SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thinclads, Golfers HosttoISC * t State Track Squad Tests Wolverines By NORM MANGOUNI Track teams representing Mich- igan and Michigan State will meet for the first time in three years today when the Spartans visit Ferry Field for a dual contest slated to begin at 1:30 p.m. The Spartans, who defeated the Wolverines, 682-63%, in 1947 for their first dual win over Mich- igan in history and followed up by running to a 57-57 stand-off in 1948, are slight underdogs today. * N * AMONG FEATURE events will be both the mile and two-mile races; with State's Captain War- ren Druetzler and Michigan's Don McEwen expected to match strides in both distances. Meet records for the mile (4:25) and two-mile (9:59.1) races are in danger since both runners have broken those times consistently. Michigan's Captain Don Hoo- ver, Big Ten indoor champion in both the high and low hurd- les, and State's Jesse Thomas, who finished second to Hoover in both events, may threaten meet records in th8 obstacle races. Another top-notch race is in prospect in the 880 yard run as George Jacobi and Chuck White- aker of Michigan compete against the Spartans' Don Makielski, a former Ann Arbor High star. * * * BOB CAREY of the Spartans, and Michigan's Tom Johnson and John Lingon will match efforts in the weight events. Carey, who has thrown the shot well' over 52 feet, will be favored in that event but may receive stiff competition in the discut from Lingon, an Ann' Arborite who bettered 138 feet last' week against Wisconsin. In the sprints, MSC's Art In- gram and Dick Henson are about on a par with Michigan's Bill Konrad. Joe LaRue of Michigan and the Green and White's Lee Jones should pro- vide an interesting duel at 440 yards. The broad jump will bring to- gether Horace Coleman and Ron Soble of Michigan, and the Spar- tan's Thomas, while the Wolver- ines' Lowell Perry and State's Hugh Dawson will be pittedl against one another in the high .Jump. PLUVIUS REIGNS: 'M' Nine Tries Again Rain blocked any chance thatv Michigan's baseball team had to break into the victory column against Michigan State yesterday, but, weather permitting, the Wol- verines will have an opportunity for their first conference win when they journey to East Lansing to- day. Yesterday's game between the state's two Big Ten schools has been rescheduled for May 29. * * * THE RESCHEDULING was pos- sible because coaches John Kobs of MSC and Ray Fisher of Michi- gan agreed to the cancellation of yesterday's game before t h e Spartans left East Lansing. Under present Big Ten rules a rescheduling is possible if it is made before the visiting team arrives at the game site. In today's encounter Fisher plans to send Bob Larsen to the hill in an effort to hand MSC its first Conference setback and give the Wolverines their initial league win.

He added that the Rose Bowl was a fine experience for the players, but certainly not for the coach, and declined to predict whether the Big Ten's bowl agree- ment with the Pacific Coast would be continued. * * * THE MICHIGAN football coach Was interviewed by six high school sports editors on the stage while some 500 high school journalism students from throughout the state of Michigan lookd on. It was one of the most intense inter- views in his career. Oosterbaan told his audience that college athletes at Michi- gan, especially football players, are given no special considera- tions, either financial or aca- demic. Furthermore, he pointed out that the athletic administration here does not make the initial overtures to any high school grid player, and that the boy must show an interest in Michigan be- fore he is contacted in regard to Spartans End Grid Practice While the Wolverines are head- ed into their final week of spring football drills, the Spartans of Michigan State hold their con- cluding scrimmage this afternoon at Macklin Field at 2:30 p.m. This final game between the Green and White squads is one of the top attractions of the spring at the Red Cedar Greenery. Last year the tilt drew approximately 15,000 spectators and just as many are expected today. The Michigan State squad will boast another fine aggregation of ends for next fall's campaign. Captain Bob Carey, a 6-5, 215- pound mass of humanity, will lead the corps of flankers. Other ends counted upon for quite a bit of work include Carey's twin brother Bill, Doug Bobo, Paul Dekker and Ann Arbor's Don Do-. honey. In fact, the end department is so strong that two very promising flankers at the start of spring training, Harlan Benjamin and Art Ingram, were shifted to defen- sive backfield work.

OOSTERBAAN ANSWERED a query about Michigan's great foot- ball record by saying that success depends not only on skill, but on spirit and enthusiasm. It is these fields that professional football sometimes falls down, he said, but with these factors equal, the aver- age professional team is better than a college one. Oosterbaan was even grilled by the high school sports writers about Michigan State and their Cancelled Michigan's scheduled tennis meet with the Northwestern Wildcats yesterday was called off because of inclement weath- er.

To this he re- plied that the Spartans had a "terrible effect," and he pointed to their last year's upset victory. BENNIE OOSTERBAAN ... needs no introduction helping him plan his college car- eer. THE WOLVERINE mentor ex- plained it is a rarity to find a college football player who has not had high school grid experi- ence making good in the Big Ten. However, he said that some of the best prep starts fail to make the grade in college football. In some cases this is because they are out to make a name for themselves on the gridiron ra- ther than to play in the best in- terests of the team, Oosterbaan confided. He commented that some fresh- men will probably make the var- sity team next fall, but that as a rule he is against freshman play- ers in varsity competition.

If the weather permits, Ohio State's Buckeyes and the Spartans of Michigan State will engage Bert Katzenmeyer's charges on the University links at 9:00 a.m. *N * * MICHIGAN WILL probably field its regular lineup which includes Bob Olson, Dean Lind, Dick Evans, John Fraser, Lowell LeClair and Hugh Wright, playing in that or- der. The only position that is slightly doubtful is that of Hugh Wright, number six man on the squad.

Ohio State will come to Ann Arbor with a squad headed by Tom Nieporte, one of the Big Ten's outstanding golfers. Nie- porte is a junior and a resident of Columbus. He is expected to face Olson, Michigan's number one man, in one of the feature matches of the day. Last year the Wolverines edged Michigan State, 151-11%V, and Ohio State, 17-10.

Since only three teams from this district can make the trip to Columbus, competition will be hot as skippersand crews try to sail into the honored trio. * * * DON McVITTIE is slated to skipper the 'A' boat for the Wol- verines, but the 'B' skipper and crews have yet to be decided. Each sailing club enters an 'A' and a 'B' boat in each race, making a total of 14 jndividual races in the regatta. The win- ning crew of each race sails the losing dinghy in the next, to eliminate any advantages which might be gained from sailing a superior boat. Thus each school has a chance to use each of the boats sometime during the meet. 1 Michigan expects its closest competition to come from the University of Toledo. The Toledo- ans sailed off with first place in the Michigan Invitational regatta two weeks ago with the Wolverine sailors close behind, but this week the Wolverines will be out to leave Toledo among the also-rans. The other schools that will Read Daily Classifieds' weigh anchor this morning are Purdue, Michigan State, Wayne, Detroit, and Bowling Green. All are fairly new to collegiate sail- ing competition. The frst race is scheduled to cross the starting line at Whit- more at ten o'clock this morning, weatherpermitting. The Wolver- ines have been severely handicap- ped so far this season with high winds and rough water . out at Whitmore, and they think it's about time for a change for the better.
