13, 1939 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PsiU Scores 33 Peckinpaugh Plays UnderDad In First Year Of Pro Baseball By ART HILL There are probably not many stu- dents on the Michigan campus who would jump at the prospect of spend- ing their summer vacation in Opa- lousas, La. But Walt Peckinpaugh, captain and third baseman of last year's Michigan baseball squad, was glad of the chance to do just that, be- cause Walt went there to play third base for the Opalousas baseball club in the Evangeline League, known among baseball men as the fastest class D league in the country. As soon as classes were finished last June, Walt left for Nashville where he signed a contract with the New Orleans Pelicans of the South- ern Association, a club managed by his father, Roger Peckinpaugh, for- mer chief of the Cleveland Indians. Recalled By New Orleans However, his dad decided that the jump from college ball to the South- ern Loop was a little too big for Peck so he was sent to Opalousas, where he stayed until shortly after Aug. 1, when he was recalled by the Peli- cans. Playing nine innings of baseball every day is a little hard to get used to, according to the young third sack- er even for a fellow who has been used to working out each afternoon, as Walt did during the college sea- son. The change from daylight to night ball is also a little difficult to accus- tom oneself to. "The lights in the Evangeline League are pretty poor," says Walt. "Half the time, I found myself standing in a shadow at third base. And base-running is harder because it is impossible to see the ball in the outfield after it hits the ground." Night. Baseball Difficult The greatest menace in night base- ball is the swarms of bugs which seem to frequent the parks and, according to Peck, often necessitate players ducking while running the bases. Calling time for the express purpose of removing gnats from a player's eyes is not at all uncommon. With the Pelicans, Walt was a. team-mate of pitcher Johnny Hum- phries and second-baseman Jim Shilling, Cleveland rookies who will undoubtedly be given another chance to make the major league grade next spring. Peck's batting mark at New Or- leans was only .229 but it was rising steadily as the season ended. "When. I first joined the team," he says, "I got only two hits in my. first 19 dimes at bat. Then I began getting one or two every day but I couldn't get over the effects of that poor Mtart." In the field, he did not make an error until the final day of the season. 'Mishaps In Football Accidental'-Governor LANSING, Oct. 12.-(PA)-Gov. Lur- en D. Dickinson, who attended the Michigan-Michigan State football game last Saturday after refusing to watch the Joe Louis-Bob Pastor prize fight, said today several persons had written him asking "why?" "In a prize fight," he said, "the intention of each fighter is to hit and injure the other fellow. In football no player, intends to hurt another. Such injuries as do result are acci- dental."

October 20th Points T4 c PhiGaMs Hold Second Place Largest Entry In History Sees Action; New Type Of Relays Are Featured By JOE WALKER The Psi Upsilon track tearm rac- tically assured itself of ultimate vic- tory in the annual Fraternity Out- door Track Meet, as :c rolled up close to a record score yesterday af- ternoon at Ferry Field. The win is not yet official since there .are two events, the high jump and pole vault, which still remained after darkness had called a halt to the meet. The nearest approach to Psi U's score of 33 points was the Phi Gam- ma Delta total of 21. The Phi Gams, winners of last year's meet, edged out Chi Psi by one point, but re- sults of the remaining two events may change that standing. Crowd Causes Delay The largest participation in the history of the meet was recorded yes- terday, with more than 300 men on hand. It was this huge crowd that delayed, the meet and forced the directors to postpone the two events and eliminate the progressive broad jump. Psi U placed only one man in any of the individual. events, but left it up to the relay team to account for all the scoring. The ten-man squad, composed of Ganson Taggard, Jack Chapman, Rex Latham, Richard Lord, Fred Heath, Reed Crammer, Ken Marshall, Noel Pridgeon. Fred Spaulding and David Allen, won easily in the Shuttle and Potato Re- lays and were narrowly shaded by a fighting Chi Psi repesentation in the Horse and Rider Relay. Relays Are New Of the three relays run, two, the potato and horse and rider are pro- ducts of the imagination of the In- tramual Department and were in- cluded in the program in an attempt to present a more acceptable pro- gram._ The horse and rider rela is what its name implies: one man riding on the back of another for 30 yards. The potato. relay is very unusual and calls for the placing of a wooden cube in three rings by each partici- pant. Eldridge Runs Fourth Biggest individual disappointment of the day was Dave Eldridge's show- nig in the 120-yard low hurdles. Dave, running for Theta Delta Chi, t'n- shed n6 better than fourth in the final heat, after turning in the best time of the afternoon in the event by winning his heat in :137. He made up for it later by tying Phi Beta Delta's Norman Elson and Sig- ma Chi's Carl Riggs for individual scoring honors, all three boys being on top with a first and a fourth apiece. Sigma Chi, which finished fourth, the only entry to place two men in the same individual event. Carl Riggs and Don Siegel turned the trick when they took first and second places respectively in the shot put.

Joe Savilla Seeks Full Year's Work After Being Jinxed Twice By Injuries By MASE GOULD The fire of determination, once at a low ebb because of repeated physi- cal setbacks, has once again returned, and now burns' brighter than ever in the heart of Coach Crisler's tower- ing, fierce-charging first string tackle, Roland "Joe" Savilla. Savilla, because his grid career has been interrupted to such an extent by the injury jinx during the past two years, has a burning desire to participate in every game this sea- son, his last, and furthermore in such a manner as to convince any remaining skeptics that he can play great football. And he has already started out in an auspicious fashion. Injury Jinx Strikes The injury jinx began to plague Crisler's quiet-spoken 6 foot, 3 inch, 205-pound Gallagher, W.Va. product in his very first year on the squad. Although only a sophomore, Savilla figured prominently in the plans of Harry Kipke, then in his last year as Wolverine head coach, because of his size and defensive potentialities. In fact, Joe earned himself a starting assignment. Then came trouble. In a practice scrimmage before the Minnesota game, which was the' third of the season, Savilla. suffered a -compound dislocation of a finger, but he entered the Gopher tussle with the digit bandaged. No sooner had he gotten into the fray than he was out of it again, this time with a strained instep on his right foot. Splinters Cheek Bone That was 1937, but more trouble was on the wing. Two weeks before last year's opener with Michigan State, Joe was hit in the cheek by the flying foot of one of his team- mates, and a splintered bone was the result. He missed the Spartan game, but won back his tackle job in time for Chicago, at which time he used a specially built face guard. All went well until the crucial battle with Minnesota the following week. In that game, Savilla, togeth- er with the rest of Michigan's power- ful forward wall, turned in a grand job by repeatedly throwing back the Gopher charges, but in the final quarter in which Van Every's pinch- passing toppled the Wolverines, 7 to 6, Joe wound up with a broken bone in his right foot. This blow sent him down for the count and he was forced to wear a cast for the remain- der of the season. But this is another year. At the 0 Lead In terfraternity Track Mee r Q he says, and adds rather glumly, " about timie for me to break somebc else's bones."

In short, he was as spry as# any man on the field. Savilla has nothing to remind of past injuries now save his face guard, which he still wears as a precaution.
