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.

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.
