Thinclads Meet Spartans, OSU Here Saturday Michigan's title-bound Wolverine trackmen will make their only home appearance of the 1943 indoor cam- paign Saturday afternoon at Ferry Field in a triangular meet with Ohio State and Michigan State. The Maize and Blue cindermen, headed by Captain Dave Matthews, will be favored to take top honors with the Buckeyes nosing out State for second place. Michigan, stung by the 62-60 de- feat at Champaign last Saturday against a strong Illini outfit, is ex- pected to bound back and should not have too much trouble with a Buck- eye squad that has been hard hit by Uncle Sam's demands. State Should Be Easy Michigan State, on the other hand, doesn't expect to press hard since both the Wolverines and Buckeyes administered one-sided defeats to State indoors last winter. Added to that is the loss of .14' of Coach Karl Schlademan's trackmen to the armed forces. The Spartans are relying on two of their topnotch performers, Cap- tain Bill Scott and Jim Milne, for first-place wins. Scott, a senior from Buffalo, galloped under the 4:15 mark indoors this past winter and has shown a great deal of form in out- door workouts. Milne, the lad -who removes one shoe when high jumping, is almost sure of a first even though off form. The long-legged Detroiter who was one of the nation's five best jumpers a year ago, has not been up to form this season. He failed to place in the Drake Relays this spring, but neither Michigan nor Ohio State has a man to press him. Spartans Have Other Winners Schladeifan's other performers who should come in for points, are Bob McCarthy, sprints; Mel Busch- man, hurdles; Jerry Page, two miles; Dale Kaulitz, quarter-mile; and Bill Roberts, pole vault. Saturday's meet will be the only opportunity Wolverine fans will have to see their Big Ten indoor cham- pions in action. The pole vault and shot put events are scheduled for 1:45 p.m. with the running events slated for 2 o'clock. Tigers Defeat Browns ST. LOUIS, May 4.-()-The De- troit Tigers gained their third suc- cessiv*' victory over the St. Louis Browns by stamping out late threats on the relief pitching of Paul (Dizzy) Trout today to take the opener of a three-game series, 4 to 3. There will be a meeting of the M-Club tomorrow night at eight o'clock in the Union. All letter men urged to attend. -Julie Franks, President Entries for the annual IM ten- nis meet to be held next week will be taken in the IM Building.

By DAVE LOEWENBERG A squad of seven Wolverine netters, including Captain Jinx Johnson, Roger Lewis, RQy Bradley, Fred Wel- lington, Roy Boucher, Fred Sleator,, and Merle Brown, leave today for Chicago, where they will engage Chi- cago, Ohio State, and Northwestern on successive days. These three meets will be an acid test for the Michigan raequet wield- ers and on the basis of these week- end performances, it will behmuch easier to predict Michigan's chances in the Western Conference Meet at Northwestern May 13, 14, 15. Netters Look Well in Victorv The home team looked fairly im- pressive in their 7-2 conquest over the Kalamazoo College, team on Sat- urday, May 1. However, it must be noted that the Kalamazoo squad was comparatively weak, and it was dif- ficult to determine the actual strength of the 1943 netters. The present standing of the team, is three wins and two losses. Captain Jinx Johnson by virtue of his 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 triumph over Vic Soukup, Kalamazoo's top man, proved that he is of championship calibre. Soukup is a slashing, driving performer and it was only Johnson's keen court strategy and steady play that enabled him to whip his aggres- sive opponent. In the number two singles match Roger Lewis really swung into form as he decisively trounced Learman of Kalamazoo 6-3, 6-3. However, Lewis will have to be at the top of his game if he wants to make a creditable showing in the Western Conference Meet. One thing that stands in Lewis' favor is the fact that he has had much experience at tournament tennis and the glamour of the Big Ten Meet should not be new to him. Roy Bradley, Michigan's number three man was very impres- sive in his 6-0, 6-1, conquest over Williams. He was on the offensive throughout the entire match and he continually won his points with a well executed overhead smash and an effective net game. Wellington Loses Match Fred Wellington was the .lone Maize and Blue netter who dropped his singles encounter. It seems as though Wellington is having a great deal of difficulty acclimating himself to outside playing conditions, but Coach Weir is confident that Fred, with a little more practice, will show the kind of tennis that he is capable of playing. Michigan's number five and six men, Fred Sleal or :and Merle Brown, won their matches 'ry easily. This was Brown's fire List eI . . . unique with that poptil cew . no YOU want one?

The residence halls are in the midst of their finals and winner will face the titlists of the fraternity league. The fraternities will begin their playoffs within the next few weeks and it is expected that the "all-school championship" will be held a couple of days before finals. The turnout for this sport has been quite remarkable despite the war, although the number of teams that did not send in their entries number- ed almost 80: The professional fra- ternities, independents, co-opera- tives, and faculty teams were among those that did not send any entries in. All in all, a grand total of 28 nines are playing IM ball this semes- ter. Riskey Still Pleased Earl Riskey thesdirector of the IM sports program, when asked what he thought about the small number of teams competing said, "I feel that the, IM program is a success in spite of the small turnout mainly because many of the students are in the re- serves, and I felt that they would be too busy with their school work to be able to spend any time with intra- murals. It is much better than I had hoped for." 'Besides the weather, a lack of um- pires to officiate at the games and a lack of men to fix and mark the play- ing fields have helped to keep the fellows from playing ball. As a re- suit of these two catastrophies the teams have been forced to postpone quite a few of their games-although some have been played with one of the fellows umpiring while his side was at bat and the other team doing the same, when they took their turn at the plate. Wenley Had Good Season s Wenley House, which ruled as one of the pre-season favorites in the residence hall league and fulfilled these predictions in not tasting de- feat during the regular season was defeated in the finals of the resi- dence halls championship. Going into the fifth inning Wen- ley was leading 3 to 1 and then the fire-works started. Lloyd scored four runs which proved to be the winning markers and Lloyd went on to win with the final score of 5 to 3. If Lloyd, show the form that they showed last night they will stand an excellent chance against the win- ners of the fraternity league in the "All-school championship." Four Leaders in Fraternity League In the fraternity league one of the teams that will be battling among the leaders for the champion- ship is the Sigma Alpha Mu nine. Zeta Beta Tau, Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi will also be among those teams in the fight to be the fraternity rep- resentative against Lloyd House. Something that really stands out in this season's games is that there aren't as many sluggers left on the teams as there were last year. UH .Ii ACl We've got to Hurry To Get a Ticket for the MI 111i I
