Chamberlain's Timely Homerun With Bases Full Clinches Game (Continued from Page 1) man, hit a hot grounder through Chamberlain's legs and the usually reliable Whitey Holman opened the same gate when the ball came into left field, with the result that Metzger reached third. The situation was alleviated when Metzger was forced at the plate a moment later. However, Bob Jenk- ins, who reached second on the play to the plate, scored on a single to give the Broncos a 1-0 lead. Michigan duplicated their generosity of the fourth inning by giving Western Michigan another unearned run in the fifth frame. A combina- tion of two walks and a wild throw to first gave the Broncos their second run, by the end of the fifth inning. The game seemed on ice for Western Michigan by the time the eighth inning rolled around. Anderson had been keeping the Wolverine bats strangely silent and there were no signs that he would let up during the last two innings. But after George Harms had flied to center, Anderson suddenly became very wild. He hit Bill Cartmill, who was batting for Fish- man, on the neck. After Nelson reached first on an error, Anderson walked Holman to fill the bases. The Broncos' infield was backed up for a double play, but all in vain, as Don Robinson walked, forcing in Cartmill with the Wolverines' first score of the game. Anderson was able to get two strikes on Chamberlain but when he tried to sneak the third one across, the fence-busting third baseman hit his long home run. With the scoreZ-2 going into the last half of the ninth, the Broncos put on a rally that came close to tying up the ball game.. The Game Highlights: Don Robinson came up with a sparkling back- handed stop in the ninth inning to pull Dick Savage out of a real hole . . . Big league scouts are starting to camp on Paul White's trail whever the big fellow goes now . . . He hasn't received any offers yet but Michigan base- ball fans can be sure that day is not far off . . . After Savage let two men on in the last inning Fisher was really worried . . . the Vermont Wizard had used every one of the pitchers he had taken with him earlier in the game Golfers Reveal Great Promise Even In Defeat By BUD LOW Although far from mid-season form, the Wolverine golfers learned much while swallowing the bitter pill of experience when they took it on the chin from both Kentucky and Ohio State over the past weekend. Coach Ray Courtright's charges went down to anything but an ig- nominious defeat at the hands of two teams who have had the benefit of a great deal more practice. This is not meant to provide an alibi for the team-on the contrary, it is meant to bring out the fact that the Varsity shows great promise of better things to come later in the season. Opponents Had More Practice Both Kentucky and the Buckeyes have been out on the fairways for a good many more weeks now, while Michigan has had to sit back and wait for warmer weather. Now that Ann Arbor has finally blossomed forth into spring, the Wolverines should improve as the weeks go by. One thing that definitely has to be corrected before the next match, which by the way is with Michigan State at East Lansing this coming Saturday, is the definite letdown that each of the players experienced in the best ball matches at Columbus. Golfers Wear Pajamas An interesting high light of the Buckeye match was the fact that the Michigan golfers wore their pa- jamas underneath their regular golf attire. This was due, not to any superstitions fostered by any mem- ber of the squad, but because of the penetrating, cold winds. Particular bright spots of the southern trip were Ben Smith's 75 at Kentucky and 72 at Columbus, in addition to Chan Simonds excep- tionally good 75 and 74, respectively. Both carded some near sensational scores considering that they played on two strange courses under ex- tremely unfavorable climatic condi- tions. Naval Team To Play Cubs GREAT LAKES. Ill.. April 21.-(A -The U.S. Naval Training Station baseball team, coached by Lt. Gordon "Mickey" Cochrane. will encounter its first major league opponent May 4, meeting the Chicago Cubs at Great Lakes, it was announced today. II Netters Depart For Road Tilts Six-Man Team Will Face Badgers, Illini, Purdue By DICK SIMON Michigan's tennis team takes to the road at 1:37 p.m. today for a series of three matches on foreign courts, beginning tomorrow with Wisconsin at Evanston, Ill. On Friday the net- ters will face Illinois at Champaign, Ill., and Saturday they meet Purdue at Lafayette. These three matches are very im- portant as far as the Conference is concerned, since the seedings for the Big Ten meet in Columbus, May 14, 15 and 16 are determined by the number of victories each man scores in his own bracket in Conference competition. Last year five of, the six singles players and two of the three doubles teams got top