Even though Michigan's Big
Nine Golf Champions were
dumped a couple times on their
tour of the southern circuit,
Coach Bert Katzenmeyer stuck an
optimistic smile through his new-
ly acquired sun tan to express his,
satisfaction on his team's progress
to date.
It was the combination of two,
hot collegiate teams and the long
winter layoff that stopped the
Wolverines in their first two
matches of the 1943 season.
Deacons Too Tough
Playing the Carolina CountryI
Club in competition with Wake
Forest, Michigan ran into some
double trouble in the Deacons'
number one and two men, Buddy
Worsham, brother of former Na-
tional Open Champ. Lew Wor-
sham, and Arnold Palmer. The
pair turned in sub-par scores of
68 and 67 respectively while Wol-
verine Ed Schalon was swinging
over the long course in a meager
72 strokes.

The Wolverine netters made a
good showing in their Southern
trip despite the fact they won
only one of their three matches,
according to coach Bob Dixon.
The tennis team was victorious
when they played Duke last Wed-

After their first loss the Wol-
verines bounced back with a 7-5
win over Duke University. The
Duke paper reported the score,
however, as a 5-4 win for the Blue
Devils and this was accepted by
the local metropolitan papers.
Dixon corrected this by stating
that the two schools agreed before

and the Last Word in Comfort

By BVEV IWSSYI
Bill Orwig's appointment, as the
new Michigan end coachmarks
the beginning of an all-M men
coaching era and the renewal of
college day friendships.
Head football man at the Uni-
versity of Toledo last year, 01-i
wig was named end mentor by
boss Benny Oosterbaan over the
week-end. In joining the W olvei'-
ine staff, Orwig also joins many
prayers who stai'ed for Mich-
igan during his years in Ann Ar-
bor.
Was Oosterbaan's Teammate
Oosterbaan, closing an illus-
trious college career in 1923, was
Orwig's teammate on the bas-
ketball squad that year. Noted
more for his cage feats than his
football achievements, Orwig held
down a starting fcrward berth on
the Big Ten co-championship
quintet the following year and
won another letter in 19:30. As-
sistant football coach Ernie Mc-
Coy captained the '29 cage vin-
ners.
Although h played only one
year of football at end in 1928,
Orwig has always coached foot-
ball, beginning at Benton Harbor

High and later at Libbey High,
Toledo. One of his prep school
protees. wo will faill uinder hi'
guidance again, is end Ed Mc-
Neill from Libbey.
Won State Championship
Under Orwig, McNeill started
out in 1942 on a team that be-
caine the state co-cha umps. Twt o
year's later in McNeill's senior
year, Libbey paraded a 9-0 record
and a clear state title.
Besides instruction in football
fundamentals. McNeill was taught
basic American history by his
football teacher. There was no
fooling around either, according
to McNeill.
Succeeded Weber
When O'rwig took over at Ben-
ton Harbor upon graduation from
Michigan, he picked up where
former 'M' man and present
freshman coach Wally Weber left
off.
Weber, who has been working
with the ends since the opening
of spring practice, will once again
find Orwig taking over for him,
as the new Michigan coach re-
ports for duty either today or
tomorrow.

The tennis mentor felt that

could be expected considering
the fact that the Southerners
have had the opportunity to
play outside practically the en-
tire winter.
The tennis team will play an
intrasquad exhibition match 2
p.m., Saturday on the varsity
courts. After that, they will begin
practice for the first home affair
against Western Michig'an, April
24.
Men interested in trying out
for Michigan's varsity, jayvee,

turn in theird72 hole total by
Sunday. In order to qualify,
candidates must play their

Michigan wrote a tentative fin-
ish to one of its most successful
swimming seasons, April 1-3 as
they copped second place in the
National AAU Swimming Cham-
pionships at New Haven.
With the Western Confer'ence
and NCAA titles securely under
their belts the Wolverine tank-
men will now take a well-ear'ned
holiday, but a few of them will re-
turn to the Varsity Pool in May!
to begin their conditioning, prep-
aratory to the Olympic Tryouts,
July 9-11 in Deti'oit.
Coach Matt Mann is highly
optimistic about his charges
gainingcOlympic berths and
taking the three big events into
consideration his optimism may
be well founded.
The Olympics have only six,
swimming and one diving event
making up the program and the
distances vary to a certain degree
from the standard races swuml
here.
Three freestyle events, the 100-
meter, 400-meter and 1500-meterl
as well as an 800-meter freestyle'
relay make up the brunt of the
events while the specialists per-
form in the 100-meter backstroke
and 200-meter breaststroke.
In the 100-meter Michigan's
chief aspirant will be Dick Wein-
berg, who took secerd in the Con-

ference and third in the NCAA.
His chief competition for one of
the three berths will come from
Alan Ford, former Yale great and
world's record holder for the 100-
yard sprint.
Wally Ris, triple crown holder
with wins in the 100-yard dis-
tance in the Conference, NCAA
and AAU, is another threat as
are Bob Busbey of Fenn College,
Pete Powlison of Washington
and Ohio State's Ilalo Hirose<...
In theI400-meter freestyle Matt
Mann III and Gus Stager are
Michigan's best, but Bill Smith of
Ohio State, Jimmy McLane of An-
dover Academy, Bill Heusnei' of
Northwestern and Jack Taylor of
Akron, Ohio are all strong con-
tenders for this berth.
The 1500-meter has about the
same list of aspirants with Tay-
lor, Mann and McLane being
rated highest. Foster Norris of
Harvard and Andy Lambert from
Williams are also possibilities.
In the 200-meter breaststroke,
which is equivalent to the 220-
yard event in the AAU, Joe Ver-
deur of LaSalle College ranks
head and choulders above a fine
crop of butterfly experts.
Michigan's Bob Sohl is also
regarded as a sure Olympic pros-
peet with the third position be-
ing hotly contested between
Bill Schmidt of Temple, Keith
Carter of Purdue, and Don De-
Forrst of Pennsylvania.
'In the backstroke Michigan's
Captain Harry Holiday is another
likely prospect with Al Stack andj
Al Ratkiewich of Yale giving him
the most serious competition. Bob

are also experts at the dorsal
event.
