THE MICHIGAN DAILY Baseball Team Leaves Today On Road Trip Patchin To Start First Game Against Marshall College Tomorrow To PlayNine Games Coach Fisher Is Taking 17 Men On Tour South; Five Pitchers Go Three automobiles carrying 17 hap- py Michigan baseball players and the somewhat gloomy Coach Ray Fisher will leave here at 1 p.m. this after- noon, started on the first leg of a nine-game road series which takes in college nines in Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. 'Fisher will drive one car, Capt. Russ Oliver another, and Art Patchin will pilot the third. A trailer will be used to carry luggage. Present plans are to arrive in Hunt- ington, West Va., early Friday after- noon, after spending the night at some hotel on the way. The boys will have a few hours to get the kinks out of their legs before opening the baseball season, with Marshall Col- lege. Patchin To Start Art Patchin, lone veteran hurler, who has been named to hurl the open- er for the Wolverines, is in good con- dition and will work at least six in- nings if all goes well. He will be fol- lowed by either John (Lefty) Gee, sophomore pitching giant, or George Butler, another sophomore, with a chance that Oliver will give the Mar- shall batters a look at his curve ball. Although this year's club has had an unprecedented numhber of out- door workouts prior to the opening game of the spring training trip, Fisher is dissatisfied with the progress made in the hitting and pitching de- partments thus far. While the field- ing has been good, cold weather has handicapped the hitters, and the hurlers have not had a suitably warm day in which they could really "let loose" for any length of time. Batting Order Given Fisher yesterday announced a bat- ting order which has George Ford, third, leading off, followed by Joe Lerner, right field, George Rudness, center field, Clayt Paulson, second, Oliver, first, John Regeczi, left field, Kim Williams, catcher, Jack Teitel- baum, shortstop, and Patchin, pitch- er. After meeting Marshall College, the Wolverines move on to Salem, Va., -Aw- :.L 4 "3' F' STARCARSTENS DEAR ART:f I may be a menber of the "much-ridiculed" sex - but I do know some- thing about baseball and am greatly interested in the game. I wonder if it1 would be possible for you to run some sort of a contest through your columni inviting Michigan students to send in their guesses on the major league races? Just in case you are interested here are my selections: NATIONAL LEAGUE AMERICAN LEAGUE New York Detroit St. Louis New York Pittsburgh Boston Chicago Cleveland - Boston . St. Louis Brooklyn Washington Cincinnati Philadelphia Philadelphia Chicago Bartel should make A world of difference with the Giants. The Cards will find that even the great Deans cannot keep up with Hubbell, Schumacher, Fitzsimmons, and Parmalee. The Cubs will be a disappointment. Charlie. Grimm (the poorest excuse for a manager in either league) will discover that you can't trade three first-string pitchers and still have a first-string ball club. Barring serious injuries, Detroit should repeat. Greenberg should have a great year. Hogsett may be a starting pitcher. He displayed real form in the World Series and will provide the Tiges with an effective lefty, along with the two rookies -- Hatter and Sullivan. Boston is a doubtful team with the effectiveness of Grove, Pipgras, Fer- rell and Walberg determirning their position. N.Y. will threaten but will not win. Cleveland is still the "Best Team on Paper" but still won't win the pennant. What do you think, Art? "DOROTHY FAN" Dear Dorothy Fan: I think that I should like to invite you to attend the opener with me in Detroit, April 16, that is, if you really are a girl, which I am inclined to doubt. None of my beagle-nosed assistants could detect the faintest odor of perfume or powder on your dainty epistle, and that is generally a pretty- good test. I agree with you, Dot, in general, but think: 1. That St. Louis will again win the National League pennant. 2. That Cleveland wil finish higher than fourth, probably in second, with the Yanks third. If you will call me at the office this afternoon or evening we may be able to get together on that April 16 date. Here Is Proof That Athletes A re Not So Dumb After All' The award this week of the Con- ference medal for scholarship and athletics to Harvey Smith, captain of Michigan's track team, recalls the fallacy of the old saw that "all ath- letes are dumb." The Conference Medal is one of two awards given annually to Michigan men for combining proficiency in ath- letics and scholarship. The other award is the scholarship of $100 awarded annually by thef Board in Control of Physical Educa- tion to the Varsity letter winner with the highest scholastic standing. The scholarship last year was won1 by Bill Boice, Varsity swimmer, who at the present time has a standing of 348 honor points for 121 hours of com- bined work in the Engineering and Literary Colleges.Nelson Droullard, a reserve award winner in track, has even bettered Boice's record, however, with an honor point index of 3.66 for 74 hours in the Engineering College. Among the senior athletes with exceptional averages are Rod Howell, cross-country and track star, who has made 243 points with 112 hours; Sey- mour Rubin, wrestler, with 298 honor points for 112 hours; Cal Markham, golf captain, who has made 236 points with 104 hours; and Tage Jacobson, with 226 points from 123 hours of work, the points being given as 3 for A Tankinen Face Biggest Test Of Season Today NEW YORK, April 3.--(Spe- ciaD -Michigan's intercollegiate swimming champions face their most strenuous test of the year to- morrow as they start on a three- day trail to the National A.A.U. crown in the New York A.C. pool. For the first time this season Coach Matt Mann's Wolverines are not heavy favorites to come out victorious; it is thought that indi- vidual stars will cut into the Michigan score to such an extent that the New York A.C. will win the team title. Jack Kasley, the Wolverine re- lay teams, and Co-Captain Tay- lor Drysdale are the only possi- bilities for Michigan victories. Jack Medica, the Spence broth- ers, Matt Chortowski, and Dick Degener head the parade of indi- vidual stars who will compete. ner of the Conference Medal, has made '228 points with 133 hours. Harvey Patton, junior track star. has an average of approximately 2.7 per hour of credit. Among the sophomore athletes who have made outstanding scholastic records is John Gee, basketball letter winder and baseball pitcher, who has made better than a B average with 93 honor points f or 45 hours of work. Recent winners of the Conference Medal have included Jim Cristy, last year's swimming captain, Ivan Wil- liamson, football captain in 1932, Ed A, - Russell; 1932 track captain, and Perry Harvey Smith, recently named win- Austin, track distance ace, in 1931.
