THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAC T lI arsity Nine Plays Broncos; Lnksmen Lose To Ohio State v _ Wolverines To Seek Revenge Against Troublesome Broncos (Continued from Page 1) winners. Besides Overmire, the Broncos lost Al Karchunas, short- stop, one of the most capable in- fielders in the state last year. Jerome "Curley" Anderson will probably start on the mound for the Broncos. Last year "Curley" won five games and lost two, and so far this year has turned in several ex- cellent performances. Western Michigan was considered one of the best teams in the country in 1941 and their 21 wins out of 25 games certainly substantiates that claim. Mickey Fishman and Bill Cain will share the mound duties for Michigan while George Harms will assume his usual duties behind the plate. .500 So Far Besides defeating Michigan twice last year the Broncos gained wins over Iowa, Southern California and Notre Dame. So far this season Western Michi- gan has lost two games and won two for a .500 average. Fisher was greatly pleased with the heavy hitting of the Michigan nine during their first four games but is still very much in doubt about his moundstaff. Irv. "Pro" Boim, who is supposed to be the Varsity's number one pitcher, didn't show enough control against Navy or Georgetown to fulfill pre- season expectations. Surprise hurler so far this season is Bill Cain who limited Maryland to five scattered hits. The promis- ing sophomore has developed an excellent curve ball and good control which should enable him to chalk up many more victories before the sea- son is over. Robinson All Right Now Don Robinson, the Wolverine short- stop, is fully recovered from a leg injury he sustained in the Maryland game and will be ready to carry on his consistent hitting against West- ern Michigan. The scrappy little sophomore is the Varsity's leading hitter with the astounding average of .571. Fence busting honors for the southern trip were grabbed by Paul White. The husky left fielder helped himself to three home runs and sev- eral other extra base hits to give himself a percentage of .375. Michigan's important Big Ten Simon Through In Ring Abe Simon, who can boast .of go- ing 13 rounds on one occasion and six on another with Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis, announced Monday that he was through with boxing. Weir Pleased With Showing Of Net Squad Coach Leroy Weir was quite pleased over the work his netters turned in over the past week-end, despite the fact that they had to be content with an even split, winning from Michi- gan State on Thursday and losing to Notre Dame on Saturday. "The boys only had a chance to practice outside four or five times before the opening match with State," said the net mentor, "and they showed up quite well. Of course, they hadn't hit their mid-season form yet and taking all factors into con- sideration, I think they played good tennis, especially against Notre Dame." And speaking of the Irish, Weir continued, "That Canale is one of the smartest collegiate players I've ever seen. Hammett (Michigan's co- captain and top singles player) put up a good battle, but Canale was just too smart for him." Weir gave the team a day of rest yesterday, but plans to put the net- ters through a stiff drill today in preparation for the weekend road trip when the Maize and Blue will face Wisconsin, Illinois and Purdue on successive days. BASELINE PATTER: Gerry Schaf- lander just can't seem to get under way this season . . . his timing has been slightly off and his usually steady net play hasn't been up to par ... however, he did show signs of getting both back in the number one doubles battle against the Irish which he and co-captain Wayne Stille lost in three well-played sets. Dan Canale, Notre Dame cap- : tam, showed he is just as good a sport as he is a player ... he and Lawt Hammett kept the spectators on the edge of their seats during their singles match by making beautiful placements and drop- shots ... and after the Wolverine netter had neatly dropped one over the net and caught Canale flat- footed, the Irish leader remarked, "A track man couldn't have even gotten that shot. Nice going, Lawt." Buckeyes Take Close Match; Smith Wins Medalist Honors Intramural Sport Shots By JACK FLAGLER (Special to The Daily) COLUMBUS, O., April 20.