Perpich Cards A Par 72
For Wildcats To Defeat
Captain Karpinski
By IRV GERSON
A highly touted Northwestern golf
team smeared Michigan's unbeaten
Big Ten slate with a 10/2 to 7%/2 win
at the University Course yesterday.
The vietory marked the third con-
secutive Conference win for the Wild-
cats who will defend their medal play
championship May 23 and 24 at
Minneapolis. They previously de-
feated Wisconsin and Illinois.
The match was close all the way,
the final outcome not being deter-
nined until the last several holes of
the final individual match between
Bob Palmer of the Wolverines and
Hdrry Lazier.
The score stood 8 to 7 and Palmer
was all even with Lazier at the 17th
tee. But he faltered on the last two
holes and his opponent captured both
of them, the match and the meet.
Perpich Equals Par
Frank Perpich put together nines
of .35 and 37 this afternoon to
equatl par and turn in the low
score of the day. Perpich played
steady golf as he blanked Capt. Al
Karpinski, bagg'ing two birdies, a 3
on the ninth and a 4 on the eight-
eenth.
Playing number one man for the
visitors was Sid Richardson, Big Ten
medal play champion. He scored two
75's today, defeating Bill Barclay in
his individual match 21 to 3/ de-
spite the latter's 77.
Coach Courtright's squad, with
Lynn Riess moving up a notch to sec-
ond position displacing Karpinski who
played third man, held a point lead
at the conclusion of four ball play
this morning.
. Barclay -and Riess teamed together
to blank Richardson and Lazier, the
first three scoring 75's while the lat-
ter needed 78 shots to tour the lay-
out.
Rarpinski-Palmer Lose
In the second foursome, Perpich
with a 79 and Chester Bland 78
teamed together to take all but %/
point from Karpinski (77) and Bob
Palmer (83).
But Northwestern came back
strong in the afternoon individual
match play to sweep to victory over
the Wolverines. Richardson started
proceedings with his win over Barclay.
Riess kept Michigan in the running
by garnering all three' points from
Bland as he fired a.76 compared to
the latters 83.
Then Perpich returned the lead to
Northwestern and Lazier sewed up
the meet by virtue of his defeat of
Palmer.

Yeadling Tales. -
THE FRESHMEN baseball team went on review before the big boss the
other afternoon against the Varsity reserves. Most of the yearlings
were nervous, a few were cocky, all of them were straining every muscle
to impress. They always do when the big boss is watching. The big boss is
Coach Ray L. Fisher, and he's an old hand at detecting raw ivory.
The score of the game is unimportant. Few will ever remember it being
played. Still fewer will consider the meeting of any special import. Yet
to this writer, there's always an intrinsic thrill in watching any freshman
team perform. Their spirit is catching. Their effort is awe-inspiring. Their
determination is incredible.
* * * *
Freshman football memoirs came back to us with startling clarity
as we watched the yearlings play. ",As a cub reporter two years ago,
we were told to hike down to Ferry Field to watch the first year
gridders rehearse. We did, and the picture is a memorable one. They
.stood around-tall ones, short ones, fat ones, thib ones--a conglom-
eration of assorted physiques and physiognomies. The biggest was a
guynamed Diomedes somethingorother who weighed 235 pounds and
stood well over six feet. The smallest was an obscure, spindle-legged
mite named Hercules Renda, who fell short of five-five. Outside of
this the two had no other claim to fame. Like the rest they were simply
numbers and names on the weight charts..
,Whoever thought that balmy autumn day that little mite Renda just
one year later would spear a second period forward pass in the Michigan
State game and catapult his 150-odd pounds into a remote corner of the
end zone for Michigan's first touchdown? Whoever imagined that a rugged
kid with an infectious smile and busphy black hair would step into a
first team center berth as Archie Kodros did? A year before he was simply
a guy in a faded jersey. Out of that motley crew we saw that day stepped
Bill Smith, Joe Savilla, and, Freddie Trosko-simply numbers when we
watched them. A year later they were in the big time.
Another yarn came to mind as we sat watching the Frosh. A few years
back a chunky guy went out for the baseball team., He wanted to pitch,
but the coaches frowned when they looked him over: "Too small for a pitcher,
kid," they told him.
"Small, hell," the kid snapped, and he kept on working.
The next year they flipped an arbitrary coin and took him south.
That was his first step up the ladder. Then he got his chance, and
that's all he needed. In 1936 he captained a conference champion-
ship ten. He was selected as the most valuable player in the Big Ten
that year. The "small" kid's name was Berger Larson.
* * ,* *
Looking Ahead.. ..
W E SNAPPED out of our daydreams and began watching Fisher. A loose-
jointed husky named Felix is pitching, and Ray is giving him the once
over. "Pretty good curve ball on that boy," he says. He shifts his glance.
"Hey, Mike," he yells to a peppy half pint shortstop who trips all over
himself going after a grounder. "Play that ball. Don't let it play you." The
kid nods.
Ray continues to look around. The big kid with the glasses from Chelsea
points his toe in too much. The little guy isn't getting any body behind
his pitches. He encourages the catcher to keep chattering. He smiles when
an opportunist Frosh center-fielder tries to get behind a runner on second to
pick him off, and the pitcher throws one in with center field vacated. He
laughs when a midget freshman-sub Renda in stature--comes in, takes a
good hitch in his pants, expectorates in best major league fashion, and
strikes out one of the reserves. He keeps sadvising Felix; the kid looks good.
"How many Felixes have you seen, Ray?" we asked.
"Why," he replied, "there's a Felix every year in all sports. Good
looking kids, ambitious, hard working-but we never see them all.
Some flunk out, some quit, some won't work, and the remainder come
up. Then they start all over again."
We looked over at the football field where the Varsity was working out. A
lot of Felixes of last fall are with the big boys now-playing for keeps.
Over at the tennis courts more Felixes played. On the track, in the pool,
on the rink and the mat-in every branch of sport-are your freshmen.
Some deride their coarse technique. Some chide; their hell-bent determina-
tion. Some laugh as two jerseyed grid giants whack hell out of each other
for nothing more tangible than a coach's smile. Think twice before you
laugh at these novices. Remember that out of their coarse technique evolves
supple athletic prowess. Out of their determination grows success. Out
of their ranks come your Oosterbaans, your Friedmans, your Stollers, your
Watsons, your Kirars, your Jankes, your Heyligers, your Speichers, and
your Larsons. They-those gawky, aggressive punks you may be laughing
at today-are the sub-strata of our athletic pillars. They are our new
blood. On their shoulders rests the future of our athletic domain.

