IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa men’s basketball All-American Carl Cain passed away on Sunday.  He was 89.

Cain played for the Hawkeyes from 1954-56, where led the program to back-to-back Final Fours in 1955 and 1956.  The Freeport, Illinois, native earned first-team All-America honors during his senior season in 1956 when he was part of the “Fabulous Five” – a group that led the Hawkeyes to an NCAA runner-up finish.

Cain was named to the all-tournament team at NCAA Regionals and at the Final Four both seasons.

During his three seasons as a Hawkeye, Cain helped the program to 56 wins, including 35 Big Ten victories and two Big Ten regular season titles (1955, 1956).  The team was the league runner-up in 1954.

Cain was a three-time All-Big Ten honoree, earning first-team honors in 1956, and he was twice named Iowa’s Most Valuable Player (1954, 1956). He finished his career with 1,054 points and 501 rebounds.

Following the 1956 season, Cain was a member of the United States National Team that won a gold medal in Melbourne, Australia.  He was also selected in the 1956 NBA Draft by Rochester with the 49th overall pick.

Cain, whose No. 21 is retired in the Iowa men’s basketball program, is a member of the Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame (1989) and the Des Moines Register State of Iowa Sports Hall of Fame.

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Ernie Els broke a logjam at the top with an eagle on the par-five 13th hole to take the lead for good as the South African won the Principal Charity Classic at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines. Els finished with a final round of seven under 65 to close the tournament at 21 under.

For Els it was his fourth win on the PGA Tour Champions and his first this season.

After holding the final day lead and coming up short in his last two tournaments Els finally got over the hump.

While Els eagled the 13th, defending champ Stephen Ames missed the green on the par three 14th. He saved par but it was a big turning point as he finished two strokes back in second place.

It was another successful week at Wakonda for Ames. The native of Canada was in search of his third win in four years. *

In his first season in the tour Heath Slocum enjoyed his best finish. He shot a final round of five under 67 to finish in a tie for sixth.

Slocum could have challenged for the lead but missed birdie putts on 14 and 17.
