Illini, Wolverines Feature
Big Ten Diamond Weekend
With their eyes to the sky and
their memories turned back some
362 days, Michigan's diamondmen
travel to East Lansing today to
take on arch-rival Michigan State
In the opener of what could be a
make-or-break three-game week-
end series.
The Wolverines are currently in
a first-place tie in the Big Ten,
sharing the lead with Illinois.
Both teams boast 5-1 conference
records, with Michigan's only loss
coming at the hands of the Illini
by a 1-0 score. The Spartans have
a 2-3 conference mark.
Fisher To Hurl
Ace southpaw Fritz Fisher (-4)
will take the mound for the Wol-
verines; his opponent will probably
be the Spartan's top righthander,
Wes Klewicki (4-0). The remain-
ing two games of the series will
be played here at Ferry Field in a
Saturday twin-bill in which Michi-
gan Coach Don Lund will send
Dave Roebuck, a 4-1 righthander,
and John Kerr, a 4-0 southpaw, to
the mound to oppose Jack Nutter
(2-1) and Gary Ronberg (1-1).
John Elias, a lefthander with a 1-2
mark, may also see starting action
for the Spartans.
A sweep of the series by Michi-
gan would virtually eliminate
State from title contention, 'while
a sweep by the Spartans would
seriously hamper the Wolverines'
championship hopes.
Traditional Series
The series is one of the oldest
in intercollegiate ranks, going back
to 1884. Over the years, the teams
have met 131 times., The Wolver-
ines are far ahead in the overall
won-lost record with 83 wins to
the Spartans' 47. One game ended
in a tie.

uling arrangement is similar to
last year's memorable weekend
series, which turned into a rare
tripleheader, there is only a very
slight chance that the feat will be
repeated this year. Weather fore-
casts for today's game indicate
that it will be sunny, warm, and
practically cloudless. There is,
however, a chance of light showers
occurring late in the game; but it
is only a very one.
Mound Difficulty
MSU Coach John Kobs has had
quite a bit of difficulty getting con-
sistent performances from his'
mound staff. In each of State's
three conference losses, the team?
has had substantial late-inning
leads only to see.them squandered
and finally lost by faltering pitch-
ers.
Hitting, however, is another
matter, and at least in this phase
of his team's performance, he has
confidence. "We're gettinghsome
of the best stick performances
these days we've had in a long
time," he admits.
Lead at Plate
Leading the Spartans at the.
plate is sophomore left fielder Joe
Porrevecchio, a product of Chi-
cago's St. Rita High. The slugging
newcomer is currently pounding
the ball at a .393 clip with three
homers, four doubles, and 14 RBI's.
Kobs also has two other .300-
hitting regulars in his lineup-his
keystone combination of shortstop
Mal. Chilijean (.323) and second
baseman Dennis Ketcham (.314).
The remaider of the State lineup
will probably have Sam Calderone
(.255) at first, Jerry Lumanski
(.291) at third, Jay Bach (.225) in
center, Jeff Abrecht (.381) or Pete
Smith (.250) in right, and either
George Azar (.143) or Gordon
Hjortass (.214) catching. -
Michigan Lineup
Lund will counter with an order
of Joe Jones (.263) at second, Dick
Honig (.338) at short, Ron Tate
(.299) in right, Jim Steckley (.250)
in left, Dennis Spalla (.309) in
center, Joe Merullo (.197) catch-
ing, Dave Campbell (.255) at first,
Harvey Chapman (.295) at third,
and Fisher (.188) pitching. The
Wolverine batting averages do not
include Tuesday's game with De-
troit.
Lund also indicated that his top
three relievers, Wayne Slusher,
Bob Dunston, and Jim Bobel will
probably be ready to see action
against the Spartans if needed.
Today's game starts at 1:30 p.m.
The Saturday doubleheader at
Ferry Field starts at 1:30 p.m.
-Daily-Bruce Taylor
SAFE AT HOME-Joe Merullo slides safely across the plate against Purdue in a home game earlier
this season, while pitcher Dave Roebuck (38) looks on. Michigan plays Michigan State in a three-
game home-and-home series this weekend. The Wolverines travel to East Lansing for today's single
game. Tomorrow's doubleheader will be played at Ferry Field.

eral Manager of the Senators, on a
swap involving unnamed players,
one of which is Piersall.
The trading deadline is May 10.
The Angels, badly in need of a
centerfielder because of the shoul-
der injury that has sidelined Ken
Hunt for weeks, also are talking
trade with the Chicago White Sox.
This deal, informed sources said.

CRAM COURSE NO. 4: BATHYMETRY
Continuing our series of pre-final exam cram courses, today we
take up bathymetry-the study of ocean depths.
Admittedly, this is not a terribly popular course on most
campuses. And small wonder. In the whole world there is only
one bathyscape, and only two people can get into it.
Nevertheless, the study of ocean depths is of great impor-
tance. Why, do you realize that the ocean is by far the world's
largest biological environment? The ocean has more than three
hundred times as much living room as all the continents and
islands combined! Unfortunately, only fishes live in it.
And small wonder. Who'd want to live some place where he
couldn't smoke? Surely not I! I wouldn't give up my good
Marlboro Cigarettes for the Atlantic and the Pacific put to-
gether. Nothing could induce me to forego Marlboro's fine
mellow flavor, Marlboro's clean white filter, Marlboro's flip-top
box that really flips, Marlboro's soft pack that's really soft.
Let others repair to the spacious deeps. Me, I will stick with
my Marlboros and the tiny garret I share with a tympanist.
But I digress. Back to the oceans. The largest, as we know,
is the Pacific, which was discovered by Balboa, a Spaniard of
great vision. To give you an idea of Balboa's vision, he first
saw the Pacific while standing on a peak in Darien, which is
in Connecticut.
Even more astounding, when Balboa reached San Francisco,
he clearly saw the Hawaiian Islands! Being, as we know, a
friendly cuss, Balboa waved merrily to the Hawaiians and
shouted, "Great little ocean you got here, kids!" The Hawaiians,
also, as we know, friendly cusses, waved back, declared a half
holiday, organized a luau, built a cheery fiue over which they
prepared several gallons of poi, a suckling pig, and Captain
Cook. This, of course, was the origin of Cooking.

But I digress. The Pacific, I say, is the largest ocean and also
the deepest. The Mindanao Trench, off the Philippines, measures
more than 5,000 fathoms in depth. (It should be pointed out
here that ocean depths are measured in fathoms-lengths of
six feet-after Sir Walter Fathom, a noted British sea measurer
of the seventeenth century who, upon his twenty-first birthday,
was given a string six feet long with which he used to go
scampering all over England measuring sea water until he was
arrested for loitering. A passion for measuring seems to have
run in the family; Fathom's cousin, Sir Sol Furlong, spent all
his waking hours measuring race tracks until Charles II had
him beheaded in honor of the opening of .the London School of
Economics.)
But I digress. Let us, as the poet Masefield said, go down to
the seas again. (The seas, incidentally, have ever been a favorite
subject for poets and composers.) Who does not remember
Tennyson's "Break, break, break"? Or Byron's "Roll on, thou
dark and deep blue ocean, roll"? Or the many hearty sea chanties
that have enriched our folk music-songs like "Sailing Through
Kansas" and "I'll Swab Your Deck If You'll Swab Mine" and
"The Artificial Respiration Polka." My own favorite sea chanty
goes like this:
A girl loved a sailor and he did jilt her,
And she did weep and roar-ho!
