APRIL 28, 1964 THE. MICHIGAN DAILY" APRIL 28, 1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY THE SPECTATOR by Tom Rowland Michigan Faces Notre Dame Nine Call From the Baseline: 'Harry and Who?' Goliath. Remember? He had one hell of a great forehand smash. O.K., so call him Riessen, call him Senkowski, call him Graebner -little Harry will throw rocks at him. Make that sling a Ken Rose- wall autograph model Slazenger, grip 4%" with a medium weight frame, nylon reinforced gut valued at 16 dollars a stringing. Make the mineral Wilson Championship fuzz-and you've got Fauquier, pronounced FAWK-EE-AIR or FOKE-EE-AY, depending on whether you mispronounce it or give it the French savoir faire treatment. I sat and watched Harry .powder a few overheads ("my weak point") at practice last week, and my mind drifted back to three years ago when I first mistook Harry for the ball boy. Just 5'" of Canadian firewater, someone once said that around the courts in Vancouver, B.C., they used touse Harry to measure the height of the net. "Being small is no big thing," quips Harry in typical Fauquier fashion. "The only time I wish I +hwere 12 inches taller is when (I come rushing to the net, reach for a high outside passing shot, and-wham!-there it goes, three courts down." So how do you figure a mite like Harry in the number one slot-captain two years running,- ex-Canadian junior champ, and defending Big Ten second doubles .4w...a..f w title-holder? r "Concentration. And a heck of .. *a lot of running. I'd rather loaf. But when you lack the size you've got to make up for it someway. HARRY FAUQUIER \Its too bad." Heh, heh, but it's true. "Harry has to take two steps to every one of mine," says third man John Fraser, who's the tallest on the team, "but he's so darn quick on his feet that his size is actually an advantage to him at the net. He can make a fast shift from side to side-doesn't get his feet all tangled up," Fraser, also a native of Canada, has been competing with or against Harry for the' past five years. "Ken Rosewall isn't much more than an inch or two taller than Harry -it really isn't a big man's game. Most tennis players average only about 5'9" or 5'10". The only big disadvantage is facing the lob at the net." Harry agrees. "Overheads are my weakness-and I hate prac- ticing them. But I worked on it all winter and I feel better now hitting them." View From the Top...- The Wolverine captain played second fiddle his first two years to Ray Senkowski and moved into the top spot this spring with Senkowski's graduation. Harry swept through the northern schedule of his sophomore year without a defeat and then took home the second singles Big Ten championship at Minneapolis. Teaming with Senkowski in the first doubles of the tourney brought home a runner- up trophy after the Wolverine pair lost to Northwestern's Marty Riessen-Jim Ericson combo in a final three-set battle. Last year Harry left the team after the southern tour in the early spring to compete for Canada in th' Pan-American games, contracted a case of the flu on his returr ,nd didn't finally join the Wolverines again until the last two r ts of the season. And then a great homecoming. He f' in three sets to Michigan State's Tony O'Donnell when the Spart' , upset Coach Bill Murphy's Big Ten champs, then ran into cannonball soph Clark Graebner P -fresh out of the Northwestern, tennis vats-who dropped Harry. 6-4, 6-2. . "I thik the South American trip did me more harm than good," comments Harry. "It gave me a late start-if .I had played here I would have had 10 to 15 matches of experience. As it was I came back a bit match-shy.": 'Tuned up in time for defense of his second singles title in the Big Tens at Evanston, Harry swept through the opening rounds, lost .p out in the finals to-yeh-Graeb ner in three sets. The Wolverine little man paired with Hal Lowe to ,{ }ham, ; '...v snatch the second doubles medal as Michigan, finished second to d Northwestern in the final score GOLIATH tally.- This year around the Wolverines have to face an even rougher go to the top of the heap with the Wildcats still Riessen-Graebner strong and with Indiana and Michigan State looking tough in matches so far. And for Fauquier, the Big Ten tournament will be a forest of Goliaths. Riessen, Jamieson, Power - plenty of people to throw rocks at. With only two home meets on tap for the Wolverines this spring, Michigan net fans will get a chance to see Harry in action against Michigan State and Ohio State this spring. He's a hard guy to miss and great player to watch. Renowned for his constant stream of vocal interjections, Harry comments that "when I was a sophomore I used to do a lot more talking to myself-I didn't want anybody to win a point against me and I used to get all tensed up. I seem to be enjoying the game more now." Fauquier's shots are so smooth that it's almost to his dis- advantage. "Most players usually 'junk' a few shots over," says Fraser, "and this throws off the opponent's timing. Not Harry. He hits the ball so well that it actually makes it easier for the opponent to time his game." And, like Goliath, he's got one hell of a forehand smash. By SCOTT BLECH A "hustling" Michigan baseball team will run onto the field to- day to face Notre Dame - the team that was the first victim of the Wolverines' successful road trip last week. Sophomore Carl Welch will be on the mound' for the Wolverines and will be trying for, the fifth straight complete game perform- ance by a Michigan hurler. Last Thursday, Paul Schuldt hurled 2 three-hit shutout against the Irish at South Bend. Michigan then traveled to Wisconsin where Clyde Barnhart blanked the Badgers on four hits in the Big Ten opener. Coach Moby Benedict's Big Ten Big Ten Standings,, IVW L Pct.

