DePauw Finishes In Sixth Valpo Takes All-Sports Trophy
End of round two. Thurs., Aug. 2 Fri. Aug3 Mon., Aug. 6 Wed.. Aug. 8 Thurs., Aug. 9 Mon., Aug. 13 Wed., Aug. 15 Play-off tourney. Double elimination.
Greencastle, Ind. (Spl.)--Valparaiso University has captured what turned out to be the tightest race ever for allsports supranacy in the Indiana Collegiate Conference. Valparaiso scored 43!^ pounds in the all-sports race but Butler, Indiana Central, and Evansville all finished within five and one-half points and DePauw and Wabash were within 12. The scores were Valparaiso 43!/2, Butler 40!^, Indiana Central 40!/2, Evansville 38, W'abash 35'/2, DePauw 31, and St. Joseph’s 16. The all-sports trophy, which Valparaiso has now won for five consecutive years, is given to the ICC school that does best overall in the league’s nine-sport program. Seven points are awarded for a first place finish in a sport, six for second. and ^0 on. The maximum number points possible is63. Valparaiso won but one championship during the 1972-73 sports season, but the Crusaders finished among the top three in seven of the nine contested sports. VU got its title in a three-way basketball tie. Second place finishes picked up by the Crusaders came in cross country, swimming, and golf; third places in football, wrestling and track; a fifth in golf, and a tie for sixth in baseball. Indiana Central and Butler tied for second in all-sports points at 40 l /2^40 1 /2. Central won more team championships than any oneelseinthe league, grabbing titles in cross country, track, wrestling, and baseball. Central jumped from sixth last year to second this time. Butler, finding itself in a tie for the second year in a row, shared titles in basketball and football and had first division finishes in fiveothersports. Fourth place Evansville
finished just five and one-half points off Valparaiso’s pace. The Aces shared championships in football and basketball and won a clear title in swimming.
The two remaining titles went to fifth place Wabash, which scored 351/2 points. The Little Giants took the tennis title, their first championship on the courts in their young membership in the ICC.
DePauw took the other championship and that was in golf, giving the Tigers a chunk of their 31 points in the all-sportsderby.
The closest previous allsports race was in 1955-56 when the top four teams finished within seven points of one another. When the next two schools were added, however, 34 points separated the first and sixth place teams, far off this year’s tight race. Head coaches on Valparaiso’s winning staff included ahtletic director Emory Bauer, Norman Amundsen, Edward Winrow, Bill Purden, Don Canfield, and Robert Colyer. Sports information director is John Krause.
Tennis Club Announces
Directors, New Program
At its first meeting held last week, Greencastle’s Tennis Club voted to have a fourmember board direct activities together with the chairmen of various activities this
summer. The four-member board will consist of Bob Breese, Pat Gammon, Scott Kissinger, and Bob New tom. Other members elected to various positions during the meeting were: Underwood Dudley, chairman of the summer-long ladder tournaments; Karen Caine, head of the instruction program; and Stan Caine, Jim Frost, Cindy Riggs, David Silander, members of the special tournament committee. Also decided at last week’s meeting was the replacement of last year’s two-league play with a summer-long ladder tournament.

doubles, mixed if desired) may participate. In general, with the ladder, all people wishing to participate will , sign up and then be ranked from number one on down. You are then free to challenge anyone within five numbers ofyourself to play at anytime that is mutually convenient. The ranking on the ladder is therefore constantly changing throughout the summer.

For a membership blank, please contact Robert Newton, 501 North Arlington, Greencastle. Membership dues are 50# for persons under 18 years of age and $1.00 for those over 18.

U.S. Open To His Victories
OAKMONT Pa.(AP)—Sam Snead can’t understand why the U.S. Open is so much more important than any other golf tournament “They say if you haven't won the Open, you haven’t won anything” sighed the man who in 30 attempts has never won the Open, although he’s been runnerup four times. This week, the garrulous 61-year-old who came from the hills of Virginia in 1933 to fashion one of the great careers in golf, honed his game for Thursday’s start of the 73rd U.S. Open. The sweat on his brow belied the no-num attitude he expressed about the Open. The impression is that he’d give up many of his 84 pro golf victories if he could turn time back long enough to add the Open to his PGA Masters and British Open championships. Snead’s best shot in the historic Open came in 1939, and
1947. In ’39, he needed only a par five on the final hole at Philadelphia Country Club to win. He took an eight and finished fourth. Eight years later he blew a 2!/2-fott putt and lost a playoff to Lew Wosham. He hasn’t any fond memories of the one big title that eluded his skilled talent.
“You play the same fellows every week,” Snead observed as he mopped his balding head after a practice round over the 6,921-yard Oakmont Course. “Really, you don’t even have the best field in the Open. Some dam good golfers don’t qualify. The Open is the easiest tournament. That’s why you hear of so many guys you hardly heard of winning the thing.’ Snead ticked off the names of Sam Parks Jr., Jack Fleck, Dick Mayer, Orville Moody, declaring, “These fellows never won much before the Open and not much after."
