FRIDAY,APRIL25, 1941 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Nine Meets Chicago Here; Trackmen Compete At Drake Netmen ToGo After Opening Conference Win Wolverine Tenis Squad Meets Green Chicago Team In Windy City' By ART HILL A strong Varsity tennis squad left Ann Arbor at 4 p.m. yesterday, bound for Chicago where it will tangle this afternoon with the University of Chi- cago netters, Big Ten runners-up last spring. The Michigan squad, which won five out of six contests during its spring vacation Southern trip, is an unknown quantity as far as the Con- ference is concerned but Coach Le- roy Weir is hopeful that his boys can make a definite improvement over the fourth place which they took last year at the Conference meet. The Maroons will have only one letter-winner to count on in today's bid for their first Conference win. The lone returning veteran is Cal Sawyier, who won the number 3 bracket championship last season. Sawyier will meet Michigan's Capt. Jim Tobin in the number one singles match today. In the second bracket, Weir will use Lawton Hammett against Chicago's diminutive sophomore,, Walt Keme- tick. Kemetick, who stands only 5 feet 7 inches tall and tips the To- ledo at 145 pounds, displayed some brilliant tennis in pre-season work- outs which earned him the right to take over the second position. Number Three Man Jim Porter will try his unorthodox switch style of play against Bob Lifton of the Ma- roons who was runner-up for Big Ten honors in the fifth bracket. In the fourth singles match of the afternoon, the - Wolverines' colorful Wayne Stille will match his blister- ing service against Bill Self, the sec- ond sophomore on the Chicago squad. Dave Martin of Chicago will play at number five against Michigan's dependable Tom Gamon and the last singles match will see Alden Johnson of Michigan pitted against Jimmy Hill of the Midway outfit. In the doubles, the sensational Michigan duo of Tobin and Hammett will get its first test under fire against Sawyier and Kemetick. The second doubles match will pair Stille and Porter of the Wolverines against Self and Lifton while Gamon and Howie Bacon will battle Chicago's Dave Martin and Bob Weedfall in the af- ternoon's final match. Golfers Prep For Spartan Home Opener By LYONS HOWLAND Coach Ray Courtright's dark horse golf squad will open its home season tomorrow when the Wolverines face Michigan State's invading forces on the expansive University Golf Course. The Wolverines go into battle fav- ored by both this and last year's record. Meeting Michigan State on two occasions last year, Michigan trounced the Spartans by a 15 to 3 score the first time, but did not fare so well in the second match later in the season, Michigan State manag- ing to eke out the only tie Michigan had all year. As far as this year's records are concerned, both teams have fared well enough to make the match an interesting one. The Spartans with very little preparation lost to Ohio State early this season, and then the Wolverines defeated Ohio State. But Michigan State has had time for practice since then, so this is not as favorable a point for the Wolverines as it would seem. Coach Courtright expects to choose his starting squad from the team he took on the southern trip. Likely contenders for this berth are Cap- tain Fred Dannenfelser, Ben Smith, Dave Osler, John Barr, and Bob Fife. Others who will probably get the call to play are John Leidy, Chandler Simonds, Dave Ladd, and Ken Cald- er. Ben Van Alstyne, Michigan State coach, will come with a squad bol- stered by three dangerous veterans in the persons of Stanley Kowal, Bill Zylstra, and Ralph Kortge. Kowal has won two major letters and has qual- ified in the National Intercollegiates for the past two years. Zylstra quali- fied in the semifinals of the Michigan Amateur Championship last summer. Kortge was runnerup in last year's Central Michigan Golf Association tournament. Courtright is a little on the op- timistic side as he considers Michi- gan's chances against the dangerous Spartans. "However,". he says, "even though our record is in our favor, State has a potentially dangerous team, and anything is liable to hap- pen." To Start On Mound Ace right-hander Mickey Stod- dard will take the mound for Mich- igan against Chicago this afternoon as the Wolverines open their West- ern Conference season. Stoddard won three games while dropping none during the Southern trip, de- feating Navy, Maryland and Vir- ginia. Bridges, Croucher Pace Tigers To 4-2 Win Over Browns DETROIT, April 24.