BASEBALL TEAM WILL LEAVE FOR THE SOUTH TODAY MHIGANWILL PLAY' ROWNG CAH ASSUME FIRST GAME AGAINST CINCINNATI"SATURDA - - - - ---------- Fifteen Players Headed By Coach Fisher And Captain Corriden To Make Annual Trip SEVEN GAMES SGIEDULED Headed by Coach Ray Fisher and Captain Don Corriden, the Michi- gan. baseball team will leave Ann Arbor at 9:00 o'clock tonight for Cincinnati where the first game of the spring training trip will be played tomororw. Fifteen players are making the trip accompanied by Manager Robert Deo. The Wolverines go South this season in better shape than .in many years, since the early spring weather has enabled Coach Fisher to have his men out of doors for better than two weeks. While the pitching staff of the club this sea- son is not causing worries, the Jaunt through the South is expected to be a test of the real hitting strength' Veterans Make Trip Captain Don Corriden, Nebelung, and Straub are making the trip as the regular outfielders with Slagle held in reserve. On the infield,.Mc. Coy will be at first, Myron at see- ond, Kubicek at shortstop and We- intraub at third base. Reichman and Truskowski are to share the catching duties while the two aces, McAfee and Asbeck will have pitch- ing assistance from Kiegler, Mon- tague 'and Compton. A majority of last year's veter- ans are again making the trip thisa year, and it is probable that onlyl two new men till be seen perform-l ing in the lineup, Myron at sec- ond, and Straub in the field. McCoy saw service last year as a catcher1 but has been shifted to the first base sack while Kubicek is back in the infield after a year's ab- sence; due to ineligibility. Kubicek is a ,second baseman by trade but has been shifted to short. Straubl is another infielder, but Myron's work so far has resulted in his be- ing given preference on the infieldI over the grid player who has gone, into. the outfield. Seven Games On. Card Seven games are on the. south-- ern schedule this year, two each with Vanderbilt, Clemson, and the' University of Georgia with a single1 encounter listed with the Univer- sity of Cincinnati tomorrow. This is the same card as last year's, whenj the team captured five out of the seven engagements. Cincinnati greeted the invading Wolverines with a 7 to 3 defeat on a rain soaked diamond and Vanderbilt re- volted after losing the first game, -to Michigan, 10 to 1, and came' back to annex the final, 4 to 3: New uniforms made their appear- (Continued On Page 7) P. ,. -. ... 88. : S DUTIES A T WISCONSLN THISTLETH WAITE TO FILL VACANC] Strong Teams Slated To Oppose Wisconsin Eleven Early Next Season - (Special To The Daily> rf'"' MADISON, April 14.-Candidates. for the 1929 Wisconsin football team are working out daily under the £ . ! direction of Coach Glenn F.

The spring drills are being held on the practice fields + 1 north of Camp Randall stadium. . . . - f:Three members of the football staff have been assigned to spring prac- L ice by Head Coach Thistlethwaite. They are Leonard "Stub" Allison, who replaced Lieb as coach of the line; Glenn Holmes, freshman foot- ball coach, and Campbell Dickson, newly appointed end coach. Face Hard Schedule CQach Thistlethwaite is attach- ing more importance than ever be- fore to the spring workouts this , ".year for seyeral reasons. In the firstplace, some very important positions, have been .left, vacant by the graduation of regulars.

It has been many years since a Cardinal football team has gone in-- to competition prior to the first; week end in October. Next fall Wis- consin opens in September with a double-header at home. Conse- quently, there will be only 10 days' practice in which to prepare for the first game on the schedule. 50 Develop Reserves In order to combat ineligibilities,I Thistlethwaite is urging that all grid performers who aspire to play- ing on the Varsity, report for prac- tice. Every effort will be made to develop a number of boys for each position so that scholastic setbacks will not materially weaken the; squad. "With only 10 days to make ready for our first game next fall, we shall attach more importance to spring football practice this year than in' the past", Thistlethwaite said. "One of the innovations will be the drill- ing of our squad on Varsity forma- tions and plays to be used in our games this fall."

