FROM THE PRESS BOX By JOHN THOMAS Johnny Fischer's Pitch Shots Alumni Trophy Again Bobs Up Wildcat Boxing * * * OHNNY FISCHER, Intercollegiate golf champion, was in the clubhouse the other day talking to other members of the golf team. The question came up as to the left wrist at the point of contact with the ball on the down swing. The traditional feeling is that about a foot or so away from the contact of clubhead and ball, the right wrist takes over the shot, snapping back into position and add- ing a large amount of strength to the shot. However there is a newer school of golf, principally among younger players, that the development of the left wrist for a larger part of this movement is desirable and will bring better results. Meve slamming the ball is not always to a player's advantage. Control of all shots is now deemed to be more important than actual superior distance. A strong left wrist, working at this juncture, will increase control, while ut the same time not cut down very much on distance. Of course the left hand is all-important in the whole shot, and always has been, but the importance of the left wrists at the moment of contact is a fairly new mode. Fischer himself has extremely well-developed wrists. They are respon- sible for his long woods but even more important for his successful short' game. He has five pitch irons, ranging from his xnashie to niblic, and it is on this particular division of his game i Michigan NineWill Meet Ohio State Here Tot that he rests most of his hopes. He has one advantage over most golfers and that is the accuracy of his pitches. His total putts for a round often hovers around 25. This is due to seven or eight one-putt greens which in turn are due to fine approaching. We played a round with Johnny last spring when he was off direc- tion on his woods but he still turned in a 74. His long drives off the tee found the rough more often than the fairway, his long irons were just so- so, but his approaches were perfect. He had four one-putters on the out nine, three of which were conceded by us who think that all putts should be downed everytime. The four ap- proaches varied in distance from a bunker off the green to 125 yards. Yet everyone of them were inside a two-foot radius from the cup. * * * THE CHICAGO Alumni Trophy will be awarded at 3 p. m. today at. the Union with Meyer Merton, '12L, of Chicago, as master of the presentation. The prominent Mid- West football official is credited with having suggested the award. The Trophy culminates the spring. football practice and is voted to the freshman who had the best record during the practice sessions. Attend- ance, ability, attitude, and the pos- sibility of a Varsity post in the next season are the factors considered by the coaches in voting it. Four backfield men, two ends and a guard are given a good chance ofi winning it. Bolas, Dauksza, Remias, and Triplehorn are the backs with Remias outstanding. Wells is the guard. Johnson and Malashevich are the two ends under consideration. Although the vote has not been an- nounced, the last named is rated as the best guess. Malashevich is ex- pected to give Ward a real run for the right end position next fall. Both can catch passes like Oosterbaan, both are fast, and both are clever defensive performers. It looks like a real battle. Dauksza and Remias stood out in the last Saturday's game but above them stood Malashevich. He dem- onstrated his pass-catching ability and looked like a lanky halfback ad- vancing the ball in an open field after he caught them. NORTHWESTERN awarded letters to six members of its first boxing team along with ten numerals. The team was undefeated in three dual meets. The new sport was extremely pop- ular and paid its own way. Coach Clare Bennett will have three letter winners and several numeral win- ners back next year to form a nu- cleus of a team which will continue to compete in collegiate circles. Nine of this year's squad are com- peting in the Golden Gloves prelim- inaries in the Evanston district. Varsity Golfers Beat Freshmen I Annual Meet The University of Michigan Varsity! golf team handed the freshman squad its annual beating yesterday to the tune of 181/ to 151. The frosh, however put up some good playing but the experienced upper- classmen were just too good for them. Of the eight matches played, the Varsity took all but two. Woody Mal- loy, of the freshman team, shooting a 78 over his opponent's 79, won over George David, 2% to %. The other yearling victory came with Schaberg's win over Keith Crossman, 2 to 1. Jolly Doesn't Play Markham, Muzzey, Sweet, and See- ley, of the Varsity squad took deci- sive matches from Williams, Van Zile, Smith, and Heusel, each of the victors winning by a score of 3 to 0. The match scheduled between Cap- tain Jolly of