NEW YORK-The major league
baseball season got off to an up-
set start today as the Philadelphia
Phillies whipped the National
League champion Boston Braves
4-0, and the Washington Senators
set down the highly regarded Phil-
adelphia Athletics 3-2.
The Braves and Athletics had
been established big favorites to
win their season openers in the
nly games on tap yesterday.
* * *
LEFTY KEN HEINTZELMAN,
starting his 10th major league
season at the ripe age of 33, ruined
Boston's first National League
pennant raising in 34 years by
hurling his Philadelphia Phils to
a 4-0 shutout over. the Boston
Braves today in cold and wind-
swept Braves Field.
A skimpy 9,195 crowd saw the
greatly strengthened Phils
clinch the game in the first
inning against Johnny Sain, the
tribal right hand ace, who had
bowed only three times in 15
previous starts against those
rivals.
Richie Ashburn started Sain's
downf all by opening the game with
a single to center. Before the Bos-
ton 24-game winner was able to
retire a batter, the bases were
filled, Gran Hamner and Eddie
Waitkus both reached home on
Fielders' choices that backfired.
* * *
HEINTZELMAN gave but five
hits, of which Alvin Dark collected
a two bagger and a brace of
singles.
President Truman and Clyde
Vollmer, a rookie, combined yes-
terday to get the 1949 American
League baseball season off to a
rousing start at Washington.
Vollmer came through with a
single with the bases loaded in
the ninth inning to give the
Washington Senators an uphill,
surprising 3-2 victory over the
Philadelphia Athletics.
In addition to throwing out the
first ball, the President performed
another valuable service today.
* * *
A SKILLED BASEBALL guesser,
Mr. Truman last year guessed that
the Yankees would win, 8 to 4.
They did, 12 to 4.
Today, Mr.. Truman picked
Washington, 5 to 4, a neck-stick-
ing-out feat seeing as how the
Senators had lost five opening
games in a row.

Twelve Teams Set To Join
AL, NL Flag Races Today
. . . .
Ed Buchanan is really going
after the trampoline champion's
medals this year - and getting
them.
This time he tramped all the
way out to California where the
University of California was host1
to the NCAA meet Saturday and
added another winner's medal to
his growing collection.
* * * -
ALREADY THIS year, his first
in competition, Ed has notched
the titles in the Big Nine and the
Midwestern Open meets, the big-
gest affairs held in this section of
the country.
Buchanan was in top form as
he displaced Illini Gay Hughes
as holder of the NCAA trampo-
line championship. In dethron-
ing the former titleholder, Ed
was given 275 points out of a
possible 300 by the judges. The
Illinois star was second with
268.
With his win in the trampoline
contest, Buchanan accounted for
seven of Michigan's ten points in
team scoring.
THE WOLVERINES' other
points were gathered by Pete Bar-
thell. Michigan's captain-elect,
placed fifth in a field of 33 con-
testants in the parallel bars event.
Barthell was slightly off the form
he showed in the Big Nine meet,
and had to settle for fifth in tum-
bling.
.Scoring in the meet was even-
ly divided between the 16 teams
entered as Temple University
took firstsplace with only 28
points. Michigan's two man
team placed ninth in the final
standings.
Also ahead of the Wolverines
were Minnesota, 18; Illinois, 171/2;
Kent State University of Ohio,
17; University of California, 17;
Michigan State, 15; Southern
California, 141/; Army, 11.
* * *
MICHIGAN STATE was the
only school who entered as few
as two men in the meet who to-
taled more team points than
Michigan. Spartan Mel Stout
alone accounted for his school's
15 points.
Stout tied for first on the
parallel bars with Joe Kotys of
Kent State. Temple garnered
two individual championships
as Joe Berenato came out on
top in the side horse and Bob
Stout topped the high bar field.
High point man in the meet and
only man to successfully defend
his title was Charlie Thompson,
who piled up 288 points to take
the tumbling championship.
Southern Cal's Jerry Todd won
the flying rings title and Joe
Kotys led the entries in the all-
around scoring.
The NCAA record in the exhibi-
tion 20 foot rope climb was bro-
ken as Ken Foreman of Southern
Cal did it in 3.4 seconds.
DO YOU KNOW.. that Michi-
gan was one of the forefathers of'
baseball, opening the season of
1866 by beating Ann Arbor 33-11?