--(/P)-Free on- ly for a day from a hitting slump, the Detroit Tigers scraped up just five safe blows against the St. Louis Browns today but, thanks to Frankie Croucher and Tommy Bridges, they were enough to win, 4 to 2. Bridges, after some minor troubles in the early innings, turned in a masterpiece while Croucher, promot- ed yesterday from the bench.to reg- ular shortstop, saved the battle for Tommy with a two-run triple in the sixth. In avenging the season opener de- feat by the Browns, the Tigers ran into a big job because Vern Kennedy, although wild, was plenty tough for the seven innings he worked and Johnny Allen was no easier in the one remaining frame. Baseball Team Opens Big Ten Season Today' Stoddard To Take Mound In First Game Of Two Against Maroon Team (Continued from Page 1) graduated from a relief role last year to a starting job on this year's ques- tion-mark pitching staff, and at pres- ent leads the moundsmen with three wins to his credit, all against southern teams. Southpaws Mase Gould and Neil Muir, both of whom saw services in the Notre Dame game, will be in reserve. Coach Kyle Anderson's Maroon squad, touted as the best team to come out of the Midway in several years in the pre-season dope, has a 1record of one win against four losses this season. They split a pair of con- tests with DePauw in their openers, dropped a 17-10 slugfest to Notre Dame and lost twice to Northwestern, 4-0 and 11-4. The Wildcats staged a nine-run rally in the last two frames to lick Chicago Tuesday. Meyer Is Control Pitcher Meyer, a sophomore righthander, was credited with the Maroons' only win, a 9-6 decision over DePauw. Lacking speed, he depends largely on hairline control for effectiveness. Coach Anderson will save Lopatka, also a right-hander and strictly a fast-baller, to throw against the Wol- verines Saturday. Ken Garverick, a junior, and sophomore Rodney Briggs, both righthanders, will be available for relief duty. The rest of the Chicago squaei shapes up as a weak defensive outfit with fair power at the plate. When Lop atka is not pitching he goes in at center field with yearling Nick Paresi in left and Aaron Manders, leading hitter on the squad last ye ar, in right. Bob C. Miller goes to ?eft and Paresi moves to center wthen Lopatka is on the mound. Fons Recovered From Injury The infield lines up with Jack Fons at third, Earl Shanken at short, Sy Hirschberg on second and Bill Oost- enbrug at first. Fons was out of the lineup for the Northwestern series with a sprained ankle, but is expect- ed to be ready to go today. Ken Jen- sen will cover the hot corner if Fons is still benched. The heavy-hitting George Basich will be behind the plate. Fisher will start the same lineup that faced Notre Dame Tuesday with the exception of Stoddard on the hill. The Wolverine mentor decided to hope for a return to hitting form rather than experiment with a jug- gled batting order. .l* * * The lineups: Wolverines Prepared To Face Strong Field In Relay Carnival -- ' (Continuedafrom Page 1) ed by Notre Deimne, the same. quartet which puished the Wolverines to a new Field House standard in the Michigan AAU's. Defending cham- pions in the !event, the Maize and Blue combin atioh will have to hit close to 3:111x, however, to win from the Irish and a powerful Texas team. Strongest/ opposition for the Wol- verines' crae.ck two-mile relay quartet will proba fly come from the home town Dralce University team and a promising / Ohio State outfit. Run- ning for the Dohertymen will be soph- omore D ve Matthews, Jack Dobson,' Johnny Kautz and Warren Breiden- bach. T exas Favored In Medley A great Longhorn fourhome from Texas has been accorded a heavy edge 'in the sprint medley because of its world record breaking perform- ance in the recent Texas Relays. Doh- erty will pit a strong team of LeuL- tritz,. Bud Piel, Al Thomas and Breid- enbch against the Texans, but it is doubtful if the Wolverines can over- corae their tremendous sprint aces and Detroit sophomore Mac Um- stdt's blistering half-mile race. :Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Kansas will all send very strong relay teams a fter the four-mile crown, with Mich- M an's quartet of Bill Ackerman, John Purdue, Herb Leake, and Karl Wis- ner rated only average.sp The first three Wolverines will also perform along with junior Bill Dobson in the distance medley also, while Piel, Thomas, Bob Reutter and Chuck Don- ahey will bid for honors in the 880- yard relay. Terry Is Sprint Ace In the individual events, Michigan's performers appear to be outclassed by the top-notch field. Wolverine sprinters will come up against some of the nation's finest in the 100- yard dash when they face Texas' Carlton Terry who blazed the cen- tury in 9.4 seconds in the Kansas Relays, Minnesota's George Franck, Big Ten champion, and Iorthwest- ern's Myron Piker, former titleholder. Husky Frank McCarthy will see ac- tion in the broad jump and the high hurdles, while senior 'Bob Hook will buck Blozis in the shot put and Tex- as' invincible Jack Hughes in the discus. Karl Wisner is slated to bid for the two-mile title which Schwarz- kopf took last year, and sophomore John Wise will throw the javelin in his initial varsity appearance.
