Michigan To Take Four
Players To Big Ten Meet
This Saturday
By SIDNEY FRANKEL
The Michigan tennis team added
another feather to its cap when it
beat Michigan Normal yesterday, 6
to 3, in a meet that was held in the
Intramural Sports Building because
of rainy weather.
The meet was somewhat devoid of,
interest because of the absence of the1
two stellar Michigan players, Cap- i
tain Dick Snell and Seymour Siegal,,
but s e v e r a 1 close, hard-fought
matches and the exceptional playing
of Carstens, the Ypsilanti star, made
up for it.
Siegal Defaults Match
A good battle had been expected
between Carstens and Siegal, but the
Wolverine player failed to show up
for some unknown reason and the
match went to Carstens by default.
However, the Normal player made
up for this no-match and showed
his ability in the doubles contest
when he teamedup with Bottsnto
beat the Michigan pair. Nisen and
Baldwin for the only Huron win in
the doubles 6-4, 5-7, and 6-4. This
match proved to be a long-drawn-
out affair with exciting play from
start to finish. But the Ypsi pair
was the better of the two and clearly
won the match with a strategic and
good technical game.
In the singles bouts, Michigan took
four out of the six matches. Siegal
lost to Carstens through default.
Nisen won his match from Schultz in
a fast three set game, 5-7, 6-3, and
6-4. Sandusky, after appearing in
four meets in the past four days,
was beaten by the Ypsilanti No. 2
man, Botts, 3-6, and 4-6. Appelt
won an easy match from Brown, 6-2
and 6-2. Baldwin also took an easy
bout for Michigan from Straight, 6-0
and 6-1. Root, of the Wolverine
team, and Arnold, of the Hurons,
went through another long-drawn
three-set, battle which was finally
won by the Michigan man, 6-4, 4-6,
and 6-4.
Michigan Wins 2 Doubles
Michigan came through in two of
the three doubles matches. Sandusky
and Appelt teamed up to take Schultz
and Brown, 7-5 and 6-1. Root and
Lederle oozed through to a win over
Straight and Arnold after losing a
love set. The score was 6-4, 0-6, and
6-4.
The Michigan team showed much
potential strength, although the re-
sults might have been different had
the meet been held outdoors. Appelt
and Baldwin, despite the fact that
they have not appeared much this
year in competition with other teams,
showed remarkably good improve-
ment and played excellent tennis.
Root also appeared improved from
his playing earlier in the season.
Coach John Johnstone stated that
his team for the Conference meet
next Saturday will consist of four
men, but that he has not decide
as yet who they will be.
Probable Team
For Wimbledon
Matches Picked
NEW YORK, May 5.--{IP)-The f a-
mous tennis courts of Wimbledon, in
the suburbs of London, will not see
the usual complement of Americans
comp;ting in the international cham-
pionships next month unless present
plans are changed, but the United
States delegation will lack nothing in
quality.
The four players now more or less
definitely committed to a trip to
England-Ellsworth Vines, jr., Keith
Gledhill, Mrs. Helen Wills Moody and
Helen Jacobs-hold among them
three-American titles and two Wim-
bledon championships. If Sarah Pal-
frey should decide to join her doubles
partner, Miss Jacobs, abroad the full
American title list would be repre-
sented.
Vines is a certainty to defend the
singles title he won on his first visit
to Wimbledon last year, and Miss
Jacobs, American woman singles
champion, already is on the conti-
nent tuning up her game for the
coming title play. Gledhill, who holds
the American doubles title with
Viones, probably will join his famous
teammate.
DeBake? A Hurdler
-Associated Press Photo E
Captain Chuck DeBaker, who made,
his collegiate debut as a hurdler at
Illinois last Saturday when he placed
second in the low hurdles, is hoping
to repeat or better his initial record
in the event when he races in the
Conference track meet next week.
Hoyt eve {s
Against Illini
Ned Turner, Willis Ward,
And Chuck DeBaker Are
Winners In New Change
Startling new developments ap-
peared on Coach Charlie Hoyt's
track squad at Illinois -Saturday.
