s THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Varsity Golfers Whip mm Sparton Squad, 16-11 . . . ___________ i ) Le Claire Tops 'M' Linksmen I In Windy Meet Special To The Daily EAST LANSING - Michigan's golfers had the inevitable bad day yesterday. But two of the Wolverine links- men who haven't been making- the headlines pulled a 16-11 win over Michigan State out of the fire for Coach Bert Katzenmeyer's squad. Junior Lowell LeClaire and senior rangy John Fraser shot their best golf of the year to take up the slack when it counted. With a four-over-par 76 in the morning match play, and a two- over-par 74 in the afternoon singles competition, LeClaire gained medalist honors in a 30- mile per hour gale which swept the Walnut. Hills Country Club course. Shooting in the number three singles position, LeClaire captured a nine-stroke, 2-% decision over Spartan veteran Carl Mosack. Le- Claire teamed up with portly Hugh Wright to achieve a 1 -1/2 split with Don Stevens and Hale Ware in the pre-noon action. Fraser, medalist in the triangu- lar meet at Columbus two weeks ago, fired a par 72 in the morning round and then came back with an 80 to defeat Bill Albright by ten strokes. The Spartans took a 5-4 lead at lunchtime mainly through the ef- forts of their number one doubles combination. CaptainJack Zinn and Chuck Davenport each carded 74s to shut out Wolverine captain Dean Lind and Dick Evans by a 3-0 margin. Lind took 80 strokes and Evans counted with 77. Fraser and Russ Johnson com- bined for a 12%-2 triumph over Masock and Albright in the num- ber two best ball play. Johnson shot an 82 to go along with Fras- er's par, while the Spartan duo went around in 78 and 80 respec- tively. A pair of 76s by Wright and LeClaire was good enough to split the number three doubles despite Stevens' 75 and Ware's 74. Captain Lind retaliated with a 78 in the medal play to blank Zinn, 3-0, but Evans soared to 82 and suffered a 2/-/ setback at the hands of Davenport, who toured the course in 81 strokes. At this point the point-total was even-steven at 7.-7%. Then LeClaire and Johnson turned in decisive wins to virtually assure Michigan's fifth consecutive suc- cess. LeClaire's sparkling 74 staggered Mosack, and Johnson's 79 was four strokes better than an 83 ef- fort by Stevens. Victory in the number three* and four singles put the Maize and Blue on top, 12.- Fraser finished up with his ten- stroke swamping of Albright, and Wright broke even with Ware, both shooting 84s. Coach Katzenmeyer termed the golf good considering the unusu- ally high winds. He was "glad that his charges got the bad day out of their systems."

Howell powered the ball at a .333 clip and slammed out two home runs. His heavy bat, together with the promising offensive dis- play put on by freshman outfield- er Paul Lepley in the second game at Minnesota gave promise of bat- ting fireworks this Friday and Saturday against Michigan State. HOWEVER, all told, the team made a poor showing at the plate against Iowa and Minnesota. The team's average on the road was a meagre .204, quite a bit lower than the season's mark of .316. In the field things were look- ing up for the Wolverines. Only two errors were made in three games, none proving serious. Don Eaddy, who is still having trouble finding the range to first from third base, chipped in with another boot against Minnesota. Eaddy, whose fine hitting has kept the team up on top in the Conference race, converted to the "hot corner" this year and brought with him a powerful but hard-to- control side arm peg that hasn't proved dependable. Dick Leach, sophomore who has nailed down the first-string catch- ing job and his impressed observers with his heads-up receiving, has also been in a defensive slump. Leach, a conscientious youth from Flint, Michigan, has been working hard on his glove work under the watchful guidance of Coach Ray Fisher and is improving steadily. On the mound, the picture stays the same. Mary Wisniewski, Jack Cgrbett, and Dick Yirkiski remain the top three and have worked every game since the team return- ed from its Southern trip. This trio, aside from standing out on the mound, garnered five of the 19 hits that Michigan got last weekend. Both Kirkoski and Wisniewski picked up wins, while Corbett dropped a 2-1 decision to Minnesota. Tigers Lose Again; Tamed By Nats, 5-2 WASHINGTON - Crafty Con- rado Marrero limited Detroit to six hits as Washington defeated the Tigers, 5-2, last night. The Senators' fifth straight victory was achieved at the expense of Art Houtteman, who was dealt his third loss. * * * CLEVELAND 1, YANKEES 0 NEW YORK - Steve Gromek, unheralded member of Cleveland's vaunted pitching staff, hurled the Indians to a 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees last night in a brilliant pitching duel with Allie Reynolds. . * ** CUBS 2, BRAVES 0 CHICAGO - Johnny Klippstein tamed the Boston Braves with a blazing three-hitter as the Chi- cago Cubs jolted Vern Bickford for a three-hit, two-run fifth inning and a 2-0 victory yesterday.
