Add giggles: The chap at, Varsity Faces Hillsdale Nine Away Ta- Russ Dobson To Take Hill Against MIAA Champs In Non-Conference Tilt Michigan's Varsity baseball team, back from Columbus with a .500 Con- ference rating, travels to Hillsdale today to face Hillsdale College. Ordinarily the game would be re- garded as a breather, but today it will hold added significance for it will give Coach Ray Fisher another chance to test the "mystery man" of his mound staff, Russ Dobson. Thus far Fisher has exhibited two pitchers of Big Ten ability in Jack Barry and Dan y Smick and a third in sophomore Lyle Bond who while not thoroughly tested has shown defi- nite possibilities. Another hurler of proven caliber would greatly increase the Wolverines' still glimmering title hopes. h obson has more natural stuff than any of the above three and to- day will get a chance to regain his confidence against an opponent not quite up to the usual standard. Coach Fisher yesterday named 14 men to travel to Hillsdale. Those chosen are Dobson, Smick, Bond, Capt. Walter Peckinpaugh, Leo Beebe, Forest Evashevski, Les Veigel, Elmer Gedeon, Pete Lisagor, Mike Sofiak, Bill Steppon, Earl Smith, Charley Pink and Fred Trosko. Smith, a senior infielder replaces pitcher Barry who is being saved for the home opener against Michigan State. Today's game may turn out to be anything but an easy mark since the Dales last year won the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship, and have an out- standing left handed pitcher to pit against the Wolverines in Glen Sam- ford.

Big Jack Leutritz turned in an excellent performance at Illinois last week, as he outsped Ross Faulkner and Phil Balyeat to winI the quarter mile, and added a third in the 220 yard dash to round out a fine afternoon's work. Boilermakers Lead Big Ten Baseball With a win over Iowa and a double win over Chicago, Purdue leads the Big Ten baseball race with three vic- tories and nowdefeats. Indiana and Minnesota, who won doubleheaders from Wisconsin and Northwestern, respectively, are tied for second. over the weekend to tie for fourth Michigan broke even with Ohio State with the Buckeyes and.

Record Iueane Makes Watson Olympic Hope By DICK SIERK Daniel J. Ferris must be warbling a new tune today. The name of the tune, "I Guess I'll Have To Change Mey Plan." Uncle Dan, as he is more familiar- ly known, is secretary-treasurer of the AAU and one of the country's top authorities on track and field. Sat- urday Uncle Dan compiled an Ameri- can Olympic team one year in ad- vance. Ferris' team was, of course, purely hypothetical. Uncle Dan made some fine choices -in most cases. Where the AAU czar slipped up was in his shot put selections, where he listed Frank Ry- an of Columbia and Elmer Hackney of Kansas State. It might be that Bill Watson saw Uncle Dan's list sometime before the meet with' the Mlini Saturday. Bill says he didn't but something sure put William "on," for he astounded every- one with a tremendous 54 ft. 1 / in, heave. His explanation reminds one of Joe Louis accounting for a victory. Bill says, "I was lucky." If he gets another "lucky" day Bill even admits a.55 ft. toss is possible. "You know Jack Torrance had one of those days when he did 57 ft. 1 in. for his world's record," says Bill, "and who knows, maybe my luck isn't worn out." But whether he ever touches 54 ft. again or not the Wolverine captain has a mark to be proud of. Not since Torrance and John Lyman were in their prime five years ago has an ath- lete done 54 ft. The best that has . .. In Saturday's EventsI Bill Steppon's homer in the eighth inning, which sailed 410 feet broke up last Saturday's game with Ohio State, and gave Michigan a 4-2 win. Bill also clouted a double to lead the Wolverine attack. ever been done in the Olympics is a full foot under Watson's mark. Don't Count Bill Out To get back to Uncle Dan and his choices, there is little reason to doubt the wisdom of naming Ryan and Hackney. Both have beaten Watson and have been fairly con- sistent around 52 ft, Uncle Dan will not be making another list for some little time but whether he sees fit to add the name of Bill Watson to hilt selections or not, that name merits consideration of the most serious kind. Bill also showed well ii) the discus Saturday. 158 ft. in his Iirst time out with only one day of work outdoors is an excellent showing and unless some unforeseen accident occurs he should smash the Big Ten record of 155 ft. 2 in. which has been on the books for 23 years. His greatest competition in the Conference meet. will come from Archie Harris of Indiana, who is re- ported to have done 174 ft. while still in high school. The slugging sophomore who filled1 in for Smick in right field Saturday while Danny performed his hurling1 duties, is a second baseman by trade. 1 All his life he has played around the keystone and second base is the only spot at which Bill feels at home. Therefore it is Coach Ray Fisher's plan to keep Bill as an alternate for1 the veteran Pete Lisagor, rather thanj move him to the outfield where he is at best a question mark performer. A Long-Distance Hitter1 Weighing 180 pounds, Steppon gets tremendous distance in his hits from his sturdy arm and shoulder muscles.- With the season but three weeks old, he has already established himself as one of the most powerful right- handed hitters Fisher has ever turned out. Hitting has been a sort of double or nothing affair with "Walloping Willie" this spring. Boasting a mark of .315 he has yet to connect for his first one base blow as a Wolverine. Opening his career in Frank Merri- well fashion with a long ninth inning homer against Wake Forest, he add- ed a double in the Elon battle the next day, and came through with a brace of two baggers against George- Pitchers Feature Fraternity Softball A great pitching duel between Ken Meyer of Alpha Tau Omega and Paul Keller of Psi Upsilon featured the 12 fraternity league softball games played yesterday. Alpha Tau Omega won 2 to 0, after scoring one run in each the first and second innings. Phi Delta Theta defeated Delta Tau Delta 3 to 1 in another ptichers' battle. Kappa Sigma defeated Delta Upsilon 13 to 9, Sigma Phi Epsilon was beaten by Phi Sigma Delta, 12 to 5, and Chi Phi trounced Hermit-, ' age 20 to 7.

In his one trial at short he appeared too slow to cover the wide territory. Bill has the arm to play third base, but hasn't been tested on bunts, and his lack of speed will probably handi- cap him there. But nevertheless the 19-year old slugger has a rosy future in store for him at Michigan. His aptitude with the stick automatically cinches him the job of number one pinch hitter, he will get plenty of chances to al- ternate with Lisagor, and assuming the expected improvement, will prob- ably continue to fill in for Smick in right. And above all, the brawny sopho- more can look forward to undisput- ed possession of his coveted second base position next spring.
