Tigers Await
Return to Club
of Greenberg
By The Associated Press
DETROIT, June 14- The Detroit
Tigers still had received no direct
word today from Hank Greenberg,
who passed through the Army's sep-
aration center at Ft. Dix, returning
to civilian status after four years in
service.
General Manager Jack Zeller of the
Tigers declared, "We'll have no
trouble over a contract. He's entitled
to the same salary he was getting
when he was inducted in 1941."
At that time the slugging Tiger
outfielder was reportedly the highest
salaried player in baseball, drawing
$55,000 a year.

Hard Word Order
Of Day for Squad
By BILL MULLENDORE
Coach H. O. "Fritz" Crisler prom-
ises plenty of hard work for those
varsity football candidates who re-
port, for summer practice, July 2,
when Michigan will begin intensive
preparations for the 1945 grid cam-
paign which opens Sept. 15.
"We want every candidate on hand
f',r the opening day of practice,"
Crisler said. "With Great Lakes,
Indiana, and Michigan State as our
first three opponents, we will need
all the work we can get if we are
going to be ready when the start of
the season rolls around."
Schedule T nughi
The 1945 schedule is one of the
toughest ever drawn up for a Mich-
igan squad, Crisler stated, in review-
ing the prospects for the season.
Evey squad-member, lie continued,
will have to be on his toes every min-
ute of every practice session, if the
chaUengc of that schedule is to be
met.
Several of the teams on the sched-
ule, Crisler said, have already had
the benefit of intensive spring prac-
tice. Others will bring summer drills
before the Wolverines get underway,
indicating that the Michigan squad
will have some catching up to do.
Have Brief Layoff
Summer practice will be the order
of the day from July 2 to August
10. After a two-week layoff, drills
will begin again August 27 with the
opening of fall practice and continue
until the start of the season.
The Wolverines will have seven or
eight lettermen back from the 1944
eleven which finished second to Ohio

State last season in the Western
Conference. Several promising new-
comers are also expected to bolster
the squad.
Following the Great Lakes opener,
Sept. 15 here, the Wolverines will be
at home for their next two games,
meeting Indiana, Sept. 23, and Mich-
igan State, Sept. 29. Crisler will
take his squad to Evanston, Ill., Oct.
6, for a game with Northwestern, and
the Wolverines will travel to New

York City, Oct. 13, for the featured
clash with Army. .
Oct. 20 has been left as an open
date, but Michigan will swing back
into action Oct. 27, meeting Illinois
at Champaign. Minnesota comes to
Ann Arbor Nov. 3, and the Wolver-
ines are scheduled to play Navy at
Baltimore, Nov. 10. Purdue and Ohio
State will furnish the opposition for
the next two tilts, Nov. 17 and 24,

Vast improvement in hishbatting
and continued excellence in handling
of pitchers place Michigan's Bob
Stevenson head and shoulders above
any catchers met by the baseball
team this season, according to Coach
Ray Fisher.
Stevenson, playing all eight games,
was second among the regulars with
a batting average of .346, and he has
a fielding average of .986 to his
credit.
Stevenson's years in professional
baseball before coming to the Uni-
versity in the V-12 program and his
subsequent years here enable him to
compare advantages of pro ball with
those of playing on a college team.
Praises Fisher
"Pro players are much more base-
ball-wise," he said, but added that
one does not often find the patience
of college coaches such as Fisher.
"Working under Ray," he continued,
has been a privilege as well as a
valuable experience."
Stevenson admits that, everything
considered, he prefers pro to college
baseball and intends to continue
catching as long as he is able.
Of the many notabae events of this
year's successful baseball season,
Stevenson likes to remember the
three games the team swept from
Notre Dame and also the look on
Ray Fisher's face at the end of the
decisive Purdue series, kvhen the
team emerged Conference champions
for the second consecutive year.
The 22 year old from Cincinnati is
II

concluding his second year here. He
arrived in '44, never having seen a
colege game, with five years experi-
ence in eastern leagues and also the
Intnernational League behind him.
The season just past is probably
his last on the team. "We'll miss
him," stated Coach Fisher, "He's
bLen our best receiver in years."
