Tremendous physical expansion took place on the athletic scene this year. A

45,000-seat stadium, expected to open in fall 1960, and a new fieldhouse were under

construction. An addition was being made to the Men's Gym to house two new swim-

ming pools and more classrooms for the School of HPER.

I. U. maintained its high standing in intercollegiate sports. The Fightin' Hoosiers had a 4-4-1 record, and their Hurryin' counter-

play to be what some considered the best team to miss the Big Ten championship in many years. The University also had the best swimming team in its history.

For the nonvarsity athlete, I. U. offered a year-long intramural program ranging from fencing to touch football.

Frank Allen Establishes 'System' for Sports

Chris Dal Sasso, Assistant Administrator, Department of Intercollegiate Athletics

Frank E. Allen had a big job ahead of him when he became athletic director at Indiana University in 1955. The former I. U. Trustee and South Bend superintendent of schools found that his new job entailed more than hiring coaches and planning athletic events on campus. His major concern was with establishing a "system" in athletic administration.

The recruiting of football players was a problem. Here is where the system came in. Mr. Allen, along with members of his staff, established a stronger alumni organization. Alumni throughout the country introduced young football players to Indiana University, and an improvement in the quality of players and coaches alike was soon evident.

Mr. Allen's greatest satisfaction has been in watching the system pay off. Football enthusiasm at I. U. has been revived through improvement in the brand of ball played by the Hoosiers. With newer and better facilities, Mr. Allen feels that I. U. athletics will continue to show improvement.

Modeled on the Roman gladiatorial arena, the new $4,300, 000 stadium will seat 45,000 fans in permanent stands.

Growth of athletic facilities such as that at Indiana University has never been experienced by another college in the country. Construction of athletic plants is usually piecemeal, but here work on a football stadium, a fieldhouse, and an extension onto the Men's Gym has been under way simultaneously.

The welcome impact of the new facilities will be felt in September 1960, when the Fightin' Hoosiers will play host in their 45,000-seat stadium. The fieldhouse can be regarded an appetizer by basketball fans , with the main course to come along in the near future in the form of an 18,000-seat arena.

The new fieldhouse increases indoor athletic areas. Above-ground-level seating will reduce poor views.

I - Men's Club Consists of 255 Letter Winners

Two hundred fifty-five athletes who have won a varsity "I" in one of the nine major sports at Indiana University are members of the I-Men's Club.

After graduation, these men will be eligible for lifetime membership in the I-Men's Association, a group whose members return to be honored at a football game each season.

The organization began during the 1940-1941 school year and since 1950 has been known for its contributions to civic and University projects. Probably the peak of its activity comes on Cream and Crimson Day, marking the end of spring football practice. Features of this day include an intrasquad game, which attracts thousands of fans; the queen's coronation; and the annual athletic banquet, when the year's outstanding athletes receive honors such as the Gimbel and Balfour awards.

New SAB Committee Begins Send-off Rallies

This year send-off rallies for the football team were begun as one of the projects of the representative committee of the Student Athletic Board. The committee, composed of one member from each housing unit on campus, was created this year to arouse more interest in athletics among the students.

During Orientation Week the SAB directed a pep rally at which the freshmen selected three cheerleaders. The board co-ordinated all Homecoming game activities and was in charge of the I. U.-Purdue football rally.

The Student Athletic Board acts as a liaison between the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and the student body. To strengthen support for the University's athletic programs, the board is divided into pep rally, card section, student spirit, publicity, ticket promotion, and athlete-recruiting committees.

Fightin' Hoosiers Have 4-4-1 Record for 1959

Discounting a debatable loss at Michigan State and a scoreless tie with Ohio State, the 1959 band of Fightin' Hoosiers could easily have been in the thick of the Big Ten race. As it was, they finished with a 4-4-1 record and tied for eighth in the Conference.

The Hoosiers bobbled only 25 times, one over the 1955 record, and lost the ball only nine times. That recovery rate was better than the 12 fumbles lost by the 1955 and 1957 teams.

The squad was one of the most alert in history, if fumble recoveries indicate anything. In addition to retrieving 16 of its own, it picked up 23 of 40 fumbles by opponents.

