THE MICHIGAN DAILY i [i ehigan Hosts S NeToday AT MSU GRID PRACTICE: Patched-Up Martin Leads Patched-Up Spartan Offense By BILL ZOLLA Veteran pitcher Al Koch will be on the mound today against Wayne State University as the Michigan baseball team seeks its third straight win. "M" baseball coach Don Lund announced that there would be no changes in his starting lineup when the Wolverines face the Tar- tars at Ferry Field at 3:30 p.m. Same Lineup Lund said that he was going to stick with his present lineup that was victorious over Eastern Michi- gan in its last two outings in an attempt to whip the team into shape for the Conference opener Friday against Michigan State. He added, "Although Koch will -start, I will only use him for three innings. Nick Liakonis and Bob Marcereau will finish up, each hurling three frames also. This will- enable me to decide who will be my starting pitcher against State. Koch was the. winning hurler when the Wolverines whipped Eastern the first time, 4-1. Lia- konis and, Marcereau split the honors, the former going four in- nings, the latter five, in the 12-0' Herrnstein Off To Farm Club John Herrnstein, former Michi- gan football and baseball star, was sent to the Des Moines team of the Three-I minor league baseball team. The big outfieldler, who signed a reported $55,000 contract last February, said he expects to be a starter on the Philadelphia Philies3 farm club. Des Moines' season begin April' 28. Herrnstein is in Ann Arbor at present to make moving arrange- ments for his family. rout in the second clash with the Hurons. Leading off for Michigan will be shortstop Gene Struczewski. He will be followed by center fielder Jack Mogk, who banged out two hits in Saturday's EMC game and scored three runs. Mogk, who was recently dropped from the starting squad, appears to have worked himself back into position by virtue of his, potent hitting. Plate Power, Batting third is first baseman Bill Roman who also garnered two hits in the last contest while driv- ing in a pair of runs. In the clean up slot is third baseman Dave Brown who had a perfect day at the plate with three safeties,,in- cluding a double, and three runs batted in. Following him will be sophomore left fielder Wilbur Franklin, who is gaining valuable experience with each game played. Right fielder John Halstead, catcher Dick Syr- ing, and second sacker Bob Kucher round out the lineup. Wayne State, although beaten 26-6 by Michigan State, is expected to give the Wolverines a good warm-up test before the Big Ten season opens. Lettermen Return Seven lettermen are back from the Tartars' 1958 baseball team which had a successful 12-9 sea- son. The bulk of State's experience rests in the catching position where Jerry Montecillo and Ray Indreica lettered as catchers last The other half of the battery is noticably weak as evidenced by the Spartan trouncing; only Bob Wright saw service as a hurler last year. Byron Kelley will start at first base; newcomer Larry Cook will begin at second, and George White will open at third. Two lettermen Jerry DiPaola and Larry Thow, and yearling John Hassinger make up the outfield. By JIM BENAGH Special to The Daily EAST LANSING - Michigan State Football Coach Duffy Daugherty has turned to a patched-up offense in hopes of putting Sparttan football back in its usual glory again. The fullback is Blanche Martin, a well-built 190-pounder, who was almost counted out of a football career just 11 months ago when he received a severe knee injury. But the senior speedster was back in form again Saturday ks; State held its initial scrimmage ofw its spring drills. Martin scored one touchdown and broke away from; the defensive line for several other good jaunts as he worked with the first team against third stringers. He showed no trace of the injury, durin the scrimmage, although he admitted later he was tiring fast. "But the knee didn't bother me at all," Martin said, "and this scrimmage was the first big test." Daugherty added that Martin's recovery was pleasantly unique to him. "I can't remember when a player came back from such major in- jury," recalled Daugherty, "and didn't favor the injury at all. We won't scrimmage him too much, though, because he's already proven. Martin is expected to team with Dean Look, moved to quarterback from left half, to serve as the offensive punch in the Spartan's rebuilt double-wing offense. Daugherty is quite confident that both will be able to handle the chores come next fall., Right now, Look -who never played quarterback before - is playing varsity baseball. But he does work out once or twice each week with the gridders. Sideline observers are leery about the move' because Daugherty says the offense "takes a lot of timing" and "is the best passing offense in football." , Daugherty, like his fellow re- builder Bump Elliott of Michigan, is searching his newcomers for first- and second-string units. But" the Spartan mentor is doubtful about the squad as a whole. "We had the smanest number of athletic scholarship freshmen in the Big Ten," he said, pointing out that 12 of the original 41 prep- sters who signed scholarship agree- ments went to other (non-Con- ference) schools. I T "We're just going to take our young kids," Daugherty continued, "and scrimmage and scrimmage and scrimmage-and pray." Grid Coaches Talk Tonight Two eras of Michigan football will be represented this evening in a talk in the multi-purpose room of the Undergraduate Library. Former coach Bennie Ooster- baan and first year mentor Bump Elliott will appear in a Union- sponsored event, speaking on "Football at Michigan." The two coaches will give pre- pared speeches, and then will open the lecture to questions from the audience. The informal talk will get underway at 7:30 p.m.- A PATCHED-UP SPARTAN--Blanche' Martin, who was to be the key to Michigan 'State's offense last year, rubs over the knee he injured 11 months ago. He has earned his fullback position and is ready to go again. MacKay Holds Erratic Tennis Ranky fs Ma or League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pet.

