Late President
WASHINGTON, D.C., April 2q.-
W)-The nation's capital paid its
respect to the late President Roose-
velt today in the Washington base-
ball opener as New York's Yankees
defeated the Senators, 6 to 3.
A hushed throng of 24,494 stood
as Under-Secretary of War Patter-
son; Will Harridge, American League
president; Walter Johnson, one-time
Washington pitching great; and
owner Clark Griffith of the Senators
led the march to the flag pole for
brief ceremonies, followed by a min-
ute of silent prayer.
Sam Rayburn, Speaker of the
House, threw out the first ball.
The Yankees bunched singles by
George Stainback, Nick Etten and
Joe Buzas with a doublekby Don Sav-
age, for three runs in the fourth and
George Stirnweiss' triple helped to
make it 5-0 in the fifth. Lindell's
triple and Etten's third hit closed the
Yankee scoring in the eighth.
Bevens walked Walter Chipple and
Al Evans in the Senators' fifth. Milt
Haefner sacrificed and George Myatt
singled for two runs.

Northwestern, and Ohio State.
The veterans of last year's team are
Jinx Johnson of Grand Rapids, Roger
Lewis of Ann Arbor, David Post of
Schenectady, and Roy Boucher of
Allentown.
Johnson held down the number one
post last year, while Lewis and Post
were numbers five and six,arespect-
ively. These three men walked off
with Big Ten Crowns in their re-
spective divisions in the 1944 Confer-
ence race.
Three Newcomers
The three new-comers being groom-
ed for the remaining berths on the
squad are Jack Hirsch, a Navy trainee
from Cleveland, Gordon Nauggle, Cin-
cinnati, and Bill Taynes, another
Navy trainee -from Grand Rapids.
. The line-up, which will be slightly
irregular inasmuch as Purdue tra-
vels with a five-man' squad instead
of the customary six, will consist of
five singles, and four doubles players.
Wayne Is Next
Captain-elect Roger Lewis will
probably perform in the number one
slot, with Johnson at two, Hirsch,
three, Nauggle, four, and Post, five.
Lewis and Hirsch will form the
number one doubles team, with Post
and Boucher taking over number
two.
Other home matches beside the
Purdue tilt, are with Wayne Univer-
sity next Thursday, Notre Dame on
May 5, and the Broncos of Western
Michigan on May 8.

Maize and Blue
Linksters Open
Against Detroit
Jenswold, Marcellus,
Tews, Captain O'Hara
Back from Last Year
Playing the opening match of the
1945 golf schedule, the Michigan
linksmen will encounter the Univer-
sity of Detroit today in Detroit.
With practically the identical team
that won the Big Ten title in 1944,
the Wolverine squad will face the
Titans in its initial contest under new
golf Coach, Bill Barclay. Four var-
sity letterwinners, including Capt.
Paul O'Hara, John Jenswold, Phil
Marcellus, John Tews, and one first-
year man, Bob Ernst, have been cho-
sen by Barclay to make the trip.
Barclay Names Doubles Combination
Barclay announced yesterday that
the contest will include matches in
both doubles and singles play. The
IWolverine pairs who will face the
Titan doubles combination will be
Marcellus and Tews, and Jenswold
and O'Hara. Ernst will only parti-
cipate in the singles playoffs.
The Maize and Blue golf mentor
said that the team has good balance
and he hopes the squad will be vic-
torious, since the linksmen are aim-
ing at their fourth straight Confer-
ence championship. The Detroit
matches will give them a fine start,
he added.
Weather Detains Practice
Appraising the team; Barclay said
that it is a little early in the season
to make any definite predictions, be-
cause the llayers have not had ample
opportunity to practice, owing toad-
verse weather conditions. Up to date,
Barclay states, the squad shapes up
comparatively well.
It is reported that the Detroiters
will be a much improved club over
last year's Titan squad which were
defeated twice by the Wolverines.
Coach William Joyce's team will have
three first-year men in the top berths.
The Titans will tee off under Harold
Cook in the number one position, fol-
lowed by Slavatore Pomante, Jerry
Fitzgerald, Adam Nowicki, and Bob
Ryan.
Ilinois Goes Down, 3-0;
Fifth Inning Decides Tilt
Twelve 1 1 i-Struck Out by Michigan Ace;
Rosema, Gregor Each Garner Two Hits
By BILL LAMBERT
Behind the two-hit pitching of Ray "Red" Louthen, former Bronco ace,
Michigan opened its 1945 Big Ten season with a 3-0 victory over Illinois
yesterday afternoon at Ferry Field.
Louthen, who struck out 12 Illini batters while walking only one, had a
no-hit ball game in his Pocket until the eighth inning. Jim Neufeldt,
Illinois rightfielder, and catcher John Johns eked out two infield safeties
in that frame, but died on the base'---
pathsias the next three batters went base, and neither team worked a
down in order, double play.
After the two teams played score- Illinois, who up until yesterday

In the seventh, Rosema again
started a rally by singling to right.
After Tomasi and Stevenson went
down, Louthen stepped to the plate
and connected for a base hit, scor-
ing Rosema. The inning ended when
Gerald Kaires made a beautiful catch
of Kell's deep fly to left.
