Golf And Track Teams Meet Big Len Rivals Here Swimming Captain Larson And Swanson Oppose Each Other Tight Hurling Duel To In Gan e Starts At 2:45 Patchin Reports Soreness In Hurling Arm; Caught Cold In PracticeI A modified guarantee that Mich- igan's baseball team will meet Illinois at 2:45 p.m. today on the Ferry Field diamond was made yesteriday by Coach Ray Fisher. If it doesn't rain during game time and if the diamond is in passable shape, the game will be played, no matter if the temperature hovers around the 40-degree mark, Fisher said. To add to the mentor's worries, Art Patchin, veteran hurler, reported a sore arm yesterday. It appears that Patchin caught cold in his pitching arm last Wednesday when he worked in thebox during a practice game. The day was a fairly cold one, as spring days go, the contest with Hills- dale having been called off for the second time. The result of the work- out was felt immediately afterward by Patchin, his arm stiffening at the elbow. It is expected that treatments with a private physician will find him in good shape again in a few days. Bgtger Larson has survived the cold without mishap and will fill the pitch- ing assignment against the Illini in an attempt to put Michigan in first place in the Big Ten with a win. Hale Swanson, who has hurled in four of the five Illinois Conference games this season, winning three and losing on'e, will be on the mound for the visitors. Swanson has allowed an average of a little more than five hits a game, has one shut-out to his credit, and has been driven from the box once in four starts. Ohio State, a team which Berger Larson let down with two hits and no runs, lost to Swanson in the first game between the Buckeyes and the Illini, but came back in the second meeting to get seven hits in four innings off the Illi- nois ace, driving him to the showers. Michigan's lineup will remain the same for today's game, with the ex- ception that Joe Lerner may start in place of Vic Heyliger in right field. Fisher was not able to decide yester- day whom it would be. Illinois has a harder hitting outfit than the Wolverines, according to the batting averages. While one man, Heyliger, is batting above .300 for Michigan in Big Ten games, Illinois has three. Capt. Ben Lewis, be- sides being a good fielder at third, leads his mates with a .450 average. Murray Franklin, a newcomer at second base, is batting .400, and RednDuffner, first sacker, an even .300. PROBABLE LINEUPS Minnesota To Open Big Ten Cinder Season Bad Weather May Drive I Jumpers, Shot Putters, Distance Men Indoors Michigan's track team, Big Ten in-+ door champions, will begin its quest for the outdoor crown this afternoon on Ferry Field meeting Minnesota in the Wolverines' first Conference dual meet outdoors and their first home showing. The meet will begin at 2 p.m. In case of continued inclement weather, all field events except the javelin and discus will be moved in-i doors. There is also a possibility that the running events, longer than the 220 yard dash, will also be on the track in Yost Field House. Entire Squad To Compete Coach Chuck Hoyt has named his entire squad to compete in the meet, and the Gophers are expected to of- fer but little resistance to the strong Michigan team. A 12-man squad swamped Minnesota in a dual meet indoors during the winter. Willis Ward, suffering from a leg injury incurred last week at the Penn Relays, will not run, taking no chances on aggravating the injury. The Gophers will present their cus- tomary strength in the weight events, but are not expected to offer ev- tended competition in the track events with the exception of the