Michigan tennis fans will finally
get a chance to see the Wolverines
in action today when the defend-
ing Big Ten champs take on De-
troit on the tennis courts at 3 p.m.
For the Wolverines, who evened
up their season's record at 3-3
with victories over Indiana and
Ohio State over the weekend, it
will be the first of only two home
meets all season. Western Michi-
gan will invade Ann Arbor on
Monday for Michigan's only other
contest on a friendly court.
The Titans have never beaten
the perennially powerful Wolver-
ines who have compiled a 118-21
record since 1948.
Wolverines Upset
In addition to its two victories,
Michigan was upended by sopho-
more-laden Northwestern over the
weekend in the quadrangular meet
at Bloomington.
Ray Senkowski, Scott Maentz,
and Tim Hienle won three singles
matches each to pace the Wolver-
ine effort. Senkowski, a sophomore
from tennis-crazy Hamtramck and
the team's number one man, licked
Terry Taylor of Ohio State, Don
Thorne of Indiana, and Skip Gage
of Northwestern, all in successive
sets. However, prior to the first
doubles match with Indiana he
became ill, forcing the Wolverines
to forfeit the match.
Encouraging Sight
The sweeps. by Maentz and
Hienle were an encouraging sight
to Wolverine coach Bill Murphy,
since it gives the defending con-
ference champs more depth.

Maentz was late in reporting since
he cavorted for Dave Strack's
hoopsters until the middle of
March. He apears to be just round-
ing into the form which made him
one of the top stars in the state
while a prepster at Grand Rapids.
Jim Tenney and Tom Beach
added two single victories apiece
to the Wolverine cause.

.Anderson
Pitcher Bill Buhl withstood a
determined Anderson House rally
and a streak of his own wildness
to preserve a 7-2 victory for Tay-
lor House in intramural residence
hall 'A' action last night at Ferry
Field.
Buhl allowed only three hits to
Anderson, two of them to Bill
Heidbreder, and one to pinch-hit-
ter Joe Petrusek.
Trailing 7-0 going into the sev-
enth and fina1 inning, Anderson
staged a rally. After Cyril Bar-
nert was called out on strikes,
Heidbreder looped a single over
third, and T o m Fitzpatrick
walked.
Both scored on passed balls,
but, after walking the bases full,
Buhl finally managed to strike
out Petrusek on a hotly disputed
call.

Sunday, Pi Lambda Phi, a 1960
semi-finalist, did something few

do-win a doubleheader.
The Pilams surprised highly-re-
garded Phi Gamma Delta, 15-6,
and brushed aside Phi Kappa Tau,
13-8, after a thirteen minute in-
termission.
Zeta Psi downed Chi Phi, 4-0, on
a three hit shutout by Don Mast.

Sporting an 8-0 record, the Uni-
versity of Detroit Titans invade
Ferry Field today to try to halt
Michigan's seven-game unbeaten
string.
Wolverine mentor Don Lund said
that veteran Dennis McGinn will
probably handle the pitching du-
ties. The Escanaba right-hander
has not pitched since the Wayne
State encounter several weeks ago
when he pitched good ball but
did not receive credit for the Mich-
igan win.
Also expected to see some ac-
tion is Franz Neubrecht, a trans-
fer hurler from Toledo who along
with McGinn has seen limited ac-
tion this season mainly on ac-
count of the monsoons which
have taken residence in Ann Ar-
bor.
Titan Ace
The Titans will count on the
strong right arm of junior stand-
out Dave DeBusschere. However,
last season Michigan knocked the
6'6" basketball All-American out
of the box when the two teams
met.
The Wolverines, currently lead-
ing the Big Ten with a 4-0 mark,
have combined good pitching with
very good hitting in running their
unbeaten streak since they return-
ed from the spring tour in Ari-
zona.
Lund has alternated big Bill
Freehan between first base and
catcher with Barry Marshall
starting at first or captain Dick
Syring playing behind the plate,
depending on where Freehan
plays.
In recent games Marshall has
belted three home runs, one of
them a three run blast that
brought Michigan from behind in
the game against Minnesota. How-
ever, Syring will wear the tools
of ignorance against the visitors,
and Marshall will sit this one out.

DENNIS McGINN DAVE DEBUSSCHEUE
.. Michigan's hope ... Titans' tops
The remainder of the line up
will stay the same with three jun-
iors, four sophomores, and only
one senior (Syring) taking the
field in support of McGinn. The
young sophs have lived up to all
expectations to date as Freehan
has been hitting the ball at a .450
clip while Joe Jones and Dennis
Spalla are consistent .300 hitters.
The fourth newcomer, shortstop
Dick Honig has not hit for a high
average, but his hits have won
two Big Ten games already.
Although the Titans play an
easier schedule than the Wolver-
ines, their undefeated record in-
dicates Detroit must be a solid
ball club. At any rate, the con-
test will give Lund a chance to
see what McGinn and Neubrecht
can do.
The game will be played at 3:30
p.m. today, testing each team's
win skein.
The Wolverines emerged a
happy, but tired, team after best-
ing the Michigan State Spartans
in a tripleheader Saturday by 5-1,
6-4 and 4-3 counts.
Detroit added another win to
their record yesterday as they sent
Hillsdale down to defeat by a
comfortable 11-6 margin.