the Varsity and Wen- ham did not take place because of classes in the afternoon. This match will come off today but will not have much effect upon the present score. These matches have had a good effect in getting the Varsity in con- dition for the meet here, Saturday' between Michigan and Ohio State. I, Patchin Named To Seek First Conference Win Ulrich Or Estell 'Will Do Buckeye Hurling When Teams Play Tomorrow With Buck Waterbor back in shape the full Michigan baseball team will be ready to face Ohio State at Ferry Field at 4 p. m. today, in what will mark the Wolverines' third Confer- ence start. Art Patchin is slated to do the pitching for the Maize-and-Blue nine, seeking their second consecu- tive victory over a Big Ten ball team. The sophomore right-hander has showed his mettle against M. S. N. C. and Hillsdale in practice games, but has yet to win his spurs against a Conference nine. Buckeyes Weak Ohio State, providing the opposi- tion in the first of a two-game series this afternoon, had a poor season to date. With only two veterans avail- able and a new coach, the Scarlet- and-Gray diamond team has yet to score a Conference victory. The only two experienced men in the Buckeye lineup are Captain Roger Sharp, who does the catching, and Sid Hale. Hale, starting the sea- son at third base, suffered an attack of bad fielding, and will probably be in right field today. Pitchers Inexperienced Three new men have been sharing the pitching for Ohio State this season, Marvin Ulrich, Ansell Estell, and Ken Williams, with Ulrich a right-hander, the logical choice to draw today's pitching assignment against Patchin. Estell, a southpaw, is due to get the call for tomorrow's game. His appearance will mark the first time Wolverines have faced left-handed twirling this season. The Ohio State infield will have Johnny McAfee at first base, Al Clowson at second, and Steve Lewis -. at shortstop as regular fixtures. ' The third base post will presum- ably be held down by Larsen, a sub- stitute catcher, al- though Hale may have recovered sufficiently f r o m his attack of wob- bles to resume his - - old position. Prosenjak May Play If Hale is still off form he will be in right field for the Buckeyes, with Bobby Colburn, basketball star, in center, and Bob Blue in left. With Hale at the hot corner, Prosenjak will be out in right field. The Michigan lineup will be the same as that which faced Chicago and batted out a 12-to-2 victory over the Maroons last Saturday, barring a change of pitchers. Lineup Unchanged Ken Manuel, Buck Waterbor, Jack Teitelbaum, and Russ Oliver, will be the starting infield for the Wolver- ines, the oufield comprising Ted Petoskey, Gene Braendle, and Avon Artz. Artz and Petoskey will resume their fighting for the batting cham- pionship of the team in this game. Avon still paces the Maize-and-Blue batsmen. The pitching assignment for Sat- urday's game will go to Whitey Wis- tert, who pitched a masterful game against Chicago as well as securing four hits. Should today's game be rained out a double-header will be played on Saturday. Football Candidates To Report At Union All candidates for the 1933 foot- ball squad are asked to report to Coa h Harry Kipke at the Mich- igan Union at 3 p. w. this after- noon. Final instructions before the opening of fall practice will be issued to the men at this time. No men, except those on the track and baseball squads, will be ex- cused. Twenty-four Wolverine trackmen will leave Ann Arbor at 5:10 p. m. today bound for Champaign where they will engage the Illinois thin- clads tomorrow afternoon. This is the largest track team which has represented the Maize and Blue in a meet on the road for some time. The two dozen tracksters will spend tonight in Chicago before pushing on to the scene of battle in the morning. They will return to Chicago immediately after the meet and arrive home at 3:30 p. m. Sun- day. The fact that Coach Charlie Hoyt is taking as strong a squad as pos- sible bears out the fact that he fears the Illini second only to Indiana. The Champaign outfit turned in a good exhibition 1 a s t Saturday against the Hoo- siers and Purdue in a triangular meet held at La- fayette. Although In- diana edged out the Illini 73 to 57, the meet was DE BAKER even until the relay event which the Hoosiers won. The mile relay, a Michigan forte, will not be held in the dual meet. The complete Wolverine squad list as announced by Coach Hoyt last night is: Capt. Charles DeBaker, Willis Ward, Kass Kemp, Hawley Egleston, Boyd Pantlind, Tom Eller- by, Charles Allen, Ed Lemen, How- ard Braden, Rod Howell, Jack Childs, Bill Hill, Doc Howell, Ned Turner, Konrad Moisio, Roderick Cox, John Schmieler, Al Blumenfeld, Clark Schell, Jerry Rea, Robert Gillilan, John Thornburg, Bill Dibble, and Jack Jennette.
