THE MICHIGAN DAILY Baseballers, University of Detroit Faces Michigan; Seeking Revenge Golfers Play By BOB ZWINCK Acting Contributing Sports Editor No one can really blame Coach Moby Benedict and his crew if they look beyond this afternoon's battle here with the University of Detroit, for they still have as good a shot as anyone at the Big Ten baseball title. Last week the Titans were on the midget end of a 14-2 score on their home field against the Wolverines, who lashed out 13 hits -though power-hitting outfielder Jim Steckey got the only extra base hit, a double. The surprising thing is that the defending NCAA Champions, who own a rather blue Maize and Blue record of 5-4, are a mere half-game back'.of the conference leader, Iowa, who is 5-3. Thee iawkeyes were -tied for seventh going into the weekend action. Four Others No less than four .other teams are tied for second with the Wol- verines. Of these, Michigan will only be facing Ohio State. The pair will battle it out Saturday on the Buckeye diamond in a crucial doubleheader., Big Ten Standings Inthe topsey-turvey Big Ten "race" a .500 average is good for seventh placed yet only one game out of first. Before the end of the season, a scant two weekends away, any team save Indiana, who is 2-7, could be on the top rung. Even Michigan State, at 3-5, still has a fairly good chance. Benedict will be figuring out his pitching rotation starting with Satur day's doubleheader and working backwards. Most likely he will call on ace southpaw Fritz Fisher and his best righty Dave Roebuck to hurl against the Buckeyes. Fisher's record is 7-1 and Roebuck stands at 4-1. Against Indiana Sophomore lefty Clyde Barnhart '(1-2) will probably get the nod for Friday's Indiana contest. That would leave either Marlin Pemberton (0-0) or Jerry Hribar (0-1) to hurl against Notre Dame on the first game of the three-day trip on Thursday., All of which leaves today's start- er very much up in the air. Bene- dict is still undecided about who will get the call. He would like to have Roebuck throw some be- fore next Saturday, but since he pitched against Michigan State last Friday for 12 innings, he said, "We'll have to see just how his arm feels." Re-scheduled Benedict recently announced that he and Coach Charles Maher of Western Michigan University have agreed upon dates to play the two contests which were rain- ed out earlier in the season. On Monday. May 20, WMU will come here. Then on Wednesday, May 22, a day after the Bowling .Green game here, the Wolverines will travel to Kalamazoo for the re- match.

Benedict Approves Proposed Summer Ball for Collegians By BILL BULLARD Coach Moby Benedict has ex- pressed approval of a proposed system of summer leagues for col- lege players supported by the ma- jor leagues.. Baseball Commissioner Ford Prick announced a $50,000 grant, to set up the first league of the system last Wednesday. The new league will be known as the Cen- tral Illinois Collegiate League. Eventually the major leagues hope to establish these leagues all over the country as training grounds for future baseball talent. College players from 13 states -Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indi- ana, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska and Ok- lahoma--will be eligible to com- pete in the league. The players would be paid only' their expenses in order to maintain their college eligibility, Frick said. Very Interested "I'm very interested in this new league," commented Benedict. "It's a way to improve baseball in gen- eral and especially college base- ball. It would be a good experience for the players and for, coaches like myself. "After talking to Illinois Coach Lee Eilbrecht, my understanding is that this new league would not be ready to go into operation this summer. But that was two weeks ago and I don't know what the situation is now."

Benedict. has coached teams in1 the Basin League in South Dakota for the past few summers. Many of the Michigan players and other Big Ten players compete In this league. Benedict has no plans to coach in the Basin League or any- where else this summer. Not Ideal Place "South Dakota is not the ideal place to play baseball," Benedict said. "I've heard that they may revive an old league that used to be in the New England area. I'd be interested in this. But a league in the Midwest here would be very nice." Benedict indicated that one wel- come developnent of .the new league might be that ' the pro leagues would be more willing to let major league prospects attend college for four years before sign- ing them. "I'm disgusted with the pros for signing our players in their sopho- more years after we've spent two years o nthem," Benedict com- mented. "We have them for just a year of competition before the pros sign them. Tremendous! "Can you imagine what our team would have been like last season or this' season with Bill Freehan and Mike Joyce? We might lose a game once in a while but.not many." Freehan signed with the Detroit Tigers and Joyce signed with the Chicago White Sox after they led Michigan to a Big Ten champion- ship during their sophomore sea- sons in the'spring of 1961. "I hope the major leagues will leave the players alone for four years under the new setup and let them develop like they would in the minor leagues," said Benedict. "They should let the players get an education since they will have good competition and play a lot of games in addition to getting an education." Benedict also .revealed that the trimester calendar to start next fall will not affect the baseball team next season to any great de- gree. The same Big Ten schedule will be in effect as this season. Examinations in the middle of May and the weekend series of May 15-16 will conflict. But Bene- dict has had experience with these problems. Last spring the District IV NCAA baseball tournament was going on at the same time as exams.