two- mile, two-mile races, and possibly the hundred yard dash. In the mile and two-mile Minneso- ta will bring Wayne Slocum, who has done 4:28 in the mile and the two- mile in 9:26. Slocum placed second in the Conference two-mile event in- doors.' Hichigan Nines Hold 13-j Game Edge Over Illini Michigan's baseball rivalry with Illinois, which is cf longes'stand- ing and more intense than any other in the Conference, began in 1892, then the barehanded, em- oryo stages of the diamond sports when the Wolverines handed the lini an 18-0 shellacking. Since then the two teams haveI met upon 70 occasions, with Mich- igan nines holding a large margin of victories over their arch rivals. Michigan has won 41 times, Illi- nois 28. while one contest resulted in a 6-6 tie, in 1895. The largest score rolled up by one team camei about in 1893, Michigan winning 20 to 3. Mere reently, 1925, the Wolverines drubbed Illinois 19-5. During Coach Ray Fisher's re- gime as the Maize and Blue coach, which began in 1921, Mich- igan has achieved 13 triumps over Illinois, while losing 12.. Over the stretch of 70 gaines, Michigan hastamassed a total of 391 runs while Orange and Blue runners have crossed home plate 318 times. Blues, Yellows Meet Today In Annual Battle Football Squad Concludes Spring Practice With Game In Stadium Frank Fehsenfeld, national inter- collegiate high and low board diving champion, was elected captain of the 1935-36 Michigan swimming team it was announced at the annual swim- ming banquet last night. Though rated as an All-American he failed to win his letter last year. Michigan Net Team Loses To Chicago, 6 To 3 CHICAGO, May 3 --(P)- The Uni- versity of Chicago, Big Ten defending tennis champion, defeated Michigan, the 1934 runner-up, 6 to 3, today in a dual meet held in the Maroon field house. The event was forced indoors be- cause of weather conditions. Trevor Weiss, Chicago captain, made short work of Seymour Siegel, Michigan's captain, who was runner- up in the Big Ten singles tourney last year, setting him down, 6-1, 6-1, in the number one singles test. Howie Kahn and John Rodriguez were the only Wolverines who were able to win in the six singles matches played. Kahn defeated Patterson, Chicago veteran, in a three-set match, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, to extend his string of singles victories to six straight for the season. Rodriguez defeated Duhl easily, 7-5, 6-0.

A record outpouring of 70,000 spec- tators was anticipated for the sixty- first Kentucky Derby at picturesque Churchill Downs. The famous track was hock-deep in mud today after a series of terri- fic thunder storms but it escaped damage from the wind and lightning which left a trail of wreckage else- where in the vicinity. Clearing skies today forecast the likelihood of a good track, even if a.trifle heavy, by Derby post time, approximately 5:45 p.m., Eastern Standard. Twenty-two three-year-olds, in- cluding the crack filly Nellie Flag, co- favorite for the big race with Corneli- us Vanderbilt Whitney's colt, Today, have been named for the mile and a quarter. Indications point to a wide open stretch battle and one of the closest finishes in years. With $40,000 added, the Derby will have a gross value of $56,550, if all entries go to the post, and be worth $46.125 net to the winner. The expec- SUMMARIE S Singles: Weiss (C) defeated Siegel (M), 6-1, 6-1. Mertz (C) defeated Anderson (M), 3-6, 6-1, 7-5. Burgess (C) defeated Sherwood (M), 6-3, 6-4. Kahn (M) defeated Patterson (C), 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Bickel (C) defeated Eskowitz (M), 6-8, 6-4, 6-4. Rodriguez (M) defeated Duhl (C), 7-5, 6-0.

