PROBLEM: MIAC records showed Macalesteras the MIAC ConferenceTennis Champions for1965 in error(as of 4-30-2011)

Assignment: Provide PROOF ofHamlines Claim-request MIAC record changePrepared by: Bruce McKinnon (64), 1961-1964 tennis team member

Background: On 3-15

-1920, a formal constitution was adopted and the MinnesotaIntercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) was born with Carleton College, Gustavus

Adolphus College, Hamline University, Macalester College, St. John's University,St. Olaf College and the University of St. Thomas. Concordia College-Moorhead

joined the MIAC in 1921, Augsburg College in 1924 (mens tennis dropped in 1998)and St. Mary's University in 1926. Carleton dropped membership in 1925, rejoining i1983. St. Olaf left in 1950 and returned in 1975. The University of Minnesota Duluthwas a member of the MIAC from 1950 to 1975. Bethel University joined in 1978.|||| SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ minnesota_Intercollegiate_Athletic_Conference

Determining WHICH team won the MIAC conference title has changed over the yearsInitially, because of the weather, individual college commitments, budgets, and thedifficulty with lining up outdoor tennis courts (in playable condition), it was litterally

impossible for every team in the conference to play one another during the SEASONIn addition, the popularity (or lack thereof) of tennis at the time placed some teamsin the position of not always being able to fill all the team player slots (6 singles and3 doubles). Consequently, most of colleges would send their #1 and #2 singlesand #1 doubles payers to a season ending play-off matchoften referred to as theconference championship. This became readily apparent to me as I spent countlesshours searching the Internet for data and each MIAC college website for tennis teamwin / loss records and/or conference titles. Dependent upon the year, calls I placedto many college alumni offices to check their college annuals only provedthat somecolleges did not even mention their tennis team in their yearbooks or had a photo ofthe team and names of players shown AND that was it (no reference to conferencechampionships or season standings nothing).

Look at the chart to the leftthat I copied from the Gustavus website in April 2011for the period 1920-1969. Source: https://gustavus.edu/athletics/mt/records/miacchamps.cfm Note the references to more than one team name for a year (followed by and S & D singles & doubles). Clearly what is being reported here is the results of the seasoending playoffresults, not the teamseason standings. I highlighted all referencesto Hamline from 1920 to 1969. My interpretation of the roaring 20s is that Hamlinewon both singles and doubles in 1921, but only doubles in 1923 and 1928 at the endof the season playoff. There is NO WAY to even imply any connection to the seasondual match win/loss record during this period. If the Gustavus records (2011) werecorrect, Hamline did not win a playoff tournament in the 30s, 40s or 50s, not one.During the 1960s, 3 Hamline Hall of Famers won 5 singles titles (Hutton = 61 anGustafson = 3 in 62, 63 & 64 and Bob Bigelow= 1968) and both singles & double(StebbinsandMiller) in 1964. There is no reference to the season team win / lossrecord. So again, the RECORD here refers to the year end playoff tournament. FYI:Hamline has never since won a MIAC conference championship during the 70s, 80s90s and 2000s through 2012.

According to Dan McKane (2011), the MIAC Executive Director, the MIAC did nothave an office or Directoruntil 1994until 1994. Prior to that date, athletic records were based oreports submitted by various team coaches, thus he could not guarantee MIAC recordaccuracy. He noted that there were some groups that had investigated the accuracyof existing historical records and supplied updates along with supporting newspaperclippings AND, that there may be some data that may not all have been postedtoMIAC files (e.g., Steve Wilkinson, Gustavus and John Mueller, Augsburg).

1965 Connued

1965 Season in Perspecve: From season 61 through 64, Hamlines tennis teams had placed 3rd and 2nd once and 1st

twice in the MIAC Conference. So for 1965, it was very clear that Hamline would have a very strong team with plenty of

depth. While the team lost seasoned 4-year leerman Stebbins, McKinnon & Lipelt, the 65team returned 7 leerman

from previous conference championship teams Gustafson, Huss, Miller and the Strohkirch twins (5) from 62 & 64 plu

Wirtanen and Schneider (2) from 64. All of these team players came up under the tutelage of Dr. Lewis who always

molded an unselsh, close knit group. Unfortunately, Dr. Lewis did move on to Dennison University in Ohio at the end o

the 1964 school year, but all returning players had played key rolls in previous championships. Depth is always crical.

