Their pitching staff has been bolstered by the presence of Ray Dennis, a veteran of three years col- lege competition. Fisher heard good news yesterday afternoon when Dr. Coxon, team phy-I sician, announced that Capt. Bill Steppon, the Wolverine star second sacker, will be released from the Uni- versity Health Service today or to- morrow. "Happy Bill" has had a slightly .bruised knee since the sea- son's opener against Maryland. Friday before the squad left for Columbus Bill complained of a pain in his knee. Ray took him over to the Health Service, where Dr. Coxon hos- pitalized the ailing second baseman for the last four days because of an infected knee. It is expected that Steppon will be ready for the all im- portant Illinois series this weekend. Bob Christenson, who is taking the injured Steppon's place at second base is turning in a bang up job. Not only has his fielding been better than average but he has also been getting his share off base hits. Bob; knocked out a home run against the# Buckeyes Saturday. Michigan. has sole possession of first place and is the only undefeated team in conference competition. Northwestern is in second place with only one loss in four conference games. The Wolverines will clash with the powerful Purple nine the week following the Illinois games. THE LINEUPS: Softball Games Hold Top Place I .A-_Sports Fraternity softball games were the main feature of Intramural play yes- terday as the teams fought to remain in the race for the softball cham- pionship that brings with it more points than any other spring sport. All of the teams have evidently im- proved greatly since the first week of competition, for the games just com- pleted were marked by sound pitch- ing and fielding. Top honors among the moundsmen went to Harold Lock- ard of Theta Chi, who held the Sig- ma Alpha Epsilon team to one run and one hit as his fraternity was scoring ten runs. In one of the more interesting games, Beta Theta Phi led off in their half of the first inning with 12 -uns but lost to Alpha Tau Omega, 20-12. Delta Upsilon won over Phi Kappa Psi in another slugfest by the score of 19-8. Results of the other games were Phi Gamma Delta 11, Delta Tau Del- ta 10; Trigon 18, Hermitage 7; Phi Sigma Kappa 15,1Phi Sigma Delta 5: Alpha Omega 15, Delta Sigma Pi 3; Delta Kappa Upsilon 12, Phi Delta Theta 9; Lambda Chi 14, Psi Upsi- lon 3; Alpha Chi Sigma 10, Alpha Rho Chi 7; Triangle 8, Zeta Psi 4. In the dormitory division the quart- er-finals 'of tennis competition is now in progress. Golf and horseshoes are scheduled to start soon.

Naies of each player were in- scribed in, miniature on the watch, which was presented to Greenberg at a private party at the Franklin Hills country club. Members of the New York Yankees, currently playing the American League champions, also attended the party. Tomorrow Greenberg, whose pow- erful bat was a big factor in Detroit's pennant drive last year, will step to the plate at Briggs Stadium for the last time this season. No special ceremonies are planned, but more fans than is usual for a week-day game are expected to take a last look at the big fellow who twice was voted the League's most valuable player and who reportedly draws baseball's highest salary. At 7 a.m. Wednesday - the day the pennant is to be raised at the ball park, - Greenberg will report at the army induction station here. That same night Greenberg will go with other draftees to Fort Custer where, Lieut. Col. Hammond D. Birks, commander of the reception center, indicated, he'll either remain or be sent to Camp Livingston, La. BIG TEN BASEBALL W L Pct.

