CIMIGII+GAI IAI L3 WAGE THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Phils, Braves Upset By Jays, 40; A's Lose, 32 By The Associated Press 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. Nats Win a NCAA Tramo p B arthell Places Twice; M' Duo Finishes Ninth 4----~---------- -- S Rest of Majors Await Openers oline Title to Buchana.. 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 Gives Tennis Team Edge Over Big Nine Rivals FOR MOTHER'S DAY - MAY 8th A Perfect gift for a Perf c a sweetheart ...-- Order your fraternity mother's pin or the national mother's pin atv Burr, Patterson & Auld 1209 South University Phone 8887 c)co -o<-o<-ycaco<-yoo<--o>o-oc-m i 1 J 6 4 C / I 1 1 I 1 By JOHN BARBOUR 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. 'M' Mariners 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. Take Action On Scimitar ClubPlea The Michigan Managers Club last night took under advisement the Scimitar Club petition asking varsity status for fencing prior to recommending to The Board of Control of Intercollegiate Athlet- ics.

The DASCOLA BARB ERS Liberty off State Rain Spoils '2' Baseball !Jouite D ebu0:to 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. Rainy Skies I'redaet Newhouser On Hill By The Associated Press 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.

THE PERENNIALLY strong St. Louis Cardinals will open Cincin- nati's home season with either Harry (the Cat) Brecheen or George Munger on the hill. Cincinnati will start Ken Raf- fensberger, who last year threw a pair of one-hitters against the Redbirds. In Chicago a pair of 40-year- olds will take the mound when the Cubs face Pittsburgh. The Cubs will start Emil "Dutch" Leonard, while Rip Sewell has been named for the Pirates.
