FRIDAY,, MARCH15, 1943 hFim 1,,MICHIGAN- BAILY- PAGETJ*F Big Ten Track Meet Begins Today; Nine Will Play Illinois Buckeye Trackmen Big Favorites To Win Title Fisher Will Start Mickey Fishman At Champaign As Wolverines Fight To Hold First Place (Continued from Page 1) Kautz is another one of the runners who traveled west in the 'much- publicized meet to the Pacific Coast. John runs either the quarter mile or the 880-yard run. During the indoor season this last winter he held down a quarter of the mile relay. Bill Ackerman holds down the gruelling mile and two-mile events. Not a sensational runner, he was still, however, an important link 'in the successes of the varsity cinder squad. Johnny McKean, the last senior, is also a distance man. Michigan isn't the only team to enter seniors in the Big Ten meet. Four champions of the Conference spectacle are returning for the last time to defend their titles. Campbell Kane of Indiana returns to defend his crowns in the, mile and half-mile runs. Bob Wright, Ohio State's sensa- tional hurdler, returns to reclaim his titles in the high and low hurdles. Bob has been going strong in early spring meets and will undoubtedly retain his supremacy in the events. I -IMMEDIATE DELIVERY Stromberg-Carlson Freed-Eis~emnanfn Ansley Dynaphliue RCA Victor RADIO-PHONOGRAPH COMB I NATIONS (Continued from Page 1) against the last place Maroons in Chicago. The Michigan diamond mentor is not as worried about these games as he was last weekend when the nine played Northwestern. In the past week Bud Chamberlain, Davey Nel- son and Captain Harms have snap- ped their batting slumps and are again hitting the ball hard. Also adding to the confidence of Fisher is the sparkling hurling per- formances turned in last week by his two aces, Irv 'Pro' B3oim and Mickey Fishman. They combined to hold the Wildcats to only six hits and two. runs last week. Illini Field Well However, this weekend they will be facing a better team when they take the mound against Coach Walter Roettger's nine. While they have only one .300 batter in the lineup, they have the best fielding average in the Big Ten and also are known to hit with men on the base paths. Although Coach Fisher feels that Michigan should win both games from the Illini, he isn't taking them lightly. He knows that the local boys have been in a slump lately as they have dropped their last five battles and that there isn't anything that they would like to do more than knock Michigan out of the title scramble. Tomorrow Fishman will face Chuck Schiller, a fast-ball pitcher and Boim is slated to meet Charlie Campbell in Saturday's tilt. Schil- ler has a record of four victories and two defeats this season while Camp- bell has won three while dropping four. Illini Hold Edge Illinois is the oniy team in the Big Ten that holds an edge on Michi- gan as it has beaten the Wolverines 22 times and has lost only 19. When the Varsity plays Chicago on Monday Fisher will probably use Bill Cain and Don Smith on the mound with Don Savage, Boim and Fish- man held in reserve. Bob Meyer and Rodney Briggs will pitch for the woe- fully weak Maroons. The Maroons are batting only .162 in eight Conference games and have the second from the lowest fielding average on the ten teams. Coach Fisher can't figure out how the boys from the Midway (-an manage to beat his crew. However, the four games this weekend will be hard on the team, but Michigan is well rested for it. Chi Phi Wins Softball Crown From Phi Delts Williams Downs Fletcher To Take Dorm Title And All-Year Crown By JACK FLAGLER It was field day for the spring in- tramural program yesterday as twor major softball titles were decided. InN the fraternity division Chi Phi pow-1 erhoused their way to a thorough 15-5 thumping of the highly vaunted Phi Delta Theta outfit, while Wil-f liams House cinched the All Year Dorm crown in one of the tightest games of the year against Fletcher Hall, 6-4. The Chi Phi-Phi Delt battle was strictly a nip and tuck affair until the fifth inning when Ned Atkins,r hitherto unbeatable in five straight games, blew high and ended up with a total of 10 walks to his discredit.- Pacing the Chi Phi attack were Jack7 Tate with a homer and two singles, Cliff Strahley with a trio of two bag-7 gers and Ralph Gibert with threek singles. The most spectacular play of the day and one of the highlightsI of the season performed by Jack! Reed who made an amazing running- stumbling catch of a ball batted deept into left field, to quash a budding Phi Delt rally. Atkins got the buck in the first few innings when he walked several men, but managed to hold the runs evenly with the Phi Delt scoring. When Buck Antle, on the mound for Chi Phi, finally silenced the Phi Delt bats midway in the game, the bal- ance went to one side and Atkins was the loser. Andy Marsh got two] hits to lead the attack for the Phi Delts. It was Howie Fisher all thei way for Williams as they nosed their way to victory over a stubborn Flet- cher team. Fisher held his oppon- ents to five hits in the seven innings; he faced them besides driving in three runs. The win was Fisher's fifth straight this year. Fletcher was leading up till the fifth when Williams, led by Fisher and Howie Ideson at the plate, put on a slow-sure rally to overcome the disadvantage and romp home with the game, the title and the All Year crown. By winning the diaiond cham- pionship, Chi Phi also cinched sec- ond place in the All Year standings of the Greek League.

