THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAQZ TUKE rw _ _a Wolverines Beat Fort Custer for Tenth Victory of Season {i Netters Play Final Match of Season Toda v Wiese, Hackstadt Hurl Two .. 1 ' Tennis Squad To Encounter Romulus Air Base Players Northwestern To IBe Greatest Threat to Wolverines for Conference Title Saturday In an abbreviated dual meet, whichh - - will find only four men competing, Michigan's tennis squad will face the Romulus Air Base team today at 4 p.m. on Ferry Field. This match will be the last one of the season before the Conference championships Saturday at North- western. Michigan rules as a fav- orite for' the Big Ten title but the Thinckds' Big Ten Title Hopes By HANK MANTI1O When the outstanding collegiate track teams of the country line up for the 44th running of the Big Ten outdoor championships Saturday, Michigan and Illinois will, as in years past, occupy the top rungs as favor- ites to finish in the one-two slots. With the loss of Bob Ufer, out- standing middle-distance runner, all chances for the mile relay team com- ing through with an upset victory over the Orange and Blue quartet have faded, and the Wolverines will now have to rely on the distance and field events for first places, with. team balance providing enough points to keep them in the thick of the battle. Illini Enter Young At the same time, Coach Leo John- son's Illini will be at top strength, and there is a possibility that he will enter Claude (Buddy) Young in the 220-yard low hurdles, as well as the 100 and 220-yard dashes -and the broad jump, the same events that Jesse Owens ran on his record break- ing day at the meet in 1935. Young hasn't run the low hurdles' in dual meet competition as he could not get enough rest between races. However, the Conference finals are spaced far enough apart so that if' he can qualify in the preliminaries, Young should have enough rest to compete in this affair. Martin To Run Hurdles Jack Martin will oppose Young in the lowhurdles foar Michigan; and "even should Young qualify in the preliminaries, he will more than have his hands full trying to break the tape ahead of the Wolverine candi- date. Martin, who has come into his own in the last two dual meets, holds the fastest time for the hurdles in Big Ten circles, traveling the dis- tance ini :24.1. John Eisley, Michigan high hurd- ler, has also improved this week in' practice and should pick up some valuable points for the team. Eisley's improvement can be attributed to the fact that he made a change in his starting style. "I would pick Michigan to win on team balance, spirit and tradition, but the score will be close," was Wol- verine Coach Ken Doherty's comment on the ensuing meet. championship is far from being clinched, and according to Coach Leroy Weir, "the race will be wide open." In the number one singles, Jinx Johnson has a slight edge on the basis of past performances. His toughest competition will come from Harry Hall and Aris Frankin, the Wildcat and Buckeye top men, res- pectively. Johnson will have to be in top form if he is to capture the in- dividual championship. Mitchell Is Tough Player The Wolverine representative in the number two bracket, Jim Frolik, has suffered three Big Ten losses. Tom Mitchell, Harry Tully and Jim White have all beaten the Maize and Blue second-ranking player. Inci- dentally, Mitchell looks like the man to beat, although Frolik was the man to extend him to three sets. Merle Gulic is undefeated in the number three singles berth, and he should win the championship with- out too much difficulty. Paul Roper and Alex Franklin will be the main barriers in Gulic's path to a title. In the number four singles; the top men are Michigan's Bill Ford and Don Clawson, although the two boys played to a 6-6 tie in their last meet- ing. Lewis Is Unbeaten Michigan's Roger Lewis has a per- fect record in the number five brac- ket and should take the title without too much trouble. Bob Bowel and Bob Meyer will furnish Lewis with his toughest opposition. The number six singles berth finds three players of fairly equal ability, Dave Krenzli of Ohio State, Dave Post of Michigan and the Illini net- ter, Howie Shuman. Krenzli has beaten both Post and Shuman in close matches, while Post eked out a three-set triumph over the Orange and Blue representative. Michigan's top duo of Johnson and Ford is undefeated, but in several matches the combination has had tough sledding. The contest against Ohio State's Franklin and Mitchell was really close and both teams are very evenly matched. Gulic, Boucher Favored! The Wildcat doubles team of Paul Roper and Bob Meyer are the favor- ites in the number two doubles berths. Frolik and Lewis of Michigan are next in line and should give the Evanston team a nice battle. Gulic and Roy Boucher are over- whelming favorites to cop the number three doubles title for Michigan. Gu- lic and Boucher have encountered only slight opposition in previous tilts. Coach Weir stated last night that "the Northwestern squad will be Michigan's main nemesis.'' Conference Coaches T' oMeet 7morrow CHICAGO, May 24.