--Ohio State University's golf team opened its season today by defeating Michi- gan for the first time in 11 years. The Scarlet and Gray aggregation scored 20/2 points to the Wolverines 15%. It was back in 1931 that the Buck- eyes won their last dual meet from the Maize and Blue. That was the year that Captain Bob Kepler won from Michigan's great Johnny Fisch- er 7 and 6 to give Ohio State victory. Today, as coach of the Buckeye linksmen, it was this same Bob Kep- ler who saw his team again surge through to victory to break the long jinx. Smith Takes Medal Honor Pacing the Wolverines with an 80-72-152 for 36 holes was Ben Smith who won medal honors for the match. Johnny Steckle, who was elected captain a few minutes before the match started, was low man for the Ohioans, shooting 153. It was in the morning's doubles matches that the Buckeyes picked up the tallies that proved to be the mar- gin of victory. Scoring 101/ points to Michigan's 1 , Ohio State liter- ally swamped their opponents. Playing number one in the best ball matches, Smith and Bob Fife were beaten by Stickle and Billy Gil- bert, 3-0. Chan Simonds and Dave Osler picked up point while losing to Buckeyes Bill Lorms and Jack Krisko. In the third position John Kampfer and Joe Reinhart won over Captain John Leidy and Bill Ludolph, 2-1, while Bill Stewart and Fred Brewer lost to Ted Sulser and Pete Nunn by a socer of 3-0. Simonds Cards 74 In the singles matches Smith scored the best 18 hole round by carding a par 72 to completely over- whelm former Conference champion Gilbert who shot an 83. Simonds, playing number two for the Wolver- ines, carded an exceptionally good 74 to beat Kisko, who scored a 75, 2-1. In the third match, Fife's 81 wasn't good enough to beat Steckle's 77 and the Wolverine lost, 3-0. Osler carded an 80 to pick up 2 A week and a half of activity has found the spring sports program moving but , slowly, very slowly, thanks to weather conditions and a subsequent disarrangement of sched- ules which necessitates time-wasting postponements, rematches, and so forth. However, despite all obstacles Earl Riskey and his capable I-M assistants have done their best to keep the program as much up to date. as possible and so far at least all first round games have been taken care of. Coincidentally and curiously, the most outstanding feats of the dia- mond division have been a flock of airtight, two hit pitching per- formances. Ned Atkins, chucking for the powerful Phi Delt outfit in the Greek league has turned in two of these jobs, allowing Phi Kappa Sigma -and Theta Delta Chi only two base markers apiece. In the Independent loop, the Rams' Kolesar held the Wolverines to two bare singles last Monday while Thursday found Ralph Renwick of Delta Sigma Delta in the profes-, sional fraternity bracket holding Alpha Rho Sigma to a lone pair. The fraternity league is the only' one so far to go well beyond their opening rounds, and to all appear- ances the race will be a strictly cutthroat affair. Only five teams have been able to come though with two straight wins: Kappa Nu, Pi Lambda Alpha, Theta Chi, Phi Sigma Kap- pa and Phi Delta Theta. Another phase of the spring sports program was ushered in yesterday afternoon and an in- auspicious entrance it was. Of the five, tennis matches originally scheduled, only one was actually and fully played off. One other was won by forfeit and the. rest were rescheduled for a later date. In the lone opener of the day, Sig- ma Chi turned back a strong bid by Phi Sigma Delta to win, 3-2. Tom Preston was outstanding net- ter of the day, turning back his opponent in no trouble at all style, 6-0, 6-0. Chi Psi won from Delta Kappa Epsilon on a forfeit. Putting an out-season note in the proceedings comes the announce- ment of the annual professional fra- ternity swimming meet to be held at 8:30 tonight in the I-M pool. Add slugfests of the current dia- mond season - Allen-Rumsey's 27-13 thumping of Michigan House last Saturday. The game would ordinarily have been called at the 20 run mark but it seems there was a dearth of officials at the time so the boys played on and on into the afternoon with results apparent. BILL CAIN . . .makes good start games start this weekend when Pur- due comes to town, and Fisher is doing everything in his power to have the boys in perfect shape for thoseI games.ps Boim, who complained of a sore arm yesterday, will not make the trip to Kalamazoo but instead will take a few days off to rest up for the Boilermaker series. Rookie Gives White Sox 3-1 VictoryOver Tigers CHICAGO, April 20. - 4iP)- Rookie Harry Sketchley's double that drove in two first inning runs gave Johnny Rigney and the Chicago White Sox a 3 to 1 decision over Detroit's Paul Trout in a pitchers' duel here today. Sketchley, U.C.L.A. lad who leaped directly from the campus into a big league lineup when outfielder Taft Wright was injured, followed singles by Wally Moses and Joe Kuhel with his extra base blow.

