in a kidnap-murdeg case. The Wildcats posted a 2-8-1 record. Curci has a 19-19-1 record in his three years at the Lexington school. NCAA probation usually pro- hibits a school from participat- ing in television and post-sea- son bowl appearances. Meanwhile, SEC athletic di- rectors went on record "ex- pressing deep concern" over how NCAA limitations on the numbers of football and basket- ball coaches would affect the coaching profession and new people coming into the field.
