HIGH SCHOOL STRIKES
Resuming Conference competi-
tion after a lapse of more than
three weeks, the Michigan Varsity
nine will swing into action against
an ancient rival, Illnois, at 3:30
this afternoon on the Ferry field
diamond. The Wolverines must
defeat the Illini in order to retain
their position, undefeated, at the
van of the Big Ten race.
This will mark the first Con-
ference game for the Michigan
team since April 17, when North-
western was defeated by a 4-1
score. Games with Minnesota and
Iowa were cancelled due to weather
and other conditions. If Michigan
should lose today's contest, the
Varsity will drop considerably in
Uhe standings, as four other teams
are above the .500 percentage
mark.
McAfee To Pitch
'hBill McAfee is slated to start on
Sthe mound. for Coach Fisher. One
j of the leading hurlers in the Big
Ten last year, McAfee has showed
his old form on several occa-
sions this season. Last Monday he
pitched a good game against Meiji,
holding the Japs to five hits to
gain a 3-2 victory. This will be his
first Conference start of the season
Opposing McAfee, Coach Lund-
I gren is expected to nominate Capt.
Don Andrews to toil in the box for
the Illini. Andrews has suffered
from a sore arm this season, but
he is expected to be in shape for
today's game. Coach Lundgren has
given him a long rest since his last
game. If Andrews is unable to
start, Bower will probably get the
assignment.
The Illini have a fairly strong
aggregation this season, built
around Walker, Brown, Snyder,
O'Grady, Lymperopoulous, a n d
three veteran pitchers, Andrews,
Bower, and Mueller. However, the.
loss of Stewart, star mound ace,
has somewhat weakened the mound
corps. Williams at first and Yule
at shortstop are new men in the
Illini infield with Witte playing his
first season in the -outfield.
Illini Have Lost Three Games
Three games have been lost by
the Illinois nine this season. North-
western -has beaten Coach Lund-
gren's team twice, winning one of
the games when a rain storm in-
tervened while the Wildcats were
not as decisive. p
