THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIVE U I OUTDOOR TRACKRABBIT: Mead's Jumps Not Limited to Basketball * * * e By DAVE LIVINGSTON Milt Mead is one athlete who literally "leaped" into track fame. And it took the Wolverine soph- omore only one jump to do it. When he soared six feet, six and eleven-sixteenths inches to win the high jump in the Knights of Columbus Games at Cleveland last March, Mead also thrust himself right into the track limelight. * * * ALTHOUGH it was .but the sec- ond varsity cinder meet of his career, the previously unheralded jumper set a new meet record as he won out over a star-studded field. Included among those who had to look up to the newcomer was Ron Mitchell, the Illinois ace who had shortly before chalked up a conference mark of six feet, seven and one-fourth inches in the Big Ten indoor championships. Before the Cleveland meet Mead's talents had been confined largely to the cage floor, where last winter the six-foot, seven- ' inch center "poured 238 points through the hoops. His 18.7 points per game average was second- highest on Ernie McCoy's Wolver- ine varsity. s* * AFTER THE basketball season the first venture into the high' jump pits for the versatile Mead' was the Western Conference meet where, with little practice behind him, he placed fourth behind Mit- chell's record-setting effort. Since the conference meet Mead has met Mitchell twice and has whipped him both times- once, of course, at the Knights of Columbus meet, and also in the Ohio Relays at Columbus, was broad jump champ once, and was named all-state cage center his senior year. His state high jump record still stands. This summer the sociology ma- jor, who plans to study for the Methodist ministry at Garrett Bib- lical Institute after graduating from Michigan, is going to try for the American Olympic team. * * * IN THE FIRST part of June, Mead, along with several other Wolverine cindermen, will enter the NCAA and AAU meets at Berkley and Long Beach, respec- tively. If he qualifies in these meets Mead will enter the Olympic Trials at Los Angeles where, from the way he's been going, he should put in a strong bid for one of the three high jump berths on the American team. The likable Mead, who was re- cently elected to the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Ath- letics, considers winning in the Knights of Columbusmeet his biggest moment in sports. "But of course," he adds, "it's always a thrill watching the other guys miss a height after you've made it." SAK Wins, 14-1 Over AlhaSis Theta Xi, AEPi, Phi Kappa Sigma Take High-Scoring Playoff Games * * * Hard hitting and fine pitching were evident yesterday as the in- tramural softball playoffs contin- ued beneath cloudy skies. In the second place playoffs two fraternities advanced to the quar- ter finals with decisive wins. Sigma Alpha Epsilon trounced Alpha Sig- ma Phi handily by a 14-1 score. Bud Engle pitchedna masterful two hit ball game and had little trouble in gaining the win. 'The SAE attack was led by a long home run off the bat of Dale Ray. IN THE OTHER second place playoff contest, Theta Xi advanc- ed a notch by easily beating Kap- pa Nu, 16-0. The highlight of the game was the pitching of Theta Xi's Dale Bock. Bock had a no- hitter going into the last inning but weakened and yielded two hits. In the fourth place playoffs of the social fraternities, two other teams advanced. Alpha Epsilon Pi handily beat WISNIEWSKI MAKES HIT: Young Hurler Key to Diamond Success MILT MEAD .. lanky leaper * * where the Wolverine captured first place in his event. Another big moment for the lanky Mead came during Michi- gan's spring trip. In the Southern Relays at Birmingham he bested the NCAA and AAU champ, J. "Poppa" Hall, from the Univer- sity of Florida, with a leap of six feet, six and one-fourth inches. * * * THE HOLDER of the Maize and Blue freshman record, Mead gives a lot of credit for his success to coach Don Canham, who himself owns the all-time Michigan high jump mark of six feet, ten and one-fourth inches. In high school Mead was lit- tle less than a sensation both at track and on the hardwood. The Bay City Central athlete won the state high jump title three times, Delta Sigma Phi, 18-5. Marsh Silverman was the winning pitch- er and was given fine support at the plate by his teammates. Two home runs sparked the AEPi at- tack, one by Warren Robbins and the other by Larry Gray. These two hits accounted for seven of the victor's runs as Robinson's was a grand slam homer and Gray's came with two men on base. * * * IN THE SECOND fourth place playoff game, Phi Kappa Sigma edged Theta Chi, 18-12 in a free scoring contest. The winners were led on the mound by Bob Hurley who gained the win and at the plate by Frank Delgado who had a long home run, In tennis, Pi Lambda Phi ad- vanced to the quarter finals by taking the doubles match of a delayed contest from Chi Psi. Last week the two teams split their singles matches and yester- day's doubles decided the meet. The Pi Lam duo, Tom Fabian and Jerry Hirsch, had very little diffi- culty in defeating the Chi Psi net met, Stu Ward and Jerry Kowach- nik, by scores of 6-0, 6-2. The only other IM action was in horseshoes. In the social fraterni- ties, Kappa Sigma beat Sigma Al- pha Epsilon 2-1, while in the pro- fessional fraternities, Psi Omega defeated Phi Delta Phi, 2-1 and Delta Sigma Delta shutout Alpha Chi Sigma, 3-0. Major League StandEngs NATIONAL LEAGUE