19~OTHE MICHIGAN DAILY., ... .r. 'M' Nine Makes Indiana Third Big Ten Victim, 10- * * * * * * * * * : Grenkoski Victor as'M' Gets Third Big Ten Win 1 By BOB SANDELL Eddie Grenkoski coasted to his second Big Ten triumph yesterday, as the Wolverine baseballers romp- ed to an easy 10-3 victory over Indiana's.Hoosiers at Ferry Field. It was Michigan's third straight conference win in three tries, and it strengthened their grip on first place. THE WOLVERINES handed Grenkgski a four run lead in the second inning and he had little trouble handling the Hoosiers af- ter that. Little Gerry Dorr and Bob Fancett led Michigan's ten hit attack on three Indiana hurlers. Dorr's triple drove in the first three tallies, while Fancett had two singles in his four trips to the plate. Peter Palmer started the second inning assault with a base on balls. Shortstop Bob Wolff beat out a beautiful bunt past the Hoosier pitcher, Bob Tosheff, and Fancett drove out his first hit to load the sacks. DORR STEPPED up and sent what looked like a mere single over second base, but the ball took a bad hop past the centerfielder and Dorr raced all the way to third. He scored the fourth run a little later when Bill Bucholz bunted and was thrown out at first. Indiana got two of the runs back, in the fourth. With one out Bill Brabender worked Gren- koski for a pass. John Phillips beat out an infield hit and then the bases became full when Michigan's Hal Morrill muffed John Kyle's grounder. Catcher John Gorkis then slap- ped a one-bagger to right to chase in Brabender and Phillips. Tosheff bounced into a double play to end the threat. IT BECAME 6-2 in the fifth when the Wolverines combined two singles and two walks to chase Tosheff from the contest. Gren- koski and Leo Koceski both sin- gled. After Ralph Morrison and Morrill both walked to force in a run, Bert Weber replaced the Hoo- sier starting hurler. Koceski then scored on Pal- mer's pop to the second base- man. Leo's hit, incidentally, kept his batting streak going. He has+ in all games. collected at least one hit of the Wolverine's 13 Kyle doubled with two away in the sixth. It was a high fly along the right field foul line that Fan- cett just missed grabbing. Kyle scored when Dorr let Gorkis' boun- der go through into left field. THE WOLVERINES got that one back in the seventh on a walk to Morrison, a sacrifice by Morrill, and a ground single to center by Palmer. In the eighth three more Wol- verines crossed the plate, on hits by Dorr, Bucholz, and Mor- rison along with a walk and an error. Grenkoski got better as the game progressed, allowing only one hit after the fifth and retiring 11 of the last 12 men. Eddie struck out five Hoosiers and walked two over the route. This afternoon's finale begins at 2:00 p.m., with Bob Hicks slated to hurl for the Maize and Blue.

Morrill put the diminutive Hoosier out three times as the Fishermen won their third straight Conference victory, 10-3. Both Morrill and Litz went hitless for the afternoon but the Wolverines outslugged the Cream and Crimson, 10 to six. Wolverines Meet Titans In Net Start Facing uncertain weather and an uncertain future Michigan's tennis team takes court Against the Titans of the University of De- troit in the season opener at Fer- ry Field's varsity courts, 2 o'clock this afternoon. Concerning t h e unfavorable weather, there was a solution: the meet would be moved indoors to the Intramural Building, hard- wood courts if the elements were obnoxious. * * * THE FUTURE OF the team through a long, hard conference season was less determinable. As things look, even the line- up is uncertain. Al Hetzeck, Don MacKay, and Dick Lincoln are battling it out for the number one, two and three slots. Hetzeck was last years number two man operating under Andy Paton. MacKay spent most of the last year at number four and five. Lincoln has shown great improve- ment from the time he played number six singles. STEVE BROMBERG will han- dle number four singles, followed by Ross Herron and Bob Stahl, and Len Brumm who are still thrashing it out for the five andI six spot. Bromberg is up from last year's frosh squad and has