WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAI Fisher Pitches As Nine Shows Batting Power Kremer Exhibits Definite Ability At Plate; Larson In Good Condition It was pitcher Ray Fisher, rather than coach, who sent the Michigan baseball squad through a long Field House hitting drill yesterday, and when the former major league ace had finished hurling to various of his men in the batting cage he was con- fident that the Wolverine offensive would be strong enough next week to down a number of the southern teams. Fisher had planned to send his charges through an intra-squad game before a sudden blizzard hit Ferry Field and made playing outside im- possible. If conditions are not fa- vorable for outdoor work this after- noon, the squad will head south Fri- day with only five days of outdoor drill behind them. Shifted To Outfield Merle Kremer's ability at the plate was particularly praised by Fisher yesterday, for the Ohio southpaw drove Fisher's own pitches back at him with a force that spoke loudly of future base hits. Kremer reported in the winter as a. hurler and worked in that capacity until his arm went bad. Shifted to the outfield when the team went out- side in March, he performed ably in the garden and will be in left field in the season's opener Friday. His hit- ting has shown a steady improve- ment all through the training season, and Fisher feels that if it continues Kremer will be one of his best hit- ters. Has The Power He hits from the left side of the plate and puts a tremendous amount of power in his swings. To date his main and only weakness has been on inside pitches around the knees. Other types he usually meets square- ly. Capt. Berger Larson spent a long time in the cage yesterday, but at no 'time bore down. He seems in per- fect shape to start Friday's game at Ohio Wesleyan. Coach Fisher is ex- pected to make the announcement today as to what men will make up1 the squad on the spring training jaunt. Eight pre-conference games are scheduled, and the trip will wind up at Columbus April 20 and 21 where Ohio State will be faced in the first two Big Ten games. I-ym Sports A new departure in All-Campus tennis will be tried this spring, ac- cording to I.M. officials. A tourna- ment entrance fee of 10 cents will be charged, and the funds so collected will go to buy medals for the winner and runner-up in each class. If enough entries are received under this new plan, it will be possible to provide medals for the other two semi-finalists. Each contestant must provide three new balls, and the winner of each match will keep the three unused balls, while those used in that match will go to the loser. In addition, three new balls will be given to each winner, as has been the policy in previous years. Entries in this event will have to be made personally, at the Intramural Sports Building. Championships in the faculty divi- sion of the campus handball tourna- ment will be decided this week with the playing of the final two rounds. On Monday Earnest M. Espelie and Julius White meet in the semi-finals of one bracket of the singles tourna- ment while Alexander H. Smith and C. D. Jones will fight it out for the privilege of play in the finals in the other bracket. Because of a recent petition by 10 fraternities for an interfraternity golf tournament, the Intramural De- partment has sent out questionnaires to all of the houses on campus to find out if such a tournament would draw enough entries to make it worthwhile. The entries are due today, and if enough houses show interest the play will be held on Saturday, May 16. The tournament will be conducted by the match play system with each team consisting of four men. Entries will close this week for softball teams and for fraternity horseshoe and tennis squads. Play will start immediately after spring va- cation. All-campus singles entries for tennis are due in on April 16 with play beginning April 22, directly after vacation.

Exactly one player, enrolled in college at the present time and competing on a col- legiate team, was named as a mem- ber of the 13-man squad and he, Ralph Bishop of the University of Washington, was chosen as the thir- teenth man. Playing before a crowd of 5,000 "howling" fans the Universal Pic- tures quintet of Hollywood, Cal., won the finals of the tournament defeat- ing the Globe Oil Refining Company team of McPherson, Kan., by a one- point margin Sunday night at Madi- son Square Gardens in New York. Both of the finalists were amateur teams, or perhaps better described as semi-pro's. The members of the two win- ning squads have all played bas- ketball many years, most of them for a number of years since their graduation from college. In the opinion of most experts they mld hae reah d thp final of Awards Given ' To Outstanding Frosh Boxers! Larson Presents Golden Gloves To Fifteen Men; Service Named Best Fifteen freshman pugilists were! presented recently with miniature golden gloves, engraved with the num- ber, '39, as awards for distinguished work in their sport, and thus. accord- ing to Coach Verne Larson became the first group of freshmen in the history of boxing at this university to receive awards for yearling gloveI activities. The select group was chosen by' Coach Larson from a squad of nearly4 forty candidates, who worked out under him at various times during the year. The boys were chosen on the basis of ability, interest, and dili- gence displayed by them. Gridders, Reduced By Cut, End Drills Today This afternoon's scheduled grid scrimmage will conclude the first chapter of Spring football prac- tice when Coach Harry Kipke sends his squad-reduced by 15-18 men as a result of the first spring cut in more than six years- through their final workout be- fore vacation. The men cut from the roster include mostly freshmen with the exception of several sophomores and juniors who failed to make the squad last fall. Today's practice will conclude football training until April 20 when an intensive Spring prac- tice program will begin. Wheth- er or not Kipke would make fur- ther cuts in the squad which now numbers approximately 75 men, could not be definitely ascertained, but the move appeared to em- phasize that he intends to brook loafing or indifferent play on the part of no one.