Loss of Bob Gustafason: Hamline suered a major blow for the 1965 season with the loss of 3-me conference singles

champion and Hamline Hall of Fame player Bob Gustafson aer only two dual matches. A disabling blood disease ended

his career at Hamline aer 60 wins and 2 losses (Wichita as a Freshman and the second 1965 season dual meet with

Macalester). While Gus had never played doubles at Hamline, he did return to play doubles in one more dual meet in

1965, but subsequently totally quit playing tennis (unl he was 28). He did not play in the 1965 year-end conference

tournament / playo (doctors orders).

Team Season Record Leads to 1965 Conference Championship: Hamline again had a awless season conference record

in spite of the early loss of Gustafson, thanks in part to the constant emphasis Dr. Lewis placed on playing all team

members in-conference and out-of-conference matches. Hamline ended the 1965 season with 8 wins / 0 losses in

conference matches, 10-1 overall. Hamlinewon 10 dual meets (including 2 out-of-conference) and lost one

non-conference match to St Cloud State, very impressive given the loss of Gustafson early in the season.

team member Ford Spalding,was taken from the Hamlinecollege newspaper (Oracle)at the time and discusses the1964 team championship.

However,the tennis articlecut out of the 1965 HamlineOracle appearing belowindicates that Hamline hadrepeated its conferencetitle in 1965, similar to 1964,

and that this was the thirdteam title in 4 years.

This page contains a COPY of two separate e-mails sent to me by former Gustavu

tennis coach, Steve Wilkinson, responding to 2 of my inquiries about the accuracy

ofMIAC records relave to the 1965 MIAC Conference Championship. Steve

is perhaps the most revered tennis coach in US history due to his phenomenal

39 year coaching record at Gustavus. I needed someone to weigh in on this issue

whos credenals were unquesonable. Steve was the perfect candidate.

E-mail #1 (below) was Steves rst response aer checking some of his records

following our rst conversaon. But, as he suggested, I needed to see whatMacalesters records indicated. And I did.

E-mail #2 to the lewas Steves response to receiving the (next) PAGE that I had

obtained from the Macalester Alumni Oce and e-mailed to him. Shown on the

Gustavus Coach Steve Wilkinson 2nd e-mail follow-up: Steve was right. What was needed to theorecally put this queson (who was

MIAC Conference Tennis Champion in 1965) to BED, was an acknowledgement of some sort from Macalester that would eliminate any

debate. I contacted the Alumni Relaons Oce at Macalester and spoke with Associate Director, Damond Dean (M 91). I asked that

he pull both the 1965 and 1966 MAC Yearbooks and turn to the tennis pages. He did. He said there was nothing but pictures in the

1965 yearbook (sort of like Hamlines Liner for 1958-1960), but the 1966 Yearbook spoke specically to the 1965 tennis year (see

below). I asked Daymond to scan the page and e-mail me a .pdf version (he did) and I forwarded the document to Steve Wilkenson.

Steves response (see top e-mail on previous page) was immediate that other informaon I sent to him (see previous pages) PLUS

.vericaon from Macalester records proves that Hamline was the 65 MIAC Tennis champion, not Macalester. However, the

following page provides the clincher (3 colleges now agree that Hamline was the Conference Champion). Connued on next page

Tribute to Steve Wilkinson: Yes, a coach can make a dierence ! Wilkinson arrived at Gustavus as a religeon professor in 1970 . He was asked if

he would be willing to voluntarily coach the tennis team. Steve had played collegiate tennis at the University of Iowa where he nished second at

#1 doubles at the Big Ten Championships as a senior. The rest is history. Steve became the winningest coach in the history of collegiate mens tennis

(Divisions I, II, and III, and NAIA) over 39 years. Wilkinsons teams won 35 MIAC tles and 2 NCAA Division III tles (1980 and 1982). His players claim

6 naonal doubles and 4 naonal singles tles. He coached 46 players to 87 ITA All -America honors, 103 players to 226 All-Conference honors, and 5

CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. His teams achieved an overall record of 929-279 (.768%) and a MIAC mark of 334-1 (.997%). Wilkinson also played

compeve tennis for many years aer college and ranked #1 in the US in the 45, 50, 55 and 60 and over divisions. He represented the US in the Dub

Cup, Perry Cup and Austria Cup compeon winning the world championship in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1989 and nished second in Berlin, Germany

in 1992. Steve was inducted into the Iowa Tennis Hall of Fame (1974), Northern Tennis Associaon Hall of Fame (1983) and the US Tennis Associaon

Missouri Valley Hall of Fame (1999). Steve rered in 2009 as Gustavus Tennis coach due to an illness. But, he and his wife Barbara connue to work

with the Tennis and Life Camps (TLC) which he foundedthe largest tennis camp in one locaon in the US. AND, with no strings aached, Steve help

ME (a total stranger) to establish that Hamline was in fact the MIAC 1965 Tennis Conference Champions. Thank YOU Steve.

