TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1948 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA Wolverine Nine poses Notre Dame Here Today ;.. Chappuis, Vieth Missing From Starting Nine LinemUp 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 FILLING BUMP"'S SHOES: Dixon Accepts Koceski Named for Football Trophy Tecaching Post ________*( 'M' Baseball Notes 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.

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."

LEO KOCESKI physical education and hopes to become a football coach when he graduates. Previous winners have set a difficult example for Koceski to follow.

The coach who has directed the Wolverine net affairs since 1946 on a voluntary basis stated that he was not going to Illinois as a tennis coach. Dixon has been teaching in the Michigan School of Education and will receive his doctor's de- gree next month. Notre Dame Falls,, 1743,Ks~ Berk(' Ieads, (oifers To Ninth Straigtil Wil (Special to The Daily) 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. NIGHT BASEBALL National League Philadelphia 7, New York 1.

Fourth Ave. 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 "Our Location Makes the Trip Worthwhile" GOETZCRAFT PRINTERS, INC.

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.

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. metal Stemj 10 ,nide wra~pper, Pipe fo Li i1 i V All members of last Spring's varsity teams and the 1947 Rose Bowl team who desire prints of action shots of track, tennis, baseball and football should contact Ev Ellin, Sports Editor of the 1948 Michigan 'Ensian, sometime this week at the Student Publication Build- ing. JY CG0lfers En gra ge Granid RapidsToday 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.
