Varsity Gets Two Hits

scored on the play standing up.
Harms then hit a grounder to the
shortstop, but the first baseman
missed the throw for an error. Boor
crossed home with Michigan's third
and last run as Harms went to sec-
ond. After Fishman had struck out,
Davey Nelson hit into a double play.
Notre Dame scored once in the
sixth and once in the eighth for their
runs. In the sixth a walk, a fluke
single and a wild pitch was good for
one counter. In the eighth inning
after Bud Chamberlain and Don
Robinson had combined on a marvel-
ous play to toss out the pitcher,
George Sobek doubled and came
home on Buster Hiller's single.
Highlights of the game: Boor,
Michigan's sophomore first sacker,
was injured in the sixth frame when
he pulled the muscles in his right
knee coming into third base. He had
to be helped from the field and was
replaced by Art Bergensen. It is
not certain yet whether he will be
ready for the series at Indiana this
weekend or not.
A glance .at the box score of yes-
terday's fray reveals the amazing fact
that Michigan batters were creditedj
with only 24 official times at bat.
This was because there were so few
hits and so many walks.
Airmen from Selfridge Fielden-
tertained the crowd in the early in-
nings of the game with their stunts
and dives over-the diamond. It all
looked nice-since they had no
bombs.
The Wolverines leave at 3 p.m. to-
day for Bloomington, Ind., where they

HELLO!
The Michigan Football Players
Protective Association held its week-
ly meeting last Saturday during the
Purdue game at its headquarters-the
left field bleachers of the Ferry Field
diamond.
This benevolent society is made
up of conseientious Wolverine grid
coaches interested in seeing that
Varsity grid stars who have tem-
porarily transferred their allegi -
ance to Ray Fisher's nine do not
suffer any mistreatment at the
hands of more aggressive baseball
athletes.
Headed by genial Wally Weber,
ably assisted by Bennie Oosterbaan,
Earl Martineau and a fellow by the
name of Fritz Ci'isler, the group
seemed to have the afternoon's festiv-
ities well in hand. Even their more
anemic proteges like Don Boor and
Paul White were withstanding in
good fashion the tribulations of the
game.
" NERGETIC Weber was bored byI
the inactivity and decorum of
the meeting so he slyly injected
new life into the gathering by say-
ing, "It's too bad Michigan doesn't
have any Big Legue prospects
this year."
"You're- off your beam," Ooster-
baan snapped back. "White. Robin-
son and Chamberlain are slated for
the 'Big Show' or I'm a 'monkey's
uncle'."
Thereupon Crisler pointed out that
neither Wally or Bennie could tell a
baseball player from one of Weir's
netters let alone who was a potential
star in the Major Circuit.
lha auhiia o fh affr
baseball grapevine going at top speed,
lauding his ability as a hitter.
The fleet-footed shortstop has ev-
ery opposing third baseman standing
on his neck waiting for a bunt, but
"Robby" continues to beat them out.
Don's main defect so far is a poor
throwing arm, but at the rate he is
improving that fault will be correct-
ed in the very near future. Right
now, Robinson is leading the Wol-
verines in batting with a .500 per-
cen tage.
Fisher says, "Robinson is the most
improved ball player on the squad,
he learns fast and isn't afraid to
work. That's a combination that
can't help but make a great athlete."
OOSTERBAAN'S third nomina-
tion to the "Big Show," Paul
White, is consistently being com-
pared to Dick Wakefield. This is
unfortunate for Paul because
Wakefield is one of the greatest
hitters college baseball has pro-
duced in the last 10 years. The
50,000 dollar star could hit to any
field with equal success and was a
more natural batter than Paul.
Wakefield had a big jump on
White for he had received the fin-
est of training from his dad who
was an ex-big league ball player.
White is a better fielder and base
runner than Wakefield was and has
just as good an arm. But ball play-
ers who are good fielders are a dime
a dozen in the country today and un-
less he continues to improve at the
plate he will never see a 5,000 dollar
contract much less one for 50,000.
Ray Stites, Western Michigan
coach, did say, however, "I would
like to keep White around just to
show my boys what a real ball player
looks like."