Seeks Series $weep
Rain washed out yesterday's Mich-
igan-Hillsdale game, but the Wolver-
ines swing right back into action to-
day facing Western State Teachers
College at the Ferry Field diamond.
The Wolverines whipped the Teach-
ers 5 to 4 in Kalamazoo last week and
will be after two straight in the final.
game of the series.
Same Pitchers Work
The set up today is much the same
as in the initial tilt last week. Burt
Smith, who started for Michigan,
will get another crack at the Hill-
toppers with Harry Bailey or Geno
Selmo opposing him.
Little Bucko allowed four runs and,
four hits in seven innings last time
out, a crashing triple by Berl Mer-
shon with the bases loaded nullifying
an otherwise top-notch performance.
' Have Well Balanced Team t
The Hilltoppers have a well bal-
anced outfit with ample power and
good pitching by Bailey and Selmo. It
took a ninth inning double by Danny
Smick to turn them back in the cur-
tain raiser, and three Michigan pitch-
ers were called to the mound in the
victory.
Little can be said for the Wolver-
ines' chances today. Their erratic
week-end performances put them in
that unsavory category of "in-and-
outers." If they're "in"-and this in-
cludes a little of the luck they've been
needing so badly--local fandom may
see a surprising form reversal. If
they're "out"-well simply refer to
any of'their seven defeats.
Game time today is 4:05 p.m.