By WARREN WERTHEIMER A seventeen-year-old first se- mester freshman is sparking the Michigan drive towards a possible Big Ten baseball title. The youngster is Marv Wisniew- ski, a big, well-built south-paw hurler who hails from Detroit. Wisniewski has won four of five decisions this year including two Conference victories. *, * * HIS LAST three games have been shutouts and he is currently on a string of twenty-two consecu- tive scoreless innings. While com- piling this sensational streak, Wis- niewski has allowed but eight hits. The six foot, 170 pound pit- cher attended Detroit North- eastern High School where he pitched in his senior year. How- ever he didn't get to pitch as much as he would have liked to since Bud Campana, now the property of the Chicago Cubs, was a member of the same team. He played most of his ball with sandlot teams and last year was on the American Legion club that won the national championship. MARV WISNIEWSKI . . . freshman sensation He got one of the biggest thrills of his young career when he pitch- ed and won the championship game, giving up only three hits. * * * THE DETROIT southpaw comes from a family of five. His dad played semi-pro ball as a catcher and once had a tryout with tle Boston Red Sox. However his ca- reer was ruined when he lost two fingers in an accident. Wisniewski, senior, takes a great interest in his son's carete and would be greatly pleased to see Mary reach the goal that fate prevented him from attain- ing. The freshman lefty would defi- nitely be interested in playing Ma- jor League ball if he got the chance. However he is not count- ing on getting this break and is studying to be a doctor. WHAT WAS his biggest -thrill! Well, it was winning the Ohio State game with his dad looking on. His father asked the younger Wisniewski to win the game for him. Not only did the freshman sensation win, but he came with- in one man of hurling a perfect game as he gave up one measly single. Wisniewski's best pitch is a fast ball. Under the guidance of Coach Ray Fisher he is working on his curve and change-up. HE CREDITS Fisher with do- ing more for him than all his other coaches combined. The Wol- verine coach has changed his style and improved his fast ball. With this new pitching motion, he has much better control. Fisher thinks a great deal of his freshman hurler. "He is young and green but is still developing and has the potentialities to go far:' Radio Coverage Will Highlight M' Golf Match Here Saturdaiy LeClaire Shoots Sub-Par 67 In Sensational Practise Round Right side' up or upside down I 4> Another first in Michigan sports" history will take place Saturday when the Wolverine linksmen try to extend their five match win- ning streak in a quadrangular meet with Purdue, Ohio State, and Northwestern on the Ann Arbor . course. This event will be the first golf match ever broadcast at Michigan. Bill Fleming, sportscaster who will handle the mike over WUOM and WHRV, believes this coverage to be the first radio account of any Big Ten golf match.a * * VAN HEUSEN SPORT SHIRTS If a practice performance by Michigan golfer Lowell LeClaire is an indication of things to come in Saturday's quadrangular meet against Ohio State, Purdue and Northwestern, the Wolverines should take the easy road to their eighth consecutive victory. LeClaire, a second-year man on Coach Bert Katzenmeyer's squad, fired a phenomenal 36-31-67 in a warmup round yesterday to re- cord one of the lowest scores on the University links in ten years. ON THE front nine, the Ann Arbor swinger equalled par-36 with seven pars, a bogey on the par-five second hole, and a birdie on the 415-yard seventh. Then LeClaire realy got hot. He birdied the tenth and elev- enth holes, going 954 yards in only nine swings, after which he parred the treacherous 515-yard twelfth. The birdies sang again for Le- Claire on the 415-yard unlucky thirteenth, which he put away in four tries. Pars followed off the next two tees to ,set the stage for a spectacular effort on the 385- yard sixteenth. Michigan's number three singles clubber parred out the last two holes to record his five-under-par 31 for the back nine. In the Michigan State match last Saturday, LeClaire gave indi- cations of better things to come as he returned medalist in the Maize and Blue triumph.

The Wildcats, who have split two conference meets in 1952, beating Minnesota while bowing to a strong Iowa team in a trian- gular meet at Iowa City, also hold a decision over the University of Detroit. NORTHWESTERN is led by junior Willard (Andy) Anderson, who placed 13th-in the conference meet last year. Rounding out the squad are lettermen Paul Snow, Jerry Thomas, Gene Larson, Cliff Kong, and newcomer Carl Stotz. Ohio State, double loser in the meet last month with Michigan and Purdue, has not lost a match since. The Buckeyes avenged Brooklyn.......... New York......... Chicago............

At the same time, the Ohio links- men drubbed the Hawkeyes, 28%/- 71, to re-affirm their claim as a strong defender of the Big Ten Championship, which they won last year. The Purdue sextet has not been napping either since its last loss to Michigan. After that encounter, the Boilermakers won five matches, three in conference, including a decisive 31-11 victory over Iowa. Michigan, still undefeated in conference play this year, looms as favorite in the match, despite the loss of the services of Russ Johnson, who will be best man at his sister's wedding Saturday.
