Tennis Team Wing Twice Nefer4 Top Duke, Washington ant Lee Michigan's hard driving netters went tramping through Dixie dur- ing Spring vacation and racked up two victories in four appearances below the Mason-Dixon line. The Wolverines defeated the Blue Devils of Duke 8-1 and Washington and Lee by the same score but bowed to North Caro- lina, 10-2, and the University of Virginia, 5-4. Wolverine net mentor Ray Dixon commented that "the team did very well considering the fact that they had not had any outdoor practice prior to the Southern trip." "The boys picked up a lot of good experi- ence for the Big Nine cam- paign," Dixon added. Dixon entered eight singles and four doubles in the North Carolina meet but the Tarheels proved too much for the Wolverines.

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.

Heikkinen split a pair ol deeisitns in the games he started, beating Camp Lee 12-5 ;,nd 1ouint to Washington and Lee 4-0. 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. tling Way Tlo GO All in all, the Wolverines looked a far cry from the club that was Big Nine runner-up last year, but they still have five non-conference gaines to n i olit the kinks before lea;ue Voitl)etition gets under' IT'S CREW-CUT TIME!