looked good in practice. The ab- sence of a spring tour makes the picture of Michigan's chances all the more incomplete. Detroit comes to Ann Arbor wagging a won two, lost one rec- ord behind them. MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE. Union Enters Big Ten Pin Tournament In addition to sponsoring Mich- igan's six-man-.representation in the Big Ten Bowling Tournament to be held today at Purdue, the Union has scheduled a variety of events on its sports agenda for this afternoon and evening. Finals in ping-pong, pool and billiards are slated to start at 1:30 p.m. with trophies and cues being awarded to the winning finalists. * * * THE SIX-MAN bowling team was organized by the Union with the Big Ten Tournament specifi- cally in mind. Picked on the ba- sis of 30 league games, the six men who registered the highest averages are (with their averages in parentheses): Phil Gesner (183); Jim Dows- ley (182); Ed Isaac (180) ; Hank leBost (179); George Waters (178), and Bill Kramp (177). These men will be at Purdue's Memorial Union this afternoon to representent the University in the tournament. Highlighting the evening's at- traction will be an exhibition three-cushion straight rail bil- liards contest, in which Professor Harry Carver of the Mathematics Department will oppose the win- ner of the afternoon finals. Wolverine Sailors Face Irish on Whitmore Lake M' Four Mile Foursome Second in Drake Relays r v The Wolverine Sailing Club, fresh from a victory in the Michi- gan Invitational Regatta last week, will sail against the Notre Dame tars in the first dual meet of the season at Whitmore Lake today.) Though the Fighting Irish fin-J ished two places behind the Mich- igan boatmen in the recent re- gatta, this meet shapes up with both teams conceded an equal chance of coming out victorious. * * * THIS IS BECAUSE dual meets differ considerably from regattas. In a dual encounter the two com- peting schools have several crews sailing in each race. This makes team co-operation the most im- portant factor in all the events. On the other hand, since ev- ery school has only one crew entered in each race of a re- gatta, victory depends complete- ly on individual achievement. Team meets are invaluable for both clubs in that they show how well the individual members of the team race in actual competi- tion. * * * BOTH CLUBS therefore use as many men as possible and rotate them in each race. Notre Dame has sent 12 tars to the meet, while the Wolverines will use any mem- Gridders To hold Second MajorWork-out Today ber of the sailing club who wants to race, in at least one event. The meet will start at 9 a.m. and if the wind is good the races should be completed by 1 p.m., at which time each will run elimina- tions to nick the men who will sail in the Midwestern Regional eli- minations next week. Softball Tilts Dominate IM Sports Scene Despite the elements Intra- Mural competition moved along at a swift pace this week with games in all softball divisions. Fraternity softball lead the way with five games played in both the social and professional divisions. HANK KREMER blasted a home run to pace Sigma Alpha Epsilon to a 12-8 defeat over Alpha Epsi- lon Pi. Sigma Nu came from be- hind to beat Theta Kappa Epsi- lon, 7-4. Chi Psi edged out Kappa Sig- ma, 8-4. Al Silberberg cleaned the bases with a four-master, but it was all in a losing cause. Omega Psi Pho squeezed by Al- pha Tau Omega, 5-4, in five inn- ings. Phi Kappa Sigma was un- able to score a run as they took a 9-0 count at the hands of Phi Delta Theta. * * * BURT SHIFFMAN blasted a ho- mer for Kappa Nu a sthey took it on the chin from Delta Chi, 9-3. Three remaining tilts were contested with Delta Sigma Del- ta trouncing Sigma Delta Chi 15-3, Phi Chi downing Alpha Kappa Kappa 12-6, and Phi Sigma Delta taking Zeta Beta Tau 10-7. In horseshoe results thus far Chi Psi has defeated Phi Sigma Kappa 3-0 and Sigma Chi has whitwashed Delta Sigma Phi by the same score. Three tennis matches have been played with the following results: Beta Theta Phi 2, Sigma Phi Ep- silon 1; Psi Upsilon 2, Triangle 1; and Sigma Alpha Mu 2, Theta Del- ta Chi 1.