The Wolverines will throw six re- lay teams into the maelstrom of big- time competition at the Des Moines festival, with entrants also listed in most of the individual events. And with such an array of powerful op- ponents lined up ,against them in every event of the two-day meet, the Michigan thinclads are hoping to make at least as good a showing as they did last year. Only One First Place For last year, despite the fact that they brought only one first-place trophy back to Ann Arbor, the Wol- verine cindermen propably made a better all-around showing of team balance than any of the aggregations which placed above them as far as total points were concerned. Besides a surprising victory in the four-mile relay, in which they were very de- cided pre-meet underdog, the Wol- verines also gained runner-up honors in both the half-mile and two-mile relays, in addition to which Bob Hook took third place in the shot put and Karl Wisner ran fourth in the open two-mile run. First Time Trials With his charges already having had several weeks of open-air train- ing under their belts, Coach Do- herty held his first outdoor time tri- als of the season last Saturday in an effort to select the men who will rep- resent Michigan in this year's Drake Relays. Hampered by cold weather and a strong wind, however, the thin- i clad aspirants turned in very un- Jordan And Balyeat TrainingFor Navy Two former Michigan athletes, Forrest "Butch" Jordan and Phil Balyeat, left Sunday for a month's intensive training at Annapolis be- fore accepting commissions in the Navy. Jordan is expected to serve under Lt. Cliff Keen, former "Wolverine wrestling coach, who is now in the Navy conditioning school at the University of Georgia. BEN SMITI points when his opponent Reinhart took one more stroke for the 18 holes. Captain John Leidy was slightly off, form, shooting an 83sandalost 3-0 when Buckeye Lorms shot an 80. In the sixth position, Ohioan Kampfer carded an 82 to better Ludolph by one stroke which gave Ohio State an additional two points. Stewart's 81 was good enough for 3 points as his opponent Sulser shot an 84, while in the final match Phil Marcellus picked up another 3 points by shooting an 86 as Nunn scored a very high 93. Coach, Lient. Clifford Keen In A.nn Arbor Airy day this week you may happen to see about town a very tanned, lean jawed gent, immaculate in the dress uniform of a lieutenant first class of the U.S. Navy, and if you see him say hello. Cliff Keen is back in town. A month ago Cliff was the Michi- gan wrestling coach but today he is a one man propaganda unit in favor of the new intensive physical train- ing curriculum for Navy-trained fli- ers. Lieutenant Keen likes his job and makes no bones about telling everybody so. Having completed the four week training program at Annapolis, Cliff is now home on a six-day leave of absence before reporting to the Uni- versity of Georgia to commence his active function as boss of the wrest- ling department in the Navy unit recently incorporated there. The other sports in which a degree of proficiency is required of all men being trained as Navy pilots at either Iowa, Georgia, North Carolina or St. Mary's are boxing, swimming, gym- nastics, track, football, basketball and soccer. Cliff is very glad he was coach of such a tough racket as wrestling up here because it kept him in shape to be able to go through his very stringent training course with a smile. Out of bed at 6 a.m., breakfast, inspection, half hour of high speed calisthenics, an hour's worth of spe- cialized drill in each of the eight basic sports above named, and an hour's lecture on what makes a navy a navy. That's the morning menu and the afternoon runs along similar but ruggeder lines. The Navy reasons very simply in this respect. If they expect rough, tough and durable physical specimens to come out of this revolutionary new physical train- ing set-up, why the guys who do the training have got to be able to set a good example. Now we can't say just how good an %xample Cliff Keen will set. But he'll bend your ear for hours raving about this new program he's an in- tegral part of. Which is a very good sign.