Now read the 2nd, 3rd and 4th paragraphs of the Saint Johns document under 1965, or as noted below:

The team started out well with a series of four consecutive victories, then had a few disappointing triangulars, but in the last partof the season was strong enough to compete for the conference crown at Macalester.Nevertheless, Hamline won the MIACtitle. In a spirited review of the season, Arth, who wrote as well as he played tennis, commented:"Even as I look back onour past season, I still cannot possibly see how Hamline won the thing. And now that the season is over, I still feel thatman for man we were the best team in the conference.(Record,May 26, 1965).The conference record for the season was 6-2, with a third place ranking in the MIAC.

There was little reported about the MIAC tournament, won by Hamline.Rain interrupted the finals, which had to be

completed in the Macalester field house. Tom Arth, top-seeded St. John's player, lost in the finals to Shipman of Macalester.

John VandeNorth won two rounds before being defeated in the semi-finals. Michael Musty, a tenacious competitor, won first

place in the consolation match.

SUMMARY / CONCLUSION / ACTIONQueson: What / Who supports Hamlines Claim that they, rather than Macalester, won the 1965 MIAC Tenni

Conference Championship and that MIAC records (website and Wikipedia) should be changed ?

Hamline University is in possession of a 1965 tennis trophy

Members of the 1965 Team were each given a trophy

Hamlines yearbook (Liner) states Hamline was the champ

Hamlines bullens (Oracle) states Hamline was the champ

The St. Paul Pioneer Press states Hamline was the champ

Macalesters yearbook states they were NOT the champs

St Johns publicaon Scoreboardstates Hamline was champ

Steve Wilkinson, rered Gustavus Tennis coach / historian

and winningest coach in college history believes Hamline

won the 1965 Tennis MIAC Conference championship

Conclusion: Hamline University WON the 1965MIAC

Conference Championship in Tennis!

ACTION: In April 2011, we asked the MIAC to correct their

records accordingly (and they did)See Website page at: hp://www.miac-online.org/sports/2007/8/13/mtenrecordbook.aspx?path=mten

Scroll downto 1964, read second paragraph or, as quoted below:

Prior to 1964, a tennis championship was determined entirely on the outcome of th

conference tournament in singles and doubles.According to the new ruling, however,

the winners of singles and doubles were simply declared the individual champions of the

conference, whereas the team championship was to be determined by the number of seas

victories and the state meet. There was no chancefor quibbling in 1964, however, for

Hamline won both the team title by an 8-0 record in the seasonal meets, and won bo

the singles and doubles championships in the tournament.St. John's was runnerup

with a record of seven wins and only one loss(toHamline).As was expected, Hamline andSt. John's dominated the MIAC tournament. St. John's Art Grady won two matches before

losing in the semi-finals to Hamline's Gustafson, the eventual winner in the singles finals.

Subject: 1965 MIAC Championship

Hello Steph, Bob and Bruce,

I want to thank all of you especially Bruce for your me and eort on verifying and trying to recfy the MIAC mens tennis

history regarding the 1965 championship. Based on evidence provided by Bruce, Hamline and vericaon from Macalester,

it is the MIACs ocial decision that Hamline University was indeed the 1965 MIAC mens tennis champion.

As of this morning, I have updated the MIAC Mens Tennis Recordbook on the MIAC Web site to reect this, and have adjusted

each teams total tles and last tle to reect the change as well. You can view that updated page Here:

hp://www.miac-online.org/sports/2007/8/13/mtenrecordbook.aspx

I am saving all documentaon from this process to back up the MIACs decision to list Hamline as the MIAC Champion for 1965, and

this summer I plan to add language to our Web site to clarify the changing nature in which the champion was determined. Thanks

again for all of your work on this and for your help to ensure the MIAC records are accurate. Congratulaons to Bruce and Hamlinefor the 1965 tle, and best of luck moving forward with your Hall of Fame nominaons.