Depth of talent is what should
put Michigan on the Western
Conference tennis throne when
the last match is played at the
Conference Championships at
Evanston Illinois on May 28.
With Western Indoor Champion,
and Western Conference Singles
Champ, Andy Paton heading the
Wolverine tennis roster, there
seems little doubt as to the out-
come of the number one singles
matches throughout the season.
*, *, *
BUT RANKING below Paton
are the flesh and blood of the
Maize and Blue net power. Bill
Mikulich, Al Hetzack, and Fred
Otto are vieing for the next three
positions. Mikulich who just re-
ported out for tennis a short while
ago seems headed for his last
year's position of number two
singles.
Hetzack, the surprising soph-
omore from Hamtramck, will
probably face his first Big Nine
opposition in the number three
spot, though veteran Fred Otto
is close behind at number four.
Otto and Mikulich were both
members of last year's team that
turned in a sterling record of
seven Conference wins against no
Conference defeats. Otto was in
the three slot last year but re-
current sinus trouble continually
took him out of the singles line-
up and sometimes forced him from
play altogether.
DON MAC KAY HOLDS the
number five slot and could handle
number four if Otto is hit by
sinus this year. Gordie Naugle
and Dick Lincoln have yet to play
on the outdoor courts, but they
seem to be pretty even and may
alternate at the number six post.
The doubles pairings will
probably be the same as last
year with Paton and Mikulich at
one, Hetzack and Otto at two,
and MacKay and either Lincoln
or Nougle at three.
Rivalling the Wolverine tennis
stars are Northwestern's Wildcats
who have a very fine man, Grant
Golden, at number one singles this
year. Golden has shown terrific
improvement since last year, pull-
ing himself up on the Wildcat
ladder.
i
r i
Minnesota has a fiery num-
ber one man in Ken Bayun, who
Paton beat in the Conference
finals last year . . . they rate
about third while Wisconsin and
Illinois come up behind. Illinois'
Dave Brown should show up
well.
The first match scheduled for
April 23 with Purdue might be
called off. Purdue, never a tennis
power, has been having difficulty
picking a team to make the trip.
After that the Wolverines meet
MSC and in rapid succession her
Big Nine rivals and other teams
such as Notre Dame and Western
Michigan, but the depth of Mich-
igan net talent should prove all
the steam necessary to power the
Maize and Blue to the Western
Conference crown.

To See Action
The Michigan Sailing Club has
cleared the decks and is again
ready to set sail.
Commodore Jim Rukin and the
Wolverine Sailors face their first
test of the 1949 sailing season as
they swing into action in the Mid-
West Invitational Saturday and
Sunday at Whitmore Lake.
* * *
THE SAILOR.S will compete
against seven other mid -west
schools; Bowling Green, Illinois
Tech., Indiana, Oberlin, Knox,
Purdue, and Cincinnati.
A total of fourteen races will
be sailed. Each participating
school will enter one boat in
each race.
The purpose of running so many
races is to allow each boat enter-
ed to race against every other
boat entered. This eliminates any
advantage one team might have
because of a slightly better boat.
The Michigan sailors are ou to
better their record of last year
when they placed third behind
Notre Dame and Bowling Green.

THE PETITION was submitted

tain.
In addition to the signed peti-
tian, The Scimitar Club's re-
quest for varsity status con-
tained other data.

The weather man continued to
play havoc with Michigan's base-
ball schedule as yesterday's game
against Wayne University was
galled off because of wet grounds
and low temperature.
As a result, the cancellation
postpones the Wolverine's home
opener until Friday afternoon
when they will tangle with In-
diana, one of the strongest hitting
clubs in the Conference, in their
first Big Nine tilt on the Ferry
Field diamond.
BUT THE INCLEMENT weath-
er conditions did not halt the
Maize and Blue workouts, as Coach
Ray Fisher had all the throwers
tossing the ball around inside the
Yost Field House yesterday after-
noon.
As Coach Fisher had predict-
ed after the southern swing,
failure to hit in the pinches was
the major weakness that caused
the Michigan nine to drop a
doubleheader to Purdue Satur-
day, 5-1 and 2-1. This was the
first time in Fisher's 29 consecu-
tive years of coaching at Mich-
igan that his squad has lost both
ends of a twin bill.
Although the Wolverine hitters
fell down in the runs-batted-in
column, the Boilermaker hurdlers
didn't walk a man in either game
last weekend, a fact which not
only kept them out of trouble
most of the time, but also only
allowed Michigan to advance men
on the basepaths the hard way,
without any breaks to help them
along.
THIS EXHIBITION OF perfect
control was another thing Fisher
hadn't seen in 29 years of coach-
ing.
The Wolverines outhit Purdue,
14-9, in the two ganes, but the
Boilermakers capitalized on the
breaks and made most of their
hits count for a run or two.
Surprisingly enough, the ex-
ceedingly muddy playing field and
the cold weather saw only two
errors, but both of them were
committedby Michigan on rather
easy chances.

Weather permitting, 12 more
major league teams swing into ac-
tion today following yesterday's
pair of upset victories, Washington
tripping Philadelphia, 3-2, in an
American League encounter, while
the Philadelphia Phils blanked last
year's National League champion
Boston club, 4-0, behind the five-
hit pitching of Ken Heintzelman.
Cold and rainy weather, how-
ever, is predicted throughout the
two circuits, which will probably
resilt in a sharp drop in atten-
dance, originally estimated at
about 280.000.
IN DETROIT a pair of fresh-
man managers will get their ma-
jor league baptisms when Chicago
meets the Tigers.
Bengal manager Red Rolfe,
managing a professional outfit
for the first time, is sending Hal
Newhouser to the mound against
Jack Onslow's choice, Al Gettel.
The Detroit southpaw last year
won 21 games, the only hurler in
the junior circuit to take more
than 20 victories, while Gettel's
record was eight triumphs aginst
11 losses.
A crowd of 50,000 fans is ex-
pected.
* * *
THE WORLD Champion Cleve-
land Indians will help St. Louis
open the latter's home season.
Manager Lou Boudreau has
named Bob Feller to oppose the
Browns, while Ned Garver will
start against the Tribe.
Last year's records were 19 won
and 15 lost for "Bullet Bob" and
seven victories against 11 losses
for Garver. About 15,000 people
are expected to attend.
JOE DOBSON will start for Bos-
ton when the Red Sox take on
Philadelphia in "the city of broth-
erly love." Southpaw Lou Brissie,
who last year beat the Bosox in the
opening-day doubleheader, will
take the mound for Connie Mack's
team.
Boston is generally picked to
take the American League pen-
nant this year.