seedings, when the Wolverines won their first Conference tennis crown. Coach Leroy Weir put the six-man team; which he is taking on the trip, through an all-afternoon workout. And as a result, the net mentor has switched his doubles lineup some- what. Instead of Co-Capt. Wayne Stille and Gerry Schaflander playing as the number one duo and Co-Capt. Lawton Hammett and Jim Porter as the second team, Stille and Ham- mett have paired off, while Porter and Schaflander worked as a unit. During yesterday's practice, Weir matched the two new combinations and they went at it tooth-and-nail. When the smoke had cleared away, the co-captains had dropped a three set battle, but nevertheless had shown up quite well considering it was the first time they had played together. After this match, Weir said he would probably start the team lead- ers at one doubles and Porter and Schaflander in the second spot, but that he would keep his singles lineup intact. Those making the trip include Hammett, Stille, Porter, Schaflander, Tom Gamon and Alden Johnson. Former Grid Star Returns On Furlough Tall, smiling, likeable Harlin "Whit- ey" Fraumann, the man who covered one of the end positions for the Wol- verines last fall, came back to Ann Arbor in a Navy uniform yesterday. Fraumann, who along with former wrestling coach Cliff Keen, and Bob Flora, tackle last season, has com- pleted a month's training at An- napolis under the direction of Major Tom Hamilton, is now a full-fledged ensign and is on furlough. He stated that he will be used as an instructor, in both physical and military school- ing of cadets in the new naval V-5 program. He recently met Don Siegel, a for- mer Wolverine tackle, who is taking post graduate work at Annapolis, and according to Fraumann, Siegel' has really goneplaces of late. The Navy has taken Don around the world, the last stop before arriving in Maryland being Trinidad. Whitey expects to be sent to the University of Iowa to join Bob Flora in the cadet training program, but says that he may be put on a ship at any time. He likes the work and is looking forward toward taking his place in national defense. In The Majors AMERICAN LEAGUE Detroit 4, Chicago 2 New York 10, Philadelphia 4 Cleveland 4, St. Louis 2 Washington at Boston, postponed * i* * NATIONAL LEAGUE St. Louis 8, Cincinnati 0 Pittfziia R O hina9 Choice Of Drake Relay Quartets Puzzles Track Mentor Doherty By BOB STAHL Unlike most other track meets, which always turn into a morass of "angles" as far as pre-meet doping of the outcome is concerned, Michi- gan's outdoor season opener in the Drake Relays Friday and Saturday, presents a morass of question marks to the pre-meet prognosticators. With the meet only three days away, the selection of the men who will make the jaunt to Des Moines still remains a question mark to Coach Doherty. And even after the squad is selected, Doherty will not be certain of which men to enter in each event until he surveys the rest of the field when, he gets to Drake. Many Track Entries The most puzzling question mark which looms before any prognosti- cator, however, lies in the great num- ber of contestants comprising the rest of the field. One of the biggest an- nual round-ups of track talent in the nation, the Drake Relays at- tracted over 1500 contestants last year, and even though the war will undoubtedly cut into the number of entrants this year, the thousands of fans expected to witness the mam- moth festival will still see over 1,000 athletes in action. Naturally, then, anyone trying to dope out the results of the meet would have to take into consideration the entire list of en-, trants. Michigan will find its most puz- zling question marks in the compo- sition of each of the six relay teams which will carry the Maize and Blue colors into the meet, and much of the Wolverines' chances for victory in any event depend on which men run in each event. With most of the power on the Michigan squad cen- tered around the sprints, the Wol- verines' best chances for bringing home a title probably lie in the sprint relays. time recorded by any Wolverine mile relay quartet during the past in- door season was the 3:21 mark which Buel Morley, Johnny Kautz, Al Thomas, and Bob Ufer turned in against Notre Dame to establish a new meet record for the event. With baton-passers also entered in the two-mile and four-mile relays at Drake, however, Coach -Doherty will need Kautz for one of these, so that George Pettersen will probably re- place Kautz for the mile sprint. Bob Ufer, Michigan's ace quarter miler, reported for practice this week with a bad leg, but continued to run during the training sessions. He ran a record breaking 660 yard run in 1:18.6 despite the handicap of the sore leg. According to Coach Doherty, if the soreness persists during the coming weekend, he will not enter tfer in the Drake relays.
