PETERSBURG, Fla., March 29. -())-Hank Greenberg, the prospec- tive draftee, shouldered a bat like a good soldier would a musket today and led the Detroit Tigers out of an- other spring season losing streak to an 8 to 5 victory over Brooklyn's second team. Of 11 Detroit hits, hustling Hank got four. One was his third home run in two days, a belt over the left field fence with the bases empty in the fifth. He also rapped out a double and two singles. Schoolboy 'Rowe, who opened for the Tigers, was much improved from his last start. He hurled the first six innings, allowing six hits and two runs. Lew Riggs found him for a homer. Rowe was mediocre his last time out. For Virgil (Fire) Trucks, touted speed-ball boy from Beaumont, the story was less hopeful. The young- ster worked the last three frames and walked six men, enough to prove that he still lacks control and probably will be farmed out for a while. Tucker Stainback joined the small circle of Tigers who have hit homers in the spring season. Herode one over the left field wall in the fourth with Rowe on base.

With the air around the pool fairly charged with electricity, the score standing Michigan 36, Yale 33, the' opening 100 yard free style with two Wolverines and one Eli swimming. set off the stretch battle for the NCAA Championship. Prew Takes 100 But it was the season's "Hot Shot," Bill Prew of Wayne, who took the title from Gus Sharemet with a 52.1 clocking.Howie Johnson, 220 champ, was second with Charley Barker and Sharemet finishing third and fourth. Prew led the entire distance with Charley hanging close and Gus hardly a strong contender. Johnson's ter - rific kick licked Barker for second. Michigan, banking heavily on Jim Skinner to cop the 200-yard breast stroke, received quite a scare when Ned Parke of Princeton, after fol- lowing Jim for the first three-quar- ters of the race, burst ahead with but two lengths to go. In the last 15 yards, however, Parke blew out like a candle in a breeze, and Skinner, with his same smooth stroke, bulleted to the finish in 2:25.9-far from the record the crowd expected. Michigan Holds Lead Joe Jodka of Massachusetts State was a close third while Yale's lone, entry, Johnny Meyers, was fifth be- hind Art Bethke of Chicago. Michigan had built up a 47 to 38 lead at this point. Then Bob Kiphuth's fighting Yale squad pulled closer to the Maize and Blue as Jim Cook, waging a terrific battle with peerless Earl Clark of Ohio State, finished second to add4 four more points to the Eli total. Cook was less than two points away from Clark who had to be slightly sensational to whip the Eli represen- tative. Clark's total was 165.4 with Cook hitting 163.93.