WOMEN from 60 colleges have been introduced to the career best suited to their talentS through the vocatiohal guid- By BUD HENDEL When Coach Fritz Crisler assembled his squad on the opening day of this year's spring training grind the weather was cold and harsh, the field sloppy and muddy. At that time the consensus was that when the end of the spring drills rolled around, Crisler would be lacking in good ends. Yesterday, the first day of the last week of practice, found the tempera- ture soaring in the 80's, the field dry and hard, and still the absence of Big Ten calibre flankmen. Ed Frutig, one of the nation's top wingmen last year, is lost to the team1 by graduation, while the status of Joe Rogers, the other starting end, is still in doubt. Rogers, however, reported for practice for the first time yesterday. Ends Weakest Department The upshot of the whole thing ,is that Michigan will probably have to depend on last year's reserves and the freshmen who are coming up to handle the end posts. What they will be able to do under fire is ques- tionable. Crisler admits that it is the weakest department on the team,, as evinced by the spring drills. But, Crisler has seen some ends who show promise of developing in- to satisfactory Wolverine wingmen. None of them can be called good, but they may develop. On this list of men who may ring the bell for Michigan are Don Long, Jack Petos- key, Walt Freihofer, and Phil Sharpe. Long, a freshman from Grand Rapids who did not play on the frosh outfit, has shown a great deal of pass-catching ability. Petoskey, brother of the former Wolverine All American, plays a hard, fast brand of ball-but needs more weight. Frei- hofer, an Indianapolis lad who looked good on last year's yearling team, lacks experience; while Sharpe, a sophomore, has shown considerable improvement. Karwales, Flynn Candidates Then again, the Michigan mentor does see some hope if John Karwales and Terry Flynn' return to school next fall. Both are big, fast, rugged sophomores and will aid considerably in strengthening the Maize and Blue flanks. Crisler remarked on the spirit shown by the team as a whole. He said that in spite of the fact that it is hard for the gridders to stay keyed up during the grueling spring drills, this' gang has shown good enthusiasm and cooperation. Pads were doffed yesterday as the boys went through their paces. There was no scrimmage, but the weather wgs so hot that many of them lost as much as four pounds as the coaches sent them through a snappy signal drill. BUD PIEL about it.",... Bob TJfer showed that he is in top form as he ran the fast- cst. quarter of the mile relay in 48.8 seconds. - Yesterday the Wolverines were get- ting set to meet the Buckeyes here Saturday in a dual meet which, from all appearances, ,will be the best meet of the season . . . Ohio State took a surprising victory from the Indiana, Hoosiers, the team that has been burning up the conference, in a tri- angular meet between the two schools' and Purdue last Saturday . . .

Coach Doherty had his 220 yard sprinters and low hurdlers practic- irg starts en the curve of the track today ... both teams will start that way Saturday in preparation for the conference meet because there is no 220 yard straightaway at Minneapolis. ,. The most encourag- ing note of yesterday's practice session was sounded by Neil Me- Intyre . . . Neil, who has been both- ered by a bad leg, ran his high hurdles in 14.9 seconds at practice, which was the winning time turned in by Frank McCarthy in the Notre Dame mct. (Continued from Page 1) sets Hammett was behind love-two before he got going. After that, he was never in hot water and went on to score many, points at the net. The third singles match between Porter and Anderson proved to be the most hotly contested of the day. Anderson took a commanding 5-3 lead and really had Porter on the run before the cool, steady Porter brcke through his opponent's serv- ice and brought the score to 5-4. Porter took his own serve and then continued on to a 7-5 victory. Porter Comes From Behind The second set was just as close as the first with Porter again com- ing from behind to gain the victory. Anderson put on a sudden burst of shots at the beginning of this set to take a 2-0 lead before Porter could get started. When he did, however, there' was no holding him, for he built up a 4-2 lead before eas- ing up.' The match ended 7-5 with Porter on top. Wayne Stille, number four man, continued his excellent play as he whipped Ray Lucht, 6-2, 6-2. Lucht was leading 2-1 in the second set but this was the closest he got to victory. Stille looked good, rushing through the match to score numerous points. In the final singles battle, Tom Gamon walked all over his opponent, Fred Richards, taking the first set 6-0 and the second 6-1. Gamon wont nine straight games before Richards finally broke through to win a game. Tobin, Hammett Win Easily The Wolverines' oustanding doubles team of Tobin and Hammett found very little competition .from Stett- ner and Armstrong, as they took an easy 6-1, 6-2 victory. They were leading 5-0 in the first set before the two Purdue sophomores won a game. Hammett as well as Tobin both played well at the net. In the last match of the afternoon, Porter arid Stille bested Anderson and Lucht, 6-4, 6-2. After the Michi- gan duo jumped off to a 2-0 lead, the battle see-kawed back and forth till Porter and Stille emerged victorious. The second set was hardly a match and the Wolverines won handily. The Summaries Tobin (M) defeated Stettner (P), 6-2, 6-4; Hammett (M) defeated Armstrong (P), 6-3, 6-3; Porter (M) defeated Anderson (P), .7-5, 7-5; Stille (M) defeated Lucht (P), 6-2, 6-2; Gamon (M) defeated Richards (P), 6-0, 6-1; Tobin and .Hammett defeated Stettner and Armstrong, 6-1, 6-2; Porter and Stille defeated Anderson and Lucht, 6-4, 6-2. There will be a meeting of all captains and captains-elect of the various sport teams at the Union at 8 o'clock tonight. Also the "1 Club officers are asked to attend.