Eskowitz and Rodriguez (M) de- feated Mertz and Hamburger (C), 6-3, 6-3. Mann's Tankmnen Will Give Exhibition Today Coach Matt Mann and his Varsity' swimming team, perennial National Collegiate and Conference champions, will entertain visiting high school coaches at 1 p.m. today with an ex- hibition to be given in the Intramural pool. The entire squad will be on hand for the performance including Taylor Drysdale, three times National Col- legiate backstroke champion; Frank Fehsenfeld, National high and lowE board diving champion; Jack Kasley,' National champion and record holder in the breaststroke; Tex Robertson Big Ten distance champion; and the National championship Wolverine1 medley and sprint relay teams. Slocum Is Gopher Ace Should Slocum enter both events however, he will not be expected to appear as a certain first-place win- ner in either. Captain Harvey Smith, Clayton Brelsford, and Paul Pinker- ton, converted to the mile for this meet from the two-mile, will be ex- pected to best the Gopher ace in the shorter event. In the longer run, Slocum will face serious competition from Walter Stone, who has displayed distinct improvement in the succeed- ing meets, particularly if Slocum is entered in the mile run, which comes first on the program of events. Bill Freimuth, who won the Con- ference shot put title indoors and placed fifth in last year's outdoor meet, will be practically conceded the shot put, despite an injured back, on the basis of his best throw of 49 feet, 10%/2 inches. He has also thrown the discus better than 144 feet. Dominic Krewzowski is another con- sistent shot putter, at about 45 feet. In the jump events Bob Larson will carry the Gopher strength. He is a consistent six-foot high jumper. Minnesota Nine Snowed Out Of Opening Game Eight Big Ten baseball teams are scheduled to swing into action to- day, weather permitting, with the Michigan-Illinois struggle for first place holding the limelight. Minnesota, opening its league sea- son two weeks later than the other Conference nines, was snowed out at Evanston yesterday and will meet Northwestern in a double bill today. The Gophers have six straight prac- tice games under their belt and are favored to trim the Wildcats who have already dropped two Conference tilts while winning one. Cold weather cancelled the Wiscon- sin-Iowa game at Iowa City yester- day, and the two teams are booked to tangle in a double header today. Neither team appears to rate as a titular contender, Wisconsin having met defeat twice by Illinois, with the Hawkeyes possessing an average of one victory and one defeat. Indiana, hold fourth place in the Big Ten standings, meets the Maroons at Chicago. Indiana, with Ed Hosler in the box should be too strong for the weak Chicago nine. The Hoosiers took two games from Purdue, two weeks ago, but lost to Ohio State twice last week. Chicago split a two-game series with Purdue last Saturday. l S t 9 s S t i a n i s; n t p a The first inklings of what Mich- igan will do on the gridiron next fall will be offered Wolverine grid fans when Coach Harry Kipke leads his spring football squad in the Stadium at 4:15 this afternoon for the annual spring game between the Blues and the Yellows. The Blue team, in charge of Jerry Ford and with Capt. Bill Renner at quarterback, will go into the game slight favorites over Bill Borgmann's Yellows. The majority of the players on each team are freshmen who are expected' to play an important part in the Wolverine grid program next' fall, and their performances this after- noon will be watched closely as an indication of 1935 potentialities The regular Stadium amplifying' system will be in action this after- noon for the convenience of specta- tors with a play by play account of proceedings on the field. The starting lineups for both teams are as follows: Buckeye Golf Team To Meet VarsityToday Ohio State To Bring Only Five Men; Match Sorts At 9 A.M. Fresh from victories over the Uni- versity of Davton and Indiana, a five man Buckeye golf team meets the Wolverines over the University golf course this morning and this afternoon in the second Conference match of the 1935 season for both teams. Because Ohio State has brought only five men. there will be one singles I match in addition to the two four- s;me matches in the morning accord- ing to Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood, coach. In the first best ball foursome Johnny Fischer and Al Saunders will engage Bill St. John and Bill Love- berry, while in the second Chuck Koc- sis and Captain CalCMarkham will play against Bob Coe and Dick Brindle if the same pairings are used by Coach Harold G. Olson that he employed against the Hoosiers last week. Dana Seeley will play the single individual match of the morn- ing, and if the above pairings are retained by Coach Olson, will battle Ken Landis of Ohio