M' ine Hosts Spartans in
Joyce Slated To Hurl for 'M' Sluggers;
MSU Coach Bemoans Lack of Power
Weekend Series Opener
SAT PENN RELAYS:
Villanova, Abilene Head Field
i
By BRIAN MacCLOWRY
It all depends on that nasty old
man with the saturated first name
of weather as to wetter or not
Michigan will battle Michigan
State today in the first of a three-
game weekend series.
Game time is 3:30 at Ferry Field.
Tomorrow the Wolverines will
safari north to complete the series
with a doubleheader at Old Col-
lege Field in Spartanville.
Joyce Starts
Michigan Coach Don Lund will
again send strong - armed Mike
Joyce to the hill in an attempt to
keep the Wolverines undefeated in
Big Ten play. The 200-1b. sopho-
more raised Michigan's conference
percentage 1.000 points last week
when he went the distance to
defeat Minnesota 5-3 on five hits.
Spartan mentor John Kobs will
counter either with southpaw Bob
Ross-who boosted State's con-
ference won-lost percentage 1.000
points last Friday in beating Iowa
3-2-or senior righthander Mickey
Sinks-who lowered it .500 points
the next day when Minnesota sent
him shower-bound in the fifth inn-
ing of a 5-3 loss.
Took Double Loss
The Spartans also lost the sec-
ond game of the Saturday double-"
header to the Gophers, 3-0, and
thus will move on to the field of
Ferry with a 1-2 Big Ten mark.
Judging from his mid-week re-
marks, Kobs seems intent on be-
coming a less successful version of
Dick Siebert, Minnesota's coach.
Siebert stormed into Ann Arbor
last week with his defending NCAA
champions crying the blue about
rainouts, injuries, etc. He left cry-
ing the blues about home runs,
home runs, home runs, etc.

"We need to do a better job of
hitting to stay with Michigan,"
Kobs moaned. "We collected 16
hits in the three league games and
all were singles. We've got to hit
the longer ball if we're to do any-
thing."
Meanwhile, back in Ann Arbor,
sportswriters were trying to get
Lund to say, "I'm worried, we just
haven't been getting enough sin-
gles lately. Sure, doubles and
triples are fine once in a while, but
what's wrong with getting a few
singles too? And these tape meas-
ure home runs are ruining us. Why
if we lose any more balls in this
manner we won't be able to com-
plete our schedule for lack of
dinero."'
Spartans Will Show
For all ofKobs' groaning the
Spartans will still field nine men
today, including four regulars who
are hitting over .300 for the sea-
son. First baseman Bill Schudlich
is tops in offensive antics with a
.382 mark, followed by catcher
Wade Cartwright at .370, left
fielder Tom Riley, .340, andcenter
fielder Pat Sartorius, .313.
Meanwhile back in Ann Arbor,
Michigan's Bill Freehan would still
be hitting over .400 if you replaced
his hits with RBI's. As it is he's
still batting a crusty .462.
Same Lineup
Today Lund will go with the
same lineup that brough Minne-
sota to its knees. This includes re-
placing catcher and captain Dick
Syring with Freehan, and install-
ing streak-hitting Barry Marshall
at first base.
What all this means to that to-
day's game will probably be can-
celled by a snowstorm, making this
story about as necessary as Coot
Veal.
Oh well, you win a few, you lose
a few and a few are snowed out.

