17, 1944 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAOI Michigan Schedules 20 Games for 1944 Baseball Season JO Western Conference Contests Put on Docket Wolverines Will Open Campaign April 25; Encounter Hawkeyes in Two-Game Series By BILL MULLENDORE With 20 games alreAdv on the docket and three or four more undet consideration, Michigan's 1944 base- ball schedule is rounding into shape. The schedule as it now stands in- cludes ten Western Conference tilts in addition to four contests each with Notre Dame and Western Michigan, and single encounters with service teams from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station and Fort Sheridan. In addition to these definitely on the card, the athletic department is also seeking another home game with Great Lakes and two or three others with local squads such as Fort Cus- ter, Selfridge Field or other Michigan colleges. Dates Not Announced The actual dates for the games have not as yet been announced. However, the Wolverines will open the Big Ten -campaign with a two- game home series with Iowa April 25 and 26. The complete Conference schedule calls for six encounters on home grounds against four played on foreign soil. Michigan will play two games each with five different Big Ten schools during the course of the campaign. Other schools scheduled include Illi- nois (away), Ohio State (here), In- diana (away) and Purdue (here). All of these will be two-game series played on successive days if suitable arrangements for those schools de- pending on men in the V-12 program can be made. Otherwise, it is possible that some bf them may be carded as doubleheaders. Irish Play Two Here The four tilts with the Irish will be split with two being played at Ann Arbor and the other pair at South Bend. A 'simhilar arrangement will be followed for the four Western Michigan conteats. The games with Great Lakes and Fort Sheridan will both take place on their diamonds. Id preparation for this formidable slate the squad of 50-odd aspiring candidates continued to work out in 'Yost Field House under the .watch- ful eye of veteran Coach Ray Fisher who is beginning his 24th year as hear baseball mentor at Michigan. Fisher, the dean of Big Ten coaches, has coachid' eight championship teams during his 24-year tenure, two of them within the last three sea- sons. Weather Ruins '43 Season The weatherman ruined what might have been another champion- ship year for Fisher in 1943 when 13 of 25 scheduled games were rained out. The Wolverines finished the season with eight wins in 12 starts, and wound up in fifth place in the standings, while Ohio State was win- ning the championship. The Maize and Slug will be out this season to Tigers Start Spring.Practice EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 16.-(P) -The Detroit Tigers worked out for a full two hours on a soggy field and in an intermittent drizzle today, ig- nring several Sggestions from Man- ager Steve O'Neill that they call it a day and come in out of the wet. "One thing we aren't short of in this camp is enthusiasm," O'Neill re- marked proudly. It wasn't just the youngsters who set the rainy-day pace. No one work- ed harder than Rudy York and Paul Trout. Arrival of Pitcher Frank (Stub) Overmire today boosted the number of regulars on hand to 13. Overmire, who won seven games last season as a Tiger freshman, came from Grand Rapids where he had attended his mother's funeral. The little left-hander, classified 4-F in the draft, reported at his playing weight of 170. Some 15 pounds lighter thana year ago, and said he felt "great." The club announced the signing of outfielder, Charlie Metro, the 20th Tiger to accept a contract. His signing was reported to have left Roger Cramer and rookie pitcher Rufus Gentry the only players still holding out for better terms. The third day of practice brought the seascn's first camp casualty to the training room for treatment. He was infielder Joe WVtood, who report- .ed lameness in the arm that won a long-distance throwing contest at Briggs Stadium last summer. avenge this lowly position-and the weatherman. Meanwhile, batting practices, pep- per games and other loosening-up drills can move outdoors and partici- pate in intra-squad games. Fisher hopes to quit the Field House during the first part of April, subject to weather conditions. Veterans Bolster Squad Until he sees his men under actual playing conditions, Fisher can make few predictions as to the starting lineup. However, on the basis of past experience it appears likely that all of the returning veterans will fig- ure strongly in his plans. These in- All men interested in becoming baseball managers are asked to call Bob Milnor, head baseball manager, 8177, for details. Ex- emption from PEM will be granted to civilians. elude such men as Bruce Blanchard, star third baseman; Elmer Swanson, veteran catcher; Don Lund, Mike Farnyk, Bob Weise and Bob Nuss- baumer, all outfielders although Weise is currently trying his hand at pitching; and Charlie Ketterer, second baseman. The outstanding fact concerning this collection is the absence of ex- perienced mound talent, which is giv- ing Fisher a few more gray hairs. As yet, the pitching staff is in a very uncertain state but will probably shape up when the squad works out- side. In addition to these men with some previous playing experience on Wol- verine ball clubs, there are several promising newcomers who have made impressive showings in early-season workouts. Red Wings e Bo ston .10-9 DETROIT, March 16.