Michigan's netmen won't be'
getting much of a rest after, two
big conference meets Friday and
Saturday as Michigan State's tout-
ed net crew from East Lansing-
land invades the Wolverine courts
this afternoon.
Action begins at 2:30 with Mich-
igan after its fourth straight Big
Ten victory in as many starts -
and withra five-game undefeated
mark on the season's record books.
Michigan State was runner-up
to the Wolverines in the Big Ten
last spring. In regular season play
Michigan nipped the Spartan
racketmen, 5-4.
This year the Michigan State
netmen will take to the clay with,
a 9-4 season record, the last vic-
tory being over Illinois last Satur-
day, 8-1. Michigan defeated the
Illini Friday by an identical score.
The Spartans will bank on Cap-
tain Brian Eisner to give Michigan
Big Ten champ Ray Senkowski
some rough competition in the
number one singles. Eisner was a
semi-finalist for conference hon-
ors a year ago and runner-up in
1960.
Michigan State's Dick Colby and
Wolverine Harry Fauquier, a pair
of sophomores, will meet on the
number two court. Colby is a for-
ner state champ in Michigan high
school competition.
Rounding out the remainder of
the Michigan State line-up: Tom
Jamieson, another sophomore, will
be at number three.

McRae To Run
The hurdler who won himself a
place on the relay team last week
is Bennie McRae, a varsity record-
holder, Big Ten champion and, as
of Saturday, a conquerer of Olym-
pic runner-up Willie May.
Hayes Jones, an Eastern Michi-
gan product who had finished third
in the Olympic 110-meter hurdles
to May and Lee Calhoun, was
watching the meet and agreed with
McRae that May had not pulled
a leg muscle coming off the last,
hurdle despite the fact that the
ex-Indiana star stiffened up.
"He (May) got a muscle pull in
November and it's a psychological
thing that whenever he hits the
tape now he thinks he's pulled a
muscle," Jones explained. -
McRae ran two 440's in practice
last week to build up his stamina
for the hurdles. It worked so well
that the Newport News, Va., senior
not only ran his best time of the
year, a wind-aided :14.0, but also
convinced Canham that he can
run a :47 quarter if he keeps at it.
Leps, Aquino Named
Ergas Leps and Charlie Aquino,
who have both won honors as
middle-distance men in past sea-
sons, are the other two who will
probably get the nod for the re-
lay, when the chips are down.
Leps won the mile and 880-yd.
run Saturday, and Aquino set a
varsity record in beating Indiana's
defending conference champ, Gene
Graham, in the 660.
Leps has been filling in as an-
chorman on the relay whenever
he was needed since he was a soph-
omore two years ago, but Aquino
just started this year and has been
running under :50.
Besides Denhart, Leps, Aquino
and McRae, Michigan's other win-
ners were high-jumper Steve Wil-
liamsand discus thrower Ernst
Soudek.
Soudek, who hit 155'72" Satur-
day, claims to be the only left-
handed weight man in the confer-
ence, but he's not a southpaw
through nature. He broke his right
hand several times as a youngster
in Vienna, once when he tried a
karate blow on a tree.

By JOHN SCOCHIN
Last year a nobody, this year a
star; that's the story of John Kerr,
the unbeaten Wolverine hurler who
won' his fifth straight game Satur-
day with a three-hit shutout
against Michigan State.
The difference in Kerr's per-
formance this year is the result of
a well developed changeup, which,
together with his curve and fast-
ball, forms a trio of. pitches he can
count on.
"I'm not fast enough to depend
on my fastball so I've tried to keep
changing the speed of my pitches
to keep the hitter guessing. My
control has improved so I'm now
getting the ball where I want it,"
Kerr commented.
Helpful Addition
"I developed the pitch in the
cages of Yost Fieldhouse over the
winter. Since we've been working
out since Thanksgiving I've had
plenty of time to make it a reli-
able pitch," Kerr added.
Coach Don Lund stated, "The
addition of the changeup adds a
Major Lea lue
Standings
new variety to John's pitches. It1
helps make the other more effec-
tive because the hitters have more
to watch for. He's also setting upc
his. pitches better, according to7
the hitting capabilities of the man
he's facing. Since he's keeping the
ball low and around the plate,
where his pitches work best, he's,
tough to hit."1
Kerr believes continuous work-
outs and practice throughout the
whole year really help a pitcher.
"Being in a lot of ball games de-
velops your confidence and allows
the coaching staff to see your po-
tential and spot the weaknesses in
your delivery under actual game
conditions," he explained.
Unsure, At Firstj
"Before a pitcher uses any newj
pitch in a game, he isn't sure of it.
He thinks the first time he uses
it the batter will knock it out of
the park. That was the case with
my changeup. On the Arizona tour
I used strictly the curve and fast
ball and stayed away from any-
thing new.
"I first used the pitch in relief
against Notre Dame. Then I used;
it with success in my five-inning
stint against Minnesota. In Sat-
urday's Michigan State game I fi-
nally used it throughout the whole
game. I now have complete con-
fidence in the pitch and could
throw ift all the time if I had to,"
added Kerr.
Best Game
The senior lefthander rates the
Michigan State game as his best
effort of the season. "I was hitting
the corners pretty good and keep-
ing the ball down low. As a result
they were hitting all the balls to
the infield," Kerr explained.
"We have a very good defensive
team and if I can get the batter to
hit the ball where our fielders can
reach it we'll get the man out.
"I'm not a strikeout pitcher. If
I try to make the opposition hit
the ball to a fielder, it's just as
much of an out as a strikeout. Be-
sides, you don't get so tired, be-
cause you've thrown fewer pitches.
It gives you more stamina for the
later innings," Kerr stated.
Tough To Face
Every pitcher has one man
which he feels was the toughest
batter he's faced all season. Kerr
is no exception. "Mark Ikeda of
Arizona gave me the most trouble.
He's only 5'8" tall so he has a
small strike zone. What's more,
he's a darn good little hitter, so
getting the ball into that strike
zone doesn't solve your problem,"
Kerr commented.
"However, regardless of who he's
facing, a pitcher has to have con-
fidence in himself and believe he's
going to get the man out or he'll
never win a ball game. You have
to know the man you're facing and
believe you're going to get every-
body out."
Despite his fine record this
spring Kerr's potential was not
forseen until he reached college.
Why? "I played first base in high
school," Kerr answered.
The three-game sweep, coupled
with Illinois' split in its double-
header with Northwestern, puts
Michigan in undisputed possession
of first place in the Big Ten, a full
game ahead of the Illini.
First baseman Dave Campbell,
who injured his knee in Saturday's
nightcap and had to be helped off
the field, seems to be all right. The
knee responded to pressure Sunday
but Lund is awaiting the results of
X-rays to determine the extent of
the injury.
