THE MICHIGAN DAILY rAGE I Varsity Tennis Team Easily Downs Kalamazoo College, 7-2 G Michigan Baseball Slump Laid To Strange Collapse Of Mound Staff By BUD BENJAMIN HELP WANTED: For an ailing baseball team. If you are a sopho- more, junior, or senior aching for the quick road to athletic success take heed. We are looking for a baseball pitcher-size, weight, and descrip- tion unimportant-who can success- fully pitch a nine inning game against our competition. He must be in good scholastic standing, experienced, and willing to work./ Must have a thor- ough knowledge of the game. Novices. need not apply. This is not a job but a position. Write, phone, or run to Ray L. Fisher, Box 13, Field House, for interview. No, it never appeared in any paper, and it never will. It's a sad com- mentary on the plight of a Michigan baseball team in hot water and anx- ious to get out. It's a good baseball team. It can hit, field, and knows its baseball ropes. But it can't win games with the opposition averaging nine runs a game. That's the figures on Mich- igan's four Conference losses. Looked Good On Paper The situation is more or less para- doxical. At the outset of the season, everyone figured: "Here's a team that will be a real wow defensively, but it will never hit. Why last year it aver- aged only .197, and few new slug- gers have been added. But that pitching staff--well, it's a potential 'dream. There was Herm Fishman, a crafty veteran with two years of experience and an eight game winner in the titular days of 1936. He would head the staff. There was Burt Smith, another vet- eran; who could certainly be counted on to win his share of games. Dan Smick, the nine letter athlete with an urge to hurl, was a comer. So was Russ Dobson, best'of last year's fresh- man crew, and Ed Andronik, a lancy senior who had suddenly found him- self. Crack-Up Remains Mystery The mound staff has cracked wide open and not even Coach Ray Fisher, can tell you why. I certainly isn't lack of effort; the men are really putting out. It isn't poor coaching. There are precious few who doubt the' prowess of the Fisher technique. It may be bad luck, it may be an early season lull, but it's defnitely a prob- lem that has all concerned worrying. Here's the story of the past de- feats., Wisconsin: Fishman starts and is shelled in the sixth; Smick follows and is wild; Andronik pitches a third of an inning and shows good form as does Smith who finishes. Illinois: 12 innings, three pitchers-Andronik, Fishman and Smith-13 hits for the Illini and a 10 to 9 loss. Second' game-Smick, Smith, and Andronik -14 hits and a 14 to 7 loss. Michigan State-Smick, Fishman, and Andro- nik-15 hits, and a 9 to 3 defeat. Story In a Nutshell That makes 50 hits in four games for the opposition, 37 runs, and 12 Michigan pitchers working. It tells the story in a nutshell. Thenreserve strength is uncertain. Dobson hasn't worked because of a sore arm. Lefty John Heering has lacked control. Jack Barry is smart but not fast enough. Yet unless conditions change, they may be used. Let's hope they do change. Start- ing Friday the Wolverines have eight ball games in 12 days beginning Fri- day and Saturday with two games against Purdue. Hurry up pitching stars. You can't help us much in the grandstand.

Netters Open Home Season Impressively Levenson Is Only Singles Loser As Kidw~ell, Cohen, WoolseyWin Twice By ART BALDAUF Coach Leroy Weir's Varsity netters unleashed some of their reserve yes- terday and opened their home season at the Ferry Field.Courts with a de- cisive victory over the Kalamazoo College team. The score was 7-2. The Wolverines clinched the match early in the afternoon when they captured five of the six singles con- tests, dropping only the number one set- to. Again in the doubles they lost the number one match, but captured both the other two in straight sets. The victory stretched the Weir- men's streak to six, and gave them a total of seven wins in nine matches played to date. . Win Two Matches John Kidwell, Hank Cohen, and Steve Woolsey paced the squad with wins in both singles and doubles. Don Percival and Tom Slattery each on their singles, and Ed Morris, teamed with Hank Cohen, aided in winning the third rank doubles. The score of the entire meet, while decisive, does not indicate very well' the outcome of the individual matches, which were, in several cases, very close. Percival and Slattery were forced to three sets to win their singles and Cohen and Woolsey both were extended in their first sets, al- though winning in straight sets. In the doubles, Slattery and Capt. Neil Levenson carried their Kalama- zoo opponents to three sets before losing the match, and Woolsey and Kidwell were, forced to go Four extra games, before winning thei last set of a two set affair, 8-6. Meet State Saturday The Wolverines practice today and tomorrow and meet the Michigan State squad at the Palmer Field courts on Saturday. With the pos- sible exception of the match with Michigan State Normal, the re- mainder of the home matches will be played at Palmer Field, it was an- nounce yesterday by Coach Weir. The two day layoff this we k is one of Pe longest the ra-uet-wield- ers will enjoy this year. Most of the eight r:maining contests arc sc1( d uled only a day apart. Summaries: Singles: Shane (K) d. Levenson (M), 6-4, 6-1; Percival (M) d. Worth (K), 6-4, 4-6, 6-3; Kidwell (M) d. Allen (K), 6-4, 6-2; Slattery (M) d. Jones (K), 4-6, 6-4, 6-4; Cohen (M) d. Born (K), 8-6, 6-3; Woolsey (M) d.

Yearlings Win, 5-0, Over Subs Felix Karwales Allows Only TwoSingles Behind the brililant pitching of Felix Karwales, who yielded ut two hits, the freshman regulars easily won a seven inning victory over the second stringers 5-0. Fanning eleven men, Karwales was the master of the game from the first. inning, while his teammates garnered 1 2 safeties includ ng homeruns by Mike Sofiak, shorstop, and Joe Hig- gins, centerfielder. Due to lack of outfielders, Coach Oosterbaan has shifted two infield- ers, Joe Higgins and Gilbert Sauer to the outer gardens. His choice proved very wise as the former led the team in batting yesterday with a homer and two singles in four trips to the plate, and the latter drove out two singles in four tries. The first string infield at present is composed of George Ruehle at first, Willie Steppon at second, Sofiak at short, and "Red" Gorecki at third. Bob Ruetter and Frank Jankowski are the leading catchers. Following Monday's cut of almost half the squad, Coach Bennie Oos- terbaan announced today that there would be another cut on Friday which will narrow the squad down to slight- ly more than two full teams.

The Frank Bissell Trophy given to the outstanding freshman performer of the season, was awarded to Bill Combs, of Tulsa, Okla. A former state A.A.U. champion at 145 pounds, Combs worked out with the Varsity all season, and should be a valuable addition to next year's team. Jim Butler of Detroit was, named the recipient of the Bissell Trophy, given by the former Wolverine cap- tain to the freshman showing the most improvement during the season. Butler competed in the 126 pound class. The Harold Goldman Trophy for the wrestler showing the most com- petitive spirit, was won by Tom Sparks, also from Tulsa. Weighing 118 pounds, Sparks annexed the A.A.U. championship at this weight and is being groomed to replace co- captain Johnny Speicher.
