Undoubtedly the most outstanding feature of the meet was the play of Co-Capt. Lawton Hammett: Ham- mett, decidedly on the short end of the odds in his match with the Bad- ger captain, Sherwood Gorenstein, came from behind to score a stun- ning upset, 5-7, 7-5, 6-3. Gorenstein is the same fellow who last year beat Wolverine Captain Jim Tobin and in the Conference meet lost in the finals to Seymour Greenberg only after ex- tending him to three deuce sets.- Hammett Is Hot Hammett played probably the best tennis in his life today in copping the number one singles. He con- stantly forced the play with hard ANTIQUE SHOW TODAY MASON IC HALL 327 So. Fourth Ave. smashes and a strong net game. Oc- casional drop shots and lobs caught Gorenstein flat-footed and his deep drives from the baseline were very effective. If today's play is any cri- terion Hammett will give GreenbergI plenty of trouble when they meet later in the season. The number two singles typified the play of the afternoon in which the Wolverines were only twice extended to three sets. Jim Porter had little trouble disposing of the second-best the Badgers could offer, Don Bee- mis, 6-2, 6-2. Stille Has Trouble In the third bracket Co-Capt. Wayne Stille came up with a stub- born foe in Bob Bruce who carried him to 6-4, and 8-6, before suc- cumbing. Tom Gamon nosed out Armie Schudson, 4-6, 6-0, 6-1. Schaflander got his first victory of the season with a 6-4, 6-2 triumph over Chet Barrand and "Jinx" Johnson, steadier and cagier than ever, took the measure of John Davis by the same score. Coach Weir's switching of the doubles' combination worked very satisfactorily. Hammett and Stille won easily in the number one slot, 6-3, 6-0, while Porter and Schaf- lander raced through their number two match. 6-0, 6-2. In the third doubles Gamon and Johnson showed that they are still the class of the Conference by defeating their foes, 6-4, 6-4, to remain undefeated. Tomorrow Michigan faces an Illi- nois team that barely lost to thel powerful Notre Dame squad, 5-4. Varsity Starts Big Ten Title. Defense Here Boimn Or Fisin an To Hurl In Conference Opener Against Boilerim akers (Continued from Page 1) gan he gave up one lone hit in the three innings he worked. None of the teams Boim or Fish- man faced were up to Big Ten cali- ber, so their showing against Purdue will be their first real test of the season. Michigan apparently hasn't lost any of that batting power that was so annoying to Conference pitchers last year, because eight Wolverines are hiting .300 or better. Leading the Wolverine batting at- tack is sophomore Don Robinson. The sparkling shortstop is hitting the sen-' sational average of .600 and from the way he's been going lately he'll have that percentage when the season is over. Catcher Walt Smith of the Boiler- makers is the heaviest hitter on the Purdue club with an average of .500. Wolverine George Harms and Smith are called by most Big Ten coaches the best back stoppers in the Con- ference. Fisher put the Varsity through lengthy batting and fielding drills yesterday afternoon in an effort to see that the boys take as much ad- vantage of the recent warm weather as possible. Purdue has played eight games this season, winning five and losing three. Their latest triumph was a 10-6 victory over Wabash. * I * * THIE JINEU'S Cinder Season Gets Underway In Annual Meet At Des Moines AMERICAN LEAGUE, (Continued from Page 1) for the Penn Relays at Philadelphia today and tomorrow. Much of the Wolverine track fans' interest will center around the mile relay event, with Michigan's quartet standing a very good chance of up- setting the dope sheets by sweeping to a win over its favored opponents. The Wolverin baton-passing quar- tet, composed of Buel Morley, George Pettersen, Al Thomas, and Bob Ufer, copped the Big Ten indoor mile relay title in the Conference champion- ships last month with a fast 3:22 clocking, but will be encountering faster opposition at Drake than it faced in the Big Ten meet. Aggies Threaten The 'Oklahoma Aggies, competing in the Kansas Relays last Saturday, ran home with the mile-relay title, turning in a time of 3:21.2. Michi- gan, with Johnny Kautz running the second leg in place of Pettersen, bet- tereJ this mark by two-tenths of a second during the indoor season when the quartet finished ahead of the fighting Irish to hang up a new f.Iriser ejeies Tut He Will Go To Navy Soon Out of the vast world of rumor, speculation and doubt came another story yesterday concerning the im- mediate departure of Coach Fritz Crisler, Wolverine football mentor, for duty at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. According to this unfounded tale, Crisler and backfield coach Earl Mar- tineau were to leave today to take up the grid tutoring chores at the Illinois Naval plant. But Crisler him- self spiked the rumor with a terse laugh and a brief statement. Said the molder of Michigan grid- men, "You can mark that down as another idle rumor. If I were to leave tomorrow, I certainly would have made plans before this." Which I is just another way of saying that whether or not Crisler will be here or at Great Lakes next fall is still an undecided issue. 10A.M.-10 Admission fincl.

Kautz will prob- ably be called on to run in the two- mile and four-mile relays over this week-end, however, so that much of Michigan's chances for victory de- pend on what men Doherty selects to comprise each relay team. Something new will be added for the Wolverines in today's Drake meet when they take part in the shuttle relay, a high-hurdle event, with each member of the four-man crew run- ning the 120-yard course. Never hav- ing had four high-hurdlers of suf- ficient ability in the past, Michigan has never entered this event before, but today Frank McCarthy, Livius Stroia, Joe Lahey, and Bud Byerley will attempt to add a place in this event to the team score. Individuals Compete Only one Drake Relays title from last year lies in the Wolverine tro- phy-case now and much of the Mich- igan power will be put forth in an effort to retain this four-mile relay crown. With more capable sprinters than distance men on the present squad, however, the Wolverines are expected to make their best showing in the sprint relays today. Besides the baton-passing teams entered in the relay events, several individual stars will also be compet- ing under the Michigan banner today. George Ostroot will get his first trials of the year at discus-throwing, as well as taking care of his usual stint in the shot put. McCarthy, the Wol- verines' most versatile star, is entered in the 120-yard high hurdles, the broad jump, and the high jump. Johnny Wise will get his big chance in the javelin throw, and Bob Segula is slated to uphold the Michigan pole-vaulting activities. Football Ticket Price Changed $2.50 General Admission Is Home Game Charge Adoption of a uniform ticket price of $2.50 plus federal tax per game for all except box seats in the huge Michigan stadium was announced yesterday by H. O, Crisler, Director of Athletics. If there is no change in the tax, single game tickets will sell for $2.75 and box seats will go on sale at $3.00 plus tax. This new ticket price was approved by the Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics. Season tickets for all seven home games will sell for $15.40 each. The second type of season tickets to go on sale, for the five games against college foes but not including the battles with the two service elevens from Great Lakes and Iowa, will be sold for $11.00. Ticket orders will be accepted on and after August 1, Crisler said. Michigan's 1942 home schedule in- cludes Great Lakes, Sept. 26; Michi- gan State, Oct. 3; Iowa Naval Cadets, Oct. 10; Northwestern, Oct. 17; Illi- nois, Oct. 31; Harvard, Nov. 7; and Iowa, Nov. 28. Crisler also anounced that service men in the nation's armed forces who appear at the stadium in uni- form will be admitted to each game for 50 cents plus tax. This is similar to the policy followed here last year when Michigan led the nation's col- leges in offering a special ticket price for service men.
