Christie Breaks Even with Johnson in Well-Played Match; Ford, Post, Boucher Win By JO ANN PETERSON j It was scheduled at the last minute, but yesterday's tennis match, in which the varsity netters met a squad of Army flyers from the Romulus air base, proved to be just the competi- tion Michigan needed before the all- important Big Ten matches to be held at Chicago, Saturday. The flyers only brought down a four man squad to tackle, the Maize and Blue players, but at least one of these men proved to play a brand of, tennis so excellent that it forced the varsity to go all out to win. Johnson Plays Christie Jinx Johnson, playing in his accus- tomed number one singles position, was' matched with fit. Warren Chris- tie of the Romulus squad. Johnson, who is one of the three top contenders for the Big Ten singles crown, has not been extended this week, and needed an opponent to provide enough competition so that the stea- dy Jinx could have a workout prep- aratory to the Conference matches. In Lt. Christie, Jinx met a player, who according to Coach LeRoy Weir, played "some of the finest tennis that has been seen in Ann Arbor for a1 long time." Lt. Christie was number one singles player on the University of Texas tennis teamn during the '41; and '42 seasons, and played on a squad which included such outstand- ing players as Wally Driver, rated) number four junior player in the country, and Jack Hickman, another high ranking star. Christie Has Not Played This Season Lt. Christie has been able to play only three times this season, but he displayed a brand of smooth-strok- ing, hard-hitting tennis that was remarkable to watch. He took the first set from Johnson, 6-4, but was downed in the second set, 7-5. Lt. Christie tired during the second set, as he was naturally out of condition, but still managed to look so good in the majority of rallies, that several times the ball traveled back and forth across the net as many as 40 times before a point was scared. Mai tch Not Finished" The match was not concluded as Coach Weir did not wish .Johnson to wear himself out, when he will be calledd upon to play three matches Saturday. In the other matches of the after- noon, the remaining players. Boucher. Post and Ford all took their sets from the Romulus players, while in the doubles even Coach Weir entered the game, as Bill Ford had to return to the quad. The Romulus match was a final test before the Conference match, and from all indications the squad is in good shape, and should be well- qualified to walk off with team honors at Chicago. Golfers Leave To Compete in Big Ten Meet Michigan Favored;- Tews To Play Top Position at Chicago By RUTH ELCONIN Having captured the Big Ten golf crown for the past two years, the Wolverine linksmen will be making a strong bid for thieir third successive title tomorrow at the Medinah Coun- try Club in Chicago. Golf mentor Ray Courtright and Captain Phil Marcellus left yesterday for the Windy City, which will give them the opportunity to play the course before the matches start on Saturday. John Jenswold, Jack Tews, Tom Messinger and Paul O'Hara, who compose the rest of the team, will not be able to leave until today because of naval regulations. Never- theless, the players will receive accur- ate information about the condition of the links from Courtright and Marcellus Michigan is favored to win team honors, and after reviewing the sea- son's play one can see why they are considered the top team. When the schedule ended last Saturday the. final record was six wins against two defeats. The Wolverines dropped matches to Ohio State and Notre Dame, but on May 13 the Maize and Blue golfers avenged the Buckeye" conquest by defeating the Ohioans 16-2. Tews Is Most Consistent After examining the past perfor- mances of the linksters the most con- sistent player proves to be Jack Tews. Tews has been number one man on the team and has captured honors in] practically every contest. Coach Courtright said one of the major fac- tors in the big Buckeye defeat wasE because Tews was able to stop Ohio's star golfer, Dick Peterson. Probably one of the reasons for Tews' success-; ful season was because he was one of .the first ones to hit his stride and h gaintained top playing conditions throughout the year. Right on Tews' heels is Marcellus, who did not start shooting good golf until the last half ofthe season.Now he is in perfect shape and is being counted on to keep the pace he has set in past weeks and to match his past Big Ten performance. Good Team Balance The next three members of the varsity squad, Messinger, O'Hara and Jenswold, are on equal footing. Of the trio, Messinger is the only one to have competed in all the contests, and his best score was last week at Detroit, when he carded a 75. Jens- wold's top showing of the year was also at the Motor City when he topped both teams with a score of 74. Courtright stated that "Messin- ger and Jenswold played their best golf of the year at Detroit," and O'Hara is now playing up to expecta- tions. These five players have worked in perfect harmony throughout the sea- By MARY LU HEATH ri _.___.. --- ____ ___ _ With yesterday's scheduled con- are no other ranking veterans be- By BILL LAMBERT Shr sides Wah returning this season and A 25-man Wolverine track squad lone conquerors of Coach Ray Fish- Harrell has been the victim of hard I embarks today on what promises to er's baseball nine, called off after an luck as far as the draft is concerned, be its toughest assignment of the hour's wait following a short, violent Three of the Indiana mentor's year, that of copping the team cham- cloudburst which soaked the dia- players have been called to the armed pionship in the Conference meet forces since the opening of the sea- which is being held in Champaign, mond, the Wolverines leave today Ill. for Bloomington, Ind., where they son, the last of which was Ed Sidwell, A the outfielder whose pair of doubles After being victorious in all their will play the Hoosiers in a double- were responsible for the Hoosier de- indoor meets and winning the Big Ten header tomorrow. --.----- - .._ .._crown with a record total of points, The Indiana squad is a highly im- they will be out to round out their pro"d"'.m::.:':::':::.:;,hadso-far perfect outdoor season in the proved team from the one which had 4: am mnnr.Wit'Bdd Yun a record of one win against three same manner.

Counting on six more points in the field events, and should Elroy Hirsch compete in the broadjump, possibly more, this totals up to 60 points which potentially spell Victory for the Wol- verines. However, the difference be- tween the Orange and Blue and Michigan is so slight, any sort of an upset in one event could change the whole scene.