-()-The Boston Bruins lost all hope of get- ting into the Stanley Cup playoffs tonight by losing to the Detroit Red Wings, 10 to 9, in one of the highest scoring National Hockey League games of the season. A crowd of 7,932 looked on as the Bruins counted three times in the last 22 minutes. Herbie Cain, star Bruin wingman who broke the League's 14-year-old individual scoring record Tuesday night against Chicago, counted one goal and four assists tonight to run the total to 80 points. Tonight's first period started off slowly and Detroit led 2 to 1 at the rest stop on goals by Liscombe and Syd Howe. Three straight Red Wing counters within 3%/a minutes at the start of the second made it 5 to 1, Detroit, before Bill Cowley connected for the Bruins. Busher Jackson's two scores within 45 seconds late in the period helped the Bruins to cut the lead to 7 to 4 after a second stanza that saw eight goals. Eight more goals went into the nets in the third period as Boston rallied for four in the :ast six min- utes of the game but th rally was smothered by the final horn. By losing tonight the Bruins fin- ished their season set with Detroit with only one victory and two ties in ten games. Boston did not win on Detroit ice this year. Boston, now certain to finish fifth, has one more game with Toronto. Detroit plays Chicago twice. Swimmers Aim For National Collegiate Title Michigan Will Be Host Next Week To National A.A.U. Chamnpionships By HANK MANTHO Michigan's powerful swimming team, which has already won the Big Ten title, will face a big test this month, when 'they travel to Yale March 24 and 25, in an endeavor to add to their laurels by winning the National Collegiates, and the follow- ing week, they will play host to all entries for the 1944 National AAU swimming championships, which will be held at the Intramural Building, March 31 and April 1. The Wolverines will be gunning for the 13th title in 18 years when they enter the Nationals in New Ha- ven, Conn. In the years that Mich- igan did not win the national crown, they came in second, finishing run- ner-up to Ohio State last year. Team Has Balance Although Coach Matt Mann plans to take the smallest squad in recent years to Yale, and the Wolverines will be minus a representative in div- ing for the first time in the history of the school, their team balance in the individual performances, along with their crack relay teams, gives the Maize and Blue a good chance of winning their 13th title. Merton Church, Chuck Fries, Heinie Kessler, Paul Maloney, John Mc- Carthy; BillKogen and Gordon Pul- ford will be the probable entries for Michigan. The main obstacle that Coach Mann's charges will have to hurdle is Yale, who will be paced by .Alan Ford. Other schools will only be sending their top men, with Ohio State, Harvard, Columbia and Minnesota undoubtedly sending to- ken entries. AAU Meet Here On the following week, Michigan will be the center of attraction, when some of the greatest amateur swim- ming stars in the country assemble to defend their world records in the National AAU meet here. Leading this procession will be Bill Smith of Great Lakes, Adolph Kiefer of the Bainbridge Naval Station, and Alan Ford of Yale, who will be favored to capture their specialties, and will be out to break their own marks. The number of contestants will be less this season than in pre-war years, but the calibre of the com- petition this year will more than offset this, as most of the present record holders that are already en- tered are in the best shape of their careers. Smith' To Compete Great Lakes, paced by Bill Smith, who holds seven world records from 200 to 800 meters, will be favored to win the meet, with Michigan coming in second. Smith has openly stated that he will enter the 100-yard dash against Alan Ford of Yale, who now holds the world mark at :50.1 sec- onds, and this should prove to be the highlight of the whole meet. Charles Batterman, formerly of Ohio State, who came in second in the low and high board diving at the National AAU last year, and is now stationed at Columbia, will make the trip here if he can secure permission from the Navy. Adolph Kiefer, who holds all world records in the backstroke, and after being dethroned in the 100 and 200- yard dorsal events by Harry Holliday of Michigan last year, retained those two titles in fine fashion earlier this season, and should come close to breaking some of his records. 