NATIONAL LEAGUE By GEORGE FLINT Special to The Daily DES MOINES, IOWA-Michi gan's highly touted four-mile re- lay team fell victim to O' Man Weather and the superior run- ning of the Kansas University quartet as the annual Drake Uni- versity Relays got underway here yesterday. The Wolverine foursome of Charlie Whitaker, Aaron Gordon, Justin Williams, and Don McEaw- en received an anything-but-warm welcome from the weather as a combination of rain, snow, sleet and hail swept over the site of the two-day carnival, and the Kansas four-mile contingent proved to be better mudders to win in the slow time of 17:50.0. * * * OHIO STATE and Illinois fol- lowed the second-place Maize and Blue across the finish line in that order. Yesterday's only other Wol- verine entries - hurdlers Jim Mitchell, Walter Atchison, and Don Hoover -- failed to qualify for the 120-yard high sticks finals. Wisconsin's D o n Gerhmann splashed to a 1:53.5 anchor half mile as his team won the Univer- sity sprint medley relay in 3:28.5. Byrl Thompson of Minnesota fell below his usual standard in the discus throw, but still manag- ed to win with a toss of 158 feet, 6 3/8 inches. Thompson holds the Drake Relays record at 170 feet, 3 inches, and is the defending Big Ten discus champion. McGUIRE OF MISSOURI led a mediocre field across the tape in the two-mile run, posting a 9:16.7 mark. He led the second- place finisher, teammate Fox, by $0 yards of mire-like track. Jim Holland of Northwestern was a surprise loser in the broad jump, as Jerome Biffle of Den- ver leaped 24 feet, 11 inches to take the event. Holland's best leap was 23 feet, 2 5/8 inches. The field of events, particularly the broad jump, were hampered by a blanket of snow which cov- ered the pits. Meet officials had to use a flame thrower to thaw out the frozen sawdust. No relief is in sight for today's events, and a continuance of the dearth of record-breaking per- formances is expected. Michigan's distance m e d le y quartet of Bill Konrad, Gordon, Whitaker, and McEwen will be out to avenge yesterday's defeat in the four-mile event against a field which will include a very strong Wisconsin combo, headed by the ever-present Gerhmann. Charlie Fonille of Michigan will renew acquaintances with big John Helwig of Notre Dame in the shot put in another of today's featured events. Chicago Gives Player, Cash For Wakefield4 CHICAGO- (P) -The Chicago White Sox yesterday announced a deal for outfielder Dick Wake- field of the New York Yankees, involving outfielder Johnny Os- trowski of the White Sox and an unannounced sum of cash. Wakefield,, acquired by the Yankees from the Detroit Tigers last winter in a swap for first sacker Dick Kryhoski, will fly here to join the White Sox in Sunday's double-header against the Tigers. * * * THE WHITE SOX said Ostrow- tki will report to the Yankees' Kansas City Blue's farm club. A White Sox spokesman de- clined to reveal the amount of money going to the Yankees for Wakefield, who was signed by the Tigers in 1941 for areported $52;000 bonus, highest ever paid an untried rookie at the time. The Tigers lured Wakefield from College ranks while he was attending the University of Mich- igan. Now Wakefield returns to play in his home town. He presumably will be rushed directly into the sagging White Sox lineup, getting the right field assignment with Dave Philley shifting from there to centerfield.

As in past years, the Michigan football coaches have expressed the feeling that spring practice is designed primarily to provide an opportunity for newcomers and holdovers from frosh fnd Junior- Varsity squads to display their res- pective abilities. * * * INDICATING the intense inter- est of the candidates for next fail's varsity team, Oosterbaan pointed out that more than the usual average of spring players are sticking with the squad. Michigan's initial turnout of over 150 men was the largest reported in the Big Ten, and it is significant that close to 100 of these men are still reporting to daily practices. Sideline observers feel that this fact indicates that the sense of competition for positons regard- ed as "open" is still very keen, with all candidates fighting hard to gain the hoped-for spots. * * * IN THE FIFTEEN days of prac- tice to date, some outstanding ta- lent has turned up, principally holdovers from Wally Weber's freshman team of last fall. Noteable backfield candidates are Frank Howell of Muskegon, Ted Toper from East Chicago, Ind., and Ypsilanti's Dave Hill. In addition to these freshmen, a 19-year old Monroe junior, Jim Eldridge, is showing great promise in the tailback slot. Eldridge runs and passes with speed and is quick to start from his position, much in the manner of Gene Derricotte, former Wolverine star. * * * LINE CANDIDATES who have displayed excellent possibilities thus far are center Emil Mohr- lock of Grand Rapids, Dick Stro- zewski from South Bend, Ind., guard Bob Timm of Toledo and ends Bud Reem from Detroit and Lowell Perry, formerly a star half- back at Ypsi Central. Oosterbaan has strategically shifted fullback Roger Zatcoff, 208-pound freshman from Ham- tramack, to the center slot. In addition to his defensive work as a linebacker, Zatcoff has been filling in offensively at this pos- ition. Since the stress is decidedly placed on the younger men, only a scattering of lettermen have re- ported for practice, and most of them are only working out on a part-time basis. AMONG THESE are Don Peter- son, Dick McWiliams, Tom Kel- sey, Gene Hinton, Carl Kreager, John Hess and quarterback Bill Putich. T h e quarterback problem, which is confronting most- of the Conference's coaches, is boosted at Michigan by two sophomores - Mark Scarr of Barbertown, Ohio and Bill Bill- ings from Flint. Pete Palmer, senior who won a Jayvee award last fall for his signal-calling, is competing on the Wolverine baseball team, and is not available for spring drills.