-()-Football coaches and the directors of athletics of the Western Conference meet to- morrow to draft gridiron schedules for 1945-46, while the basketball coaches begin their discussions pre- paratory to drafting on Friday the Conference list of games for next season. With ,the University of Chicago withdrawing from Conference basket- ball competition, the remaining nine coaches plan to draw a schedule of 12 games for each university for the 1945-46 season. The current system of two-game trips probably will be maintained. Golfers Enter Big Ten Meet As Favorites Minnesota, Purdue, Ohio State, To Give Squad Most Trouble By BOB CLINTON The Wolverines' well-balanced golf squad will be favored to recapture the coveted Big Ten Golf Champion- ship Saturday, when the linksmen journey to Chicago to compete with the best in the Western Conference over Medinah Country Club's No. 1 course. Coach Ray Courtright and Capt. Phil Marcellus will leave today for the Windy City so that they can look the course over before Saturday's medal play. In this respect, the Wol- verines may suffer because the re- maining four men, John Jenswold, Jack Tews, Tom Messinger and Paul O'Hara are under naval regulations, and therefore will not be able to leave until Friday, and will be unable to tour the course before playing. Eight Teams To Compete The site of the tournament play had previously been announced as the No. 3 course, but a recent change has been made. A field of 37 players will tee off in the matches, which consist of 36 holes. Only eight teams will be represented since.Iowa and Chicago have not been represented by squads this year. So far this season, all the Wol- verine contests have been match play. Medal play differs from this in the fact that the score for the entire 36 holes is counted in determining the champion, instead of each individual hole. The four best cards turned in by the Wolverine quintet will be counted in their quest for a team title. , Michigan Favored Michigan is favored to romp off with team honors. but they will re- ceive a lot of competition from Pur- due, Ohio State and Minnesota, the latter being the strongest. This is undoubtedly due to their overwhelm- ing defeat of Northwestern two weeks ago, 20I1/6/%. The Gophers are cap- tained by Louis Lick, a member of last year's team who finished well up in the conference finals. They are also strengthened by the addition of Jim Harris, a member of Yale's pa- tional collegiate championship team of last year. Thanks to the V-12 program, Pur- due is a title contender for the first time in many years. Their foursome, undefeated in seven starts, is made up of Jack Culp, a transfer from Pur- due, Charles Lamb, Jim Harrison and J. F. Radavich. Ohio State's team is well known to the Wolverines, since they have al- ready met the Buckeyes twice. In the first match at Ohio, the Bucks took a 12-6 verdict, but in the return match at the University Golf Course, the Wolverines were supreme as they walloped the Ohioans, 16-2. Battle for Individual Honors The real battle Saturday will be for individual honors, and this looms as a wide open affair. Last year, Ben Smith of Michigan and Jim Teale of Minnesota tied for the crown, but both of these men have graduated. Among those who may win Saturday are Phil Marcellus, Jack Culp, Louis Lick and Jim Harris. The. Wolverines will be trying for their third straight and eighth Big Ten title. Squads representing the Maize and 'Blue have already tri- umphed in seven of the all-important tournaments. BUY WAR BONDS & STAMPS .: ... :i< Editor's Note: This is a guest column written by Paily sports night editor, Dave Loewenberg. By DAVE LOEWENBERG IN THE TUESDAY edition of the Chicago Tribune, Wilfred Smith of the Tribune sports department announced that Bob Ufer, Elroy 1-Hirsch and Elmer Swanson would be lost to the Wolverine track squad for the eisuing conference championships May 