Anyone reading the summaries might
think things had gone completely
haywire with a quarter-miler run-
ning the hurdles, a half-miler win-
ning the 440, and a high jumper set-
ting a new record in the broad jump.,
Changes were made in the Wol-
verine line-up, with the conference
tilt less than a week off. But they
were for the best as they garnered
many points for Michigan. Track
fans are wondering, however, and
dopesters have gone completely mad.
Just for example, Ted Turner beat
out Chill Allen and Charlie DeBaker
to win the 440-yard dash, and then
placed second to Ed Lemen in the
half-mile, his favorite event.
Captain DeBaker, in his last dual
track meet, made his debut as a col-
legiate hurdler and placed second in
the lows ahead of Boyd Pantlind.
Michigan hurdlers, Egleston,
Ward, Pantlind and DeBaker,
were practicing the hurdles on a
curved track yesterday afternoon,
in order to become accustomed to
them before Saturday. Conference
races are to be run around a curve
this year instead of on a straight
track as in previous years.
Freshman Me e t
Reveals Strenoyth
In Field Events
Results of the Michigan-Illinois
freshman telegraph meet indicate
that Michigan will have another
championship contending team to
put on the track next year with
freshman material coming up in the
events in which this year's Varsity
has been weak.
Although the team lost the meet
66 1-4 to 64 3-4 Coach Ken Doherty
was not disappointed and was partic-
ularly pleased with many of the in-
dividual performances, especially in
the field events.
Dave Hunn, who has vaulted over
13 feet won the pole vault in the
dual meet with a vault of 12 feet
even. Art Anderson won the shot
with a heave of 40 feet 4 inches. The
Michigan frosh scored a grand slam
in this event with Perkins second
and Silverman third.
Grand Slain in Discus
Etchells of Michigan won the dis-
cuss and Silverman and Shauer came
through for second and third for an-
other grand slam *in the field. The
winning throw wa's 27 feet 11 inches.
Adams took second to Nesmill of Illi-
nois who won the javelin with 177
feet 6 inches. Adams' throw was
over 175 feet, which would have won
the Varsity dual meet with Illinois.
Michigan scored the only other
grand slam in the 880 when Gorman
led Patton and Kaufman across the
line in 2:01.6. Gorman also won the
mile in 4:36.6.
A's Defeat Indians;
Pirates Best hilly;
Only Gaines Played
There were only two games sched-
uled in Major League ball parks yes-
terday, one in each league. In the
American League at Philadelphia,
Connie Mack's men took a fall out of
the first place Cleveland Indians as
Merritt "Sugar" Cain, rookie hurler,
scattered eight hits very effectively.
Willis Hudlin gave only four hits but
they were concentrated in the fifth
inning and as a result the Athletics
carted off a 1-0 victory. Cleveland
however retained its grip on first
place by a half game over the New
York Yankees who were idle.
In the National League, Pittsburgh
regained the leadership as they de-
feated the Phillie Nationals in a hard
earned victory. Heinie Meinie, Pitts-
burgh hurler went the route, but was
nicked hard and often. The Phillies
came within one run of tying the
score in the ninth inning but the
rally petered as Meine forced Chuck
Klein to pop to Piet. Pittsburgh is
now one-half game ahead of the
Giants who did not play.

Our Policy
Exhibition Tennis
T IS with no little trepidation that
we seat ourselves at the Sports
Editor's typewriter today in the real-
ization this is the moment for which
we have worked for years. Frankly,
we feel like the man who has seized
the bear by the tail . . . and doesn't
know just what to do about it.
First our congratulations go to
John Thomas, retiring editor, who
has turned out a fine piece of work
during the past year through hard
and consistent effort. The sports
page has improved under his man-
agement beyond a shadow of a doubt
and on top of this fact, the former
chief has been a pleasant chap to
work with.
