Jim Porter, one of last year's let- termen, and Lawton Hammett, soph- omore star, were declared ineligible for competition last week, causing a scramble for positions on the seven- man southern bound team. Injuries Weaken Squad In addition, injuries have plagued the net squad. Jim Tobin, number one player on last year's team, has been bothered with a knee injury. and until last week was an uncer- tain starter. As a result he is not in top condition yet and will likely be forced to take things easy until' his knee no longer bothers him.- In spite of these mishaps, how- ever, Coach Weir has hopes that his team, though inexperienced, will be able to come through with a win- ning season. One source of satisfaction to Weir in the last week of practice has been the improved play of Harry Kohl. With only one week of practice, Kohl has earned himself a starting berth on the varsity, replacing Bob Brewer on the traveling squad. Durst Shows Improvement Another bright spot is the steady performance of Captain Sam Durst. The veteran southpaw has been play- ing the best tennis of his career and can be depended upon to more than hold up his end. The rest of the playing squad is made up of Wayne Stille, Tom Ga- mon, Bud Dober and Bob Jeffers, none of whom have had previous collegiate experience. However, Coach Weir feels confident these men are capable of good tennis. If they live up to their early season promise, the spring trip will be a successful one. EXHIBITION BASEBALL r Phila.

THE report that Joe Batiste, out- door A.A.U. hurdie champion, and record holder, is coming to Michigan next year may be true as far as the Arizonian is concerned but Univer- sity officials here have heard nothing about it. That is, they've heard enough nothing about it to discover that he has no entrance application in. Incidentally, this Corner print- ed last spring that Batiste plan- ned to come here but that his grades were such that it was doubtful that he could get in. The same condition still holds. His intention to come to Ann Arbor Was strengthened during the summer when he travelled to Europe with Bill Watson and Ralph Schwarzkopf on the A.A.- U. tour. He and Watson became fast friends and the husky Wol- verine influenced him in his choice. Watson saw him in New York last February and the 18-year old cham- pion was all for Michigan. But scholastic requirements are probably still holding him up. WE had forgotten all about this until Walter Winchell paused a moment to gloat over it and in case it either slipped your mind too or you didn't read Winchell, we'll pass it on to you. A few months ago, the Mirror scoop hound said that Bill De- Correvont had laid down the ul- timatum that either Northwest- ern hire a new backfield coach or he'd quit school. Both North- western and the former Austin High School flash vigourously denied it and things gradually died down. Two weeks ago, Wes Fry was hired as backfield coach. The question is -is there any connection? THE Chicago Daily News, always a paper which stresses originality and condemns sham, hangs one on wrestling every time it runs a grap- pling story. In six-point type, above every wrestling story, is the warn- ing "The drama page being crowded today this item is generously given space on the sport pages, but it's still drama news, not sport." Ballplayers Head Squad Leaves Today; Opens Season Friday North Carolina To Be First Opponent For Michigan In Eight Game Schedule A squad of 16 Wolverine baseball players will leave Ann Arbor at 3 p.m. today to embark on their an- nual spring swing through the sunny South for an eight-game series with Dixieland opponents. The list chosen by Coach Ray Fisher includes: Pitchers: Jack Barry, Russ Dob- son, Lyle Bond, Mickey Stoddard and Les Veigel. Catchers: Forest Evashevski and, George Harms. infielders: George Ruehle, Bill Steppon, Mike Sofiak, Bud Chamber- lain and Howard Greenberg. Outfielders: Captain Charlie Pink, Fred Trosko, Don Holman and Davie Nelson. Open Against Tar Heels The Wolverines, who have had but three days of outdoor practice, will stop over at Columbus, Ohio to- night and expect to arrive in Chapel Hill, N. C., late tomorrow for thefir game with the University of North Carolina Friday. Following the game with the Tar Heels, Michigan will face