THE MICHIGAN DAILY THMiSDAY- APWL' .. IHG NflIYTIIgy VART i~r7 Ll n aHr a1sL 4, 1 Wolverij Lack Hc By TOM WITECKI Michigan's improving baseball team, winner of its last three games, is still looking for its first home run after four home contests at FerryField. The Wolverines blasted five round - trippers in seven games down South, but haven't smashed one drive over the four-foot picket fence that bounds the local sta- dium's outfield. Head Baseball Coach Don Lund expressed both surprise and con- cern over his club's recent lack of home run. punch. 7 - DAVE BROWN Michigan's top hitter ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF OPTOMETRY announces that applications for ad- mission to its classes beginning September 8, 1959 are now being received. 3-year course of professional study leading to the degree, Doctor of Optometry REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRANCEj 2 years (60 sem. hours or equiv- alent qtr. hours) is, specified db- eral arts and sciences.

Thus, it really is unusual that we haven't been able to click for at least one big blow since we've been back," he said. More Punch In Florida At the Florida State Tourna- ment, Michigan displayed a great deal more batting punch than it has at home. Dave Brown and Bill Roman had two homers apiece and Dick Syring belted one. n In addition, the pitching the Wolverines have been facing, with one exception, has not been of the same caliber they'll hit against once the Big Ten season begins. Only University of Detroit's sophomore star Gary Mettie, who set the Wolverines down with one earned run and eight scattered hits in winning at Ferry Field two weeks ago, can be judged as a really top-flight hurler. Good Team Average While thehome nine hasnbeen lacking in home run punch in recent contests, it has managed to compile a respectable team bat- ting average of .284. Leading the Michigan batters is hustling third baseman Dave Brown, hittirig an even .400. The junior from Battle Creek also leads the team in the all-impor- tant RBI column, with 11 to his credit. Sophomore Wilbur Franklin, the team's regular left fielder although he has appeared in only four con- tests, follows Brown with 6 hits in 16 attempts for a .375 average. First baseman Roman, one of the many junior lettermen on the squad, is third with a .348 mark. Capable of Long Ball These three players are among several in the Michigan lineup whom Lund feels are capable of hitting the long ball.

Another powerful bat that has been silent this season is that of catcher Jim Dickey. The senior backstop,' who last season was one of the Wolverines' leading hitters and led the team in RBI's, has ex- perienced a poor spring thus far, batting only .259 with just 2 RBI's. Lund, along with Michigan fans, is hoping that Dickey and the other potentially-powerful batters will finally burst forth with power- hitting as well as base hits when the Wolverines meet Michigan State in the Conference opener Friday at Ferry Field.

