Newsom Hides Before Opener
With Three Lettermen
Eight Champions Tla Prmise Many Thrills
By DAVE LOEWENBERG
Michigan's well-balanced tennis
squad is being sent through daily
workouts in preparation for its open-
ing match against the University of
Chicago to be played April 29 in the
Windy City.
The power-laden Maize and Blue
net squad has a host of experienced
performers, in addition to several
transfers from other schools who are
now members of the Army and Navy
units here on campus. Coach Leroy
Weir has already selected a tentative
12 man squad but he indicated that
the personnel of the team is not
definite. Everycandidate on the
squad will be given an opportunity to
challenge the top-ranking players
and should the challenger be victori-

ous, he will promptly be listed as ai
possible varsity performer.
Boys Work Indoors
At present Coach Weir has been
drilling the boys in the Sports Build-
ing. As soon as weather conditions
permit, theteam will move outside.
Michigan's veteran mentor is very
anxious to have the squad engage in
outdoor practices as it is very diffi-
cult for the players to acclimate
themselves to the composition of clay
courts if they have been playing too
long on wood. The play on wood;
courts is much faster than on clay,
and consequently, when the boys
move outside, their timing has to
undergo a complete transformation.
The Wolverine's three returningI
lettermen- Jinx Johnson, Roger
Lewis and Roy Boucher, have looked
promising in the early sessions. John-
son, who is a freshman in Law
School, is only able to practice over
the week-ends, but this irregular
routine does not seem to have im-
paired his effectiveness. Boucher and
Lewis have always looked impressive
on wood, as both men are offensive-
ly-minded performers. This type of
play is especially effective on an
indoor court.
Post Looks Good
Dave Post, who won his freshman
numerals two years ago, is showing'
more drive this season than ever
before. Post was a high-ranking
junior player several seasons ago,f
but since he came to Michigan he,
has not lived up to advanced expec-l
tations. Last year Post was forced
to quit the squad because of illness.,
Bill Ford, one of Michigan's top-,
ranking prep performers, is another
player whom Coach Weir is counting
on for big things this year. Fred
Zieman, who alternated as number,
one and two man at Michigan State
last year, is also on campus, but
because of his heavy schedule in the
forestry school, Zieman's status is
still uncertain.
Coach Weir is extremely pleased
over two boys from the West Coast,

DETROIT, March 29.-uP)-- Vir-
tually eliminated from the Stanley
Cup hockey playoffs in which they
are defending champions, the Detroit
Red Wings counted heavily today
on the advantage of home ice in
their hope of returning to winning
ways against. the Chicago Black-
hawks Thursday when the series re-
turns to Olympia.
Beaten twice straight and down
3 to'1 in games to the surprising
Hawks, Detroit faces a necessity of
grabbing off three straight to survive
the first round playoff and earn the
right to play the Montreal-Toronto
winner for the cup.
Chicago, meanwhile, needs only to
win next Sunday at home to break
up the series, regardless of whether
Detroit comes back with a victory
tomorrow.
The Wings, hexed by poor aim for
the nets and a ragged defense since
the playoffs got under way, will be a
shade stronger for the Thursday
game with return of defenseman Bill
Quackenbush, who missed both tilts
at Chicago because of a knee injury.
Gosh, I wish we had an

You can't really blame the man for
wishing ... especially when he does
the washing. Even those fortunate hus-
bands who merely dry the dishes are
good prospects for an electric dish-
washer. This electric appliance washes
and DRIES dishes--eliminating the
most disliked of all household chores.
And dishes are much cleaner than
when dried with a dish towel.
Someday you'll again be able to buy
a dishwasher and all the other electric
appliances that make life more enjoy-
able. Until that day arrives, put every
penny you can spare into War Bonds.
War Bonds are the key to your post-
war treasure chest. They are assurance
that tomorrow's electric servants will
be yours.