GOLFERS AY ME Captain Bergelin And Ward Lead Other Candidates In Quest Of Varsity Positions AHLSTROM ALSO RETURNS1 With two conference golf matches scheduled for the third week after vacation with Illinois and Purdue, an attempt to arrange a series of two matches with the Detroit Golf Club's team is under way. The pro- posed matches would be arranged for the last week in April and should aid materially in the selec- tion of the varsity team. The Detroiters always have boast-i ed an unusually powerful team, and' this year should prove no exception. Addie Connor, diminutive star, a Wolverine for three years will in all probability see service against his former teammates on the Detroit- ers front. The former Varsity cap- tain has figured prominently in the play of the Detroit district asso- ciation in the last few summers in interclub and intercity competition. Should these matches be success- fully arranged, the task of selecting men for the varsity positions would be greatly facilitated. At the pres- ent it seems as though only Cap- tain Bergelin and Dave Ward, for- mer Big Rapids star who is eligible for Varsity competition for the first time, are sure of team places. Art Ahlstrom, the second return- ing letterman who saw service on last year's Varsity combination, seems to lead the remainder of the aspirants in the quest for the re- maining three positions. Others who will figure prominently in the battle for team places are Livingston, an AMA winner, Hand, Lewis, Hoover and Hobart. BRIEFS' d 1 HAINSWORTH RECEIVES f .BOAL TENDER'S TROPHYrI (ly Associated Press) MONTREAL, April 4. -Georgej Hainsworth, veteran goal-tender of I Les Canadiens of Montreal, has been awarded the Georges Vezina. memorial trophy for the third suc- cessive year. The trophy, present- ed by the Canadian Hockey club in memory of the late Georges Vez- ina, one of the greatest goalies in the history of hockey, is presented each year 'to the National Hockey league goal-tender whose perform- ances during the season entitle him' to the distinction During the season just closed, Hainsworth set up some remark- able records He turned in 22 shut- i out games during the season and went through 16 straight gamesl without a loss. b Tommy Thevenow, wno suddeniyr blossomed forth as a star during the 1927 world series when he was wearing the uniform of the St. Louis Cardinals, barely escaped death in an automobile accident near Lakeland, Fla., Tuesday. Thevenow, who was counted on to bolster the infield of the Phillies, suffered such severe inj uries [ around his face that he will be unable to eat solid food for three or four months. Harold Elliott, ropkic pitcher for the Phillies, who was in the car with Thevenow, suffered a cu lip which required .four- teen stitches to close. Elliot pitched for one year on the Varsity team here before mak- ing his pro debut in the gold Michigan-Ontario league. He has returned to the' training camp. Marry H-eilmann evidently took Manager Stanley Harris seriously. when the young Bengal pilot threatened to ask .waivers on him, for Harry, accumulated three hitsl in as many official appearances at' the plate in the tenth game with the Chicago Cubs. It was Heil- mann's three hits, which includedI a double and a home run, and the sensational pitching of Barnes and Prodhumme that gave the Tigers their second victory in 10 starts against the Cubs. At the next meeting of the faculty representatives, Prof. J. F. A. Pyre, president of the Wisconsin Athletic council, will propose that athletic eligibility standards be raised one grade pointper credit,.he announced recently. All coaches at Wis-' consin are in favor of the plan, but, it is understood, they will not take the step, since it might hurt the Badger's chances on the athletic field., afters spring vacation. He is plan- ning to divide the squad into two regular teams, and have them play a series of six games with the Varsity. In previous years, he added, the freshman squad has played its games with the Varsity: reserves instead of the regulars. During intervening time when the yearlings are not occupied with the Varsity, they will have practice games against teams from 'the physical education department. Since Coach Elott made the re- cent call. for more candidates, a number of new men have shown up and are making - the competi- tion all the more keen for those who have been out since the first call. Also the freshmen are re- porting more regular than previ- ously, and in view of the fact that the first cut will come one week after vacation, they are playing a better class of baseball. With the addition of the new 1 candidates and the men reporting regularly, Coach Blott looks for- ward to some stiff games with the Varsity diamond crew when they I return from their southern trip next. week. Coach :lott has work- ed- the hurlers and trained them' hard. Has Exceptional Record Both this season and last the captain-elect lost only one match, thus losing only two ;matches in dual meet competition during his career. This year Hewitt placed second in the national meet for the Sindividual 125 pound title, losing to fMantooth of Oklahoma ' University,, in the final bout. With two stren- uous campaigns beh n1 rn , -the,,, new Wolverine captain may be looked upon as a sure point. winner in the meets which the Varsity team will enter next year. The retiring captain, Bob War- ren, will not be in competition next: year, and along with -Ed George and Hager will make a gap In the lineup which Coach Keen may have difficulty in filling. Freshman coach Russ Saur .an- nounced his list of!numeral winners for this year as: Aldinger, Dalrym- ple, Bennet, Duncan, Hickin, Hock- land, Donnelly Muehhiy, Fuss, Brockmeier, Clark, ,ornsen, Stod- dard, Beesley, Foster, Money, and Blowney. These awards were made on the showing that- the yearlings made in the three campus tourna- ments and on the work shown dur- ing the season. _ _ _ r -.- -.-w_ :- Best Wishes IBSnrinh! .£uitsn and To~ Ii 1 4 4 4 4 4 1 4 'ik Sprintie'" by RB le . . . look for quality oth in R B Clothes. whether you reach for a certain cigarette, you'll better in R B Clothes. a carefree swing . . . iA . . . abito' style to models for Spring. i ~ ., ' ' 96 / WE wish to extend to our friends and customers our best Look for sty] . . . ind l Don't care sweet or a enjoy them1 For there's a new style ti these manly wishes for a happy Can you listen with your pockets as well as your ears?
