= ATUlJRDAY, MAY 27, 1944 T HE M I CH IGA N D A ILY PAGE ThREE Golfers Links men Eye- Third Straight Championship Field of 37 Divided Into One Foursome, Eleven Threesomes By BOB CLINTON A powerful and well-balanced Wolverine golf squad heads a field of eight teams today, when they tee off for the 36-hole Big Ten golf championship over the Medinah Country Club course at Chicago. The Wolverines are in quest of their third straight team title, as Well as their eighth for the entire conference series. The linksmen are favored to win the tournament, but not before receiving a great deal of competition from the foirsomes of Ohio State, Minnesota, and Purdue. Pairings for the conference sweep- stakes were announced Thursday, and the entry list of 37 men has been divided into 11 threesomes and one foursome, the first of these taking the course at 8:30 a. m. The first three threesomes include the favorites for the individual title with Jack Tews of Michigan, Warren Williamson of Northwestern, and Preston Crabill of Ohio State, the respective teams No. 1 men, leading the way. Minnesota Main Threat Coach Ray Courtright has entered Marcellus, Tews, John Jenswold Paul O'Hara, and Tom Messinger in the tournament with the top four cards being used to determine Mich- igan's team total. Tie main threat to the Wolverine title hopes will be the Golden Golphers of Minnesota. The Golpher quintet will be head- ed by Louis Lick, a member of last year's team, and Jim Harris, a var- sity golfer for three years at Yale. Rounding out th'e group will be Bob Bronson, Jack Cooper, and Jerry Milner. The Golfers chances rest almost entirely in the hands of the latter three, as it is generally be- lieved that Lick and Harris will per- form up to expectations. Purdue Enters Strong Team Harry Allspaw, Purdue golf men- tor, will enter a foursome of Jack Culp, Jim Harrison, Charles Lamb, and John Radavich. It has been largely the work of this quartet that has enabled the Boilermakers to go through the season with a record of six victories, two defeats, and one tie in dual meet competition. Ohio State will undoubtedly use their foursome of Crabill, Dick Pet- erson, Bob Love, and John Spilker that split even in two dual matches with the Wolverines. The team title will go to the school having the low four-man score, while the player having the lowest card will be awarded indi-. vidual honors. Netters Will Battle Against Big Ten Foes (Continued from Page 1) and he was at a great disadvantage. Adams, in turn, has lost to Aris Franklin, and Harry Hall, both of whom have dropped decisions to Johnson. Michigan's representative in the second slot, Jim Frolik, has suffered three Big Ten losses, but all of them were close and the tide might easily turn in favor of him in today's matches. Tom Mitchell of Ohio State is favored to win in the sec- ond position. At number three, Michigan's Merle Gulic will be a heavy favorite to walk off with all,the honors. Gulic has been playing fine tennis all year and ~o one in the Conference has yet been able to extend this power- ful player. Michigan's aggressive freshman star, Bill Ford, will be co-favored along with Frank Clawson of North- western to fight it out for the num- ber four title. Ford and Clawson played a 6-6 tie in their last meet- ing but Coach Leroy Weir feels that Ford should win the next time the two .boys meet.j Roger Lewis, the Michigan south=-I paw, should win the title at numberj five without too much difficulty. The battle for the number six title looks like a wide-open race. Dave' Krenzli of Ohio holds a very slight edge, but he wil be hard pressed by Michigan's Dave ,Post and the Illini netter Howie Shunman. Krenzli edged out Post in a three-set match, while Post barely squeezed out a three-set victory over Shuman. In the doubles competition Michi- gan is favored to cop the number one and three championships, although' Lewis and Frolik, the number twoI team have only been beaten once.