Redl Gridmen Win In first Practice Tilt' 'Muddy Turf Fails To Halt Backs As Many Long Runs Are Made By NORM MILLER By GENE GRIBBROEK They say that no ball team ever got anywhere without a good double play combination. If Coach Ray Fisher has any faith in that axiom, he cer- tainly isn't worrying about it. For Fisher has his double play teai this spring, and it's a good one. Last year's Wolverines. chalked up 19 twin killings in 22 games, one of the. best records in Michigan history. Thei Mike Sofak-Bill Steppon duo at sec- (nd base was credited with 10 of these and one or the other took part in seven more. Now both Sofiak and Captain Steppon are back at their old spots, and with an added year's experience behind them they should be clicking better than ever when the season opens April 11. They have been working together around the keystone sack since they were freshmen, and under Fisher's guidance have devel- oped into one of the smiothest work- ing combinations the Wolverines have ever had. Besides the extra year's experi- ence, there's another factor that brightens the prospects. The factor is little Mike's arm. Sofiak's flip- per, which bothered him all last spring, feels okay again, and both Fisher and Mike himself look for this to be the Gary shortstop's best year. Mike hasn't had much good luck as a ball-player here. The jinx struck at him as a sophomore, when he crashed into a big Notre Dame pitch- er between third base and home, in- juring his shoulder. He didnt see much service the rest Qf the season, except for a little outfield duty, be- cause he could barely get the ball across the diamond. Soreness Appearedl Then last year the old soreness ap- peared again: It bothered him all season, mentally and physically, and accounts in large part for the .167 average Mike turned in at the plate. Sofiak has been giving the arm a lot of work this spring, and says that it '"feels better than it has since my freshman year." As for his batting, he declares, "that'll come around with the arm."'And Coach Fisher agrees, for he knows that worry over the in- jury hurt Mike's play in the field and at bat last year. The other half of the combination, second-sacker Steppon, is ready to MIKE SOFIAK Munn Expects Guards To Fill Hole Left By Fritz And Sukup ./ - --- --- -- - By BUD HENDEL r , s W li li w gi F: s2 e t d t B i sx n, a7 a SUNDAY SUPPER March 30, 1941 Fruit Plate with Cottage Cheese Washington Cream Cake or Ice Cream Beverage 50c Spanish Omelette French Fried Potatoes Chocolate Sundae or Cherry Pie Beverage 50c0 Chicken Tetrazzini in Casserole Arabian Peach Salad Washington Cream Cake or Strawberry Sundae Beverage 60c Cream of Fresh Mushrooms Grilled Pork Chop, Spiced Apple Candied Sweet Potato Stuffed Green Pepper Butterscotch-Royal Ice Cream or Cherry Pie Beverage 75c * GOOD FOOD Excellent Service 6 to 7:30 o'clock 'II' JIM WELSH Golf Tryouts, Coach Await Fair Weather INature lovers and love birds aren't the only ones hoping for good spring weather these days. Some 18 golf hopefuls are feeling the call of the open fairway instead of the white cloth of the indoor driving nets in front of their faces down in the Sports Building. Coach aay Courtright has a nu- cleus of only three letterwinners with which to work, Capt. Fred Dannel- felser, John Leidy, and Dave Osler, but Cliff James and John Barr, who saw some competition last year, have returned. Dave Ladd, a senior engi- neer and former Ann Arbor High player, Chandler Simonds, Breard Fishburn and Don Smith will also be strong contenders for positions. Numeral winners from last year are plentiful with Buel Morely, Wayne Wolf, Bill Courtright, Bob Fife, and Ben Smith, Western Junior Trophy winners, fighting it out for berths. Courtright is getting ready to pick his squad for the annual Southern trip during spring vacation. The linksmen will open their season at Athens, Georgia, facing the 'Ram- blin' Wrecks' of Georgia Tech, April 14. I r t , r I t Last year two gridders, small in tature but huge in ability, closed the ook forever on the chapter of their ives dealing with football at the Uni- versity of Michigan. And this year, ine coach Clarence Munn is faced with the problem of replacing those raduating guard stalwarts, Ralph Fritz and Milo Sukup. "We'll miss Ralph and Milo," Munn aid, "and most of all, we'll miss their xperience. We'll miss their spirit, oo. They were always the first men down the field under a punt, and hey showed plenty of fight and guts. But we have nineteen men battling t out for the guard positions this pring, and it looks like we have the numbers and quality to replace Ralph and Milo." Of the nineteen men Munn men- ioned, Bob Kolesar, the husky Cleve- and sophomore who jumped in and did an excellent job when Sukup was njured last fall, looms as the starter at the inside guard slot. "Booming" Bob is all that his nickname implies as he mows down opposing linesmen ad backs with crisp blocks and hard tackles. Another candidate who has proved his worth is junior letterman Bill Melzow. Bill is handicapped by a lack of size, but at the present time he nust be rated the edge of greater rear. Welsh Beats Chouteau Coming back from his two bitter defeats of yesterday, young Jim Welsh discarded "smart" racing for the knock-down drag-out type and after watching the lead in the 4401 change between Andy Clark, defend- ing champion from Wayne, and his nemesis, Rene Chouteau, of the old Blue of Yale, he assumed control for himself at t]4e 270-yard mark "and held it to the finish. The win- ning time was 4:51.4. There was not more than a yard separating Welsh from Chouteau, who sprinted to second place with Clark third and the Eli captain, Willis Sanburn, fourth. Michigan's Jack Patten found the field too stiff and ended out of the money in sixth.

Robinson intercepted a Blue pass on the enemy 35-yard line and raced the ball back to the three. After a short plunge by Grissen, Robinson cracked over tackle 'for the score. Grissen scored the second touchdown a few minutes later when he caught a feeble punt from the toe of the Blue kicker and legged it 25 yards over the goal line. Several other sparkling runs feat- ured the scrimmage session. Fresh- man Seymour Roth broke away once for a 57-yard sprint; Elmer Madar, Chuck Kennedy, Robinson and White each cut loose for neat 25-yard dash- es; and Grissen and Don Boor, fresh- man fullback, produced some fine line-plunging. Tom Kuzma provided the best punt of the afternoon when, favored by a wind at his back, the Gary yearling booted one over 60 yards, while Johnny Allerdice twice connected with Ray Sowers for sizeable passing gains.
