Back home from their "spring
training" jaunt through the land
of Dixie where they posted a 5-4
record, Michigan's baseball squad
opens its home season at 3:30 to-
day against Notre Dame.
Wise To Hurl Opener
Far from satisfied with the per-
formance of his charges in the
south, Coach Ray Fisher plans to
throw his ace righthander, Cliff
Wise, against a good Irish outfit
that won four out of five over
the Easter vacation. Wise beat
the lads from South Bend twice
last year and will be gunning for
his ninth straight victory over a
two year stretch. This year he
holds a two-hit 5-1 verdict over
Maryland and a 4-3 win over
Duke.
The Wolverine batting attack,
which fared none too well below
the Mason-Dixon line, will prob-
ably have to face either the south-
paw slants of freshman Jack
Campbell or veteran righthander
John Creevy.
Weisenberger hits .345
Only three Maize and Blue reg-
ulars, 'Jack Weisenberger, Bump
Elliott and Bob Wiese, came north
with anything even resembling a
decent batting average. Weisen
berger provided most of the power
stickwork on the 1rip> by piling
up a healthy .345 average which
included a homer, triple and two
doubles. Elliott hit an even .300
and Wiese connected for a .29
average.
Nor did the Wolverines' defen-
sive department look much better
than their offensive department.
It kicked in no less than twenty-
three errors over the nine games
stretch, but many could be at-
tributable to the lack of practice.

came from seniors Dick Schmidt-
ke and Ed Heikkinen. Schmidtke
shut out Quantico on four hits in
his initial start and then beat
North Carolina, 6-5, with the help

started, beating Camp Lee 12-5

Michigan's portside pitching
strength was t r e a t e d rather
roughly with Bud Rankin being
charged with losses to North Car-
olina. 6-1, and VM, 2-1, and Bob
Wiese being chased in the sixth
inning of the Virginia game. Bob
Fancett relieved Wiese but was
buried under a three-run barrage
in the ninth inning and Michigan
lost, 7-4.

a far cry from the club that was
Big Nine runner-up last year, but
they still have five non-conference

"The eight men who made the

The Wolverines came out on topl