EUROPE SUMMER TOURS
255 Sequoia, Box C, Pasadena, Col.
By TOM WEBBER
The sun shone once last week, so.
the people in Pennsylvania have
made ready for their 67th annual
carnival, to begin today.
Everybody else calls it the Penn
Relays, but the press information
says its the Penn Relay Carnival-
and it may be justified. The
agenda includes everything but
wheel chair sprints for ladies 65
and over. Who knows, they might
even have JFK throw out the first
discus.
Something for Everybody
High schools, prep schools, jun-
ior high schools, elementary
schools, parochial schools, colleges,
universities, and the armed forces
are entered in 112. relay and indi-
vidual events.
In total they number 103 col-
leges and 516 secondary schools.
Naturally all the hoopla and hulla-
bulloo will be centered on the
Championship of America events.
Entrants in these events are se-
lected on the basis of the best
times in the year, rather thanthe
usual preliminaries. Nonetheless,
the other events will feature olym-
pians like Frank Budd and Don
Bragg, and other assorted stars
from the nation, not to mention
Michigan's own Les Bird, who will
be seeking his third straight broad
jump title.
Added Attraction
There's a little added attraction
in the relays this year in the per-
son of two small colleges with
some high ideals. Villanova is
shooting for its seventh consecu-
tive mile relay championship, an
unprecedented feat, and Abilene
Christian has its eyes on four
REMARKS
by Cliff Marks
relay championships, and that's
only happened twice.
They both can't accomplish their
aims, however, because Abilene is
after the one-mile as one of its
victories. The band of speedsters
from deep-in-the - heart - of you
know where, is led by Olympian
Earl Young, who would like to be-
come the second man to ever run
on four winning relay teams.
Michigan and Pitt
The only two teams to win four
titles in the past were Pittsburgh
in 1939, and Michigan in 1945
The only individual to win four
gold watches was Frank Ohl of the
Pittsburgh team.
These Texans don't seem to be
impressed by precedent, for they
have recorded the fastest times of
the season in the four relays in
question. With Young as the an-
chor, they have posted a :40.1 in
the 440, 1:22.6 in the 880, and
3:07.9 in the one-mile. Young also
helped the distance medley to a
9:51.5 effort which is Xour seconds
under the listed Carnival record
for the event.
Villanova No Slouch
Of course Villanova is no slouch
in its favorite event with all four
of last year's winning team back.
The festivities will all come to
an end on Saturday with the selec-
tion of the winner of the Frank A.
Dallahan Trophy. The award, in
honor of the long-time meet mdn-
ager, will go to the meet's most
outstanding performer.

When Michigan golf Coach Bert
Katzenmeyer called Wolverine
Medalist Bill Newcomb's 73 score
at Ohio State last week "a tre-
mendous effort under the circum-
stances" he meant it in more
ways than' one.
Besides having the obvious
handicap of the almost unbear-
able weather conditions under
which the meet was held, New-
comb has his own personal han-
dicap.

