MARCH 17, 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Golfers To Defend Intercollegiate Crown At Rockville, Md. Squad Will Be Chosen From Nine Veterans -Fischer And Koscis Are Expected To Alternate As Number One Man With the announcement that Mich- igan would defend its National Inter-, collegiate championship at the Con- gressional Country Club of Rockville Maryland June 24-29, Coach Ray Courtright issued notice to members of both Varsity and freshman squads to begin whipping their games into shape for the 36-hole qualifying tour- nament to determine the personnel of both squads the week after Spring Vacation. Michigan, with probably the great- est team ever to compete on the Uni- versity course, will play six dual meets during the season in addition to the Big Ten meet at Evanston, May 20 and 21, and the National Intercolle- giates after the close of school. Malloy Third Man With Johnny Fischer and Chuck Kocsis probably alternating at the number one position, Woody Malloy at number three, and a host of good golfers to select from for the number four position, including Captain Cal. Markham, Dana Seeley, Carrol Sweet, Larry David, captain of the hockey team, Allan Saunders and Bill Grif- fiths, the 1935 team should be even stronger than last year. Perhaps the tightest battle in the last decade will take place at the Congressional Country Club when strong teams like Georgia Tech, Louis- iana State, Yale, Leland Stanford, and Notre Dame attempt to lift the crown which the Wolverines will be defending. Qualifying After Vacation Professor Thomas C. Trueblood, coach, will return to Ann Arbor about April 12. The first qualifying round of 36 holds will be held immediately after Spring Vacation in order to deter- mine the eight-man Varsity and eight-man yearling squads which are extended the privileges of the course without charge. The complete schedule is as follows: April 20 Michigan State, away. April 27 Purdue, here. May 4 Ohio State, here. May 11 Illinois, away. May 13 Northwestern, away. May 18 Michigan State, here. May 20, 21 Big Ten meet at Evanston. June 24-29 National Intercollegiates at Rockville, Md.

Dizzy And Paul Discuss Season's Outlook STAR *DUST *-y ART CARSTENS- BASEBALL experts adjudge a bat- tery to be seventy per cent of a nine's defensive strength. Pitchers are usually regarded as being more val- uable to a team than their battery mate, but Mickey Cochrane, manager and catcher of the Detroit Tigers, demonstrated last year just how in- dispensable a good catcher is to a team's winning habits. In other years, the Tigers were just as strong or stronger than they were last year in all departments save catching, but they never won a pen- nant. Cochrane called every pitch, and he knew what to call for because the Tiger hurlers seldom shook him off, his accurate arm relieved his pitchers of the tension of operating under conditions which are favorable to base stealers, and finally he dished out a line of spirited gab which bol- stered his hurlers courage. Pitchers on this year's squad who were starting out two years ago, throwing to Mike Diffley, Michigan's last good catcher, aver that they were much more effec- tive while pitching with Mike do-{ ing the receiving. They had confidence in Diffley's judgment and throwing arm. These same pitchers didn't have the same confidence in Michigan's catcher last year with the result that the pitchers who only lost two Conference games the year Diffley caught, lost six last year, despite the fact that they were pitching for a much stronger hitting team. With the importance of a catcher in mind, we are wondering who is go- ing to do the catching for Michigan this season. Judging by last year's freshman and Varsity nine's records, hearsay, sentiment around the train- ing camp, The Daily's baseball critic, and our own observations, Coach Fisher has, potentially, at least three good out-fielders, six efficient infield- ers, a good staff of hurlers, but a ques- tion mark where the backstop squats. Five men, who range from last year's football captain to a hockey right winger, are candidates for the job. But none of them na- turally possess the qualities at- tributed to Cochrane. Kim Wil- liams, sophomore who was first string catcher for the freshman last year, is a likely prospect to win the Varsity post, mainly by virtue of superior hitting. He bats left handed and is far and above the best hitter among the catch- ers.. Whether he can size up opposing batter's weaknesses, inspire pitchers with confidence and throw to the bases, will soon become apparent. Harold Parker, reserve catcher last year, Tom Austin, last year's grid captain, Dick Berryman, hockey play- er and catcher on last year's fresh- man, and "Joe" Rosen, who played freshman ball, are pressing Williams for the regular job, probably rating in the order named. None of them have yet shown rifle arms, but Mich- igan's pitchers are hoping one of them turns out to be a catcher a la Diffley.

Working behind the hurling of Al- vin Crowder and Clyde Hatter the bludgeoning Tigers connected for 17 hits. Despite the presence of three rookies in the lineup, the Tigers fielded smoothly with only one error chalked against them. Hank Greenberg led the attack. In five trips to the plate he hit four times, once for the circuit. Crowder was nicked for three hits in five in- nings, and Hatter, the Louisville re- cruit, for two in four. Wilson used four hurlers in a vain attempt to stop the champions. BROWNS WIN, 4 TO 3 WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 16 --AP)- A blowup on the part of Pitcher Moore in the ninth inning today paved the way for a St. Louis Browns 4 to 3 victory'over the Balti- more Orioles in an exhibition game here today.

The flat-footed Evansville (Ind.) boy who set a new world's indoor 600- yard record of 1:11.3 at the Millrose Games, the first time he raced the distance, will have plenty of compe- tition. Ivan Fuqua, co-captain with Horn- bostel of Indiana University's 1934 track team and his partner in many an "iron man" stunt for the Hoo- siers, and Otto Pongrace former Mich- igan State middle-distance star, will start against the bespectacled speed- r ster. Fuqua, like Hornbostel, a member of the 1932 United States Olympic -' team, was beaten in the Millrose 600, but believes he will do better on the new sponge clay track of the Butler Field House. -associated Press Photo.

However, predictions of more frost, and the fact that only once in history has Michigan's baseball squad made so early an advent to the open air, have resigned Fisher and his proteges to at least another week in the Field House. The boys have started mixing their diet of batting practice with hook sliding practice into the sliding pit. In the event that practice is con- fined to the Field House next week, Coach Fisher's squad will begin drills upon another phase of the game. Pitchers will be drilled in holding run- ners close to the bag, while the base runners will try to get a break on the pitchers. Fisher will make another cut .in his squad, probably the final one, to- morrow.
