LARRUPIN' LEFTY:
Morril Improves Hitting
In New Outfield' Berth

v-

By HAROLD TANNER
SThe brightest light in Michigan's
fiIntWk shining batting attack so
W' this season has been a newly
cbriverted outfielder who spent
most of last year on the bench be-
cause of his puny batting average.
Always recognized as a slick
fielding first sacker with potential
hitting ability, Harold Morrill,
juniot' from Flint, was moved to
the outfield by Coach Ray Fisher
on. the Southern trip.
* * *
FISHER DESCRIBES this con-
vet'sion as a necessity rather than
a desire. With Morrill in rightfield,
ak McDonald cduld be used on
first base in order t44t more hit-
ting punch could be brought into
the lineup.
Se far the experiment has
W*rked out nobly with McDon-
aId and Morrill hitting one-two
among the regulars.
Hitting at a .316 clip with 12
hits in. 38 trips to the plate, Mor-
rill follows McDonald in the aver-
ages column but is the team's most
consisteit hitter. Included in his
hits are three home runs on the
gouthern Junket.
ALTHOUGH MORRILL is new
in the outfield, he has handled his
positinn capably so far. His throw-
ing and fielding deficiencies will
probably be taken care of with ex-

perience, but Fisher indicated that
first base is still Hal's best position.
Morrill started the 1948 cam-
paign at first base but had to be
removed because of his poor hit-
ting.
Fisher credits Morrill's rapid
improvement this year to the tall
southpaw slugger's hard work. Hal
has been striving hard throughout
the early spring trying to improve
his hitting stance.
When the basketball team was
practicing and the baseball squad
was working out in the nets at
Yost Field House, Morrill, a start-
ing forward on the cage array,
used to take batting practice be-
fore starting his basketball drills.
* * *
IN PRACTICE yesterday Mor-
rill walloped a long drive to right-
field which Fisher claims would
have hit the tennis court if the
wind had not stopped it. He also
cracked several other solid hits in
the long batting drill.
Leo Koceski and Captain Tubby
Raymond also sparkled ab bat dur-
ing the session which included a
fielding drill.
DO YOU KNOW . "r. Tom
Harmon scored 27 points
against Iowa in 1939 to set the
Big Nine individual scoring
record for a single game.

Round-up
CLEVELAND - The Cleveland
Indians today announced the pur-
chase of Alton Benton, right
handed pitcher, from Sacramento
of the Pacific Coast League.
Benton, 38, is a veteran of 21
years in organized baseball. He
pitched for the Detroit Tigers from
1938 through 1948, compiling a
record of 71 won and 64 lost.
THE PURCHASE price was not
announced.
Benton was acquired to give
relief strength to the Indian's
pitching staff, Tribe officials
said.

NEW YORK-Danny Gardella,
a wartime outfielder with the New
York Giants, lost his bid today
for immediate return to baseball,
from which he was suspended in
1946.
Federal Judge Edward A.
Conger denied Gardella a tem-
porary injunction pending trial
of his suit against organized
baseball for $300,000 damages
and a permanent order lifting
the suspension.
In denying the motion that
baseball be restrained from en-
forcing the suspension, udge Con-
ger said he invoked all the reasons
employed April 1 when he denied
similar applications filed by Max
Lanier and Fred Martin, former
St. Louis Cardinal pitchers.

Matt Mann III was elected cap-
tain of the 1950 Michigan swim-
ming team at the natators' annual
banquet last night.
SON OF THE Wolverine swim-
ming coach, Mann came to Michi-
gan in 1945 from University High
School touted as one of the finest
middle distance prospects in the
country.
He placed second in the Big
Nine 220 and 440-yard. free style
events as a freshman before a
tour of Army duty interrupted
his career.
Returning in time for the 1948
season he quickly resumed his
place as one of the nation's top
stars, winning the Big Nine 1500-
meters free style championship
and placing in the 220 and 440
events as well as in the NCAA and
AAU 1500-meters championships.

HE TOOK SECOND in the Big
Nine in the 1500-meters and third

ing third in the NCAA 220, fifth in

second place 400-yd. free style re-
lay.

nounced the awarding of 19 let-
ters, six reserve awards and 13
