MAY 10,1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY U - Z;;;; - Varsity Meets Buckeye Nine In Game Today Larson And Peters Will Be Opposing Moundsmen In First Contest Of Series Tilt Starts At 4:05 Milt Meltzer May Replace Vic Heyliger In Attempt To Strengthen Hitting Michigan and Ohio State, fourth and third place clubs respectively in the Big Ten baseball race, will play the first of a crucial two-game series today, to determine which team will go on to challenge Illinois and Chicago, present leaders of the League. The game will begin at 4:05 on Ferry Field. Both outfits have lost two games, one to each other and the second to Illinois. The Buckeyes have won four while the Wolverines have won two. Despite the difference in the stand- ings at present the teams are even- ly matched. Michigan has the edge in the fielding and pitching depart- ments, whereas Ohio State has a hard-hitting nine, a factor which cov- ers a multitude of sins in baseball. One defeat would be disastrous to either team. Two wins for the Buck- eyes would put them in second place with a fine chance to sail on to at least a tie for the title. Two wins for Michigan would put the Wolverines in third place with a hurdle yet to get over in the form of Illinois. The result of the games played a Columbus earlier in the season, w'en each team won one and lost one, would indicate an even break in the pres- ent series, but the decision of Coach Ray Fisher to pit Berger Larson against Ronnie Pe- ters in today's game may mean a clean sweep for Michigan; if past records can be re- lied upon. Peters' one-hit LARSON per formanc e against the Wolverines was not as im- pressive as Larson's shut-out, two-hit win over the Buckeyes, and many ob- servers believe the latter will have the best of the Buckeye hurler, if the Wolverine curve ball artist is in form. The second game will likely see Art Patchin and Marvin Ulrich opposed to each other on the mound. Ulrich was shelled from the box at Columbus, whereas Patchin lost to Peters, 3 to 2, allowing but five hits. Fisher is again confronted with the problem of who will start in right field. Heyliger has started in all games since his first appearance, against Northwestern, but has failed to hit and in the last two contests has been relieved by Joe Lerner. Milt "Gomez" Meltzer, a former pitcher, has been showing considerable hitting ability in practice and Fisher is con- templating using him. Batting averages released yester- day and including all games played to date show that Michigan has three regulars hitting .300 or better, but that the team average is a woeful .225. Vic Heyliger is still leading with .333. Russ Oliver is next with .305, and Kim Williams follows with an even .300. PROBABLE LINEUPS Four Michigan Men Qualify For N.C.A.A. Meet Two Ohio State Track Men Also Eligible To Attend Contest At California Six entries in Saturday's Ohio State-Michigan track meet have al- ready qualified for the N.C.A.A. meet to be held June 21-22 by the Univer- sity of California, according to an- nouncements received here this week. Qualifying marks for the national meet are established by the meet's committee and must be met during the outdoor season by all entrants in order to compete. The six who have already qualified are Willis Ward, Paul Gorman, How- ard Davison and Walter Stone, for. Michigan, and Jesse Owens and John Wonsowitz for the Buckeyes. Seven other entries in Saturday's meet are considered likely qualifiers on that day. Owens has already qualified in three events, the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and the broad jump. His mark of 9.5 seconds in the short dash at Drake is .3 seconds better than necessary, and his 26 feet 13/4 inches in the broad jump is more than two feet above the minimum. Owens last Saturday ran the furlong in 21 seconds flat to qualify in that event. Ward Is Leading Contender Ward is the leading Michigan con- tender for honors at the national meet, but has qualified in but one event, the high hurdles. Histime of 14.5 seconds in winning the 110-meter event in the Penn Relays easily quali- fied him, and also stamped as one of the outstanding hurdlers in the coun- try as he proved his superiority over the best in the East. He had already defeated California's best, considered to be the ranking stars on the coast. Whether Ward will make an at- tempt at qualifying in any other of his several favorite events on Satur- day will depend entirely on his condi- tion, Coach Chuck Hoyt said yester- day. Ward will take no chance on his leg injury with the Conference meet two weeks away, he said. The other*'Michigan men who have qualified for the national meets are Gorman and Davidson, both of whom broke the necessary 1:56 in the half- mile last week, and Walter Stone, who ran almost eight seconds better STAR DL Results of the last two ball games with Illinois and Toledo have strengthened a growing conviction that Michigan's baseball team can't come from behind to win a close con- test. Both games were lost, the for- mer, 1 to 0, and the latter, 2 to 1, because Michigan's batting order didn't contain sufficient punch, luck, or more aptly, hitting ability to drive in even a single run on at least 10 different occasions in which base- runners were in scoring position dur- ing the two games. Clayt Paulson, Capt. Russ Oliver and John Regeczi, all of whom hit well over .300 last year and who bat in the potent positions of the batting order, have been the chief offendersl in failing to hit with men on. Each of the three is in the throes of a des- perate batting slump which has plunged batting averages downward. Five of the Wolverines' six defeats to date have been by one-run mar- gins, including two 3-2 scores, and 1-0, 2-1 and 5-4 results, the other loss being a 4-0 decision to Duke. Michigan's five victories were ac- quired in games in which the Wolv- erines spurted away to early leads which were never threatened because of the effective hurling of Berger Larson, Art Patchin, and in one case, the collaborated efforts of John Gee and George Butler. .Michigan's two-man pitching staff, Michigan Links JUST SquadLeaes TEN S( uaI Leaves SFor Champain Larson and Patchin, were victims four o times of their teammates inability to come through in the pinches.