John Thomas' outstanding work,
we feel, has been his column, "From
the Press Box." That column was
distinctly his and we shall make no
attempt to usurp his prestige by
carrying on under its name. Further,
as the column became more and
more highly featured, it was moved
into column one, the most important
position on the page.
Now a new column has arrived. It,
together with its writer, is definitely
on trial. Thus we feel that it should
not hold column one. The column,
together with the rest of the sports
page, is for the approval of the read-
er and any department of the page
will stand or fall according to the
opinion of the reader. Thus, it may
not appear every day. We will not
always have comments to make
which are more important than
writeups of current sports events.

Michigan Holds Batting
Practice In Preparation
For Southpaw Pitching
With three hard games for this
week-end staring Ray Fisher and his
diamond squad in the face, only to-
day's practice session remains for
ironing out the rough spots brought
out by the two games with Ohio
State last week.
The team will leave tomorrow for
Bloomington where it will meet In-
diana on Thursday. Friday the team
will proceed to Lafayette to play Pur-
due, and Saturday will meet Illinois,
last year's Big Ten champions, in a
return game.
The two contests last Friday and
Saturday proved several things to
Coach Fisher, one being that his out-
fit is emphatically not weak around
the keystone sack. In Friday's game
Jack Teitlebaum playing shortstop
came through with a brilliont play
on a hard grounder to short to get
a runner on second. Then in the
game on Saturday Stan Waterbor
made an equally nice play to prove
that second place on the batting av-
erages is not his only accomplish-
ment.
In commenting on the games with
State, the Coach said, "This fellow
Blue was pretty nervous pitching his
first conference game, but we should
have hit him more. And we should
have had more runs off him. Our
hitting is still weak."
In the two games Art Patchin and
Whitey Wistert broke about even,
"Patch" allowing only four hits in
the Friday encounter and Wisters
giving five Saturday.
What little practice the weather
would allow yesterday was devoted
mostly to tossing the ball around and
hitting against left-handed pitching.
Ken Manuel was on the mound for
a little practice but was sent to the
showers early. It looks as though
Fisher might have to use the lanky
first-sacker in one of the games this
week-end.

OW is the time to look to the
future. In outlining our policies
as Sports Editor, we may state that
in the main we shall adhere to the
policies of the previous administra-
tion. A conscientious effort will be
made to present the sports news of
the campus to our readers in a form
as concise and readable as possible.
In addition, the columns of the
sports page will carry important na-
tional news events via the Associated
Press.
In times past it has been thought
necessary to criticize Michigan ath-
letes in a vitriolic manner. This, we
feel, is a great injustice. It has been
our pleasure to watch Michigan ath-
letes for the past seven years. The
Wolverines are amateurs, giving a
great deal of time and effort to their
respective sports. They work for the
fun they get out of the sport and for
the honor of the University.
As amateurs, they are not open to
the same type of criticism to which
professionals are exposed when they
fail to come through. The Daily will
attempt to co-operate with coaches
in criticism of sports, and aclosing
team which is working conscientious-
ly will not be taken for a "ride."
_ HIGH SPOT of the tennis season
came Sunday, as Michigan's ten-
nis team opposed the Cleveland Ten-
nis club en the Palmer Field courts.
Managing and playing for the Ohio-
ans was Mr. Benjamin Thorwald
Maize and Blue net captain back in
the season of 1912.
Cleveland came out ahead, four
matches to three, but the Wolverines
gave them a run for their money.
It was the best tennis of the season
thus far, the inexperienced Michigan
players losing a previous competition
fright, to play their best games.
Captain Dick Snell now shifted to
number one position, lost to Weir,
Ohio champion, at 5-7, 4-6. Seymour
Siegel lost to Kirk Reid, 4-6, 2-6,
while Sandusky lost to Lee at 5-6,
2-6.
. Joe Appelt won the only Michigan
singles victory of the day as he took
Ted Thorwald, '36, into camp to the
tune of 6-3, 6-0. Ted Thorwald is the
son of the veteran tennis captain and
is now on the freshman tennis team.
