THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1962 THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1962 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Jones, Honig Double Trouble KATZENMEYER PREDICTS: Linksters Look to Upswing By BILL BULLARD Michigan's baseball team has 30 double plays in its first 20 games, a better average per game than any major league team last season. The double play combination of Dick Honig and Joe Jones has ac- counted for 15 of the Wolverines' 30 double plays. Honig and Jones have been working on their double play tech- niques together since their fresh- man year, said Coach Don Lund. Both Lund and Assistant Coach Moby Benedict, a former infielder himself, have given special in- struction to the two. Roommates "We've spent a lot of time on them," said Coach Lund, "We wanted them to learn each other's moves." Coach Lund says that he even tries to have them room to- gether on trips. Despite their close cooperation as Michigan team members, Honig and Jones have never played on the same team in the summer. The closest they came to this was when they played on different teams on the Detroit sandlots. The contribution to the team7 that a double play makes is a val- uable one. Coach Lund said about Honig and Jones that, "Our pitch- ers feel real good with that kindJ of support behind them."1 Only twice did a MichiganI double play this season not in- volve either Honig or Jones. Both times the play originated with thej pitcher. Lucky Seven Of the times when both Honig and Jones were in on the double' play, each received the grounder seven times and each relayed the throw to first seven times. The other double play both participat- ed in was started by outfielder Jim Steckley. Honig has been part of a double play seven times without Jones. Jones has done the same six times. Four of his six plays have been relaying the throw to first from third-baseman Jim Newman. Ho- nig has picked up two grounders, made the putout at second tnd thrown to first for the second out. Two other of Honig's plays were relaying the throw from the pitch- er to the first baseman. Triple Play Honig also participated in a rare triple play during the spring trip. In the third game against Arizona State, Catcher Joe Mer- ullo caught a bunt in the air which had been popped up and threw to Honig who doubled the runner off second. Honig then ran down the runner who was off first base and tagged him. The Michigan team has execut- ed three double plays in each of two games and has failed to chalk up a double play in only three games. Arizona State was the vic- tim of the three double play feat in both games. The Wolverines were blanked in the double play column twice by Arizona State and. once by Purdue. The Jones-Honig combination, as well as the exceptionally fine fielding of the rest of the team, fulfills at least part of Don Lund's idea of a good baseball squad. According to Lund, if you get the other team out fast, they can't possibly beat you. By JIM BERGER "I think this golf team will do better than last year's," said Mich- igan coach Bert Katzenmeyer. Katzenmeyer says that the main reason for Michigan's poor per- formance in last week's quadrang- ular meet at Illinois is that "we're not ready to play yet. "Up to this time we've spent all our work on the practice tees," c o n t i n u e d Katzenmeyer, "the thing we have to do now is get out there and play. "Perhaps we've spent too much Major Lea oe Standings time getting our swings in shape and trying to improve on the fun- damental parts," he went on, "but I thought it was necessary. Now we've got to put all we've learned into getting our scores down to what they should be." The Michigan mentor explained that the team as of now is "not in shape to play. "This past week we've begun to play. We've been out on the course every day this week, rain and all, and now we're starting to get ready. "I suppose you can look at the process as a two-phase thing," he explained. "First get your funda- mentals and then apply them. Well, we've spent just about all the time up to now on fundamen- tals; now we're in phase two."

AND SO TO FIRST-Joe Jones, Michigan second baseman, relays the ball to first to complete another double play. Jones and keystone buddy Dick Honig have turned in 15 twin killings so far this year and have been a boon to Wolverine pitchers. Golf Tournament Delayed.

By PETE DiLORENZI Director of Intramural Athletics Earl Riskey has announced that the I-M Golf Tournament, orgin- ally, scheduled for Saturday, May 12, has been postponed to the 19th, The tournament will feature competition among foursomes from residence halls, social fra- ternities, independents, and pro- fessional fraternities. Each hous- ing unit will be permitted to en- ter one foursome. A team's score will be the combined score of its four members. Last year's team winners were Gomberg (residence hall), Sigma Nu (social fraternity), Evans Scholars, (independent), and Nu Sigma Nu, (pro fraternity). The All-Campus individual champion was Don Thompson. Riskey also voiced his hopes that teams would register as soon as possible for the tournanient, point- ing out that early entrants will have first choice of starting times. There will be time for 67 four- somes to compete in the meet. The procedure for picking four- somes is as follows: Each team, upon entering, will designate its four members as one, two, three, and four. The foursomes will then hopefully be formed by matching four number one men, four num- ber two men, etc., so as to keep the deviation from average skill within a foursome at a minmum. Riskey stressed, however, that this manner of selecting four- somnes will be feasible only if teams register early. If not, there will be sufficient time only to throw together foursomes before the tournament. Riskey also announced that the regular-season I-M softball com- Illinois Cager Comes, to 'M' John Clawson, Illinois all- state basketball forward from Naperville, Ill., will enter the Uni- versity of Michigan in September, he has informed Coach Dave Strack.. Clawson, a 6'3", 180-pound ath- lete, is the second all-state cager to enroll at Michigan for the 1962- 63 season. WILL WE DEVELUP THF NFITRON petition is in its final stages and added that on Friday at 5:00, the teams will draw for playoff berths. Explaining the procedure for playoffs, Riskey said there are eleven separate divisions in the softball league, and that the eleven first place finishers will be matched in a single-elimination playoff, as will the eleven second-place teams, etc. Win yourletters in style I ~ 8 FOLLOW THE CROWDS TO CHECKMATEI COME ON IN!