Capt. Ted Smith and fullback Vic Jones wound up their collegiate careers as the seventh- and eighth-ranking rushers in University history. Smith's three-season total came to 912 yards, while Jones gained 898. Jones carried the ball 288 times to gain a place as Indiana's fourth busiest back on running plays.

Cross Country Runners Win Big State Meet

Before the 1959 cross country season opened, Jim Lavery, head coach while Gordon Fisher was in Thailand, said that I. U. had "a green coach and a green team."

Only three veterans were left from the previous year's team—Charles Siesky, Dave Hedges, and Dave Wilson. But the young and inexperienced cross country team hustled to a victory in the Big State Meet with Notre Dame and Purdue Universities.

Russ Lash was the hurryin' harrier to watch on the four-mile course. His teammates usually followed close behind Lash and pushed him all the way. Coach Lavery was pleased with the running of his sophomores and returning lettermen. "They wanted to win," he said. He was high in his praise for Lash, the son of Don Lash, '36, the 5,000- and 10,000-meter and the twomile runner. "I hope that the boy can approach his father's form," said Coach Lavery. "If he can, we will be in great shape."

Hurryin' Hoosiers Finish Second in Big Ten

260

Walt Bellamy's dunk is hampered.

After winning eight of nine preseason games, Coach Branch McCracken's tall and talented Hurryin' Hoosiers suffered three opening losses in Big Ten play, which killed their title aspirations in the first eight days of the Conference season.

Highlights of preseason play were victories over Butler and Notre Dame in the Hoosier Classic and a 90-71 thrashing of Louisville in the finals of the Blue Grass Festival. Other impressive victories were a 67-58 comeback job over strong Kansas State and a thrilling 89-85 victory over nationally ranked Detroit in which Walt Bellamy, 6'101/2", scored 35 points.

What happened to the Hoosiers against Purdue and Northwestern is anybody's guess. While overconfidence and slow-down tactics by opponents may have had something to do with the losses, a serious shooting slump did the main damage. I. U. shot 34 per cent from the field against Purdue and 29 per cent against Northwestern.

The first of two memorable Ohio State games was a different story; for 38 minutes the Hoosiers were the superior team. They hit 55 per cent of their shots, outshooting the Buckeyes by five baskets and losing only through floor errors and defensive lapses.

Thanks to a tight zone defense and a torrid shooting percentage, the Hoosiers bounced back with 12 straight victories, 11 of them in Conference play, to pull themselves up from the cellar to a second-place finish behind Ohio State.

After the Hurryin' Hoosiers finally got on the victory trail in the Big Ten, against Michigan, there was no team in the league which could stop them. Only Minnesota and Michigan State provided any serious competition. Even the champion Buckeyes were no match for the revenge-minded Hoosiers in their second meeting.

I. U. regained face with its splendid finish and was ranked No. 7 in the nation by Associated Press basketball reporters.

While five of the eight top scorers will return next season, it is questionable whether that edition of the Hurryin' Hoosiers will be any more formidable than this year's team. The key graduation losses are smoothworking Frank Radovich and battling Bob Wilkinson.

One of the most accurate shooters in I. U. basketball history, Radovich averaged 45 per cent from the field

over three seasons. His variety of shots from all over the court, along with his rugged rebounding, made him one of the top front-court men in the Big Ten.

Wilkinson provided the aggressive floor leadership necessary to make I. U.'s individually talented players a winning unit. His defensive play and ball-handling were every bit as valuable as his 11-points-a-game average.

Heading the returnees for next year is the towering Bellamy, who has shot .535 from the field and led the Hoosiers in scoring the last two seasons. Although the Big Bell has averaged close to 20 points and 15 rebounds a game for two years, his offensive potential has been cut down by his fouling.

Two-year starter Herbie Lee, 5'11", who was suspended from school for violation of disciplinary probation, is a doubtful returnee. Foremost among candidates for the vacated guard spots are speedy Jerry Bass, 5'9", and veteran Gary Long, 6'0".

Two freshmen who may crack into the starting lineup next season are publicized prep stars Jimmy Rayl, 6'2", and Tom Bolyard, 6'4". Bolyard's main competi-

Rifle Team Third in 1959 Championship Match

Left- and right-eyed riflemen mirror each other's form.

