,14, 1964 'M' Nine To Test Pitchers at U. of D. r,., . By TOM WEINBERG "We really need these four games this week to get a good look at tle pitchers," Michigan base- ball coach Moby Benedict said yes- terday. The game today at the Univer- sity of Detroit is the first of five games in the next nine days that the Wolverines, now 5-9, will play, tuning up for the Big Ten opener at Wisconsin a week from Friday. "Clyde (Barnhart) did a real nice job for us Saturday," Bene- dict said, referring to the seven- inning shutout pitched against Central Michigan by the junior southpaw, "He'll probably throw against Western Michigan Wednesday, and Carl Welch will go against De- troit," he said. /-/' "We'll probably see (Arnie) Jent for Detroit," the coach said. Jent, a 6'4" righthander from the De- troit sandlots is the backbone of the Titans' staff. Welch, a righthanded sopho- more, was bombed both times he started on the Arizona spring va-i cation trip. Currently he supports- an unenviable 9.67 earned run average. No Changes Benedict says that he won't be making any changes in the lineup that brought a split with Central Michigan Saturday. The infield will be sophomore Chan Simonds at first, senior Tom (Butch) Laslo at second, captain Dave Campbell at short, and jun- ior George Skaff at third. In the outfield, Earl Meyers, Ron Tate and Bob Gilholley will be in left, center and right, while sophomore catcher Ted Sizemore will be behind the plate. Saturday's first game with Cen- tral was one that Benedict said could have been completely dif- ferent from the 6-1 loss it was, had just a few breaks gone the other way. "We hit a lot of balls real well that were right at them," he said. "And by the same token, if you added up about four of their hits, they wouldn't go past the shortstop," he added. Starts at 3:30 The game today at the U-D Field will start at 3:30, as will the game at Kalamazoo tomorrow. Saturday, the Eastern Michigan Hurons will be at Ferry Field at 1 p.m. for a doubleheader. Next week, the Wolverines will face Notre Dame at South Bend on Thursday, then travel to Madi- son for the Big Ten opener on Friday, and to Evanston for the first conference doubleheader against Northwestern. Ron Tate, the Wolverines' cen- terfielder, remains the team's leading hitter as his two-for-six performance Saturday brought his average to .326 over the 11 games he has played. Palmer Eyes Grand Slam AUGUSTA, Ga. () - Arnold Palmer, given what he calls a new life in golf, again has fixed his sights on the elusive professional grand slam now that he has won the first of the four big ones, the Masters. "If I win the U.S. Open, I'll definitely play in the British Open at St. Andrews," the millionaire par wrecker from Latrobe, Pa., said yesterday. "If I don't win our Open, y plans ae a bit indef- 2 finite. "This much is true. I still have my heart set on winning that grand slam. I'll keep trying as long as I can swing a club." The professional slam consists of the Masters,- the U.S. and Brit- ish Opens and the American PGA. To win these four in a single year would be a feat, Palmer in- sists, comparab'le and probably superior to Bob Jones' grand slam -the U.S. and British Opens and the U.S. and British amateur-in 1930. Little Time to Adjust "The U.S. Open, British and PGA will be played in the space of a little more than a month," Palmer said. 'l be going from the big American ball to the small British ball and back to the Ame- rican ball with only a week to get adjusted. It's tough." The American Open is sched- uled June 18-20 at the Congres- s,onal Club in Washington, D.C. The' British Open will be played at historic St. Andrews July 8-10 and the PGA at Columbus, Ohio, July 16-19. Palmer, who led every round in scoring a six-stroke victory here Sunday for the fourth Masters championship, said he would skip the next two tour tournaments at Houston and San Antonio and make his next competitive ap- pearance at the Tournament of Champions at Las Vegas May 1. During $he next two weeks he will rest, he said, and probably play a couple of practice rounds at Congressional. . The closest he ever came to the grand slam was in 1960 when he won the Masters and U.S. Open and missed out by a stroke in the British Open .at St. Andrews. He has never won the PGA. The powerfully-built, 34-year- old glamor boy of golf acknowl- edged that his Masters triumph, coming on the heels of a six- month victory drouth, gave him a "new life." "I feel like going out and play- ing again," he added. He said he was beginning to be bugged by the fact that he hadn't won