Unbeaten Wildcats Provide Big
Test for Michigan Tennis Squad
In Iitg INine World Series
Taft or Rankin To Pitch
for Michigan;
IRotblatt Goes To Mound for Illinois
Michigan's netters will try to
answer the Big Nine question this
afternoon when they meet highly
touted Northwestern at Evans-
ton to decide which squad will be
the Conference favorites in the
championship meet coingr~ up in
two weeks.
It will be a battle of two top
teams. Michigan, who just staked
a claim to famo with a rous 4g
8-1 win over Illinois last week,
will be out to complete the bill
and establish itself as the bigwig
in. the net circle.
However, the .Wildcats of
Northwestern will have some-
thing to say about this. They
are yet unbeaten and have an
r almost all veteran team.
Top Wildcat is Ted Peterson
who will be a major threat to
Andy Paton, lead man for the
Maize and Blue. Peterson was the
best of the Big Nine netmen last
year in the Conference champion-
ships when he took the cup foi
r the singles matches champ. Ilow-
ever Paton, who has won four of
his five maktches will not let the
champ go by without a battle.
Ted Ilainline, a junior, who
held down the number five spot
last year for the Wildcats has
moved up to the number two
slot and will meet Wolverine
Captain Bill Mikulich.
"Mik" has changed places with
teammate Fred Otto, whose sinus
trouble has forced him to step
down one spot to play the third
singles for Michigan. He opposes
Mary Beskin, another veteran for
Northwestern.
Rated fourth and fifth for
the Wildcats will be returning
lettermen Bill Landin and Bob
Strain. They will oppose Jack
Hersh and Gordon Naugle re-
spectively for Michigan.
Th only newcomer for the
Wildcats is Grant Golden, a soph,
who was one of the top men in
the 1948 national junior indoor
championships, placing second.
He will pose a threat for the
Wolverine number six man, Don
MacKay.
The Wolverines, after battling
NXc thwesten in Evanston will
move to Lafayette, Ind. where
they encounter the Purdue Boil-
ermakers tomorrow morning.
They return to Ann Arbor to-
morrow night.

(Special to The Daily)
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., May 13-
Tomorrow and Saturday are, bigI
days ,for the Wolverine baseball
team, as they meet Illinois in a
crucial two-game series here.
Michigan needs to win both
games from the powerful Illini to
move into first place in the Con-
ference race and it must win at
least one to remain in the running
for the crown.
Defending Champs
Big Nine champs last year, Illi-
nois boasts as strong a team as
there is in the Conference and
the Wolverines will have to go
all out in the series to win.
Mary Rotblatt, who has not
lost a Conference game since
Michigan beat him two years ago,
is the Illini ace in the hole. If
this were not enough, Illinois
coach Wally Roettger boasts two
fine pitchers in the person of
Stan Feldman and Jim Kilbane.
Rotblatt on Mound
Rotblatt will probably pitch to-
Bob Chappuis, Wolverine
rightfielder, was unable to ac-
company the baseball team to
Champaign due to a recurrence
of a pulled leg nmuscle orig-
inally suffered in the Rose
Bowl Game.
morrow's game, with Feldman
slated to go to the hill Saturday
and Kilbane being held for
possible relief work.
Two of Michigan's four defeats
last season came at the hands of
the fighting Illini, losing 7-3 and
2-0. Rotblatt was the winning
pitcher in the first game.
18 Man Squad
Wolverine coach Ray Fisher
named an 18-man squad to make
the trek here in an attempt to
bring Michigan its first diamond
crown in four years.
Five pitchers were selected.
They are Art Dole, Bill Taft, Bud
Rankin, Ed Heikkinen and Bob
Hicks. Either Taft or Rankin will
start tomorrow's contest, while
When Ohio State's mighty
Buckeyes invade Ferry Field Sat-
urday afternoon they're going to
have a hard time recognizing the
Michigan team they so soundly
trounced indoors just a couple of
months ago.
Although it is conceded that
the Buckeyes possess the finest
track team ever assembled in the
Western Conference and probably
the top squad in the country to-
day,vthere's abouta25 Michigan
Wolverines and a. couple of
coaches who will assure you that
monickers don't mean a thing--1
it's performances that count.
No one in the Maize and Blue
track locker room is conceding
the wonders from Columbus a
thing and they have some darn
good reasons why.
Reasons number one and two
are Charlie Fonville and Captain
Herb Barten, a couple of unbeat-
ables who will again be the Wol-
verine mainstays.
Fonville will be shooting for his
world's record in the shot and
seeking to better his 161 foot
heave in the discus. Barten, who
is both mile and half mile champ
of the Big Nine will be aiming
to take some of the wind out of
the sails of Buckeye National
champs Mal Whitfield and Bill
Clifford.
Giving an assist in the middle
distances will be George Vetter
and Bob Thomason, both of whom
have run the half in the neigh-
borhood of 1:55.
The Wolverine's Olympic hope-
ful Val Johnson will be seeking
revenge for a two yard beating
administered to him by Buckeye
Harry Cogswell in the quarter
"mile of the Big Nine indoor meet.
BOB WAKEFIELD
Illini nine against
Cogswclell' best time outdoors to
date has been 49.1 while the
Michigan ace has broken 49 sec-

A caddy championship at the
age of 12 started Ed Schalon, cap-
tain of the Michigan golf team, off
on a brilliant career on the fair-
ways.
Since that early victory, Ed has
had a nearly unoroken string of
successes, the culmination of
which came last spring when he
won the Big Nine golf co-cham-
pionship with Howard Saunders
of Ohio State.
Ed began caddying at the tender
age of 10 in his home town of St.
Joseph. He owes much of his suc-
cess to this early experience and
to the tips he received from the
"pro" and other veteran golfers on
the course.
The Wolverine captain was un-
defeated in 32 duel matches in
high school where hie played golf
for 3 years. He was also state high
school medalist for 2 years.
Ed's first major triumph came
as a junior in high school when he
won the Berrien County cham-
pionship. The following year he
teamed up with a friend to win a
best ball tournament.
Scalon's 312 years in the Navy
Air Corps, included 10 months on
a carrier. Ed even managed to en-
ter a couple of top-flight tourna-
ments while stationed in Texas.
The first of these was the Cadet
Open at Corpus Christi where he
reached the finals only to be beat-
en by Ted Bishop who is now ama-
teur champ of all New England. Ed
believes that this was the best
match he ever played. Later he
also reached the finals of the
Kingsville, Texas Open Tourna-
ment.
Coming to the Michigan cam-
pus in the spring of '46, Ed
started his colegiate career on
the right foot by placing 3rd in
the Big Nine meet of that year
and 8th in the NCAA.
Last year, along with his own
success, he led the Wolverines to
a team championship in the con-
ference and reached the quarter-
finals in the Nationals.
Ed expects to remain strictly an
amateur golfer after graduating
from Engineering school. He has
ao desire to turn professional, but
intends to make his way as a
chemist in plastic or rubber.
Captain Schalon commented
briefly on the chances for his
team this spring. He thinks, that
Michigan's depth will be a big
factor and added that "any
team that beats us really has to
be tough."
He expects the strongest conpe-
tition for the conference title to'
come from the Wildcats of North-
western who will have the advan-
tage of playing on their home
course at Evanston.
Ed, a junior with another year
of competition ahead of him, gives
Coach Bert Katzenmeyer pros-
pects for another fine team next
year.
