Michigan's Tars started off the season with a victory in their own 7 invitational regatta. The other crews never had a chance to see the front of the Wolverine ding- hies as the Sailing club gai nered 123 points in the two-day meat. DePauw with 104 points, and Notre Dame with 87 points were the second and third place teams. * * THEIR SECOND victory came the following week over highly rated Notre Dame.

Michigan led the way with 72 points, fol- lowed by Purdue with 64 and Bowling Green with 51.

Line Painer, who lettered as a sophomore last year, is the only other man with any outfield ex- perience returning. In the infield Fisher will have to do a complete rebuilding job as only Dorr is returning.

A strong group of soph hurlers is expected to help the mound staff considerably. The 1951 team will use the new Ferry Field baseball stadium which compares most favorably with any collegiate park in the country. It was placed in service during the past season but was not complete- ly finished until the end of the campaign. The park seats 3,500 and is com- pletely steel and concrete with modern facilities for the players and fans. A new shower room has been installed underneath the sta- dium for visiting players to save them the trouble of walking across to the Sports Building, as they had to do in the past. It looks like the 1951 baseball season offers Michigan farts the best in both a ball club and a grandstand.

Triangular courses were used in each meet. This kind of course was used so that the wind will hit the boats from a different direc- tion on each of the three legs of the race. Every crew had the same type boat, with equal weight and speed in each regatta. Double-trouble dinghies, 111% feet long, were used in the meets. These boats are ex- ceedingly difficult to handle be- cause of their smallness and shal- low displacement. Read Daily Classifieds -. URING TED STYLING N FF.
