Four Non-Conference Tilts Offer Michigan
Week s Respite from Big Nine Competition
Taking a brief respite from Big Nine competition, Michigan's
baseball squad will play four non-Conference games this week, in-
cluding a pair of contests with the Irish of Notre Dame, the first of
which will be played at Ferry Field this afternoon starting at 3:30.
Coach Ray Fisher will be without the services of rightfielder Bob
Chappuis and outfielder Paul Vieth for todlay's game and probably
for the rest of the season. Chappuis pulled the same leg muscle that
bothered him in the Rose Bowl game in January during practice drills,
last week and Vieth sustained a broken wrist in the first game with
Illinois Friday.
Vieth slid into home safely on a double steal when he was in-
jured. It was learned yesterday that the wrist was fractured.
Fisher will probably stick to his strategy of employing three or
four hurlers in the contest, al

though this week he may call on
Art Dole and Bill Taft since they
will not be needed for Confer-
ence action this week.
The next Big Nine games will be
played in Ann Arbor May 28th and
29th, with Northwestern the op-
position. If Michigan can cop
both games, and Illinois is defeat-
ed once in its next four starts, the
Wolverines can tie the pace-set-
ting Illii for the Conference
crown.
Michigan will return the No-
tre Dane visit, with a jaunt to
South Bend Thursday afternoon
for a single game, and Friday
will meet the University of De-
troit in another away game.
The diamond squad of Western
Michigan will be the host team
Saturday when the Wolverines
travel to Kalamazoo for a single
contest.

the Big Nine title race rests
mainly on the sturdy pitching
arm of Pete Perini, Ohio State
flinger. Perini's showing this
year has been impressive, and if he
is able to stop the Illini in one of
the two games that the Buckeyes
have with Illinois this week-,
end, Michigan's chances will be
strengthened.
Fisher will probably field the
same lirnup that he used in the
second game with Illinois Sat-
urday, with "Bump" Elliott
leading off and playing center.
In the number two spot in the
batting order will be left fielder
Ralph Morrison.
Batting third and playing third
will be Ted Kobrin, and in the
cleanup spot and holding down the
initial sack will be Jack Weisen-
burger, whose tremendous homer
against the Illini Saturday proved
to be the margin of victory.
Howie Wikel, short stop, Dom
Tomasi, middle sacker, and Wil-
lard Baker, right field, will follow
in the line up, and receiver Hal
Raymond will bat eighth.
Kobrin is presently leading the
hitting parade with a hefty .371 in
Conference games. Tomasi trails
the third sacker with a .351 and
Elliott, Michigan's lead off bat-
ter, has pumped out the base hits
to a .317 tune in Big Nine con-
tests.

Leo Koceski was today named
the winner of the Meyer Morton
Trophy, formerly called the Chi-
cago Alumni Award.
The trophy is presented each
spring to the candidate showing
the most improvement in spring
practice, and is based on attend-
ance at practice and value to the
team in addition to the improve-
ment.
A product of Canonsburg, Penn-
sylvania, Koceski didn't learn
about the honor until after he
had returned from his baseball
class late yesterday afternoon,
Played for Canonsburg high
Koceski played .on his Canons-
burg High School eleven for four
years, each under a different
coach. His final year was spent
under the tutelage of Phil Ah-
wesh.
Apparently Ahwesh did a good
job with Leo, because the 19-year
old youth crossed the final chalk
mark 19 times and eight points
after touchdowns for a total of
122 points, a feat good enough to
win the first team left halfback
berth on the All-Pennsylvania In-
terscholastic League.
He came to Michigan last fall
after graduating from high school,
and went out for the freshman
football squad. Within three
weeks, Coach Waty Weber moved
him up with the jayvees.
Shifted to Wingback
When spring practice started,
Koceski went out for his old post
at the tailback slot, but the loss
of "Bump" Elliott, Hank Fonde,
and Don Kuick left a huge hole
to fill at right half, and Leo was
asked to move over and alternate
in that position with Wally Ten-
inga and Bob Van Summern, a
Navy transfer.
How well he has done is evi-
denced by the honor he has re-
ceived, nor is he bothered by the
change.
Koceski has wanted to come to
Michigan ever since "about the
fifth or sixth grade."

Previous winners have set a
difficult example for Koceski to
follow.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 17-
Michigan's golfers got THEIR ire-
ish up today, and, after a best-
ball stalemate in the morning,
roared back in individual compe-
tition to swamp Notre Dame's
Fighting Irish, 17-13.
The victory marks the first time
in the long series of matches be-
tween the two schools that the
Wolverines have been able to trip
up the Irish on their home course.
Strong Wind Hinders Golfers
A high wind played havoc with
the golfers forcing considerable
use of Kentucky windage and
driving the scores up.
Ken Berke turned in his finest
performance of the season as he
led Michigan's linksters inthe
low score department. In the
morning, Berke took a one over
par 73 to set the pace then came
right back in the afternoon to
shoot a 75 and again lead the
M~ihigan golfers.
A pair of Notre Dame stars leads
both teams in the race for scoring
honors. Ed Klessman shot a one
under par 71 while his teammate
was making the round in 72
strokes.
'M' Depth Wins
It was Michigan's depth then
that proved the difference be-
tween a win and a loss as the
Wolverines posted a team average
of 76.7 which the Irish couldn't
quite match.
Captain Ed Schalon took 74
strokes in the morning then
slipped up to a 77 in the after-
noon.
Dave Barclay took a pair of 78's
in getting around the course
twice. Rog Kessler beat Barclay
in by a couple of strokes as he
shot two 77's.
Elliott Posts 76, 78
Pete Elliott tallied a 76 and a
78 in the two rounds while Doug
Beath pounded out an 81 and a
78.
Chuck MacCallum played only
in the afternoon session and
wound up Michigan's activity with
a 77.
Michigan's pair of victories over
Northwestern and Notre Dame
this weekend sets the stage foi
the climactic match with Purdue
this weekend.
The Wolverines have nov
slammed out nine straight wins
not dropping a match since their
baptism to fire on the southerr
tour.

