Golf, Net Squads Return Victorious; Nine Breaks Even On Southern Trip Pirates Defeat iI Michigan Swimmers Excell In DAC Meet Cincinnati, 7-51 Returning home with an even .500 record, three victories, three defeats and a tie in seven starts, Ray Fish- er's Varsity baseball team today looked forward to the season opener, against Ohio State at Columbus Fri- day. In brief here's a resume of what happened on the southern trip: Michigan 4, Wake Forest 4-A pitch- ing duel between Michigan's Jack Barry and the Deacons' strikeout, artist, Jimmy Byrne. Rookie Bill Steppon's homer almost won in the ninth, but the southerners dead- locked it in their half, and things went even until darkness forced a halt after 11 innings. Michigan 16, Elon 6-Russ Dobson showed a great improvement in hold- ing the Christians down, but still has- n't lived up to his potentialities. Sophomore Lyle Bond relieved Russ in the seventh and held the opposi- tion completely at bay . . . Smick, Beebe and Pink led a 20 hit attack. Michigan 10, Washington and Lee 4-Smick in a comeback held the foes to two hits in seven innings. Pink led hitters. Michigan at V.M.I-Rain after three innings with the Wolverines ahead 2-1. Virginia 2,, Michigan 1-A fine hurling job by Barry, who lost on two tough breaks, a disputable home run in the second and a passed ball by Evashevski in the 9th with the bases loaded. Georgetown 12, Michigan 11-- Sophomore Bond faltered in ninth after hurling good ball throughout- Michigan bats clicked but to no avail. Maryland 4, Michigan 2-Poor in- field support cost Smick a well earned victory. Big Dan held the Terrapins to four hits, and proved definitely that he is back in form. Michigan 6, Maryland 0-Barry was the complete master of the situa- tion as he gained revenge for the pre- vious day's defeat by pitching four- hit ball. Gedeon led the attack with a pair of homers. Netters Drop One Winding up a triumphant tour through the South with a 9-0 win over Duquesne, last Saturday, the Wolverine netmen returned to Ann Arbor with five victories against a lone defeat, suffered at the hands of Virginia. John Kidwell and Sam Durst led the squad with five wins and one loss apiece. Each player was defeat- ed in the match against Virginia, which Michigan lost 9-0.

Jim Tobin, John Kidwell, Sam Durst and Ed Morris chalking up triumphs in the singles, with the doubles teams of Capt. Don Percival and John Kidwell, and Steve Woolsey and Ed Morris adding to the score. In a match shortened because of rain, the Wolverines scored an ab- breviated win over V.M.I:, 4-1. To- bin, Kidwell, Durst and Morris were the victors. The Wolverines suffered their only defeat of the trip, April 12, when they were outplayed by a superior and At A Glance BASEBALL n 4, Wake Forest 4 (11 innings) Michigan Michigan 16, Elon College 6 Michigan 10, Washington Lee 4 Virginia 2, Michigan 1 Georgetown 12, Michigan 11 Maryland 4, Michigan 2 (first game) Michigan 6, Maryland 0 (second game) and Palmer took another three markers from Fishburn and Friedman.

In best ball play, Creason and Blackwell defeated Tussing and Emery, 2-1. Coach Courtright's men gained a measure of revenge for the tie that Clemson College held them to last year by soundly walloping them, run- ning up the largest point total of the trip. The entire Michigan team scored under 80, with Palmer and Jim Loar sharing medal honors with 74's. The Wolverines made a clean sweep of individual and best ball matches. Jack Emery equallea par 72 to bag medal honors in the Georgia Tech meet. All Wolverines won their in- dividual matches except Jimo Loar' who lost 2 points to Cook's 74. The fourth straight win was scored at the expense of Tennessee, 14-7. This time, Loar was low scorer with 74 followed by Tom Tussing with 77. Palmer continued his winning streak by defeating Wise, 2%/-. Four Red Hurlers Combed For 15 Hits In Opener CINCINNATI, April 17.- (P) - Cincinnati's Redlegs almost ended their opening day victory famine to- day, but finally succumbed 7 to 5 as the Pittsburgh Pirates rapped five markers across the plate in the last two innings of the National League's centennial campaign inaugural. It was the seventh straight opener lost by the Reds, and was a tough one for the 30,644 fans to accept, for the Cincinnatians had a three-run edge going into the fatal eighth. The Buccaneers exploded a four- run bomb in that frame, however, at the expense of Bucky Walters, who had relieved Johnny Vander Meer in the third. Five hits, including doubles by Vaughan and Young, rolled off the Pirate bats in the big inning.

Charley Barker, Gus Sharemet, a freshman, Bill Prew, a Wayne Uni- versity yearling and Walt Tomski turned in the phenomenal time of 3:27.2 as compared to the old mark of 3:31.2. An all-star team of Otto Jaretz of Chicago, Billy Quayle of Ohio State, Ed Kirar, former Wolver- ine captain, and National A.A.U. hundred-yard champion Peter Fick also bettered the old mark with a time of 3:29.8. Joe Louis Flattens Challenger In First LOS ANGELES, April 17.-(IP)- Joe Louis successfully defended his heavyweight boxing championship tonight by knocking out 36-year old Jack Roper in two minutes and 20 seconds in the first round of their scheduled 10-round bout. It was one of the quickest knock- outs in a heavyweight title fight on record. Louis polished off Max Schmeling in less time but probably no more effectively. A left hook started Roper on the way out. He staggered under the impact of the blow but clinched to weather the storm. The 36-year old challenger pounded Louis with rights and lefts in a brief flurry but Louis turned the tide swiftly.
