THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Nine Leaves For Wildcat Tilt; Thinclads Varsity Seeks To Hold Lead In Conference Northwestern Beaten Nine Times In Big Ten Race; Fishman To Pitch Coach Ray Fisher and a 14-man squad will leave at 3 p.m. today for Evanston to play the Wildcats Fri- day in the first of two games which will take the Wolverine team to Wis- consin on Saturday. Seeking their fifteenth win and eighth Big Ten victory, the Michigan ball club will be playing against a Northwestern squad that has played good ball at times but has showed in- consistency throughout the year. Tak- ing advantage of Wildcat misplays, Minnesota mixed up a 15-hit broad- side to send 12 runs across the plate while Northwestern was scoring five runs last Saturday at Minneapolis. In the other game, Grossman, Gopher pitching ace, hurled his third shutout of the year, beating the Wildcats 6 to 0. Northwestern has lost all nine of her Conference starts and should be an easy win for the Wolverines. Floyd Stromme, who yielded five hits and eight walks against the Gophers, will be the probable starter in Friday's game, while Herm Fishman will do the honors for the Michigan team. Men Making Trip In addition to Fishman, those mak- ing the trip are Capt. Berger Larson and John Gee, pitchers; John Jab- lonski, catcher; Joe Lerner, first base- man; Steve Uricek, second baseman; Don Brewer, shortstop; Carl Ferner, third baseman; Merle Kremer, left field; George Rudness, center field, and Vic Heyliger, right field. Moving on to Madison on Saturday, the Wolverines will play their last Conference game until they meet Iowa in a two-game series here on June 2 and 3. Providing Michigan hurdles the Badger obstacle and Iowa takes two out of three in her series with Minnesota tomorrow and Sat- urday, the Iowa-Michigan tilts will decide the Big Ten championship. Larson will be on the mound for the Wolverines Saturday and will be seek- ing his fifth win. Bill O'Brien, Wis- consin righthander will oppose him. Although splitting a two-game series with Western State on Monday and Tuesday, the Badger tilt will be the game Coach Fisher's men will shoot for. Gophers Hit Stride Although not hitting their stride until about two weeks ago, the Goph- ers have become the nemesis of all would-be championship outfits. They took the Iowa team into camp last Saturday and on the preceding Sat- urday tumbled the Illinois team from the undefeated column for the first time.. Next week's schedule for the ball club will give the team plenty of prac- tice for the Iowa series. On the twenty-sixth Western State will play the Wolverines at Ferry Field and the following day Coach Fisher's men will go to Toledo for an encounter with Toledo University.

ANDROS - 'It's In The Bag' . . THE Varsity track team leaves to- day in quest of Michigan's 15th Western Conference outdoor track championship. The Wolverines are rated the underdogs in most mid- western circles despite the fact that they are defending champions and won the indoor title last winter - but we are echoing the cry that has been ringing across Ferry Field this week: "It's in the bag." We have three reasons for our optimism. First of all Michigan has more po- tential pointwinners than any of the other contending schools. Indiana, Ohio State and Wisconsin all are tied down to a maximum number of points - only the biggest kind of an upset will bring them any unlooked- for places. Michigan's team, on the other hand, is replete with men wlJ can be expected to crash the scoring column unannounced or better their predicted position and give the Var- sity a good winning margin. In the second place Michigan has Charlie Hoyt. Charlie has been turn- ing out Varsity track teams since 1929, and every year without fail he has his men at the peak of condition for the Conference meet. The Wol- verines may drop dual-meet decisions during the season by disappointing performances, but when the Big Ten crisis comes along late in May every spring, the disappointing perform- ances are few and far between. Charlie always has his men ready, and we feel the same will be the case this week-end. THIRD and last Michigan has a tradition. It is what Mr. Yost calls "The Spirit of Michigan." And much of that tradition has been built up by Varsity performances in Con- ference track meets. Ralph Cannon, former Notre Dame athlete writing in the Chicago Daily News after Michigan unexpectedly had won the Big Ten meet in 1932, aptly recognized "The Spirit of Mich- igan" when he said in part: "There must be something in this tradition, at that. Two teams, Ohio and Indiana, went into the Big Ten track meet at Evanston Saturday with better prospects of winning than Michigan, yet both failed just where their greatest strength seemed to lie, while once more the Wolverines fought through. And the interesting thing about it was that it was the Michigan mediocrities and unknowns that rose to the occasion. Hill, Wolfe, Ellerby and Moisio -.they were the boys who turned the trick. "Their fine feats go into the great stream of Michigan tradition. They ran not for themselves, with only their own legs and lungs, but for the great Michigan family, knowing that all had their eyes on them, expecting them to come through like brothers of a noble line." We have a feeling we will see some more of this same thing Saturday at Columbus. "It's in the bag."' OUCH!

