1034 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Michigan Nine Will Open Conference Season PLAY & BY-P LAY By AL NEWMAN-- Competition.... FEEL THAT IT IS MY DUTY t warn the local Athletic Board i control due to the fact that some. body is getting ready to muscle in o the football racket. Of course, there are always Anm Arbor High School and St. Thoma in competition with the University fo: local football interest, and there ar the small boys that play during the fall afternoons on campus to a crows of anywhere from five to a hundre undergraduates with nothing better t do. But that, after all, is not ver: serious. There is a man named Mr. Clar who is going to coach a Detroit pr team in the National league nex season, and he is getting quite a fe good players lined up, both fron Michigan and other places. He is re ported as claiming to have an agree ment with Herm Everhardus. Professional football, at its outset did not amount to very much. Th crowds wanted the college atmospher instead of the spectacle of twenty two business men going about thei vocation, supposedly with no moreen thusiasm and snap than a retire broker clipping bond coupons befor the depression. Of course recentl: such exertion hasn't been particularl; worth the trouble., T ANY RATE, the pros starte coming up in the world as th public began to be educated to ap preciate the finer points of the gain rather than the trimming on the ban uniforms and what is coming out o the flask. And the professional gam began to take in money. The technics part of the game came to the fore. At 'present people in the section where there are both college and pro fessional teams are located, usuall take their choice between going t the. local institution of learning o: Saturday or to the professional par on Sunday. Due to prices, taking i: botiis next to prohibitive. So it look like a local price war. The ironical part of the whole sit uation is that the man who did mor than anything else to make the Amer Ican. public appreciate fine footba: above merely enthusiastic football i Benny Friedman, quarterback extra ordinary, who used to play for Mich igan.

Ball Team To Play Western State Today 'Da Preem' Gets In Shape With Fancy Posing Patchin To Start Against Strong Hilltopper Nine At Kalamazoo The Michigan baseball team will leave at 11 a.m. today for Kalamazoo, where Western State will be played this afternoon. After the game, the team will depart for Evanston, where Northwestern will provide the oppo- sition for the Wolverines in the Con- ference inaugural, Friday, with a second encounter between the teams, Saturday. In recent years, the Teachers from Kalam zoo have turned out one of the beet nines in the Mid-West, and this year is no exception. Western State defeated the University of Chicago 8-4, in its opening game, and followed it up with a 14-7 win over Notre Dame. Brandt, a lefthander, will pitch against the Wolverines, and he will be a tough customer to beat. Fisher Gunning For Western Coach Ray Fisher is pointing his boys for the game today, as he is very desirous of humbling the strong Western Staters, who have in recent years, taken the spotlight away from the Maize and Blue on the diamond. Because he showed more stuff on the training trip than any other Michigan hurler, Art Patchin has d r a w n the pitching assignment against Western State. Fisher will still have two of his best pitching bets in "Whitey" Wistert and Harry Tillotson to use against the Wild- cats. Fish, Settle, and Wilson will be available for relief duty. Northwestern will face Michigan with a supposedly strong hitting team. Jake Sullivan, Nelson Culver, Roy Auguston ,and Milt Rosenfeld, all good hitters, are the heavy guns in the Wildcat attack. Harris Will Pitch For N. U. Co-Captain Herb Harris, one of the most able southpaws in the Con- ference during the last two years, will probably face the Wolverines Friday, with Lagger, a 200 pound be- hemoth whose main asset is a good fast ball, or Pederson, another left- hander, coming back in the second game of the series. Coach Fisher's slugging sextet of Waterbor, Artz, Petoskey, Wistert, Paulson, and Regeczi, all of whom have amassed batting averages well over .300, on the Eastern trip, can outslug any team in the Conference, if they treat Conference pitchers in the same manner they treated the Eastern hurlers. The outfield is airtight defensively. John Regeczi, in left field, is very fast in getting under fly balls, and he has a fine arm. Ted Petoskey, cen- terfielder, covers more ground than the tarpaulin in the stadium, and Captain Artz in right field never drops a fly ball, If the infield improves on its show- ing in the East, Michigan's ball club will be a serious titular contender. The team will line up against West- ern State with the same batting order of Waterbor, Artz, Petoskey, Oliver, Wistert, Paulson, Regeczi, Chapman, and Patchin. The 16 ball players who are making the trip are; pitchers, Wistert, Patch- in, Tillotson, Wilson, Settle, Fish, infielders; Lerner, Paulson, Waterbor, Oliver, Parker, Bolas; catcher, Chap- man; outfielders, Artz, Petoskey, Re- geczi.

Ten Golfers To Be Carried. On VarsitySquad A Varsity golf squad of 10 men and a freshman squad of eight will be carried throughout the season, ac- cording to Thomas Brueblood, coach. Capt. Ed. Dayton, Cal Markham, George David, Carroll Sweet, Chuck Kocsis, and Woody Malloy are the men who have won Varsity standing at present, the other four positions remaining still open. Little is known of the freshman candidates at pres- ent. To retain positions on these squads it is necessary to turn in three properly attested 18-hole scores each week. Members of the squads, how- ever, may play without fee. About 100 golfers took advantage of fine weather to tour the University course as it was opened for the sea- son yesterday. Under the direction of groundskeeper Bill Slack the course, despite recent inclement weather, has been brought into a condition better than that of the same time in 1933. The prices of last season will continue in effect this year. I. .d W OM E N'S SPORTS Spring Activity Now that summer weather is really here (that should precipitate a sleet storm this afternoon) Palmer Field begins to look once more like an ath- letic field again rather than a duck pond. The clay courts will be ready for play by the end of the week, and the archery and baseball courts are open now. Since the entry lists for the indi vidual sport tournaments were not all turned in before vacation, the playoffs have been held up. However drawings will be made this week-end with the names already turned in, and play will start Monday regard- less of everything except weather. Consequently all these remaining lists must be turned in at either Barbour Gym or the Field House by Friday of this week. Baseball Alpha Xi Delta has already been out for a practice on the baseball dia- mond. The Alpha Phi house will be represented by two teams in the Class A tourney.
