From Heston To Infinity... N REFERRING TO THE UNIVERSITY of Michigan and Wolverine ath- letic teams, an Eastern sports writer once remarked: "From Heston to Infinity is the span of her eminence." Those are just ten words, just a few syllables strung together in a man- ner no one had ever done before. But behind them lies a wealth of Maize and Blue tradition, athletic lore, spirit, sportsmanship and all the other, things, both tangible and intangible, that have served to make Wolverine sports representatives the much-feared and highly-respected competitors they have come to be throughout the nation. When we first came across the quotation just three years ago, it carried little significance. But as it stands in print before us now, it brings a rush of memories, a flood of concrete illustrations to mind of events that have occurred since that time. Over and over again have we seen instances on the field of action, in the locker room, in the stands, which help to instill a deeper and more profound meaning in the phrase. They haven't all been championship performances-or always win- ning ones for that matter-but they have possessed an inexpressible some- thing which has added to Michigan's great athletic heritage and prestige. T HERE WAS THE TIME back in 1938, for instance, when a bad- ly outweighed Wolverine grid team, playing in its first season under Coach Fritz Crisler, was fighting a desperate scoreless battle against a powerful Northwestern machine. Wildcat Ollie Hahnenstein had just tossed a 52-yard-pass to Bernie Jefferson and Michigan was backed to the s 1adow of its own goalpost. On the first play the Wolverines were offside and penalized back to the six yard line. Then in three plays the Purple juggernaut edged the ball to the Maize and Blue one, a scant 36 inches from victory. Fullback George McGurn cracked to the one foot line. But Jack Ryan,' Jefferson, and then Ryan again were thrown back in three successive plays by an almost un- believably indomitable Wolverine line Eight chances the Wildcats had from the 11-yard stripe, but Maize and Blue seniors Heikkinen, Siegel, Smick, Brennan and Hook, and the rest, playing their last home game for Michigan, courag- eously made it their best one. And then there was the pair of dual swimming meets with Ohio 'State that same year. The Buck- eyes were riding the crest that sea- son, spearheaded by such tank aces as Al Patnik, Billy Quayle and Curly Stanhope. In the first meet at Ann Arbor the crowd, whipped to a feverish pitch, roared as an inspired Wolverine relay team touched out a desperately-churn- ing Scarlet quartet in a photo fin- ish to gain a 42-42 deadlock. Several weeks later the same teams staged a repeat performance down at Columbus, and once again it required an incredible touch win in the final relay for the Wolver- ines to gain a tie with the supposed- ly-invincible Bucks. Michigan State By 7-2_Margin Capt. Jim Tobin, Hammet Pace Squad With Wins In Doubles And Singles (Continued from Page 1) and Chicago, who were defeated by Michigan last weekend. In the number five and six singles matches, Tom Gamon polished off Floyd Krause with little difficulty, 6-4, 6-1, and Alden Johnson downed Bob Harris in similar style, 6-3, 6-2. In the doubles contests, Tobin and Hammett walloped Drilling and Per- kins, 6-3, 6-1, but Porter and Stille were forced to go three sets to defeat Maxwell and Beeman. Coach Leroy Weir made one change in his lineup, teaming Roy Bradley with Gamon at the number three doubles spot. This combination beat State's Harris-Krause duo, 6-4, 6-4. Singles - Tobin (M) defeated Drilling 2-6, 6-2, 6-1. Hammett (M) defeated Perkins 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. Max- well (MSC) defeated Porter, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. Beeman (MSC) defeated Stille, 9-7, 6-3.