By FRED KATZ Will former Michigan tennis ace Barry MacKay always remain one step short of true greatness? Based strictly on the record, it's beginning to look that way. In the past few months, head- lines proclaiming "MacKay Up- set" have been abundant. Loses to Freshman Often times it's been difficult to justify the Davis Cupper's number three ranking in the nation, es- pecially after losses like he suf- fered last Tuesday at the hands of Neal Marcus, a 17-yr.-old Rice In-j stitute freshman. MacKay was going after his second. straight title in the River Oaks tennis tournament at Hous- ton, Texas, but fell to a virtual unknown instead. However, at least one person still has faith in the lanky 23-yr.- old from Dayton, O. Bill Murphy, who can claim a large share of the credit for Mac- Kay's rise to national court prom- inence, says, "Actually Barry hasn't done as badly as one might think. If he hasn't lived up to ex- pectations, it's because people have expected too much of him. "But when a player makes the Davis Cup team at the age of 22, you can't say he isn't among the best," continues the Michigan coach. Top Five MacKay's former teacher ranks him in the world's top five. But MacKay's days in the select circle appear numbered if he doesn't lick the inconsistency that has always plagued him. The ex-Wolverine started to make tremendous improvement in his senior year and went on to take the NCAA singles title, whip- ping -"Texas' Sammy Giammalva in the finals. Giamnialva has since beaten his rival more times than not. Murphy cites two reasons for. MacKay's apparent present de- cline. "For one," he says, "Barry is in the Army now and naturally doesn't get the opportunity to play nearly as much as he needs to." Wild Style The other stems back to his style of play. MacKay is a wild, unsteady player. He relies on an overpowering serve rather than the finesse used by such men as Australians Ashley Cooper and Mal Anderson, both of whom beat MacKay in the Cup matches. In a way, the slam-bang player like MacKay can be likened to the fast-ball pitcher. When he's on, few can stop him. When he's not, you usually can count on him beating himself. According to the form chart, MacKay should have several more years ahead of him before he reaches his peak. Jack Kramer and Pancho Gonzales hit their best in,their late 20's. "Right now it's difficult to say whether Barry can get much bet- ter," says Murphy. "He's just go- ing to have to play more and become more consistent." It's a puzzling thing to deter- mine why some hit the ceiling in a certain sport and others miss it by inches. But of this most observors are certain: It might not hurt Barry MacKay to take a quick glance behind him every so often. Seeing all those youngsters on the move might be all the push he needs to reach his niche among the all- time tennis greats.

William YOUR CAMPUS CLEANER 0 I By GARY WRIGHT Cooley House of East Quad, de- fending "A" and "B" residence halls softball champions, moved another step closer to annexing its second straight titles by nipping Reeves, 10-9, in "A" and Michigan, 24-3, in "B." Seven Runs in First Although moving out fast with seven tallies in the first inning, Cooley was unable to relax as Reeves came back strong, scoring four markers in the third to knot the score at seven all. Led by home runs by Art Gnu- wuch and pitcher Paul Springer, Cooley refused to clutch and went on to wrap up the game. A home run by Henry Solomon and doubles by Edward Fronczak, William Stoll and Donald Tracten- ber boosted the "B" team to its easy victory. Jerry Koch led Hinsdale to a 14-13 victory over Huber by blast- in out a round tripper and two doubles. Van Tyne posted a 12-9 victory over Williams. Leading the way with two doubles was Andy Carri- gan. The pitching of Stave Kercho and a triple by Roger Baker gave Gomberg an easy 11-2 trouncing of Anderson.
