Sixteen major league baseball
teams stand ready in the starting
gate today, with the American and
National circuits' 1952 Champion-
ship races scheduled to get under
way.
The World Champion New
York Yankees begin their defense
at Philadelphia where Manager
Casey Stengel will send his ace
pitcher, Vic Raschi, after the
Athletics.
* * *
MEANWHILE, the National
League titlists, the New York Gi-
ants, will hoist their pennant up
the Polo Grounds flagstaff before
giving the Philadelphia Phils first
shot at it in their opener.
Neither the Yanks or Giants
are picked by the experts as re-
peat champs. In the junior loop,
Cleveland's Indians have been
designated by pre-season experts
as the team to beat. The Tribe
faces Chicago's White Sox in
Comiskey Park.
The Brooklyn Dodgers have as-
sumed their perennial role of pen-
nant favorites and they will jour-
ney to Boston for a battle with
the Braves.
IN DETROIT, the weatherman
threatens to dampen what should
be the best attended opening game.
Briggs Stadium's reserved seats
have been sold out for weeks in
anticipation of the Tigers' duel
with the up-and-coming St. Louis
Browns.
Manager Red Rolfe has named.
veteran Paul 'Dizzy' Trout as
his starting hurler. He will be
opposed by the star Brownie
performer, Ned Garver.
St. Louis manager Rogers Horns-
by will present an all-new outfield
made up of Jim Rivera, George
Schmees and Tom Wright.
* * *
IN THE other American League
opener President Truman will pre-
serve the custom of tossing the
first ball as the Washington Sena-
tors entertain Boston' prble-
matical Red Sox.
The National League schedule
finds Cincinnati staging its usual
sellout home opener with the
Chicago Cubs as guests.
One opening game will unfold
under the arc lights of Sports-
man's Park in St. Louis where the
Cardinals face the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates. Eddie Stanky will make his
bow as manager of the Redbirds.
Oddly enough, the two teams
expected to finish in or near the
cellars of their respective leagues,
the Browns and Cubs, have the
best records in Grapefruit Circuit
action.

NEW HAVEN - Breaststrokerl
John Davies broke two American
records and Bumpy Jones one as1
Michigan finished a distant third
to high powered New Haven Swim
Club (Yale) and Ohio State in the
A.A.U. swimming meet here April
3, 4 and 5.
Despite the failure of its ace,
John Marshall, to win any races,
Yale outscored the Buckeyes, 113-
97, to avenge an Ohio State victory
in the N.C.A.A. meet at Princeton
the previous week. Michigan State
and the Navy Olympic squad each
had one point less than the Wol-
verines' 21.
* * *
OHIO STATE'S Ford Konno re-
ceived the award for the high
point swimmer as he triumphed
in the 1500 meter, 220 and 440.
Davies posted his double in the
220 and 100 yard breast stroke,
covering the former in 2:29.1 and
the latter in :59.2. The 100 yard,
record was held by Charley Moss,
ex-Wolverine natator. Jones was
outstanding in his specialty, the
300 yard individual medley. He
covered the route in 2:20.7 for a
new American standard.
Two other Michigan tankmen
qualified for the finals. Fresh-
man Ron Gora gave a creditable
performance in finishing lourth
in the 100 yard freestyle, dom-
inated by the two finest sprint-
men in the country, Clarke
Scholes of Michigan State and
Ohio State's Dick Cleveland.
This was the third straight time
Scholes has stopped Cleveland,
who holds the unofficial world
record for the distance.
Gora also placed third in the
220. Bernie Kahn, Wolverine grad-
uate student, placed sixth in the
100 yard backstroke. It was Kahn's
first competition this year.
* * *
TEXAS UNIVERSITY'S Skippy
Browning dominated the diving
events as he soared to champion-
ships in both the low and high
board events. However, Ohio State
picked up more points in these
events as Morley Shapiro andBob
Clotworthy finished in the run-
ning in both heights and Jerry
Harrison gained a sixth on the
high boards.
A twin win was gained by Dick
Thoman of Yale as he set a meet
record of :56.9 in the 100 yard
backstroke and then went on to
take the 150 yard backstroke the
next evening.
Yale also scored wins in both
the 300 yard medley relay and the
440 yard relay.

