aEDNELSDAT:SEPTEMBER 20;1 Netmen 90 _TlH E MICHIGAN AILY Win 25 Straight I'l I By DAVE PRESTON As the curtain rang down on the 1950 season the dual meet victory skein of the Michigan ten- nis team stood at twenty-five. The Wolverines waded through a nine-game slate, numbering five conference - foes and four inde- pendents among their victims. The last team to inflict defeat on the. Maize and- Blue was Notre Dame midway through the 1948 season. * . * * COACH BILL MURPHY had only two experienced performers Y on hand when the squad moved outdoors late in April. With co- captains Don Mackay and Al Het- zeck as a nucleus, Murphy molded a squad which exceeded all pre- season expectations. The highpoint of the season. was the road trip which opened with a 7-2 win over a darkhorse Wisconsin contingent in Madi- son. On Saturday the scene shifted to Evanston with favored North- western furnishing the opposition. Down two matches the Wolverines surged back to edge the Wildcats by a tight 5-4 count. * * * THE FOLLOWING weekend in Ann Arbor Illinois layed an un- blemished record on the line, ap- )earing by comparative scores to be at least Michigan's equal. flashing their top form of the year the local netmen sent the Illini home on the short end of a lopsided 7-2 score. Mackay held dowtn the num- ber one singles position all sea- son, and although week in and week out he had to face the cream of the Midwest, Don more than held his own, losing only to Grant Golden of Northwest- ern and, Bob David of Notre Dame during the regular sea- son. Al Hetzeck was equally as tough at number two, and teamed with Mackay to form a topnotch doubles unit. * * * SOUTHPAW Dick Lincoln, the most improved player on the squad, and Steve. Bromberg, a sophomore with a fine future, held down the third and fourth' posi- tions. Neither Lincoln nor Brom- berg tasted defeat in any of the nine dual matches. Hockey star Lennie Brumm handled number five in consis- tent fashion, while Ross Herron and Doren Russler split the sixth spot. The remaining conference op- ponents, Ohio State and Purdue, each fell easy prey by the shut- out route, as. did the University of Detroit. Ann Arbor's Favorite Transportation the SCHWINN the RALEIGH V. I ON THE OTHER hand Michi- gan State and Notre Dame were more worthy foes. The Spartans were 7-1 vic- tims at Ferry Field, but proved more stubborn later in Lansing, finally falling 5-4, as did the Fighting Irish at South Bend. On the last three days of May in vanston the Wolverines tried to unseat Northwestern as Big Ten champions, but had to be content with a third place finish behind the Wildcats and the II- lini, both of whom they defeated during the regular season. Dick Lincoln salvaged the only glory for Murphy's charges as he captured the title in the number three division. i THE I-M POOL-This is only one of the many facilities avail- able for use by the entire student body.
