THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGr SVN ---------- W6- Tennis Squad To Head South For Six Meets Capt. Jim Tobin To Lead Team Of Eight Men On SpringInvasion By DICK SIMON Here's one for Rgobert Ripley's Be- lieve-It-Or-Not column. The Michi- gan tennis team has had a chance to practice outside before it leaves for its annual spring southern tour. Old Jupiter Pluvius took a vaca- tion long enough for Coach Leroy Weir's netters to work outside yes- terday in their last minute prepara- tions before they leave Tuesday. Eight Netters To Go Eight men will be making the tripI this year ands they are expected to} meet some tough competition. Cap- tain Jim Tobin, Lawton Hammett, Jim Porter, Wayne Stille and Tom Ganmon will be playing in the first five, singles positions and either Howie' Bacon, Jim Bourquin or Alden John- son will fill number six. Two doubles teams are already set. Tobin will pair with Hammett to form the number one team, and Por- ter will, play with Stille in the nutn- ber two slot. Gamon will team up with one of the three remaining players. In all probability Weir will give each of the three a crack at the job. Six matches are scheduled this year for the southern campaign which will find the Wolverines bat- tling Washington and Lee at Lexing- ton, Virginia in the opening match April 12. Virginia Military Institute will furnish the opposition on April 14 in the same city. The following day the netmen will meet Wake Forest at Wake Forest, North Carolina. Squad To Meet Duke On April 16 the raquet-wielders will face a strong North Carolina squad at Chapel Hill, North Caro- lina. Weir expects this team to be the toughest one that will be faced on-the warm-up jaunt. The next day the team travels to Durham to meet the Duke Blue Devils, who whipped the Wolverines last year, 8-1. The last leg of the trip will find Michigan pitted against Virginia in Charlottesville on April 18. Last year the Wolverines fell before the Cava- liers to the tune of 5-3. Weir, along with the rest of the team, hopes that they will have fav- orable weather to get in shape for the matches with" the Conference teams which begin the week following spring vacation. Last year the team played only two matches and lost both of them. Joe Louis Will Meet Tony Musto Tonight In Monthly Title Defense ST. LOUIS, April 7.-(IP)-The Joet Louis spring carnival, playing one night stands up and down the coun- tryside, stops off here tomorrow night to put on its display of fisticuffs and fireworks for the entertainment of everyone-except possibly Tony Musto. The Brown Bomber "risks" his world heavyweight championship at 9:30 p.m. (Central Standard Time) in the arena against the short-sized slugger from Chicago, whose only chance to escape what happened to Al McCoy, Red Burman, Gus Dorazio,; and Abe Simon this season is said to lie in a squat, crouching style and a somewhat better than fair punch. All kinds of attendance and gate receipt records for St. Louis fistic festivals are expected to be broken, despite the fact no one but squat Tony has even the faintest idea he'll either last the full 15 rounds or win the fight. Mike Jacobs, the New York impre- sario who is co-promoting this fuss with Tom Packs, joyfnlly estimates there will be more than 20,000 fans on hand for the party, and they'll pay a total of $55,000. Up to now the prev- ious high for St. Louis was hit in 1930, when 18,130 customers con- tributed $48,000 to the see the local unveiling of Primo Carnera. There was virtually no betting onj the outcome of tomorrow's titanic ;i'uggle. The general impression was ,hat Louis would end the fight in css than five rounds. This corner fig- ;res it'll be' all over around the third 3r fourth. Anything under 9 minutes and 48 seconds will be better than par or the course for Joe; That's the tverage he has mnintained since win- aing the title from Jim Braddock in 1937. The fight will be broadcast on the NBC blue network. The Cold Facts AAU Scoring Stops Matmell :Deane, Becker, Unbeaten Yet Fail To Gain Titles Though they failed to bring home any-title from the National AAU Wrestling Meet held in Detroit this past weekend, the University grap- plers did much better than the final summaries indicate. A unique scoring system kept several of the Wolverines from the laurels that might have been theirs. Ray Deane, varsity wrestler, went through all his matches undefeat- ed, including the final in which he decisioned Martin Span of Cleveland.' But since Span had won all of his! previous matches by pinning his op- ponents, he had fewer points against him than Deane, and consequently!I was awarded the 134-pound title, while his conqueror, Ray Deane took second place. In the 158-pound class, Mary Beck- er went through a similar experience, in that he bested Co-captain Benny Riggs of Michigan State in the finals, yet Becker failed to place and Riggs was named champion, through the point system. John Wilson, the only other Wolverine to threaten the lead- ers, took a second place in the heavy- weight division. A' Free Garment Storage in Ann Arbor's ONIv efrigeratedVAULT.

It's a publicity release from the spring football camp of Bernie Bier- man's charges in Minneapolis. And every Wolverine gridder has seen it as it flaunts its challenge for grid- iron supremacy to one and all. Gophers Optimistic For the Big Ten pigskin champs of 11940 are expecting to be just as strong this coming season as they were during the last campaign. The drums have already started to beat for the men of Minnesota. According to the release from the Gopher publi- city office, a wave of optimism pre- vails in the headquarters of the West- ern Conference football titleholders. The release claims that Minnesota's mentor, Bernie Bierman is well pleased over the prospects of the Min- neapolis school's strength for the next football season. Twenty-three letter- men are returning from last year's championship squad to form a strong nucleus for Bierman to work with. Also, the Gopher coach is looking for- ward to a good showing from the men up from a strong freshman team of last fall. Wolverines Remember Defeat And all this is one of the big rea- sons for the fire in the eyes of the Michigan gridmen as Coach Fritz Crisler conducts the Wolverine spring drills at Ferry Field. Last year's 7-61 defeat at the hands of the Golden Gophers still rankles in every heart. That was the game which dashed the title hopes of the Wolverines. On a muddy field the Michigan huskies completely outplayed the Gophers, only to be beaten by Minnesota's lone thrust of the day an eighty yard touchdown run by Bruce Smith and{ a wellaimed extra point by tiny Joe Mernik. Final score, 7-6, in favor of Minnesota. So in spite of chilly winds, mud, and rain the Michigan footballers aren't lacking in spirit as they go through. long hours of blocking practice and BURNSLEY SIITAI SUITS C -Proven &iccci!