Track Team To Pit Power Against Irish By BOB STAHL Javelins flying through the air,l pole-vaulters soaring over the bar, shouts of "Track! Clear the track!" - such was the scene of varied but in- tensive activity at Ferry Field yester- day as Coach Ken Doherty put his charges through their final workout before the dual meet with Notre Dame at South Bend tomorrow. With the Irish offering opposi- tion in the form of one of the most powerful aggregations the Wolverines will face in their outdoor season this year, Doherty spent most of the time yesterday polishing the rough edges - working on starts with his sprint- ers, casting his watchful eye on Bob Hook at work with the shot put and Tommy Lawton throwing the discus, and supervising the baton-passing of his crack mile relay team. Mile Relay Problem The biggest problem confronting the Michigan coach before this meet is that of which of his five top quart- er-milers to cast together in the mile relay. Warren Breidenbach is a good bet to run the anchor leg, but Doherty is faced with the difficult task of selecting his other three men from among Bob Ufer, Al Thomas, Jack Leutritz, and little Bobby Barnard, all of whom have turned in very good times in preceding meets this year. Jeff Hall and Bob Barnard are slated to run the low hurdles, with Neil McIntyre topping the tall tim- bers for Michigan. And with Capt. Don Canham, who high-jumped over 6 ft., 5 in., in practice this week, and Charlie Decker promising much in the pole-vault department, the Wol- verines will present plenty of power against the strong Irish tomorrow. Squad Leaves Tomorrow The traveling squad which will en- train for South Bend at 8:50 Satur- day morning is as follows: Bill Ack- erman, Barnard, Breidenbach, Can- ham, ,Decker, Jack Dobson, John El- dredge, Jeff Hall, Gene Hirsch, Hook, John Kautz, Lawton, Herb Leake, Leutritz, McIntyre, Dave Matthews, Frank McCarthy, John McKean, Al Piel, John Purdue, Bob Segula, Thom- as, Ufer, Wilbert Wedenoja, Johnny Wise, Karl Wisner, and Bill Dobson. (Continued from Page 1) the equal of any college foursome in the country in the field, and is hit- ting at a .275 clip. Catcher George Harms sensa- tional hitting streak led the club's attack since the home opener. The little receiver has an all-game aver- age of .396, and paces the Conference with a .625 mark compiled in the two Chicago games. Bud Chamber- lain is crowding him with .372, and outfielders Dick Wakefield and Don Holman are both well over .300. Wakefield seems to have found the range, and the big sophomore should hit for a lot of extra bases from now on. Pitchers Perform Well f Fisher's mound staff, too, has turned from his big headache to one of the best staffs in the Conference. Chiefly responsible for the change is Wise, whose two-hit beauty in the BATTING AVE1l AGES Player AB Harms .......48 Chamberlain . . 51 Wakefield ....29 Holman .......55 Nelson........57 Ruehle .......36 Steppon .......46 Cartmill .......10 Sofiak ........ 52 R 8 13 5 7 13 7 10 2 6 H 19 19 10 17 17 10 12 2 10 Pet. .396 .372 .344 .309 .298 .277 .260 .200 .192 have slipped since they swept five out of six games in the South, and the team bat'ting mark is around .200 now. If they do show any punch at the plate, it will probably be from the bats of outfielders Wayne Heaf- ner and Jack McLain and shortstop Jimmy Langhurst. Langhurst was moved in from his outfield spot to replace the injured George School, and is clouting the ball around the .400 mark. Bucks ,Beat Purdue The Buck hurlers, in spite of the loss of Capt. Gene Dornbrook with a sore arm, brought them two close wins over Purdue in their Confer- ence openers, and the only hitting the Ohio team showed was in an 11- inning 10-9 win over Wisconsin. They dropped the first Badger tilt to take third in the Big Ten standings with a .750 percentage. The Buckeyes were able to split a pair with the Michigan State team that bowed to Michigan, 4-3, but dropped two to Western State, which had to score twice in the ninth to nose out the Wolverines. The Ohio State mound duties, with Dornbrook out, have fallen to the veteran Sexton and a pair of juniors, John Lohrey and Joe Mack. Sexton and Mack split the Purdue victories, with Lohrey relieving Dornbrook in his last appearance to get credit for the Badger win. Sexton will pitch today, with Lohrey or Mack starting Saturday's tilt. The lineups: Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pct.

Both he and Stoddard were at their best in short appearances against Western State and Michigan State, respectively, and should turn back the Bucks without a lot, of trouble. Stoddard has been bothered with sore chest muscles, but it hasn't marred his effectiveness on the mound. Relief Pitchers Ready Left-handers Neil Muir and Mase Gould, who turned , in great relief jobs this week, will be used for the same task at Columbus if needed. Muir turned in a four-hit job in six innings against the Spartans, and Gould held the Bronco powerhouse hitless for four frames before weak- ening in the ninth.

Coach Ken Doherty's fighting lads had bowed only the week previously to Indiana's overpowering cinder might and went down to Indian- apolis with the prospect of watching Hoosier spikes again all weekend. But Michigan, fighting furiously, scored an unheralded three point win over In- di na for the team title. Then there was the Ohio State football classic of 1939 when little Freddy Trosko scored the winning touchdown on a fake placement attempt in the last 40 seconds. And the basketball game against Indiana's title-bound Hoosiers which closed out big Jim Rae's Michigan career last year. Inspired to the very heights of emotional fury, the Wolverines staved off Indiana's cage wizardry and surged to a spine-chilling victory. Last fall there was the Minnesota grid clash at Minneapolis.

Coming to Ann Arbor with revenge on their minds for the 13 to 11 de-' feat that Michigan handed them last, year, the boys from Indiana will bring with them a squad bolstered by five letter-winners and nine numeral win- ners. With only three returning vet- erans this year, on the face of things, Michigan is thus considered as the underdog by the experts. But from the way Courtright's men have been behaving in past matches this season, the Hoosiers are going to have a hot weekend. Soutar Is Coach Coached by James Soutar, profes- ' sional fmi nthe Bloo mington Country Club, Indiana has already won matches from Detroit and North- western, annual producers of strong golf teams. It is here that Michigan has its most ominous warning, for Northwestern has been on top of the golfing heap for many a year. But the Wolverines have met and outdone1 other highly touted teams this year, and from the way Courtright has been practicing his men, the out- come of the meet is likely to be high- ly interesting. Ranking Hoosiers The Hoosiers' five ranking players today are Bill Horton, Wilbur Van Horn, Harold Schmidt, Frank Pen- ning and Steve Rose. Bob Sill and Julius Brownstein are also likely to get the call to action. For the Wolverines, Coach Court- right expects to start Captain Fred Dannenfelser, Johnny Barr, Bob Fife, and Ben Smith in the first four po- sitions, with John Leidy, Dave Os- ler, Ken Calder and Chandler Si- monds in the supporting roles. Court- right will play more of his reserves according to the number of men In- diana brings from Bloomingto, Rain Forecast For Derby LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 1.-(P)- The threat of "Dat Ol' Debbil" rain for Saturday scored the trainers of some of the Kentucky hopes into a state bordering on the blind staggers today, but left those handling the favorites leading cheers for mud.
