". . golf team shows fine over- all balance in opener." ". . Katzenmeyer plagued by remarkably well-balanced team." Michigan's 1956 golf season has suffered from an overdose of such words during the past months. But that's how the story goes-- over-all balance was a definite factor in the regular season and became prominent in the Big Ten Meet last weekend. 9-5 Record After ending the dual-meet sea- son with a record of nine wins against five defeats, golf Coach Bert Katzenmeyer headed for the Xorthwestern links, hoping for a slight miracle. In the last three meets of the regular season, the Wolverines " were very unimpressive and gave Katzenmeyer good reason to worry. However, as one of the golfers said, "It was the over-all balance that kept us in tle running at Evanston." As a result, the Wol- verines took second place in the Conference and finished only seven strokes behind the champion Pur- due Boilermakers. Michigan was the only team to place three golfers in the top 10. John Schubeck, who tied * for- fourth with Ken Rodewald of Michigan State with final scores of 297, Bob McMasters and Fred Micklow were in the race for indi- vidual medalist honors. The Northwestern links were in fine condition for the meet and the weather was fine-that is, the first day of play. Rain on the second -day gave Michigan a chance to play in conditions that were "just like home." Last Title in '2 The Maize and Blue haven't brought the golf championship hom~e since 1952, but their second- place finish this year is certainly a step in the right direction and an improvement over 1955's fourth-place. finish. SSince McMasters and Loeb are the only two leaving the squad, the key words next year could still very well be "over-all balance."

Conference champions Canham Praises Entire Squad for Performance By JOHN HILLYER Coach Don Canham was bub- bling over with praise for his Michigan track stalwarts. He was trying to. remember everyone who made the trip to Minneapolis, scene of the Wol- verines' most recent Big Ten con- quest, their fourth straight in- cluding indoor and outdoor meets. He cited Big Ron Kramer, who high jumped and threw the. weights, scoring in the jump as he hefted his 220 lbs. a full 6'4" over the crossbar. "He got to thinking about that letter and it spurred him on." Canham joked. In order to win a. letter, a Michigan track man has to score at least a fraction of a point in the Conference. Stan Menees also scored in the event, tying Kramer and a few others for fourth at 6'4". Menees thus scored in the Big Ten for the fourth consecutive time. "He always jumps well in the Big One." Canham noted. Everyone seemed to exert him- self to the utmost. Geert Keil- strup, for instance, took fourth behind Captain Ron Wallingford in the two mile, running a 9:33.0, a personal mark. Pete Gray, struggling to retain his Conference 880 title, was lead- ing going into the last 50 yds. when the hot weather and recent mumps bout both caught up with him. Rob Varian didn't place in the event, either, although he ran the best half of his life, a very creditable 1:55.0. Eeles Landstrom dethroned his teammate, Bobby Appleman, in the pole vault, setting a new Var- sity mark of 14'6". The blond Finn, according ,to his coach, won so decisively that he would have cleared the bar had it been at 14'10". "Old Reliable," himself, Dave Owen, came through to repeat in the shot put, while Brendan O'Reilly and Mark Booth, last year's champ, each had a finger in the high-jump pie. Dick Flodin was runner-up in the 220 for the second straight year, last time to "Jet" Jim Golli- day, Saturday to MSU's Eddie Brabham. This is nothing new to Flodin, .the lanky junior from Canham's old prep stamping ground, Oak Park, Ill. He was runner-up in the Illinois state prep 440 for two consecutive seasons. The tracksters must now set their sights on the last big meet of the year - college-wise - the NCAA next month on the Pacific Coast. This will be followed quick- ly by the Olympic trials, with sev- eral countries having a chance to. be represented by Michigan ath- letes. BOB McMASTERS and JOHN SCHUBECK * *.among top ten Long Slams No. 8 Homer hiEightaIlHts PITTSBURGH IP)-First base- man Dale Long of the Pittsburgh Pirates continued his almost in- credible home run hitting last night by blasting his eighth homer in as many games to set a major league record as the third-place Pirates beat the Brooklyn Dodg- ers, 3-2. In other major league action, in the American League, Detroit de- feated Cleveland, 3-1; New York beat Boston, 2-0; Baltimore edged Washington in 10 innings, 6-5; and Kansas City overcame Chi- cago, 6-4. In the National League, it was Chicago 4, Cincinnati 1; Philadel- phia 5, New York 2; and Milwau- kee 10, St. Louis 3. By DIANE LaBAKAS Michigan's tennis team success- fully closed its season over the weekend at Minnesota by copping its second consecutive Big Ten title. The Wolverines, blessed with tremendous depth where it count- ed, finished the meet with 61%/ points, seven in front of runnerup Indiana. Climax to Perfect Year The win was a climax to a per- fect season which saw the netters compile 14 consecutive victories, starting in April, and extend its winning streak to 30. No team was ever able to take more than two games from the Wolverines during that span. Favored Barry MacKay, who was unbeaten during the season, led the Big Ten meet by dumping Al Kuhn of Northwestern, 6-2, 6-2. MacKay's powerful serve and ac- curate volleys eventually proved to be the deciding factor. Potter Beats Dentie Dick Potter's continued improve- ment throughout the season earn- ed him the number two singles crown as he. defeated Indiana's Carl Dentice, 6-4, 6-2. The defeat at this point put somewhat of a crimp into the Hoosier's title hopes, as they had juggled their lineup before the meet in a desperate attempt to overhaul the powerful Wolver- ines. Mark Jaffe gave the Wolverines another victory at third singles as he easily disposed of Purdue's As- tor, 6-4, 6-1. It was the third Big Ten title for Jaffe who last year won the number two singles and number three doubles crown. Also undefeated during the sea- son, sophomore John Harris came through in fine style for the Wol- verines as his strong ground strokes overwhelmed Indiana's George Fryman, 6-4, 6-2, to give him number two singles title. MacKay and Potter then clinch- ed the meet, by eliminating Iowa's team of Andrews and Nadig, 6-2, 6-2, to repeat as number one doub- les champs. Seniors Dale Jensen and Larry Brown, who hold the number five and six singles positions, respec- tively, and comprise the Wolver- ines' third doubles team, were eliminatetd in the semi-finals.

What's doing at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft The Original Wasp, the first P & W A engine - designed, fabricated and assembled in less than seven months. Weigh- ing under 650 pounds and officially rated at 410 hors power, this lightweight, air-cooled radial engine was a milestone in aviation history and set the pattern for almost three decades of record-breaking advances. Today's leadership . .. a reflection of policies established in aviation s infancy Back in The Roaring Twenties, the magic dream pictured Ameri- can families someday using the light personal airplane as freely as the family car. Among the realists, however, was a handful of men who were unshakable in their conviction that the real future of aviation lay with bigger aircraft, higher speeds, greater ranges- all possible only through engines of higher power and more relia- bility than those of that era. In the spring of 1925, six of these men of vision founded a company in Hartford to undertake the development of a new air- craft engine -- an air-cooled type. The year's end heralded their first success -Pratt & Whitney Aircraft's "Wasp". This talented group of ma continued to improve their power- plant designs, developing engines of steadily mounting power that operated efficiently and dependably. They contributed much to aviation', progress -so much so that currently three-quarters of the world's commercial airliners and many of our nation's first line military aircraft are P & W A-powered. Today's P & W A powerplant designs are supported by the iery finest research facilities and equipment, and a technical staff that is continually being strengthened. That nucleus of six men has grown into one of the world's leading engineering organizations. Yet to this very day, engineering achievement at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft is guided by its founders' simple policy ... the best air- planes can be designed only around the best engines.