College, majoring in design, and

the work required in this school,
especially the late afternoon labs,
is enough to deter any golfer from
trying to perfect his skill, let alone
play for the varsity team.
Much Pressure
"Bill feels a great deal of pres-
sure; the afternoon labs are very
demanding, and take a heavy load
on his time," said Katzenmeyer.
But in the light of this, New-
comb's fine score last weekend
looks all the more impressive for
the Junior linkster who tied Ohio
State's Mike Podolski for medal-
ist in the meet.
Newcomb attributed his success
to his red-hot putter.
In the Southern trip, Newcomb
had real trouble on the greens,
and in the Detroit Meet, the trou-
ble .continued..
When the team arrived in Co-
lumbus the Friday before the meet,
Katzenmeyer spent some time on
the putting green with Newcomb,
and what happened Saturday is
history.
31 Putts
On the 18 water-logged holes
of the tough Scarlet Course of
the OSU golf course, Newcomb
took a total of 31 putts, 13 of
them on the first nine.
"I made a couple of good ones
on the first couple holes, and after
four holes I found myself one un-
der par. That gave me the confi-
dence I needed, andIstarted be-
lieving in myself," said Newcomb.
Attitude Important
"My mental attitude was the
most important thing," he con-
tinued, and "once I conquered my-
self and told myself I could do
it, I was all right."
Newcomb hails from Royal Cen-
ter, Indiana, and plays at Kokomo
Country Club. He started play-
ing golf at the age of 12 and has
represented his area in National,
Western and State Amateur tour-
naments.
Newcomb played varsity golf for
Michigan last year as a sopho-
_-_
more, and in the Big Ten Tour-
nament, he was third lowest on
the Wolverine team.
As far as his demanding scho-
lastic load is concerned Newcomb
accepts his tough situation with-
out complaint. -
"It's a lot better than last year'
when I had lab froin 1 to 5 p.m.
SPRING IN ANN ARBOR is unlike spring anywnere else, or at least
that's what Michigan students and athletes like to think about
the changeable season. Spring is many things to many people, some
of whom aren't yet convinced that the interval between winter and
summer has come, despite what the calendar says.
A case in point is baseball coach Don Lund, who undoubtedly
wakes up every morning with his fingers crossed as he peers anxious-
ly at the usually dark, leaden sky. Why? After watching his team beat
defending NCAA champion Minnesota in summer-like 70 degree
weather Friday, he saw a cold rain wash out Saturday's doubleheader
with Iowa.
To top it off, Tuesday's Western Michigan contest was called
after only three innings. It not only rained-it was cold, plunging
the temperature almost into the 30's.
This was certainly no news to anyone, least of all Lund, or even
the other Michigan coaches who try so desperately to meet their
spring sports schedule with the phrase "weather permitting" always
uppermost in their mind.
AND DESPITE an off and on spring-weather-wise-the man up-
stairs is cooperating no worse than usual. It happens every spring,
as a movie title once proclaimed, but the coaches only hope that it
rains on every other off day, giving them at least one practice in-be-
tween games.
A man who has a lesser problem than his three counterparts is
Coach Bert Katzenmeyer of the Big Ten title-hopeful golfers. He
generally has only one day a week to worry about the weather-Satur-
day. However, the first two meets were played in the rain, and even
though both produced good Michigan scores, Katzenmeyer would still
like to see his charges compete on a nice day. He saw several of them
before spring vacation which put his team about two weeks ahead of
schedule, but since the valuable spring trip, the golfers have had to
get used to bad weather. Their scores show that they have, but it's
just not as enjoyable in the rain.
There is one man, however, connected with coaching who is
not overly concerned about the weather. His team practices unnoticed
for 20 days in the spring, laying the groundwork for fall, when his
sport, football, will be on everyone's mind. The man is Bump Elliott,
of course, and next fall's hot topic will be even hotter if he and his
staff come up with a hoped-for Big Ten title contender. They'll need
one to tackle a rugged, but attractive schedule that includes seven
home games, three with inter-sectional opponents..
ONE QUALIFICATION must be made about Elliott and his attitude
toward Ann Arbor's spring weather. He really does like to see nice
days, because it helps him to better appraise his athletes, and he also
wants the other coaches to be happy. In fact, Elliott cancelled one
practice because of a blizzard, and he held Saturday's scrimmage on
Ferry Field rather than in the Stadium because of wet ground to
protect the Stadium turf.
He realizes that his team may have to play under all types of
weather conditions in the fall, especially with seven Ann Arbor
games, and he is not averse to practicing the players in any situa-
tion. Of the 14 sessions so far, Elliott has seen days in the 70's of the
fall "Indian Summer" type, others in the 30's with a trace of snow as
may occur in the traditional finale with Ohio State just before
Thanksgiving. It happened in 1950 when Michigan won in a real
snowstorm and went on to capture the Rose Bowl.
There have also been moderate days this spring like any cool
fall day might be, and then add the day of a cold, drizzling or pour-
ing rain accompanied by a wind that usually occurs at least once
every fall around October. It did last year against Northwestern and
the Wolverines were apparently better prepared, coming out on top.
Though this spring's weather is readying the players for just
about anything fall might bring, Elliott has far more important prob-
lems, which is mainly why he doesn't worry about sometimes-helpful
weather.
ELLIOTT AND HIS STAFF are trying to find individuals now who,
come fall, will be able to move into slots as members of the team.
As line coach Bob Hollway aptly put it, "First we have to find the
football players, then we have to slowly integrate them with their
teammates to mold a smooth organization."
He was referring particularly to the sorting out process of elimi-
nation which is going on among the current crop of sophomores-to-
be fighting for survival. It is from this group that Elliott will choose
players to combine with the established old guard whom he is cur-
rently running as a unit.
At any rate, Elliott is getting a pretty good line on his team as
the May 6 Blue-White intra-squad game looms near, and his con-
centration on individuals will enable the gridders to begin team drills
right away in the fall.
And does the weather bother Elliott? He seems to be different
than most Ann Arborites and the other four spring coaches with their
constant eye to the sky, probably substituting a phrase like "weather
or not, rain or shine" for their stock words of "weather permitting."

Coach Grateful
Katzenmeyer is very proud of
Newcomb. "He's a fine person and
a gentleman and I am very grate-
ful to Bill for paying the price
he has to pay to be a member of
the team, and I respect him for
it," said the golf mentor.
As far, as the chances for his
team are concerned, Newcomb be-
lieves that Michigan has what it
takes. "We are a Big Ten Cham-

comb who hopes to continue his
fine play, in spite of his heavy
scholastic load, in the important
meets to come.
