Indiana. Has Newcomers Indiana will present a team com- posed of only two veterans from last .year's; title-winning aggregation, co- captains Ernie Andres and Tom Gwinn, spark plugs of the 1938 team that hung a 4-1,trimming on Herm Fishman and the Wolverines. In spite of the preponderance of rookies in the Hoosier lineup, the team has been faring well in Big Ten competition thus far. They boast two triumphs over Wisconsin, and even breaks in their two-game series with the first place Purdue nine and Chicago. Beat Spartans Yesterday Last weekend, Indiana dropped a 1-0, decision in 11 innings to Purdue, before nosing out the .Boilermakers, 7-6, the following day. Yesterday, they scored a 7-0 victory over Michi- gan State, a team which defeated the Fishermen earlier in the season. In addition the .Hoosiers will be out to avenge the Wolverine basketball vic- tory that ruined Indiana's Confer- ence title chances and the Varsity appears in for a pair of heavy days. Dale Gentil, Hoosier pitching ace who gave up four hits in losing to Purdue, will probably oppose Smick. Should Coach "Pooch" Harrell choose, to save his number one hurler for, Saturday's game, "Lefty" Cox will' face the Fishermen today.

Drop- ping the first set to Gregory, Don had quite an uphill battle before he emerged victor. The third and de- ciding set was more of a marathon than a tennis match. Stroke for stroke, point for point and game for game, the two duplicated every move until the count ran to five games all. At this point, Percival broke Greg- ory's service, and went on to win his own and the match. The most thrilling match of the afternoon was that played between Jim Porter and Jack Joyce. Joyce the South Bend sophomore sensa- tion, displayed expert form and skill in the first set, when he downed Porter easily 6-2. The second set ran along similar lines to the Percival- Gregory set, with the score running up to seven games apiece. Joyce then broke Porter's service and took the lead in the set game. Six times during this 16th game he served the game, set, and match point, and six times Porter rallied to deuce the game. Finally, Porter crashed through, to win this game and finally win the set, 10-8. The result seemed to break Joyce's spirit, and Porter won the third and deciding set, 6-3. This afternoon at 3:15 p.m. the varsity meets the Michigan State squad at Palmer Field. SUMMARIES Singles: Tobin (M)' defeated Fay (ND), 6-0, 6-3. Percival (M) defeat- ed Gregory (ND) 5-7, 6-3, 7-5.

Tigers Lose Again, 4-2 DETROIT, May 11.--('}-)-Rookie Joe Haynes' seven-hit pitching and a three-run rally in the ninth inning gave the Washington Senators a 4 to 2 victory over the Detroit Tigers today and an even split in the two- game series. Paul Trout twirled for Detroit. He gave up 12 hits but pitched effective- ly in the pinches and stranded 13 Senators on the bases. INTHIS CORNER -------By MEL FINEBERG Skeleton In The Closet .. . EVEN in the off-season, collegiate football's frankenstein, the subsidiza- tion question, raises its ogre head to plague The Board in Control of Physical Education. The Student Senate's resolution to give the aura of legality to aiding Michigan athletes was the resurrection A a ghost which the Board- devoutly wishes laid to its final rest. But campus sentiment con- tinue to shake the skeleton in "amateur" football's closet. Student sentiment asserts that a football player donates the better part of his college life to the University in pursuit of alma mater's glory. Since he adds much to the monetary gain of the University, since he adds to, beneficial publicity that accrues to the benefit of the University and since he provides an uplift to the psychic income of the students, he is justified in asking some financial return. But according to Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, chairman of the Board, the University owes substantially nothing to the football player. "Anyone re- porting for football here at Michigan does so voluntarily," maintains Prof. Aigler. "We don't force him to come out; he can quit when he feels it takes too much time from his studies." "There is no subsidization at Miehigau," Prof. Aigler still asserts, "and we intend to keep it that way. You can't give athletic scholarships without aspiring to the stigma of professionalism. Other schools have tried it and if the practice enjoys. wide-spread continuance it will prove the doom of collegiate sport. I rather believe that it isn't working at the schools that have tried it and I believe that they will depart from it." Of course we'd say it appears pretty far-sighted to predict that the Southern schools who have employed it so widely are likely to give up the publicity their football teams have attracted to their institutions but possibly Prof. Aigler is correct. "You can't go half way in this matter," he continued. "It's a question of black or white. Either you're professional or you're amateur and we intend to remain amateur. I don't know of any athlete on this campus that is being paid" "What would happen if anybody presented proof of payment? Why, we'd declare him ineligible." Like Head Coach Fritz Crisler, Prof. Aigler claimed there was much loose terminology used in discussing subsidization. Yesterday, Crisler said that subsidization meant different things to, different people. To- day, Prof. Aigler elaborated on what subsidization meant to him. "It does not," he believes, "include jobs for students. Some athletes do dish-washing of the most prosaic type. That's not to be criticized. Even work in a factory, as long as it pays the athlete the same returns as the lay man next to him, is nor to be deprecated." The' establishment of a training table for one meal a day was not Wes- tern Conference recognition of an obligation to the football players, accord- ing to the chairman of the Board. "It was established because football prac- tice interfered with the boys getting their evening meal. There is no reason why they should sacrifice anything to play football." Speaking of training tables remind us of a rumor we heard about a Big Ten faculty meeting a few years ago which describes the temperament of Western Conference action. They were all set to pass a resolution condoning the training table when some enterprising reporter stumbled on the story and it found its way into print. The faculty members, angry at the prema- ture release, killed the resolution. We don't know how true this story is but it appears typical. By the way, there is an annual faculty meeting in Ann Arbor a week from tomorrow.
