;x THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1^61 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. m MpSIC0SHO 417 E. Liberty NO 2-0675 "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 A low-cost unregimented tour dif- ferent from all others-the most personalized-the widest coverage of all. It is for you?

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. i i i i i s WHERE -Daily-David Giltrow A TIGHT ONE-Wolverine right fielder Dick DeLamielleure gets out of the way of an inside pitch in the Minnesota game.

WERE YOU ON THE NIGHT OF " s 0 'M' MEDALIST AT OSU: Newcomb: Handicapped Golfer i0 APRIL 7' * " t* b T H ' 0 "0 {t y By JIM BERGER 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. He is a junior in Architecture College, majoring in design, and Read Daily Classifieds D. S: + "«"-"."".. ".T :r ,y' .., . ,",t ".,, .. .., i R , <:., 9 i , :....; t ; , , }:. . ' : <> 4 : :;r::::': 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." 1l 0 0 G O G O G O Opening beer. a can of Schlitz BILL NEWCOMB ... student golfer every day, this year it's only three days a week." 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- pionship calibre team," said New- comb who hopes to continue his fine play, in spite of his heavy scholastic load, in the important meets to come. m................U And on April 14?