27. This statement by the Tribune is only two-thirds correct. Swanson and Ufer will not compete, but the status of Hirsch is still a big question mark. Hirsch has not yet been scratched from the track entry lists and thore is much speculation as to just what this versatile athlete will do. The alternatives are that he could perform either in baseball or track or possibly attempt the extraordinary feat of trying to compete in both spdrts on the same day. We suspect that Hirsch, being the great competitor that he is, will attempt to perform in both sports. Here is how such an arrangement could be worked out. Hirsch could compete in the broadjump Saturday morning and immediately after finishing, transportation could be furnished to take him to Bloomington, a 120 miles from Champaign, where the track meet is being staged. Hirsch would probably arrive in Bloomington around 3 p.m. and have an hour's rest before taking up his mound duties in the second half of the twin bill against Indiana. HIRSCH, to date, has recorded the best jump in the Conference, and an additional five points in the meet could easily spell the difference be- tween victory and defeat as far as the Wolverine track squad is concerned. Naturally, the double-header with Indiana is a crucial one, but we are of the opinion that Hirsch's great athletic ability and snirit would enable him to do both things with equal effectiveness. This problem will be a highly difficult one to solve, but we are confident that the Michigan athletic department, in collaboration with Hirsch, will be able to work out an arrangement satisfactory to all parties concerned.

I CIASSIFIED ADVERTISING H E RE TODAY ... By NARVEY FRANK Sports Editor Sparked by the pitching of Bob Wiese and Jack Hackstadt, Michi- gan's baseball squad eked out a 1-0 shutout over the Fort Custer nine yesterday at Ferry Field to register its tenth win of the season. Wiese, giving up a single hit in the fourth, vent five innings to win his second victory in as many 'starts. Hackstadt's performance was equally effective as he gave up a ninth inning single in four innings of hurling. The Wolverines clearly out-hit the Custer nine, getting seven base knocks, five of which went for extra bases. Four of these were doubles, and the fifth was a triple by third- baseman Walter Kell, making his first appearance at bat this season. Wiese Scores Run The lone Wolverine tally came in the second when Wiese led off with a single over second base. He was followed at the plate byacenterfielder Don Lund, who laced a single into left-center. Wiese went to third on the throw-in and Lund wound up at second. On the next play, first base- man Elmer Swanson sent a ball to shortstop Harry "Peanuts" Lowery, who trapped Lund on the basepaths and finally cut him down at second with the aid of third baseman Joe Ponzevic. Wiese scored on the play and Swanson was safe at second on the fielder's choice. Lowery Stars The single Michigan marker loomed larger and larger as the game pro- gressed and Custer failed to advance a man past second base. The Army squad had a man on second in the first frame, but he was cut down by a double play, short to first to third. Custer also made a twin killing in the third, when third baseman Mike Farnyk was thrown out at second, the pitcher to the shortstop, after second baseman Char'ey Ketterer had been erased at first. The outstanding player on the field was Lowery, who was the regular shortstop for the Chicago Cubs be- fore his induction into the Army. He made a particularly fine catch of Wiese's foul along the third base line, barely trapping the ball with his gloved hand. Modica Goes Distance Lowery also collected one of the two Custer hits, and was the cause of a five-minute argument in the fourth. He rapped an unmistakable hit into right field and Ketterer, Hit Ball To Shut Out Army Michigan Out-Hits Soldiers with Seven Base Knocks; Lowrey Stars at Shortstop Position catching the ball on the bounce, flipped to Nussbaumer who in turn threw to Blanchard for the out. Not only was the play at second close, but it seemed for a minute that Kettferer had actually caught theyball before it bounced. Custer pitcher Pete Modica went the full distance, and although he gave up seven hits, also sent five men to the dugout via the strikeout route. The Michigan squad will play an- other contest today at 4 p.m. when it tangles for the second time with Camp Perry. The Army squad has inflicted the only defeat which the Wolverines have suffered FT.
