Tennis Squad Begins Defense
Of Title in Purdue Match Here
<*11
Last year's championship Wolver-
ine tennis squad will open defense
of its Conference crown here tomor-
row against Purdue in the first match
of the 1945 season.
The team is bolstered by the pres-
ence of four returning lettermen,
Captain-elect Roger Lewis, Jinx
Johnson, Dave Post, and Roy Bou-
cher. This quartet forms the nu-
cleus around which Coach Leroy
Weir is attempting to build another
championship machine.
Two newcomers to the team are
Jack Hirsch, a sophomore from Cleve-
land, Ohio and Gordon Nauggle, a
freshman from Cincinnati. Hirsch
will fill in at the number three singles
berth with Nauggle occupying the
slot below him.j
They are replacing two outstand-
ing performers of last year, Merl
Gulic and Bill Ford. Gulic maintain-
ed a spotless record in both his singles
and doubles matches last season.
The tentative lineup against Pur-
due finds Lewis at one, Johnson two,
Hirsch three, Nauggle four, and Post
five. Purdue only carries a five man
squad, which necessitates the use of
five singles players instead of the
customary six.
Lewis and Hirsch are slated to
start in the first doubles spot, with
Post and Boucher following at num-
ber two.
The Wolverine netters will play
their second match of the season
Thursday when they meet a Wayne
University squad here.-

Fisher Confident
On Eve of Game
By BILL LAMBERT
Big Ten baseball's oldest rivalry
will be renewed at 4 p. m. EWT (3
p. m. CWT) today at Ferry Field when
the Michigan nine meets Illinois in
what Coach Ray Fisher promises to
be "a real tight ball game."
Although the veteran mentor re-
fused to make any prediction, his at-
titude toward Michigan's first Con-
ference tilt was one of confidence.
He commented that "this will be a
crucial series," and that it will be
some sign of the Maize and Blue's
chances this season.
The Illinois-Michigan feud on
the basepaths dates back to 1892
when the Wolverines trounced the
Illini 18-0, and finds the former
on top in the number of wins with
50 victories against 37 defeats.
Last year, the Orange and Blue
club from Champaign put the only
blot on Michigan's Conference record,
when it tied Fisher's team 4-4 in an
air-tight game which was finally
rained out.
Coach Wallie Roettger brings his
Illinois club here to Ann Arbor rid-
ing on the crest of a two-game win-
ning streak which started last week-
end with a double win over Iowa.

Of Time Trials
Results To Help Select
Thinclads' Personnel
Despite cold weather and high
winds which have set the track team
back several days in its condition-
ing program, Coach Ken Doherty has
announced a series of time trials for
today and tomorrow to help deter-
mine the personnel of the 1945 out-
door squad.
Trials in all field events, including
the pole vault, high jump, shot put,
and discus throw, will get underway
this afternoon. Hurdlers, sprinters,
quarter-milers, and distance men will
be put through their paces tomorrow.
Results Not Conclusive
Results of the trials will not be con-
clusive, but should give Doherty a line
on the performance of some of his
indoor stars when running outside,
and will also give him a chance to
look over some of the new prospects
who reported at the beginning of the
outdoor season.
Saturday's program will be high-
lighted by a five-mile relay bringing
together Michigan's 10 top distance
runners. This race will help Doherty
decide on the personnel for his dis-
tance relay teams at the Penn Relays
next weekend. Final decision on the
Relays' squad will not be made until
Tuesday, however.
Fast Time Probable
In Saturday's relay feature, Ross
Willard, Archie Parsons, Bob Thoma-
son, Dick' Barnard, and Walt Fair-
servis will be pitted against new-
comer Louis Hallisey and veterans
Charles Birdsall, Dick Gehring, and
Bob and Ross Hume. Prospects for
fast times are heightened by the
fact that the two Humes, Thomason,
Parsons, and Willard accounted for
all five places in the mile at the
Western Conference indoor meet two
months ago.