a maor title since the British Open in 1962 and hadn't scored a tour victory since last October. He was stung by hints he was through. "When I teed up the ball the first day here, there was a big question mark going around in my mind," he added. "I wondered- as some people were saying - whether I had really lost my edge." The 28th Masters answered that question decisively. He shot 69, 68, 69, 70 for 276, two off Ben Hogan's record, and finished six shots ahead of Jack Nicklaus and Dave Marr. He passed the half- million dollar mark in career win- lnings. Fstyle champion PflMTIMF3ITI c WILL START SAME LINEUP: Limited Outdoor Action Hurts Netmen 1 By JIM TINDALL Coach Bill Murphy would have gladly saved some Florida sun- shine and brought it back to Ann Arbor if he had known 'that the weather was to be as adverse for tennis as it has been lately. Since the team's return from "The Land of Sunshine" they have only been able to work outside on a few occasions. Watching his team work out on the wood of the Intramural Gym, Murphy points out dismally, "Our clay courts aren't even ready for play yet. They take a lot of sunshine, and we haven't had it." "We had a tournament indoors this winter, and this combined with the team's performance against Miami and Princeton are all we have to go on," the veteran coach explained. "As a result we will probably start the same line- up that we did against Miami this weekend." Michigan opens its con- ference season this Friday against Wisconsin and Indiana. The lineup that Murphy referred to was Harry Fauquier, Karl Hed- rick, John Fraser, Hal Lowe, Brian Flood and Jim Swift. Of these six, three are juniors, Lowe, Fraser and Flood. Of the ten .men seeking varsity births, five are juniors. The other two being George Russell and Bo Bar- ker. "We have a lot of juniors this year," Murphy explained yester- day, "and they should give the team a lot of strength." Fraser compiled a 5-2 mark in conference play last season when he played second 'singles in the absence of captain Harry Fauquier. He lost in the first round of the tQurnament to Northwestern's Ken Paulson, the eventual third singles titlist. Fraser is presently in the third spot, and has, according to Murphy, "a lot of potential." Lowe is presently holding down the number four slot on the team. He lost only one match last year in regular season dual meets, and that was in the Northwestern meet. He also teamed up with Harry Fauquier to bring home the second doubles championship. "The Visor" is termed by Murphy as "a real hard hitter." In contrast to Lowe's hard hit- ting, Murphy calls Flood "a good retriever who is pretty steady." Flood only lost one conference meet last season. That defeat came in the Big Ten finals when he lost to Bill Rice of Northwestern. Flood is the present possessor of the number five spot on the varsity ladder. Murphy points out that "He has improved an awful lot." Also competing for spots are juniors Bo Barker, who finished the season last year with a 5-2 mark at fifth singles. He filled this gap when Fauquier played in the Pan-American games. After the Canadian's return, Flood alter- nated with senior Ron Linclau in the sixth spot. In addition, George Russell, who has little Big Ten ex- perience, is in competition for a varsity slot. Murphy calls this year's team, "a little stronger than last year's. We have better balance all the way down the line." Murphy's men are hoping against hope that the weather will change, and that spring will comp for good to Ann Arbor, so that they can get outside in prepara- tion for this Saturday's conference quadrangular meet at Columbus, with Ohio State, Indiana and Wis- consin. The West Coast games will be televised on a pay-as-you-watch basis by Subscription Television Inc. "We've been talking about it plenty," Kubek said. "Not only this club, but everywhere. The whole subject has been coming to a boil all spring long. "The kind of thinking we've been doing has not been irrespon- sible. The facts are simply this- we ought to get a piece of the extra money from pay TV since we are the performers who make the show go. "Now is there anything more fair than that?" Kubek said the players want "a fair share of any extra money which may result from pay TV." * -.'I t : *, AN UNPA RA LLE LED EXPERIENCE "A flaming editorial.'In White America' can laugh and mourn, but most of all it is filled with indignation and it comes amus- ingly and passionately alive." -Taubman, New York Times Utilizing excerpts from actual documents, six actors :re. create the history of the American Negro.