Michigan's baseball team gave
an exhibition of resiliency on its
southern swing, bouncing back to
take its last three games and end-
ing up with a five won, three lost
record.
The over-all picture after an in-
different preseason trip shows the
Wolverines a fair ball club, still
lacking the all-important "exper-
ienced pitcher." Two important
new faces were added to the line-
up for opening day.
THEY ARE Dick Leach, sopho-
more catcher who has taken over
the first-string receiving role and
Paul Lepley, a hard-hitting fresh-
man outfielder from Warwick,
Ohio, a fixture in left field.
The team's hitting proved to
be the surprise of the trip. The
club, led by two freshman stars,
managed to compile a very im-
pressive .300 average for the
Southern swing.
Third-sacker Don Eaddy led the
batsmen with a raucous .500 mark,
including two doubles and three
triples. The unheralded -'Lepley
followed with a torrid .451, and
outfielder Gerry Harrington and
All football manager candi-
dates are asked toareport at
Ferry Field Friday at 3 p.m.
-Gerry Dudley
shortstop Bruce Haynam rounded
,out the more potent stickmen with
.360 and .294 averages respective-
ly.
HARRINGTON WAS the only
casualty of the trip, twisting his
ankle in the final game at Vir-
ginia. From his spring training
performance it appeared as though
he's finally going to live up to his
potentialities and if this injury
proves serious it will hurt the
"weak-benched" Wolverine squad.
The pitching department that
was causing Fisher so much
trouble at the start of the trip
turned in a respectable job, more
than living ,ip to expectations.
Right-hander Jack Corbett and
southpaws Dick Yirkoski and
Norm Wisniewski all looked good
on the mound.
Corbett chalked up two shut-
outs, beating Vinthill Army Base
8-0 and a combined Fort Meyer-
Fort McNair soldier squad 2-0.
Wisniewski lost a wild-scoring
contest with Delaware, 10-9, when
Harrington dropped a fly ball, and

came back to beat George Wash-
ington, 10-4.
* * *
HE IS EXPECTED to start
against Wayne University when
the Ferry Field ball yard opens for
business this Saturday. Yirkoski
beat Fort Mead, 9-6, and Virginia,
12-4, as well as seeing action in
relief against Georgetown, a game
which the Wolverines lost, 11-4.
Ralph Fagg, a freshman right-
hander, turned in some good
work in relief against the Quan-
tico Marines, but this didn't stop
the service club from handing
the Wolverines a 15-3 loss.
The most disappointing aspect
of the team's performance down
South was, their poor fielding. In
indoor workouts it appeared as
though the team would rely on
fielding ability when the uncertain
pitching and hitting didn't come

through.

Coach Bert Katzenmeyer was
well satisfied with the showing of
his linksmen on their southern
trip last week despite three Wol-
verine losses.
The Michigan golfers opened
their season on April 7 losing to
Wake Forest, 16'-101 ,and then
fell victim to North Carolina and
Duke by scores of 191-72 and
22%-7%, respectively.
** *
ALTHOUGH the Wolverines re-
turned home without a win for
their efforts, the Michigan golfers
showed constant improvement as.
the week went along. It marked
the first time that the Wolverine
linksmen had been able to do
much outdoor work because of the
inclement Michigan weather last
month.
In contrast to this the South-
ern colleges had played between
eight and ten matches before
engaging the Wolverines.
'Captain Dean Lind carded the
best competitive round of golf
for the Michigan linksmen,
shooting a 71 against Duke last
Thursday. He also was medalist
for the Wolverines in the Wake
Forest meet with a 75.
Michigan played its best golf
against Duke in its final meet, as
Russ Johnson and Dick Evans fol-
Candidates for spring foot-
ball practice are requested to
draw their equipment at Yost
Field House immediately for
the opening of practice Friday.
--Bennie G. Oosterbaan
lowed close behind Lind with a 72
and 73, respectively. Evans was
the leading. Michigan man in the
North Carolina meet with a 74.
DESPITE Evans' fine showing
against Duke he lost to Mike Sou-
chak, 3-0, who registered a 68 for
the best 18 of the meet. Johnson
downed his Blue Devil opponent,
George Toms, 2%/-, however.
Souchak and Toms teams up to
down Evans and Johnson, 2%-%/,
in the doubles match largely on
,the basis of Souchak's 68.
Lind whipped Jim Pollock,
2-1, while John Fraser lost to
Duke's John Eisinger, 2 - , in
the second foursome. The Mich-
igan pair of Lind and Fraser
tied Duke's Pollock and Eisinger,
1?1. l1%, in the doubles compe-
tition.
The third Wolverine pair in the
Duke meet, Lowell LeClaire and
Hugh Wright, failed to garner a
point against Henry Clark and
Paul Hardin, who both shot 71's.
* * *
MICHIIGAN'S Bud Jones play-

ing in the seventh singles match
carded a 75, but lost to Jan Dawes,
21-%2, as the latter shot a 70.
In the Wake Forest meet
Frank Edens of the home team
took medalist honors with a 73,
while Lew Brown was top man
for North Carolina with a 71.
Michigan opens its Big Ten
season against Ohio State and
Purdue in a triangular meet at
Columbus Saturday afternoon.
Katzenmeyer's squad finished
fourth in the Big Ten meet last
season and won a total of eight
matches against five losses and
one tie in dual competition. Last
year the Wolverines split with
Purdue, Conference runner -up,
and beat the Buckeyes in three
dual meets.
