GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS @tlrich's Book Store p;; I Michigan Golfers Rated HighInfBig Ten Tourney By BOB ROSENMAN Special to The Daily EVANSTON-A three-way fight between Purdue, Michigan, and Ohio State is in prospect as 60 Western Conference golfers tee' off today in the opening rounds of the Big Ten Golf Tournament here at the Northwestern Univer- sity Links. The tourney will be a 72-hole event with 36 holes scheduled for today and tomorrow. Each team will enter six players with the five lowest scores figuring in the team totals. AFTER EXPERIMENTING with several combinations of players, Wolverine coach Bert Katzen- meyer has at last come up with a combination he feels will best enhance Michigan's chances in the meet Wearing the Maize and Blue today and tomorrow will be captain Dick Evans, Bob Olson, Dean Lind, John Fraser, Lo- well LeClair, and a newcomer, Jack Stumpfig. Stumpfig played only in the match against the University of Detroit and Katzenmeyer's deci- sion to use him instead of Hugh Wright, who has played in most of Michigan's meets thus far this spring, was somewhat surprising. However, Stumpfig has played better golf in recent weeks to merit selection to the team. * * * MICHIGAN HAS fared well against conference opposition this spring. The Wolverines defeated Purdue 29-7, then lost to the Boil- ermakers, 18-9, swamped Indiana, 311%-4%, beat Ohio State twice, 25-11 and 20-16, bested Michigan State twice, trounced Illinois and tied Northwestern, 132-131/2. Purdue, last year's Western Conference champion, will de- fend its title minus the services of little Fred Wampler, last year's Big Ten individualcham- pion and NCAA titlist, and John Hare, 3rd in the Big Ten meet. The Boilermakers will be led by Gene Coulter, a senior, who plac- ed fourth in the Big Ten last year and who went to the quarter- finals in the NCAA champion- ships. Other leading Boilermaker entries are Dave Laflin and Dick Wibel. Laflin was runnerup to Wampler in the-NCAA meet. * * * OHIO STATE, runnerup to Pur- due a year ago, has a well-balan- ced squad led by Tom Nieporte, who placed second among the in- dividual scorers last year. He fin- ished only 3 strokes behind Wam- pler. Other Buckeye lettermen in- clude gridder Dick Widdoes and Don Johnson, both seniors. Michigan, winner of six out of the last nine championships, is regarded as a strong contender, but everyone will be watching the host team, Northwestern. The Wildcats will play over their home course and their strong showing against the Wolverines may prove significant. T h e Wildcats lack overall strength, but veterans Willard An- derson and Bob White may fig- ure in the fight for individual honors. I-M Softball Crown Wonr By Prescott Ferry Field was a veritable hot- bed of activity yesterday as play in the intramural softball circuit approached the final stages. Prescott House copped the resi- dence halls championship by vir- tue of a 23-5 win over Greene House. PITCHER JOHN BIERY went the distance for Prescott while his teammates smothered two less for- tunate Greene House hurlers, Charles Dawson and "Speedy," Roush, with a barrage of hits and runs. Lead-off pitcher Roush got a preview of what was in store for him when he was tapped for a two-rundouble by Prescott's centerfielder, Mal Roberston in the opening minutes of the fifth inning. The inning ended with Prescott leading, 5-0. Relief pitcher Dawson arrived on the scene just in time to witness the only home run of the game by Prescott's catcher, Gerald Arbra- mow, in, the bottom half of the fifth frame. * * * A TWELFTH-INNING home run by Joe Hipsil, combined with the strong arm pitching of Bob Schmidt, gave Sigma Phi Epsilon a 1-0 victory over Phi Delta Theta, thereby moving the Sig Eps into the final round of the fraternity sofetball playoffs. The Sig Eps will meet Chi Psi, 3-2 winner over Phi Sigma Delta in yesterday's other semi- final contest, in the first place finals. The other semi-final encounter saw a last-ditch Phi Sig rally fizzle out with the tying run left on third. Chi Psi moundsman, Roy Nelson allowed two hits, one a run-scoring final frame hit-and-error by Bill Blumenthal. Major League Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pct. GB Wolverines Win in Five Net Matches Hetzeck, Bromberg Lead Michigan Team Special to The Daily EVANSTON-Michigan with six points, found itself tied for first place with Michigan State's Spar- tans at the end of the first day's competition in the Western Con- ference tennis championships here yesterday. The Wolverines advanced four men to the quarterfinal singles matches, scheduled for today. In addition, the number one doubles team, Al Hetzeck and Steve Brom- berg, advanced a notch by winning the only match involving Michigan duos. ILLINOIS, highly regarded in the pre-meet speculation, only managed to gather three points to tie for sixth with Northwestern, the defending champions and host team. Hetzeck, the steady Wolverine captain, took a pair of straight- set matches in his beginning bid for the number one singles dia- dem. He defeated Bob Birnum of Indiana, 7-5, 6-2, and Bill Baumle, Northwestern's ace, 6-1, 6-4. Michigan's other conference meet veteran, Steve Bromberg, al- so had little trouble in putting Ohio State's Bill Van Rieper out of the meet with a 6-4, 6-2 win. He followed it up with a quick victory over Bob Richards of Iowa, 6-4, 6-3. * * * THE Hetzeck-Bromberg combi- nation, hardest workers for the Murphymen, made short work of Purdue's Scanlon and Jones in a number one doubles preliminary match. The set scores were 6-2, 64. In other singles matches, Michigan's lower bracket men1 fared less well than Hetzik and Bromberg, but gained some points with victories by Gene Barrack at number five and Bob Curhan at number six. Barrack had a pair of wins-a 6-4, 6-4 conquest of Iowa's Mike Trueblood, and a close match with Don MacDowell of Indiana, taken by a 7-5, 9-7 count. Curhan, the pint-sized scrapper at number six, defeated George Wellborg of Northwestern, 6-2, 7-5 in a well- played match. Jack Smart, number three, and Mike Schwartz, number four, fell by the wayside in the first-round struggle. Smart was eliminated by Iowa's Don Lewis, 6-0, 6-3, while Schwartz lost a close one to Liv Taylor of Northwestern, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2W With two more preliminary dou- bles matches and four quarterfinal singles duels slated for tomorrow, Murphy's netters hit the crucial point in the championships. Though they are tied for first, Iowa with 5%/2 and Indiana with 412 are close enough to give both Wolverines and Spartans a rough time. Ohio State, with one of its weak- est teams in recent years, failed to pick up a point. Purdue is a notch above the Buckeyes with one point, while Wisconsin has 312 for the fifth-place spot. TV Money May Save Bowl Pact EVANSTON -()- A potential $200,000 sale' of 1952 Rose Bowl television rights may give new hope for continuing the Big Ten-Pacific Coast Conference football marri- age. At' least, with such a melon to slice, officials of both conferences will think twice before settling for divorce. The Big Ten votes today on whe- ther to renew the Rose Bowl pact for another three years after a rather shaky five-year trial of keeping the big New Year's Day classic a family affair. Big Ten athletic directors and faculty representatives gathering for the showdown ballot are split in their views. But hovering over the meetings is the prospect of a coast-to-coast video hook-up by next Rose Bowl time which could swell the revenue as much as $200,- 000 or more with a sponsored live telecast of the grandaddy of bowl games.