State. The morn- ing play will begin at 9 a.m. The five individual matches of the afternoon will find Fischer, Kocsis, Woody Malloy, Carrol Sweet, and Larry David swinging into action against St. John, Brindle, Coe, Landis, and Loveberry, although the exact pairings will not be determined until just before the commencement of play. The singles matches will tee-off at 2 p.m. and a large gallery is expected to follow the golfers. Indiana gave the Bucks comparatively little trouble in their Big Ten opener when they finished up on the short end of a 13-5 score. Loveberry had the low medal score of the day with a 75, and St. John and Coe had 80's. Brindle had an 82. Landis did not play in- asmuch as Indiana used only four men. The Ohio State match, as the Pur- due meet of a week ago when the Wolverines swamped Purdue, 18-0, will be played regardless of weather conditions, and if last week is any indication 'of today's play, even drenching rain will have little effect on the performance of the Michigan team. Johnny Fischer and Chuck Kocsis are playing host to the Ohio State players today. Fischer is putting up two at the Chi Psi Lodge and Kocsis two at the Lambda Chi House. Brindle will depend upon the hospitality of his Phi Psi brothers. No admission will be charged for spectators either for the morning or afternoon play. Giants Get 16 Hits To Beat Reds, 9-21 Cold weather, rain, and wet grounds all combined to cause postponements in all but two major league games. Carl Hubbell, pitching ace for the New York Giants, held the Cincin- nati Reds to six hits while his mates collected 16 at the expense of three Cincinnati hurlers to win 9 to 2. Mel Ott hit his sixth home run of the .year. In the only other game played, Van Mungo yielded but six hits to win a pitching duel from Jim Weaver as the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated Pitts- burgh 2 to 1. : . y-. STAR DUST Blues Pos.

WVHAT WITH MOTHER NATURE slamming trees around, knocking down telephone poles, deluging the countryside, and darkening entire cities in the Louisville, Ky., area, it might seem plenty hard to go about the annual business of picking the Kentucky Derby winner. But whether the Churchill Downs oval is knee deep in mud or not, this column is going right out to the extreme end of the mythical limb and make its choice. Our choice is a SURE thing, don't you forget it! ** *: *; * * NELLIE FLAG has worked sensationally. She is a great filly and undoubt- edly is the classiest of her sex to go to the post since Regret won the Derby in 1915. We don't pick her. Boxthorn, the Col. E. R. Bradley entry, has worked well lately, and is thought to have potentialities as a route run- ner. Don't like him. Today, the C. V. Whitney flash that ran off with the Wood Memorial Stakes, will be the favorite of Old Man Public - probably. This isn't our hide, either. Nor do we select Commonwealth, Mrs. Walter M. Jeffors flash, nor Roman Soldier, the ex-plater who won the Texas Derby, nor any of the others, except Omaha, the William Woodward hard-luck hide which won only one race last year and which has crashed through only once so far this year. His 1935 win was against somewhat cheaper company (Allen Z., Thorson, et. al.) it must be admitted, too. Nevertheless, this splendid distancc-running son of Gallant Fox, which incidentally used to whip Today's papa, Whichone, with regularity, has repeatedly come from far back to grab off second money when it was thought that he would be very far from the leaders. TO THOSE who are "in the know" about the horses, that should explain our point sufficiently. At distances of one mile, one mile and 70 yards,' and one mile and a sixteenth, Omaha is just beginning to work up a sweat. The Kentucky Derby distance of a mile and a quarter, we believe, should be just the thing this colt Omaha has been prospecting about for. When Psychic Bid, Nellie Flag, Today, and the others are beginning to wonder (between laborious breaths) if the race will never be over, and if that finish line will never appear, Omaha is going to be saying "Brrr, that first mile was rather chilly . . . NOW! !" And then we expect him to start stepping past the leaders the way he did in the Wood Memorial. IN THAT WOOD MEMORIAL Omaha never reached the front, held rather securely as the field thundered over the finish line, by Today, but Omaha was traveling with express train speed and was eating up ground. Plat Eye held the place only by a nose. In another sixteenth it is very probable that Omaha would have been the winner. So ... we're picking Omaha ... but the best can always run last, you know, and Omaha may do just that. We hope not. For second and third, this column is selecting Plat Eye,. which was lumbering under top weight in the Wood Memorial and which won the Chesapeake Stakes, and the speedy Miss, Nellie Flag.
