IP Overcomes Pressure in

Upsets Fail To Halt Team's
Drive for National Title

NCAA Champs

!

By CARL RISEMAN
"Everyone was saying that we
were going to make a runaway of
the meet, but I knew it was going
to be tough-and it was."
Thus swim coach Gus Stager
reflected his team's weekend vic-
tory in the NCAA swimming cham-
pionship at the Varsity Exhibition
Pool.
Michigan won with 72 points,
with Yale taking 63 and Michigan'
State 62. The Wolverines had
taken their second straight NCAA
title, but to the surprise of many
it was a very close finish.
"Pressure On"
"The pressure was on the Wol-
verine swimmers all the way,"
continued Stager. "We were in
our home pool, we were defending
champions and we were expected
to repeat."
Stager added that other teams
will always try to beat the cham-
pions and this accounted for some
notable upsets for the Maize and
Blue..
Frank Modine of Michigan State
had been beaten by Cy Hopkins in
both the 100 and 200-yd. breast-
$ stroke in the Big Ten meet at Iowa
City but upset Hopkins in both
events in the NCAA meet.
"Modine started fast in both
races," related Stager. "He knew
that would be the .only way in
which he could beat Hopkins, since
Hopkins would pace himself and.
try to win in the last laps."
Dick Hanley also surprised many
by not winning the 220-yd. free-
4 style, and finishing only fifth in
the 100-yd. freestyle.
"Dick had been sick earlier in
the week, and missing several
practices had thrown his timing
off," explained Stager.
Similar Races
Hanley's race had been similar
to Hopkins. MSU's Don Patterson
had gotten off to a fast lead
hoping that he could hold on when
Hanley would make his bid in the
last two laps. Hanley did gain on
Patterson at the finish but Pat-
terson and the other three free-
stylers - Gary Morris of Iowa,
Roger Anderson of Yale an -kla-
homa's Jeff Farrell - had , ;h
distance on Hanley to beat A..n.
Tony Tashnick was the only
Wolverine victor, with wins in
both the 100 and 200-yd. butterfly.

However, Tashnick had provided
one of the surprises of the meet,
when he failed to qualify in the
200-yd. individual medley on Fri-
day.
The main reason Stager gave
for Tashnick's slow time was the
fact that although he had won his
heat by two lengths, he was swim-
ming in a very slow heat and didn't'
have any competition to swim
against.
Had to Work
"After Tashnick had failed to
qualify in the individual medley,
the swimmers realized that they
were going to have to really work
to gain the championship-and
this they did."
Former Michigan swim coach,
and now Oklahoma coach, Matt
Mann, had remarked that the meet
had gone according to form, but
to Stager the Michigan State team
had been a complete surprise.
"Billy Steuart, who took the 440-
yd. freestyle and the 1500-meters,
and Modine were especially bril-
liant for the Spartans," Stager
said.

Trio Dominates Meet for Champions

"Illinois' Abe Grossfeld, Bob
Diamond and Frank Hailand were
Just too much," commented Newt
Loken, Michigan's gymnastics
coach, as he reviewed the Wolver-
} *ines' fourth place finish in the
Big Ten meet.
} "Even if we had Gagnier com-
peting for us we wouldn't have
been able to overcome the cham-
pions," he added.
Grossfeld, suffering a twisted
knee, took two firsts, three sec-
onds and one fourth. Diamond
took two seconds and two sixths
#.:.....while Hailand copped a first, third
r and fourth. Their combined scores
would have put the Illini only four

Adding Pat Bird, Ed Gombos,
John Davis and Al Harvey, the Il-
lini were unbeatable.
Michigan, on the other hand,
could only muster four medals
against Illinois' 13, or a tie for
first, a fourth and two fifths.
Wolfgang Dozauer was the top
point-getter with 15%/2 points from
his fourth in still rings, tie for
seventh in free exercise, eighth on
high bar, and ninth in the all
arournd event.
The young sophomore's fourth
on the still rings was even more
impressive since he was beaten
only by the winner, Iowa's Ted
Segura, Illinois' all-around great,
Grossfeld and the Illini's still ring
specialist, Bird.

Bassey, unbeaten in 20 straight

at odds of 2-1."
Bassey is far and away the bet-
ter boxer, primarily because Pa-

record of 29 knockouts in 33 fights.
Court Reversal
NEW ORLEANS--The Orleans
Parish Court of Appeals yesterday
reversed a lower court and dis-
missed a suit in which lightweight
boxing contender Ralph Dupas
sought to force the City of New
Orleans to issue him a birth cer-
tificate showing his race as white.
Civil District Court Judge Rene
A. Viosca had held that Dupas
should be issued the certificate.
But Appeals Judge Richard T. Mc-
Bride ruled that Dupas was ac-
tually Ralph Duplessis, born in
Plaquemines Parish, and therefore
his court had no jurisdiction.
Dupas needs the certificate to
be eligible to fight against white
fighters in Louisiana. A 1956 state
law prohibits athletic competition
between Negroes and whites.

A major rebuilding job faces
Michigan baseball coach Ray Fish-
er, as he prepares his 38th and
final Wolverine squad for the 1958
season.
Fisher has nine returning letter-
men, but only three were starters
on the 1957 team, which finished
in a three-way tie for second place
in -Big Ten play.
Graduation losses were heavy
on the Wolverines as Glenn Girar-
din, Don Poloskey, and Jim Clark,
mainstays on last year's pitching
staff, along with infielders Ken
Tippery and Jim Vukovich and
outfielder Al Sigman, first string-
ers on last year's squad, played
their final games as seniors last
May.
Major Loss
Another major loss was that of
Captain - elect Steve Boros, who
signed with the Detroit Tigers last
summer.
Fisher has his greatest problem
at pitching, as none of his return-
ing hurlers has thrown a complete
game. The brightest prospects for
this season's mound squad are
southpaws John Herrnstein, Dean
Finkbeiner, and Bob Sealby.
With lettermen Gene Snider and
Jim Dickey returning, Fisher seems
to be pretty well set behind the
plate. Snider hit .308 last season'
while Dickey, who took over the
catching chores when Snider was
sidelined with 'an elbow injury,
I'

led the Big Ten in hitting with a
.583 mark in five Conference
games.
The infield, like the pitching
staff, is a big questlonmark for
Fisher, because his starting com-
bination will probably consist of
three sophomores and only one
veteran, senior Ernie Myers.
Newcomers
The newcomers include Bill Ro-
man at first base, Bob Kucher at
second, Eugene Struczewski at
third, while Myers will hold the
fort at shortstop.

Along with Herrnstein and Seal-
by who will be in the outfield when
they aren't pitching will be letter-
man Bill MacPhee and Dickey, if
he isn't catching.
Another likely candidate for the
outfield is Neil McDonald, 1957-
1958 Michigan hockey captain,
who has shown good speed and
fair hitting ability this spring.
Many of the questions facing
Fisher will be answered on the
spring exhibition trip which opens
April 4 at Winter Park, Fla., when
the Wolverines meet Wesleyan
University.

Frank Lane, general manager,
of the Tribe, revealed the trans-
action in Scottsdale after an aft-
ernoon of bartering with manager
Paul Richards of the Orioles.
The major part of the deal,
Lane said, was Woodling for Doby.
Woodling batted .322 last season
and was voted the Indians' "play-
er of the year." Doby, veteran cen-
terfielder and power hitter, was
with Cleveland for eight seasons
before being traded to the Chicago
White Sox in 1955 for shortstop
Chico Carrasquel and centerfielder
Jim Busby. He was traded to Bal-
timore during the winter.
