THE MICHIGAN-DAILY TAGS ms Track Team Will Play Golfers Point Toward Victory over Buckeyes The Wolverine linksmen finally got a break in the weather yesterday, and settled down in preparation for a return match with Ohio State here this Saturday. The golfers, who split two matches this past week-end, winning from Western Michigan Saturday and los- ing to Notre Dame Sunday, will be out to avenge the defeat suffered. at the hands of the Buckeyes two weeks ago. The score of that contest was 12-6, but the Wolverine players were handicapped by the tricky greens on the Ohio course. Varsity To Play This time, the Wolverines will have the advantage of playing on their home course, but unless weather con- ditions become more favorable, they will suffer from lack of practice. Also, the course is liable to be in bad shape unless more sunshine is seen before Saturday. At yesterday's workout, there was evidence. of water on the high spots and the entire course was heavy, thus allowing very little bounce on the fairways and making the greens slow. Nevertheless, the linksmen look for- ward to Saturday's matches, feeling that a victory against Ohio State would put them in a better position for the Big Ten championship mat- ches next month. Played Well Saturday Last Saturday, the golfers turned in some of their best cards of the season in winning from Western Michigan, 25-2. However, on Sunday they were beaten by the Irish, 171 - 91/2. Their showing in this contest can probably be blamed on the fact that they were tired following Saturday's matches. The same players who started in last week's matches will undoubtedly start against Ohio State. This in- cludes Jack Tews, Phil Marcellus, Paul O'Hara, Tom Messinger, John Jenswold and Duncan Noble. Mar- cellus and O'Hara faired the best of these men in the last Ohio contest when they halved their respective matches. Tews Shoots Best Recently, Jack Tews has been shooting the best of the squad, while Capt. Marcellus is gradually rounding into shape. Saturday, the best ball matches will take place in the morning, while the single matches will be played in the afternoon. Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pet. GB W L Pct.

