Ford Takes over Number Three Spot; Gulic
Jumps to Fourth Berth in Surprise Move,.

By DAVE LOEWENBERG
After a week of intensive challenge
matches, which produced some dras-
tic changes in the Wolverine tennis
lineup, Coach Leroy Weir and his
seven-man squad entrained today for
Chicago, where they will face Illinois
and Wisconsin in two dual meets over.
the week-end.
The only two positions which will
remain intact are the number one
and two singles berths, which again
will be held down by Jinx Johnson
and Jim Frolik. In the top match of
the series, Johnson edged out Frolik
in a torrid three-set encounter, 6-2,
6-8, 6-3.
The number three singles spot will
be taken over by Bill Ford, the Wol-
verine freshman star. Following be-
hind Ford will be Merle Gulic, Roger
Lewis and Dave Post in the four, five
and six positions respectively.
Ford Takes over Third Spot
Ford jumped up from number four
to the three singles berth by virtue
of a well-played 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 triumph
over Lewis. Ford was clicking beau-
tifully on a deadly forehand cross
court shot. He has a~powerful service
along with a good net game, which
makes him very difficult to beat.
In a match for the number two
singles berth, Frolik whiffed Ford
6-3, 6-2. Frolikkept on hitting the

sidelines with well-placed shots and
his back-court play was very steady.
Ford displayed a very effective drop
shot and it was only his erratic play
at times that enabled the dependable'
Frolik to pound out a victory.
Gulic Advances
Merle Gulic, the tall, blonde star
from DePauw University, made the
greatest advancement on the squad
as he worked himself from the num-
ber six position to number four.
Gulic's first triumph was a convin-
cing 6-2, 6-0 win over Dave Post.
Then Gulic chalked up his most im-
pressive win of the year with a three
set 3-6, 6-0 6-3 victory over Lewis.
This match was an excellent example
of good, sound tennis and both boys
displayed a great deal of ability.
According to Coach Wier, Gulic has
been playing almost as well as any-
one on the squad. Gulic, at present,

In Return Match
Golfers Seek Revenge
For Earlier Defeat at
Hands of Scarlet Squad
Tomorrow, the Wolverine golfers
will be seeking their fourth victory of
the season against two defeats when
they encounter the Buckeye linksters
at the University Golf Course.
Two weeks ago Coach Courtright's
charges played at Columbus and
suffered their first defeat of the sea-
son at the hands of Ohio State, 12-6.
One of the reasons for the Ohioans
victory was that no Michigan links-
man was able to compete with the
Scarlet's number one player, Dick
Peterson.
Michigan Given Chance
Coach Courtright said that Michi-
gan will have a chance to be the vic-
tors in the return match Saturday
because Jack Tews will be able to
challenge Peterson.
Last week-end the Buckeye squad
played matches with Purdue, Indiana
and Illinois, copping two and tying
one of the three matches. Coach
Kepler's team tied Purdue 7%/-7 /2,
won from Illinois 14-1 and conquered
Indiana 111%-31/ by winning these
tilts the Ohio State linksters are now
considered one of the strongest con-
tenders for the Big Ten golf crown.
Peterson Stars
The match Saturday will probably
determine the 1944 Conference
champs. The medalist for the day
was the Bucks' star Peterson, who
turned in scores of 80 and 76.
Michigan split two matches last
week winning from Western Michi-
gan but dropping the second contest
to a strong Notre Dame team 17% -
9%. Jack Tews topped the squad in
the Bronco tilt with a score of 72,
and on Sunday captain Phil Marcel-
lus captured honors.
Courtright has decided that the
same team which played in last
week's matches will tee off against
the Buckeyes. This includes captain
Phil Marcellus, Jack Tews, Paul
O'Hara, Tom Messinger, John Jens-
wold and Duncan Noble.

Maize and Blue Strengthened by Return of
Swanson, Hirsch; Illinois Made Favorites

Against Buck

By HANK MANTHO
Michigan thinclads have been pol-
ishing up their attack all week and
tomorrow at 1:45 p.m. they will get
a chance to display their wares as
they play host to Illinois and Purdue'
in a triangular meet, in which the
strong cinder squad from Illinois has
been designated as the pre-meet fa-
vorite.
Although the Wolverines have been
strengthened considerably by the ad-
dition of several veterans and the
improved performances of others,
Coach Ken Doherty is still skeptical
as to the outcome, saying that "in
all of the. dope sheets I have made
out this week, Michigan has not come
out on top in any of them."
Illini Favored
As Coach Doherty has it figured
out, Michigan and Illinois should
each win six firsts, with Purdue reg-
istering two firsts in the weights. On
the basis of this prediction~ the meet
will be decided on numbers, and
Coach Doherty has entered 36 men in

Hirsch. who came in second in the
broad jump at the indoor Conference
finals, but also because of the rapid
improvement of Henry Dolan: and
Tom Paton in the high jump.
Young Paces Illinois
Coach Leo Johnson of Illinois will
bring a strong squad which has
steadily improved all year. This
strong array of talent will be headed
by Claude (Buddy) Young, who
reached his peak performance in a
quadrangular meet last week, win-
ning he broad jump, tying the 100-
yard mark and breaking the existing
220-yard record of the University.
The Daily Illini today reported that
Coach Johnson will run Bob Kelly
in the mile run tomorrow. Kelley
ran the mile last week in a meet for
the first time in his life and he won
handily by 50 yards. However, his
time was not too fast and he will be
competing against Michigan's famed
Hume twins.
When asked about the event that
would decide the match, Coach Do-
herty reiterated that "It depends up-
on the mile relay." The Illinois four-
some covered the distance in 3:21.1
at the Drake Relays a short time ago,
this being seven tenths of a second
better than the Wolverines' best time
of 3:21.8 which was posted at the
Penn Relays.

It is quite probable that Michigan's
doubles teams will remain intact. The
top duo will be Lewis and Frolik, with
a strong supporting combination of
Johnson and Ford. The third doubles
team will be Gulic and Roy Boucher.
Incidentally, Weir is quite pleased
with the fine play of Boucher.
Coach Weir summed up the situa-
tion adequately when he stated that
Michigan has fine performers this