Five midwestern universities plus host Michigan will vie for the 5PORT -WHYS w ,.., s lot For Loyalty .. ONLY 100 STUDENTS showed up at the Undergraduate Library Tuesday evening to hear Bennie Oosterbaan and Bump Elliott talk about Michigan football. But the slim crowd got two full hours of spirited discussion for its loyalty. Oosterbaan, in his first year as Athletic Department Public Rela- tions Director, left no doubts that he will be able to handle the job. He answered every question with his usual sincerity, and often added a touch of humor, even though some of the questions were quite pointed-and a few of the students were obviously "out to get" the former coach. Elliott's casual personality, plus his modest and sincere manner when discussing his new head coaching position, was also heightened by a touch of wit. The combination succeeded in answering questions so proficiently that the gathering hesitated to break up even after two hours. The results, of course, were a number of comments that deserve repeating: Oosterbaan started the evening off by informing the group that when the Union first planned the session it was to be entitled "What's Wrong with Michigan Football?" "Bump and I were quick to assure them that simply 'Michigan Football' would be a suitable title," the former coach explained. Elliott happily pointed out that there are more players out for spring practice than he ever expected. "But this has its drawbacks too," he explained. "We have to work with all of them-and added to this is the job of getting new coaches used to the setup, and teaching everyone a new offense. "But we will never cut anyone from the squad, I believe the foot- ball team belongs to the student body, and everyone has the right to try out. Of course, they won't all play-and many will drop off-but I won't cut them." * *. * * Elliott was dubious about trying to evaluate the team, since he feels he isn't in a position to as yet. "If I say anything, it will have to be that we are a little short of talent," he said. "But the coaching staff is prepared to make up for that. We're a pretty prolific group-all six of us have at least three children. If we can't recruit players, we'll grow our own. Our only hope is that we can hold the job that long." * * * * After both Oosterbaan and Elliott tried to explain the lack of a pass defense last fall by "a lack of the proper instinct and conscien- tiousness on the players," the young head coach removed all doubt: "Well, I was responsible for pass defense, so they simply got rid of me-now they have a new backfield coach, and we can all hope he will do a better job." A number of references were made to the Michigan-Iowa series. Elliott has a special interest in this traditional game, since he spent four years on the Hawkeye coaching staff. "We hadn't lost to them since 1924," Oosterbaan pointed out, "until last fall, when Bump was on our side." "But I don't want to take the credit for that," Elliott replied. "It's bad enough when I think about all the work I did recruiting and coaching guys like Fleming (Willie, All-Big Ten halfback and star of the Rose Bowl game), Jauch (Ray, leading ground gainer in the Big Ten), Jeter (Bob, top ground gainer among second-string backs in the Big Ten), and, of course, Duncan (Randy, All-American and All-Big Ten quarterback). "No, I won't try to schedule California," Elliott answered to one question. (His brother Pete is head coach for the Bears.) "I didn't plan to get them on the schedule. There's no need for brothers to put each other out of a job." Spirit Makes a Difference . . WHEN ASKED if spirit in the student body had any effect on the team, Elliott had a dual response. "When the boys are on the field," he said, "they are too intent on the game. You can't tell how interested the fans are then. If a guy is out there to play the best game possible, the crowd won't make the slightest difference. "But off the field the campus spirit can make a difference. If the students talk about the team, and seem' interested, the players will know it and appreciate it." It's perhaps a shame that more students weren't there Tuesday night to hear this response. The Union tried something new--a talk on football-and it's hard to tell if it was a success or, a failure. There were only 100 students there, out of a possible 20,000-plus, which is a little discouraging. But, on the other hand, those who were there seemed to enjoy it-and one can be sure that they all know a little bit more about football at Michigan. { a1 '' I-M SLUGFESTS: SAE Takes Double Bill; TDC Crushes TE,33-1 A07 E. Liberty St. (Next to Michigan Theatre) Phone NO 2-4786 for Michigan Daily Classified Ads By ROY RHAESA Sigma Alpha Epsilon fired both barrels at opponents yesterday as its "A" and "B" softball teams took the measure of the opposition. In the "A" contest SAE beat Sigma Phi Epsilon, 9-4, and in the "B" tilt Phi Gamma Delta was swamped, 25-2. The latter was not the only high scoring game, however. The "B" clash between Sigma Alpha Mu and Delta Sigma Phi, too, was highlighted by power hitting. The Sammies with a 25-hit at- tack, including seven home runs, romped over the Delt Sigs, 34-1. Stars for the winners were Lowell Stone, who hit three home runs, and Mandel Schenk, who homered twice. Also totaling 25 hits was Theta Delta Chi in its "B" win over Tau Kappa Epsilon, 33-1. For the win- ners, Bob McMahon homered three times and Emory Griffin twice. Other "A" action saw Zeta Beta Tau trounce Acacia, 17-4, and Zeta Psi outscore Chi Phi, 16-11. In a close "A" contest, Sigma Phi edged Delta Chi, 13-11. Games were played, however, in which the scores did not run so rampant. In three "A" contests, Phi Sigma Kappa defeated Lamb- da Chi Alpha 11-6, Sigma Chi trimmed Sigma Nu, 6-3, and Psi Upsilon downed Kappa Alpsa Psi, 9-6. traveling silver trophy Saturday and Sunday at Base Line Lake 18 miles from Ann Arbor. The cup is in honor of the two Michigan students who lost their lives on a canoe trip in northern Quebec last September. Club Officers Cary was president of the Mich- igan Sailing Club last year while Price would have been race chair- man this yeair. Otto Scherer, this year's Club president, said he hopes the list of teams will eventually swell to eight. Competing will be University of Detroit, Notre Dame, Wayne State, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Michigan. The Wolverine sailors are heavi- ly favored to keep the cup on the Michigan campus. They have beat- en all of the teams entered at least once so far this season. A skippers' meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday at the racing site with races slated to begin an hour later. Racing Sunday morn- ing will begin at 10:30. 10 Races Slated Ten races are scheduled in each of ten divisions. Dexter Thede, one of the outstanding skippers in the nation, will guide Michigan's Jet 14 sloop in the "A" division while Scherer will skipper the Wolverine craft in the "B" competition. The race course will be either a mile or 11/2 miles, depending upon wind, conditions at the time. This is the heart of the racing season for the Michigan Sailing Club which has been organized since 1938. Two weeks ago the Club won the Purdue Spring Invitational meet with Thede and Ron Sission skip- pering "A" and "B" divisions re- spectively. However, last weekend the Wol- verines fared their worst- in four years. They placed sixth out of 12 entries at the MIT meet.