Wolverine Netters Wins Four Seven Matches Weirmen Must Overtake Northwestern And Chicago To Annex Big Ten Championship At Evanston Golfers To Meet Illini Saturday After Week Of Disappointments (Continued from Page 1) their four points today. In the singles Wayne Stille, Gerry Schaflander and Tom Gamon won as Jinx Johnson was the victim of Northwestern's Don Burst in the biggest upset of the day. The doubles victory proved the second major upset of the day ,when Schaflander and Johnson upset the favored duo of Martin and Johansen, Chicago, in the three bracket. Jim Porter and Lawton Hammett, who had missed being seeded last night, ran into two of the toughest men in the tourney in Bobby Jake of Northwestern andi Cal Sawyier of Chicago and lost the only matches of the afternoon for the Wolverines. Stille was paired with a fellow he had beaten just a week ago in Bobby Harbrecht of Ohio State and despite the determined play of the stocky Buckeye, once again came out the decisive winner by a score of 6-4, 6-2. Both players had'their shots working well today and kept each other back by the base-line with deep drives as neither had much success getting up to the net. Stille's back-hand, how- ever, had Harbrecht running, and ac- counted for many saves which the Duke converted into points and coupled with flat drives to corners gave Stille an upper hand which he never relinquished. Gamon climbed all over his oppon- ent, Ken Silgen of Minnesota, in the first set to win 6-1 and though he lost his touch in the second came through to end the match at 7-5. Ga- mon utilized some nice chop strokes and a very effective backhand to force his opponent into many errors and score many more points on place- ments and passing shots. One of the most decisive matches of the day was Schaflander's victory over Chet Barrand of Wisconsin. Gerry,'though not in top form, easily tripped up his Badger opponent in two sets, 6-3, 6-3 Johnson's match was a heart- breaker for Jinx, the heavy favorite to win at six, and put a severe crimp in the Wolverines' chances of retain- ing their title. Unfortunately, Jinx met up with Don Burst, up until to- day an unknown but now favored to win his bracket. Burst was hot to- day and Johnson was not up to his best tennis and the result was a three set victory for Burst, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, Burst used a terrific overhead to slam away point after point. Porter played with a determina- tion which brought cheers from the crowd as he gave Jake a real run for his money and when Porter pulled out the first set, 8-6, it looked as if perhaps an upset was in store. Jake, however, exhibited a superb forehand and serve to come back to win, 7-5,' 6-4. By JO ANN PETERSON Concluding a comparatively un- successful week, which ivas marked by a 24-12 defeat at the hands of Ohio State, and a 71/2-71/2 tie with Michigan* State, the golf team will meet the Illini squad in a match to be held Saturday morning and after- noon, May 16. The match is the final one which the golfers play before the all-important Big Ten Meet which will be held here next Monday- and Tuesday. Ben Smith who played in the Ohio State match and was able to tie former Conference champ Billy Gil- bert, 77-77, even with his trouble- some shoulder, didn't play in the match with the Spartans, as Coach Ray Courtright wanted to give the ailing shoulder a rest. However, it is expected that Smith will see action in the Illinois en- counter, although he will probably only play play in the singles matches in the afternoon and will not try to compete in the best ball matches, as it is hoped that he will be in top shape for the Big Ten Meet. "His shoulder is still taped and although it doesn't seem to bother him 'muchb while he is playing, Coach Court- right is going to have him keep it strapped to prevent any possibility of having it pull out again. Next to Smith, whose injury has been a crucial point, Bill Courtright has been the most talked of man on the team this week. The tough little junior who has been shooting better and better golf all season, climaxed his efforts in the Spartan 'match when he carded a one over par 73. As the scores would indicate, the golfers seem to have undergone a slight slump in the past few days. Bob Fife especially has been having trouble with high scores. This diffi- culty may well be due to staleness, but it is expected that after a two days' rest it may all be ironed out. MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE . W L Pct. GB W L Pet.