However, to accomplish these feats, Young will have a much tougher time than Owens did while racking up his 20 points. Because.the Confer- ence meet will all be run in one day this year, in contrast to previous years when the trials were run on the Friday before the regularly scheduled day of the meet. To bolster this expected scoring spree of Young's, Captain Bob Kelley will be out to repeat his performances of last year in the 440 and- 880-yard runs, which he chalked up in the Conference finals while pacing the Illini to second place in the final tabulations. The Boilermaker squad, which came in third in the Big Ten indoor meet last March, will undoubtedly finish in the same spot after the matches today. However, Purdue's hopes took a turn for the best last Saturday when Coach Homer Allen's; team pushed the Wolverines to thej limit before they succumbed to the Michigan attack, 62/2-552, in a quadrangular meet held in Lafayette: Purdue scored seven out of the thir- teen individual affairs, also winning the mile relay. In an effort to squelch the title aspirations of Michigan and Illinois, Purdue will count heavily on Ben Harvey, who is strong in the dashes; Jack Exler in the 880, Bill Beile and Don Weber in the 440, while Nelson Klaus, Conference champion in the shotput, will compete in the latter event as well as the discus throw. Against this aggregate of power, Michigan will stack their main hopes on the Hume twins, who are sched- uled to rack up 18 points, and a bunch of seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths, which should put the Maize and Blue in the same position that they held last year when they won the title without the aid of a single1 first. Bowman and Hirsch, Undefeated Hurlers, Sjated as Starters By BILL MULLEN. . Michigan will seek to make it six, Wes>tern Conference baseball victor- ies in as many starts today when it takes on the up and coming Indiana nine in a double header on the Hoosiers' home diamond at Bloom- ington.. Coach Ray Fisher's Wolverines have already notched a pair of tri- umphs each over Iowa and Ohio State to become the only Big Ten outfit that can boast a perfect rec- ord. All other squads have dropped at least one tilt. In order to preserve the team's perfect slate, Fisher will send his two ace pitchers, lefty Bo Bowman and right hander Elroy Hirsch to the mound in the twin-bill. Neither hurler has met defeat so far this season although Bowman ran into difficulty at Illinois last weekend and had to be content with a 4-4 seven- inning tie. Fischer Watching Bowman Bowman apparently had the game in the palm of his hand going into the seventh but a three-run Illinois uprising climaxed by a three-run homer by Row Wiedow tied up the ball game. Rain interfered before the contest could proceed another full frame. Thus, Fisher is a little worried about his star southpaw's performance at Bloomington, but is hoping he will regain his winning form. In his only start against Confer- ence opposition, Hirsch threw a one- hitter against Ohio State and Fish- er is confident that he can turn in another winning stint against the Hoosiers. Hirsch' activities for to- day are still a matter' of doubt as he is also entered in the Western Conference track meet at Cham- paign, Ill., but Fisher made it clear that the baseball squad had first call on his services and that he will hurl the second game of the twin- bill regardless. Wolverines Need Double Victory Michigan needs a double victory today to insure its continued stran- gle-hold on the Big Ten lead. Al-' though a split or even the loss of two games would not put the Wol- verines out of the running entire- ly, it would necessitate a double-win over Purdue in the last games of the season next Saturday. As Pur- due is one of the tougher teams in the Conference, this feat might not be so easy. At the beginning of spring train- ing and during the first few tilts of the campaign, Indiana was looked upon as a pushover by most observ- ers. Coach "Pooch" Harrel had one veteran and a small squad of civilian freshmen from which to mold a ball team, and most experts figured it couldn't be done. Draft Weakens Indiana Club Then there was the draft which kept claiming his first string per- formers almost as fast as they be- came able to hold their own in stiff competition. But in spite of these handicaps, Harrel has built a team which was strong enough to lick Purdue once last week and almost turned the trick twice. Fisher characterized the Hoosiers as a "rapidly improving ball club" and one which might give any team a lot of trouble. They are no longer rated as "pushovers," and while they are out of the running for any title laurels, are in. a position to make Michigan's championship q u e s t mighty difficult with a pair of upset wins today. Bobo Newsom Pitches 3-2 Vilcory over Tigers DETROIT, May 26.--(})-Blustery Bobo Newsom got a measure of re- venge on the Detroit Tigers today by gaining the pitching victory in a 3 to 2 decision by the Philadelphia Ath- letics that ran Detroit's home record to one victory in 13 games and six successive defeats. Last week at Philadelphia, old Bobo lost to the Tigers and Paul Trout on two unearned runs, but this time things evened up for Newsom. The A's gathered three unearned runs off Trout, and Jittery Joe Berry came on the scene in the ninth to save old Bobo's victory.