10 Man T rack Squad Entered At Chicago Track Coach Ken Doherty today announced the personnel of a 10- man squad to represent Michigan in the Chicago Relays Saturday eve- ning. In announcing his selections, Doh- erty indicated that only one man, quarter-miler Bob Ufer, is expected to bring home a victory, but that all the others should perform well against the stiff competition. Ufer, three times Western Confer- ence champion in the 440 and holder of the world's indoor record at that distance, will compete in the 600- yard dash, an event which he has run only twice this year. On one occasion he smashed the existing record, but a disagreement among the officials prevented its recogni- tin. Ufer will be running against Bob Kelley, his Illinois nemesis, and Jimmy Herbert, veteran New York- dash man. The mile relay quartet, composed of Jim Pierce, Will Glas, Fred Negus and Ufer, ran a scintillating 3:23.6 mile in the recent Western Confer- ence meet, but Dohierty does not expect it to equal that performance on a board track. Other' Michigan entrants include Capt. Bob Hume in the mile, twin brother Ross and Dick Barnard in the 1,000-yard run, Elmer Swanson in the high hurdles, Julian Wither- spoon in the 50-yard dash and Bill Dale in the highiump. All of these men will be running against the cream of the country's By RUTH ELCONIN Spring being only a few days away, many a "young man's fancy is lightly turning to thoughts of love;" but Phil Marcellus, captain of the 1944 golf team, is more interested in the coming golf season. Marcellus, or "Marcy" as he is called by his friends, first became interested in golf at the age of six, when his father presented him with a set of clubs. When Phil was thir- teen he entered and won his first tournament. It was the City-Junior Golf Tournament held in his home town, Rockford, Ill. "Marcy" has won this title three times. High School Champ In high school Marcellus won let- ters in football, basketball and golf. In his senior year he captained the golf team and it won the Big Seven Conference championship. This con- ference is composed of all the bigger cities in northern Illinois. Before the summer was over, the team add- ed the High School State Golf cham- pionship to its record. Phil entered the University of Michigan in 1940, and he went out track stars and are not rated much of a chance to come down in front. Other top-notch stars of the cin- ders entered at the meet will include Cornelius Warmerdam, world pole vault king; Gil Dodds, holder of the world indoor mile record, and Les Eisenhart, indoor 1,000-yard AAU champion. GOLFER TEES OFF: Marcellus Predicts Successful Golf Season for Michigan for the freshman football team. This was the same team that had Tom Kuzma, Paul White and ' Julius Franks. Marcellus won his freshman numerals playing tackle. During his sophomore year he won letters in football and golf, and in 1942 he played guard on the varsity eleven. Phil's college career was interrup- ted in March 1943 when the Army called the Enlisted Reserve Corps. After two months Phil was back on campus with an honorable discharge and was ready for the golf season. Last year Michigan won the Big Ten Golf championship, and Marcellus says that a lot of credit for the team's success should be given to Ben Smith, last year's captain. "Mar- cy" says that "Smith is a fine golfer with a distinct style of his own." Plays in Amateur Meets Phil has played in a number of tournaments that have given him the confidence and experience that all golfers desire. While in high school he played in the Trans-Mis-' sissippi, Western Amateur, Western Junior and Illinois Tournaments. In 1937 he and Tom Armour won the Pro-Amateur Tournament, and last year he was runner-up in the Rock- ford City Tournament. Marcellus believes that Michigan has a good chance to win the Big Ten championship again this year. Phil says, "With some of the boys from last year coming back, and a fine coach like Ray Courtright, Michigan will be right there on top." Prepare for Final Races Preparations for the state speed- skting championships to be tomor- row night at the Coliseum have reached their final stage. Eddie Lowrey, manager of the rink, announced yesterday that talent for the event will be drawn from Wyandotte, Saginaw, Bay City, Flint, Detroit, Windsor, Chicago and Mil- waukee. The Detroit skating contin- gent has been practicing for the meet in nearby Windsor. while the other entrants have been holding their workouts at the local rink. Among the latest performers to use the Coliseum for practices was the 12-man representation from Sagi- naw. Four entrants so far stand out in the listing of stellar possibilities. Vince Bozich of Detroit is expected to give his opponents a good deal of trouble, since he has held many of the state titles for the past five years. Miss Lockes of Windsor is also a leading challenger in the women's division. Her chief competition will probably come from Saginaw's four Wrona sisters. Mr. Brennan will also be a leading contestant for the men's crowns. The 12 lap track has been leased for the event by the Michigan Skat- ing Association, whose president is Benjamin Bagdade. Bagdade has also arranged for the evening's offi- cials. The races will begin at 7:30 and last until 11. Admission for the general public will be $1.10.