CHAMPAIGN CHATTER . ..
More than 12,000 fans saw the
weekend series with the Illini. Fri-
day's crowd of more than 5500 was
the largest to witness an Illinois
baseball game since 1923.
Almost as interesting as the ball
game itself was the bench jockey-
ing that went on between the rival
teams. -Both the Wolverines and
Illini were at their best, but the
Michigan squad got the nod by a
vocal cord.
Each game was marked by a
couple of fine fielding plays by
both squads. For Illinois in the
first game there was a diving
catch by Bob Anderlik of Wil-
lard Baker's blooper into center
and the terrific throw by Bur-
dette "Pirate" Thurlby that
nailed Ted Kobrin at the plate
with what would have been the
tying run.
For Michigan, in the .second
game, Ralph Morrison and
"Bump"' Elliott collaborated to
hold George Fischer's hit to left
to a double and prevented Al
Wickland from scoring on the
play. Morrison fielded the ball in
poor position to make a throw and
flipped a pass to Elliott who fired
it in to the infield.
A source of joy to Michi-
gan from is the superb fielding of
third sacker Ted Kabrin, espe-
cially in the second game, as he

cut off several potential Illinois

Jack Weisenburger's home run
in the fifth frame of the second
game was the second one to
clear the fence in Champaign
this year. It was a tremendous
line drive that went over the
wall a few feet fair.
Things that will take a lot of
explanation.. . Russ Stager's dive
for Dom Tomasi's blooper after it
had hit the ground about three
feet in front of him, allowing it to
go for a double. And Thurlby's
running from the first to second
in the last of the ninth when
Steger hit a dinky liner to Howard
Wikel. He was the tying run and
when he was easily doubled, the
ball game was over.

To say Ken Doherty was pleased
with his team's performance last
Saturday would be a gross under-
statement.
"It was the finest team per-
formance, with possibly oneex-
ception, that I have seen since
becoming head coach," said the
Wolverine mentor.
He was full of enthusiasm for
his boys, every one of them-for
every one of them performed at
his very best.
Possibility of "M" Win
There was a time, after Tom
Dolan had cleared 6 feet 5 inches
in the high jump, and Gene
Moody had pole vaulted 13 feet to
beat Lloyd Duff, that the infiel
was humming with the possibility
of the Wolverines doing the im-
possible-beatingethe Buckeyes.
After the pole vault results had
been announced Michigan was ac-
tually in the lead momentarily.
And being ahead of probably the
finest track team ever to run in
the Big Nine was quite an accom-
plishment.
Moral Victory for Michigan
It was certainly a moral victory
for the Maize and Blue as far as
individual events were concerned.
Dolan had never done six-five

this summer.
Val Johnson answered a big
question in the minds of the Wol-
verine coaches by running the 220
in 21.6. There's e no doubt now
that he'll fill the gap in the dash
department and possibly add six
points to the Wolverine total at
Evanston at the end of the month.
Johnson Gains Personal Triumph
Val also got a lot of personal
pleasure out of beating Harry
Cogswell in the quarter after tak-
ing a licking from him down in
Champaign not long ago.
Justin Williams, who was a high
school champion and who has
shown a lot of promise all year
finally came through in winning
the two mile grind.
He kept on Frank D'Arcy's heels
all the way and had enough left
at the finish to lick him going
away.
Half Mile a Thriller
The Barten-Whitfield duel in
the half was a beautiful thing
to watch. The Wolverine captain
ran his usual race, letting the
opponent set the pace all the way
and then using his tremendous
kick to pass the Ohio speedster on
the final turn and outrun him to
the tape.
Whitfield's defeat was convind-
ing, to say the least, but the slen-
der Buckeye ace regained much of
his lost prestige by running a
terrific anchor quarter for his
mile relay team which made Bar-
ten look like he was loafing.
His long, easy stride made all
the experts look up and take no-
tice-he looked more like a great
quarter-miler than a middle dis-
tance man.
The Ohio team looked just as
good as it was billed to be-after
the mile relay everyone agreed to
that. But the Wolverines looked
equally as good in defeat.
Ken Doherty thought it was as
fine a going away gift as any track
coach could ask for.

Coach Bill Ludolph's junior
varsity golf squad will be seeking
its first win away from home to-!
day when they tangle with Grand
Rapids Junior College on the Jay-
sees' course.
Fresh from a 14-7 victory over
the Law Club, last Friday, the
Wolverines will be after win num-
ber five in an attempt to end the
drought of defeats on foreign
links. Michigan's record for the
season stands at four wins and
three losses-not including the
match with the Law Club.
Jerry Weiler, Keith LeClaire
whose 78 card won the medalist
honors in the contest with the
Lawyers, John McCloy, and Bill
Telfer have been chosen to repre-
sent the Maize and Blue in this
four-man match.
The Grand Rapids team fell be-
fore the superior playing of the
Wolverines, 15-3, in the previous
meeting of the two clubs on the
Ann Arbor course. LeClaire was
the outstanding performer of the
match posting an 83 on the cold,
windy day. The steady playing of
Weiler also enabled him to de-
feat Ray Miller, the Jaysees' num-
ber one man.