A third-place finish in the Big Ten is something to be proud of, but the 1958-1959 rifle team may well feel somewhat disappointed. They were nosed out of second place in the championship match by Ohio State, 2,7682,764. However, they did win a permanent plaque for I. U., and Capt. Joseph Spitler and each other team member received bronze Wiles Trophy medals.

Indiana marksmen also did well in the individual Big Ten competition as Dick Mantel and Roger Tillman placed second and sixth on the All-Big Ten second rifle team.

In the three regular-season triangular matches, I. U. also placed third. Again the Hoosiers brought back a permanent plaque, and again Dick Mantel, Roger Tillman, and Mike Halus starred. They placed in the 30 eligible shooters—fifth, 15th, and 17th, respectively.

In the 1959-1960 season's first match, against Rose Polytechnic Institute, two of the highest individual scores at I. U. in three years were registered-289 and 287. Later the team, suffering mid-year losses, came out sixth of six in the 1960 Conference match.

I Swimmers Defeat Highly Ranked Michigan

The 1959-1960 I. U. swimming team was said to be the greatest in University history by its coach, Jim Counsilman. After handing the Michigan Wolverines their first defeat in 33 meets, the Hoosiers were regarded the best swimming team in the nation. Coach Counsilman also spoke highly of his freshman team.

The I. U. tankmen shattered pool, individual, and team records, as well as national and world marks.

Early this spring Mike Troy owned the best U. S. time in the 200-yard butterfly event, Frank McKinney was best among U. S. backstrokers, and John Roethke had broken the national freshman mark in the 200yard medley.

Troy, McKinney, Alan Somers, and George Breen, a graduate, all earned berths last summer on the PanAmerican team and the U. S. team that went to Japan. Pete Sintz, Ken Nakasone, and Tom Verth were also on the Pan-American squad, and Bill Barton was the fifth Hoosier on the Japanese trip. The I. U. five scored 28 of 41 points in the U. S. victory in Japan.

Gymnasts Rated Highly in Spite of 5-7 Season

Although the Hoosier gymnasts posted only five victories as against seven defeats, Coach Otto Ryser rated the 1959-1960 team "the best we have ever had here."

Coach Ryser cited lack of depth along with a general improvement in the caliber of competition to explain the 5-7 season mark.

Senior Jerry Jacquin led the Hoosiers in scoring with 172 1/2 points. Gathering most of his points in the free exercise, he had highs of 22 against Ball State and 20 in the Wisconsin meet.

Another senior, Paul Brown, who garnered 89 points, performed excellently in the Big Ten Meet.

Dave Nawrocki, a fourth-place finisher in the tumbling division of the NCAA Meet, recorded 80 points during the season. Expected to be next year's bellwether, Nawrocki this season had a high-point performance of 12, against Chicago.

With Jacquin and Brown being the only graduation losses, Coach Ryser is hopeful that next year's record will show an improvement.

Suffering Losses, Wrestlers Have 4-5 Season

Wrestlers snap into action from referee's position.

Dick Zboray literally changes his foe's expression.

Inexperience and midyear ineligibilities held Coach Charley McDaniel's wrestlers to a mediocre season in 1959-1960. They finished the regular season with a record of four victories and five losses.

Coach McDaniel lost six wrestlers from the 19581959 squad, which won six of 10 Big Ten matches. However, two veterans and a sophomore posted outstanding records for the year.

The two outstanding veterans were George Ihnat, senior, and Dick Zboray, junior. Zboray jumped from the 130- to the 137-pound class without losing the effectiveness that made him an outstanding sophomore.

Ron Hutcherson, sophomore flash from Bloomington, capably filled Zboray's shoes at the 130-pound slot.

Others who comprised the first string for the Hoosier matmen were senior Fred Lamb, junior Dave Medaris, and sophomores Pete Walker and John Grill. Things should improve next year, as Coach McDaniel will have seven sophomores and three juniors back from a 12-man squad. Only losses will be Ihnat and Lamb.

Tennis Team Comes Out Sixth in Conference

Considerably weakened by the loss of three top men, the 1959 Hoosier tennis team fought gamely but skidded from fifth to sixth in the Big Ten. After a poor start against the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of Tennessee, the team rallied against most other non-Conference foes through the middle of its schedule. However, competition during the last part of the season against the Big Ten's Ohio State, Michigan State, and University of Michigan proved difficult. The Hoosiers wound up with a 10-13 record (3-6 in the Conference).