A power-laden Illinois track crew
may prove to be the toughest hurdle
of Michigan's 1942 outdoor campaign
when the two teams clash Saturday
afternoon at Ferry Field.
Boasting seven indoor Conference
place-winners, the Illini are out to
break the Wolverines' eleven-year
winning streak in their dual meet
series. Stacked against this ambi-
tion is the top performance of the
Maize and Blue at the Drake Relays.
This combination promises an in-
teresting meet.
Listed in the 1942 indoor Confer -
ence records are Bob Rehberg, third
in the mile and fourth in the half;
Don Olsen, third in the high hurdles
and second in the lows; Bob Kelley,
fourth in the quarter and fifth in
the half-mile; Don Gladding and
Clarence Dunn, second and fourth
in the two-mile run, respectively, and
Maurie Gould and Bill Lewis, third
and fourth in the running broad
jump.
Rehberg is definitely a great run-
ner and should come through with a
first in the mile, with teammate Bob
Seib a probable second. And Reh-
berg's entry in the 880-yard run por-
tends trouble for Michigan's half-
milers.
Olsen, Illinois' timber-topping spe-
cialist, is second only to Ohio State's
Bob Wright and has his eye on a first
in both hurdle events. Kelly may
make things interesting for "Hose
Nose" Bob Ufer in the quarter and
should add points in the half.
In the field Illinois is banking on
Gould and Lewis, who have both
cleared 24 feet in the broad jump this
year. Three high jumpers, Herbie
Matter, Charlie Edwards and Bob
Starck, have topped 6 feet 3 inches.
Outside of these two field events the
Illini are about average strength.
Varsity Coach Ken Doherty's Wol-
verines appear invincible in the short
sprints with Captain Al Piel, Al
Thomas, Lenny Alkon and Chuck
Donahey. And burly George Ostroot
has the inside track in the shot put
and discus over the Illinois entries,
Paul Mail and Ken Brown. Matter
and Wolverine Bob Segula are well-
matched in the pole vault as both
clear 12 feet consistently.
Despite the formidable appearance
of the invaders, Coach Doherty is re-
lying on the balance of the Maize and
Blue cinder squad, which was so
apparent in thehDrakeRelays. A
pre-meet dope sheet gives the Wol-
verines a close victory over the Illini.
Near-perfect weather conditions
have given Doherty a" good oppor-
tunity to whip his squad into top
condition. Only Buel Morley, quar-
ter-miler who injured his leg at
Drake, is slated to be out of action.
Camilli Homers In Ninth
As Dodgers Down Redls
CINCINNATI, April 29. -UP)- The .
Brooklyn Dodgers pulled a victory
over the Cincinnati Reds out of the
fire today, tying the score on a home
run by Dolph Camilli after two were
out in the ninth and bustling three
runs across in the tenth for a 5 to
2 verdict.
The Reds were held to four hits but
Frank McCormick led off the second
inning with his fourth homer of the
year. Then Kirby Higbe walked
Frank Secory, and in attempting to
catch him off base, made a wild
throw to let Secory reach third.

indicate the true story. Schaflander
was continually on the offensive.
Tom Gamon evened up a score
when he beat Roger Cessna, 6-3, 6-4.
In their previous meeting Cessna had
won but this time he was no match
for Gamon. Gamon played some of
his best tennis of the year in winning.
As usual Jinx Johnson won his match
this time at the expense of Bill Heil.
The score was 6-8, 6-2, 6-2.
The doubles saw a continuation of
the excellent varsity play. In the
one bracket Hammett and Stille
tangled with Beeman and Maxwell
and won one of the best played
matches of the day, 9-7, 4-6, and 6-2.
Coach Weir tried yet another series of
doubles combinations today and both
worked out quite satisfactorily. Por-
ter and Gamon raced through Max-
well and Hoover in a short space of
time to win, 6-4, 6-1.
In the final doubles match Schaf-
lander and Jim Bourquin, making his
first start for the varsity this year,
finished off the - day with a Ripley
touch. Down one set, with the score
5-4 against them in the second, and
behind 40-love in the tenth game,
Schaflander and Bourquin fought off
five match points to win the second
set, 7-5, and then went on to 'Win
the third and deciding set easily, 6-2.

Yost Observes
71stBirthday
Famous Athletic Director
Retired OneYear Today
Fielding H. Yost is 71 years old
today.
It's a year now since the coach re-
tired from his post as Director of
Athletics at Michigan, and it's more
than a year since the famous Testi-
monial Dinner was given in his honor
on October 19,1940. Many men fade
from the public eye upon retirement,
but Yost is still as energetic as ever.
Yost first gained fame for his
famous point-a-minute teams of the
early 1900's. His Wolverine team of
1901 defeated Stanford in the first
Rose Bowl game, 49 to 0, with Willie
Hesten leading the ravaging Michi-
gan team.
As Director of Athletics Yost
gained further fame as the creator
of the famous $4,000,000 athletic
plant at Ferry Field. His slogan was
and still is "athletics for all." With
this -in view he formed the outstand-
ing athletic plant in the nation,
which includes the Intramural Build-
ing, Yost Field House, and, in fact,
all the sports facilities at Ferry Field.
For these achievements Yost is
known to the world.
But, today on his 71st birthday,'
most Michigan men know him for the
friendship and advice that he has
given to every young athlete. Al-
though he is officially retired from
active participation, every Michigan
man still looks to "Hurry-up" Yost
for support and encouragement. To
them, he is still the big gun of in-
spiration behind Michigan athletics.