WILL HEAVE - George Kraeger, shot putter on Michigan's out- standing track squad, who will see action this week-end, when the thinclads take on both Illinois and Purdue in a triangular meet which should test the Conference chances of the Wolverines.,, Netters Hope To Win Twice This Week-End lost to I] Five Outdoor Records May. J Be Shattered Hume Twins Out for Michigan, ConferenceI Outdoor Mile Crown By BILL LAMBERT Saturday's triangular meet in which the Wolverines play host to Purdue and Illinois, will not only show where the Conference outdoor power lies,G but also presents a strong possibility that five meet records will be erased from the books. That "title-toting two-some," Ross and Bob Hume, who as the present time share the Conference indoor mile crown, will be shooting at the meet record of 4:18.3 for the same distance, and at the same time the Michigan outdoor mile record of' 4:16.4. This latter time is the oldest1 record on the books, and was turned' in by H. L. Carroll in 1916. Both twins have bettered the meet record in previous races this year, and should they be pushed, have a good chance of slicing Carroll's. Young May Shatter Record Illinois' Claude "Buddy" Young who has been endangering so many rec- ords in both his indoor and outdoor performances, will have more than a good chance of shattering the meet record in the 100-yard dash and the 220. Last week Young tied the meet record time of :9.6 for the century run, and turned in a time of :20.9 for the 220, which is two tenths of a second better than the meet mark which was set by Robert Grieve of Illinois in 1935. Any kind of a dual in the 880 be- tween Bob Ufer, who holds the world's indoor 440-yard record and the Con- ference crown at the present time; Bill Biele, the Purdue transfer who placed fourth in the National Colle- giates for Illinois last year; and Bob Kelley, who nosed out Ross Hume to take the indoor half mile title in the Conference meet; could easily result in the breaking of the meet record for that distance. Both Ufer and Biele have done better than 1:54.6 which is the meet's best time, and it is very probable that the threesome wil be running down around that time. Illinois or Michigan Miay Take Mile Both Illinois and Michigan have a chance of slicing the meet mark in the mile relay. This race, according to Coach Ken Doherty, "will probably decide the meet, and in this event, we will be at no disadvantage." The mile relay quartet from Illinois turn- ed in a time of 3:21.1 in the Drake Relays last week, and this is seven tenths of a second better than the Wolverines' best time yet this year. Both these times are fairly close to the meet mark of 3:19.5, and with the two teams running against each other the time is sure to be fast. The Wolverine squad as a whole is in fine shape for Saturday's program. Julian Witherspoon, the freshman sprinter, who was hampered with a leg injury in the late part of the in- door season, has responded to treat- ment, and should be at his best. Dick Barnard, who grabbed third in both the half and mile runs in the Confer- ence meet, seems to be performing in his best season form despite a fractured bone in his foot. The opening gun will be fired at 1:45 Saturday afternoon at Ferry Field and should be over by 3:10, just about the time the baseball game against Ohio State is slated to start. linois, Purdue By MARY LU HEATH With Tuesday's contest with Grosse Ile rained out, the Michigan baseball team went through a regular intra- squad game yesterday in preparation for their scheduled two-game series Friday and Saturday here with Ohio State. These games will be the Buckeyes' fifth and sixth Conference starts this season. They have played two-game schedules with both Illinois and Chi- cago, dropping two to the Illini and crushing the Maroons by decisive scores. Nakama Returns One of the three veterans return- ing to the Buckeye lineup this year is Keo Nakama, better known in Big Ten circles as a swimmer. Nakama was the secondary gun in the '42 tank campaign which saw Bill Smith star to bring home the Conference crown to Columbus. Nakama holds the Conference title in the 220 and 440 and is at present in possession of the Big Ten record in both events. He placed third in the 220 and second in the 440 dis- tance in this year's NAAU meet, and League Leaders Baseball Squad Prepares for Two Game Series with Strong OSU Team is titleholder in both the 440 and 1,500 meters for the National Collegiates. Nakama held down tihe third base spot for the Ohio State diamond squad last year and is occupying the short- stop berth on this season's team. He is a very deft man at g atting on base, principally because of his diminutive size. Buckeye coach, Fritz. Mackey, also has two veteran hurlens returning to his squad. Don Grate, Ohio State's high-scoring cage forward, was one of the starting pitchers in '43, and' beat Michigan, although he was shelled from the box iin the sixth in- ning of the contest. Maxa To Pitch Gene Maxa will also be back on the mound for the Buckeyes. Maxa faced the Wolverines once last sea- son, and neither team had scored by the end of the fourth, when the game was called because of rain. Ohio State has no Navy trainees and consequently the team is com- posed of civilians.

Did Better at Chicago However, they fared much better at Chicago, where they amassed ten runs in the last inning of the second contest to beat the Maroons by a 17-3 count. The Chicago hurlers made it considerably easier for the Buckeyes in this tilt, giving up 16 walks. In giving an estimate of the Ohio State aggregation, Wolverine coach Ray Fisher stated, "The State team should be a little better, but in most ways similar, to Iowa. Their pitchers should also be similar, with Big Grate having fair speed and pretty good control." Coach Mackey has been with the Buck coaching staff since the middle thirties, and was appointed the year after he had caught the varsity base- ball squad in his senior year in col- lege.

Last week's 5-4 loss to the power- ful -Irish squad, was not a very .de- cisive victory, and it is expected that the Maize and Blue netters will easily rebound from the loss to hand both the Badgers and the Illini, if not ov- erwhelming, at least satisfactory beatings. Weir Satisfied Coach LeRoy Weir was well satis- fied with the play of the netters in the Notre Dame contest, and felt that the squad played very acceptable tennis against the South Bend squad. It was a disappointment when the top three singles men, Jinx Johnson, Jim Frolik and Roger Lewis, were unable to take their matches, but on the other hand, it was gratifying that Bill Ford, Dave Post and Merle Gulic, playing in the fourth, fifth and sixth slots were able to maintain their un- defeated status against such compe- tition as Notre Dame afforded. Top Men Have Lost The top three men on the squad have each suffered two losses during the season, but the last three have remained untouched in competition, as has the number three doubles team composed of veteran Roy Bou- cher and transfer Merle Gulic. Especially noteworthy has been the play of freshman netter Bill Ford. In none of his matches has the wily youngster shown any tendency to blow up, and, playing in the fourth slot, he has run up against players who might prove disconcerting to a far more experienced player.