The team was sparked by the sharp playing of Mike Field and the steady support of Jack Fitzpatrick, Harry Garnette, and Dean Dixon. Five of 1958's top eight players returned, but the top doubles and singles positions were wide open. Therefore, Coach Bill Landin relied on sophomores to fill the lower positions as the veterans moved up.

Coach Landin was rebuilding last season; the 1960 season should find the Hoosiers reaping the fruits of the preceding year's work.

Sparked by veteran hurdler Willie May, Indiana University's track team climaxed a rebuilding season by taking third place in the indoor and outdoor Big Ten Meets and 12th in the NCAA Meet.

Hoosiers winning blue ribbons in the indoor Big Ten Meet were underdog Ron Long in the two-mile run and May in the 70-yard high hurdles. In the outdoor meet, May won the 120-yard high hurdles for the third straight year and the 220 low hurdles for the second year in a row.

Basketball player Leroy Johnson provided one of the indoor season's highlights when he high jumped 6 feet 7 1/2 inches at his first meet, the Intercollegiate Invitational at I. U. The jump broke the Fieldhouse record by one-fourth inch.

Competition at the Drake Relays was so stiff that the Hoosier 440- and 880-yard relay teams broke I. U. records but still did not place in the meet. Running in the relays were Berry Williams, Ray Spivey, Mike Johnston, Al Phillips, and May.

Consistent point-getters throughout the season in the field events included Joe Carroll, pole vault; John Kneipple, shot-put; Phillips, broad jump; and Reggie Sheppard, high jump, who set an I. U. outdoor record of 6 feet 7 1/2 inches in the Big Ten Meet.

Golf Team Ties for Third in Big Ten Meet

Darl Kriete, Ron Royer, and Jon Sommer led the 1959 I. U. linksmen through one of their most successful seasons. Under Coach Bob Fitch, the Hoosiers compiled a 14-4-1 record, which included a nine-match winning streak and a tie for third place in the Big Ten Meet.

After winning two of its first three matches, Indiana placed second to Purdue in a four-way meet at Champaign, Ill. Kriete, the team's only loss through graduation, was the low I. U. medalist with a 141.

In a similar meet at Columbus, Ohio, the next week, the Hoosiers had to settle for third place.

At the Big State Meet here a week before the season's end, the Hoosiers had a three-stroke edge over secondplace Purdue. Besides a three-way contest, dual matches were also played. Notre Dame lost to both I. U. and Purdue, and the two latter tied.

Baseball Team Rolls Up 19-12 Season Record

Lacking a long-ball hitter, the Indiana baseball team leaned heavily on strong pitching and a tight defense to roll up a 19-12 season for Coach Ernie Andres in 1959. The Big Ten record read 8-7, which was good enough for a fourth-place tie with Michigan State. The Hoosiers won a key double-header from the Spartans here Cream and Crimson Day, 4-3 and 6-1.

Left-handed pitchers gave I. U. plenty of trouble. All but one of the squad's Conference defeats were dealt by opposing southpaws.

Capt.-elect Don Foreman experienced another good year in an Indiana uniform, hitting .424 in Big Ten play and .339 for all games.

Coach Andres expressed particular delight in his crop of returnees this spring. They included the entire pitching staff from 1959.

More Than 3,000 Participate in Intramurals

The intramural sports program at Indiana University attracted more than 3,000 participants this year, some of them taking part in more than one activity. Elimination of the All-Sports Award, which was formerly given to the organization compiling the most points in all intramural sports, has actually helped the program. Robert Stumpner, intramural sports director, explained that with team trophies going to league champions instead, the less-talented athletes are not discouraged from competing.

Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, the Esquires, the Pogo Pops, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity (B-1) were champs of their respective touch football leagues, while Tower Quad D won the wrestling title. Theta Chi fraternity, the Falcons, and the Thai Association were first-place finishers in their bowling leagues, and the Parks House Grenadiers were residence halls pocket billiards kings. Sigma Nu fraternity won the cross country event, and golf honors went to Beta Theta Pi fraternity in the fall.