'AMERICAN LEAGUE
Cristy-Floersch Feud
Rages For Big 'Steaks'
Coach Fritz Crisler may not know
it butdhe started something when he
invited a hungry grid squad to his
home Sunday night for a steak roast.
There are those who think that
Ed Cristy, husky fullback, could eat
any of the boys under the table. But
there are also those with a longer
memory who will match their man,
Harold Floersch, against the field, in-
cluding Cristy.
Being out for baseball, Floersch
wasn't on hand for the glut-fest but
his supporters and handlers claim he
will meet the mighty fullback on any-
body's table at any time-or maybe
a table isn't even necessary.
Gridders Hold
Defensive'orl. l
Squad Shows Evidences
Of ImprovedBlocking
The return of cooler weather
brought a more intensive concentra-
tion on fundamentals to tle football
workout yesterday as the squad start-
ed on the final week of the spring
practice session.
Taking advantage of the brisk
weather Coach Fritz Crisler worked
his men hard making up for the slow
down due to the heat last week and
at the same time running off some of
the steaks consumed by the gridders
at the dedication of his new outdoor
roasting oven last night.
Much of the work yesterday con-
sisted of defensive line play..Line
Coach Clarence Munn injected a little
blood and thunder into the drill as
he instructed his husky charges to
forget friendships and "get rough."
More evidence of the improved
brand of blocking was shown in the
drills when the first-string guards
and tackles found it a tough job to
crack through the offensive line. Time
and again good stiff blocks nailed
the charging line-men before they
could burrow or dive into the secon-
dary.
One fact becomes more clearly
established every day-the' Wolver-
ines will have a strong passing at-
tack next fall. More than the av-
erage amount of work has been put
on the aerial game and results seem
to justify the policy. The passers are
becoming more acurate with their
tosses and the other backs and flank-
ers are picking them out of the air
with great consistency.
Conferenice Ruling Helps Foes
Break Michigan Tennis String
Netters To Face Spartans
In Return Match Today;
Levenson Is Still Out
Michigan's tennis victory string was
broken in three places last week, but
the teams the Wolverine's played were
not the main cause. A Conference rul-
ing, based on a code of ethics proved
the highest hurdle for the Varsity in
at least two of their matches.
Stated in brief that rule provides
that since coaches must play their
men according to ability, no arbitrary
substitution can be made in case a
regular cannot play in any match. In-
stead, all the other men must be
moved up a notch.
Miss Captain Levenson
Thus the Wolverines entered their
matches decidedly the underdogs; for
they were forced to play without the
services of Capt. Neil Levenpon. Neil
developed a foot infection just before
the Notre Damne match and has been.
forced to stay off his feet ever since
then.
Consequently Coach Weir had to
play each one of his men against
competition above their class.
The Wolverines could have played
Jim Talman, reserve man in the num-
ber one spot against Notre Dame
without drawing any Conference
frowns, but in view of the fact that
he would have to play in the sixth
spot in the other two matches, Coach
Weir preferred to get him started
there Thursday.
Lose 8-1 To Gophers
Friday the Varsity took an 8-1
shellacking from Minnesota and Sat-;
urday, with no matches going more
than two sets, gave the Chicago squad
a 9-0 workout. The Wolverines could
not have won against the Maroons
Michigan Sailing Club
To Meet Tomorrow
The first of the annual May meet-
ings of. the newly formed Michigan
Sailing Club will be held tomorrow
evening at the Union under the lead-
ership 'of Commodore Dave Roach,
'38.
Election of next year's officers, dis-
cussion of the building of a club-
house and plans for sailing, activities
during the Summer Session will 'be
the most important matters to be
brought before the members. Those
interested in joining are urged to
attend.
even if Levenson were playing, but
reports indicated that that last en-
gagement was the best of the series.
The Weirmen fought for every point,
lost nearly every one, but kept the
Maroons anxious for a good hot show-
er and a change of clothes.
Wind, enough to make the Ferry
Field blasts look like a dead calm,
added to the misfortune at Notre
Dame. Rain forced the Chicago
match indoors. But these were small
matters compared to the loss of Lev-
enson.
"With him we could have won the
Notre Dame match and fought Min-
nesota on a 50-50 basis," declared
Coach Weir.
Invade Lansing Today
Today the netters journey to Lan-
sing to meet the Spartans in a return
match/ Although the Varsity won
5-4 two weeks ago they'll be hard
pressed to repeat this week without
the services oftheir captain. Leven-
son may also be unavailable for the
Northwestern engagement on Thurs-
day.
The Wolverines are hosts at a tri-
angular meet this week-end. In ad-
dition to their contest with the Wild-
cats Thursday, they meet the Ohio
State squad on Saturday. The Buck-
eyes and Northwestern play each oth-
er on Friday. All matches will be
played at the Palmer Field Courts.

My Biggest
LAUGH
By BOB ZUPPKE
Illinois Football Coach
"Nobody but a dead man comes
out" has become somewhat, of a tra-
dition in Illinois football. We ;knocked
Ohio State out of a Big Ten title a
few years ago with 11 men, and from
then on it became our by-word.
Several years after this inaugu-
ration we were again faced with a
lack of reserve material, and once
more I said: "Nobody but a dead
man comes out." This time it had a
reverse twist.
There were about five minutes to
play, and we were going all right
with a touchdown but not goal, when
I noticed one of our players stretched
out on the ground. He was all in. I
called to a sophomore lineman, told
him to report to the referee and take
the place of the recumbent regular.
The sophomore, reporting to the
referee, bent over and peered at the
injured player.
The sub straightened up and -
came running back to the bench,
to my astonishment. I managed
to ask him what was the matter.
"Why, coach," he said, "You
said nobody but a dead man
comes out, and he's still breath-
ing."

Michigan's freshman. track team
resumed its winning ways Saturday
as the yearlings knocked off Wiscon-
sin, 761-542, in the first dual tele-
graphic meet of the outdoor season.
Although the Badgers won eight of
the fifteen events, Ken Doherty's boys
came through with enough seconds
and thirds to pile up a handy margin.
Outstanding Wolverine perfor-
mances were Jack Leutritz' :49.6 quar-
ter, an event which Michigan swept,
and the record breaking relay time of
3:21.1. Warren Breitenbach, Phil
Balyeat, Bill Dobson and Leutritz
composed the team which broke the
old record by seven seconds.
Bob Barnard and Jim Monahan
were high point scorers for the Do-
herty forces as they tied for first in
the century at 10 seconds flat and
Barnard won the 220 yard low hurdles
with Monahan flashing home first in
the 220 yard dash. Hank Beale was
second behind Monahan.
Michigan showed strength in the

his first start, threw the stick .160