Michigan now has a season iec- ord of 9-10, and prior to these last four games Wolverine hurlers had only had two complete games to their credit. Benedict seemed very pleased after Saturday's twin-killing of the Wildcats, 7-1, 8-1. He attributed the victories to "an all-out team effort with plenty of hustle." In the seventh inning of the night cap at Northwestern, Ted ,Sizemore hit a ground ball to third baseman Bill Hansen. Hansen picked up the ball and threw wild- ly to first base, enabling Size- more to go to second. The offi- cial scorer gave Sizemore credit for a base hit and gave Hansen an error for allowing the Michigan catcher to reach second base. The scorer explained this by saying: "The runner (Sizemore) was run- ning quickly toward first and it would have been a close play if the throw had been good." Sizemore's speed is just one instance of the team's "100 per cent effort" which according to Benedict was the rea- son for the victories. Neither Wahl nor Pemberton were very generous to the home team in Saturday's double victory. Wahl, the junior rightha'nder from White Plains, N.Y., celebrated his birthday a day early as he limit- ed Northwestern to one run on six hits. The Wolverine hurler notched eight strikeouts by throw- ing an assortment of sliders, curves and a "sneaky" fastball, accord- ing to catcher Sizemore. Pemberton, a junior who had pitched only nine and two-thirds innings in Michigan's first 18 games, whipped the Wildcats by fanning six and scattering four hits. The diamondmen are now tied for first place in the Big Ten with Purdue at 3-0. The co-lead- ers will clash at Ferry Field Fri- day afternoon. AT SOUTH BEND: M' Netmen Battle Irish; Seek To Rise over .500 By JIM TINDALL Michigan's netmen hit the road for the fourth time this season to- day, as they journey to South Bend to tangle with the Irish of Notre Dame. Coach Bill Murphy will use cap- tain Harry Fauquier in the first slot who will probably oppose sophomore Raul Catthain from. Mexico City. Soph Karl Hedrick, who sports Rug by Club LoesTwo The Michigan Rugby Club ab- sorbed two disastrous defeats this weekend to bring their spring rec- odto 4-6-1. Seven players, five of these from Michigan, received injuries seri- ous enough to require hospitaliza- tion. The injuries ranged from scalp wounds to internal bleeding. The spirited and fast Illinois squad, whom the Michigan men had previously defeated, 18-0, turned the tables and came away with an 11-6 victory. The Blue ruggers threatened to score sever- al times, but then the tight Illini defense held. The Michigan second team, playing with several new players, was soundly defeated by a pow- erful Waukegan Rugby Club, 16-5, Again the Blue were frustrated in their attempts to score as Wauke- gan's superior kicking proved de- cisive. The weekend activity climaxes the Club's home schedule. Next weekend thehruggers will journey to Chicago for games with Min- nesota and the University of Chi- cago-the Minnesota game being played for the "Little Brown Jug" of Rugby. welcome - MARLIN PEMBERTON shows the pitching form that scored Michigan's fourth straight victory last Saturday. The junior hurler limited Northwestern to four hits as he turned in the Wolverines' fourth complete pitching performance of the road trip. a season mark of 9-3, will play on the second court. Hedrick's losses came at the hands of Mi- ami at first and second singles and Indiana at first doubles. John Fraser, one of the team's five juniors will once again play at third singles, and will team up with Hedrick to compose the first doubles combo. Fraser holds a 7-5 season standard. Hale Lowe, 4-6, back in action after a minor illness will return to his customary spot at fourth singles, and will probably team up with Fauquier to compose the second doubles team. Brian Flood, another junior, will tackle Notre Dame's fifth man. Flood is 4-2 on the season. Jim Swift, 3-7, Bill Dixon, 3-7, and George Russell, 1-0, will fight it out for the sixth singles spot and third doubles team. Murphy expects the Irish to start about the same lineup that they did last year when the Wol- verines topped the Irish 5-4 in Ann Arbor in a tightly-contested match. Michigan has a season mark of 3-3, but the netters have had to face several tough teams early in the season with limited outdoor action. The squad journeys to Evanston for a, major quadrangular meet with Minnesota, Purdue and host Northwestern on May 1-2. The next home contest for the Wolver- ines will be May 5, when the Spartans come down from East Lansing for a meet at 2:30 p m. HONDA.