Duke, Washington and Lee, Virginia Mili- tary Institute, Navy, Virginia. Mary- land and will finish up with George- town University at Washington, D.C. Ray Fisher's charges wound up their pre-season drills on a wet Ferry Field diamond yesterday afternoon. Captain Pink's Regulars defeated a Yannigan nine, 4-1, in a brisk seven- inning game. Dobson and Stoddard were the op-I posing starting pitchers and each turned in a hitless and scoreless three-inning stretch. Westfall, Stars For Losers Southpaws Neil Muir and Bruce Randall, who relieved the two aces, were touched for all the runs. Trosko and Ruehle provided the hits that drove in all the Regulars' runs, while Catcher Bob Westfall ... For Southland Linksmen To M In First Enga Golf Coach Ray Courtright and five veteran members of Michigan's links squad will join the southward trek of Wolverine athletes early Thursday morning when they head for the other side of the Mason- Dixon line on their. annual spring trip. The squad which will be led by Captain Bob Palmer also includes on its roster Jack Emery, Lynn Reiss, Tom Tussing and Bill Black. When they set up camp at Athens, Georgia, for the Southern Intercollegiate meet they will be joined by sophomores John Leidy, Dave Osler and Goodwin Clark, in addition to Ken Johnson, a senior. The Wolverines will open their season Saturday at Knoxville against the Volunteers of Tennessee. The squad will then penetrate deeper south for a match the following Monday with Georgia Tech at At- lanta. Coach Courtright will then take his team over to Athens for a meeting with Georgia University and three days' competition in the South- ern Intercollegiate Meet. eet Tennessee gement Saturday This will be Michigan's first en- try in this meet, and the Wolverines will be pitted against the pick of the South's college golfers. Courtright does not expect his team to run off with any honors in the meet, for while the Wolverines will have had only three days of outdoor practice behind them, the Southern golfers will be benefitted by their year-round outdoor play. At the conclusion of the meet which will last from April 11 to 13, the Wolverines will pack their bags and head northward. Two days later the Michigan team will open its Big Ten season at Columbus when it meets the Buckeyes over Ohio State's beautiful course. Ann Arbor will be the next stop, and the team will open here against Michigan State April 20. Last year, the Wolverines com- pleted their Southern tour with a record of four straight wins against no defeats. They were rained out in two of the scheduled matches. Georgia Tech fell before them last season, 14-4. Captain Charlie Pink, who bats and throws left-handed, will hold down the lead-off position for the third straight year in the Wolver- ines' batting line-up. Charlie will patrol the center field garden; where his speed will aid in covering plenty of territory. Winchell House Dominates Dorm Honor Cage Teams Winchell House dominated the Residence Hall All-Star basketball squad by having three of its men named to the first team by the nominating committee. First team selections were: Bob Christensen, Winchell, center; Taft Toribara, Lloyd House, and Duane Pagel, Winchell, forwards; Barton Cook, Wenley, and Howard Rahn, Winchell, guards. Second team selections were: for- wards, John Hanlon and Wilbur Sha- piro, both of Winchell; Allie Reagan, Lloyd House, center; Harold Wilson, Wenley, guard; and Walter Fish, Fletcher Hall. ' . season, 14-4. -1 AI Mike Sofiak will again hold down the regular shortstop berth for the Wolverines as they head for the sunny South. Mike is an excellent fielder and a timely hitter, and he tops these assets with a fiery spirit that makes him the sparkplug of the Michigan nine. led the losers with two singles and a walk. The Regulars lined up in the field with Ruehle at first; Steppon, sec- ond base; Sofiak, shortstop; and Chamberlain at third. The outfield had Trosko in left; Pink in center and Holmanindright field. With Evashevski behind the plate, it will probably be this lineup that will open for the Wolverines. r STADIUM HILLS I GOLF COURSE NOW OPEN! .. at SOUTH MAIN and CUT-OFF ROAD I U S MAY N FESTIVAL Tigers Trim Washington, 4-2, In, Grapefruit League Contest 51INCM W~.SGOT T41S 44ANIDY N~EW ELECT1RIC TEAK F} , .}; }' .
