The 7-6 win over the Iowans was Mich- igan's third in as many Big T e n contests. Fresh from victories over Butler and Bradley Tech in their final non- Conference games and with a Big Ten victory over Purdue, 5-0, already tucked away, the Indians will invade the Wolverine stronghold in quest of their second victory over a Confer- ence opponent. Prospects fer a pitchers' battle be- tween Bud Stewart, veteran right- hander of the Orange and Blue mounl corps, and Bill McAfee, sophomore find of the Michigan staff, seems in- evitable, as both men have been going at top form in their recent games. McAfee, who held Purdue to five hits in the second Big Ten contest, is credited with a one hit game against Vanderbilt, while Stewart Jet Tulane down with only two safeties during the Illini training jaunt. With one of the most formidable squads in the Conference this season, the Illini will make a strong bid to, repeat their performance of last sea- son when they vanquished the Michi-. gan outfit, 6-1, behind faultless pitch- ing by Stewart, while Coach Ray Fisher's team was helpless before the Indian twirler, his mates proceeded to pound the veteran Don Miller for a total of 12 safeties. After getting a late start in the 1927 title race, however, the Wolver- ines proceeded to atone for their earl- ier reverses by shutting out the Illini at Champaign, 6-0 in a game that was featured by the hurling of Miller and the slugging of the Maize and Blue players, who bagged no less than 11 hits off the delivery of Stewart and Andrews. While the early season games have been featured mainly by the brilliant mound wrk of Stewart and Andrews, veteran pitchers, t h e Lundgren- coached combination has proved itself worthy of serious consideration both offensively, and defensively. SPRING GRID PRACTICE DEVOTED TO PASSING DRILL, FUNDAMENTALS, Although over 125 men have al- ready responded to his call for spring football practice, Coach Tad Wieman expects an even larger squad by the end of the week, as the turnout is increasing daily. No previous ex- perience is required, and uniforns will be issued to all students report- ing. With the enlargement of the squad after spring recess, more attention has been paid to drilling on funda n'enttds, blocking and tackling bing emphasized. Efforts to develop cap- able kickers and passers to take the placo of those who will be lost by graduation are being continued. Yesterday's practice for the backs, after opening with a short drill on calisthenics and dodging blockers, was devoted to all branches of the passing game. Prospectiwe tossers were given a chance to show their w1rcs, and other backs and ends were sent out to receive the passes, while another backfield was drilled on a de- fense for aerial attacks. The punters Were also given a thorough workout, withi the ends going down to get the bickfield men returning the kicks. COACHES INDIANS Mulroney, Iowa hurler, was warm-- ly applauded by the spectators when7 he struck out Oosterbaan with the bases loaded in the third inning and again when he figured prominently in a spectacular double play that staved off a Michigan rally in the fourth frame of yesterday's game. Several hundr:d spectators swarm- ed around Coach Otto Vogel ald Andy Green, umpire, at the end of the game1 when the two engaged in a verbal battle over a decision called in the final inning. Orders by a single re- presentative of the Ann Arbor po- lice department to disperse were only. raucously 'booed' by the several hun- dred ien. Nebelung, Michigan center fielder, was chased off the field by Umpire "Four Strikes" Cleary for baiting Mul- roney in the eighth inning. Just pre- ivous to this Nebelung drove a two base hit to center field. Straub ran for Nebelung, and Slagle replaced him in center field. The press men were chilled to the narrow of their bones sitting in their, lofty perch overt the grandstand. They are still inquiring about that danopy the athletic association promised to construct a week ago. Fifteen men were used by Coach Ray L. Fisher to achieve the one-run victory over the Iowans. The lawk- eyes had five less. Stewart, Illini hurler who opposes McAfee this afternoon, weas rushed into the game against Bradley Thurs- day and held the Bradley hitters to three hits duving his three-inning stay on the mound.

EDELSON DELAY TENNIS MATCH' WITH DETROIT TEAM Hope To Improve Condition Of Courts On Ferry Field Before Meet With Nortiwestern THREE NEW MEN ON SQUAD Because unfavorable weather made it impossible for the Detroit Tennis club to condition its courts, the match between the Varsity and the Detroit team was forced to be postponed un- til Wednesday. Following the Detroit match will be the opening Big Ten meet with North- western, to be held on Ferry field gne week from today. The match on Wed- nesday is expected to give Coach Har- ry Hutchins a basis for the selection of a team to oppose Northwestern. The biggest obstacle in the path of the Wolverines at present is the al- most unplayable condition of the local courts. The surfaces of the clay courts are checked and rough with a large number of hollows which furnish men- tal and physical hazards intolerable in thatches. In spite of them; handicap the con- tenders for the Varsity have complet- ed a series of singles matches in the form of an elimination contest. Three new men are making strong bids for positions on the Wolverine team. Undaunted by six unsuccessful at- tempts to swim, the Strait of Gibralt-E er, Miss Mercedes GIeitz, London's typist-swimmer, has at last establish- ed the record of being the first wom- an to achieve the feat. She has al- ready negotiated the 'English Chan- nel. Captaining a rifle team which has been undefeated for two seasons, Miss Helen Taylor, student at the George Washington University, holds a rec- ord of 500 consecutive bullseyes in regulation meets. YLSTIRDAYT" Holding St. Louis to four hits Earl Whitehill, veteran hurler of the De- troit Tigers, shut out the Browns yes- terday at Navin Field. He was ma- terially aided by Easterling and Me- manus. both of whom hit for the cir- cuit. This was the Tigers' third suc- cessive win. Grove, of the Athletics, held New York's sluggers to a single score, while his mates were bringing two men across the plate.
