Coach Weir has already selected an 11 man squad, but indicated that he is undecided as to which players will comprise the starting lineup. Accord- ing to Weir, Jinx Johnson, Roger Lewis and Jim Froelich are certain to be the first three men on the team, but the remaining three positions are fairly indefinite. At present Weir is concentrating all his efforts in an attempt to fill up the remaining posi- tions. Weir said, "We have four or five players who are capable of play- ing Big Ten tennis, and now I'm run- ning a series of challenge matches so I can get a line on the best talent available. Wage Battle for Positions The principal contenders for the last three positions are Merle Gulic, Dave Post, Roy Boucher and Bill Ford. Boucher was a letter winner on last year's squad, while Post was forced to quit the team, due to illness. Gulic hails from the sunny shores of California and Ford was a top rank- ing netter in Detroit prep circles. Farnum Johnson, Bob Matthews, Gus Rueda and Bob Richards com- plete the 11 man roster. These four players have been engaging in prac- tice matches with the above quartet and it is upon a basis of comparative scores that Coach Weir will make his final selections. Weir seems to be optimistic over the team's chances for making a good showing in the Conference race. "We have a much stronger team than last year," said Weir, "and I have every reason to suspect that we'll give a good account of ourselves in the en- suing campaign." To date, the team has been ham- pered by inclement weather, but it is hoped. that they will be able to move outside by Thursday or Friday. It is very difficult for the boys to accli- mate themselves to outside playing conditions, especially when they have been playing so long on wood. Open Season in Chicago The Wolverines will open their Big Ten campaign April 29 when they tackle Minnesota and Chicago in the JINX JOHNSON Windy City. It has been rumored that Buck Shayne, a former Kalama- zoo College star is now playing with the Maroons, but no definite inf or- mation has been received as to whe- ther or not he will be able to com- pete. - On May 6 the Maize and Blue will face Notre Dame at South Bend. This should be one of the highlight match- es of the year as the Irish have on their roster Jerry Evert, a top-rank- ing junior netter in American tennis circles. By BILL MULLEND ORE In preparation for the belated sea- son's opener against Fort Custer Sat- urday, Baseball Coach Ray Fisher drove his charges through a nine inning intra-squad game and topped it off with a brisk fungo drill for his outfielders. The intra-squad tilt saw the clos- est contest of the training season as the Blues gained their first victory, nosing out the Red first-stringers 4-3 on an unearned run in the top half of the ninth. Elroy Hirsch was the winning pitcher and also carried his team's winning run across the plate. Bowman, Schmidtke Start Bo Bowman opened on the mound for the Reds and Dick Schmidtke for the Blues. Fisher's two aces each gave up three runs in the four innings they worked. Bowman was again troubled by wildness, forcing in all three markers on a pair of walks and a hit batsman after the Blues loaded the bases in the second. Schmidtke was pounded~ rather freely by the regulars, giving up four hits in his tenure, most of which came with men on the bases. In the fifth, Hirsch took over for Schmidtke' and Al Willers came in in place of Bowman. Both men hurled runless ball until the ninth although defen- sive lapses put them in trouble sev- eral times. Hirsch Steals Second In the, first of the ninth Hirsch beat out a slow bounder to short and stole second. He came all the way home on Renner's overthrow of third while trying to double Hirsch after an infield out. In the bottom of the last frame Mike Farnyk led off with a looping double down the right field foul Rain. Hampers Golf Practice The theme song of the 1944 golf team is undoubtedly "Stormy Weath-# jer."', The opening match was to be here, April 15, against the University of Detroit, but it was cancelled because of rain. Coach Ray Courtright said that there is a possibility that the match might be played here Friday, April 21. This season Courtright's charges have had only four or five days of out-door practice. Michigan's golf mentor remarked that the boys' swingsrand their forms would improve if they would have the opportunity to practice on the golf course Court- right said that the bad weather is holding the squad up, but that up to date he is well pleased with the results, and all the golfers are doing their best under such unfavorable conditions. line and was sacrificed to third by Ketterer. However, he was cut down at the plate by Bob Nussbaumer's perfect throw as he attempted to score on a ground ball to third. An infield error put men on first and. second but Hirsch got the last man on a sharply hit ground ball which caromed off Nussbaumer's glove into the hands of shortstop Walter KHell. Hirsch, Willers IKook Good Both Hirsch and Willers looked very good over the five inning stretch. The former gave up three safeties, two of them of the flukey variety, and passed two men. Fisher juggled his lineup some- what for the tilt, putting in Farnyk at Nussbaumer's third base berth and moving "Nuss" down to the second string temporarily. Elmer Swanson and Tom King, first and second string first sackers, were absent be- cause of illness, necessitating the use of Art Renner and Jack Hackstadt, both pitchers, at the bag.

Team Weakened The team has been weakened in various spots and in an effort to balance up the squad. the broadjump, mile, 880, two-mile and sprints are getting special attention. The first time trials are slated for this Thursday and Friday, and it will be interesting to note how the times run as compared to the winter's in- door performances. These trials will be the first indication as to how the Wolverine squad will stack up when it makes its first spring showing April 29 in the Penn Relays. Because only a week and a half remain before this meet, these next practice sessions promise to be intense workouts. Dartmouth Has Strong Team From early reports, Dartmouth is being looked upon as one of the most likely contenders at the Relays. The Indians, who had one of the finest indoor track teams in the East, have since picked up some more transfers which will undoubtedly add to the power of their aggregation. The Penn Relays, always .one of the fea- tures of the nation's outdoor track card, will mark the debut of the Maize and Blue thinclads in their outdoor season. Cubs Beat White Sox, 7-6 In Final Spring Series Tilt CHICAGO, April 17. - (IP) - The Chicago Cubs defeated the White Sox, 7 to 6, in their final spring series game today, with the White Sox winning the series, three games to two. The game was played before more than 20,000 high school student war bond salesmen. The Cubs belted Johnny Humph- ries and Buck Ross for ten hits, four of which they made during a four- run splurge in the second inning at Humphries' expense.
