1, 1950 THE MICHIGAN DAILY v Third UWrslebins l Eleven Seniors Say 'Adios' To Michigan Baseball Team Northwestern Takes Fourth Straight Title; Lincoln Stars By JIM PARKER Eleven seniors wound up their Michigan baseball careers this sea- son, eight of whom made their final appearances in intercollegiate competition in the victorious sweep of Ohio State last week-end. The eight who saw their final action against the Buckeyes were: Bob Hicks, pitcher; Hal Morrill, first base; Bill Bucholz, second base; Bob Wolff, shortstop and team captain; Ted Berce, utility infielder; Ralph Morrison and Vic Fryling, center field; and Bob Fan- oett, right field. THE THREE other seniors on the squad are pitchers Jack York and Dick Bogard and first base- man Ed Froscheiser. Hicks, a vital factor in the Wolverines' drive for their third consecutive Big Ten champion- All lockers at the I-M Build- ing must be vacated by Satur- day, June 3. Earl Riskey ship, posted a 3-1 hurling record against Conference foes and had a 2-1,mark in non-league com- petition. York made four mound appear- ances over the season and Bogard pitched in two games with only York registering a decision, an 8-4 win over Ft. Meade. AFTER A prolonged early sea- son batting slump, Morrill finished strong to post a .253 batting aver- age for the year. The biggest sin- gle day at the plate for the vet- eran first sacker was a fourvfor five outburst against Notre Dame last week. After sharing the first base duties during the Southern trip, Froscheiser was later used pri- marily in a pinch hitting role. Both Bucholz and Wolff played the entire season at their respec- tive second base and shortstop po- sitions. * * * BUCHOLZ proved a dangerous lead off man, placing second to Leo Koceski in runs scored with 24 while Wolff tallied 23 and hit Conference pitching at a .265 clip. In eight Big Ten games Berce pounded out eight hits in 13 trips to the plate for a phenom- inal .615 percentage, tops among league batters. Playing at three positions over the season, Berce batted .333 for the year. Morrison finished the year with a .305 hitting mark and- played or shared the center field spot in all but one game, the second Illinois contest. IN THAT GAME Fryling, a right handed batter, got his first taste of action of the year against the left handed hurling of Illinois' Juny Tangman. Fancett held down the right field berth in every game except the William and Mary contest, in which he pitched the Wolverines to an 8-4 victory. The only Michigan senior to hit over .300 in the Conference, Fan- cett posted a .311 average in Big Ten play.

DICK EVANS . golf captain AF '* Link Sqrfuad Pdicks Evans For Captain Dick Evans was named captain of next year's Michigan golf squad by his teammates at a meeting yesterday afternoon. The honor caps a highly ru- cessful season for the sophomore lad from Shaker Heights, Ohio. * * * DURING the regular schedule of daul meets, Evans' consistent play was a firm support upon which the Wolverines constructed eight team victories against six set- backs. He was the Michigan drum- major on the fairways at Ohio State last weekend when his team finished third in theduWest- ern Conference links tourna- ment. In 72 holes of medal play he exceeded par by only six strokes for a creditable 294 to- tal, sixth lowest of the event. If his putter had, not failed him in the tourney he might have ruin away with the player champion- ship in his first attempt, but his play on the greens did not su- port his excellent efforts off the tees and on the fairways. By CY CARLTON Special to The Daily EVANSTON, 11.-Northwestern's Wildcat netmen were only playing possum. They rose from a ghostly third place after the preliminaries Mon- day to a ressurected Western Con- ference Tennis Championship by grabbing four of five singles cham- pionships and sinking Illinois and Michigan to second and third. THE FABULOUS Wildcats cap- italized on everything and came up with 19% points over Illinois' 17 and Michigan's 14. Wisconsin was fourth with 7% followed by Indiana, Purdue, with an Iowa-Minnesota tie for seventh. When the teams faced off for the finals Wednesday the Wildcats had placed six men in the singles divisions and one doubles team. Michigan and Illinois had three in the singles and two doubles teams. IT WAS Tuesday when Grant Golden of Northwestern beat Bud Little of Illinois in the number one singles division. At the same time Don MacKay in number one for the Wolverines was way off his game as he slipped under Warren Mueller of Wisconsin, 6-2, 6-1. Then Michigan's Al Hetzeck lost his chances at the number two crown as Bill Landin of the Wildcats played an inspired game and came up on top 6-4, 6-3. Wolverine Dick Lincoln light- ened the scene for Michigan as he beat Gene Buwick of the Illini, 6-2, 7-5, but Curt Buesman of Northwestern also cleared for a finals position. * * * NUMBER FOUR singles saw Steve Bromberg top Boilermaker Ed Wagoner 6-1, 6-0, but Wildcat captain Scott Pieters was sched- uled for the other half of the fin- als, having upset second seeded Wilson Besant of the Illini. Tuesday also saw Len Brumm for the Maize and Blue playing one of the hardest games of the tournament in number five sin- gles against Curt Morsell of the Purple and White. Lennie took the first set and dropped the second. Ahead 4-3 in the third, Brumm was going for everything in one of the gamest exhibitions at the tour- nament net. But Morsell had too much and Brumm slipped under 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. DORIEN RUSSLER was up for the Wolverines in the six singles bracket and played three sets that rivalled Brumm's in fight. But he fell before the hard smashes of first seeded Bob Bennorth of Ill- inois. In the semi-finals of the doubles MacKay and Hetzeck won the right to face Golden and Landin of the Wildcats by beating Joe Piateak and Bob Strome of In- diana 6-2, 6-1. NUMBER TWO doubles showed Bromberg and Lincoln clipping John Schmitt and Negendank of Wisconsin 6-0, 6-3. Yesterday Northwestern gar- nered their first singles cham- pionship when Golden ground over Mueller of Wisconsin 6-3, 6-4. In the number three court Mich- igan got its only singles champion- ship as Dick Lincoln turned Curt The University Golf Course will be closed to public play on Saturday until 4 p.m. Bert Katzenmeyer Buesman of Northwestern loose on the short end of a two set score. But not without a fight. * * * LINCOLN took the first set 6-3. Then ahead 5-2 in the second, he faltered and Buesman went up 6-5. Then Lincoln tied it 6-6. In a long duece dual Lincoln broke Bruesman's service as the Wild- cat double faulted and Lincoln finished high 8-6. In the number one doubles Mich- igan faltered and Wildcats Golden and Landin topped MacKay and Hetdeck, 6-3, 7-5. But Michigan got its second championship in the number two doubles as Bromberg and Lincoln scalped Illinois' Bu- wick and Bennorth 6-1, 6-2.
