Fall In Pinning Harvey Bauss Michigan successfully inaugurated the wrestling season by defeating the Michigan State grapplers 18 to 14 before 1,500 spectators in Yost Field House alst night. Each team won four bouts, but three of the Michigan victories came on falls while only one of the Spar- tans was able to pin his Maize-and- Blue adversary. Landrum Wins Jimmy Landrum gave Michigan the lead in the point totals when he pinned Floyd Austin, his Green-and- Gold opponent in 3:24. Both wrest- lers weighed 118 pounds. The fight was fast and quite even until Lan- drum, by a switch was able to secure the edge. In the 126 pound go Captain Stan- ley Ball of M. S. C. won a time deci- sion over Joe Oakley. Oakley suf- fered a recurrance of a knee injury early in the bout but continued and carried the fight into overtime.

The Michigan man was wrestling at a weight 10 pounds lighter than his usual class due to the illness of Captain Blair Thomas. The Spartans won the fourth match of the evening when Nick Rajkovich, substitute on last season's Green-and-White team, gained a 4:50 time edge, over Don Lewis. Lewis, wrestling his first meet for Michigan, put up a strong bid but lacked experience. The weight was 145 pounds. Wolves Cinch Meet Two quick falls in the next pair of matches cinched the meet for Michi- gan. Art Mosier, letterman, had little difficulty in pinning Allan Cox in 1:42 at 155 pounds.

Three Seeded rTennis Players Win Matches First round matches in the All- Campus tennis tournament yester- day morning saw but three of the eight seeded players in action. The most interesting match of the day was played by Herbert Penn, and William Bowles. Penn, although seeded third, . was hard-pressed to win, the match going to three sets, 11-9, 7-9, 10-8. Other seeded players in action were R. Baldwin, ranked second, who dropped the first set to Frank Sanford, 6-3, but rallied to win the next two and the match, 6-2, 6-1, and Charles Nisen who defeated Vir- gin Wells, 6-3, 6-0.

The only Michigan State wrestler to register a fall was Lee Marsa, a veteran, who pinned Harvey Bauss at 4:17 in their 175 pound go.

In a sreat rally the Wolverine football ;star barely missed pinning his man. FROM THE PRESS BOX By JOHN THOMAS BENNIE OOSTERBAAN HAS SERVED as an idol of most ends since his own playing days. Recently Wesley Fesler was asked why he never played pro-football. He answered, "Once up at Ann Arbor I was talking with Bennie Oosterbaan and I asked him why he had never played pro- football? He answered that he thought he had been fooling the fans long enough and was afraid to take the chance any longer. I guess Bennie's reason struck deeply, for I've never signed a pro contract." RAY COURTRIGHT'S MIND IS STRAYING from the basketball court to his first love, golf. This kind of weather has made a lot of golfers do likewise. Its time to start polishing up one's clubs, Coach Courtright says. He has repaired all of his own clubs and has them ready for outdoor practice. Michigan lost Jack Lenfesty ands'- Johnny Howard by graduation andI Jack Root, who went to the Univer- sity of Indiana this year. Captain Jolly, John Fischer, Eddie Dayton,' George David, and Chub Hicks will be back along with a strong fresh- man team of last year. The name of Johnny Fischer alone will throw a scare into all Big Ten opponent's ears as he is their champion. How- ever he also stepped out and won the National Intercollegiate title last year and won the second ranking in the National Open. He tied the all- time low qualifying record in the National Amateur and went on to the quarter finals, bowing to Francis Ouimet. Hicks, David, Dayton, and Jolly will give Michigan a well bal- anced team to keep up Fischer's good record. STEVE FARRELL IS a past master at story telling. The retired track coach tells one about the Yale Har- vard football game of years ago. Harvard had things its own way the first half and when the teams came into the dressing room, Yale was pretty discouraged. Yale had a trainer, Mike Murphy, who was a consumptive, blessed with the services of only one lung and a sense of keen psychology. Murphy planted his soap box in the center of the tired Yale team and proceeded to beg the boys to go out and win this one for Old Mike, since the doc- tor gave him less than a year to live. It so happened that the Yale team did win that one game, and what's more, nearly annihilated the Har- vard team in performing the miracle.
