THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE T Nelson Paces Baseball Squad With Perfect Day At The Plate By BOB SHOPOFF Crafty Coach Ray Fisher looked at the blue overhead skies with a broad smile yesterday as he sent his diamond squad through its second nine-inning game of the week yes- terday. The Varsity 'A' team made it two in a row yesterday as they blasted the 'B' team to win, 14-1. After the game Coach Fisher remarked, "We're improving every day. Today the fielding picked up a bit and if this weather continues, we'll certainly be set for the Southern trip." Nelson Gets Four Singles Michigan's diminutive center field- er, Davey Nelson, had a field day as he led the 'A' squad to victory. Little Davey, who really patrols the outer garden, collected four singles in as many times at bat and scored three markers to pace both nines. The Wolverine mentor used six sophomore hurlers in the tilt yester- day so he could get an idea how they First-Year Matmen Awarded NiNI-tei'als Five wrestlers who have been working out on the freshman mat squad for the past few months were awarded their numerals by Coach Ray Courtright today. Those who earned their sweaters, were Robert Allen, Eggertsville, N.Y.;, Robert Bursian, Petoskey; Lawrence Loftus, Toledo, Ohio; Donald O'Neill, Webster Groves, Mo., and Harry Rus- sel, Battle Creek. are shaping up. Chuck Weiss, Jack Hayes and Bill Whitney each pitched three innings for the 'B' team while Bill Cain, Dick Savage and Don Smith were on the mound for the 'A' squad. Cain Allows One Hit Cain was hot as he held the oppo- nents to a lone single and didn't al- low a man to get past first. Bill is a fast-ball pitcher and has fair control. He was aided yesterday by the high wind which gave added speed to his fast one. The wind didn't help the hitters either as it was blowing in from the outfield and held the fly balls up. The 'A' team started their scoring early when they counted four times in the first inning as faulty fielding by their opponents helped them. Again in the seventh they broke loose and batted around as Nelson started with a single -and ended the inning by stalling on second after singling. However, in between Nelson's two hits, the 'A' team garnered seven runs to put the game on ice. Chamberlain Clouts Triple Bud Chamberlain, who is practi- .cally dead certain to open the season at third base, added a thrill to the game in the ninth inning when he came up for his first time and promptly clouted the horsehide into left field for a triple. The only other extra-base hit of the game was from the bat of Johnny Erpelding, who is making his bid for shortstop. Coach Fisher is hoping that the weather will continue, because the two teams will go at it again today if it does. i Three Varsity Netmen Battle For Positions Weir Awaits Outdoor Drill Before Making Decision On Last Three Rankings By DICK SIMON, Not only is Coach Leroy Weir still undecided whom he will place in the number one, two and three singles spots, but he still can't make up his mind which of his netters will play in the lower three brackets. Competition in the lower three brackets is just as heated as in the first three singles positions, and again, the three men-Tom Gamon, Gerry Schaflander and Alden John-I son-battling for the fourth, fifth and sixth spots are playing very even tennis.