Ouch! __ __DRUGS Stoller, Osgood And Etchells To1 Make Best Bids 23-Man Squad Will Be At Full Strength To Oppose Strong Contenders By ROY HEATH Today at 4 p.m. the 23-man Wol- verine track squad will leave Ferry Field for the Big Ten track and field meet at Columbus, O. The Michigan team will enter the fray at full strength after three days of light workout in an attempt to bring every man to the peak of per- fection which will be needed to garner every possible point. Every possible point will be all which can save the Western Conference crown, for un- like the three- main threats for the title, Indiana, Ohio State, and Wis- consin, it is possible that Michigan will not pull down an individual first place. Three Michigan Chances There appear to be only three pos- sible chances for Michigan first places judging from past performances, which is risky at the best. Sammie Stoller seems to be in the best con- dition possible to spring the upset of the year and beat out Jesse Owens. Skip Etchells, defending discus champion, looks good for a possible repeat, with several practice tosses of better than 150 feet in practice this week. Etchelis will have his hands full with Bill Freimuth of Minnesota who placed third last year and has recorded a 152 foot throw this year. Bob Osgood is a better than even chance to nose out Indiana's Dan Caldemeyer, despite the fact that the Hoosier ace holds a decision over Osgood by virtue of his record-tying flight of high hurdles last week at Bloomington. Observers say, granted Caldemeyer is a top flight hurdler, the fact that he had the advantage of what is known as a "rolling start" may have had something to do with his phenomenal performance. One-Mile Relay Good The above individual performance guesses do not apply to Michigan's "remarkable relay," the one-mile relay quartette which has made some of the best in the nation look bad. They are good for a first in any track get-together, or at least they have been for two years. All in all, Michigan's chances lie in the hope that every man will pull through with his points whether they be first or fifth. The more the better. If they do then the outdoor track crown will set in Mr. Yost's trophy case for the fifteenth time. Frosh Nine Wins From Phys Eds. In the annual baseball game played yesterday between the Phys. Eds. and the freshmen, the yearling lads overwhelmed their opposition by a score of 13-4. Chuck NVcHugh, on the mound for the frosh, gave up only six hits, one a homer by Valek, Phys. Ed. hurler. Valek yielded 11 safeties, including home runs by Gedeon and McHugh, before being relieved by Beebe, who did most of the catching for the Phys. Eds. The first-year men, paced by Li- sagor with four hits and Peckin- paugh with three, were far in the lead throughout the game and it was not until the last two innings that a run was scored against them. Valek led the Phys. Ed. attack, contributing three hits. 11 Big Ten Net Teams Famous P'ro's In TourneyToday T Play here CHICAGO, May 20. - - (A) --- The Western Conference tennis chai-; lisAfternoon pionships open at the University of Chicago courts tomorrow with Chi- horton Smith And Kocsis cago and Northwestern ruling as fa- vorites to battle it out for the team, To Meet Lawson Little individual and doubles titles.

Squads Enter Quarter-Finals A. ,..ws, elt's, P.D.E."s And Sigma Phi's Whip Opponents In Playoffs Four teams moved into the quarter- finals of the Inter-fraternity softball league playoffs yesterday when Sig- ma Phi, Delta Upsilon, Phi Delta Ep- silon and Alpha Tau Omega defeated Sigma Chi, Phi Beta Delta, Kappa Sigma and Delta Tau Delta respec- tively at the South Ferry Field dia- monds. Cheered on by a howling crowd of nearly, one hundred frantic support- ers of both sides, the A. T. O.'s out- slugged the D. T. D.'s 16-14 to win. Don Meyers pitched for the winners and Bob Christie and Bob Henock for the losers, both being touched for hits almost at will. The A. T. O.'s came from behind in the second in- ning to score 12 runs, 16 men batting, and gained a lead which was kept throughout the game. Bill Borgman clouted two home runs for the D. T. D.'s and his teammate, Don Graves, also hit one. George Bolas once more led his Delta Upsilon team to a victory, twir- ling one-hit ball and fanning nine to shut out the Phi B. D.'s 5-0. The single hit came in the last inning with two men on bases. Al Blumen- feld pitched for the losers. With neither team retaining a lead for more than one inning at a time, Sigma Phi finally eked out a win from Sigma Chi 9-8. Pat Lusk on the mound for the Sigma Phi's, was con- siderably off form but his team's better fielding gave him an edge. Hal Blackburn, Sigma Phi third base- man, hit the only homerun. Bab Parkin was the losing pitcher. Singling in the sixth with two on, Joe Sklaver knocked in the necessary two runs allowing the Phi D. E.'s to beat Kappa Sigma 8-7. Martin Alex- ander hit a home run. The Phi D. E.'s hurler was Bob Koschik with Sol Stein tossing for the Kappa Sigs. In the faculty league, Physiology defeated English by a 5-4 score. nougn noc aving as ig a repu- tation as his two teammates, Thomp- son will rprove to be no set-up for the Michigan captain and his partner. It was his excellent playing on this course last year that enabled him and Olin Dutra, then national Open cham- pion, to take Kocsis and Johnny Fis- cher, former Michigan captain and a member of the present Walker Cup team, in a hotly contested battle. Johnny Dawson, well-known Chi- cago pro, was scheduled to appear with the visiting linksmen but instead elected to try for another win in the Heart of America tournament in Kansas. Kocsis should be able to take care of himself, having qualified for the National Open last week in the Meadowbrook course in Detroit and also turning in a brilliant 286 to take the Big Ten meet Monday and Tuesday on the Kildeer course at Chicago. Kocsis' Advantage Offset Thompson, who stole the show from Dutra last year, will offset any ad- vantage the Wolverine leader may have in knowing the course, assur- ing the gallery of a good match. Bill Slack, groundsman, has requested all women attending to wear low-heeled shoes. Spectators attending the match will not be allowed beyond the white lines surrounding the greens. The fairways will be roped off. The management has asked that the gallery stay at least 30 feet behind the players in order that they may be free from any distraction.
