Forest Evashevski will start behind the plate and "Wallop- ing Willie" Steppon will occupy; Smick's right field post. Visiting teams have found the Ferry Field baseball orchard quite a fruitless place of late.

And Smick, Barry & Co. don't expect to be .anding out any plums today, either. Coach Charlie Maher's charges have broken even in the six games they have played thistseason. Last Friday, they absorbed a 10-5 trim-+ ming at the hands of Notre Dame, but came back to wallop Ohio Wes- leyan, 19-2, the following day. Either George Timmerman, who was the victim of the Notre Dame assault, or Harry Baily, who was knocked out of the box in the third inning of the Broncs' first game with Michigan, will receive the nod to face, the Wolverines.

Working on an extra-base hit scheme good for three home runs, a triple and two doubles, the Philadel- phia Athletics humiliated the Tigers with a seventh straight licking-sec- ond in a row in the current series. Philadelphia's victory, ultimately achieved on a ninth inning homer by rookie third baseman Bill Nagel, per- mitted the A's to exchange places in the standings with Detroit and pro longed the woeful run of Tiger mis- fortune to one of the worst for any team in this major league campaign. Until Mack's gunners began find- ing the range on the outfield pavilions in the sixth, it looked like the Tigers might escape the cellar plunge be- cause of Charley Gehringer's three- run homer in the third.

Four of the 10 matches were Conference matches, and the Wolver- ines won two from Wisconsin and' Ohio, and lost two to Chicago and Northwestern. Today's match is the rubber match between the schools. Two years ago the Teachers defeated the Wolver- ines 7-2, while last year, the Weir- men turned the tables with a 5-4 triumph. Leading the invaders is Milton 'Ike' Ruehl from Milwaukee. Ruehl has not been beaten in the two years he has played against the Wolverines,i and is seeking his third consecutive win. Either Capt. Don Percival or sophomore Jim Tobin will face him.1 Last year, the Teachers won the Michigan Intercollegiate tournament. Other members besides Ruehl on the present squad who were with the 'team when they took the title are Willis Judd and Jack Sims. On a southern trip during spring vacation, the team was defeated by Mississippi and Louisiana State University, and won from Centenary. Coach Leroy Weir has not decided who will play the singles matches against the Bronco today. The doubles : combinations however, will be the same as played against North- western and Ohio State last weekend. In first spot will be Capt. Don Per- cival and Ed Morris, in second, Jim' Tobin and John Kidwell, and third Sam Durst and Steve Woolsey.

Stan Kelley let loose in the low hurdles and cracked the meet standard, de- spite slowing up at the fifth hurdle to coach home sophomore Jeff Hall.. The mile relay set the crowd on edge when Harvey Clarke fell com- ing around the turn. The fall was a good old-fashioned tumble, caused by Clarke's running in too close to the edge of the track.
