With State out for revenge, the Wolverines are going to have to be at their peak if they wish to maintain their win- ning streak. Lineups Uncertain Neither lineup is yet certain and Weir has yet to decide who will play! his number two doubles. It is certain however, that the Hammett-Stille duo will start at the one slot and the singles lineup will probably be the one which has been used all sea- son. For State it will probably be Captain Beeman, Bill Maxwell, and Kline in the top three singles brack- ets.

These will undoubtedly be Bill Stew- art and Bill Courtright who will be playing in the places of "Hollywood" Fife and senior Dave Osler. Bill Stewart To Play Monday afternoon the two Bills- Courtright and Stewart-played off an eighteen hole round to determine their positions. The match was de- cided on the eighteenth green when Courtright needed only to sink an eight foot putt to card an eagle three and tie the count. He missed, and with it went the honor of playing fourth for the varsity this weekend. . Captain Leidy gave proof that he is definitely an improved golfer when he shot a two under par 70 in prac- tice yesterday, while Ben Smith card- ed a 71 on Monday. With two more days in which to practice before they leave Friday morning, the tra- veling squad should be in top shape for their first Big Ten match of the season. FIRST COLUMNS are like last columns. The writer, whoever he may be, doesn't want to saturate he type with sentiment or over- flood the lines with wordy pictures of his mingled emotions. And yet few are the columnists who can re- refrain from doing just that in their first and final efforts. We aren't going to try to be dif- ferent in that respect. Our last stint of THE BENCHCOMBER will prob- ably be as disjointed with conflicting feelings as this, our first column, despite the year of experience that will lie between the two.- Somehow, we can't help but feel sentimental. Three years of en- joyable and hard work have left an impression which will never be forgotten, and which we never want to forget. They have been years full of surprise and anxiety, fulfilled hopes and disappoint- ments, successes and dismal fail- ures, praise and deserving criti- cisms. In short, they have been the greatest cumulative part of our college life, and now that we have finally reached the goal for which those years have molded us, we can't forget them. BUT MOST FIRMLY fixed in our memory are those faces and per- sonalities with whom we worked and who guided us through those three' years. Behind those faces and per- sonalities lie individuals and associ- ations too rich in experience and advice, forming a bond too strong not to deserve memory and mention. There was genial Herb Lev, who was in charge of us during our freshman period. Then came Don Wirtchafter and his staff composed of Hal Wilson, Art Hill, Woody Block, Norm Miller, Gene Gribbroek and Hoe Seltzer. All of them were ever willing to aid with valuable advice and equally valuable criticism. For And most memorable is this last year under the leadership of our predecessor, Hal Wilson. To you, Hal, we sincerely say gnat we hope we can do half the job that you did. We will forever be indebted to you for all you have taught us and for all the enjoyment you have caused us. Your ideais of fairness and justice will always he a pin- nacle for us to attain. Not to be forgotten are the men with whom we worked on an equal plane during the past year-Mike Dann, Dick Simon, Bob Stahl, Hoe Seltzer and Stan Clamage. The wealth of friendship which they represent, we wish never to lose. THROUGHOUT the coming year we shall try to practice all of the axioms we have been taught. Both Mike Dann, associate sports editor, and the writer of this column shall strive to maintain the friendly rela- tionships which have been so well established with the coaching staff. No university can boast of a better- rounded staff, and to its members we offer a sincere appreciation of being privileged to serve them and to know them. Our policy on the sports page shall be to present those things which we believe you, the reader, want to see there. Our aim in the columns shall be to print those things which we feel belong there, from the standpoint of news and interest value. We heartily invite any criticism that you may have to offer on the page play and column items. It is our job to publish sports for the benefit of the reader and Michigan athletics in gen- eral, and we earnestly desire your comments.

This dual meet will mark the first and only home outdoor appearance of Varsity Coach Ken Doherty's Michigan track and field forces this season. Out For Twelfth Straight A victory Saturday will make it twelve straight over the visiting Illini, a streak that started back in 1930. The Wolverines have topped the Illini seventeen times in twenty-four dual meets. If their showing at Des. Moines in the Relays is any criterion, the Maize and Blue cindermen should present a formidable front against Illinois. Few Michigan fans realize that the Wolverines would have copped a first-place tie with Ohio State at Drake had the Butler Relay scoring system been used. This is a definite indication of the Maize and Blue's all-around power and balance. Varsity Approaches Peak There is no doubt that the Michi- gan men are approaching the peak of their outdoor conditioning, as evi- denced at Drake when eleven of the trackmen chalked up the top per- formances of their careers. Outstanding was the :47.5 quarter of "Hose Nose" Bob Ufer in the sprint medley in which the Maize and Blue set a new Michigan record of 3:23.9. Captain Al Piel and sophomore Lenny Alkon hit 21.5 seconds in the 220- yard dash and smooth-striding Dave Matthews breezed through his fast- est half-mile, 1:53.2.

Yesterday's workout, on the same old Ferry Field practice gridiron, consisted of running through plays, with the emphasis on offense. Most stressed during the afternoon was the blocking in the line, with which the coaches seemed dissatisfied. Backfield Is Strong Biggest news from the spring prac- tices is the apparent depth in the backfield. With most of last year's returning regular backfield lost to the other spring sports, the field is left to freshmen behind the line can- didates, and they are showing up to good advantage. With at least two men in every ball-carrying position as well as two quarterbacks to back up Captain George Ceithaml, who has been do- ing his usual good job throughout the spring, the frosh bid fair to give last year's backfield a run for its money. Wiese Paces Frosh Leading the list of yearlings is full- back Bob Wiese, who in yesterday's scrimmage showed his usual work by driving through for gains consistently. However, Bob is not alone in the line-bucking position. Don Lund of Detroit having shown that he will be in there pitching when the time comes to play for keeps. Halfbacks Bob Chappius and Pat Keefe are the most likely looking passers to be seen, and both can turn on the speed on occasion, Chap- pius getting away for long gains sev- eral times yesterday, and Keefe giv- ing a good account of himself. Bill Keenan and Warren Yaap add to the list of halfbacks, with Bob Vernier and George Kiesel filling the quarterback post. However, these last two will probably have to wait a year before having a shot at the varsity post.
