Netmen Face
OSU in Final
Dual Contest
By JOHN BARBOUR
Limping from an 8-1 defeat by
Northwestern last Saturday, Ohio
State's netmen bring a seven win
-four loss record to the Ferry
Field courts at 10:00 this morning
as they face unbeaten Michigan
in the last dual meet of the Wol-

Only one man on the Ohio
squad has an unbeaten record this
year. He is Dave Kuenzli at the
number five singles post, and has
ten wins in ten starts.
WOLVERINE ACE Andy Paton
comes up against Buckeye number
one man Arnie Levenstein who
forced Grant Golden of North-
western into three sets last week
but dropped the match to him,
6-2, 4-6, 6-2.
Al Hetzeck at number two
for the Wolverines faces Guy
Blair at that post for the Bucks.
Blair tried to fight off Ted Hain-
line of the Wildcat squad last
week but didn't have enough as
Hainline pulled by, 6-4, 9-7.

singles for the Buckeyes serves to
Wolverine Fred Otto, while Otto's
teammate, Bill Mikulich at num-
ber four, puts his game against

three hard driving sets but lost,
6-4, 8-10, 10-8.

yards to go, was nosed out at the
tape by Jim Neilson of the Goph-
ers and Bill Garrett of the Hoos-
iers.
The finals, this afternoon are
still wide open, however, with
Minnesota and Indiana ranked as
a toss-up for victory and Ohio
State as a close contender.

ern Michigan Broncos to a 12 in-
ning, 3-3, deadlock in a non-

ternoon.

account of darkness after three
hours of play.

RAY FISHER used three pitch-
ers in the lengthy contest which
was the second of the season be-
tween the two teams. Eddie Gren-
kowski started for the Maize and

WESTERN DREW first blood in
yesterday's contest scoring one run
in the first inning on Robert Pol-
lard's single, a sacrifice, and Cap-
tain Dick Groggel's two base hit.
Michigan rebounded to tie
the score with a run in the sec-
ond frame. Jack McDonald
walked, Bob Wolff singled, and a
wild pitch advanced both run-
ners. A walk to Ralph Morisson
loaded the bases and another
pass to Captain Hal Raymond
forced the run across.
Sophomore Gerald Hogan then
replaced starter Gene Schlukebir
and forced Grenkowski to hit into
a double play and Willard Baker
to ground out. Hogan yielded six
hits during the remainder of the
game.
SCORING ANOTHER run in
the seventh on a fielder's choice, a
single by Bill Bucholz, and a
Bronco error, the Wolverines took
the lead for the only time of the
day.
The Broncos tied the score
with a counter in their half of
the seventh on two singles sand-
wiched around a sacrifice bunt.
Hogan'sbsingle and a resound-
ing triple by Pollard in the eighth
accounted for another Bronco run
and gave Western a 3-2 lead.
MICHIGAN STAVED off defeat
by pushing across the tying run
in the ninth frame when Raymond
worked Hogan for a walk, stole
second, and rode home on Baker's
single.
The Wolverines collected eight
hits during the 12 innings of
play while Western garnered 16
safeties.
Baker and Wolff paced the
Michigan attack with two singles
apiece while Raymond connected
for the only extra-base hit, a
blooping double in the seventh.
