WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1958 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE T BY ICmeAt BY JIM BAAD Big Ten Chances Slim for Golfers WHITE dea A Philosophy IVEN AN ULTIMATUM to vacate my drawer which I have occupied at The Daily for the past year, I had to start cleaning it out. Almost everything went into the wastebasket, but I saved one bit from my collection of athletic department propaganda, as it seemed most fitting for a departing column. I have been down to talk with Bennie Oosterbaan many times in the course of my duties, and on one occasion he .gave me a long yellow sheet of names. It was a list of the men who had played on the undefeated team of 1948 and it described what each was doing ten years after graduation. It's no use going over the list-every man on it was a success-but the list itself is symbolic of the man who gave it to me. The man who runs Michigan's football team is most interested in what his players have accomplished off the field. Always when I have come out of his office, I have learned a little of what happens on the gridiron, and a whole lot concerning the academic and post-graduation success of the players. I this the way for a football coach to act, showing such an interest in a field other than football? At Michigan it's most certainly the way'for a football coach to act. Because Oosterbaan hates recruiting and is satisfied completely with the basis of 'need aid plan which takes the bidding out of'the job, because he completely adheres to ~' the recommendation of the admis- sions committee and is unwilling to take a chance ol a boy's flunk- - vfing out just because he's a good football player, because he is in- terested in the educational oppor- tunity he can offer to athletes, and because he is most interested in seeing his players graduate and become successful after gradua- tion, he is the right man in the right job in the right place. Michigan needs the coach that Oosterbaan is. It needs a man with a philosophy of football which can k allow him to adapt to the pressures put ,on him by the academic side BENNIE OOSTERBAAN of the University and still produce ...Bbuilder of men a winning football team. This is the important thing. In the face of stiff entrance reuirements and study schedules, Oosterbaan has established a Conference record second only to Woody Hayes and his recently NCAA-probationed Ohio State Buckeyes. The Daily's Search... rHIS YEAR The Daily went out to find discrepancies in the Athletic Department. For five months a good reporter worked on the job, digging wherever he could. The result was a series of five articles, the majority of content being an explanation of the Athletic Department. The minority contained a few instances of minor infractions. The story worried some of the people in the Athletic Department, however, their view being that perhaps they weren't lily white in the face of the letter of the law, but in comparison to the majority of their Conference competition, they were, and such a story aiming at ideal pureness could easily distract from the strides now being taken in that direction. It's good to aim at the ideal, however, and The Daily ran the articles. They did no harm, and no one is happier about it than I. Because of my relationship with Oosterbaan, knowing that he hates recruiting and the high pressure football that is the college sport today, and knowing that he is interested in his pyers as students, I can't help but feel that a man like this couldn't hold a job in a college not interested in bringing athletes into perspective. We have talked about Michigan State and the impending threat on our football tradition. His answer is that he knew it would come when State entered the Conference. The big difference between the two schools is the entrance requi'rements. He dwells only for a short while on the difference in player potential, however, and talks long on success potential of the boys he can get into this school. The Saddest Part.. . A' SAYS the saddest part of his job is turning away the boys whose grades don't merit entrance to the University. It's just as sad to him if the boy's a highly-rated All-Stater or a not-so-highly-rated All-Stater. He wouldn't take a chance on anyone flunking out when the admissions committee assures him that the chances are high. For this reason he can feel proud of the 99 per cent graduation average y . that his lettermen since 1952 have established. Because he loses so many players in this way he is severely criti- cized for sloppy recruiting. Also, because he excuses athletes occa- sionally who are way behind in their work or who have an unavoidable class, he is criticized for holding a sloppy practice I don't think he cares about this criticism, however. He is trying in the ways he can to approach a situation that is ideal. True, football is far from deemphasis, but it is more casual here than other places, and for this Oosterbaan can be proud, especially proud since he's won three titles, and never had a season below .500 in 10 years of Big Ten play. 4N, By DAVE LYON Michigan golf coach Bert Kat- zenmeyer spoke pessimistically yesterday about the Wolverines' chances in the upcoming Big Ten meet, which will be held in Co- lumbus Friday and Saturday. "It'll be a real job for us to avoid finishing in 10th place," he said. Katzenmeye tended to dis- count the linksmen's slight im- provement against Michigan State and the University of Detroit in Michigan's last meet before the Big Ten affair. "We can't play like we have so far this season and expect to do anything. We'll have to do better to keep out of the cellar." Katzenmeyer predicted there would bena "real dogfight" be- tween many of the better teams for the Conference championship. Ohio State, Purdue, and Michigan State, all of which took turns at downing the Wolverines this sea- son, have experienced and con- sistent squads. Indiana, which barely defeat- ed Michigan early in the season, has "a young team with a great deal of potential," according to Katzenmeyer. Reports on defend- ing champion Wisconsin indicate the Badgers have a good chance to repeat as Conference cham- pions. Little is known about Iowa, Il- linois, Minnesota, and Northwest- ern, but the Michigan coach as- serted that his team would have to improve much to beat out any of these squads. Conducted Differently The Big Ten golf meet is con- ducted somewhat differently from the regular season matches. Each Conference member will send a six-man team, and each man will play 36 holes of golf on Friday and 36 more on Saturday. The 72-hole scores of the five best men on each team will be totaled to determine the team score, with the lowest team score winning. Michigan's squad of Ray Lovell, Captain Stan Kwasiborski, Chuck Blackett, Pat Keefe, Larry Leach, and Dick Bither is scheduled to leave this afternoon for Columbus. Afgt I t .. ...t. .

'{ .k«X a.",,r PESSIMISTIC-Bert Katzenmeyer, Michigan golf coach, said the Wolverine linksmen will have to show better golf than they have displayed so far this season if the team is to finish higher than 10th in the Big Ten championship meet which will be held at Columbus Friday and Saturday. ar e important pring news I Wolverine Netmen Hope To Annex Fourth Straight Conference Crown By GARY GUSSIN Tomorrow, Friday and Satur- day at Evanston, Ill., Michigan's tennis squad will attempt to be- come the second team in Big Ten history to win four straight Con- ference meets.

SPORT SHORTS By The Associated Press IOWA CITY - Milton (Sharm) Schuerman, 24-year-old protege of the late Frank (Bucky) O'Connor, was appointed TueCqy to succeed him as head basketball coach at Iowa. ST. LOUIS-The sixth-place but rising St. Louis Cardinals reen- forced their pitching staff Tuesday by acquirirg right-handed hurler Jim Brosnan from the Chicago Cubs in return for veteran short- stop Al Dark. only Northwestern has been able to take four successive titles. The Wildcats accomplished the feat in the years from 1947 to 1950. Chicago won its three titles between 1937 and 1939, Indiana took three straight crowns be- tween 1952 and 1954, and the cur- rent Michigan team has held the Conference championship for three years. Stars as Player Michigan's present coach, Bill Murphy, has played an important part in two of these streaks, Mich- igan's and Chicago's. He and his brother Chet starred in singles and doubles on all three title- winning Chicago squads. The 1938 Chicago team was the only Big Ten team ever to win championships in all nine divi- sions in a Conference meet. The Wolverines almost swept the tour- nament last year, losing only in sixth singles. It has been even mol'e difficult for individual players to domin- ate Conference meets than for teams.
